      CENTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION

    

    
      SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

    

    

    

    
      This Subscription Agreement is made by and between Center Financial
      Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”)
      and the purchaser whose name appears on the Subscription Agreement
      signature page below (“Purchaser”).
    

    
      Pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, and to other Subscription
      Agreements between the Company and each of the other purchasers in this
      offering (collectively, “Purchasers”), the Company
      will sell up to 3,360,000 shares of the common stock of the Company (the
      “Shares”) at a purchase price of $3.71 per share for
      purchasers not affiliated with the Company, and a purchase price for
      officers and directors of the Company equal to the closing bid price of
      the Company’s stock on November 24, 2009 (immediately preceding the time
      the Company will enter into binding agreements with such individuals to
      issue the securities), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up
      to approximately $15 million (the “Private Placement”).  The
      purchase price for officers and directors is subject to possible
      adjustment in the event the Company elects to solicit shareholder
      approval of this Private Placement, by means of issuing additional
      shares such that the directors or officers would in effect have received
      their shares in this Private Placement at the same price per share as
      other purchasers.  The Shares, when issued, will represent up to
      approximately 16.7% of the total shares of the Company outstanding upon
      completion of the Private Placement.
    

    
      The Company can accept the subscription for all or any portion of the
      Shares applied for or can reject this subscription in its entirety, in
      its sole discretion.  In the event the Company rejects all or a
      portion of the requested subscription, the Company will promptly refund
      the subscriber all, or a portion, of the amount remitted with the
      Subscription Agreement.  The Company will decide which subscriptions to
      accept no later than November 30, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), subject to
      extension by the Company in its sole discretion.  All appropriate
      refunds will be made within three business days after the Closing Date,
      when and as extended.
    

    
      By executing this Subscription Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that he
      or she has read the Private Placement Memorandum dated October 19, 2009,
      and the Supplement thereto dated November 20, 2009, which describe the
      terms of the Private Placement, including, but not limited to, the risk
      factors associated with the Private Placement.

      Purchaser has had the opportunity to question, and, to the extent deemed
      necessary or appropriate, has questioned representatives of the Company
      so as to receive answers and verify information obtained in the
      Purchaser’s examination of the Company, including the information that
      the Purchaser has reviewed in relation to its investment in the Shares.
    

    
         2.9  Private Placement Memorandum.  The
      Purchaser has received a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum dated
      October 19, 2009, and the Supplement thereto dated November 20, 2009,
      and any and all supplements and Appendices thereto.  Except for the
      information contained in the Private Placement Memorandum, as amended or
      supplemented and except for the information that the Purchaser or its
      advisors, if any, have requested and been furnished in writing, neither
      the Purchaser nor its advisors has been furnished any offering material
      or literature by the Company.
    

    
        2.10  Short Sales; No Net Short Position.  Since
      the Purchaser has learned of the offering of the Shares, it has not
      engaged in short sales or similar hedging transactions with respect to
      the Company’s Common Stock and until the Registration Statement which
      the Company is obligated to file covering the Common Stock has become
      effective, the Purchaser shall not sell short the shares of the
      Company’s Common Stock. Until the Purchaser has sold all shares of the
      Common Stock, it shall not maintain a net short position in the Common
      Stock prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement.
      Provided, however, if the Purchaser presently has, or hereafter
      acquires, a long position in the Company's Common Stock, the Purchaser
      may sell short or otherwise engage in hedging transactions with respect
      to that long position, but not against the shares of Common Stock
      contained in the Shares.
    

    
        2.11  Non-Disclosure.  Purchaser
      acknowledges that certain information contained in the disclosure
      document provided to Purchaser in connection with the private offering
      of the Common Stock has not been otherwise publicly
      disclosed.  Accordingly, Purchaser agrees to keep such information
      confidential for a period ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the
      first anniversary of the closing of the Private Placement, or (ii) the
      date upon which such information is publicly disclosed by the Company.
    

    
        2.12  Additional Representations.  The
      Purchaser will make such additional representations and warranties and
      furnish such information regarding the Purchaser’s investment experience
      and financial position as the Company may reasonably require, and if
      there should be any material change in the information set forth herein
      prior to the closing of the sale of the Shares, the Purchaser will
      immediately furnish such revised or corrected information to the Company.
    

