              September 18, 2008, Vineyard National Bancorp (&#8220;VNBC&#8221;) announced that VNBC and
              its operating subsidiary, Vineyard Bank, N.A. (&#8220;Vineyard&#8221;) had entered into an
              employment agreement with Glen Terry, as president and chief executive
              officer
              of VNBC and Vineyard, which terms were subject to regulatory approval.
              On
              December 17, 2008, VNBC, Vineyard and Mr. Terry entered into an amended
              and
              restated employment agreement (the &#8220;Restated Agreement&#8221;). The Restated Agreement
              includes certain changes that were (i) required by regulators or (ii)
              made in
              response to the changed circumstances at VNBC and the Bank (specifically,
              the
              previously disclosed unsuccessful capital raise transaction and the
              subsequent
              review by VNBC of strategic alternatives, including the potential sale
              of
              Vineyard).</font></font>

                The

                the grant of

                initial grant
                of stock options previously anticipated will now be made, due to
                the fact that
                that initial grant was to be made only after a successful capital
                raise

Item 5.02.
Departure
                        of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
                        Appointment of
                        Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
                        Officers.
On
              September 18, 2008, Vineyard National Bancorp ("VNBC") announced that VNBC and
              its operating subsidiary, Vineyard Bank, N.A. ("Vineyard") had entered into an
              employment agreement with Glen Terry, as president and chief executive
              officer
              of VNBC and Vineyard, which terms were subject to regulatory approval.
              On
              December 17, 2008, VNBC, Vineyard and Mr. Terry entered into an amended
              and
              restated employment agreement (the "Restated Agreement"). The Restated Agreement
              includes certain changes that were (i) required by regulators or (ii)
              made in
              response to the changed circumstances at VNBC and the Bank (specifically,
              the
              previously disclosed unsuccessful capital raise transaction and the
              subsequent
              review by VNBC of strategic alternatives, including the potential sale
              of
              Vineyard).
The
                material
                changes contained in the Restated Agreement include:
·
a
                reduction in the
"Severance Payment" payable to Mr. Terry under certain circumstances from (i)
                two (2) times his annual base salary plus a pro-rated bonus to (ii)
                one (1)
                times his annual base salary. However, in the event that the conditions
                enumerated in 12 C.F.R. §§ 359.1(f)(1)(ii)(2)(A) through (E) do not exist at the
                time of termination (which conditions relate to, among other things,
                a troubled
                condition regulatory designation and similar matters), then the Severance
                Payment springs back to two (2) times base salary plus a pro-rated
                bonus;
                and
·
the
                provision providing
                for a $180,000 payment to Mr. Terry in the event that he was not
                placed in the
                CEO role if a capital raise transaction was not successful was replaced
                with a
                provision providing for a $180,000 payment to Mr. Terry in the event
                of a
                termination of his employment if a transaction involving the sale
                of Vineyard
                does not occur.
Although
                certain other changes were made from the original employment agreement,
                all
                other material terms, including base salary and term, remain unchanged.
                The
                Restated Agreement also did not change any provisions relating to
                the grant of
                stock options to Mr. Terry. As a result, it is unlikely that the
                initial grant
                of stock options previously anticipated will now be made, due to
                the fact that
                that initial grant was to be made only after a successful capital
                raise
                transaction.
A
                copy of the
                Restated Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated
                herein by
                reference.
