Re: Separation Agreement

Dear Hank:

This letter sets forth the terms of the separation agreement (the “Agreement”) that Onyx
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is offering to you to facilitate your separation from the
Company:

     1. Separation Date. Your last day of work with the Company and your employment
termination date, will be December 1, 2008 (the “Separation Date”). On the Separation Date, the
Company will pay you all accrued salary, and all accrued and unused vacation earned through the
Separation Date, subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. You are entitled to
these payments by law. After the Separation Date, you agree to provide reasonable assistance to
the Company in transitioning your job duties as part of this Agreement and in partial exchange for
the Separation Benefits set forth herein.

     2. Separation Benefits. If you timely sign this Agreement, and allow the releases
contained herein to become effective, then the Company will provide you with the following
separation benefits (the “Separation Benefits”):

          (a) Separation Payment. The Company will make a single lump-sum payment to you equal to
twelve (12) months of your current base salary, less required payroll deductions and
withholdings. This payment will be made on the Company’s first ordinary payroll date following
the Effective Date of this Agreement (as defined in Section 8 herein).

          (b) Health Insurance. As provided by the federal COBRA law and comparable state
insurance laws (collectively, “COBRA”), and by the Company’s current group health insurance
policies, you will be eligible to continue your current group health insurance benefits at your
own expense for a period of time following the Separation Date and, later, to convert to an
individual policy if you wish. You will be provided with a separate notice of your COBRA rights
and obligations on or after the Separation Date. If you timely elect continued coverage under
COBRA, as part of this Agreement, the Company will reimburse your COBRA premiums (including the
cost of dependent coverage, if applicable) sufficient to continue your current level of health
insurance coverage for a period of twelve (12) months from the Separation Date provided that you
remain eligible for COBRA coverage.

          (c) Extended Exercisability of Stock Options. You shall have six (6) months following the
Separation Date in which to exercise any outstanding stock options, but in no event shall such
period exceed the later of: (i) the maximum term of the stock option as set forth in the stock
option agreement, or (ii) ten (10) years from the date of grant of the stock option. You
understand and agree that this change in exercise period may affect the tax treatment of any
such stock options and you should consult with your own tax advisor as to any such change. The
Company makes no representations to you regarding the tax consequences of this extended exercise
period.

     3. Other Compensation or Benefits. You acknowledge that, except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, you have not earned and will not receive from the Company any
additional compensation, including but not limited to salary or bonuses, severance or employee
benefits during your continued employment or after the Separation Date. You acknowledge and agree
that you are not eligible for any bonus compensation for 2008.

     4. Proprietary Information Obligations.  You acknowledge and reaffirm your
obligations under your Proprietary Information, Inventions and Non-Solicitation Agreement, a copy
of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     5. Return of Company Property. You agree to return to the Company, within seven (7)
days after the Separation Date, all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other property
of the Company in your possession or control. You agree that you will make a diligent and timely
search to locate any such documents, property and information. In addition, if you have used any
personally owned computer, server, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit
any Company confidential or proprietary data, materials or information, then you agree to provide
the Company, no later than seven (7) days after the Separation Date, with a computer-useable copy
of all such information and then permanently delete and expunge such Company confidential or
proprietary information from those systems without retaining any reproductions (in whole or in
part); and you agree to provide the Company access to your system as requested to verify that the
necessary copying and/or deletion is done. Your timely compliance with this Section 5 is a
precondition to your eligibility for the Separation Benefits.

     6. Nondisparagement. You agree not to disparage the Company or the Company’s
officers, directors, employees, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, and agents, in any
manner likely to be harmful to them or their business, business reputation or personal reputation,
and the Company (through its officers and directors) agrees not to disparage you in any manner
likely to be harmful to your business, business reputation or personal reputation; provided that
the parties may respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information
when required by legal process.

     7. Release. 

          (a) General Release. In exchange for the consideration provided to you by this Agreement
that you are not otherwise entitled to receive, you hereby generally and completely release,
acquit and forever discharge the Company, and its parent, subsidiary, and

affiliated entities,
along with its and their predecessors and successors and their respective directors, officers,
employees, shareholders, stockholders, partners, agents, attorneys, insurers, affiliates and
assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims, liabilities and
obligations, both known and unknown, that arise from or are in any way related to events, acts,
conduct, or omissions occurring at any time prior to and including the date that you sign this
Agreement (collectively, the “Released Claims”).