    
        2.13  Independent Decision.  The Purchaser
      is not relying on the Company, or on any legal or other opinion in the
      materials reviewed by the Purchaser with respect to the financial or tax
      considerations of the Purchaser relating to its investment in the
      Shares.  The Purchaser has relied solely on the representations, and
      information contained in the covenants and agreements of the Company in
      this Subscription Agreement; the Private Placement Memorandum dated
      October 19, 2009; and the Supplement thereto dated November 20, 2009,
      and on its examination and independent investigation in making its
      decision to acquire the Shares.  The Purchaser has been afforded the
      opportunity to obtain, and has been furnished, all material that it has
      requested relating to the proposed operation of the Company, any other
      matters relating to the business and properties of the Company and the
      offer and sale of the Shares.

        2.14  Authority.  Purchaser, if a
      partnership, corporation, trust, limited liability company or other
      entity, agrees that:  (i) the person executing this Subscription
      Agreement has the necessary power and authority to do so; and (ii)
      Purchaser was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the
      Shares.
    

    
        2.15  Special Investment Considerations - Risk
      Factors.  The Purchaser has carefully reviewed and understands the
      risk factors with respect to the Purchaser’s purchase of Shares as such
      investment risk factors are set forth in the Private Placement
      Memorandum dated October 19, 2009 and Supplement thereto dated
      November 20, 2009.
    

    
      3.  Restrictions on Transferability.  The Shares shall
      not be transferred before satisfaction of the conditions specified in
      this Article III, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance
      with the provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state
      securities laws with respect to the transfer of any Shares.  Purchaser,
      by entering into this Agreement and accepting the Shares, agrees to be
      bound by the provisions of this Article III.
    

    
         3.1  Restrictive Legend.  Except as
      otherwise provided in this Article III, each certificate representing
      shares of Common Stock shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a

      “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
      REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
      ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
      OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
      SECURITIES ACT IS IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF SALE OR THE HOLDER SUBMITS AN
      OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT AN
      EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE
      SECURITIES LAWS, OR ANY RULE OR REGULATION PROMULGATED THEREUNDER, IS
      AVAILABLE.”
    

    
         3.2  Transfers. The Purchaser agrees
      that it will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of
      restricted Common Stock, in whole or in part, except pursuant to an
      effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or unless the
      Purchaser submits an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
      Company and its counsel that an exemption from registration exists
      thereunder.  Each certificate, if any, evidencing such shares of
      restricted Common Stock issued upon such transfer shall bear the
      restrictive legend set forth in Section 3.1, unless in the written
      opinion of the transferee’s or Purchaser’s counsel delivered to the
      Company in connection with such transfer (which opinion shall be
      reasonably satisfactory to the Company) such legend is not required in
      order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.
    

    
         3.3  Termination of Restrictions.  The
      restrictions imposed by this Article III upon the transferability of the
      restricted Common Stock and the legend requirement of Section 3.1 shall
      terminate as to any particular share (i) when and so long as such
      security shall have been registered under the Securities Act and
      disposed of pursuant thereto, or (ii) when the Purchaser thereof shall
      have delivered to the Company the written opinion of counsel to such
      Purchaser, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
      Company, stating that such legend is not required in order to ensure
      compliance with the Securities Act.  Whenever the restrictions imposed
      by this Article III shall terminate as to any restricted Common Stock,
      as herein above provided, the Purchaser thereof shall be entitled to
      receive from the Company, at the expense of the Company, a new
      certificate representing such Common Stock, not bearing the restrictive
      legend set forth in Section 3.1.
    

    
         3.4  Investment Intent.  The
      Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder for the Purchaser’s own
      account and with no present intention of distributing or selling the
      Shares or any interest in the Shares. The Purchaser agrees that it will
      not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares  or any interest in
      the Shares  unless such sale or other disposition has been registered or
      qualified (as applicable) under the Securities Act and applicable state
      securities laws or, in the opinion of the Purchaser’s counsel delivered
      to the Company (which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
      Company) such sale or other disposition is exempt from registration or
      qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
      laws.  The Purchaser understands that the sale of the Shares acquired by
      the Purchaser hereunder has not been registered under the Securities
      Act, but the Shares are issued through transactions exempt from the
      registration requirements of, among other things, Section 4(2) of the
      Securities Act and Rule 506 thereunder, and that the reliance of the
      Company on such exemption from registration is predicated in part on
      these representations and warranties of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser
      acknowledges that pursuant to Section 3.1 a restrictive legend
      consistent with the foregoing has been or will be placed on the
      certificates representing the shares of Common Stock until such legend
      is permitted to be removed under applicable law. The Purchaser will have
      no right to require registration of the shares of Common Stock, and the
      Company is under no obligation to cause an exemption for resale to be
      available or register the shares of Common Stock, except as provided in
      Section IV below.

