Settlement Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.10 
 SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT 
 This Settlement Agreement is made and entered into this sixth day of August,
2008, at Los Angeles, California, by and between Korea Export Insurance Corporation, a Korean corporation established by the Government of Korea (KEIC), and Center Bank, formerly known as California Center Bank, a California banking corporation
(Center Bank), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Center Financial Corporation (“CFC”). KEIC and Center Bank agree as follows: 
 I. RECITALS 
 A. KEIC is an export credit agency of the Government of Korea, with its headquarters in Seoul, Korea. Center
Bank is a California banking corporation, with its headquarters in Los Angeles, California. 
 B. On or about February 25, 2003, KEIC
filed a first amended complaint in the Orange County Superior Court, styled as “KEIC vs. Korea Data Systems (USA), Inc., et al.,” Case No. 02CC06589 (“the Orange County Action”) whereby KEIC asserted causes of action against
Center Bank for alleged negligence and negligent misrepresentation arising out of Center Bank’s handling of bill of exchange collection transactions for ten separate Korean banks insured by KEIC. The Orange County action was filed by KEIC as a
subrogation action for the recovery of losses sustained by the Korean banks following KEIC’s payment of insurance claims made by the Korean banks. 
 C. The Orange County action was filed by KEIC relating to insured losses of approximately $63 million relating to 167 bills of exchange issued by Korea Data Systems Co., Ltd., a Korean corporation (KDS-Korea). These
167 bills of exchange variously listed as drawees five different California companies that purportedly were purchasing computer monitors from KDS-Korea. 
 D. The Orange County Action was filed by KEIC against five defendants, including Korea Data Systems (USA), Inc. (KDS-USA); Center Bank; Arsys Innotech Corporation (Arsys); Princeton Graphic Systems (Princeton); and
Waffer International Corporation (Waffer). 
 E. KEIC has pending claims against KDS-USA in the Orange County action for
(1) approximately $7.5 million owed by KDS-USA on 17 bills of exchange accepted under its own name, and (2) approximately $56 million for fraudulent concealment relating to its conduct with respect to the processing for collection of the
remaining 150 bills of exchange for which the drawees were Arsys, Princeton, Waffer and Memtek Products, Inc. (Memtek), respectively. 
 F.
KEIC has a pending claim against Arsys for approximately $10.4 million in the Orange County Action for payment owed on 28 bills of exchange. 
 G. KEIC previously asserted claims against Princeton and Waffer in the Orange County Action but those claims have become moot due to the prior filing of bankruptcy petitions by those entities. 

 H. The Orange County Action has given rise to various pending cross-complaints, and Center Bank is either
a cross-complainant or a cross-defendant in various of those cross-actions. KEIC is not a party to any of the cross-complaints. 
 I. On or
about December 28, 2005, KEIC also filed an action against Center Bank, KDS-USA and Arsys in the United States District Court, Central District of California, Southern Division, styled as “Korea Export Insurance Corporation v. Center Bank,
et al.,” USDC Case No. SACV05-1270 AHS (ANx) (“the Federal Action”). The Federal Action was filed as a duplicative lawsuit to the Orange County action as a result of jurisdictional issues raised with respect to the Orange County
Action. In December 2006, the California Court of Appeal issued a decision declaring that the Orange County Superior Court had jurisdiction over the KEIC claims against Center Bank. Accordingly, on February 5, 2007 the Federal Action was
stayed. The stay order is currently in effect. 
 J. The purpose of this Settlement Agreement is to resolve once and for all time the claims
that KEIC has asserted against Center Bank in the Orange County Action and the Federal Action. Pursuant to this Settlement Agreement, KEIC is making an assignment to Center Bank of its pending claims against KDS-USA and Arsys, and it is therefore
contemplated that Center Bank will continue to pursue those assigned claims and that it also may be engaged in ongoing litigation with respect to one or more cross-complaints in the Orange County Action and the Federal Action. 
 II. CONSIDERATION 
 Pursuant to
and in furtherance of this Settlement Agreement, KEIC and Center Bank mutually promise to provide consideration to each other as follows: 
  

	 	A.	The following consideration shall be provided to KEIC by Center Bank: 

 Payment of cash and stock having a total value of $10.5 million pursuant to the following requirements: 
  

	 	1.	Total cash consideration shall be $6.5 million. 

  

	 	2.	Payment in stocks shall be made by shares of common stock of CFC having a value of $4.0 million. 

  

	 	B.	Center Bank’s $6.5 million cash payment shall be made as follows: 

  

	 	1.	The sum of $2 million shall be paid to KEIC within 10 days of the date of signing this Settlement Agreement; 

  

	 	2.	An additional sum of $1 million shall be paid to KEIC no later than one year following the due date of the initial payment described in B.1 above; 

  

 2 

	 	3.	A second additional sum of $1 million shall be paid to KEIC no later than two years following the due date of the initial payment described in paragraph B.1 above;

  

	 	4.	A final cash installment payment of $2.5 million shall be paid to KEIC no later than three years following the due date of the initial payment described in paragraph B.1, provided,
however, that Center Bank may defer making this last $2.5 million cash payment, or some portion of it, for up to a maximum period of an additional two years during which time the said payment obligation of Center Bank on such unpaid balance shall
bear interest as specified below. 

