Bridge Bank Client Mariah Power and Its Windspire(R) Wind Turbine to Be Featured on ABC's "20/20" June 19

Market Wire, June, 2009

Bridge Capital Holdings (NASDAQ: BBNK), whose subsidiary is Bridge Bank, National Association, a full-service business bank headquartered in the Silicon Valley region of California, announced today, that on Friday, June 19, 2009, ABC's "20/20" will feature the Windspire® Wind Turbine on a one-hour special episode.

When the producers of ABC's "20/20" began research on a special episode about the impact of the current economy, they searched for companies that were adapting their old business models to better operate in the new economy. They found a perfect example in Manistee, Michigan at the newly opened Windspire® Wind Turbine factory ( www.mariahpower.com ); a former auto parts automation facility run by MasTech Manufacturing that was retrofitted to produce Windspires after nearly closing operations due to the crisis in the automotive industry. The one-hour special episode is scheduled to air Friday, June 19th at 10:00 p.m. Pacific time on ABC.

"Less than a year ago I had to lay-off almost all of our workers because of the situation in the auto industry," said MasTech General Manager, John Holcomb. "It was an amazing feeling to call some of them back in when Mariah Power agreed to produce their Windspires here."

Bridge Bank provides Mariah Power with its state-of-the-art cash and treasury management services to ensure maximum usage of the company's cash flow. The Bank is also working collaboratively with the company's management to position Mariah Power with the necessary resources to support its projected growth.

The 30,000 square-foot facility began operation in April 2009, with 30 new employees and will produce 100 Windspire® Wind Turbines per month with the number potentially growing to 1,000 Windspires a month and 120 employees. Materials for the Windspire®, such as steel and aluminum, will be supplied by local Michigan companies. Mariah Power markets the Windspire® to homeowners, businesses, local governments and institutions.

"All of the skills and experience we need to build the Windspire® are right here in Manistee, Michigan," said Mariah Power CEO Mike Hess. "We worked with MasTech to change their business model from a focus on automotive to renewable energy and are overjoyed that a news program like "20/20" is going to share our story of adaptation and innovation with the rest of the country."

Inclusion in the "20/20" program continues the Windspire® Wind Turbine's recent market momentum, which included an installation on the season finale of ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" and being added to the California Energy Commission's list of eligible wind turbines resulting in a $3,000 rebate in California, Nevada, Maryland, Arizona, and other soon to be named states.

The Windspire® is a 30-foot tall, propeller-free, vertical-axis wind turbine designed for harnessing wind power in urban, suburban, and rural locations. It is the most affordable alternative energy appliance in the 1 kilowatt range, starting at $6,500 before installation and the federal small wind tax credit. The unit's powerful, trim and sleek design enables it to blend in well with a variety of environments, making it an attractive alternative energy option for homeowners, businesses, and institutions. Windspire's plug 'n produce(TM) design connects directly to the household power supply, offsetting electricity use and reducing energy costs.

"We are very pleased and excited to be working with Mariah Power," said Daniel P. Myers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bridge Capital Holdings and Bridge Bank. "Bridge has been an active supporter of Green companies in their efforts to maximize their cash flow, particularly in these challenging economic times. We congratulate Mike Hess and his team for bringing new jobs and hope to the people in that community."