         3.5  No Other Representations.  No
      oral or written representations have been made to the Purchaser in
      connection with the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares which were in
      any way inconsistent with the information included in the Private
      Placement Memorandum dated October 19, 2009, the Supplement thereto
      dated November 20, 2009, and this Subscription Agreement.  The Purchaser
      has not made its decision to acquire Shares or to execute and deliver
      this Agreement on the basis of any belief that any officer, director or
      affiliate of the Company or any current stockholder of the Company would
      make an investment in the Company now or in the future.
    

    
      4.  Registration.
    

    
         4.1  Required Registration. Subject
      to exceptions and limitations described herein, the Company shall use
      its best efforts, within six months of the closing of the Private
      Placement, to cause a Registration Statement to be filed with the
      Commission on Form S-3, if available, or, if Form S-3 is not available
      for the registration of the Shares, on such form as may be prescribed by
      the Commission, providing for the resale of the Shares.  Such
      Registration Statement shall contain all appropriate undertakings
      necessary to comply with Rule 415 under the Securities Act pertaining to
      “shelf registration” or delayed offerings of securities.  The Company
      shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the Commission to declare
      such Registration Statement effective and to maintain the effectiveness
      of such Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4.3 below.
    

    
         4.2  Obligations of the Company.  If
      and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof to effect
      or cause the registration of any Shares under the Securities Act as
      provided herein, the Company shall:
    

    
           4.2.1  use its best efforts to prepare and file with the Commission
      a Registration Statement with respect to such Shares and use its
      best  reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
      and remain effective;
    

    
           4.2.2  prepare and file with the Commission such amendments to such
      Registration Statement (including post-effective amendments) and
      supplements to the prospectus included therein as may be necessary to
      keep such Registration Statement effective, subject to the
      qualifications in Section 4(a), and to comply with the provisions of the
      Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all
      Shares covered by such Registration Statement during such period in
      accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
      Purchaser  set forth in such Registration Statement;
    

    
           4.2.3  furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of such
      Registration Statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto
      (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the
      prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
      preliminary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the
      Securities Act, and such other documents, as the Purchaser may
      reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other
      disposition of the Shares owned by the Purchaser;
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        
          7
        

        
          

        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
           4.2.4  use its best efforts to register and/or qualify the
      securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other
      securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
      requested by the Purchasers participating in the Registration and as may
      be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of such Shares, provided,
      however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
      contrary, in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be
      qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in
      connection with the qualification of the Shares be borne by selling
      shareholders, the Purchasers shall pay their pro rata share of such
      expenses;
    

    
           4.2.5  notify the Purchaser at any time when a prospectus relating
      to his or its Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under
      the Securities Act, of the Company’s becoming aware that the prospectus
      included in the related Registration Statement, as then in effect,
      includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
      material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
      statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
      existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to the Purchaser a reasonable
      number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as
      thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities,
      such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact
      or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
      necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of
      the circumstances then existing;
    

    
           4.2.6  otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
      rules and regulations of the Commission;
    

    
           4.2.7  cause all such Shares on such Registration Statement to be
      listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation service
      (including The NASDAQ Global Select Market) on which similar securities
      issued by the Company are then listed; and
    

    
           4.2.8  notify the Purchaser of any stop order threatened or issued
      by the Commission and take all actions reasonably necessary to prevent
      the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.
    

    
         4.3  Other Procedures.
    

    
           4.3.1  Subject to the Company’s general obligation to use its best
      efforts under Section 3, the Company shall be required to maintain the
      effectiveness of a Registration Statement (under Form S-3) until the
      earlier of (i) the date of settlement of and sale of all Shares or (ii)
      24 months from the effective date of the Registration Statement.
    

