                            CITY NATIONAL CORPORATION
            NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   The results of operations reflect the interim adjustments, all of which are
     of a normal recurring nature and which, in the opinion of management, are
     necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods.
     These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in
     the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1998.

2.   In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). This Statement establishes
     accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for
     hedging activities. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
     after June 15, 1999. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
     "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
     the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.133" (SFAS 137), which extended the
     effective date to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company
     uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure, which are
     accounted for as hedging activities and does not believe that the
     implementation will have a significant impact on the Company's financial
     position, net income or net comprehensive income.

3.   Trading account securities are stated at market value. Investments not
     classified as trading securities are classified as securities
     available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or
     losses for securities available-for-sale are excluded from net income and
     are reported as comprehensive income included as a separate component of
     shareholders' equity net of taxes.

4.   Certain prior periods' data have been reclassified to conform to current
     period presentation.

5.   Under the Company's current one million-share common stock buyback program,
     which was announced on July 29, 1999, no shares were repurchased as of July
     31, 1999. Under the Company's buyback program announced on September 8,
     1998 and completed on July 28, 1999, a total of one million shares were
     purchased at a cost of $32.2 million. Shares purchased under the buyback
     program will be reissued upon the exercise of stock options and for other
     general corporate purposes.

6.   On June 4, 1999, the company announced a definitive agreement for the
     acquisition of $0.4 billion American Pacific State Bank in an all cash
     transaction valued at approximately $89 million. The transaction is
     expected to close in the second half of the year.

7.   The Bank has requested regulatory approval from the Office of the
     Comptroller of the Currency to close its Fountain Valley branch that was
     acquired in the Company's acquisition of Harbor Bancorp in 1998.

8.   Payments were made in the first half of 1999 for $0.3 million of purchase
     price adjustments recorded as part of the acquisition of North American
     Trust Company in 1998. Reserves for excess space of $0.5 million still
     exist to be used over the remaining 6.5 years of a lease.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

City National Corporation (the Corporation) is the holding Company for City
National Bank (the Bank). Because the Bank comprises substantially all of the
business of the Corporation, references to the "Company" in this Item 2 reflect
the consolidated activities of the Corporation and the Bank.

See "Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the `Safe Harbor' Provision of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995", on page 18 in connection with
"forward looking" statements included in the Overview section of Results of
Operations and in the Loan Portfolio section of the Balance Sheet Analysis.

The Company regularly evaluates, and holds discussions with, various
potential acquisition candidates. As a general rule the Company does not
publicly announce such acquisitions until after a definitive agreement has
been reached, as in the June 4, 1999 announcement of the acquisition of $0.4
billion American Pacific State Bank for approximately $89.0 million in an all
cash transaction. Also as a matter of policy, the Company generally does not
make any specific projections as to future earnings nor does it endorse any
projections regarding future performance which may be made by others.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The Company recorded consolidated net income of $26.1 million, or $0.55 per
diluted common share, in the second quarter of 1999, compared to $23.6 million,
or $0.49 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 1998. Increased net
income was primarily due to $3.8 million in higher net interest income, and $4.3
million higher noninterest income, partially offset by $4.9 million in higher
noninterest expense.

Net income for the first six months of 1999 totaled $52.1 million, or $1.10 per
diluted common share compared with $46.1 million or $.95 per diluted common
share in the 1998 period. The six-month increase resulted largely from a $8.7
million increase in net interest income and a $7.1 million increase in
noninterest income partially offset by a $6.4 million increase in noninterest
expense.

Return on average assets for the second quarter and first half of 1999 were
1.68% and 1.71% respectively compared with 1.73% and 1.72% for the corresponding
periods of 1998. Return on average equity for the second quarter and first half
of 1999 increased to 18.62% and 18.65% from 17.66% and 17.33% in 1998.

