<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The North Carolina Business Corporation Act (&#147;NCBCA&#148;) provides for indemnification by a
corporation of its officers, directors, employees and agents, and any person who is or was serving
at the corporation&#146;s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity or
enterprise or as a trustee or administrator under an employee benefit plan, against liability and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys&#146; fees, in any proceeding (including without limitation a
proceeding brought by or on behalf of the corporation itself) arising out of their status as such
or their activities in any of the foregoing capacities.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Permissible indemnification. </I></B>Under the NCBCA, a corporation may, but is not required to,
indemnify any such person against liability and expenses incurred in any such proceeding, provided
such person conducted himself or herself in good faith and (i)&nbsp;in the case of conduct in his or her
official capacity, reasonably believed that his or her conduct was in the corporation&#146;s best
interests, and (ii)&nbsp;in all other cases, reasonably believed that his or her conduct was at least
not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests; and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, where
he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. However, a
corporation may not indemnify such person either in connection with a proceeding by or in the right
of the corporation in which such person was adjudged liable to the corporation, or in connection
with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to such person (whether or not
involving action in an official capacity) in which such person was adjudged liable on the basis
that personal benefit was improperly received.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Mandatory indemnification. </I></B>Unless limited by the corporation&#146;s charter, the NCBCA requires a
corporation to indemnify a director or officer of the corporation who is wholly successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which such person was a party because he
or she is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with the proceeding.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Advance for expenses</I></B><I>. </I>Expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation in defending a proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding as authorized by the board of directors of the specific case, or as
authorized by the charter or bylaws or by any applicable resolution or contract, upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay amounts advanced unless it ultimately is
determined that such person is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation against such expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Court-ordered indemnification. </I></B>Unless otherwise provided in the corporation&#146;s charter, a
director or officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification
to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt
of an application, the court, after giving any notice the court deems necessary, may order
indemnification if it determines either (i)&nbsp;that the director or officer is entitled to mandatory
indemnification as described above, in which case the court also will order the corporation to pay
the reasonable expenses incurred to obtain the court-ordered indemnification, or (ii)&nbsp;that the
director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the
relevant circumstances, whether or not such person met the requisite standard of conduct or was
adjudged liable to the corporation in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation or on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received in connection with any
other proceeding so charging (but if adjudged so liable, indemnification is limited to reasonable
expenses incurred).
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Voluntary indemnification. </I></B>In addition to and separate and apart from &#147;permissible&#148; and
&#147;mandatory&#148; indemnification described above, a corporation may, by charter, bylaw, contract, or
resolution, indemnify or agree to indemnify any one or more of its directors, officers, employees
or agents against liability and expenses in any proceeding (including any proceeding brought by or
on behalf of the corporation itself) arising out of their status as such or their activities in any
of the foregoing capacities. However, the corporation may not indemnify or agree to indemnify a
person against liability or expenses he may incur on account of activities which were at the time
taken, known or believed by such person to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the
corporation. Any provision in a corporation&#146;s charter or bylaws or in a contract or resolution may
include provisions for recovery from the corporation of reasonable costs, expenses and attorney&#146;s
fees in connection with the enforcement of rights to indemnification granted therein and may
further include provisions establishing reasonable procedures for determining and enforcing such
rights.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Parties entitled to indemnification. </I></B>The NCBCA defines &#147;director&#148; to include ex-directors and
the estate or personal representative of a director. Unless its charter provides otherwise, a
corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent of the corporation
to the same extent as to a director and also may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer,
employee or agent who is not a director to the extent, consistent with public policy, as may be
provided in its charter or bylaws, by general or specific action of its board of directors, or by
contract.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
NewBridge Bancorp, a North Carolina corporation ("
NewBridge
" or the
"
Registrant
"), hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-142450),
which was declared effective on June 15, 2007 and amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on June
18, 2007 (the "
Form S-4
"), by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-8
relating to shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share (the "
Common Stock
"), that
are issuable by NewBridge upon the exercise of stock options and other stock-based awards granted
under the FNB Financial Services Corporation Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan and the FNB Financial
Services Corporation Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (collectively, the "
Plans
").
On July 31, 2007, FNB Financial Services Corporation ("
FNB
") merged with and into LSB
Bancshares, Inc. ("LSB"), with the combined company retaining the name NewBridge Bancorp, pursuant
to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "
Merger Agreement
"), dated as of February 26,
2007, by and between LSB and FNB. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the
merger, each share of common stock of FNB issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective
time of the merger, subject to certain exceptions, was converted into the right to receive 1.07
shares of NewBridge Common Stock. In addition, each option to acquire shares of FNB common stock
granted pursuant to the Plans that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the
effective time was converted into an option to acquire shares of NewBridge Common Stock, as
adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
The North Carolina Business Corporation Act ("NCBCA") provides for indemnification by a
corporation of its officers, directors, employees and agents, and any person who is or was serving
at the corporation's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity or
enterprise or as a trustee or administrator under an employee benefit plan, against liability and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in any proceeding (including without limitation a
proceeding brought by or on behalf of the corporation itself) arising out of their status as such
or their activities in any of the foregoing capacities.
4
Permissible indemnification.
Under the NCBCA, a corporation may, but is not required to,
indemnify any such person against liability and expenses incurred in any such proceeding, provided
such person conducted himself or herself in good faith and (i) in the case of conduct in his or her
