SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE (this "Second Amendment") is made effective as of June 11, 2008, by and between VON KARMAN MICHELSON CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Landlord"), and CALIFORNIA FIRST NATIONAL BANCORP, a California corporation ("Tenant"), with reference to the following:

A.       World Trade Center Building, Inc., a Japanese corporation and Landlord's predecessor-in-interest under the Lease, as herein defined ("Original Landlord"), and Tenant entered into that certain Office Building Lease dated as of January 30, 2003 (the "Original Lease"), as amended by that certain Amendment to Lease dated as of December 17, 2004 (the "First Amendment"), by and between Landlord and Tenant (the Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment, is hereinafter referred to as the "Lease"), for the lease of certain premises (the "Existing Premises") known collectively as Suites 400 ("Suite 400"), 420, 700 and 800 consisting in the aggregate of approximately 48,568 rentable square feet in that certain building (the "Building") located at 18201 Von Karman Avenue, Irvine, California 92612, as more particularly described in the Lease.

B.        Landlord and Tenant desire by this Second Amendment to amend the Lease in order to (i) extend the Term, (ii) provide for a revised Monthly Base Rent, (iii) reduce the Existing Premises by approximately 5,197 rentable square feet consisting of Suite 400 (for such purposes, the "Surrendered Space"), and (iv) further amend, modify and supplement the Lease as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals (which are incorporated herein by this reference), for the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1.         Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, all references to the "Lease" in the Lease and in this Second Amendment shall hereinafter be deemed to refer to the Lease, as amended hereby.

2.         Extension of Term. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Term is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2008. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, in accordance with Section 40 of the Original Lease, Landlord and Tenant agree that the Term is hereby extended for a period of sixty (60) complete calendar months (the "Extension Term") commencing on September 1, 2008 (the "Extension Term Commencement Date") and ending on August 31, 2013, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease. In addition, any reference in the Lease to the "Term" or words of similar import shall mean the Term together with the Extension Term, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, and any reference in the Lease to the "Expiration Date" or words of similar import shall mean August 31, 2013, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

3.         Reduction of Existing Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall, on the day immediately prior to the Extension Term Commencement Date (the "Return Date"), vacate, surrender and return exclusive possession of the Surrendered Space to Landlord in the condition required under, and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the Lease, and Tenant and all of Tenant's subtenants, assignees and other transferees, if any, shall have no further right to the Surrendered Space. Without limitation as to the foregoing, Tenant shall continue to lease the remaining 43,371 rentable square feet of the Existing Premises known as Suites 420, 700 and 800 (the "Reduced Premises"), upon and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease (Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that such stated amount of the rentable square footage of the Reduced Premises is not a representation or warranty of the exact number of rentable square feet therein but rather is only a reasonable approximation and that the rent is not subject to revision whether or not the actual square footage is more or less than such approximation). Accordingly, effective on the Extension Term Commencement Date, (a) all references to the "Premises" in the Lease shall mean and refer to the Reduced Premises, and (b) "Tenant's Percentage" shall mean and refer to 19.7430% (subject to increase or decrease in the event Landlord, in accordance with sound property management practices, determines that the rentable square footage of the Building is more or less than the rentable square footage of the Building as stated in the Lease). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Return Date, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense and using Building-standard materials and methods, separate Suite 420 from the Surrendered Space by removing the glass doors in the common wall between such suites and filling in the opening in the common wall created by such removal (the "Demising Work"). Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord will be performing the Demising Work during the Term (as extended by the Extension Term), and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of Rent in connection with the Demising Work or to any change in the Extension Term Commencement Date, nor shall the Demising Work be deemed an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant. Tenant shall at all times cooperate reasonably and in good faith in connection with Landlord's prosecution of the Demising Work, including, without limitation, by granting Landlord access to any portion of the Premises and by promptly responding to matters arising in connection with the Demising Work. Without limitation as to the foregoing, Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's business operations during Landlord's prosecution of the Demising Work. In the event Tenant fails to vacate, surrender and return exclusive possession of the Surrendered Space to Landlord in the condition required under, and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the Lease on the Return Date, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies Landlord may have pursuant to the Lease and at law and in equity, Tenant shall be deemed a holdover tenant and the terms and conditions of Section 11(b) of the Original Lease shall apply with respect to the Surrendered Space.

4.         Monthly Base Rent for Extension Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, and in addition to all other amounts due and payable by Tenant in connection with the Lease to be paid in the manner specified therein, including, without limitation, Additional Rent, Tenant shall, commencing on the Extension Term Commencement Date, pay in the manner specified in the Lease, Monthly Base Rent for the Reduced Premises as follows:

37 - 48 $3.15 $136,618.65
49 - 60 $3.25 $140,955.75

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, during such months, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of Additional Rent.