Earnings before the amortization of goodwill and core deposits intangibles
(net of applicable taxes) ("cash" earnings) for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1999 were $27.6 million or $0.58 per diluted common share and
$55.2 million or $1.17 per diluted common share, respectively compared to
$25.0 million or $0.52 per diluted common share and $49.0 million or $1.01
per diluted common share in the corresponding periods of 1998. On the same
basis, the returns on average assets were 1.79% and 1.82% for the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively compared to 1.85% and 1.84% in
1998. Cash return on average common equity were 21.94% and 22.06% for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively compared to 20.94%
and 20.47% for the year ago periods. "Cash" earnings are presented because
they measure the Company's ability to support growth, pay dividends and
repurchase stock. The Company's "cash" earnings per share and other ratios
are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis increased 5.3% to $78.7
million in the second quarter of 1999 compared with $74.8 million in the
year-ago quarter, but decreased 1.7% from $80.1 million in the prior quarter.
The year-over-year increase resulted from the 14.8% increase in average interest
earning assets between quarters. Interest recovered on nonaccrual and
charged-off loans was $4.1 million in the first six months of 1999 compared with
$5.1 million for the same period a year ago. The second quarter fully
taxable-net interest spread and the net interest margin decreased to 4.02% and
5.48%, respectively from 4.33% and 5.95%, for the comparable period a year ago.
The combination of strong growth in earning assets, which outpaced growth in
lower cost core deposits, and the slightly lower prime rate that took effect in
the fourth quarter of 1998, contributed to a decrease in net interest

                                       7

<PAGE>

margin. The Company announced on July 1, 1999 that it had raised its prime
rate by 25 basis points to 8.00%. Management expects modest growth in net
interest income for the remainder of 1999 from the first half 1999 levels,
assuming, among other things, that loan balances will continue to grow.
Actual results may vary if the assumption proves to be incorrect.

Average loans increased $491.3 million (12.0%) in the second quarter to
$4,602.6 million compared to the prior-year quarter and $91.7 million (2.0%)
from the first quarter of 1999. The year-over-year growth was driven
primarily by increases in commercial and construction loans. Commercial loan
average balances increased $375.0 million (17.8%) to $2,486.6 million while
construction loan average balances also increased $126.1 million (87.0%) to
$271.8 million as a result of continued strength in the Southern California
economy.

Total loans at June 30, 1999 were $4.7 billion compared with $4.5 billion at
both March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998. Relationship-originated loans
increased $345.0 million in the first half of 1999 while non-relationship-
syndicated loans, which continue to be less than 10.0% of the portfolio, and
purchased residential mortgage loans declined $153.0 million due to repayments
and a $41.4 million loan sale in the second quarter.

Total average deposits increased $352.4 million (8.4%) between second quarters
due primarily to increased deposit levels generated by banking offices and the
Bank's specialty deposit department. Total average securities increased $278.4
million (32.3%).

Total deposits as of June 30, 1999 increased $298.1 million (6.8%) compared to
June 30, 1998 and were $80.6 million (1.8%) higher than March 31, 1999.

The Company recorded no credit loss provision for the quarters and six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 due to changes in the portfolio and net credit
recoveries of $4.9 million in the first half of 1999 compared with net credit
losses of $4.7 million in the first half of 1998. Loans charged off in the
second quarter of 1999 were $1.5 million, compared to $4.1 million in the second
quarter of 1998. Recoveries were $3.0 million and $2.9 million in the quarters
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The allowance for credit losses was
2.97% of total loans at June 30, 1999 compared to 3.21% at June 30, 1998 and
3.07% at March 31, 1999. The provision for credit losses is expected to remain
at reduced levels but not necessarily at zero for the remainder of 1999. This
assumes that general economic conditions in Southern California will not
deteriorate materially during the balance of 1999, and if this assumption proves
to be inaccurate, a higher provision for credit losses may be required. The
provision levels for the balance of 1999 will depend on numerous factors
including the general economic conditions that impact borrowers.