    
           4.3.2  In consideration of the Company’s obligations under this
      Agreement, the Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from
      the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
      Section 4.2.5 herein, the Purchaser shall forthwith discontinue its or
      his sale of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such
      Shares until the Purchaser’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented
      or amended prospectus contemplated by said Section 4.2.5 and, if
      so directed by the Company, shall deliver to the Company (at the
      Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in
      the Purchaser’s possession of the prospectus covering such Shares
      current at the time of receipt of such notice.
    

    
           4.3.3  The Company’s obligation to file any Registration Statement
      or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, shall be subject to
      each Purchaser, as applicable, furnishing to the Company in writing upon
      the Company’s reasonable request such information and documents
      regarding such Purchaser and the distribution of such Purchaser’s Shares
      as may reasonably be required to be disclosed in the Registration
      Statement in question by the rules and regulations under the Securities
      Act or under any other applicable securities or blue sky laws of the
      jurisdiction referred to in Section 4.2.4 herein.  The Company’s
      obligations are also subject to each Purchaser promptly executing any
      representation letter concerning compliance with Regulation M under the
      Exchange Act (or any successor rule or regulation).

           4.3.4  If any such registration or comparable statement refers to
      the Purchaser by name or otherwise as a shareholder of the Company, but
      such reference to the Purchaser by name or otherwise is not required by
      the Securities Act or the rules thereunder, then each Purchaser shall
      have the right to require the deletion of the reference to the
      Purchaser, as may be applicable.
    

    
           4.3.5  In connection with the sale of Shares, the Company shall
      deliver to each purchaser a copy of the necessary prospectus and, if
      applicable, prospectus supplement, within the time required by Section
      5(b) of the Securities Act.
    

    
         4.4  Registration Expenses.  In
      connection with any registration of Shares pursuant to this Section 4,
      the Company shall, whether or not any such registration shall become
      effective, from time to time, pay all expenses (other than Selling
      Expenses) incident to its performance of or compliance, including,
      without limitation, all registration, and filing fees, fees and expenses
      of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, word processing,
      printing and copying expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and
      disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent public
      accountants and other persons retained by the Company.
    

    
      5.  Indemnification.  Purchaser hereby agrees to
      indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any corporation or entity
      affiliated with the Company, the officers, directors, agents and
      employees of the Company and any professional advisors thereto, from and
      against any and all loss, damage, liability or expense, including costs
      and reasonable attorneys’ fees, to which they may become subject or
      which they may incur by reason of or in connection with any
      misrepresentation made by Purchaser herein, or any breach of any of his
      or her representations and warranties or Purchaser’s failure to fulfill
      any of the covenants or agreements under this Subscription Agreement.
    

    
      6.  Issuance of Additional Shares in Certain Events.  The
      Company is in the process of exploring alternatives for raising
      additional capital subsequent to the close of the Private Placement to
      further strengthen the Company’s financial condition and enhance its
      capital ratios and liquidity.  The terms of any such offering of
      additional securities may be more favorable to investors than those
      offered in the Private Placement.  In the event the Company issues
      additional common stock within three months of the close of this Private
      Placement on terms more favorable than those in this Private Placement,
      investors in this Private Placement will automatically receive
      additional shares of the Company’s common stock as soon as practicable
      following the close of such subsequent offering in such amount as to
      effectively make the purchase price per share paid by such investors
      approximately equal to those paid by investors in the subsequent
      offering.  If the Company offers securities convertible into common
      stock at a conversion price less than the price paid for common stock in
      this Private Placement, then the investors in this Private Placement
      would receive any additional shares to which they are entitled as soon
      as practicable following the conversion of any such shares into common
      stock, rather than upon the close of the offering; provided, however,
      that in order for investors in this Private Placement to have the right
      to receive any additional shares, such conversion must occur within six
      months of the close of the Private Placement.

      CENTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION

    

    
      SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

    

    

    

    
      This Subscription Agreement is made by and between Center Financial
      Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”)
      and the purchaser whose name appears on the Subscription Agreement
      signature page below (“Purchaser”).
    

    
      Pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, and to other Subscription
      Agreements between the Company and each of the other purchasers in this
      offering (collectively, “Purchasers”), the Company
      will sell up to 3,360,000 shares of the common stock of the Company (the
      “Shares”) at a purchase price of $3.71 per share1
      for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to approximately $15
      million (the “Private Placement”).  The Shares, when
      issued, will represent up to approximately 16.7% of the total shares of
      the Company outstanding upon completion of the Private Placement.
    

