[FORM OF LETTER TO CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS]

TO THE HOLDERS OF CLOVIS COMMUNITY BANK
UNEXCHANGED STOCK CERTIFICATES

        Our records indicate you have not yet exchanged your shares of common stock of Clovis Community Bank ("Bank Common Stock") for the new shares of Central Valley Community Bancorp Common Stock (Common Stock). On November 15, 2000, shareholders were notified to send in their shares pursuant to the completion of the acquisition of Clovis Community Bank by Central Valley Community Bancorp, which was approved by the shareholders of Clovis Community Bank.

        We urge you to exchange your Bank Common Stock certificate(s) as soon as possible. If not received, your Bank Common Stock, which remains unexchanged, will be subject to escheatment in accordance with the laws of the state in which you reside. Once your stock is turned over to the state, your only recourse to reclaim your stock will be with the state.

        Also be advised that, on February 13, 2002, the Board of Directors of Central Valley Community Bancorp announced a $0.10 per share cash dividend which was paid to holders of the Common Stock, on March 31, 2002. Your cash dividend is being held pending the exchange of your shares and is subject to the same escheatment should you not respond.

        Please take this opportunity to locate your old Clovis Community Bank certificate(s) and mail them, along with the official letter of transmittal that was sent to you in November 2000, to the address provided below. We recommend you mail your certificate(s) by registered mail.

Please do not mail your certificate(s) with your proxy.