          (b) Scope of Release. The Released Claims include, but are not limited to: (a) all claims
arising out of or in any way related to your employment with the Company, or the termination of
that employment; (b) all claims related to your compensation or benefits from the Company,
including salary, bonuses, commissions, other incentive compensation, vacation pay and the
redemption thereof, expense reimbursements, severance payments, fringe benefits, stock, stock
options, or any other ownership or equity interests in the Company; (c) all claims for breach of
contract, wrongful termination, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair
dealing; (d) all tort claims, including but not limited to claims for fraud, defamation,
emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (e) all federal, state, and
local statutory claims, including but not limited to claims for discrimination, harassment,
retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964
(as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (as amended), the federal Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended) (the “ADEA”), and the California Fair
Employment and Housing Act (as amended).

          (c) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following are not included in the
Released Claims (the “Excluded Claims”): (a) any rights or claims for indemnification you may
have pursuant to any written indemnification agreement with the Company to which you are a party,
the charter, bylaws, or operating agreements of the Company, or under applicable law; (b) any
rights which are not waivable as a matter of law; or (c) any claims arising from the breach of
this Agreement. In addition, nothing in this Agreement prevents you from filing, cooperating
with, or participating in any investigation or proceeding before the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, the Department of Labor, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, or
any other government agency, except that you hereby waive your right to any monetary benefits in
connection with any such claim, charge, investigation or proceeding. You hereby represent and
warrant that, other than the Excluded Claims, you are not aware of any claims you have or might
have against any of the Released Parties that are not included in the Released Claims.

     8. ADEA Waiver. You hereby acknowledge that you are knowingly and voluntarily
waiving and releasing any rights you may have under the ADEA, and that the consideration given for
the waiver and release you have given in this Agreement is in addition to anything of value to
which you were already entitled. You further acknowledge that: (a) your waiver and release do not
apply to any rights or claims that may arise after the date you sign this
Agreement; (b) you should consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement (although
you may voluntarily decide not to do so); (c) you have twenty-one (21) days to consider this
Agreement (although you may choose voluntarily to sign this Agreement sooner); (d) you have seven
(7) days following the date you sign this Agreement to revoke this Agreement (in a written

 

 

Mr. Henry Fuchs

revocation sent to and received by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer); and (e) this Agreement
will not be effective until the date upon which the revocation period has expired, which will be
the eighth day after you sign this Agreement, provided that you do not revoke it (the “Effective
Date”).

     9. Section 1542 Waiver. In giving the release herein, which includes claims which
may be unknown to you at present, you acknowledge that you have read and understand Section 1542 of
the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or
suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if
known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the
debtor. (California Civil Code section 1542)

You hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law or
legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction with respect to your release of claims in
this Agreement, including your release of unknown and unsuspected claims.

     10. Dispute Resolution. To aid in the rapid and economical resolution of any
disputes which may arise under this Agreement, you and the Company agree that any and all claims,
disputes or controversies of any nature whatsoever arising from or regarding the interpretation,
performance, negotiation, execution, enforcement or breach of this Agreement, your employment, or
the termination of your employment, including but not limited to any statutory claims, shall be
resolved by confidential, final and binding arbitration conducted before a single arbitrator with
JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) in San Francisco, California, in accordance with JAMS’ then-applicable
arbitration rules. The parties acknowledge that by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, they
waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury, judge or administrative
proceeding. You will have the right to be represented by legal counsel at any arbitration
proceeding. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the
resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be available under applicable
law in a court proceeding; and (b) issue a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the
disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, awarded as to each claim, the reasons for the
award, and the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The
Company shall bear JAMS’ arbitration fees and administrative costs. Nothing in this Agreement
shall prevent either you or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent
irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. Any awards or orders in such
arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any
competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator, and not a court, shall be authorized to determine whether
the provisions of this paragraph apply to a dispute, controversy or claim sought to be resolved in
accordance with these arbitration procedures.