Noninterest income of $21.7 million for the second quarter of 1999 continued a
sustained growth trend, increasing by $4.4 million (25.4%) over the $17.3
million reported in the same period a year ago and by $2.5 million (13.3%) over
the $19.1 million for the first quarter of 1999. Investment services and trust
fees increased in the second quarter of 1999 compared to the year-earlier
quarter as a result of strong, internally generated new business as well as new
revenue generated from the North American Trust Company ("NATC") acquisition,
which was completed at the end of 1998. Essentially, all categories of
noninterest income increased over the first quarter. Noninterest income is
expected to maintain its growth trend over prior year results for the remainder
of 1999. Gains on sale of assets and securities amounted to $2.3 million for the
quarter compared with $1.9 million in the year ago quarter and $1.3 million in
the first quarter of 1999. Included in the total gains on sale of securities and
assets in the second quarter of 1999 was a $1.0 million gain from the sale of
$41.4 million of purchased residential mortgage loans.

Noninterest expense totaled $57.8 million in the second quarter of 1999, an
increase of $4.9 million (9.2%) from the second quarter of 1998. For the first
half of 1999 noninterest expense totaled $113.7 million, an increase of $6.4
million (6.0%) from the first half of 1998. Salaries and other employee benefits
increased $4.5 million (16.1%) and $7.2 million (12.6%) for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1999 from the comparable periods in 1998. This increase is
primarily due to the additional personnel added as a result of the acquisition
of NATC, the hiring of additional personnel related to new branch openings and
other growth opportunities, and a more performance based compensation structure.
The expense categories other than staff were up 2% quarter to quarter and were
down 2% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from the comparable periods in
1998. All of the $0.2 million of NATC integration expenses accrued in 1998 were
paid in the first half of 1999. Noninterest expense levels for the remainder of
1999 are expected to be higher than in 1998 reflecting the growth of the Company
and the acquisition of NATC.

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs written using two digits
(rather than four) to define years. Computers or other equipment with
date-sensitive software may recognize "00" as 1900 rather than 2000. This could
result in system failure or miscalculations. If the Company or significant
customers, suppliers or other third parties fail to properly address Year 2000
issues, the Company's ability to operate could be affected. The Company's Year
2000 Readiness discussion follows:

During the first half of 1999, efforts continued to address Year 2000 matters in
accordance with the Company's five-phase project plan, which covers information
technology as well as embedded systems. The five phases are awareness,
assessment, renovation, validation and implementation with contingency planning
as a part of the validation phase. As previously reported, the first two phases
of awareness and assessment have been completed. The Company has now completed
its renovation, validation and implementation phases. As an additional
precaution the Company has developed a contingency plan for each of its mission
critical business units which establishes trigger dates for implementation of
the plan for each software application. The contingency plans will provide for
field testing to validate the contingency plans. However, these plans do not
guarantee that circumstances beyond the Company's control will not adversely
impact operations. At this time, based on assessments and testing to date, the
Company does not foresee any Year 2000 issues that would materially impair the
Bank's ability to conduct business.

The Company is engaged in the ongoing process of considering and examining
whether or not there would be a material effect on its business, net income or
balance sheet if its vendors, suppliers and customers do not become Year 2000
compliant in a timely manner. With regard to customer readiness, the Company has
queried and continues to query all commercial borrowers with loans of $1.0
million and over. For those customers having responded, it has been determined
that their compliance efforts at this time appear satisfactory or their business
would have no significant impact by Year 2000 matters. In addition, there is a
group of customers who have indicated their compliance will be in the future and
the Company continues to monitor their progress. The Company is also considering
customized action plans and disengagement strategies for any high risk
borrowers. The Company in its review of the adequacy of its allowance for credit
losses has considered the potential for Year 2000 risks to its borrowers.

Where the Company is a third party vendor to customers, as in the area of cash
management, the Company appears to have reached year 2000 readiness. The Company
is continuing to evaluate its risk and responsibilities with respect to the
premises it occupies. The Company's analysis of the corporate counterparties for
its investments and current hedging position was also completed in the first
quarter of 1999.

