SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
FNB Bancorp. The common stock of FNB Bancorp is subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the qualification requirements of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended. FNB Bancorp has registered its common stock under Section 12 (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company is also subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which include, but are not limited to, annual, quarterly and other current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
FNB Bancorp is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Bank Holding Company Act"), and is registered as such with, and subject to the supervision of, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board of Governors"). FNB Bancorp is required to obtain the approval of the Board of Governors before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of the voting shares of any bank if, after giving effect to such acquisition of shares, FNB Bancorp would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. The Bank Holding Company Act prohibits FNB Bancorp from acquiring any voting shares of, or interest in, all or substantially all of the assets of, a bank located outside the State of California unless such an acquisition is specifically authorized by the laws of the state in which such bank is located. Any such interstate acquisition is also subject to the provisions of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994.
FNB Bancorp, and any subsidiary which it may acquire or organize, are
deemed to be "affiliates" of the Bank within the meaning of that term as defined
in the Federal Reserve Act. This means, for example, that there are limitations
(a) on loans by First National Bank to its affiliates, and (b) on investments by
First National Bank in affiliates' stock as collateral for loans to any
borrower. FNB Bancorp and First National Bank are also subject to certain
restrictions with respect to engaging in the underwriting, public sale and
distribution of securities.
In addition, regulations of the Board of Governors under the Federal Reserve Act require that reserves be maintained by First National Bank in conjunction with any liability of FNB Bancorp under any obligation (promissory note, acknowledgment of advance, banker's acceptance or similar obligation) with a weighted average maturity of less than seven (7) years to the extent that the proceeds of such obligations are used for the purpose of supplying funds to First National Bank for use in its banking business, or to maintain the availability of such funds.
First National Bank of Northern California. As a national banking association licensed under the national banking laws of the United States, First National Bank is regularly examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and is subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. This supervision and regulation includes comprehensive reviews of all major aspects of First National Bank's business and condition, including its capital ratios, allowance for possible loan losses and other factors. However, no inference should be drawn that such authorities have approved any
such factors. First National Bank is required to file reports with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. First National Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the applicable legal limits.
The Board of Governors, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have adopted risk-based guidelines for evaluating the capital adequacy of bank holding companies and banks. The guidelines are designed to make capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations, to take into account off-balance sheet exposures and to aid in making the definition of bank capital uniform internationally. Under the guidelines, First National Bank is required to maintain (and FNB Bancorp and First National Bank will be required to maintain) capital equal to at least 8.0% of its assets and commitments to extend credit, weighted by risk, of which at least 4.0% must consist primarily of common equity (including retained earnings) and the remainder may consist of subordinated debt, cumulative preferred stock, or a limited amount of loan loss reserves.
Assets, commitments to extend credit, and off-balance sheet items are categorized according to risk and certain assets considered to present less risk than others permit maintenance of capital at less than the 8% ratio. For example, most home mortgage loans are placed in a 50% risk category and therefore require maintenance of capital equal to 4% of those loans, while commercial loans are placed in a 100% risk category and therefore require maintenance of capital equal to 8% of those loans.
Under the risk-based capital guidelines, assets reported on an institution's balance sheet and certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to risk categories, each of which has an assigned risk weight. Capital ratios are calculated by dividing the institution's qualifying capital by its period-end risk-weighted assets. The guidelines establish two categories of qualifying capital: Tier 1 capital (defined to include common shareholders' equity and noncumulative perpetual preferred stock) and Tier 2 capital which includes, among other items, limited life (and in the case of banks, cumulative) preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and a limited amount of reserve for credit losses. Tier 2 capital may also include up to 45% of the pretax unrealized gains on certain available-for-sale equity securities having readily determinable fair values (i.e. the excess, if any, of fair market value over the book value or historical cost of the investment security). The federal regulatory agencies reserve the right to exclude all or a portion of the unrealized gains upon a determination that the equity securities are not prudently valued. Unrealized gains and losses on other types of assets, such as bank premises and available-for-sale debt securities, are not included in Tier 2 capital, but may be taken into account in the evaluation of overall capital adequacy and net unrealized losses on available-for-sale equity securities will continue to be deducted from Tier 1 capital as a cushion against risk. Each institution is required to maintain a minimum risk-based capital ratio (including Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital) of 8%, of which at least half must be Tier 1 capital.
A leverage capital standard was adopted as a supplement to the risk-weighted capital guidelines. Under the leverage capital standard, an institution is required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to the sum
of its quarterly average total assets and quarterly average reserve for loan losses, less intangibles not included in Tier 1 capital. Period-end assets may be used in place of quarterly average total assets on a case-by-case basis. The Board of Governors and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have also adopted a minimum leverage ratio for bank holding companies as a supplement to the risk-weighted capital guidelines. The leverage ratio establishes a minimum Tier 1 ratio of 3% (Tier 1 capital to total assets) for the highest rated bank holding companies or those that have implemented the risk-based capital market risk measure. All other bank holding companies must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% with higher leverage capital ratios required for bank holding companies that have significant financial and/or operational weakness, a high risk profile, or are undergoing or anticipating rapid growth.
At December 31, 2005, The Company was in compliance with the risk-weighted capital and leverage ratios. See "Capital" under Item 7 below.
The Board of Governors, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have adopted regulations implementing a system of prompt corrective action pursuant to Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Section 131 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). The regulations establish five capital categories with the following characteristics: (1) "Well capitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater and a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive; (2) "Adequately capitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater and a leverage ratio of 4% or greater, and the institution does not meet the definition of a "well capitalized" institution; (3) "Undercapitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio less than 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of les than 4%, or a leverage ratio of less than 4%; (4) "Significantly undercapitalized" - consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3%; (5) "Critically undercapitalized" - consisting of an institution with a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.
The regulations established procedures for classification of financial institutions within the capital categories, filing and reviewing capital restoration plans required under the regulations and procedures for issuance of directives by the appropriate regulatory agency, among other matters. The regulations impose restrictions upon all institutions to refrain from certain actions which would cause an institution to be classified within any one of the three "undercapitalized" categories, such as declaration of dividends or other capital distributions or payment of management fees, if following the distribution or payment the institution would be classified within one of the "undercapitalized" categories. In addition, institutions that are classified in one of the three "undercapitalized" categories are subject to certain mandatory and discretionary supervisory actions. Mandatory supervisory actions include (1) increased monitoring and review by the appropriate federal banking agency; (2) implementation of a capital restoration plan; (3) total asset growth
restrictions; and (4) limitation upon acquisitions, branch expansion, and new business activities without prior approval of the appropriate federal banking agency. Discretionary supervisory actions may include (1) requirements to augment capital; (2) restrictions upon affiliate transactions; (3) restrictions upon deposit gathering activities and interest rates paid; (4) replacement of senior executive officers and directors; (5) restrictions upon activities of the institution and its affiliates; (6) requiring divestiture or sale of the institution; and (7) any other supervisory action that the appropriate federal banking agency determines is necessary to further the purposes of the regulations. Further, the federal banking agencies may not accept a capital restoration plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's capital. In addition, for a capital restoration plan to be acceptable, the depository institution's parent holding company must guarantee that the institution will comply with such capital restoration plan.
The aggregate liability of the parent holding company under the guaranty is limited to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5 percent of the depository institution's total assets at the time it became undercapitalized, and (ii) the amount that is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the institution into compliance with all capital standards applicable with respect to such institution as of the time it fails to comply with the plan. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it were "significantly undercapitalized". FDICIA also restricts the solicitation and acceptance of and interest rates payable on brokered deposits by insured depository institutions that are not "well capitalized." An "undercapitalized" institution is not allowed to solicit deposits by offering rates of interest that are significantly higher than the prevailing rates of interest on insured deposits in the particular institution's normal market areas or in the market areas in which such deposits would otherwise be accepted.
Any financial institution which is classified as "critically
undercapitalized" must be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 90
days of such determination unless it is also determined that some other course
of action would better serve the purposes of the regulations. Critically
undercapitalized institutions are also prohibited from making (but not accruing)
any payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt without prior
regulatory approval and regulators must prohibit a critically undercapitalized
institution from taking certain other actions without prior approval, including
(1) entering into any material transaction other than in the usual course of
business, including investment expansion, acquisition, sale of assets or other
similar actions; (2) extending credit for any highly leveraged transaction; (3)
amending articles or bylaws unless required to do so to comply with any law,
regulation or order; (4) making any material change in accounting methods; (5)
engaging in certain affiliate transactions; (6) paying excessive compensation or
bonuses; and (7) paying interest on new or renewed liabilities at rates which
would increase the weighted average costs of funds beyond prevailing rates in
the institution's normal market areas.
Under FDICIA, the federal financial institution agencies have adopted regulations which require institutions to establish and maintain comprehensive written real estate policies which address certain lending considerations, including loan-to-value limits, loan administrative policies, portfolio
diversification standards, and documentation, approval and reporting requirements. FDICIA further generally prohibits an insured bank from engaging as a principal in any activity that is impermissible for a national bank, absent Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation determination that the activity would not pose a significant risk to the Bank Insurance Fund, and that such bank is, and will continue to be, within applicable capital standards.
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") utilizes the Uniform Institutions Rating System ("UFIRS"), commonly referred to as "CAMELS," to classify and evaluate the soundness of financial institutions. Bank examiners use the CAMELS measurements to evaluate capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk. Effective January 1, 2005, bank holding companies such as the Company, became subject to evaluation and examination under a revised bank holding company rating system. This so-called BOPEC rating system, implemented in 1979, has been focused primarily on financial condition, consolidated capital and consolidated earnings. The new rating system reflects a change toward analysis of risk management (as reflected in bank examination under the CAMELS measurements), in addition to financial factors and the potential impact of nondepository subsidiaries upon depository institution subsidiaries.
The federal financial institution agencies have established bases for analysis and standards for assessing financial institution's capital adequacy in conjunction with the risk-based capital guidelines including analysis of interest rate risk, concentrations of credit risk, risk posed by non-traditional activities, and factors affecting overall safety and soundness. The safety and soundness standards for insured financial institutions include analysis of (1) internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems; (2) loan documentation; (3) credit underwriting; (4) interest rate exposure; (5) asset growth; (6) compensation, fees and benefits; and (7) excessive compensation for executive officers, directors or principal shareholders which could lead to material financial loss. If an agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard, the agency may require the financial institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If the agency requires submission of a compliance plan and the institution fails to timely submit an acceptable plan or to implement an accepted plan, the agency must require the institution to correct the deficiency. The agencies may elect to initiate enforcement action in certain cases rather than rely on an existing plan particularly where failure to meet one or more of the standards could threaten the safe and sound operation of the institution.
Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") regulations evaluate banks' lending to low and moderate income individuals and businesses across a four-point scale from "outstanding" to "substantial noncompliance," and are a factor in regulatory review of applications to merge, establish new branches or form bank holding companies. In addition, any bank rated in "substantial noncompliance" with the CRA regulations may be subject to enforcement proceedings. First National Bank has a current rating of "satisfactory" for CRA compliance.
FNB Bancorp. The Company's ability to pay cash dividends is subject to restrictions set forth in the California General Corporation Law. Funds for payment of any cash dividends by the Company would be obtained from its investments as well as dividends and/or management fees from First National Bank. First National Bank's ability to pay cash dividends is subject to restrictions imposed under the National Bank Act and regulations promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
FNB Bancorp has paid quarterly dividends for each quarter commencing with the second quarter of 2002. Future dividends will continue to be determined after consideration of the Company's earnings, financial condition, future capital funds, regulatory requirements and other factors such as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. It is the intention of the Company to pay cash dividends, subject to legal restrictions on the payment of cash dividends and depending upon the level of earnings, management's assessment of future capital needs and other factors to be considered by the Board of Directors.
The California General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
make a distribution to its shareholders if the corporation's retained earnings
equal at least the amount of the proposed distribution. The California General
Corporation Law further provides that, in the event sufficient retained earnings
are not available for the proposed distribution, a corporation may nevertheless
make a distribution to its shareholders if, after giving effect to the
distribution, it meets two conditions, which generally stated are as follows:
(i) the corporation's assets must equal at least 125% of its liabilities; and
(ii) the corporation's current assets must equal at least its current
liabilities or, if the average of the corporation's earnings before taxes on
income and before interest expense for the two preceding fiscal years was less
than the average of the corporation's interest expense for those fiscal years,
then the corporation's current assets must equal at least 125% of its current
liabilities.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System generally prohibits a bank holding company from declaring or paying a cash dividend which would impose undue pressure on the capital of subsidiary banks or would be funded only through borrowing or other arrangements that might adversely affect a bank holding company's financial position. The Federal Reserve Board policy is that a bank holding company should not continue its existing rate of cash dividends on its common stock unless its net income is sufficient to fully fund each dividend and its prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with its capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.
First National Bank of Northern California. First National Bank's shareholder is entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by its Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefore, subject to the restrictions set forth in the National Bank Act.
The payment of cash dividends by First National Bank may be subject to the approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as well as restrictions established by federal banking law and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of all dividends declared by First National Bank's
board of directors in any calendar year will exceed First National Bank's net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus or to a fund for the retirement of preferred stock. Additionally, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and/or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, might, under some circumstances, place restrictions on the ability of a bank to pay dividends based upon peer group averages and the performance and maturity of that bank.
COMPETITION
In its market area, First National Bank competes for deposit and loan customers with other banks (including those with much greater resources), thrifts and, to a lesser extent, credit unions, finance companies and other financial service providers.
Larger banks may have a competitive advantage because of higher lending limits and major advertising and marketing campaigns. They also perform services, such as trust services, international banking, discount brokerage and insurance services, which First National Bank is not authorized nor prepared to offer currently. First National Bank has made arrangements with its correspondent banks and with others to provide some of these services for its customers. For borrowers requiring loans in excess of First National Bank's legal lending limits, First National Bank has offered, and intends to offer in the future, such loans on a participating basis with its correspondent banks and with other independent banks, retaining the portion of such loans which is within its lending limits. As of December 31, 2005, First National Bank's aggregate legal lending limits to a single borrower and such borrower's related parties were $8,557,000 on an unsecured basis and $14,261,000 on a fully secured basis, based on regulatory capital of $57,045,000.
First National Bank's business is concentrated in its service area, which primarily encompasses San Mateo County, but also includes portions of the City and County of San Francisco. The economy of First National Bank's service area is dependent upon government, manufacturing, tourism, retail sales, population growth and smaller service oriented businesses.
Based upon the most recent information available by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at June 30, 2005, there were 33 commercial and savings banking offices in San Mateo County with a total of $17,835,774,000 in deposits at June 30, 2005. First National Bank had a total of 11 offices in the county with total deposits of $436,868,000 at the same date, or 2.45% of the San Mateo County totals. At June 30, 2004, there were 33 commercial and savings banking offices in San Mateo County with total deposits of $17,013,242,000, while First National Bank had $413,260,000, or 2.43% of the San Mateo County totals.
In 1996, pursuant to Congressional mandate, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation reduced bank deposit insurance assessment rates to a range from $0 to $0.27 per $100 of deposits, dependent upon a bank's risk. In 2005, Congress adopted the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, which will have the effect of merging the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund into a new Deposit Insurance Fund (which is anticipated to occur
on or before July 1, 2006). The FDIC has not yet released final regulations, but it is anticipated that final regulations will be released not later than the fourth quarter of 2006. When released, the final regulations are expected to include, among other matters, (1) increased premium assessments to banks based on a bank's risk assessment profile, subject to a one-time assessment credit for banks that paid premiums prior to December 31, 1996 to offset premium assessments; (2) a $100,000 deposit account insurance limit until January 1, 2012, subject to inflation indexing; and (3) increased retirement account insurance limits to $250,000, until January 1, 2012, subject to inflation indexing. The inflation indexing is expected to use 2005 as the base year and adjust for inflation on April 1, 2010 and every five years thereafter on January 1 of the following year. Until final regulations are released by the FDIC and banks are assigned to a risk category, the precise amount of premium assessment increase cannot be determined, but it is expected that the expense for premium assessments for First National Bank will not increase in an amount that will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. Based upon the current risk-based assessment rate schedule in effect since 1996, and First National Bank's current capital ratios and level of deposits, First National Bank does not anticipate a significant increase in operating expenses due to changes in the assessment rate applicable to it during 2006 from that in 2005.
In order to compete with the financial institutions in their primary service areas, community banks such as First National Bank use to the fullest extent possible, the flexibility which is accorded by their independent status. This includes an emphasis on specialized services, local promotional activity, and personal contacts by their respective officers, directors and employees. They also seek to provide special services and programs for individuals in their primary service area who are employed in the agricultural, professional and business fields, such as loans for equipment, furniture and tools of the trade or expansion of practices or businesses. In the event there are customers whose loan demands exceed their respective lending limits, they seek to arrange for such loans on a participation basis with other financial institutions. They also assist those customers requiring services not offered by either bank to obtain such services from correspondent banks.
Banking is a business that depends on interest rate differentials. In general, the difference between the interest rate paid by a bank to obtain their deposits and other borrowings and the interest rate received by a bank on loans extended to customers and on securities held in a bank's portfolio comprise the major portion of a bank's earnings. Commercial banks compete with savings and loan associations, credit unions, other financial institutions and other entities for funds. For instance, yields on corporate and government debt securities and other commercial paper affect the ability of commercial banks to attract and hold deposits. Commercial banks also compete for loans with savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance companies, mortgage companies and other lending institutions.
The interest rate differentials of a bank, and therefore its earnings, are affected not only by general economic conditions, both domestic and foreign, but also by statutes and as implemented by federal agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board can and does implement national monetary policy, such as seeking to curb inflation and combat recession, by its
open market operations in United States government securities, adjustments in the amount of interest free reserves that banks and other financial institutions are required to maintain, and adjustments to the discount rates applicable to borrowing by banks from the Federal Reserve Board. These activities influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and also affect interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The nature and timing of any future changes in monetary policies and their impact on First National Bank are not predictable.
Since 1996, California law implementing certain provisions of prior federal law has (1) permitted interstate merger transactions; (2) prohibited interstate branching through the acquisition of a branch business unit located in California without acquisition of the whole business unit of the California bank; and (3) prohibited interstate branching through de novo establishment of California branch offices. Initial entry into California by an out-of-state institution must be accomplished by acquisition or merger with an existing whole bank, which has been in existence for at least five years.
The federal financial institution agencies, especially the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Board of Governors, have taken steps to increase the types of activities in which national banks and bank holding companies can engage, and to make it easier to engage in such activities. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has issued regulations permitting national banks to engage in a wider range of activities through subsidiaries. "Eligible institutions" (those national banks that are well capitalized, have a high overall rating and a satisfactory CRA rating, and are not subject to an enforcement order) may engage in activities related to banking through operating subsidiaries subject to an expedited application process. In addition, a national bank may apply to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to engage in an activity through a subsidiary in which First National Bank itself may not engage.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "Act"), eliminated most of the remaining depression-era "firewalls" between banks, securities firms and insurance companies which was established by the Banking Act of 1933, also known as the Glass-Steagall Act ("Glass-Steagall"). Glass-Steagall sought to insulate banks as depository institutions from the perceived risks of securities dealing and underwriting, and related activities. The Act repealed Section 20 of Glass-Steagall, which prohibited banks from affiliating with securities firms. Bank holding companies that can qualify as "financial holding companies" can now, among other matters, acquire securities firms or create them as subsidiaries, and securities firms can now acquire banks or start banking activities through a financial holding company. The Act includes provisions which permit national banks to conduct financial activities through a subsidiary that are permissible for a national bank to engage in directly, as well as certain activities authorized by statute, or that are financial in nature or incidental to financial activities to the same extent as permitted to a "financial holding company" or its affiliates. This liberalization of United States banking and financial services regulation applies both to domestic institutions and foreign institutions conducting business in the United States. Consequently, the common ownership of banks, securities firms and insurance is now possible, as is the conduct of commercial banking, merchant banking,
investment management, securities underwriting and insurance within a single financial institution using a structure authorized by the Act.
Prior to the Act, significant restrictions existed on the affiliation of banks with securities firms and related securities activities. Banks were also (with minor exceptions) prohibited from engaging in insurance activities or affiliating with insurers. The Act removed these restrictions and substantially eliminated the prohibitions under the Bank Holding Company Act on affiliations between banks and insurance companies. Bank holding companies which qualify as financial holding companies can now, among other matters, insure, guarantee, or indemnify against loss, harm, damage, illness, disability, or death; issue annuities; and act as a principal, agent, or broker regarding such insurance services.
In order for a commercial bank to affiliate with a securities firm or an insurance company pursuant to the Act, its bank holding company must qualify as a financial holding company. A bank holding company will qualify if (i) its banking subsidiaries are "well capitalized" and "well managed" and (ii) it files with the Board of Governors a certification to such an effect and a declaration that it elects to become a financial holding company. The amendment of the Bank Holding Company Act now permits financial holding companies to engage in activities, and acquire companies engaged in activities, that are financial in nature or incidental to such financial activities. Financial holding companies are also permitted to engage in activities that are complementary to financial activities if the Board of Governors determines that the activity does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system in general. These standards expand upon the list of activities "closely related to banking" which have to date defined the permissible activities of bank holding companies under the Bank Holding Company Act.
One further effect of the Act was to require that federal financial institution and securities regulatory agencies prescribe regulation to implement the policy that financial institutions must respect the privacy of their customers and protect the security and confidentiality of customers' non-public personal information. These regulations require, in general, that financial institutions (1) may not disclose non-public information of customers to non-affiliated third parties without notice to their customers, who must have an opportunity to direct that such information not be disclosed; (2) may not disclose customer account numbers except to consumer reporting agencies; and (3) must give prior disclosure of their privacy policies before establishing new customer relationships.
Neither the Company nor First National Bank has determined whether or when it may seek to acquire and exercise new powers or activities under the Act, and the extent to which competition will change among financial institutions affected by the Act has not yet become clear.
On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the USA Patriot Act (the "Patriot Act"), which includes provisions pertaining to domestic security, surveillance procedures, border protection, and terrorism laws to be
administered by the Secretary of the Treasury. Title III of the Patriot Act entitled "International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001" includes amendments to the Bank Secrecy Act which expand the responsibilities of financial institutions in regard to anti-money laundering activities with particular emphasis upon international money laundering and terrorism financing activities through designated correspondent and private banking accounts. Certain surveillance provisions of the Patriot Act were scheduled to expire on December 31, 2005, but the deadline was postponed to allow time for evaluation of such provisions, and on March 9, 2006, President Bush signed legislation to reauthorize the Patriot Act, incorporating certain civil liberty protections approved by Congress.
Section 313 (a) of the Patriot Act prohibits any insured financial institution such as First National Bank, from providing correspondent accounts to foreign banks which do not have a physical presence in any country (designated as "shell banks"), subject to certain exceptions for regulated affiliates of foreign banks. Section 313 (a) also requires financial institutions to take reasonable steps to ensure that foreign bank correspondent accounts are not being used to indirectly provide banking services to foreign shell banks, and Section 319 (b) requires financial institutions to maintain records of the owners and agent for service of process of any such foreign banks with whom correspondent accounts have been established.
Section 312 of the Patriot Act creates a requirement for special due diligence for correspondent accounts and private banking accounts. Under Section 312, each financial institution that establishes, maintains, administers, or manages a private banking account or a correspondent account in the United States for a non-United States person, including a foreign individual visiting the United States, or a representative of a non-United States person shall establish appropriate, specific, and, where necessary, enhanced, due diligence policies, procedures, and controls that are reasonably designed to detect and record instances of money laundering through those accounts.
The Company and First National Bank are not currently aware of any account relationships between the Bank and any foreign bank or other person or entity as described above under Sections 313 (a) or 312 of the Patriot Act. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 have realigned national security priorities of the United States and it is reasonable to anticipate that the United States Congress may enact additional legislation in the future to combat terrorism including modifications to existing laws such as the Patriot Act to expand powers as deemed necessary. The effects which the Patriot Act and any additional legislation enacted by Congress may have upon financial institutions is uncertain; however, such legislation would likely increase compliance costs and thereby potentially have an adverse effect upon the Company's results of operations.
The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (commonly referred to as "Check 21") was signed into law in 2003 and became effective on October 28, 2004. The law facilitates check truncation by creating a new negotiable instrument called a "substitute check" which permits banks to truncate original checks, to process check information electronically and to deliver "substitute checks" to banks that want to continue receiving paper checks. Check 21 is intended to reduce the dependence of the check payment system on physical transportation networks (which can be disrupted by terrorist attacks of the type which occurred on September 11, 2001) and to streamline the collection and
return process. The law does not require banks to accept checks in electronic form nor does it require banks to use the new authority granted by the Act to create "substitute checks." The Company and First National Bank do not currently anticipate that compliance with the Act will have a material effect upon their financial position or results of operations or cash flows.
President George W. Bush signed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") on July 30, 2002, which addressed certain concerns regarding corporate governance and accountability. Among other matters, key provisions of the Act and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Act include the following:
Expanded oversight of the accounting profession by creating a new independent public company oversight board to be monitored by the SEC.
Revised rules on auditor independence to restrict the nature of non-audit services provided to audit clients and to require such services to be pre-approved by the audit committee.
Improved corporate responsibility through mandatory listing standards relating to audit committees, certifications of periodic reports by the CEO and CFO and making issuer interference with an audit a crime.
Enhanced financial disclosures, including periodic reviews for the largest issuers and real time disclosure of material company information.
Enhanced criminal penalties for a broad array of white collar crimes and increases in the statute of limitations for securities fraud lawsuits.
Disclosure of whether a company has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, and disclosure of any amendments or waivers to such code of ethics. This disclosure obligation became effective for fiscal years ending on or after July 15, 2003. The ethics code must contain written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
o Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
o Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by the registrant;
o Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
o The prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code, of violations of the code; and
o Accountability for adherence to the code.
o Disclosure of whether a company's audit committee of its board of directors has a member of the audit committee who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert." The disclosure obligation became effective for fiscal years ending on or after July 15, 2003. To qualify as an "audit committee financial expert," a person must have:
o An understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements;
o The ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;
o Experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the registrant's financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities;
o An understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and
o An understanding of audit committee functions.
A person must have acquired the above listed attributes to be deemed to qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" through any one or more of the following:
o Education and experience as a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant or auditor or experience in one or more positions that involve the performance of similar functions;
o Experience actively supervising a principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, public accountant, auditor or person performing similar functions;
o Experience overseeing or assessing the performance of companies or public accountants with respect to the preparation, auditing or evaluation of financial statements; or
o Other relevant experience.
The disclosure obligation contains a specific safe harbor provision to clarify
that the designation of a person as an "audit committee financial expert" does
not cause that person to be deemed to be an "expert" for any purpose under
Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or impose on such person
any duties, obligations or liability greater that the duties, obligations and
liability imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and the
board of directors, absent such designation. Such a designation also does not
affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit
committee or board of directors.
o prohibition on insider trading during pension plan black-out periods.
o Disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions.
o A prohibition on personal loans to directors and officers.
o Conditions on the use of non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures.
o Standards on professional conduct for attorneys requiring attorneys having an attorney-client relationship with a company, among other matters, to report "up the ladder" to the audit committee, another board committee or the entire board of directors certain material violations.
o Expedited filing requirements for Form 4 reports of changes in beneficial ownership of securities reducing the filing deadline to within 2 business days of the date a transaction triggers an obligation to report.
o Accelerated filing requirements for Forms 10-K and 10-Q by public companies which qualify as "large accelerated filers" or "accelerated filers." Large accelerated filers are now required to file form 10-K within 75 days after the fiscal year-end in 2005 and within 60 days in 2006. Accelerated filers are required to file Form 10-K within 75 days after the fiscal year-end in both 2005 and 2006. Both large accelerated filers and accelerated filers must file Form 10-Q within 40 days after each fiscal quarter-end in 2005 and 2006. FNB Bancorp is not currently defined as a "large accelerated filer" or an "accelerated filer" and its deadlines to file Form 10-K and Form 10-Q remain at 90 days and 45 days after the fiscal year-end and each quarter-end, respectively, in 2005 and 2006.
o Disclosure concerning website access to reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, and any amendments to those reports, by "accelerated filers" as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports and material are filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
o Rules requiring national securities exchanges and national securities associations to prohibit the listing of any security whose issuer does not meet audit committee standards established pursuant to the Act, including:
o Independence standards for members;
o Responsibility for selecting and overseeing the issuer's independent accountant;
o Responsibility for handling complaints regarding the issuer's accounting practices;
o Authority to engage advisers; and
o Funding requirements for the independent auditor and outside advisers engaged by the audit committee.
On November 4, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted changes to the standards for the listing of issuer securities by the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market. The revised standards for listing conform to and supplement Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted in April 2003 pursuant to the Act. In the future, if the Company's common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company would be required to comply with these listing standards, as revised, in addition to the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Act.
The effect of the Act upon the Company is uncertain; however, the Company will incur increased costs to comply with the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the Company. The Company does not currently anticipate, however, that compliance with the Act and such rules and regulations will have a material adverse effect upon its financial position or results of its operations or its cash flows.
The California Corporate Disclosure Act (the "CCD Act"), became effective January 1, 2003. The CCD Act requires publicly traded corporations incorporated or qualified to do business in California to disclose information about their past history, auditors, directors and officers. The CCD Act requires the Company to disclose:
o The name of the company's independent auditor and a description of services, if any, performed for the company during the previous 24 months;
o The annual compensation paid to each director and executive officer, including stock or stock options not otherwise available to other company employees;
o A description of any loans made to a director at a "preferential" loan rate during the previous 24 months, including the amount and terms of the loans;
o Whether any bankruptcy was filed by a company or any of its directors or executive officers within the previous 10 years;
o Whether any director or executive officer of a company has been convicted of fraud during the previous 10 years; and
o Whether a company violated any federal securities laws or any securities or banking provisions of California law during the previous 10 years for which the company was found liable or fined more than $10,000.
The Company does not currently anticipate that compliance with the CCD Act will have a material adverse effect upon its financial position or results of its operations or its cash flows.
Certain legislative and regulatory proposals that could affect FNB Bancorp, First National Bank, and the banking business in general are periodically introduced before the United States Congress, the California State Legislature and Federal and state government agencies. It is not known to what extent, if any, legislative proposals will be enacted and what effect such legislation would have on the structure, regulation and competitive relationships of financial institutions. It is likely, however, that such legislation could subject FNB Bancorp and First National Bank to increased regulation, disclosure and reporting requirements, competition, and costs of doing business.
In addition to legislative changes, the various Federal and state financial institution regulatory agencies frequently propose rules and regulations to implement and enforce already existing legislation. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such rules or regulations will be enacted or the effect that such regulations may have on the Company and First National Bank.
In addition to the risks associated with the business of banking generally, as described above under Item 1 (Description of Business), the Company's business, financial condition, operating results, future prospects and stock price can be adversely impacted by certain risk factors, as set forth below, any of which could cause the Company's actual results to vary materially from recent results or from the Company's anticipated future results.
Dependence on Key Officers and Employees. We are dependent on the successful recruitment and retention of highly qualified personnel. Our ability to implement our business strategies is closely tied to the strengths of our executive officers who have extensive experience in the banking industry but who are not easily replaced. In addition, business banking, one of the Company's principal lines of business, is dependent on relationship banking, in which First National Bank personnel develop professional relationships with small business owners and officers of larger business customers who are responsible for the financial management of the companies they represent. If these employees were to leave First National Bank and become employed by a local competing bank, we could potentially lose business customers. In addition, we rely on our customer service staff to effectively serve the needs of our consumer customers. We actively recruit for all open positions and management believes that its relations with employees are good.
Growth strategy. We have pursued and continue to pursue a growth strategy which depends primarily on generating an increasing level of loans and deposits at acceptable risk levels. We may not be able to sustain this growth strategy without establishing new branches or new products. Therefore, we may expand in our current market by opening or acquiring branch offices or other financial institutions or branch offices. This expansion may require significant investments in equipment, technology, personnel and site locations. We cannot assure you of our success in implementing our growth strategy without corresponding increases in our noninterest expenses.
Commercial loans. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 13.8% of our loan portfolio consisted of commercial business loans, which have a higher degree of risk than other types of loans. Commercial business loans generally involve a greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the mobility of collateral, the effect of general economic conditions and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. In addition, unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself and the general economic environment. If the cash flow from business operations is reduced, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired.
Real Estate Values. A large portion of the loan portfolio of the Company is dependent on real estate. At December 31, 2005, real estate served as the principal source of collateral with respect to approximately 85.3% of the Company's loan portfolio. A substantial decline in the economy in general, or a decline in real estate values in the Company's primary operating market areas in particular, could have an adverse effect on the demand for new loans, the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, the value of real estate and other collateral securing loans and the value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio, as well as the Company's financial condition and results of operations in general and the market value for Company Common Stock. Acts of nature, including fires, earthquakes and floods, which may cause uninsured damage and other loss of value to real estate that secures these loans, may also negatively impact the Company's financial condition.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. Like all financial institutions, the Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to provide for loan defaults and non-performance, but its allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan and lease losses. In addition, future provisions for loan and lease losses could materially and adversely affect the Company and therefore the Company's operating results. The Company's allowance for loan and lease losses is based on prior experience, as well as an evaluation of the risks in the current portfolio. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating and other conditions, including changes in interest rates that may be beyond the Company's control, and these losses may exceed current estimates. Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review the Company's loans and allowance for loan and lease losses. Although we believe that the Company's allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate to cover current losses, we cannot assure you that it will not further increase the allowance for loan and lease losses or that the regulators will not require it to increase this allowance. Either of these occurrences could materially and adversely affect the Company's earnings.
Environmental Liabilities. In the course of our business, we may foreclose and take title to real estate, and could be subject to environmental liabilities with respect to these properties. We may be held liable to a governmental entity
or third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation and clean-up costs incurred by these parties in connection with environmental contamination, or may be required to investigate or clean up hazardous or toxic substances, or chemical releases at a property. The costs associated with investigations or remediation activities could be substantial. In addition, as the owner or former owner of a contaminated site, we could become subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the property. If we ever become subject to significant environmental liabilities, our business prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and stock price could be materially and adversely affected.
Dilution of Common Stock. Shares of the Company's common stock eligible for future sale could have a dilutive effect on the market for common stock and could adversely affect the market price. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company authorize the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 2,700,322 were outstanding at December 31, 2005. Pursuant to its 1997 and 2002 Stock Option Plans, at December 31, 2005, the Company had outstanding options to purchase 223,638 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2005, 125,359 shares of common stock remained available for grants under the 2002 Stock Option Plan. Sales of substantial amounts of the Company's common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of common stock.
Operating Losses. The Company is subject to certain operations risks, including, but not limited to, data processing system failures and errors and customer or employee fraud. The Company maintains a system of internal controls to mitigate against such occurrences and maintains insurance coverage for such risks, but should such an event occur that is not prevented or detected by the Company's internal controls, uninsured or in excess of applicable insurance limits, it could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
Business Confidence Uncertainty. The terrorist actions on September 11, 2001, and thereafter, plus military actions taken by the United States in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere, have had significant adverse effects upon the United States economy. Whether terrorist activities in the future and the actions taken by the United States and its allies in combating terrorism on a worldwide basis will adversely impact the Company, and the extent of such impact, is uncertain. However, such events have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on the economy in the Company's market areas. Such continued economic deterioration could adversely affect the Company's future results of operations by, among other matters, reducing the demand for loans and the amounts required to be reserved for loan losses, reducing the value of collateral held as security for the Company's loans, and causing a decline in the Company's stock price.