    
      The Company can accept the subscription for all or any portion of the
      Shares applied for or can reject this subscription in its entirety, in
      its sole discretion.  In the event the Company rejects all or a
      portion of the requested subscription, the Company will promptly refund
      the subscriber all, or a portion, of the amount remitted with the
      Subscription Agreement.  The Company will decide which subscriptions to
      accept no later than November 30, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), subject to
      extension by the Company in its sole discretion.  All appropriate
      refunds will be made within three business days after the Closing Date,
      when and as extended.
    

    
      By executing this Subscription Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that he
      or she has read the Private Placement Memorandum dated October 19, 2009,
      and the Supplement thereto dated November 20, 2009, which describe the
      terms of the Private Placement, including, but not limited to, the risk
      factors associated with the Private Placement.
    

    

    

    

    

    
      _____________________________
*This price per share is for purchasers
      not affiliated with the Company.  It is anticipated that certain
      officers and directors of the Company may purchase shares in the Private
      Placement.  In accordance with the rules of Nasdaq, the purchase price
      for such individuals will be not less than the closing bid price of the
      Company’s stock on November 24, 2009 (immediately preceding the time the
      Company will enter into binding agreements with such individuals to
      issue the securities) subject to possible adjustment in the event the
      Company elects to solicit shareholder approval of this Private
      Placement, by means of issuing additional shares such that the directors
      or officers would in effect have received their shares in this Private
      Placement at the same price per share as other purchasers.

      Subscription for any reason.
    

    
         2.4  Ability to Bear Risk.  Purchaser
      acknowledges that the Shares are suitable and consistent with
      Purchaser’s investment program and that Purchaser’s financial position
      enables Purchaser to bear the risks of this investment, including, but

      unregistered and restricted securities which involve a high degree of

      in the Shares, including the total loss thereof.

         2.7  Adequate Information.  The
      Company has made available and the Purchaser has reviewed such
      information that the Purchaser considers necessary or appropriate to
      evaluate the risks and merits of an investment in the Shares including,
      without limitation, the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
      December 31, 2008, Form 10-Qs for the quarterly periods ended March 31,
      June 30 and September 30, 2009, Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on

      December 31, 2008.
    

    
         2.8  Opportunity to Ask Questions.  The
      Purchaser has had the opportunity to question, and, to the extent deemed
      necessary or appropriate, has questioned representatives of the Company
      so as to receive answers and verify information obtained in the
      Purchaser’s examination of the Company, including the information that
      the Purchaser has reviewed in relation to its investment in the Shares.
    

    
         2.9  Private Placement Memorandum.  The
      Purchaser has received a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum dated
      October 19, 2009, and the Supplement thereto dated November 20, 2009,
      and any and all supplements and Appendices thereto.  Except for the
      information contained in the Private Placement Memorandum, as amended or
      supplemented and except for the information that the Purchaser or its
      advisors, if any, have requested and been furnished in writing, neither
      the Purchaser nor its advisors has been furnished any offering material
      or literature by the Company.
    

    
        2.10  Short Sales; No Net Short Position.  Since
      the Purchaser has learned of the offering of the Shares, it has not
      engaged in short sales or similar hedging transactions with respect to
      the Company’s Common Stock and until the Registration Statement which
      the Company is obligated to file covering the Common Stock has become
      effective, the Purchaser shall not sell short the shares of the
      Company’s Common Stock. Until the Purchaser has sold all shares of the
      Common Stock, it shall not maintain a net short position in the Common
      Stock prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement.
      Provided, however, if the Purchaser presently has, or hereafter
      acquires, a long position in the Company's Common Stock, the Purchaser
      may sell short or otherwise engage in hedging transactions with respect
      to that long position, but not against the shares of Common Stock
      contained in the Shares.
    

    
        2.11  Non-Disclosure.  Purchaser
      acknowledges that certain information contained in the disclosure
      document provided to Purchaser in connection with the private offering
      of the Common Stock has not been otherwise publicly
      disclosed.  Accordingly, Purchaser agrees to keep such information
      confidential for a period ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the
      first anniversary of the closing of the Private Placement, or (ii) the
      date upon which such information is publicly disclosed by the Company.
    