In the first half of 1999, approximately $1.4 million was directly and
indirectly expensed on Year 2000 matters. This amount excludes hardware and
software that was replaced in the normal course of business. Total direct and
indirect expenses are expected to be approximately $2.2 million for all of 1999.

The Company's effective tax rate of 34.7% in the second quarter of 1999 was
slightly lower than the previous year's second quarter and for all of 1998
reflecting an increase in state tax credits received as an incentive for making
or renewing loans in certain designated areas in and around Los Angeles. It is
expected that the Company's tax rate will remain in the 35.0% range for the
remainder of 1999 due to state tax credits and the Company's additional
investment in affordable housing limited partnerships.

</TABLE>

Gross loans at June 30, 1999 amounted to $4,722.7 million, up $494.5 million
(11.7%) from June 30, 1998 and up $192.3 million (4.2%) from December 31,
1998. During the quarter, relationship-originated loans increased $260.9
million while purchased residential first mortgages and non-relationship
syndicated loans fell $56.7 million due to repayments and loan sales.
Contributing to the $350.3 million increase in commercial loans from June 30,
1998 were loan originations and the purchase of syndicated corporate loans.
Construction loans also increased by $84.6 million from June 30, 1998 as the
Company continued to expand its lending for residential construction
development. The $4.9 million increase in residential first mortgage loans
from the year ago quarter resulted from the Bank's own originations. The
Company expects that the Bank's loan portfolio will increase from second
quarter 1999 levels due primarily to its own internal loan generation
activities but could include some higher yielding residential loan purchases.

      The following table presents information concerning nonaccrual loans, ORE,
and restructured loans.

Under the Company's current one million-share common stock buyback program,
which was announced on July 29, 1999 no shares were repurchased as of July 31,
1999. Under the Company's buyback program announced on September 8 1998 and
completed on July 28, 1999, a total of one million shares were purchased at a
cost of $32.2 million. Shares purchased under the buyback program will be
reissued upon the exercise of stock options and for other general corporate
purposes.

On July 29, 1999, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.165
per share, payable August 23, 1999 to shareholders of record as of August 11,
1999.


ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The principal objectives of asset/liability management are to maximize net
interest margin subject to margin volatility and liquidity constraints. Margin
volatility results when the rate reset (or repricing) characteristics of assets
are materially different from those of the Company's liabilities. Liquidity risk
results from the mismatching of asset and liability cash flows. Management
chooses asset/liability strategies that promote stable earnings and reliable
funding. Interest rate risk and funding positions are kept within limits
established by the Company's board of directors to ensure that risk-taking is
not excessive and that liquidity is properly managed.

The Company has established three measurement processes to quantify and manage
exposure to interest rate risk: net interest income simulation modeling, gap
analysis, and present value of equity analysis. Net interest income simulations
are used to identify the direction and severity of interest rate risk exposure
across a twelve month forecast horizon. Gap analysis provides insight into
structural mismatches of assets and liability repricing characteristics and
reflects the attrition and prepayment behavior of deposit and loan customers.
Present value of equity calculations are used to estimate the theoretical price
sensitivity of shareholder equity to changes in interest rates.

Generally, an asset sensitive gap indicates that net interest income will
improve during a period of rising interest rates. The gap report is based on the
contractual cash flows of all asset and liability balances on the Company's
books. The contractual life of those balances may differ substantially from
their expected lives however. For example, checking accounts are all subject to
immediate withdrawal. Experience suggests that these accounts will have an
average life of several years. Also, certain loans (such as first mortgages) are
subject to prepayment. The cash flows in the gap report are adjusted to reflect
these behaviors. The gap report also includes the effects that interest rate
swaps have had on the repricing profile of the Company.

                                      16

<PAGE>

The use of interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure involves the
risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms.
These counterparties must receive appropriate credit approval before the Company
enters into an interest rate contract. Notional principal amounts express the
volume of these transactions, although the amounts potentially subject to credit
and market risks are much smaller. At June 30, 1999, the Company's interest rate
swaps were entered into as hedges against a decrease in interest income
generated from prime based loans if the prime decreased or to convert fixed rate
deposits and debt into floating rate liabilities. The Company has not entered
into transactions involving any other interest rate derivative financial
instruments, such as interest rate floors, caps and interest rate futures
contracts.