     11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including Exhibit A, constitutes the complete,
final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between you and the Company with regard to
the subject matter hereof. It supersedes any and all other agreements entered into by and between
you and the Company on its subject matter. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or
representation, written or oral, other than those expressly

 

 

Mr. Henry Fuchs

contained herein. It may not be
modified except in a written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company.
Each party has carefully read this Agreement, has been afforded the opportunity to be advised of
its meaning and consequences by his or its respective attorneys, and signed the same of his or its
own free will. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall not be construed against either party as the
drafter.

     11. Attorneys’ Fees. If either you or the Company brings any action to enforce
rights under this Agreement, the party successful in enforcing this Agreement shall be entitled to
recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by that party in connection with such action.

     12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will bind the heirs, personal
representatives, successors, assigns, executors and administrators of each party, and will inure to
the benefit of each party, its heirs, successors and assigns.

     13. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be deemed to have been entered into and will
be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to
conflict of laws principles.

     14. Application of Section 409A. The Separation Benefits paid pursuant to Section
2(a) shall be paid no later than March 15th following the date of this Agreement. It is the
intention of the preceding sentence to apply the “short-term deferral rule” set forth in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) to such payments. The Separation Benefits paid pursuant to
Section 3(b) are intended to be paid pursuant to the exception provided by Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B). The Separation Benefits paid pursuant to Section 3(c) are intended to
be paid pursuant to the exception provided by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A).

     15. Severability; Waiver of Breach. If any provision of this Agreement is determined
to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination will not affect any other
provision of this Agreement and the provision in question shall be deemed modified so as to be
rendered enforceable in a manner consistent with the intent of the parties, insofar as possible
under applicable law. Any waiver of a breach of this Agreement, or rights hereunder, shall be in
writing and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any successive breach or rights hereunder.

     16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which
will be deemed an original, all of which together constitutes one and the same instrument.
Facsimile signatures are as effective as original signatures.

Exhibit A

Proprietary Information, Inventions and Non-Solicitation Agreement

I recognize that ONYX PHARMACEUTICALS INC., a California corporation, together with its
subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Company”), is engaged in a continuous program of
research, development and production respecting its business, present and future.

I understand that:

	A.	 	As part of my employment by the Company, I am expected to make new contributions and
inventions of value to the Company;

	B.	 	My employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between me and the Company with
respect to any information:

	 	(1)	 	Applicable to the business of the Company; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	Applicable to the business of any client or customer of the Company, which may be
made known to me by the Company or by any client or customer of the Company, or learned
by me in such context during the period of my employment.

	C.	 	The Company possesses and will continue to possess information that has been created,
discovered, developed, or otherwise become known to the Company (including, without
limitation, information created, discovered, developed, or made known by me during the period
of or arising out of my employment by the Company) and/or in which property rights have been
assigned or otherwise conveyed to the Company, which information has commercial value in the
business in which the Company is or may become engaged. All of the aforementioned information
is hereinafter called “Proprietary Information.” By way of illustration, but not limitation,
Proprietary Information includes trade secrets, processes, structures, formulas, data and
know-how, software (source code and object code), improvements, inventions, product concepts,
techniques, marketing plans, strategies, forecast, customer lists, information about the
Company’s customers (including without limitation, customer identity, contact persons, fees
charged, specific requirements etc.), and information about the Company’s employees and/or
consultants (including without limitation, the compensation, job responsibility and job
performance of such employees and/or consultants).
	 
	D.	 	As used herein, the period of my employment includes any time in which I may be retained by
the Company as a director or consultant.

A-1

 

In consideration of my employment or continued employment, as the case may be, and the compensation
received by me from the Company from time to time, I hereby agree as follows:

	1.	 	Ownership of Proprietary Information. All Proprietary Information shall be the sole
property of the Company and its assigns, and the Company and its assigns shall be the sole
owner of all patents, copyrights and other rights in connection therewith. I hereby assign to
the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information. At all times,
both during my employment by the Company and after its termination, I will keep in confidence
and trust all Proprietary Information, and I will not use or disclose any Proprietary
Information or anything directly relating to it without the written consent of the Company,
except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing my duties as an employee of
the Company and only for the benefit of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
understood that, at all such times, I am free to use (a) information in the public domain not
as a result of a breach of this Agreement, and (b) my own skill, knowledge, know-how and
experience to whatever extent and in whatever way I wish, in each case consistent with any
obligations as an employee of the company.