Forward-Looking Statements: Certain matters discussed or incorporated
by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K including, but not limited to,
matters described in "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," are "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such forward-looking
statements may contain words related to future projections including, but not
limited to, words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "may,"
"will," "should," "could," "would," and variations of those words and similar
words that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to,
the following: (1) variances in the actual versus projected growth in assets;
(2) return on assets; (3) loan and lease losses; (4) expenses; (5) changes in
the interest rate environment including interest rates charged on loans, earned
on securities investments and paid on deposits; (6) competition effects; (7) fee
and other noninterest income earned; (8) general economic conditions nationally,
regionally, and in the operating market areas of the Company and its
subsidiaries; (9) changes in the regulatory environment; (10) changes in
business conditions and inflation; (11) changes in securities markets; (12) data
processing problems; (13) a decline in real estate values in the Company's
operating market areas; (14) the effects of terrorism, the threat of terrorism
or the impact of the current military conflict in Iraq and the conduct of the
war on terrorism by the United States and its allies, as well as other factors.
The factors set forth under "Item 1A - Risk Factors" in this report and other
cautionary statements and information set forth in this report should be read
carefully considered and understood as being applicable to all related
forward-looking statements contained in this report when evaluating the business
prospects of the Company and its subsidiary.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. By their nature, they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results and shareholder values in the future may differ significantly from those expressed in forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. Any such statement speaks only as of the date of the report, and in the case of any documents that may be incorporated by reference, as of the date of those documents. We do not undertake any obligation to update or release any revisions to any forward-looking statements, or to report any new information, future event or other circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. However, your attention is directed to any further disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K.
Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to its loans and allowance for loan losses. The Company bases its estimates on current market conditions, historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policy requires significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is periodically evaluated for adequacy by management. Factors considered include the Company's loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, current economic conditions, known adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, regulatory policies, and the estimated value of underlying collateral. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the above factors along with prevailing and anticipated economic conditions that may impact borrowers' ability to repay loans. Determination of the allowance is in part objective and in part a subjective judgment by management given the information it currently has in its possession. Adverse changes in any of these factors or the discovery of new adverse information could result in higher charge-offs and loan loss provisions.
On December 12, 2003, AICPA issued Statement of Position 03-3 which addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor's initial investment in loans or debt securities (loans) acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. It includes loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination acquired by completion of a transfer, including such loans acquired in purchase business combinations. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The Company is prospectively adopting SOP 03-03 effective for loans acquired beginning January 1, 2005.
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB No. 25. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments using a fair-value method, and record such expense in its financial statements, for annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The revised Statement eliminates an entity's ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method of accounting in APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, which was permitted under Statement 123, as originally issued. In addition, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will require additional accounting related to the income tax effects and additional disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. This accounting change is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Net earnings in 2005 were $5,728,000, a 22.2% increase from 2004 earnings of $4,688,000. Earnings for the year 2004 increased $547,000 or 13.2% from year 2003 earnings of $4,141,000. The principal source of earnings is interest income on loans. In the year 2003, the prime lending rate started at 4.25%, and ended at 4.00%. In 2004, the rate rose from 4.00% to 5.25%. The year 2005 started at 5.25%, and rose eight times, ending at 7.25%.
Basic earnings per share were $2.12 in 2005; $1.71 in 2004 and $1.48 in 2003. Diluted earnings per share were $2.08 in 2005; $1.67 in 2004; and $1.47 in 2003.