    
        2.12  Additional Representations.  The
      Purchaser will make such additional representations and warranties and
      furnish such information regarding the Purchaser’s investment experience
      and financial position as the Company may reasonably require, and if
      there should be any material change in the information set forth herein
      prior to the closing of the sale of the Shares, the Purchaser will
      immediately furnish such revised or corrected information to the Company.
    

    
        2.13  Independent Decision.  The Purchaser
      is not relying on the Company, or on any legal or other opinion in the
      materials reviewed by the Purchaser with respect to the financial or tax
      considerations of the Purchaser relating to its investment in the
      Shares.  The Purchaser has relied solely on the representations, and
      information contained in the covenants and agreements of the Company in
      this Subscription Agreement; the Private Placement Memorandum dated
      October 19, 2009; and the Supplement thereto dated November 20, 2009,
      and on its examination and independent investigation in making its
      decision to acquire the Shares.  The Purchaser has been afforded the
      opportunity to obtain, and has been furnished, all material that it has
      requested relating to the proposed operation of the Company, any other
      matters relating to the business and properties of the Company and the
      offer and sale of the Shares.
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        
          5
        

        
          

        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
        2.14  Authority.  Purchaser, if a
      partnership, corporation, trust, limited liability company or other
      entity, agrees that:  (i) the person executing this Subscription
      Agreement has the necessary power and authority to do so; and (ii)
      Purchaser was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the
      Shares.
    

    
        2.15  Special Investment Considerations - Risk
      Factors.  The Purchaser has carefully reviewed and understands the
      risk factors with respect to the Purchaser’s purchase of Shares as such
      investment risk factors are set forth in the Private Placement
      Memorandum dated October 19, 2009 and Supplement thereto dated
      November 20, 2009.
    

    
      3.  Restrictions on Transferability.  The Shares shall
      not be transferred before satisfaction of the conditions specified in
      this Article III, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance
      with the provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state
      securities laws with respect to the transfer of any Shares.  Purchaser,
      by entering into this Agreement and accepting the Shares, agrees to be
      bound by the provisions of this Article III.
    

    
         3.1  Restrictive Legend.  Except as
      otherwise provided in this Article III, each certificate representing
      shares of Common Stock shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a
      legend in substantially the following form:
    

    
      “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
      REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
      ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
      OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
      SECURITIES ACT IS IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF SALE OR THE HOLDER SUBMITS AN
      OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT AN
      EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE
      SECURITIES LAWS, OR ANY RULE OR REGULATION PROMULGATED THEREUNDER, IS
      AVAILABLE.”
    

    
         3.2  Transfers. The Purchaser agrees
      that it will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of
      restricted Common Stock, in whole or in part, except pursuant to an
      effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or unless the
      Purchaser submits an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
      Company and its counsel that an exemption from registration exists
      thereunder.  Each certificate, if any, evidencing such shares of
      restricted Common Stock issued upon such transfer shall bear the
      restrictive legend set forth in Section 3.1, unless in the written
      opinion of the transferee’s or Purchaser’s counsel delivered to the
      Company in connection with such transfer (which opinion shall be
      reasonably satisfactory to the Company) such legend is not required in
      order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.
    

    
         3.3  Termination of Restrictions.  The
      restrictions imposed by this Article III upon the transferability of the
      restricted Common Stock and the legend requirement of Section 3.1 shall
      terminate as to any particular share (i) when and so long as such
      security shall have been registered under the Securities Act and
      disposed of pursuant thereto, or (ii) when the Purchaser thereof shall
      have delivered to the Company the written opinion of counsel to such
      Purchaser, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
      Company, stating that such legend is not required in order to ensure
      compliance with the Securities Act.  Whenever the restrictions imposed
      by this Article III shall terminate as to any restricted Common Stock,
      as herein above provided, the Purchaser thereof shall be entitled to
      receive from the Company, at the expense of the Company, a new
      certificate representing such Common Stock, not bearing the restrictive
      legend set forth in Section 3.1.
    