At June 30, 1999, the one-year cumulative gap was a net liability position of
$(585.5) million (9% of total assets) compared with a net liability position
of $(407.0) million (6% of total assets) at December 31, 1998. The decrease
resulted from continuing interest rate risk mitigation activities and
relatively low holdings of short-term rate-sensitive assets. As of June 30,
1999, the Company has $945.0 million of notional principal in receive
fixed-pay LIBOR interest rate swaps, of which $515.0 million have maturities
greater than one year. The Company's interest-rate risk-management
instruments had a fair value of $(1.8) million and $6.4 million and an
exposure to credit risk of $0.7 million and $6.4 million at June 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, respectively. The credit exposure represents the cost to
replace, on a present value basis and at current market rates, the net
positive value of all contracts for each counterparty that were outstanding
at the end of the period. The Company's swap agreements require the deposit
of collateral to mitigate the amount of credit risk if certain credit
exposure thresholds are exceeded. As of June 30, 1999 the Company had
deposited $2.0 million par value in securities to mitigate credit exposure.

Since interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and
liabilities equally or simultaneously, a cumulative gap analysis alone cannot be
used to evaluate the Company's interest rate sensitivity position. To supplement
traditional gap analysis, the Company uses simulation modeling to estimate the
potential effects of changing interest rates. This process allows the Company to
fully explore the complex relationships within the gap over time and various
interest rate scenarios.

At June 30, 1999, the Company's outstanding foreign exchange contracts totaled
$25.6 million. The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts with its
customers and counterparty banks solely for the purpose of offsetting or hedging
transaction and economic exposures arising out of commercial transactions. The
Company's policies prohibit outright speculation by the Company and its
employees. The Company actively manages its foreign exchange exposures within
prescribed risk limits and controls. All foreign exchange contracts outstanding
at June 30, 1999 had remaining maturities of six months or less.


LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

The Company continues to manage its liquidity through the combination of core
deposits, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, collateralized
borrowing lines at the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of
San Francisco, and a portfolio of securities availabie-for-sale. Liquidity is
also provided by maturing investment securities and loans.

Average core deposits and shareholders' equity comprised 69.0% of total funding
in the second quarter of 1999, compared to 72.9% in the second quarter of 1998.
This decrease has required that the Company increase its use of more costly
alternative funding sources. Despite the decrease in percentage of funding
derived from core deposits and shareholders' equity, the Company has not faced
any liquidity constraints.

      CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF
              THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995


The Company wishes to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 as to "forward looking"
statements in this Quarterly Report which are not historical facts. The Company
cautions readers that the following important factors could affect the Company's
business and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company.

- --Economic conditions. The Company's results are strongly influenced by general
economic conditions in its market area, Southern California, and a deterioration
in these conditions could have a material adverse impact on the quality of the
Bank's loan portfolio and the demand for its products and services. In
particular, changes in economic conditions in the real estate and entertainment
industries may affect the Company's performance.

- --Interest rates. Management anticipates that interest rates will remain flat or
slightly higher. If interest rates vary substantially from present levels, this
may cause the Company's results to differ materially.

- --Government regulation and monetary policy. All forward looking statements
presume a continuation of the existing regulatory environment and U.S.
Government monetary policies. The banking industry is subject to extensive
federal and state regulations, and significant new laws or changes in, or repeal
of, existing laws may cause results to differ materially. Further, federal
monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve System,
significantly affects credit conditions for the Bank, primarily through open
market operations in U.S. Government securities, the discount rate for member
bank borrowing and bank reserve requirements, and a material change in these
policies would be likely to have an impact on results.

- --Competition. The Bank competes with numerous other domestic and foreign
financial institutions and non-depository financial intermediaries. Results may
differ if circumstances affecting the nature or level of competition change,
such as the merger of competing financial institutions.