	2.	 	Sole Employment. I agree that during the period of my employment by the Company I
will not, without the Company’s express written consent, engage in any employment or business
other than for the Company. I understand that the Company agrees that during my employment I
may serve on the board of directors of two other companies provided that the Company approves
the identity of these companies in advance.

	3.	 	Delivery of Documents and Data. In the event of the termination of my employment by
me or by the Company for any reason, I will deliver to the Company all documents and data of
any nature pertaining to my work with the Company, I will not take with me or deliver to
anyone else any documents or data of any description or any reproduction of any description
containing or pertaining to any Proprietary Information and I will sign and deliver the
“Termination Certification” attached hereto as Exhibit B.

	4.	 	Disclosure of Inventions. I will promptly disclose to the Company, or any persons
designated by it, all improvements, inventions, designs, ideas, copyrightable works,
discoveries, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, formulas, processes, techniques, know-how,
and data, whether or not patentable, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by
me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment (whether or not
during normal working hours) which are related to or useful in the actual or anticipated
business of the Company, or result from tasks assigned me by the Company or result from use of
premises or equipment owned, leased, or contracted for by the Company (all said improvements,
inventions, designs, ideas, copyrightable works, discoveries, trademarks, copyrights, trade
secrets, formulas, processes, techniques, know-how, and data shall be collectively hereinafter
called “Inventions”). I recognize, however, that Section 2870 of the California Labor Code
(as set forth in Exhibit C hereto) exempts from this provision any invention as to which I can
prove the following:

	 	(a)	 	It was developed entirely on my own time; and

A-2

 

	 	(b)	 	No equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret of the Company was used in its
development; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	It neither

	 	(i)	 	relates at the time of its conception or reduction to practice to the
business of the Company or to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated
research and development, nor
	 
	 	(ii)	 	results from any work performed by me for the Company.

	5.	 	Assignment of and Assistance on Inventions. I hereby assign to the Company any
rights I may have or acquire in all Inventions and agree that all Inventions shall be the sole
property of the Company and its assigns, and the Company and its assigns shall be the sole
owner of all patents, copyrights and other rights in connection therewith. I further agree to
assist the Company in every proper way (but at the Company’s expense) to obtain and from time
to time enforce patents, copyrights or other rights on said Inventions in any and all
countries, and to that end I will execute all documents for use in applying for and obtaining
such patents, copyrights or other rights thereon and enforcing same, as the Company may
desire, together with any assignments thereof to the Company or persons designated by it. My
obligation to assist the Company in obtaining and enforcing patents and copyrights for such
Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my employment,
but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after such termination for time
actually spent by me at the Company’s request on such assistance. I acknowledge that all
original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the
scope of my employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as
that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 USCA, Section 101).

	6.	 	Prior Inventions. All improvements, inventions, designs, ideas, copyrightable works,
discoveries, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, formulas, processes, techniques, know-how
and data relevant to the subject matter of my employment by the Company which have been made
or conceived or first reduced to practice by me alone or jointly with others prior to my
engagement by the Company and in which I have any right, title or interest shall be deemed
“Inventions” for the purposes of this Agreement except as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

	7.	 	No Breach of Duty. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this
Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not, and to the best of my present knowledge
and belief, will not breach any agreement or duty to keep in confidence proprietary
information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I
have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral
in conflict herewith. I am not at the present time restricted from being employed by the
Company or entering into this Agreement.

	8.	 	No Prior Employer Property. I understand as part of the consideration for the offer
of employment extended to me by the Company and of my employment or continued

A-3

 

	 	 	employment by
the Company, that I have not brought and will not bring with me to the Company or use in the
performance of my responsibilities at the Company any materials or documents of a former
employer which are not generally available to the public, unless I or the Company have
obtained written authorization from the former employer for their possession and use.
	 
	 	 	Accordingly, this is to advise the Company that the only materials or documents of a former
employer which are not generally available to the public that I will bring to the Company or
use in my employment are identified on Exhibit A attached hereto, and as to each such item, I
represent that I have obtained prior to the effective date of my employment with the Company
written authorization for their possession and use in my employment with the Company.
	 
	 	 	I also understand that, in my employment with the Company, I am not to breach any obligation
of confidentiality or duty that I have to former employers, and I agree that I shall fulfill
all such obligations during my employment with the Company.