  

	 	5.	The interest to be paid by Center Bank to KEIC upon Center Bank’s election to defer payment of the cash installment of $2.5 million, or some portion thereof, pursuant to
paragraph II(B)(4) above, shall be a simple per annum interest rate calculated as one half of the sum of Center Bank’s one year term certificate of deposit interest rate and KEIC’s fund yield rate, as disclosed on KEIC’s internet
homepage, for the prior ending fiscal year. 

  

	 	6.	All cash payments by Center Bank shall be in U. S. Dollars. If any payment is remitted in Korean Won, the exchange rate for conversion of U.S. Dollars to Korean Won will be the
market average rate in the Korean currency market on the date prior to the date that Center Bank remits its payment to KEIC. Cash payments by Center Bank in US Dollars should be made to KEIC’s account at Kookmin Bank, account number
001568-03-100696, bank cord CZNBKRSE, or such other bank account as directed by KEIC. Payments in Korean Won should be made to KEIC’s account at Kookmin Bank, account number 344-04-0001-541, or such other bank account as directed by KEIC.

  

	 	C.	Center Bank’s Common Stock Payment 

  

	 	1.	Within fifteen days after the date of signing this Settlement Agreement, Center Bank shall deliver to KEIC shares of CFC common stock having a value of $4 million (the
“Shares”). The Shares will be issued by CFC pursuant to a private placement of securities and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Shares will be restricted securities under the
federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being issued by CFC in a transaction not involving a public offering and under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act, only in limited
circumstances. In this connection, KEIC represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act. 

  

	 	 2.
	 The price of the Shares delivered to KEIC pursuant to this Settlement Agreement shall be the average closing price of
CFC’s common stock over the last thirty calendar days from July 3rd, 2008 to August 1st, 2008, which is $9.63. 

  

 3 

	 	3.	With respect to the Shares provided to KEIC pursuant to this Settlement Agreement, KEIC shall not transfer any of the Shares for a period of one year following issuance of the
Shares by CFC. This one year holding period for the Shares includes the six month holding period under SEC Rule 144 in connection with the resale of restricted stock of a reporting issuer by a non-affiliate. 

  

	 	4.	KEIC shall exercise in good faith the voting rights represented by KEIC’s stock ownership in accordance with the voting recommendations of the Board of Directors of CFC. This
voting agreement will be in effect for a one year period after the Shares are issued to KEIC. The voting agreement will not apply to subsequent holders who acquire the Shares from KEIC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

  

	 	5.	Center Bank agrees that it will promptly provide an opinion of counsel for resales made by KEIC of the Shares pursuant to Rule 144. 

  

	 	6.	If KEIC conducts a block sale of more than 50,000 Shares within any 30 day period to a third party that is not a sale in the public stock market (subject to compliance with all
federal and state securities laws), KEIC must provide advance notice of the sale(s) to Center Bank. Such third party sale(s) must be set forth in written agreements with the price(s) pre-settled before the transaction date. The notice to Center Bank
must include relevant information about the sale(s) such as the proposed date of the sale(s), the identity of the buyer(s), the number of Shares to be sold, and the price(s). Notwithstanding the above, if any of the written agreements with the third
party purchaser(s) require confidentiality regarding the terms of the sale, KEIC shall not be required to provide notice of the sale or any of its terms to Center Bank. 

  

	 	D.	KEIC shall provide consideration to Center Bank for this Settlement Agreement as follows: 

  

	 	1.	Forthwith upon execution of this Settlement Agreement KEIC shall dismiss with prejudice its First Amended Complaint on file in the Orange County Action as against Center Bank only.

  

	 	2.	KEIC shall enter into a separate stipulation and agreement with Center Bank to request a dismissal with prejudice, as to Center Bank only, in the Federal Action described in
paragraph I(I) above, with both parties bearing their own respective costs and attorneys’ fees incurred therein. 