- --Credit quality. A significant source of risk arises from the possibility that
losses will be sustained because borrowers, guarantors and related parties may
fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. The Bank has
adopted underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and credit policies,
including the establishment and review of the allowance for credit losses, that
management believes are appropriate to minimize this risk by assessing the
likelihood of nonperformance, tracking loan performance and diversifying the
Bank's credit portfolio, but such policies and procedures may not prevent
unexpected losses that could adversely affect the Company's results.

- --Other risks. From time to time, the Company details other risks to its
business and/or its financial results in its filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

While management believes that its assumptions regarding these and other factors
on which forward looking statements are based are reasonable, such assumptions
are necessarily speculative in nature, and actual outcomes can be expected to
differ to some degree. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the results
described in such forward looking statements will, in fact, be achieved.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS

         On April 21, 1999, the Registrant held its annual meeting of
         stockholders. The stockholders elected the four Class III directors
         listed in the Registrant's proxy statement; approved the Registrant's
         1999 Omnibus Plan and the reservation of 3,500,000 shares of Common
         Stock for issuance or delivery under the plan; and approved the
         Registrant's Variable Bonus Plan to enable bonuses paid thereunder to
         qualify as deductible, performance-based compensation under Section
         162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The following table sets forth
         the number of votes cast for, or withheld with respect to, each
         director nominated for election. Under applicable Delaware law, votes
         withheld have the same effect as votes cast against a nominee, and for
         this reason the ballot did not offer a separate opportunity to vote
         against a nominee. Additionally, the table sets forth the number of
         votes cast for or against the 1999 Omnibus Plan and the Variable Bonus
         Plan, as well as the number of abstentions. Broker non-votes were
         treated as not present at the meeting and had no effect.

                   FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


     This First Amendment to Employment Agreement is made and entered into as
of the 1st day of June, 1999, by and between Bram Goldsmith ("Goldsmith") on
the one hand, and City National Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("CNC")
and City National Bank, a national banking association ("CNB"), with
reference to the following:

     A.  Goldsmith, CNC and CNB are parties to that certain Employment
Agreement ("Agreement") dated as of March 18,1998.

     B.  Goldsmith, CNC and CNB wish to amend the Agreement, to insure that
Goldsmith's maximum compensation, with respect to any one fiscal year of CNB
and CNC, shall not exceed $925,000.

     NOW, THEREFORE, Goldsmith, CNC and CNB hereby agree as follows:

     (1)  The period following the first sentence of Section 5, "INCENTIVE
BONUS", of the Agreement shall be deleted and the following shall be added
following the word "Committee":

          ", but in no event shall the total amount paid to Mr. Goldsmith
pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 of this Agreement with respect to any one fiscal
year of CNC and CNB exceed $925,000. The parties hereto recognize that
incentive bonuses paid by CNB for services rendered during a fiscal year are
generally paid during the first quarter of the fiscal year following the
fiscal year in which such services were performed. In such event, the annual
compensation paid to Goldsmith with respect to each fiscal year pursuant to
Section 4 of the Agreement, will be added to the incentive bonus paid in the



<PAGE>

following fiscal year, for purposes of calculating whether the $925,000 limit
has been reached."

     (2)  Section 6, "LIFE INSURANCE", of the Agreement shall be deleted and
replaced by the following:

          "6. LIFE INSURANCE. CNB has previously provided Goldsmith with a
whole life insurance policy on the joint lives of Goldsmith and Mrs. Elaine
Goldsmith in an insured amount of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) (the
"Joint Policy"). The Joint Policy is owned by the Goldsmith 1980 Life
Insurance Trust ("Trust"). The Joint Policy, or the proceeds thereof, and
possession of the Joint Policy and all rights therein, including the right to
designate the beneficiary, shall be vested completely in the Trust; provided
however, that CNB shall be entitled to receive from the proceeds of such
Joint Policy a sum equal to the aggregate amount of premiums, without
interest, paid by CNB on account of said Joint Policy pursuant to the terms
of the Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement, as amended, and Collateral
Assignment of Policy attached hereto and marked as Exhibit A.

