FDIC DEPOSIT INSURANCE COVERAGE


Mechanics Bank has extended its participation in the FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG) Program to December 31, 2010

Mechanics Bank has decided to continue to extend its participation in the FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG) Program through December 31, 2010, and possibly further should the program be extended again. Under this program, originally set to expire December 31, 2009, all non-interest-bearing transaction accounts (including demand deposit accounts, low interest NOW accounts and IOLTAs) are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount in the account. The FDIC has extended the TAG Program through December 31, 2010.

Additionally, the FDIC deposit insurance amount of $250,000 per depositor will remain in effect through December 31, 2013. On January 1, 2014, the standard insurance amount will return to $100,000 per depositor for all account categories except IRAs and other certain retirement accounts, which will remain at $250,000 per depositor.