The yield on interest earning assets increased 68 basis points in 2005 compared to 2004. The yield on interest earning assets declined 28 basis points in 2004 compared to 2003. The principal earning assets were loans, and their average increased $43,822,000 in 2005 versus 2004, while their yield increased 72 basis points. Average loans were $319,577,000 in 2004, an increase of $23,250,000 over 2003, while their yield declined 11 basis points.
Interest expense for 2005 was $5,533,000 and $2,533,000 in 2004, an increase of $3,000,000 or 118.4%. Interest expense was $2,533,000 in 2004, a decrease of $125,000 compared to 2003, or 4.7%. Average interest bearing liabilities were $353,857,000 in 2005, and $295,062,000 in 2004, an increase of $58,795,000 or 19.9%. They were $295,062,000 in 2004, and $264,905,000 in 2003, an increase of $30,157,000 or 11.4%. The cost of these liabilities increased 70 basis points in 2005 compared to 2004, and declined 14 basis points in 2004 compared to 2003. The principal cost was in time deposits, which increased 97 basis points in 2005 compared to 2004, but decreased 38 basis points in 2004 compared to 2003.
Net interest income is the difference between interest yield generated by earning assets and the interest expense associated with the funding of those assets. Net interest income is affected by the interest rate earned or paid and by volume changes in loans, investment securities, deposits and borrowed funds.

Interest income is reflected on an actual basis, not on a fully taxable equivalent basis. Yields on gross loans were not adjusted for nonaccrual loans, as these were considered not material for this calculation.
The following table analyzes the dollar amount of change in interest income and expense and the changes in dollar amounts attributable to (a) changes in volume (changes in volume at the current year rate), (b) changes in rate (changes in rate times the prior year's volume) and (c) changes in rate/volume (changes in rate times changes in volume). In this table, the dollar change in rate/volume is prorated to volume and rate proportionately.

