<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Community Valley Bancop ("Registrant") provide for indemnification of agents including directors, officers and
employees to the maximum extent allowed by California law including the use of an indemnity agreement. Registrant's Articles further provide for the elimination of director liability for monetary
damages to the maximum extent allowed by California law. The indemnification law of the State of California generally allows indemnification in matters not involving the right of the corporation, to
an agent of the corporation if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and in the case of a criminal matter, had
no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful. California law, with respect to matters involving the right of a corporation, allows indemnification of an agent of the
corporation, if such person acted in good faith, in a manner such person believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders; provided that there shall be no indemnification
for: (i)&nbsp;amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a pending action without court approval; (ii)&nbsp;expenses incurred in defending a pending action which is settled or otherwise
disposed of without court approval; (iii)&nbsp;matters in which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the
proceeding is or was pending shall determine that such person is entitled to be indemnified; or (iv)&nbsp;other matters specified in the California General Corporation Law. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registrant's
Bylaws provide that Registrant shall to the maximum extent permitted by law have the power to indemnify its directors, officers and employees. Registrant's Bylaws also
provide that Registrant shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance covering its directors, officers and employees against any liability asserted against any of them and incurred by any of
them, whether or not Registrant would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under the provisions of applicable law or the provisions of Registrant's Bylaws. </FONT></P>

for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

PART II
Item 3.    Incorporation of Documents by Reference
Community Valley Bancorp (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference the documents listed below. All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents.
(a)
The
description of the Registrant's common stock is contained in its Registration Statement on Form S-4EF, file number 333-85950.
Any
statement contained herein or in any document incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent
that another statement contained herein or in any other document subsequently filed, which also is incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4.    Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Community Valley Bancop ("Registrant") provide for indemnification of agents including directors, officers and
employees to the maximum extent allowed by California law including the use of an indemnity agreement. Registrant's Articles further provide for the elimination of director liability for monetary
damages to the maximum extent allowed by California law. The indemnification law of the State of California generally allows indemnification in matters not involving the right of the corporation, to
an agent of the corporation if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and in the case of a criminal matter, had
no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful. California law, with respect to matters involving the right of a corporation, allows indemnification of an agent of the
corporation, if such person acted in good faith, in a manner such person believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders; provided that there shall be no indemnification
for: (i) amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a pending action without court approval; (ii) expenses incurred in defending a pending action which is settled or otherwise
disposed of without court approval; (iii) matters in which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the
proceeding is or was pending shall determine that such person is entitled to be indemnified; or (iv) other matters specified in the California General Corporation Law.
Registrant's
Bylaws provide that Registrant shall to the maximum extent permitted by law have the power to indemnify its directors, officers and employees. Registrant's Bylaws also
provide that Registrant shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance covering its directors, officers and employees against any liability asserted against any of them and incurred by any of
them, whether or not Registrant would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under the provisions of applicable law or the provisions of Registrant's Bylaws.
Item 7.    Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not Applicable.

Item 9.    Undertakings
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 of 1933;
(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;
(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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2)
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