  

	 	3.	KEIC shall, and does hereby, assign to Center Bank all of its known and unknown rights and claims as against KDS-USA and Arsys, including those rights and claims that have been or
could have been asserted in the Orange County Action or in the Federal Action described herein, including all rights as against any affiliated or non-affiliated person or entity who may be liable for the conduct of KDS-USA and/or Arsys,
respectively, as to the assigned claims. In furtherance of this assignment, KEIC shall execute a separate notice of assignment, as reasonably necessary and appropriate, to allow Center Bank to pursue the assigned claims. 

  

 4 

	 	4.	With respect to the assigned claims described in paragraph II(D)(3) above, KEIC shall cooperate with Center Bank by producing witnesses and documents in response to litigation
discovery requests and as otherwise reasonably requested by Center Bank to prosecute the claims in a trial or other proceeding, such as an arbitration hearing or mediation. KEIC shall also provide documents and witnesses, as reasonably requested by
Center Bank, in response to requests for evidence by Center Bank in connection with Center Bank’s ongoing litigation relating to the cross-complaints in the Orange County Action, including with respect to the cross-complaints involving the
Korean negotiating banks. It is expressly agreed and understood that KEIC’s duty of cooperation as set forth in this paragraph is conditioned upon Center Bank’s tender to KEIC of payment for all actual expenses as reasonably may be
incurred and/or are to be incurred by KEIC in providing such cooperation. 

  

	 	5.	With respect to the assigned claims described in paragraph II(D)(3) above, KEIC makes no representation or warranty whatsoever as to the viability and/or enforceability of said
claims, and in this respect, Center Bank assumes for itself all such risks as may be associated therewith in pursuing said assigned claims. 

  

	 	6.	Center Bank may continue to prosecute the Orange County Action and/or the Federal Action in the name of KEIC, at its discretion. It is expressly agreed and understood, however, that
Center Bank is solely responsible for all further costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Center Bank with respect to the prosecution of said assigned claims immediately upon the execution of this Settlement Agreement, and it is further expressly
agreed and understood that immediately upon the signing of this Settlement Agreement Center Bank shall be solely responsible to retain, appoint and compensate its own attorneys to prosecute the assigned claims. 

 III. RELEASE BY KEIC 
  

	 	A.	In consideration of all promises and agreements recited herein, KEIC does hereby release, acquit and forever discharge Center Bank and its attorneys, agents, employees, directors,
personal representatives, successors or predecessors-in-interest, of and from any and all actions, claims, demands, costs, expenses and compensation, on account of, or in any way growing out of, any economic damage or financial loss or damage,
including any and all tangible and non-tangible damage whatsoever, relating to or resulting from or by reason of the conduct of said releasees and each of them occurring at any time prior hereto, the facts of which, in whole or in part, are alleged
in the Orange County Action and in the Federal Action described above. 

  

 5 

	 	B.	It is understood and acknowledged that the claims of KEIC as are hereby being released are derivative of the claims of ten Korean negotiating banks from whom KEIC has acquired its
right to assert the above-mentioned claims by virtue of express assignment and/or equitable subrogation rights. It is further understood and acknowledged that the said ten Korean negotiating banks, namely, Korea Exchange Bank; Hana Bank; Citibank
Korea, successor-in-interest and/or formerly known as KorAm Bank; Industrial Bank of Korea; Kookmin Bank, on its own behalf and as successor-in-interest by merger to H&CB Bank; SC First Bank, successor-in-interest and/or formerly known as Korea
First Bank; Pusan Bank; Shinhan Bank; and Daegu Bank; are parties to the Orange County Action and the Federal Action by virtue of cross-complaints and cross-actions asserted therein whereby the said ten Korean negotiating banks and/or one or more of
them, on the one hand, and Center Bank, on the other hand, are in an adversarial relationship whereby all of said parties are asserting claims in the said litigation, including for damages and/or recovery of litigation costs and expenses. In
connection therewith, it is expressly agreed and understood that this release by KEIC of Center Bank is not intended to and does not extend to or in any way apply to any claim by any of the ten Korean negotiating banks identified in this paragraph
as asserted by said banks in the Orange County Action and/or the Federal Action. 

  

	 	C.	With respect to the release set forth in paragraph III(A) above, KEIC acknowledges and agrees that it is waiving all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil
Code, which provides as follows: 

 “CERTAIN CLAIMS NOT AFFECTED BY GENERAL RELEASE – A general release does not
extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release which, if known by him, must have materially affected his settlement with debtor.” 
 IV. OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
  

	 	A.	KEIC and Center Bank agree to use good faith efforts to develop a mutually beneficial business relationship and to cooperate, as opportunities provide, in developing future business
opportunities. 