official capacity, reasonably believed that his or her conduct was in the corporation's best
interests, and (ii) in all other cases, reasonably believed that his or her conduct was at least
not opposed to the corporation's best interests; and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, where
he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. However, a
corporation may not indemnify such person either in connection with a proceeding by or in the right
of the corporation in which such person was adjudged liable to the corporation, or in connection
with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to such person (whether or not
involving action in an official capacity) in which such person was adjudged liable on the basis
that personal benefit was improperly received.
Mandatory indemnification.
Unless limited by the corporation's charter, the NCBCA requires a
corporation to indemnify a director or officer of the corporation who is wholly successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which such person was a party because he
or she is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with the proceeding.
Advance for expenses
.
Expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation in defending a proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding as authorized by the board of directors of the specific case, or as
authorized by the charter or bylaws or by any applicable resolution or contract, upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay amounts advanced unless it ultimately is
determined that such person is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation against such expenses.
Court-ordered indemnification.
Unless otherwise provided in the corporation's charter, a
director or officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification
to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt
of an application, the court, after giving any notice the court deems necessary, may order
indemnification if it determines either (i) that the director or officer is entitled to mandatory
indemnification as described above, in which case the court also will order the corporation to pay
the reasonable expenses incurred to obtain the court-ordered indemnification, or (ii) that the
director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the
relevant circumstances, whether or not such person met the requisite standard of conduct or was
adjudged liable to the corporation in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation or on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received in connection with any
other proceeding so charging (but if adjudged so liable, indemnification is limited to reasonable
expenses incurred).
Voluntary indemnification.
In addition to and separate and apart from "permissible" and
"mandatory" indemnification described above, a corporation may, by charter, bylaw, contract, or
resolution, indemnify or agree to indemnify any one or more of its directors, officers, employees
or agents against liability and expenses in any proceeding (including any proceeding brought by or
on behalf of the corporation itself) arising out of their status as such or their activities in any
of the foregoing capacities. However, the corporation may not indemnify or agree to indemnify a
person against liability or expenses he may incur on account of activities which were at the time
taken, known or believed by such person to be clearly in conflict with the best interests of the
corporation. Any provision in a corporation's charter or bylaws or in a contract or resolution may
include provisions for recovery from the corporation of reasonable costs, expenses and attorney's
fees in connection with the enforcement of rights to indemnification granted therein and may
further include provisions establishing reasonable procedures for determining and enforcing such
rights.
Parties entitled to indemnification.
The NCBCA defines "director" to include ex-directors and
the estate or personal representative of a director. Unless its charter provides otherwise, a
corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent of the corporation
to the same extent as to a director and also may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer,
employee or agent who is not a director to the extent, consistent with public policy, as may be
provided in its charter or bylaws, by general or specific action of its board of directors, or by
contract.
5
Indemnification by NewBridge.
NewBridge's Articles and Bylaws provide for indemnification of
NewBridge's directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Insurance.
The NCBCA provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of an individual who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation
against certain liabilities incurred by such persons, whether or not the corporation is otherwise
authorized under North Carolina law to indemnify such party. NewBridge currently maintains
directors' and officers' insurance policies covering its directors and officers.
Summary Only.
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of North Carolina law
dealing with indemnification of directors and officers and does not purport to be complete. It is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant statutes, which contain detailed specific
provisions regarding the circumstances under which, and the person for whose benefit,
indemnification shall or may be made.

Undertakings

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post- effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would
not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the
SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information

reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i) If the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
7
(a) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be
deemed to be part of the Registration Statement as of the date the filed prospectus
was deemed part of and included in the Registration Statement; and
(b) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or
(b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an
offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of
providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be
deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the earlier of
the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of
the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the
prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any
person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new
effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the securities in the
Registration Statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or
prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a
time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any
statement that was made in the Registration Statement or prospectus that was part of
the Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such
effective date; or
(ii) If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration
statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectus filed in reliance on Rule 430A,
shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the date it
is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a
document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or
prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of
contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in
the Registration Statement or prospectus that was part of the Registration Statement or made
in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to
any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting
method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the
offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to
the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the
undersigned Registrant; (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the
offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities
provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and (iv) Any other communication that is an
offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
8
(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it
has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and
has duly caused this post-effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-8 to the registration statement on
Form S-4 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of