	9.	 	Non-Solicitation. During the term of my employment by the Company, and for twelve
months thereafter, I shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of
the Company solicit or induce any employee of the Company, or any former employee who has left
the employment of the Company within six months of the date of termination of said employee’s
employment with the Company, to leave the employ of the Company.
	 
	 	 	I recognize, understand, agree and acknowledge that the Company has a legitimate and necessary
interest in protecting its goodwill and Proprietary Information and that the identity and
particular business needs of clients will be conveyed to me during the term of my employment
and such information constitutes Proprietary Information which is not publicly available.

	10.	 	No Employment Agreement. I agree that the Company is not by reason of this Agreement
obligated to continue me in its employment.

	11.	 	Remedies for Breach. I agree that any breach of this Agreement by me would cause
irreparable damage to the Company and that, in the event of such breach, the Company shall
have, in addition to any and all remedies of law, the right to an injunction, specific
performance or other equitable relief to prevent or redress the violation of my obligations
hereunder.

	12.	 	Separability. If any provision hereof shall be declared unenforceable for any
reason, such unenforceability shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions
of this Agreement. Further, such provision shall be reformed and thereafter construed to the
extent permitted by law so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent
possible.

	13.	 	Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of my
employment by the Company, namely 9-13-08.

A-4

 

	14.	 	Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon me, my heirs, executors,
assigns, and administrators, shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors, and
assigns, and shall survive the termination of my employment by the Company, regardless of the
manner of such termination.

	15.	 	Applicable Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by, and contained
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California,
without giving effect to conflicts of law. Any disagreement arising under this agreement shall be heard in a state or
federal court in California in the San Francisco Bay Area.

	16.	 	Integration. This agreement is the complete and final agreement between the parties
on the subjects covered herein. It supersedes any other agreements or promises, written or
oral, on these subjects. This agreement only may be modified in a written document signed by
the parties hereto.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have hereby executed this Agreement, intending to be thereby
bound.

Employment Agreements; Assignment of Rights

     “(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or
offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to
an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the
employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions

EXHIBIT 10.1

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of this                      day
of                     , 200___, by and between UCBH Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Corporation”), and                                                             , an individual (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

     A. The Corporation and Indemnitee recognize that unforeseen litigation may subject directors,
officers and agents to costs and expenses.

     B. The Corporation desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals,
such as Indemnitee, to serve as directors, officers and agents of the Corporation and to indemnify
its directors, officers and agents so as to provide them with the maximum protection permitted by
law.

     In consideration of the Recitals set forth above and the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth below, the Corporation and Indemnitee do hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

     1. Indemnification and Expense Advancement.

          (a) Proceedings Other than by Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall
indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an Agent (as defined in Section 1(i) below)
of the Corporation, against costs, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good
faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe
the conduct of Indemnitee was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself,
create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Corporation or that Indemnitee had
reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

          (b) Proceedings By or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall
indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Corporation, against
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action if Indemnitee acted in good faith, in a manner Indemnitee believed

1

 

to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders; except that
no indemnification shall be made under this Section 1(b) for any of the following:

               (i) In respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged
to be liable to the Corporation in the performance of Indemnitee’s duty to the Corporation and its
stockholders, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding is or was
pending or the Delaware Court of Chancery shall determine upon application that, in view of all the
circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the
expenses which such court shall determine;

               (ii) Of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a pending action without court
approval; or

               (iii) Of expenses incurred in defending a pending action which is settled or otherwise
disposed of without court approval.

          (c) Determination of Right of Indemnification. Any indemnification under Sections
1(a) and (b) shall be made by the Corporation only if authorized in the specific case, upon a
determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth above in Sections 1(a) and (b) by any of the
following:

               (i) A majority vote of a quorum of the Corporation’s board of directors consisting of
directors who are not parties to such proceeding; or

               (ii ) If such a quorum of directors is not obtainable, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion; or

               (iii) Approval of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
entitled to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by the written
consent of stockholders as provided in the Bylaws, with the shares owned by the person to be
indemnified not being entitled to vote thereon; or

               (iv) By the court in which such proceeding is or was pending upon application made by the
Corporation or its Agent or attorney or other person rendering services in connection with the
defense, whether or not such application by the Agent, attorney or other person is opposed by the
Corporation.

