POWER OF ATTORNEY


Know all persons by these presents, that I, G. Alfred Webster,
the undersigned, of NewBridge Bancorp, Greensboro, NC, hereby make,
constitute and appoint each of Kenneth W. Banner, Richard M. Cobb,
and Ramsey K. Hamadi, and each of them, signing singly, my true
and lawful attorney-in-fact for me and in my name, place and stead,
giving each said person full and equal power to act in my name, place
and stead, to do the following:

(i)	Execute for and on behalf of myself, in my capacity
as an officer and/or director of NewBridge Bancorp (the Company),
Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"), and the rules and
regulations adopted thereunder;

(ii)	Do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of
myself that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by such
attorney-in-fact, to complete and execute such Forms 3, 4 or 5;
complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto; and file
such forms with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission,
any other governmental or administrative authority, and/or any
stock exchange or similar authority; and

(iii)	Take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection
with the foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact,
may be a benefit to, in the best interest of, and/or legally required
by me.


I hereby grant to each such attorney-in-fact full power and authority
to do and perform every act which is required, necessary or proper
to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein
granted as I might or could do if personally present, with full
power of substitution or revocation, and I hereby ratify and
confirm all that such attorney-in-fact, or such attorneys-in-fact
substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers
herein granted.  Execution by the named attorney-in-fact alone
shall be sufficient and shall be deemed my act in whatever
capacity I might have so acted in my own right.  I acknowledge
that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, and serving in such capacity
at my request, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming,
any of my responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the 1934 Act.


This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until
I am no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to my
holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by me in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

This Power of Attorney is effective immediately and shall not be
effected by my subsequent incapacity or mental incompetence.