In 2005, net interest income represented 86.77% of net revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income), compared to 85.28% in 2004 and 75.16% in 2003. The net interest margin on average earning assets was 5.27% in 2005 compared to 5.14% in 2004 and 5.33% in 2003. The average rate earned on interest earning assets was 6.43% in 2005, up from 5.75% in 2004, and 6.03% in 2003. The average cost for interest-bearing liabilities was 1.56% in 2005, compared to 0.86% in 2004 and 1.00% in 2003. The net effect of the above changes resulted in a 13 basis point increase in net interest margin for 2005.
As mentioned before under the heading "Earnings Analysis", there were declines in the prime lending rate during 2003, finally followed by increases in 2004 and 2005, as a result of action by the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve, which affected interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest on average total interest earning assets was 6.43% in 2005, 5.75% in 2004 and 6.03% in 2003. On the expense side, interest on average interest bearing demand deposits was 0.29% in 2005, an increase from 0.20% in 2004 and 2003 . Interest on average money market accounts was 1.71% in 2005, increasing from 0.87% in 2004, and 0.86% in 2003. Interest on average savings accounts was 0.31% in 2005, an increase from 0.27% in 2004, but decreasing from 0.33% in 2003. Interest on average time deposits was 2.58% in 2005, an increase from 1.61% in 2004 and 1.99% in 2003. Interest on average federal funds purchased and other borrowings was 3.03% in 2005, an increase from 2.26% in 2004 and 1.15% in 2003. Interest on average total interest bearing liabilities was 1.56% in 2005, an increase from 0.86% in 2004 and 1.00% in 2003.
The Bank has the responsibility of assessing the overall risks in its loan portfolio, assessing the specific loss expectancy, and determining the adequacy of the loan loss reserve. The level of reserves is determined by internally generating credit quality ratings, reviewing economic conditions in the Bank's market area, and considering the Bank's historical loan loss experience. The Bank is committed to maintaining adequate reserves, identifying credit weaknesses by consistent review of loans, and maintaining the ratings and changing those ratings in a timely manner as circumstances change.
Real estate loans outstanding increased by $47,380,000 in 2005 compared to 2004. They increased by $40,845,000 in 2004 compared to 2003. The proportion of the Allowance for Loan Losses attributable to real estate loans was $3,373,000 in 2005 compared to $1,589,000 in 2004 and $1,428,000 in 2003. As a percentage of total loans, the amount allocated to these loans was 78.5% in 2005,73.9% in 2004, and 67.5% in 2003.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $4,547,000, $3,334,000 and $3,284,000 at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This represented 1.18%, 0.97% and 1.04% of outstanding loans on those respective dates. The balances reflect an amount that, in management's judgment, is adequate to provide for probable loan losses based on the considerations listed above. During 2005, the provision for loan losses was $600,000, while write-offs were $110,000. In 2004, the provision for loan losses was $480,000, while write-offs totaled $431,000.

Table 4 summarizes transactions in the allowance for loan losses and details the charge-offs, recoveries and net loan losses by loan category for each of the last five fiscal years ended December 31, 2005. The amount added to the provision and charged to operating expenses for each period is based on the risk profile of the loan portfolio.
Charge-offs between 2001 and 2002 were very low. However, there were partial charge-offs for two loans secured by office buildings for $200,000 and $539,000 respectively in 2003, which, when taken into consideration in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, resulted in an increase in the provision for probable loan losses to $780,000 in 2003.

Non-performing assets consist of nonaccrual loans, foreclosed assets, and loans that are 90 days or more past due but are still accruing interest. The accrual of interest on non-accrual loans is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. For the year ended December 31, 2005, had non-accrual loans performed as agreed, approximately $2,000 in interest would have been accrued.
At December 31, 2005, nonaccrual loans totaled only $17,000. At December 31, 2004, nonaccrual loans totaled $2,798,000, of which a loan secured by an office building located in the Silicon Valley community of Mountain View, represented $2,679,000. During 2005, this loan was foreclosed and is currently classified as Other Real Estate Owned, with a balance of $2,600,000.
Table 5 provides a summary of contractually past due loans for the most recent five years. Nonperforming loans were less than 0.01% of total loans at December 31, 2005, compared to 0.8% of total loans at the end of 2004. Nonperforming loans were 2.9% of total loans at the end of 2003. Management believes the current list of past due loans are collectible and does not anticipate significant losses. There were no foreclosed assets as of the periods indicated.

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $3,841,000 compared to $3,787,000 for 2004 and $4,021,000 for 2003. Service charges and credit card fees represented the major portion of noninterest income. In October of 2002, service charges per incident, in general, were increased, including charges for insufficient funds. Since the increase, fewer waivers have been allowed. The increase in these charges discouraged those customers in the habit of using insufficient funds, and other service charge originating activities also declined. In 2005 and 2004, the Bank recognized impairment charges of $116,000 and $27,000, respectively, representing the other than temporary impaired value of one security investment. The principal source of Other Income was Tax Free Income on Officers' Life Insurance, which was $310,000, $269,000 and $148,000 in the years 2005, 2004 and 2003, which reflected an increased investment in this insurance.

Investments at December 31, 2005 were $113,463,000, an increase of $10,640,000 or 10.3% over 2004. Investments at December 31, 2004 were $102,823,000, an increase of $39,131,000 or 61.4% over 2003. The increase in investments in 2005 was funded by increases in total deposits.
Available funds are first used for Loans, then Investments, and the remainder is sold as Federal Funds. The primary source of funds is the deposit base. If more funds are needed, the Investment Portfolio maturity may be used, as well as sales and calls, which accounts for the volume variances in Investments. The Bank's investment portfolio is concentrated in U. S. Government Agencies and in obligations of States and their political subdivisions. The Bank believes this provides for an appropriate liquidity level.

The increase in earning assets in 2005 was funded by the increase in the deposit base. During 2005, average deposits were $467,121,000, an increase of $67,537,000 or 16.9% over 2004. In 2004, average deposits were $399,584,000 an increase of $42,244,000 or 11.8% over 2003.. In 2005, average interest-bearing deposits were $350,790,000, an increase of $58,964,000 or 20.2%
over 2004. In 2004, average interest-bearing deposits were $291,826,000, an increase of $27,095,000 or 10.2% compared to 2003.
The series of declines in the prime rate during 2003 without any increases in the same period resulted in decreased costs of all types of interest-bearing deposits in that period. The prime lending rate rose from 4% at the beginning of 2004 to 7.25% at the end of 2005. Time deposits lagged the prime rate changes because their rates changed only as certificates matured or new certificates were issued. Thus, interest-bearing demand costs averaged 0.3% in 2005, and 0.2% in 2004 and 2003. Money market deposit costs averaged 1.7% in 2005, and 0.9% in 2004 and 2003. Savings rates averaged 0.3% in 2005, 2004 and 2003. Finally, average interest on time certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more was 2.7% in 2005, 1.5% in 2004 and 1.7% in 2003. On certificates under $100,000, average rates were 2.5% in 2005, 1.7% in 2004 and 2.2% in 2003.

At December 31, 2005, shareholders' equity of the Company was $55,243,000, an increase of $2,614,000 or 5.0%; at December 31, 2004 shareholders' equity was $52,629,000, an increase of $642,000 or 1.2% over 2003. The increases were primarily attributable to retention of net income after payment of cash dividends of $1,542,000 in 2005, $1,526,000 in 2004, and $1,475,000 in 2003.
In 1989, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) established risk-based capital guidelines requiring banks to maintain certain ratios of "qualifying capital" to "risk-weighted assets". Under the guidelines, qualifying capital is classified into two tiers, referred to as Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. Currently, the Company's Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders' equity, though other instruments such as certain types of preferred stock can also be included in Tier 1 capital. Tier 2 capital consists of eligible reserves for possible loan losses and qualifying subordinated notes and debentures. Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 plus Tier 2 capital. Risk-weighted assets are calculated by applying risk percentages specified by the FDIC to categories of both balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet obligations.
At year-end 1990, the FDIC also adopted a leverage ratio requirement. This ratio supplements the risk-based capital ratios and is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average assets during the reporting period. The requirement established a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0% for the highest rated banks and ratios of 100 to 200 basis points higher for most banks. Furthermore, in 1993, the FDIC began assessing risk-based deposit insurance assessments based on financial institutions' capital resources and "management strength", as mandated by the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991. To qualify for the lowest insurance premiums as indicated in the following table, "well-capitalized" financial institutions must maintain risk-based Tier 1 and total capital ratios of at least 6.0% and 10.0% respectively. "Well-capitalized financial institutions must also maintain a leverage ratio equal to or exceeding 5.0%.
The following table shows the risk-based capital ratios and the leverage ratios at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 for the Bank.

The Company's primary source of liquidity on a stand-alone basis is dividends from the Bank. The payment of dividends by the Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions. Liquidity is a measure of the Company's ability to convert assets into cash with minimum loss. Liquidity consists of cash and due from other banks accounts, including time deposits, Federal Funds sold, and Securities Available-for-Sale . The Company's policy is to maintain a liquidity ratio of 20% or greater of total assets. As of December 31, 2005, the Company's primary liquidity was 26.14% compared to 24.47% in 2004 and 21.97% in 2003. The ratio increased due to increases in Total Liquid Assets, which were $148,761,000 in 2005, $119,907,000 in 2004 and $94,336,000 in 2003. The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that the Company has funds available to meet all present and future financial obligations and to take advantage of business opportunities as they occur. Financial obligations arise from withdrawals of deposits, repayment on maturity of purchased funds, extension of loans or other forms of credit, payment of operating expenses and payments of dividends.
Core deposits, which consist of all deposits other than time deposits, have provided the Company with a sizable source of relatively stable low-cost funds. The Company's average core deposits funded 64.8% of average total assets of $529,741,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005; funded 67.4% of average total assets of $461,091,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004, and funded 64.4% of average total assets of $414,409,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had contractual obligations and other commercial commitments totaling approximately $99,204,000. The following table sets forth the Company's contractual obligations and other commercial commitments as of December 31, 2005. These obligations and commitments will be funded primarily by loan repayments and the Company's liquidity sources, such as cash and due from other banks, federal funds sold, securities available for sale, as well as time deposits.

The largest component of the Company's earnings is net interest income, which can fluctuate widely when significant interest rate movements occur. The prime lending rate went from 4.25% at the beginning of 2003 to 5.25% at the end of 2004, and 7.25% at the end of 2005. The Company's management is responsible for minimizing the Bank's exposure to interest rate risk and assuring an adequate level of liquidity. This is accomplished by developing objectives, goals and strategies designed to enhance profitability and performance. Ongoing management of the Company's interest rate sensitivity limits interest rate risk by controlling the mix and maturity of assets and liabilities. Management regularly reviews the Company's position and evaluates alternative sources and uses of funds as well as changes in external factors. Various methods are used to achieve and maintain the desired rate sensitivity position including the sale or purchase of assets and product pricing.
In order to ensure that sufficient funds are available for loan growth and deposit withdrawals, as well as to provide for general needs, the Company must maintain an adequate level of liquidity. Asset liquidity comes from the Company's ability to convert short-term investments into cash and from the maturity and repayment of loans and investment securities. Liability liquidity is provided by the Company's ability to attract deposits. The primary source of liability liquidity is the Bank's customer base, which provides core deposit growth. The overall liquidity position of the Company is closely monitored and evaluated regularly. The Company has federal fund borrowing facilities for a total of $50,000,000, a Federal Home Loan Bank line of up to 25% of total assets, and a Federal Reserve Bank facility. Management believes the Company's liquidity sources at December 31, 2005 are adequate to meet its operating needs in 2006 and into the foreseeable future.
The results of operations and financial conditions presented in this report are based on historical cost information and are not adjusted for the effects of inflation.
Since the assets and liabilities of banks are primarily monetary in nature (payable in fixed, determinable amounts), the performance of the Company is affected more by changes in interest rates than by inflation. Interest rates generally increase as the rate of inflation increases, but the magnitude of the change in rates may not be the same.
The effect of inflation on banks is normally not as significant as its influence on those businesses that have large investments in plant and inventories. During periods of high inflation, there are normally corresponding increases in the money supply, and banks will normally experience above average growth in assets, loans and deposits. Also, increases in the price of goods and services will result in increased operating expenses.
The following table includes key ratios, including returns on average assets and equity.

Closely related to the concept of liquidity is the concept of interest rate sensitivity (i. e., the extent to which assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates). Interest rate sensitivity is often measured by the extent to which mismatches or "gaps" occur in the repricing of assets and liabilities within a given time period. Gap analysis is used to quantify such mismatches. A "positive" gap results when the amount of earning assets repricing within a given time period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities repricing within that time period. A "negative" gap results when the amount of interest-bearing liabilities repricing within a given time period exceeds the amount of earning assets repricing within such time period.
In general, a financial institution with a positive gap in relevant time periods will benefit from an increase in market interest rates and will experience erosion in net interest income if such rates fall. Likewise, a financial institution with a negative gap in relevant time periods will normally benefit from a decrease in market interest rates and will be adversely affected by an increase in rates. By maintaining a balanced interest rate sensitivity position, where interest rate sensitive assets roughly equal interest sensitive liabilities in relevant time periods, interest rate risk can be limited.
As a financial institution, the Company's potential interest rate volatility is a primary component of its market risk. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company's assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets, other than those that possess a short-term maturity. Based upon the nature of the Company's operations, the Company is not subject to foreign currency or commodity price risk. The Company does not own any trading assets and does not have any hedging transactions in place, such as interest rate swaps and caps.
The Company's Board of Directors has adopted an Asset/Liability policy designed to stabilize net interest income and preserve capital over a broad range of interest rate movements. This policy outlines guidelines and ratios dealing with, among others, liquidity, volatile liability dependence, investment portfolio composition, loan portfolio composition, loan-to-deposit ratio and gap analysis ratio. The Board of Directors monitors the Company's performance as compared to Asset/Liability Policy. In addition, to effectively administer the Asset/Liability Policy and to monitor exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, the Company maintains an Asset/Liability Committee, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Lending Officer, Branch Administrator, and Controller. This committee meets monthly to review the Company's lending and deposit-gathering activities, to review competitive interest rates, to develop strategies to implement the Asset/Liability Policy and to respond to market conditions.
The Company monitors and controls interest rate risk through a variety of techniques, including use of traditional interest rate sensitivity analysis (also known as "gap analysis") and an interest rate risk management model. With the interest rate risk management model, the Company projects future net
interest income, and then estimates the effect of various changes in interest rates and balance sheet growth rates on that projected net interest income. The Company also uses the interest rate risk management model to calculate the change in net portfolio value over a range of interest rate change scenarios. Traditional gap analysis involves arranging the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by repricing periods and then computing the difference (or "interest rate sensitivity gap") between the assets and liabilities that are estimated to reprice during each time period and cumulatively through the end of each time period.
Both interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis are done at a specific point in time and involve a variety of significant estimates and assumptions. Interest rate sensitivity modeling requires, among other things, estimates of how much and when yields and costs on individual categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities will respond to general changes in market rates, future cash flows and discount rates.
Gap analysis requires estimates as to when individual categories of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice, and assumes that assets and liabilities assigned to the same repricing period will reprice at the same time and in the same amount. Gap analysis does not account for the fact that repricing of assets and liabilities is discretionary and subject to competitive and other pressures.
The following table sets forth the estimated maturity/repricing structure of the Company's interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2005. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets or liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the contractual terms of each asset or liability. The majority of interest-bearing demand deposits and savings deposits are assumed to be "core" deposits, or deposits that will remain at the Company regardless of market interest rates. The table does not assume any prepayment of fixed-rate loans.

