<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B><I>EXPLANATORY NOTE</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On July&nbsp;19, 2001, Middlefield Banc Corp. filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, file number 333-65432, to register 153,932 shares of common
stock (as adjusted for stock dividends), no par value, for issuance under the 1999 Stock Option
Plan. Subsequently, Middlefield Banc Corp.&#146;s shareholders approved a new plan, the 2007 Omnibus
Equity Plan, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May&nbsp;14, 2008. The 2007 Omnibus Equity Plan
reserves 160,000 shares of common stock for issuance, which includes shares reserved for issuance
under the 1999 Stock Option Plan. As a result of the adoption of the 2007 Omnibus Equity Plan, no
further awards will be made under the 1999 Stock Option Plan on or after May&nbsp;14, 2008, but will
instead be made under the 2007 Omnibus Equity Plan. Further, the number of shares that remained
available for grant under the 1999 Stock Option Plan as of May&nbsp;14, 2008, and any shares that
otherwise would have been returned to the 1999 Stock Option Plan after May&nbsp;14, 2008, on account of
the expiration, cancellation, or forfeiture of awards granted thereunder, are to be included in the
reserve of shares available for issuance under the 2007 Omnibus Equity Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This registration statement on Form S-8 registers 160,000 shares of Middlefield Banc Corp.&#146;s
common stock, no par value, which may be issued under the 2007 Omnibus Equity Plan. The 160,000
shares of common stock being registered under this Form S-8 are comprised of the following: (i)
65,271 unissued and unused shares of common stock previously registered for issuance under the
Company&#146;s 1999 Stock Option Plan, which shares are being carried forward into the 2007 Omnibus
Equity Plan and (ii)&nbsp;an additional 94,279 shares of common stock not previously registered.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Concurrently, Middlefield Banc Corp. is also filing a Post-Effective Amendment to the previous
Form S-8 to deregister the 65,271 unissued and unused shares of common stock previously registered
for issuance under the 1999 Stock Option Plan. Upon any future expiration, cancellation, or
forfeiture of awards previously granted under the 1999 Stock Option Plan, Middlefield Banc Corp.
intends to periodically file additional post-effective amendment(s) to its previous Form S-8 in
order to carry forward such shares from the 1999 Stock Option Plan to the 2007 Omnibus Equity Plan
for issuance thereunder.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>provided, however</I>, that paragraphs A(1)(i) and A(1)(ii) do not apply if the information

Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the

the initial <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Gentlemen:

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Middlefield Banc Corp., an Ohio corporation, intends to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 a Form S-8 registration statement for the offer and
sale of up to 160,000 shares of Middlefield Banc Corp. common stock, without par value. The shares
may be issued from time to time under the 2007 Omnibus Equity Plan of Middlefield Banc Corp.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You have requested our opinion in connection with Middlefield Banc Corp.&#146;s filing of the Form
S-8 registration statement. We examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true copies, of all records, agreements,
certificates of officers, and other documents as we deemed necessary to render the opinions
expressed in this letter. In our examination, we assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified or photostatic copies. We assumed Middlefield Banc Corp. will remain in good standing as
an Ohio corporation at all times when shares of its common stock are issued under the terms of the
2007 Omnibus Equity Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the basis of and in reliance on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of
Middlefield Banc Corp. common stock to be issued under the 2007 Omnibus Equity Plan will, when and
if issued in accordance with the terms of the plan, be legally issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This opinion is solely for your information and is not to be quoted in whole or in part or
otherwise referred to, nor is it to be filed with any governmental agency or other person without
our prior written consent. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Form S-8 registration statement of Middlefield Banc Corp.