          (d) Advances of Expenses. Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’
fees), costs, and charges incurred in defending any proceeding shall be advanced promptly by the
Corporation prior to the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of a written undertaking
by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such amount unless it shall be determined ultimately that
Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 1. The form of such
undertaking shall be substantially similar to Exhibit A hereto.

2

 

          (e) Indemnification Against Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Section 1, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits in a
defense of any proceeding, claim, issue or matter referred to in Sections 1(a) and (b), Indemnitee
shall be indemnified against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in
connection therewith.

          (f) Right of Indemnitee to Indemnification Upon Application; Procedure Upon
Application. Any indemnification provided for in Sections 1(a), (b) or (e) shall be made no
later than ninety (90) days after the Corporation is given notice of request by Indemnitee,
provided that any indemnification under Sections 1(a) and (b) is authorized pursuant to Section
1(c). Any such request for indemnification must be made within ninety (90) days of the final
adjudication, dismissal, or settlement of the matter for which Indemnitee seeks indemnification,
unless an appeal is filed, in which case the request may be made within ninety (90) days after the
appeal is resolved (hereafter referred to as “Final Disposition”). Upon such notice, if a quorum
of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding giving rise to indemnification
is obtainable, the Corporation shall within two (2) weeks call a Board of Directors meeting to be
held within four (4) weeks of such notice, to make a determination as to whether Indemnitee has met
the applicable standard of conduct. Otherwise, if a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties in the relevant action, suit, or proceeding is not obtainable, the Corporation shall retain
(at the Corporation’s expense) independent legal counsel chosen either jointly by the Corporation
and Indemnitee or else by the Corporation’s counsel within two (2) weeks to make such
determination.

               If notice of a request for payment of a claim under any statute, under this Agreement, or
under the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws providing for indemnification or
advance of expenses has been given to the Corporation by Indemnitee, and such claim is not paid in
full by the Corporation within ninety (90) days of the later occurring of the giving of such notice
and Final Disposition in case of indemnification and ten (10) days of the giving of such notice in
case of advance of expenses, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action
against the Corporation to receive the unpaid amount of the claim or the expense advance and, if
successful, Indemnitee shall also be paid for the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and
experts’ fees) of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an
action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit, or
proceeding in advance of its Final Disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of
conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify Indemnitee
for the amount claimed, and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payment of expenses
pursuant to Section 1(d) unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or
judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. Neither the failure of the Corporation
(including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a
determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee
has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual determination
by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or independent legal counsel) that Indemnitee
has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or
has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

3

 

          (g) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was an Agent against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by
him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the
provisions of this Section 1.

          (h) Optional Means of Assuring Payment. Upon request by an Indemnitee certifying that
Indemnitee has reasonable grounds to believe Indemnitee may be made a party to a proceeding for
which Indemnitee may be entitled to be indemnified under this Section 1, the Corporation may, but
is not required to, create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including,
without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such sums as may become necessary
to effect indemnification as provided herein.

          (i) Definition of Agent. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Agent” means any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another foreign or
domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation which was a predecessor corporation
of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation;
“proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative; and “expenses” includes without limitation reasonable
attorneys’ and experts’ fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification.

          (j) Indemnification under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Subject to the provisions of Delaware Corporation Law Section 145 and any other applicable law,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 1, the following shall apply to the
indemnification of Indemnitee:

               (i) There shall be a presumption that Indemnitee met the applicable standard of conduct
required to be met in Section 1(c) for indemnification, rebuttable by clear and convincing evidence
to the contrary;

               (ii) The Corporation shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee did not meet the
applicable standard of conduct in Section 1(c);

               (iii) In addition to the methods provided for in Section 1(c), a determination that
indemnification is proper in the circumstances because that Indemnitee met the applicable standard
of conduct may also be made by the arbitrator in any arbitration proceeding in which such matter is
or was pending; and

               (iv) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing between an Indemnitee and the Corporation in any
specific case, indemnification may be made under Section 1(b) for amounts paid in settling or
otherwise disposing of a pending action without court approval.