Changes in estimates and assumptions made for interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis could have a significant impact on projected results and conclusions. Therefore, these techniques may not accurately reflect the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company's net interest income or net portfolio value.
Because of the limitations in the gap analysis discussed above, members of the Company's Asset/Liability Management Committee believe that the interest sensitivity modeling more accurately reflects the effects and exposure to changes in interest rates. Net interest income simulation considers the relative sensitivities of the balance sheet, including the effect of interest rate caps on adjustable rate mortgages and the relatively stable aspects of core deposits. As such, net interest income simulation is designed to address the probability of interest rate changes and behavioral response of the balance sheet to those changes. Market Value of Portfolio Equity represents the fair value of the net present value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items. The starting point (or "base case") for the following table is the Company's net portfolio at December 31, 2005, using current discount rates, and an estimate of net interest income for 2005 assuming that both interest rates and the Company's interest-sensitive assets and liabilities remain at December 31, 2005 levels. The "rate shock" information in the table shows estimates of net portfolio value
at December 31, 2005 and net interest income for 2005 assuming fluctuations or "rate shocks" of minus 100 and 200 basis points and plus 100 and 200 basis points. Rate shocks assume that current interest rates change immediately. The information set forth in the following table is based on significant estimates and assumptions, and constitutes a forward-looking statement within the meaning of that term set forth in Rule 173 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 3-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
(1) The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
FNB Bancorp (the Company) is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on February 28, 2001. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FNB Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, First National Bank of Northern California (the Bank). The Bank provides traditional banking services in San Mateo and San Francisco counties.
The Bank and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 1, 2001 (the Plan of Reorganization), and the shareholders of the Bank approved the Plan of Reorganization at a Special Meeting of the Shareholders of the Bank held on February 27, 2002. The Plan of Reorganization was consummated on March 15, 2002. Each outstanding share of the common stock, par value $1.25 per share, of the Bank (other than any shares as to which dissenters' rights of appraisal have been properly exercised) was converted into one share of the no par common stock of the Company, and the former holders of Bank common stock became the holders of all of the Company common stock. The change in capital structure has been included for all periods presented.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For the Bank, the significant accounting estimate is the allowance for loan losses (note 1f). A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
(a) Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
FNB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. The cash equivalents are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and present insignificant risk of changes in value due to original maturity dates of 90 days or less. Included in cash and cash equivalents are amounts restricted for the Federal Reserve requirement of approximately $2,358,000 and $1,087,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(c) Investment Securities
Investment securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, obligations of U.S. corporations, mortgage-backed securities and other securities. At the time of purchase of a security, the Company designates the security as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale, based on its investment objectives, operational needs, and intent to hold. The Company does not purchase securities with the intent to engage in trading activity. Held to maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. The Company did not have any investments in the held-to-maturity portfolio at December 31, 2005 or 2004. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized holding gains or losses, net of the related tax effect, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.
A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to earnings and the corresponding establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on debt securities are included in interest income over the life of the related held-to-maturity or available-for-sale security using the effective interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.
(d) Derivatives
All derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet
FNB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
and measured at fair value. The Company did not hold any derivatives at December 31, 2005 and 2004.
(e) Loans
Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and the allowance for loan losses. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. For a loan that has been restructured, the contractual terms of the loan agreement refer to the contractual terms specified by the original loan agreement, not the contractual terms specified by the restructuring agreement. An impaired loan is measured based upon the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate, the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Interest on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis. If the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, an impairment is recognized by a charge to the allowance for loan losses.
Unearned discount on installment loans is recognized as income over the terms of the loans by the interest method. Interest on other loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on the daily balance of the principal amount outstanding.
Loan fees net of certain direct costs of origination, which represent an adjustment to interest yield, are deferred and amortized over the contractual term of the loan using the interest method.
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full and timely collection of interest or principal when a loan becomes contractually past due by 90 days or more with respect to interest or principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Restructured loans are loans on which concessions in terms have
FNB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
been granted because of the borrowers' financial difficulties. Interest is generally accrued on such loans in accordance with the new terms. Net amount written off in 2005 was not considered material (see Allowance for Loan Losses caption on page 34 in the Management Discussion and Analysis section).
(f) Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged off against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in existing loans, standby letters of credit, overdrafts, and commitments to extend credit based on evaluations of collectibility and prior loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall portfolio quality, loan concentrations, specific problem loans, commitments, and current and anticipated economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. While management uses these evaluations to determine the level of the allowance for loan losses, future provisions may be necessary based on changes in the factors used in the evaluations.
Material estimates relating to the determination of the allowance for loan losses are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, the banking regulators, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. The banking regulators may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.
(g) Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated service lives of related assets ranging from 2 to 25 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
(h) Cash Dividends
The Company's ability to pay cash dividends is subject to restrictions set forth in the California General Corporation Law. Funds for payment of any cash dividends by the Company would be obtained from its investments as well as dividends and/or management fees from First National Bank. First National Bank's ability to pay cash dividends is subject to restrictions imposed under the National Bank Act and regulations promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
(i) Stock Dividend
On October 28, 2005, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a stock dividend of approximately 128,341 shares, payable at the rate of one share of Common Stock for every twenty (20) shares of Common Stock owned. The stock dividend was paid on December 16, 2005, to shareholders of record on November 30, 2005. The earnings per share data presented have been adjusted for this stock dividend.
(j) Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined using the assets and liabilities method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for tax consequences of temporary differences by applying current tax rates to differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
(k) Stock Option Plan
Beginning in fiscal 2003, the Company elected to adopt the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Historically, the Company applied the intrinsic value method permitted under SFAS 123, as defined in APB 25 and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock incentive plans in the past.
FNB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

All future employee stock option grants and other stock- based compensation will be expensed over the vesting period, based on the fair value at the time the stock-based compensation is granted.
Had compensation cost related to the Company's stock option awards to employees and directors been determined under the fair value method prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income, basic earnings per share, and diluted earnings per share would have been the pro-forma amounts below, for 2005, 2004, and 2003:

(l) Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The notes to financial statements include various estimated fair value information as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. Such information, which pertains to the Company's financial instruments, does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the Company. Further, the fair value estimates are based on various assumptions, methodologies and subjective consideration, which vary widely among different financial institutions and which are subject to change.
(m) Income Tax Credits
At December 31, 2005, the Bank had a $1,445,000 equity investment in three partnerships, which own low-income affordable housing projects that generate tax benefits in the form of federal and state housing tax credits. As a limited partner investor in these partnerships, the Company receives tax benefits in the form of tax deductions from partnership operating losses and federal and state income tax credits. The federal and state income tax credits are earned over a 10-year period as a result of the investment properties meeting certain criteria and are subject to recapture for noncompliance with such criteria over a 15-year period. The expected benefit resulting from the low-income housing tax credits is recognized in the period for which the tax benefit is recognized in the Company's consolidated tax returns. These investments are accounted for using the effective yield method and are recorded in other assets on the balance sheet. Under the effective yield method, the Company recognizes tax credits as they are allocated and amortizes the initial cost of the investments to provide a constant effective yield over the period that tax credits are allocated to the Company. The effective yield is the internal rate of return on the investment, based on the cost of the investment and the guaranteed tax credits allocated to the Company. Any expected residual value of the investment was excluded from the effective yield calculation. Cash received from operations of the limited partnership or sale of the properties, if any, will be included in earnings when realized or realizable. These investments are included in other securities in securities available-for-sale.
(n) Reclassifications
Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

(o) Bank Owned Life Insurance
The Corporation purchased insurance on the lives of certain employees. The policies accumulate asset values to meet future liabilities including the payment of employee benefits such as the deferred compensation plan. Increases in the cash surrender value are recorded as other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. The cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance is reflected in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $7,011,000 and $6,773,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(p) Acquisition
On May 2, 2005, the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, First National Bank of Northern California, completed its acquisition of Sequoia National Bank, which had two offices in San Francisco. Sequoia was consolidated with and merged into First National Bank of Northern California effective April 30, 2005. Sequoia had approximately $62,000,000 in total assets on an historical cost basis. A table showing the fair values of the assets acquired follows this note. Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, holders of Sequoia shares of common stock and options received approximately $10,450,000 in cash, after adjustments for certain contingencies specified in the Acquisition Agreement. At closing of the transaction $9,350,000 was paid to the former Sequoia National Bank shareholders, and on November 1, 2005, after submission and payment of all such claims and expenses, the escrow was terminated and the approximately $1,100,000, the balance of funds remaining in escrow, was distributed to the former shareholders of Sequoia National Bank in accordance with their interests. Effective April 30, 2005, the former banking offices of Sequoia National Bank began operating as branch offices of First National Bank of Northern California.
In accordance with SFAS No. 141 the Bank recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values at the acquisition date. The total acquisition cost exceeded the fair value of the new assets acquired by $4,781,000. This amount was recognized at acquisition date as intangible assets consisting of Goodwill of $3,235,000, Loan Premium of $271,000 and Core Deposit Intangibles of $1,275,000. Goodwill has been adjusted for tax benefits of $1,394,000, net of deferred income tax liability of $525,000, related to Sequoia National Bank net operating losses that became available to the Company, the Core Deposit Intangibles, and the book reserve for possible loan losses. The tax benefits (Net deferred tax assets) are included in Other Assets, and the Loan Premium included in Net Loans in the table shown below.

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
In accordance with SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", goodwill will not be expensed over a fixed period of time, but will be tested for impairment at least annually. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets, namely core deposit intangibles and premium on loans, are amortized over their period of benefit. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the annual review of goodwill for impairment was performed, and it was determined that no adjustment was necessary. Additionally, the core deposit intangible and loan premium were evaluated for impairment at the end of each quarter, and no adjustments were determined to be necessary.
The following table shows earnings proforma of FNB Bancorp and its subsidiary combined with Sequoia National Bank as if the acquisition had taken place as of January 1, 2004:

A total of 48 securities make up the amount of securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 consecutive months. Management periodically evaluates each security in an unrealized loss position to determine if the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary. Management has determined that no investment security is other-than-temporarily impaired. The unrealized losses are due solely to interest rate changes and the Company has the ability and intent to hold all investment securities with identified impairments resulting from interest rate changes to the earliest of forecasted recovery or the maturity of the underlying investment security.
The amortized cost and carrying value of debt securities as of December 31, 2005, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

As of December 31, 2005, the Bank had no state tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes, as these were all used during 2005. Accordingly, there is no valuation allowance as of December 31, 2005. Additionally, management believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through recovery of taxes previously paid and/or future taxable income. The Bank had net operating loss carryforwards resulting from the acquisition of Sequoia National Bank which expire from December 31, 2007 through December 31, 2020, for a total balance of $3,998,568.
(13) Financial Instruments
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or through standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments and is usually limited to amounts funded or drawn. The contract or notional
FNB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, and 2004 and 2003
amounts of these agreements, which are not included in the balance sheets, are an indicator of the Bank's credit exposure. Commitments to extend credit generally carry variable interest rates and are subject to the same credit standards used in the lending process for on-balance-sheet instruments. Additionally, the Bank periodically reassesses the customer's creditworthiness through ongoing credit reviews. The Bank generally requires collateral or other security to support commitments to extend credit. The following table provides summary information on financial institutions whose contract amounts represent credit risk as of December 31:
2005 2004

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent
Credit risk:

------------ ------------
$ 97,701,000 83,078,000
============ ============
|
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial and residential properties.
Equity reserve and unused credit card lines are additional commitments to extend credit. Many of these customers are not expected to draw down their total lines of credit, and therefore, the total contract amount of these lines does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
FNB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
The Bank issues both financial and performance standby letters of credit. The financial standby letters of credit are primarily to guarantee payment to third parties. As of December 31, 2005, there were $7,488,000 issued in financial standby letters of credit. The performance standby letters of credit are typically issued to municipalities as specific performance bonds. As of December 31, 2005 there were $280,000 issued in performance standby letters of credit. The terms of the guarantees will expire in 2006. The Bank has experienced no draws on these letters of credit, and does not expect to in the future; however, should a triggering event occur, the Bank either has collateral in excess of the letters of credit or embedded agreements of recourse from the customer.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of financial instruments.
(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets fair values.
(b) Securities
Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
(c) Loans
Fair values for variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
(d) Off-Balance Sheet Commitments
Fair values for the company's off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit standing of the counterparties.
FNB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
(e) Deposit Liabilities
The fair values estimated for demand deposits (interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates for a schedule of the aggregate expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
(f) Federal Funds Sold/Purchased
The carrying amount of federal funds sold/purchased approximates their fair values.
(g) Bank Owned Life Insurance
The carrying amount is the cash surrender value for all policies.