  

	 	B.	The parties hereto understand and agree that this is a release and settlement of disputed claims and that no admission of liability is made by any party by virtue of entering into
this Settlement Agreement, and that, in fact, any and all such liability is expressly repudiated and denied. 

  

	 	C.	Except as otherwise potentially may be required of Center Bank pursuant to paragraph II(D)(4) above (with respect to payment to KEIC of reasonable expenses relating to its providing
of cooperation to Center Bank in connection with assigned claims), the parties agree, as between themselves only, to each bear all of their own expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the Orange County Action and the Federal
Action.

transferred to Center Bank pursuant to this Settlement Agreement.

 8Stock Purchase Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.11 
 STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 This Stock Purchase Agreement is made as of August 6, 2008, by and
between Center Bank, a California banking corporation (“Center Bank”); Center Financial Corporation, a California corporation which owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Center Bank (“CFC”); and Korea
Export Insurance Corporation, a Korean corporation established by the Government of Korea (“KEIC”), with reference to the following: 
 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, Center Bank and KEIC have entered into a Settlement Agreement of even date herewith (the
“Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Center Bank has agreed to deliver to KEIC shares of the authorized but unissued common stock of CFC, as set forth herein; 
 WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to provide for the issuance and sale of such shares by CFC to KEIC in accordance with the terms hereof; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. On August 21, 2008, at 10:00 A.M. Pacific Time, or on such other date and time as the parties hereto shall mutually agree (the “Closing Date”), for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, CFC shall issue and sell to KEIC, 415,369 shares of its authorized but unissued common stock (the “Settlement Shares”). The closing of the issuance and sale of the Settlement Shares (the “Closing”)
will take place at the offices of Center Bank at 3435 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 700, Los Angeles, California 90010. At the Closing CFC will deliver to KEIC a certificate or certificates representing all of the Settlement Shares registered in the
name “Korea Export Insurance Corporation.” 
 2. KEIC acknowledges that the Settlement Shares are not being and will not be
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction; that the Settlement Shares are being offered and will be sold in reliance on exemptions
from the registration requirements thereof, which reliance is predicated in part on the acknowledgements, agreements and representations of KEIC in this Agreement; and that CFC does not contemplate filing and is not legally required to effect any
such registration. KEIC further acknowledges that the Settlement Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available; and KEIC represents that it is
familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and under the Securities Act. CFC covenants and agrees that upon receipt of notice of a sale of the
Settlement Shares to be made by KEIC in compliance with Rule 144, and receipt of all documentation which CFC’s counsel deems reasonably necessary to evidence compliance with Rule 144, it will promptly provide, or cause to be provided, an
opinion of counsel to its transfer agent, with respect to such proposed sale. 
  

 1 

 3. KEIC acknowledges that it heretofore has received, or CFC or Center Bank has given KEIC access to, or
advised KEIC how to access, all such information concerning CFC or Center Bank as KEIC deems necessary or appropriate to enable it to evaluate the business and financial merits and risks inherent in an investment in the Settlement Shares, including,
but not limited to, the documents set forth in Schedule A annexed hereto. KEIC represents that it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in
the Settlement Shares, and that it is able to bear the risks of such investment. KEIC acknowledges that investment in the Settlement Shares involves substantial risks. KEIC represents that it is able to hold the Settlement Shares for an indefinite
period of time; that it has adequate means, other than the Settlement Shares, of providing for its current and foreseeable needs; that it has no foreseeable need to sell or otherwise dispose of the Settlement Shares; and that it has sufficient net
worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Settlement Shares in the event such loss should occur. 
 4. KEIC represents that it
is entering into this Agreement and is acquiring the Settlement Shares solely for its account; that the Shares are being acquired for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof; and that it has no
present intention of selling or distributing any of the Settlement Shares. KEIC agrees that it will not sell, distribute, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of the Settlement Shares in such a manner as will violate the
Securities Act or any applicable rules or regulations thereunder or any other federal securities laws, any federal banking laws or the securities or banking laws of any state or other jurisdiction. 
 5. CFC and Center Bank jointly or severally represent and warrant to KEIC that: 
 (i) CFC is a California corporation, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California. 
 (ii) Center Bank is a California banking corporation, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California.

 (iii) Each of Center Bank and CFC has all power and authority necessary to enable it to enter into this Agreement and carry
out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All actions necessary to authorize each of Center Bank and CFC to enter into this Agreement and carry out the transactions contemplated by each of them have been taken. This Agreement has been
duly executed by each of Center Bank and CFC and is a valid and binding agreement of each of Center Bank and CFC, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms. 
 (iv) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or of any document to be delivered in accordance with this Agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by any document to be delivered in accordance with this Agreement will violate, result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or
both, would constitute a default) under the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of either Center Bank or CFC, or under any agreement or instrument to which either Center Bank or CFC is a party or by which either is bound, under any law, or any
order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or other regulatory organization having jurisdiction over either Center Bank or CFC. 
  