    
         3.4  Investment Intent.  The
      Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder for the Purchaser’s own
      account and with no present intention of distributing or selling the
      Shares or any interest in the Shares. The Purchaser agrees that it will
      not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares  or any interest in
      the Shares  unless such sale or other disposition has been registered or
      qualified (as applicable) under the Securities Act and applicable state
      securities laws or, in the opinion of the Purchaser’s counsel delivered
      to the Company (which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
      Company) such sale or other disposition is exempt from registration or
      qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
      laws.  The Purchaser understands that the sale of the Shares acquired by
      the Purchaser hereunder has not been registered under the Securities
      Act, but the Shares are issued through transactions exempt from the
      registration requirements of, among other things, Section 4(2) of the
      Securities Act and Rule 506 thereunder, and that the reliance of the
      Company on such exemption from registration is predicated in part on
      these representations and warranties of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser
      acknowledges that pursuant to Section 3.1 a restrictive legend
      consistent with the foregoing has been or will be placed on the
      certificates representing the shares of Common Stock until such legend
      is permitted to be removed under applicable law. The Purchaser will have
      no right to require registration of the shares of Common Stock, and the
      Company is under no obligation to cause an exemption for resale to be
      available or register the shares of Common Stock, except as provided in
      Section IV below.

         3.5  No Other Representations.  No
      oral or written representations have been made to the Purchaser in
      connection with the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Shares which were in
      any way inconsistent with the information included in the Private
      Placement Memorandum dated October 19, 2009, the Supplement thereto
      dated November 20, 2009, and this Subscription Agreement.  The Purchaser
      has not made its decision to acquire Shares or to execute and deliver
      this Agreement on the basis of any belief that any officer, director or
      affiliate of the Company or any current stockholder of the Company would
      make an investment in the Company now or in the future.
    

    
      4.  Registration.
    

    
         4.1  Required Registration. Subject
      to exceptions and limitations described herein, the Company shall use
      its best efforts, within six months of the closing of the Private
      Placement, to cause a Registration Statement to be filed with the
      Commission on Form S-3, if available, or, if Form S-3 is not available
      for the registration of the Shares, on such form as may be prescribed by
      the Commission, providing for the resale of the Shares.  Such
      Registration Statement shall contain all appropriate undertakings
      necessary to comply with Rule 415 under the Securities Act pertaining to
      “shelf registration” or delayed offerings of securities.  The Company
      shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause the Commission to declare
      such Registration Statement effective and to maintain the effectiveness
      of such Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4.3 below.
    

    
         4.2  Obligations of the Company.  If
      and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof to effect
      or cause the registration of any Shares under the Securities Act as
      provided herein, the Company shall:
    

    
           4.2.1  use its best efforts to prepare and file with the Commission
      a Registration Statement with respect to such Shares and use its
      best  reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
      and remain effective;
    

    
           4.2.2  prepare and file with the Commission such amendments to such
      Registration Statement (including post-effective amendments) and
      supplements to the prospectus included therein as may be necessary to
      keep such Registration Statement effective, subject to the
      qualifications in Section 4(a), and to comply with the provisions of the
      Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all
      Shares covered by such Registration Statement during such period in
      accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
      Purchaser  set forth in such Registration Statement;
    

    
           4.2.3  furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of such
      Registration Statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto
      (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the
      prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
      preliminary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the
      Securities Act, and such other documents, as the Purchaser may
      reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other
      disposition of the Shares owned by the Purchaser;
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        
          7
        

        
          

        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
           4.2.4  use its best efforts to register and/or qualify the
      securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other
      securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
      requested by the Purchasers participating in the Registration and as may
      be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of such Shares, provided,
      however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
      contrary, in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be
      qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in
      connection with the qualification of the Shares be borne by selling
      shareholders, the Purchasers shall pay their pro rata share of such
      expenses;
    

    
           4.2.5  notify the Purchaser at any time when a prospectus relating
      to his or its Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under
      the Securities Act, of the Company’s becoming aware that the prospectus
      included in the related Registration Statement, as then in effect,
      includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
      material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
      statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
      existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to the Purchaser a reasonable
      number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as
      thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities,
      such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact
      or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
      necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of
      the circumstances then existing;
    

    
           4.2.6  otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
      rules and regulations of the Commission;
    

    
           4.2.7  cause all such Shares on such Registration Statement to be
      listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation service
      (including The NASDAQ Global Select Market) on which similar securities
      issued by the Company are then listed; and
    

    
           4.2.8  notify the Purchaser of any stop order threatened or issued
      by the Commission and take all actions reasonably necessary to prevent
      the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.
    