The carrying amounts of loans include $17,000 and $2,798,000 of nonaccrual loans (loans that are not accruing interest) at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Management has determined that primarily because of the uncertainty of predicting an observable market interest rate, excessive amounts of time and money would be incurred to estimate the fair values of nonperforming loans. As such, these loans are recorded at their carrying amount in the estimated fair value columns. The following aggregate information is provided at December 31, about the contractual provisions of these loans:

(14) Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk
Most of the Bank's business activity is with customers located within San Mateo and San Francisco counties. Generally, the loans are secured by assets of the borrowers. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. The Bank does not have significant concentrations of loans to any one industry.
The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Commercial and standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers.
The contractual amounts of credit-related financial instruments such as commitments to extend credit, credit-card arrangements, and letters of credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be fully drawn upon, the customer default, and the value of any existing collateral become worthless.
(15) Regulatory matters
The Company, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's and the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2005, that the Company and the Bank have met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from the regulatory agencies categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's categories.

FNB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
dividends of common stock. Options currently outstanding become exercisable in one to five years from the grant date, based on a vesting schedule of 20% per year and expire 10 years after the grant date. The options exercise price is the fair value of the options at the grant date.
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the fair value method with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2005; dividend yield of 6.98% for the year; risk-free interest rate of 3.91%; expected volatility of 10%; expected life of 5.0 years; and weighted average fair value of $0.75. The assumptions used for grants in 2004; dividend yield of 6.85% for the year; risk-free interest rate of 3.73%; expected volatility of 10%; expected life of 5.0 years; and weighted average fair value of $0.76. The assumptions used for grants in 2003; dividend yield of 7% for the year; risk-free interest rate of 4.2%; expected volatility of 12%; expected life of 9.7 years; and weighted average fair value of $2.15.

(18) Recent Accounting Changes
On December 12, 2003, AICPA issued Statement of Position 03-3 which addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor's initial investment in loans or debt securities (loans) acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. It includes loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination acquired by completion of a transfer, including such loans acquired in purchase business combinations. SOP 03-3 is effective prospectively for loans acquired beginning January 1, 2005.
FNB BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB No. 25. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments using a fair-value method, and to record such expense in its financial statements, for annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The revised Statement eliminates an entity's ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method of accounting in APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which was permitted under Statement 123, as originally issued. In addition, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will require additional accounting related to the income tax effects and additional disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. This accounting change is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Exhibit 10.30
This lease {"Lease"), dated for reference purposes as of May 1, 2003, is made between The Mechanics' Institute, a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation ("Landlord") and Sequoia National Bank, a California Corporation ("Tenant"), who agree as follows:
1. PREMISES
1.1 General: Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord premises commonly known as 65 Post Street, San Francisco, California (the "Building"), consisting of approximate1y 2,826 square feet of street level area,approximately 1,322 square feet of basement area, and approximately 1,077 square feet of mezzanine area (plus that portion of the area under the skylight {"Mezzanine Skylight Area" also known as "Atrium w / SkI Inaccessib1e"} if Landlord elects to cover or repair such skylight, which it may do in its sole and absolute discretion), as delineated on the attached Exhibit A (the "Premises").
1.2 Acceptance of Premises: Tenant has examined the Premises fully and completely to determine the suitability of the Premises for Tenant's use. Tenant is fully informed of the condition of the Premises and Tenant agrees that the Premises (including without limitation the Mezzanine Skylight Area) are accepted on an "AS IS" basis. The taking of possession or use of the Premises by Tenant for any purpose shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in satisfactory condition and in conformity with the provisions of this Lease and all Laws (defined below) in all respects. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises or the Building except as specifically set forth in this Lease.
1.3 Construction of Tenant Improvements:
(a) Tenant shall exercise due di1l1gence in preparation of space plans, detailed construction plans, elevations of the facade, and paint schemes ("Tenant's Plans") for all improvements desired by Tenant or required for operation of Tenant's business, including without limitation all changes to the facade of the premises, construction of Automatic Teller Machines and exterior deposit boxes and all sidewalk improvements appurtenant thereto (the "Improvements"), and shall submit Tenant's Plans to Landlord for approval. Landlord shall have fifteen (15) business days from receipt of Tenants Plans in which to review and approve or disapprove them. If Landlord disapproves of Tenants Plans, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notification of the items of disapproval and Tenant shall modify Tenant's Plans accordingly. Landlord's approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall cause the Improvements to be designed and constructed in compliance with all applicable laws, building codes and regulations, including but not limited to all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations relating to the Landmark status o! the Building, the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Pub. L. No. 101-336, 104 Stat. 327), as amended, 42 U.S.C. ss.ss.12101 et seq., California Civil Code Sections 51 and 54.1, Title 24 of the California Administrative code, as amended,
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
including without limitation all of its access, and labor, energy and economy, requirements, and all statutes, rules and regulations supporting and supplementing the foregoing, any and all other laws, rules and regulations relating to the accessibility of the Premises to disabled persons, and all applicable federal, state and local building codes, energy conservation ordinances and inspection and permit requirements, and any and all rules, regulations and requirements promulgated thereunder or under any similar laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and orders (collectively, the "Laws"). Any requests by Tenant during the term of this Lease and any option periods and subsequent terms to alter, add to or remove Improvements, or to make subsequent improvements, or for change orders during construction(any and all of which shall be referred to herein as "Subsequent Alterations"), shall be governed by the forgoing. During construction, Tenant shall permit Landlords representatives access to the work in order to inspect the work for compliance with Tenant's Plans and all Laws. Such inspection shall not impose any liability or responsibility for the work on Landlord, it being understood and agreed that such inspection is solely for the protection of the interests of Landlord and not intended to confer any benefit or protection upon Tenant.
(b) Tenant assumes the sale responsibility and cost to design and construct all Tenant Improvements and Subsequent Alterations. All Tenant improvements and Subsequent Alterations shall be constructed in accordance with plans, specifications and other requirements agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant.
(c) On the Term Commencement Date, Landlord shall pay to Tenant Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00).
1.4 Lien and Completion Bond Requirements: In connection with the Improvements and any Subsequent Alterations, Landlord may require Tenant to provide Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such Improvements and Subsequent Alterations, to insure landlord against any liability for mechanics' and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the work, and this requirement shall be deemed a reasonable condition to Landlord's approval of Tenant's Plans, and to Landlord's approval of requests by Tenant to make Subsequent Alterations.
1.5 Conditions to Landlords Consent: If Landlord gives its consent to Tenant's Plans or to any Improvements or Subsequent Alterations, such consent shall be deemed conditioned upon (a) Tenant constructing all improvements and Subsequent Alterations in strict conformity with Tenant's Plans and all Laws (b) Tenant acquiring all necessary permits from appropriate government agencies, (c) the furnishing of copies of such permits to Landlord prior to commencement of work, and (d) the compliance by tenant with all conditions of said permits in a prompt and expeditious manner.
1.6 Removal of Improvements and Subsequent Alterations at Landlord's Election: As set forth in Section 7.1, all Improvements and Subsequent Alterations (excluding trade fixtures) will either remain on and be surrendered with the Premises on expiration or earlier termination of
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
the Lease, or be removed by Tenant prior to expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, at Landlord's election.
1.7 Notice to Landlord Prior to Commencement of Improvements or Alterations. No Improvements or Subsequent Alterations may be commenced until at least seven (7) days after Landlord has received notice from Tenant stating the date that design and construction of such Improvements or Subsequent Alterations are to commence, so that Land1ord can post and record an appropriate notice of non-responsibility.
2. TERM
2.1 General: The term of this Lease shall commence upon the date of delivery of the Premises to Tenant in their current "AS IS" condition ("Term Commencement Date"), which shall be May 1, 2003, and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Term Commencement Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any provision hereof.
2.2 [Intentionally blank.]
2.3 Option to Extend:
Provided that Tenant has not been in Default under this Lease for the twenty-four (24) months prior to its attempted exercise of either of its Options to Renew (defined below), Tenant shall have the right to extend the Original Term of the Lease for two (2) five-year terms (each, an "Option to Extend"). The "First Extended Term" shall commence on May 1, 2008 and expire on April 30, 2013, and the "Second Extended Term" shall commence on May 1, 2013 and expire on Apri130, 2018.Tenant's Option to Extend for the Second Extended Term is contingent on Tenant successfully exercising its Option to Extend for the First Extended Term.Tenant's occupancy and leasing of the Premises during both Extended Terms shall be governed by, and be upon the same terms, covenants, and conditions as are set forth in, this Lease. If Landlord does not receive from Tenant written notice of Tenant exercise of its Option to Extend by one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Original Term (in the case of Tenant's attempt to exercise its Option to Extend for the First Extended Term), or by one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the First Extended Term(in the case of Tenant's attempt to exercise its Option to Extend for the Second Extended Term) (the "Option Notices") then regardless of whether Tenant holds over or attempts to hold over, all of Tenant's rights under this Section 2.3 and under the Lease shall automatically terminate. Tenant Option Notices, if any, shall be deemed effective on personal delivery or overnight delivery, receipt confirmed, to Landlord. During the Extended Terms, if any, Landlord and Tenant shall be bound by all of the obligations, covenants, and agreements of this Lease except that Tenant shall have no right to further extend the Term of this Lease beyond or after expiration of the Second Extended Term.References throughout this Lease to the "Term" shall include both the Original Term and the Extended Terms, if any, unless otherwise indicated. Options to Extend contained herein are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, separate from or as a part of the Lease;
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
provided, however that if Tenant attempts to assign either or both of its
Options to Extend, such assignment shall not limit the liability of Tenant under
the Lease. Notwithstanding the timely giving of the Option Notice, if Tenant is
in Default of any provision of the Lease on the date of commencement of either
of the Extended Terms, at Landlord's election, all rights of Tenant under this
Section 2.3 shall terminate and be of no force or effect. Time is of the essence
as to all provisions of this Section 2.3.
3. RENT
3.1 Base Monthly Rent: Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Base Monthly Rent of ($12,250) per month. Such Base Monthly Rental shall be increased on each anniversary ("Rent Anniversary") of the Rent Commencement Date (defined below in Section 3.4), commencing with the first Rent Anniversary, in the same proportion that the Consumer Price Index figure (published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, all items for San Francisco-Oakland for the month of October prior to each Rent Anniversary) bears to the Consumer Price Index figure for the previous month of October (hereinafter "basic index figure"), provided however, that in no event shall the Base Monthly Rental adjustment for any year be less than a three percent (3%) annual increase nor more than a six percent (6%) annual increase ("Annual Increase"). If prior to the effective date of any Annual Increase the Bureau of Labor Statistics should revise or change the methods or basic data used in calculating the foregoing index, in such a way as to affect the direct comparability of such revised or changed index with the original index used herein, then the Bureau shall be requested to furnish a conversion factor designed to adjust the original index to the new basis. If the Consumer Price Index, as now constituted, compiled and published, shall cease to be compiled and published during the Term, then the Bureau of Labor Statistics shall be requested to furnish a statement converting the basic index figure to a figure that would be comparable in another index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and such other index shall be used in computing the Base Monthly Rental Annual Increase, subject to the same provisos. The term Base Monthly Rent as used herein shall include any and all Annual Increases.
3.2 Payment of Rent: Upon Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Ninety-Eight Thousand Dollars ($98,000), the total Base Monthly Rent from the Term Commencement Date through the end of 2003. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on January 1st of each subsequent calendar year during the Tern, the total amount of Base Monthly Rent due for the calendar year commencing that January 1st and ending on December 31st of that year.
3.3 Prorations: In the event that this Lease is terminated prior to the last day of its Term or any Extended Terms, Landlord shall return to Tenant the unused Base Monthly Rent or any portion thereof, prorated on the basis of a twelve (12) month year and a thirty (30) day month, after first deducting therefrom any amounts due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease or by law.
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
3.4 Commencement of Rent; Rent Prepayment: Tenant's obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent shall commence on May 1, 2003. ("Rent Commencement Date").
3.5 Security Deposit: Tenant shall pay to Landlord a security deposit in the amount of 0ne Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), to be held in a non-interest bearing account insured by the FDIC in the Landlord's name in the Tenant's Bank as security for the performance by Tenant of all the provisions of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a sum equal to the portion of the security deposit expended or applied by Landlord as provided in this Section to maintain the security deposit in the sum initially deposited with Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant may draw down the Security Deposit by no more than Forty thousand Dollars to pay for a portion or all (whichever is applicable) of Tenant's last five (5) months of Base Monthly Rent. Landlord's obligations with respect to the security deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. Landlord may use the deposit or any portion thereof, and may claim from the deposit such amounts as are reasonably necessary to remedy Tenant defaults of any kind including in the payment of rent, to repair damages to the Premises caused by Tenant, to compensate Landlord for damages sustained by reason of Tenant's default, to clean the Premises upon termination of the tenancy, and to comply with all of Tenant's obligations under Section 7.1, below to remove the basement vault, if Landlord so elects.. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this section 3.4, the security deposit is not applicable to the last month's rent unless Landlord elects in writing to so apply it.
If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the security deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days following expiration of the Lease Term. In the event of termination of Landlord's interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer said deposit to Landlord's successor in interest.
3.6 All Financial Obligations are Rent: All financial obligations of Tenant to Landlord under this lease including without limitation, the obligations of Sections 3 (in its entirety), 4.1, 4.2, 5, 7.1, 8, 9.1, 10, 12.1, 12.3, 12.5 and 12.6, are agreed to be obligations to pay rent hereunder, the breach of which will permit Landlord to exercise any or all remedies permitted for failure to pay rent under this Lease.
(a) All sums of money due to Landlord under this Lease and not specifically characterized as rent shall constitute additional rent and shall be due within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of a billing. If any sum is not paid when due, it shall be collectible as additional rent with the next installment of rent falling due. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed to suspend or delay the payment of any sum of money at the time it becomes due and payable under this lease, or to limit any other remedy of Landlord.
(b) Tenant acknowledges that late Payment of rent and other sums due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain. These costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any trust deed covering
the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sums due from
Tenant are not received when due, or if a cure period is applicable under
Section 15.1, prior to the expiration of the cure period, Tenant sha1l pay to
Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount. The
parties agree that the 1ate charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of
the costs Landlord will incur because of late payment. Acceptance of the late
charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default for the
overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising the other rights and
remedies granted under this Lease.
(c) Any amount due to Landlord, if not paid within five (5) days following the due date, will bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or, if this rate exceeds the highest rate then legally permitted, then at that highest legally permitted rate. However interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Tenant nor on any amounts on which late charges are paid by Tenant to the extent this interest would cause the total interest to be in excess of that legally permitted. Payment of interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant.
(d) An payments due shall be paid to Landlord, without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America, at Landlord's address for notices under this Lease, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may designate by written notice to Tenant.
4. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
4.1 Personal Property Taxes: Tenant will pay before delinquency all taxes, assessments, license fees, and other charges that are levied and assessed against Tenant's personal property in or on the Premises, including without limitation its trade fixtures, furnishings and equipment. When possible, Tenant shall cause said personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Landlord.
4.2 Real Property Taxes: Tenant will pay, as additional rent, Sixteen and Seven- Tenths Percent (16.7%) of all real property taxes and general and special assessments. ("Real Property Taxes") levied and assessed against the Premises, the Building, the land underlying the Building, any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the building and the land underlying the Building, and any portion of such Building, land or legal or interest, prorated during the first and last years of the Term so that Tenant pays only for those days actually within the Term, plus one hundred percent (100%) of all Real Property Taxes and general and special assessments, and one hundred percent (100%) of any increased Real Property Taxes in Lease years subsequent to the year in which such general or special assessments are made, which are caused by or attributable to Tenant's Improvements and any Subsequent Alterations to the Premises made by Tenant, all of which shall be considered "Tenant's Percentage Share" of Real Property Taxes. Periodically, Landlord will notify Tenant of the amount of Real Property Taxes and provide Tenant with a copy of the tax bill,
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
and Tenant will pay Tenant's Percentage Share to Landlord not later than ten
(10) days after the Landlord presents the Real Property Tax bill to the Tenant.
Landlord shall be obligated to pay all Real Property Taxes levied or assessed
against the Premises prior to the delinquency date thereof. For purposes of this
Section, Real Property Taxes means and includes all taxes and assessments
assessed, imposed or levied during any fiscal tax year which occurs wholly or
partially during the Term of this Lease, including taxes, assessments and
reassessments which are special, unforeseen, or extraordinary as well as those
which are regular, foreseen or ordinary, and including any transfer tax, license
or permit fee, commercial rental tax, utility tax, improvement bond or bonds,
levy or tax (other than inheritance or estate tax) imposed by any authority
having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, county, state,
or federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street,
drainage, transit, or other improvement district thereof. If any governmental
authority imposes, assesses, or levies a tax on rent or any other tax upon
Landlord as a substitute in whole or in part for any Real Property Tax or
assessment, the substitute tax shall be deemed to be an increase in Real
Property Tax and shall be deemed to have been levied and assessed against the
Premises, to the extent of the amount allocable thereto. The term Real Property
Tax shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment, or charge (i) in
substitution of or in addition to, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy,
assessment, or charge included in this Section in the definition of Real
Property Tax, (ii) the nature of which was included within the definition of
Real Property Tax, (iii) which is imposed by reason of this transaction, any
modifications or changes hereto, or any transfers hereof, including without
limitation those related to any loss of or change in Landlord's status as a
nonprofit public benefit corporation under the laws of the State of California,
or (iv) which is imposed directly, solely or partially as a result of any loss
of or change in Landlord's status as a nonprofit public benefit corporation
under the laws of the State of California. If Landlord is required to impound
Real Property Taxes on a periodic basis during the Term, Tenant will pay its
proportionate share of Real Property Taxes to Landlord in accordance with all
such requirements.
4.3 Tenant's Right to Contest Assessment: Tenant, at its expense, shall have the right at any time to seek a reduction in the assessed valuation of the Premises or Building, other improvements, and land of which the Premises are a part, or to contest any Real Property Taxes or assessments for improvement districts that are to be paid by Tenant, but shall pay Tenant's share of Real Property Taxes when due notwithstanding the pendency of any such actions.
Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceeding or contest brought by Tenant unless the provisions of any law require that the proceeding or contest be brought by or in the name of Landlord or any owner of the Premises. In that case Landlord shall join in the proceeding or contest or permit it to be brought in Landlord's name, but only insofar as, and for as long as, Landlord is not required to bear any costs or fees, including without limitation attorneys' costs or fees. Tenant, on final determination of the proceeding or contest, shall immediately pay or discharge its share of any Real Property Taxes determined by any decision or judgment rendered, together with all costs, charges, interest, and penalties incidental to the decision or judgment.

