<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CVB Financial Corp. is incorporated under the California General Corporation Law. Section&nbsp;317
of the California General Corporation Law (&#147;Section&nbsp;317&#148;) provides a statutory framework covering
indemnification of any officer or director who has been or is threatened to be made a party to any
legal proceeding by reason of his or her service on behalf of the Registrant. Section&nbsp;317 provides
that indemnification against expenses actually and reasonably incurred shall be made to any officer
or director who has been successful on the merits with respect to the defense of any proceeding but
does not require indemnification in other circumstances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;317 provides that a corporation may indemnify any agent of the Registrant including
officers and directors against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually
and reasonably incurred in a third party proceeding against such person by reason of that person&#146;s
service on behalf of the Registrant, provided the person acted in good faith and in a manner that
the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;317 further provides that the Registrant may indemnify any agent who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the
right of the Registrant against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action, provided that the person acted in good
faith and in a manner the person believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant and its
shareholders. However, in actions brought by or in the right of the Registrant, indemnification is
not available without court approval for amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a
pending action or expenses incurred in defending a pending action which is disposed of by
settlement or otherwise. Further, with respect to matters for which the agent shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, indemnification for expenses is permissible only to the
extent the court shall determine that the agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, Section&nbsp;317 provides that the indemnification provided by the statute is not
exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, to the extent additional
rights are authorized in the Registrant&#146;s Articles of Incorporation. Section&nbsp;317 permits the
advancing of expenses incurred in defending any proceeding against an agent of the Registrant by
reason of that person&#146;s service on behalf of the Registrant upon the giving of an undertaking, or
promise, by the indemnified person to repay those sums in the event it is later determined that the
person is not entitled to be indemnified. Finally, Section&nbsp;317 permits the Registrant to procure
insurance on behalf

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended respectively, authorize the

foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission 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 final adjudication of such issue.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
CVB Financial Corp. is incorporated under the California General Corporation Law. Section 317
of the California General Corporation Law ("Section 317") provides a statutory framework covering
indemnification of any officer or director who has been or is threatened to be made a party to any
legal proceeding by reason of his or her service on behalf of the Registrant. Section 317 provides
that indemnification against expenses actually and reasonably incurred shall be made to any officer
or director who has been successful on the merits with respect to the defense of any proceeding but
does not require indemnification in other circumstances.
Section 317 provides that a corporation may indemnify any agent of the Registrant including
officers and directors against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually
and reasonably incurred in a third party proceeding against such person by reason of that person's
service on behalf of the Registrant, provided the person acted in good faith and in a manner that
the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant.
Section 317 further provides that the Registrant may indemnify any agent who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the
right of the Registrant against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action, provided that the person acted in good
faith and in a manner the person believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant and its
shareholders. However, in actions brought by or in the right of the Registrant, indemnification is
not available without court approval for amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a
pending action or expenses incurred in defending a pending action which is disposed of by
settlement or otherwise. Further, with respect to matters for which the agent shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, indemnification for expenses is permissible only to the
extent the court shall determine that the agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification.
In addition, Section 317 provides that the indemnification provided by the statute is not
exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, to the extent additional
rights are authorized in the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation. Section 317 permits the
advancing of expenses incurred in defending any proceeding against an agent of the Registrant by
reason of that person's service on behalf of the Registrant upon the giving of an undertaking, or
promise, by the indemnified person to repay those sums in the event it is later determined that the
person is not entitled to be indemnified. Finally, Section 317 permits the Registrant to procure
insurance on behalf

of its directors, officers, and other corporate agents against liability asserted against or
incurred by these individuals even if the Registrant would not otherwise have the power under
applicable law to indemnify them for their expenses.
The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended respectively, authorize the
Registrant to indemnify its agents to the fullest extent permitted under California law. The
Registrant has also adopted indemnification agreements in order to implement the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws. The Registrant also maintains directors' and officers' liability
insurance.

UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers 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 of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
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 this Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in 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 prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no greater than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;

Table of Contents
(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) herein do
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the 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 bonafide offering thereof; and
(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.
(b) The 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 this
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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to the 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
Commission 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 final adjudication of such issue.