    
         4.3  Other Procedures.
    

    
           4.3.1  Subject to the Company’s general obligation to use its best
      efforts under Section 3, the Company shall be required to maintain the
      effectiveness of a Registration Statement (under Form S-3) until the
      earlier of (i) the date of settlement of and sale of all Shares or (ii)
      24 months from the effective date of the Registration Statement.
    

    
           4.3.2  In consideration of the Company’s obligations under this
      Agreement, the Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from
      the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
      Section 4.2.5 herein, the Purchaser shall forthwith discontinue its or
      his sale of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such
      Shares until the Purchaser’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented
      or amended prospectus contemplated by said Section 4.2.5 and, if
      so directed by the Company, shall deliver to the Company (at the
      Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in
      the Purchaser’s possession of the prospectus covering such Shares
      current at the time of receipt of such notice.
    

    
           4.3.3  The Company’s obligation to file any Registration Statement
      or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, shall be subject to
      each Purchaser, as applicable, furnishing to the Company in writing upon
      the Company’s reasonable request such information and documents
      regarding such Purchaser and the distribution of such Purchaser’s Shares
      as may reasonably be required to be disclosed in the Registration
      Statement in question by the rules and regulations under the Securities
      Act or under any other applicable securities or blue sky laws of the
      jurisdiction referred to in Section 4.2.4 herein.  The Company’s
      obligations are also subject to each Purchaser promptly executing any
      representation letter concerning compliance with Regulation M under the
      Exchange Act (or any successor rule or regulation).
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        
          8
        

        
          

        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    

    

    
           4.3.4  If any such registration or comparable statement refers to
      the Purchaser by name or otherwise as a shareholder of the Company, but
      such reference to the Purchaser by name or otherwise is not required by
      the Securities Act or the rules thereunder, then each Purchaser shall
      have the right to require the deletion of the reference to the
      Purchaser, as may be applicable.
    

    
           4.3.5  In connection with the sale of Shares, the Company shall
      deliver to each purchaser a copy of the necessary prospectus and, if
      applicable, prospectus supplement, within the time required by Section
      5(b) of the Securities Act.
    

    
         4.4  Registration Expenses.  In
      connection with any registration of Shares pursuant to this Section 4,
      the Company shall, whether or not any such registration shall become
      effective, from time to time, pay all expenses (other than Selling
      Expenses) incident to its performance of or compliance, including,
      without limitation, all registration, and filing fees, fees and expenses
      of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, word processing,
      printing and copying expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and
      disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent public
      accountants and other persons retained by the Company.
    

    
      5.  Indemnification.  Purchaser hereby agrees to
      indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any corporation or entity
      affiliated with the Company, the officers, directors, agents and
      employees of the Company and any professional advisors thereto, from and
      against any and all loss, damage, liability or expense, including costs
      and reasonable attorneys’ fees, to which they may become subject or
      which they may incur by reason of or in connection with any
      misrepresentation made by Purchaser herein, or any breach of any of his
      or her representations and warranties or Purchaser’s failure to fulfill
      any of the covenants or agreements under this Subscription Agreement.
    

    
      6.  Issuance of Additional Shares in Certain Events.  The
      Company is in the process of exploring alternatives for raising
      additional capital subsequent to the close of the Private Placement to
      further strengthen the Company’s financial condition and enhance its
      capital ratios and liquidity.  The terms of any such offering of
      additional securities may be more favorable to investors than those
      offered in the Private Placement.  In the event the Company issues
      additional common stock within three months of the close of this Private
      Placement on terms more favorable than those in this Private Placement,
      investors in this Private Placement will automatically receive
      additional shares of the Company’s common stock as soon as practicable
      following the close of such subsequent offering in such amount as to
      effectively make the purchase price per share paid by such investors
      approximately equal to those paid by investors in the subsequent
      offering.  If the Company offers securities convertible into common
      stock at a conversion price less than the price paid for common stock in
      this Private Placement, then the investors in this Private Placement
      would receive any additional shares to which they are entitled as soon
      as practicable following the conversion of any such shares into common
      stock, rather than upon the close of the offering; provided, however,
      that in order for investors in this Private Placement to have the right
      to receive any additional shares, such conversion must occur within six
      months of the close of the Private Placement.