Tenant shall be solely responsible to pay, as additional rent, all of any
gross receipts taxes, assessment or other charges imposed upon it by any
governmental entity, all transfer taxes, assessments and other charges imposed
as a result of Tenant's transfer of its leasehold interest, and the following
items (collectively, "Impositions"): (i) taxes, other than local, state, and
federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the net income of
Landlord; (ii) assessments, including without limitation, all assessments for
public improvements, services, or benefits, irrespective of when commenced or
completed; (iii) excises; (iv) levies; (v) business taxes; (vi) license, permit,

or imposed by a public authority; provided, however, that Impositions shall not
include amounts otherwise included in Real Property Taxes. Tenant is obligated
to pay only to the extent that the Impositions are (a) on, measured by, or
reasonably attributed to, the cost or value of Tenant's equipment, furniture,
fixtures, and other personal property located in the Premises, or the cost or
value of any leasehold improvements made to the Premises by or for Tenant,
regardless of whether title to the improvements shall be in Tenant or Landlord;
(b) based on or measured by the monthly rental or other charges payable under
this Lease, including without limitation, any gross receipts tax levied by a
municipality, the State of California, the Federal Government, or any other
governmental body with respect to the receipt of the rental; (c) based on the
development, possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance,
alteration, repair, use, or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion
of the Premises; or (d) on this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a
party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises. If it
is unlawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for the Impositions, but lawful to
increase the monthly rental to take into account Landlord's payment of the
Impositions, the monthly rental payable to Landlord shall be revised to net
Landlord the same net return without reimbursement of the Impositions as would
have been received by Landlord with reimbursement of the Impositions.
6. USE AND LIMITATIONS ON USE.
6.1 Use: Tenant will use the premises for the operation of a first class banking institution. The Premises shall not be used for any other use without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant will comply with all applicable laws concerning the Premises and Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant is advised that portions of the Building are used as a library and for offices for other tenants, and will not use the Premises in any manner that will violate any law, covenant, condition or restriction affecting the Building or the certificate of occupancy for the Building, or constitute waste, nuisance, or unreasonable annoyance to other Tenants' uses of Building, including without limitations library users, and shall, upon notice from Landlord, immediately discontinue any use of the Premises which violates the provisions herein or is declared by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to be a violation of law or of the certificate of occupancy. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, rules, requirements and
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
directions of any governmental agencies or authorities having jurisdiction which shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant's use or occupancy impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or the Building, or either of their use or occupation, including without limitation the provisions of all Laws and the requirements of any board of fire insurance underwriters or other similar bodies now or hereafter: constituted, relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises. If any governmental license or permit shall be required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant's business or other activity carried on at the Premises or if a failure to procure such a license or permit might or would, in any way, affect Landlord, the Premises, or the ability of Tenant to operate its business, then Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall, at all times, obtain and comply with the requirements of each such license or permit. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord is a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.
6.2 Trade Name: Tenant agrees it will not conduct business at the Premises under the name of Sequoia National Bank, and shall not change the name of said business without Landlord's prior written consent. In the event that Tenant desires to change such name, Tenant will notify Landlord in writing of such proposed change, and Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its approval thereto.
7. MAINTENANCE
7.1 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, whether the same shall be the property of Tenant or Landlord, shall promptly repair and at all times maintain in good condition the entire Premises, including without limitation the entire interior of the Premises, the fixtures, equipment, electrical and plumbing fixtures and equipment, walls, ceilings, floors, HVAC equipment and ducts, utilities lines whether or not exposed, boilers, all doors and windows including without limitation Tenant's entry doors, communications lines and equipment, all painting and decorations of every kind, elevator inside the Premises (including all repairs, maintenance, licensing and replacement, if necessary), sidewalk adjacent to the Premises and any exterior alterations including but not limited to Automatic Teller Machines, deposit boxes, and Tenant shall promptly replace all broken or damaged glass, including glass and plate glass. If both Tenant's and Landlord's insurance covers a repair or any damage to be repaired, Tenant's insurance shall be primary and Landlord's insurance shall be secondary, and the fact that Landlord's insurance covers such repair or damage shall not impose any obligations upon Landlord not otherwise expressly agreed to in this Lease. Tenant shall make all repairs and replacements to the Premises expeditiously in a first class and workmanlike manner using high quality new materials, by hiring persons approved in advance by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
In the event that Tenant fails to make or commence the making of necessary repairs to the Premises as required under terms of this Lease, or should Tenant fail to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease, then after Tenant
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
receives ten (10) days prior written notice from Landlord, Landlord may enter and make such repairs at Tenant's expense, or may fulfill Tenant's obligations. If Landlord pays charges for repairs or services, or fulfills any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for said payment or costs upon presentation of bills or invoices for the necessary repairs and proof of payment or fulfillment thereof.
On the last day of the Term, or on any sooner termination, Tenants shall surrender the Premises and all improvements and Subsequent Alterations to Landlord in the same condition as they were when first completely installed, clean and free of debris, ordinary wear and tear excepted, unless Landlord elects to require Tenant to remove some or all of its Improvements or Subsequent Alternations, in which case Tenant shall, prior to such surrender, remove all or whichever of its Improvements as Landlord directs, and in addition, at Landlord's election, demolish and remove the entirety of the reinforced concrete vault in the basement, and repair all damage to the Premises or Building caused by such demolition and removal. Any damage or deterioration of the Premises shall not be deemed ordinary wear and tear if the same could have been prevented by good maintenance practices. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises occasioned by the installation or removal of Tenant's trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, Improvements or Subsequent Alterations.
7.2 Landlord's Obligations: Landlord, at it's so1e cost and expense, shall maintain and keep in good repair the structural components of the Building, including the structural components of load bearing and exterior walls, the structural components of the roof and foundation; the structural components of the subf1oor, and the Building sewer, electrical and water service; provided, however that the cost of any such repairs required as a result of the negligence or willful act of Tenant, its agents, suppliers, customers or employees, or as a result of any Improvements or Subsequent Alterations made by Tenant or its contractors, shall be borne by Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to make any and all additional repairs and alterations to the Building and the Premises at such times and in such a manner as it deems necessary or prudent. Landlord shall have no obligation it make repairs under this Section until a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from Tenant of the need for such repairs. Landlord shall not be liable for damages or loss of any kind or nature by reason of Landlord's making of any alterations or repairs, or by reason of Landlord's failure to furnish any services or to make any repairs when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockout, or other Jabot disturbances or disputes of any nature, or by any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Tenant expressly waives the benefit of California Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942, and all similar laws and regulations which would otherwise afford Tenant the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense or to terminate this Lease because of Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition, and repair.

All such utilities shall be separately metered and contracted for directly by Tenant, and Tenant hereby holds Landlord harmless from all costs and charges associated therewith. If any such costs or charges are not paid when due, Landlord may, but is not required to, pay such costs or charges, in which case Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord as additional rent under this Lease all amounts so paid by Landlord together with any other costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the handling of such payments, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. In the event that the Premises cannot be separately metered for any of the foregoing utilities or services, Tenant shall pay at Landlord's option either Tenant's pro rata share or a reasonable portion to be determined by Landlord of all charges jointly metered with other premises at the property. Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of (i) any utility service furnished to the Premises, or (ii) the heating, ventilating, or air conditioning system. No such failure or interruption shall entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or abate rent in whole or in part or to stop making any other payments due hereunder.
(b) Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish to Tenant any of the utilities or services described in this Section, and in addition shall have no obligation to furnish janitorial services or trash disposal services to the Premises.