          Furthermore, pursuant to the Seventh Amendment to the Split Dollar
Life Insurance Agreement, CNB shall pay an annual premium for the Joint
Policy for each year while either Goldsmith or Mrs. Elaine Goldsmith is then
living, in an amount equal to the greater of Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000)
or an amount necessary to maintain a then current death benefit for the Joint
Policy of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000), whichever amount is greater.
CNB hereby acknowledges that, as of the date of this Amendment to the
Employment Agreement, CNB has paid premiums with respect to the Joint Policy,
including premiums paid for the Connecticut General Policy and subsequently
applied to the Joint Policy, totaling Six Hundred Thousand Eight Hundred
Forty-Two Dollars ($600,842)."


                                      -2-

     Except as otherwise set forth, the Agreement remains in full force and

Amendment as of the date and year first set forth above.

          SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO SPLIT DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE AGREEMENT
                          COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT PLAN


     This Seventh Amendment to Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement
Collateral Assignment Plan is made and entered into as of the 1st day of
June, 1999 by and between The Goldsmith 1980 Insurance Trust (the "Trust")
and City National Bank, a national banking association ("CNB") with reference
to the following:

     A.  The Trust and CNB are parties to that certain Split Dollar Life
Insurance Agreement Collateral Assignment Plan dated as of June 15, 1980 as
amended to date (the "Agreement"), by which the Trust granted CNB certain
rights with respect to a personal life insurance policy owned by the Trust
insuring the life of Bram Goldsmith.

     B.  Pursuant to the Third Amendment to the Agreement, dated as of
December 19, 1990, the Trust and CNB agreed to replace the insurance policy
then in effect, issued by Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (the
"Connecticut General Policy"), with a policy insuring the joint lives of Bram
Goldsmith and Elaine Goldsmith issued by Transamerica Occidental Life
Insurance Co. (the "Joint Policy"), by surrendering the Connecticut General
Policy to the insurer and applying the cash surrender value therefrom to the
premium paid for the Joint Policy. The Third Amendment to the Agreement
further provided that any premium for the Joint Policy in excess of the cash
surrender value of the Connecticut General Policy would be paid by the Trust,
provided that CNB could pay such premiums if the Trust failed to do so.

     C.  As of the date of this Seventh Amendment, CNB has paid premiums with
respect to the Joint Policy, including premiums paid for the Connecticut
General Policy and subsequently applied to the Joint Policy, totaling
$600,842.



<PAGE>

     D.  The Trust and CNB wish to further amend the Agreement to insure that
effective as of the date of the Seventh Amendment, CNB shall be obligated to
pay additional annual premiums for the Joint Policy in an amount equal to the
greater of Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000) each year of the amount of
premium required each year to maintain a death benefit on the Joint Policy of
Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) for as long as either Bram Goldsmith or
Elaine Goldsmith is then living.

     NOW, THEREFORE, CNB and the Trust hereby agree as follows:

     The second sentence of Section 1. of the Third Amendment to the
Agreement which begins with the words "Any premium" and ends with the words
"sole discretion" is hereby deleted and the following language is hereby
inserted in its place:

     "Effective June 1, 1999, CNB shall pay an annual premium for the Joint
Policy for each year while either Bram Goldsmith or Elaine Goldsmith is then
living, in an amount equal to the greater of Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000)
or an amount necessary to maintain a then current death benefit for the Joint
Policy of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000), whichever amount is greater.
The Trust and CNB hereby acknowledge that as of the date of this Seventh
Amendment, CNB has paid premiums with respect to the Joint Policy, including
premiums paid for the Connecticut General Policy and subsequently applied to
the Joint Policy, totaling Six Hundred Thousand Eight Hundred Forty-Two
Dollars ($600,842)."

     Except as otherwise set forth above, the Agreement, as amended to date,
remains in full force and effect according to its terms.
