Party may, in its discretion and upon reasonable prior notice to Pledgor, discharge taxes and other encumbrances at any time levied
or placed on any of the Collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary filing fees. The Pledgor agrees to reimburse the
Secured Party on demand for any and all expenditures so made. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to the Pledgor to make
any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof relieve the Pledgor of any default.

 

10.2.     Secured
Party’s Obligations and Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Pledgor shall remain liable under
each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by the Pledgor thereunder. The Secured Party
shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or
the receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated in
any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Pledgor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry

Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Secured Party to the Pledgor may at any time following
the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default be applied to or set off against any of the Secured Obligations then due
and owing.

Section 12.         Notification
to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral. The Pledgor shall hold any proceeds of the Collateral received
by the Pledgor while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as trustee for the Secured Party without commingling the
same with other funds of the Pledgor and shall turn the same over to the Secured Party in the identical form received, together
with any necessary endorsements or assignments. The Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of the Collateral received by the Secured
Party pursuant to this Section 12 to the Secured Obligations, such proceeds to be immediately entered after final payment in cash
or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.

 

Section
13.          Power of Attorney.

 

13.1.       Appointment
and Powers of Secured Party.

 

(a)          Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured
Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor or in the Secured Party’s own name, for the purpose of carrying
out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that
may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
hereby gives such attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the Pledgor, without notice to or assent by the Pledgor, to generally
to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is
consistent with the UCC and this Agreement and as fully and completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof
for all purposes, and to do at the Pledgor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured
Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s security interest therein,
in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Pledgor might do, including, without limitation,
the execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements,
assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral.

 

(b)          The
Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution,
as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor or in
the Secured Party’s own name and hereby gives such attorneys the power and right, on behalf of the Pledgor, without notice
to or assent by the Pledgor, to the extent that the Pledgor’s authorization given in Section 3 is not sufficient,
to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without the Pledgor’s signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement
in substitution for a financing statement, as the Secured Party may deem appropriate and to execute in the Pledgor’s name
such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require the Pledgor’s signature.

 

13.2.       Ratification
by Pledgor. To the extent permitted by Law, the Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorneys shall lawfully do or cause
to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

 

    	-5-

    	 

    

 

13.3.       No
Duty on Secured Party. The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon the Secured Party to exercise any such powers.

 

Section 14.         Remedies.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may, without notice to or demand upon the Pledgor,
declare or deem this Agreement to be in default, and the Secured Party shall thereafter have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement
hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, including,
without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose the Secured Party may, so far as the Pledgor
can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, the Secured Party may in its discretion require the Pledgor to assemble
all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of the Pledgor’s principal office(s)
or at such other locations as the Secured Party may designate and that are reasonably convenient to Pledgor and Secured Party.
In addition, the Pledgor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any
of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate
possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights with respect thereto.

 

Section 15.         Further
Assurances. If at any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof, but prior to the indefeasible payment
and performance in full of all Secured Obligations, the fair market value of the Collateral (as reasonably determined by the Secured
Party) is less than five (5) times the aggregate value of (i) the principal amount of, (ii) accrued, but unpaid interest, under,
and (iii) any fees due and owing under, the then outstanding Note, then the Pledgor shall cause Cartesian to promptly, but no later
than thirty (30) days following receipt of the request by Elutions, enter into a security agreement with the Secured Party, in
form and substance substantially similar to this Agreement with such deviations where required to account for UK Law and mutually
agreeable to the Secured Party and Cartesian, pursuant to which Cartesian shall grant the Secured Party a first priority security
interest in and to, and charge over, (a) the equipment sold by Elutions and/or its Affiliates to Cartesian for purposes of supplying
such equipment to clients pursuant to Booked Orders and related Client Statements of Work and (b) the accounts receivable due and
owing to Cartesian in connection with the Booked Orders and related Client Statements of Work.

 

Section 16.         No
Waiver by Secured Party, etc. The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under the
Secured Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the Secured Party. No delay or omission
on the part of the Secured Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on
any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of the
Secured Party with respect to the Secured Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or
papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such
times as the Secured Party deems expedient.

Section 17.         Suretyship
Waivers by Pledgor. The Pledgor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans
made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices
of any description. With respect to both the Secured Obligations and the Collateral, the Pledgor assents to any extension or postponement
of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security
interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance
of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or
times as the Secured Party may deem advisable. The Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral
or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining
thereto. The Pledgor further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

 

Section 18.         Marshalling.
The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to,
this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort
to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder and in respect
of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing
or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Pledgor hereby agrees that it shall not invoke any Law relating to the marshalling
of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or
under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations
is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent
that it lawfully may, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such Laws.

 

Section 19.         Proceeds
of Dispositions; Expenses. The Pledgor shall pay to the Secured Party on demand any and all reasonable expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Secured Party in protecting, preserving or enforcing
the Secured Party’s rights under or in respect of this Agreement, any of the Secured Obligations or any of the Collateral.
After deducting such expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale of the Secured Obligations or Collateral shall,
to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations in such order or preference as the
Secured Party may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any Secured Obligations not then due. Upon the final
payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Secured Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C)
or 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, any excess shall be returned to the Pledgor, and the Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency
in the payment of the Secured Obligations.