If Landlord does not restore the Premises to a
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
tenantable condition within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the casualty, Tenant may terminate this Lease as Tenant's exclusive remedy. If Landlord elects to restore the Premises, Landlord will not be required to restore alterations made by Tenant, Tenant's improvements, Tenant's trade fixtures, or Tenant's personal property, such excluded items being the sole responsibility of Tenant to restore. If the destruction is less than one third (33 1/3J%) of the then replacement value, provided the damage is covered by insurance proceeds available to Landlord under Landlord's insurance policy, Landlord shall cause the damage to be repaired as reasonably economically and promptly as possible, reasonable allowance to be made for causes beyond Landlord's control. If destruction is less than on third (33 1/3%) of the then replacement value and is not covered by insurance proceeds available to the Landlord under Landlord's insurance policy, then Landlord at its sole election may either terminate this Lease or repair the destruction at Landlord's expense. If Landlord does not restore the Premises to a tenantable condition within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of the casualty, Tenant may terminate this Lease, as Tenant's exclusive remedy. During the period of any repairs to the Premises, rent shall abate proportionately to the extent of actual interference with Tenant's business, which extent shall be determined in Landlord's absolute discretion.
13.2 Waiver of Civil Code Sections: Tenant waives the provisions of Civil Code Section 1932(2) and Section 1933(4) with respect to any damage or destruction of the Premises.
13.3 Damage Near End of Term. If at any time during the last year of the Term there is substantial damage, as determined by Landlord in its absolute discretion, whether or not the loss occasioned by such damage is insured, Landlord may at Landlord's' option cancel and terminate this Lease by giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Tenant of Landlord's election to do so within sixty (60) days after the date of occurrence of such damage.
14. CONDEMNATION
If the Premises are totally taken by condemnation, this Lease will terminate on the date of taking. Either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease if fifty percent (50%) or more of the total number of square feet of the Premises is taken, or if, in Landlord's sole discretion, the remaining portion of the Building rendered unsuitable for Tenant's continued use of the Premises for the purposes permitted herein.
If either party elects to terminate this Lease as permitted herein, that party must exercise its right to do so by giving notice to the other party within ninety (90) days after the nature and extent of the taking have been finally determined. If a party elects to terminate this Lease as permitted herein, that party shall also notify the other party of the date of termination, which date shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the terminating party has notified the other party of its election to terminate; except that this Lease shall terminate on the date of taking if the date of taking falls on a date before the date of termination as designated by the terminating party. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease within the ninety (90) day period, this full force and effect, except that minimum monthly rent shall be reduced as set forth herein.
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
If any portion of the Premises is taken by condemnation and this Lease remains in full force and effect, on the date of taking the monthly rent shall be reduced by an amount that is in the same ratio to monthly rent as the total number of square feet in the Premises taken bears to the total number of square feet in the Premises immediately before the date of taking.
If there is a partial taking of the Premises and this Lease remains in full force and effect, Tenant shall, at its expense, restore, with due diligence, the remainder of the improvements occupied by Tenant so far as practicable to a complete unit bf like quality, character and condition as that which existed immediately prior to the taking.
Rent shall be abated or reduced during the period from the date of taking until the completion of restoration. The abatement or reduction of rent shall be based on the extent to which the restoration interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises.
Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain the entire award or compensation for the affected lands, Building and improvements of which the Premises are apart, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion thereof. This provision will not bar Tenant from seeking any compensation to which Tenant may be entitled directly from the condemning agency.
15. DEFAULT
15.1 Tenant's Default: The occurrence of any of the following will constitute an "Event of Default" by Tenant:
(a) Failure to pay any rent or any other financial obligation of Tenant under this Lease when due if not cured within ten (10) days after written notice of such failure to pay.
(b) Abandonment or vacation of the Premises (once Tenant's bank has opened for business, failure to occupy and operate Tenant's business in the Premises for thirty (30) consecutive business days will be4eemed an abandonment and vacation).
(c) Failure to perform any provision of this Lease other than a provision to pay rent or any other financial obligation, if not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice has been given to Tenant, provided that if the Tenant has commenced to cure within such thirty (30) day period and is diligently pursuing a cure, Tenant shall have an additional thirty (30) days to complete the cure.
(d) Failure to keep the Premises open for business during regular business hours for reasons other than force majeure.
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
(e) Appointment of a receiver by or for Tenant's business, or the assignment of all or substantial portion of Tenant's assets for the benefit of creditors, or any unauthorized assignment, encumbrance or sublease as described in Section .15.2 below.
15.2 Assignment and Subletting: Tenant will neither voluntarily nor involuntarily assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or sublease the Premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(a) Any of the previous acts without consent shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a noncurable default under this Lease. In connection with each consent requested by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing the terms of the proposed transaction, the identity of the parties to the transaction, the proposed documentation for the transaction, and all other information reasonably requested by Landlord concerning the proposed transaction and the parties involved.
(b) Without limiting other instances in which Landlord may reasonably withhold consent to an assignment or subletting, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold consent in any of the following instances:
(i) if at the time consent is requested or at any time prior to
the granting of consent, an Event of Default has occurred
under this Lease or if Tenant is in monetary default under
this Lease or would be in monetary default under this Lease
but for the pendency of any grace or cure period under
Section 15.1;
(ii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is a governmental agency;
(iii) if, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant would not be compatible to the use by other tenants in the Building, would entail alterations that would materially lessen the value of the Improvements or Subsequent Alterations in the Premises (unless Tenant provides adequate security to ensure that the Premises will be restored to their prior condition pursuant to Sections 1.5 and 7.1), would result in more than a reasonable number of occupants per floor, or would require substantially increased services by Landlord;
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
(iv) if Landlord reasonably determines that circumstances warrant a consideration of the financial worth of a proposed assignee or subtenant, and the financial worth, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, does not meet the credit standards applied by Landlord for other tenants under leases with comparable terms; or
(v) if, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the character, reputation, or business of the proposed assignee or subtenant is not consistent with the quality and character of the Building and the Post Street east of Mason Street area, or other comparably high-value location, of the San Francisco Union Square retail district.
The foregoing is not deemed to be an exhaustive statement of the standards to be applied and other commercially reasonable considerations may properly enter into Landlord's decision. Consent to any assignment or subletting shall not be deemed to release Tenant from any obligations under this Lease, all of which obligations shall continue as joint and several with the assignee or subtenant, and shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequently attempted assignment or subletting. The acceptance of a rental by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease.
Any assignment, encumbrance, or sublease without Landlord's written consent will be voidable and, at Landlord's election, will constitute a non-curable default and ground for termination of this Lease.
Except as permitted herein, voluntary assignment includes a transfer of fifty-one percent (51%) of the stock of Tenant (either in a single transaction or cumulatively in successive transactions), or change in ownership by Tenant in any form.
If Tenant requests Landlord to consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, Tenant will pay to Landlord, whether or not consent is ultimately given, Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in connection with each such request. As an alternative to approving any requested assignment or sublease, Landlord shall have the option upon receipt of a request from Tenant for approval of an assignment or sublease, to sublet the Premises or that portion proposed to be assigned or sublet from Tenant at the rental and other terms in Tenant's notice or, in the alternative, to cancel this Lease with respect to the portion or all of the Premises proposed to be assigned or subleased and to recover possession thereof for Landlord's use or lease to any party, including without limitation Tenant's proposed assignee or subtenant.
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
No interest of Tenant in this Lease will be assignable by operation of law. Each of the following acts without limitation will be considered an involuntary assignment and a breach of this Lease:
(a) Levy or writ of attachment or execution on this Lease;
(b) Appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Premises, which receiver is not dismissed within sixty (60) days.
(c) Dissolution or suspension of corporate good standing of Tenant.
An involuntary assignment will constitute a breach by Tenant and Landlord will have the right to elect to terminate this Lease, in which case this Lease will not be treated as an asset of Tenant.
16. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES
16.1 Cumulative Nature of Remedies: Landlord will have the remedies provided in this Section if Tenant commits a default or an event of Default occurs. These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law or equity.
16.2 Tenant's Right to Possession Not Terminated: Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4, to continue this Lease in full force and effect after Tenant's breach and abandonment and to recover rent as it becomes due, in light of the provisions of Section 15.2 of this Lease regarding Tenant's right to sublet or assign subject to Landlords' reasonable limitations, as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession, and in that case Landlord will have the right to collect rent and enforce other obligations when due. During the period Tenant is in default or an Event of Default has occurred and after expiration of the applicable cure period, Landlord may enter the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third parties for Tenant's account. Tenant will be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers' commissions, expenses of remodeling if remodeling is reasonably necessary to more promptly secure a replacement tenant in mitigation of Landlord's damages, and like costs.
Reletting maybe for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. Tenant will pay to Landlord the rent and other charges due under this Lease on the date the rent and other changes are due, less the rent Landlord receives for any reletting. No act by Landlord allowed by this Section will terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord expressly elects to terminate this Lease. After Tenant's default or an Event of Default and for as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, if Tenant obtains Landlord's written consent in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.2,
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
Tenant will have the right to assign or sublet its interest in this Lease in accordance with Section 15.2, but Tenant will not be released from any liability hereunder.
If Landlord elects to relet the Premises as provided in this Section, rent that Landlord receives from reletting will be applied to the payment of:
First, any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than rent and other charges due from Tenant;
Second, all costs, including maintenance, incurred by Landlord in reletting;
Third, rent and all other charges due and unpaid under this Lease.
After deducting the above payments, any sum remaining from the rent Landlord receives from reletting will be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as rent and all other charges become due under this Lease. In no event will Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord. If, on the date rent is due under this Lease, the rent received from the reletting is less than the rent due on the date, Tenant will pay to Landlord, in addition to the remaining rent due, all costs, including maintenance, Landlord incurs in reletting as provided in this Section.
16.3 Termination of Tenant's Right to Possession: Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises at any time after Tenant's default or an Event of Default and after expiration of the applicable cure period. No act by Landlord other than giving express written notice of termination to Tenant will terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease will not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to" possession or obligation to pay rent. On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant:
(a) The worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease;
(b) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of the award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(c) The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid rent or the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)
(d) Any other amount, including reasonable attorneys' and/or experts' fees and expenses and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's default and the Event of Default.
"The worth, at the time of the award," as used in subsections (a) and (b) above, will be computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate an individual is permitted by law to charge. "The worth, at the time of the award," as referred to in (c) above, will be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one percent (1 %).
16.4 Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default: Landlord, at any time after Tenant commits a default, may (but is under no obligation to) cure the default at Tenant's expense. If Landlord at any time, by reason of Tenant's default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Landlord will be due immediately from Tenant to Landlord at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date will bear interest at the maximum rate an individual is permitted by law to charge from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant. The sum, together with interest on it, will be additional rent.
17. LANDLORD'S ENTRY ON PREMISES
Landlord and its authorized representatives will have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable times on reasonable advance notice for any of the following purposes, always providing that the entrance to the Premises shall not be blocked thereby during Tenant's normal business hours, and further providing that the business of Tenant shall not be unreasonably interfered with:
(a) To determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease.
(b) To do any necessary maintenance and repairs, and to make any restorations to the Premises or to protect the Premises from adjacent construction. Landlord's exercise of this right to enter for maintenance and repairs shall not be construed to impose any obligation upon Landlord not otherwise expressly provided for in this Lease.
(c) To post notices of "for sale," "for lease" or "for rent" as appropriate or to show the Premises to brokers, agents, buyers, tenants, or other persons interested in the Premises at any time during the term.
Landlord shall have the further right to enter the Premises for the purposes of: installing and maintaining, pipes, ducts, conduits and other utility lines in or through the Premises to serve other Premises in the Building; access to the space in the Building immediately south of the Premises to aid in the work of constructing a rear exit system serving the Premises and other
Mechanics' Bank Institute / Sequoia Bank Lease CLEAN (V -3 03 25 03 SRCM)

Mechanics' Institute's 25,750 sq ft GBA area is not taxed. The balance of the building (34,483 sq ft GBA) was taxed $16,772 last year.
Sequoia Bank's proportional share of the tax bill is: 5,747 / 34,483 = 16.7%
Last year this would have been 16.67% x $16,772 = $2,800 which is only 49 cents/ sq ft/yr.
Sequoia Bank's proportional share of the building's insurance bill is 5,747 / 60,233 = 9.5%
Last year this would have been 9.5% x $28,056 = $2,665 which is only 46 cents/ sq ft/yr.

RECITALS
A. Assignor is the existing tenant under that certain Lease dated May 1, 2003, by and between Landlord and Assignor, as tenant (the "Lease") pursuant to which Landlord leased to Assignor, and Assignor leased from Landlord, those certain premises located at 65 Post Street, San Francisco, California, as more particularly described in the Lease ("Premises"). All capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined in this Agreement will have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease.
B. Assignor desires to assign all of its right, title and interest in, and obligations under, the Lease to Assignee, and Assignee desires to accept such assignment and assume such obligations, all on the terms and conditions set forth below.
C. Landlord agrees to consent to the proposed assignment on the conditions set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Assignment. Effective as of the Effective Date, Assignor hereby grants, transfers and assigns to Assignee all of its right, title and interest in, and delegates to Assignee all of its obligations under, the Lease. A true, correct and complete copy of the Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is by this reference incorporated herein.
2. Assumption. Assignee accepts such assignment and delegation, assumes the Lease, agrees to pay all rent and other charges accruing under the Lease from and after the Effective Date, and agrees to observe and perform all of the other covenants, agreements and obligations to be observed and/or performed by the tenant under the Lease from and after the Effective Date. Assignee agrees that it has inspected the Premises and hereby agrees to take the Premises in the condition existing upon the Effective Date.
3. Assignor's Continuing Liability, Assignor shall remain obligated to Landlord for the full performance of all covenants, conditions, obligations and duties required of it as tenant under the Lease and shall not be relieved of any such performance thereunder as a result of this Agreement. However, as of the Effective Date, Assignor shall have no continuing or
future possessory rights in and to the Premises and thereafter waives any rights it may possess to receive notice from Landlord relative to this Agreement or the Lease.
4. Assignor's Representations and Covenants. Assignor represents and warrants as follows:
a. That the Lease is in full force and effect; that Assignor's interest therein is free and clear of all encumbrances; and that Assignor has fully performed all covenants and obligations under the Lease and has not done or permitted any acts in violation of the covenants contained in the Lease.
b. That Assignor has not heretofore assigned, mortgaged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred, amended or encumbered, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Lease or its interest therein.

Notwithstanding the provision in Section 2.3 of the Lease that provides that the Options to Extend are personal to Assignor and may not be assigned, Landlord grants Assignee the right to exercise the Options to Extend on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.3 of the Lease.
8. Security Deposit. The parties acknowledge that Landlord now holds the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to be applied subject to the Provisions of the Lease.