 2 

 (v) No governmental filings, authorizations, approvals or consents, or other governmental
action, are required to permit either Center Bank or CFC to fulfill all its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (vi) The
Settlement Shares, when issued as provided for in this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued, full paid and non-assessable. 
 6. KEIC
represents and warrants to CFC and Center Bank that: 
 (i) KEIC is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was formed. 
 (ii) KEIC has all power and authority necessary to
enable it to enter into this Agreement and carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All actions necessary to authorize KEIC to enter into this Agreement and carry out the transactions contemplated by it have been taken. This
Agreement has been duly executed by KEIC and is a valid and binding agreement of KEIC, enforceable against KEIC in accordance with its terms. 
 (iii) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or of any document to be delivered in accordance with this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by any
document to be delivered in accordance with this Agreement will violate, result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under the organizational and governing
documents of KEIC, or under any agreement or instrument to which KEIC is a party or by which it is bound, or under any law, or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or other regulatory organization having jurisdiction
over KEIC. 
 (iv) No governmental filings, authorizations, approvals or consents, or other governmental action, are required
to permit KEIC to fulfill all its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (v) For a period of one year from and after the Closing
Date, KEIC will not sell, transfer, assign, convey, encumber or dispose of any of the Settlement Shares or of any securities which may be paid as a dividend or otherwise distributed thereon or with respect thereto or issued or delivered in exchange
or substitution therefore (collectively, the “KEIC Shares”). 
 (vi) With respect to any proposed offer and
sale of 50,000 or more shares of the common stock of CFC in any offer and sale other than a registered public offering or a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (a “Block Sale”), KEIC will give CFC prior written notice of such proposed Block
Sale, which notice shall include the proposed sale date, the name of the buyer(s), the number of shares of common stock of CFC proposed to be sold by KEIC, the purchase price of such shares and any other material terms with respect to the proposed
Block Sale. Notwithstanding the above, if any of the written agreements with the third party purchaser(s) require confidentiality regarding the terms of the sale, KEIC shall not be required to provide notice of the sale or any of its terms to Center
Bank. 
 (vii) For a period of one year from and after the Closing Date, at any meeting of shareholders of CFC, or at any
adjournment thereof, or any other circumstances upon which KEIC’s vote, consent, or other approval is sought as a shareholder of CFC, KEIC will vote (or cause to be voted) all of the KEIC Shares in accordance with the recommendation of the
Board of Directors of 

  

 3 

 
CFC; provided, however, that if KEIC in good faith determines that voting the KEIC Shares in accordance with the recommendation of the CFC Board of Directors
would endanger or impair any significant proprietary interest of KEIC, then KEIC may notify CFC of its determination not to vote the KEIC shares in accordance with the CFC Board recommendation (“Impairment Determination”). Such
notice of Impairment Determination shall indicate the nature and amount of any proprietary interest of KEIC that may be impaired by the CFC Board recommendation and such notice must be given by KEIC to CFC within 10 days following KEIC’s
receipt of the notice of meeting, or within 10 days from the date of receipt by KEIC of the request for written consent or other approval. 
 7. KEIC acknowledges and agrees that the certificate(s) representing the KEIC Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form: 
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED OR HYPOTHECATED WITHOUT PRIOR REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE ISSUER.” 
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN VOTING AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN A STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG CENTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION, CENTER BANK AND KOREA EXPORT
INSURANCE CORPORATION DATED AUGUST 6, 2008, A COPY OF WHICH AGREEMENT IS ON FILE WITH THE ISSUER. ALL VOTING AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS UNDER THE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT WILL TERMINATE ON AUGUST 21, 2009.” 
 KEIC acknowledges and agrees that CFC may place stop orders on the certificates evidencing the KEIC Shares with its transfer agent to the same effect as the above
legend. 
 8. KEIC acknowledges and agrees that CFC and Center Bank could not be made whole by monetary damages in the event of any default
by the undersigned of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed and understood that each of CFC and Center Bank, in addition to any other remedy which it may have at law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and specific performance to enforce the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any state or federal court having appropriate jurisdiction located in California.

 9. In any action brought to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the
other party all of its attorney’s fees and expenses reasonably incurred in the prosecution and/or defense of any such action. 
 10. Any
term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering unenforceable the remaining terms and
provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be
interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. 
  

 4