     2. Changes.

          In the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute,
or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of
directors, its officers or its Agents, such changes shall automatically expand, without further
action of the parties, Indemnitee’s rights and the Corporation’s obligations under this Agreement.
In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows a Delaware
corporation’s right to indemnify a member of its board of directors, its officers or its Agents,
such changes, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to
this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations
hereunder. In the event of an amendment to the Corporation’s Bylaws which expands the right to
indemnify a member of its board of directors, its officers or its Agents, such change shall
automatically expand, without further action of the parties, Indemnitee’s rights and the
Corporation’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event of any amendment to the Corporation’s
Bylaws which narrows such right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of
directors, its officers or its Agents, such change shall only apply to the indemnification of
Indemnitee for acts committed, or lack of action, by Indemnitee after such amendment. The
Corporation agrees to give Indemnitee prompt written notice of amendments to the Corporation’s
Bylaws which concern indemnification.

     3. Nonexclusivity.

          The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to
which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws,
any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors, the Delaware General
Corporation Law, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action
in any other capacity while holding such office (an “Indemnified Capacity”). The indemnification
provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken
while serving in an Indemnified Capacity even though such Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in an
Indemnified Capacity at the time of any action, suit or other covered proceeding, and shall inure
to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of Indemnitee.

     4. Partial Indemnification.

          If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the
Corporation for some or a portion of the expenses, judgment, fines or penalties actually or
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any civil
or criminal action, suit or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses, judgments,
fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

     5. Potential Limitations.

          Both the Corporation and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, Delaware state law
and federal banking laws and regulations, federal law or public policy may

5

 

override applicable state law and prohibit the Corporation from indemnifying its directors and
officers under this Agreement or otherwise. For example, the Corporation and Indemnitee
acknowledge that the federal regulators have taken the position that indemnification is not
permissible for liabilities arising under certain federal securities laws, and federal legislation
prohibits indemnification for certain ERISA violations. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges
that the Corporation has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with federal
regulators to submit questions of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a
determination of the Corporation’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee. Furthermore,
Indemnitee and Corporation acknowledge that the extent of (i) indemnification permissible under
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law has not been judicially determined; therefore,
the enforceability of Indemnitee’s rights under Section 1(l) is uncertain; and (ii) advancement of
expenses and indemnification of Indemnitee in the event of a proceeding or action described in
Section 7(a) below, is also uncertain and may not be permissible or may be subject to applicable
regulatory restrictions.

     6. Severability.

          Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the
Corporation to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Corporation’s
inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not
constitute a breach of the Agreement. If the application of any provision or provisions of the
Agreement to any particular facts or circumstances shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by
any court of competent jurisdiction, then (i) the validity and enforceability of such provision or
provisions as applied to any other particular facts or circumstances and the validity of other
provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) such
provision(s) shall be reformed without further action by the parties to make such provision(s)
valid and enforceable when applied to such facts and circumstances with a view toward requiring the
Corporation to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permissible by law.

     7. Exceptions.

          Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be
obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

          (a) Regulatory Agency Proceedings. To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses, penalties or
other payments incurred in an administrative proceeding or action threatened or instituted by a
bank regulatory agency, which proceeding or action results in a final order imposing, injunctive or
similar relief or assessing civil money penalties or in any other resolution requiring or
preventing action by the Indemnitee; or

          (b) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee
with respect to proceedings or claims (except counter-claims or cross-claims) initiated or brought
voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings brought to
establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or
otherwise as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, but

6

 

such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Corporation in specific
cases if the Board of Directors finds it to be appropriate; or

          (c) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this
Agreement, if a majority of the Corporation’s directors or a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such proceeding were not made in good
faith or was frivolous; or

          (d) Insured Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and
amounts paid in settlement) which have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier
under a policy of officers’ and directors’ liability or other insurance maintained by the
Corporation; or

          (e) Claims under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or the payment
of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.

     8. Counterparts.

          This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original.

     9. Successors and Assigns.

          This Agreement shall be binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns, and shall
inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s estate, heirs, and legal representatives and
permitted assigns. Indemnitee may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the Corporation.

     10. Attorneys’ Fees.

          In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this Agreement to enforce or
interpret any of the terms hereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to
such action, unless as a part of such action, the court of competent jurisdiction determines that
each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action were not made in good
faith or were frivolous. In the event of an action instituted by or in the name of the Corporation
under this Agreement or to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee
shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by
Indemnitee in defense of such action (including with respect to Indemnitee’s counterclaims and
cross-claims made in such action), unless as a part of such action the court determines that each
of Indemnitee’s material defenses to such action were made in bad faith or were frivolous.

