(e)
                  On
                  September 30, 2007, Vineyard National Bancorp (the "Company") and
                  its
                  wholly-owned subsidiary Vineyard Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") issued
                  revised Change
                  of Control Agreements (the "Agreements") to Gordon Fong, Chief

The
                  following modifications have been made to the Agreements, which have an
                  effective date of September 30, 2007, in order to better align

                  events