7

 

     11. Notice.

          All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if delivered by hand and signed for by the party
addressee, on the date of such receipt, or (ii) if mailed by certified or registered mail with
postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked. Addresses for notice to
either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement, or as subsequently modified by
written notice.

     12. Section Headings.

          The Section headings in this Agreement are solely for convenience and shall not be considered
in its interpretation.

     13. Waiver.

          A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Agreement or any breach thereof, in
any one instance, shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or condition or of
any subsequent breach thereof.

     14. Entire Agreement; Amendment.

          This instrument contains the entire integrated Agreement between the parties hereto and
supersedes all prior negotiations, representations or agreements, whether written or oral except
for the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. It may be amended only by a written
instrument signed by a duly authorized officer of Corporation and by Indemnitee.

     15. Choice of Law.

          Except for that body of law governing choice of law, this Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, substantive laws of the State of Delaware which govern transactions
between Delaware residents.

     16. Mediation/Arbitration.

          (a) All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement
(collectively, “Disputes”) shall be submitted to non-binding mediation by either party to an
impartial mediator, as agreed to by the parties, and appointed through JAMS in San Francisco,
California, for a good faith effort at resolution. The mediator shall review the Dispute within
thirty (30) days of submission or at such other time provided the parties so agree. Any mediation
fee shall be paid equally among the parties. Any Dispute which is not resolved through such
mandatory mediation shall be settled by final and binding arbitration before a single neutral
arbitrator of JAMS in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association in San Francisco, California. Judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court in California. In the event that any

8

 

Dispute between Indemnitee and the Corporation should result in arbitration, the prevailing
party in the Dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party all reasonable fees, costs
and expenses of enforcing any right of the prevailing party, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees, and expenses. Each party agrees that the Dispute as
mediated and/or arbitrated and the final resolution of such Dispute shall be considered to be
confidential information, and shall be kept confidential by each party.

          (b) Indemnitee specifically acknowledges and understands that by agreeing to this provision,
Indemnitee is waiving all rights to have his or her claims brought, investigated, and/or
adjudicated by an administrative agency, or heard before a judge or jury. Indemnitee also
understands that Indemnitee’s rights to discovery may be lesser or narrower in arbitration, that
there may be fees and costs associated with mediation and/or arbitration that Indemnitee may not
otherwise have, and that Indemnitee is waiving substantial time that Indemnitee might otherwise
have to make a claim, prepare his or her case, or investigate his or her claims. The claims
include claims of any kind relating to Indemnitee’s relationship with the Corporation, including
claims relating to compensation, discrimination, any benefits, status as an officer, director or
Agent of the Corporation, conflict of interest, or any other claim or dispute relating to or
arising out of Indemnitee’s relationship with the Corporation. The underlying Disputes shall be
fully and finally resolved through arbitration, including any right to permanent injunctive relief.

     17. Consideration.

          Part of the consideration the Corporation is receiving from Indemnitee to enter into this
Agreement is Indemnitee’s agreement to serve or to continue to serve, as applicable, for the
present as an officer, director or Agent of the Corporation. Nothing in this Agreement shall
preclude Indemnitee from resigning as an officer, director or Agent of the Corporation nor the
Corporation, by action of its stockholders, board of directors, or officers, as the case may be,
from terminating Indemnitee’s services as an officer, director or Agent, as the case may be, with
or without cause.

UNDERTAKING TO REPAY ADVANCEMENT

OF EXPENSES

     A. Indemnitee is or has been a director, officer, employee or other agent of UCBH HOLDINGS,
INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”); and

     B. On account of such fact, Indemnitee was or is or is threatened to be made a party to the
proceeding described and designated hereinafter (the “Proceeding”); and

     C. Indemnitee has requested that the Corporation advance to Indemnitee, prior to final
disposition of the Proceeding, Indemnitee’s costs and expenses incurred in defense of the
Proceeding; and

     D. As a condition to advancement of such expenses, the Corporation has required that the
present undertaking be made by or on behalf of Indemnitee.

The undersigned herein undertakes as follows:

(1) This undertaking is executed in accordance with and is subject to Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, and that certain Indemnification Agreement between Indemnitee and the
Corporation dated                     , and is subject to all provisions, including definitions of terms,