 

Section 20.         Overdue
Amounts. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by the Pledgor hereunder shall be a debt secured by the Collateral and
shall bear, whether before or after judgment, interest at an interest rate equal to the then applicable default interest rate under
the Note (without duplication of amounts payable under the Note).

 

Section 21.         Termination
of Security Interests; Releases of Collateral.

 

21.1.     Upon
any delivery or shipment of any Equipment Collateral to a client by or on behalf of Pledgor, or otherwise upon any installation
or deployment of such Equipment Collateral, pursuant to a Booked Order or Client Statement of Work, the security interests on such
Equipment Collateral as granted hereunder shall terminate.

such documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the relevant security interests or the release
of the relevant Collateral, as the case may be.

 

21.4.     Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any settlement or discharge between the Pledgor and the Secured Party or termination
of this Agreement shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the Secured Party by the Pledgor or any other person on behalf
of the Pledgor, as the case may be, being avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application for the time being in force and, if any such security or payment
is so avoided or reduced, the Secured Party shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of such security or payment from the
Pledgor subsequently as if such settlement or discharge had not occurred.

Cathay
General Bancorp

2005
Incentive Plan

 

Executive Officer Annual Cash Bonus
Program

 

This Executive Officer
Annual Cash Bonus Program (this “Program”) is adopted pursuant to Section 12 of the Cathay General Bancorp 2005 Incentive
Plan (the “2005 Plan”) and the policy of Cathay General Bancorp (the “Company”) to attract, motivate, and
retain capable executive management and other key personnel by providing incentives that are commensurate with prudent risk taking,
that does not pose a threat to the safety and soundness of the Company, and that seeks to link compensation to the Company’s
overall strategic goals.

 

		1.	Eligibility

 

Eligibility to participate
in this Program shall be limited to executive officers of the Company or of its subsidiary, Cathay Bank, if such an executive officer’s
participation for a calendar year (or portion of a calendar year) (a “Program Year”) is approved by the Compensation
Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”). Executive officers so approved by the Committee
shall be referred to herein as “Participants.”

 

		2.	Determination of Bonus Award

 

For each Program Year,
each Participant may be eligible to receive a payment in cash (a “Bonus Award”) in accordance with the terms provided
herein and any other terms established by the Committee. Bonus Awards under this Program shall constitute Cash Awards under Section
12 of the 2005 Plan.

 

To determine a
Participant’s potential Bonus Award, the Committee may in its sole discretion establish, for a Program Year,
Company-wide financial criteria, including, without limitation, achievement of quantifiable metrics such as targeted diluted
earnings per share, return on average assets, loan growth, deposit growth, and efficiency ratio (the “Financial
Criteria”), and metric and/or non-metric individual or department-wide performance goals (the “Performance
Goals”).

 

In determining the
Financial Criteria and the Performance Goals, the Committee should consider whether the arrangements provided in this Program are
appropriately balanced and consistent with the Company’s and Cathay Bank’s safety and soundness, and whether they are
compatible with effective controls and risk-management. For example, Bonus Awards to risk-management and control officers should
be based primarily on the achievement of their functions (e.g., adherence to internal controls) and should not be based
substantially on the financial performance of the business units they review. The weighting between the Financial Criteria and
Performance Goals will be individually set for each Participant from time to time and may relate to the Company and/or its subsidiaries,
one or more of its departments or units, or any combination of the foregoing, on a consolidated or nonconsolidated basis, as the
Committee may determine in its sole discretion. The Financial Criteria and Performance Goals should also, to the extent appropriate,
be linked to the goals and objectives of the Company’s strategic plan for the Program Year.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Committee may adjust the performance results for the Financial Criteria to the extent the Committee
deems they may have been affected by material events outside the ordinary course of business, such as one-time acquisition charges.
In addition, if the Committee deems that the Financial Criteria and/or the Performance Goals may encourage Participants
to expose the Company or Cathay Bank to imprudent risks, the Committee may modify such criteria or goals and the Program as needed
to ensure that they are appropriately sensitive to risk and risk outcomes, balanced in terms of size, type, and time horizon of
the inherent risks of the Participant’s activities, and consistent with safety and soundness. Also, the Committee may adjust
the amount of the Bonus Award based on measures that take into account the risk the Participant’s activities may pose. Such
measures may be quantitative, or the size of a risk adjustment may be set judgmentally, subject to appropriate oversight.

 

In determining Financial
Criteria and Performance Goals for a Participant who is a “covered employee” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Committee may take into consideration whether such criteria
and compensation thereon qualifies as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code and under the
2005 Plan. Any determination of eligibility or the declaration of a Bonus Awards under this Program to a Participant who is a “covered
employee” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be administered in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections
4 and 13 of the 2005 Plan.

 

		3.	Timing and Payment of Bonus Awards

 

Following completion
of a Program Year, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Financial Criteria and Performance Goals for each Participant
have been achieved or exceeded and the amount of the Bonus Award to be paid. The Committee shall not only determine the amount
of Bonus Awards to be paid, but reserves the right in its discretion to reduce or eliminate any Bonus Awards.

 

A Participant shall
not have a legally-binding right to a Bonus Award under this Program until the Committee has made the determinations set forth
above and declared that a Bonus Award is payable under the Program. In accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(4), all
Bonus Awards shall be distributed as soon as administratively practicable following the Committee’s declaration of a Participant’s
Bonus Award, but in no event will such a distribution be made later than 2-1/2 months following the end of the year in which such
a declaration is made.

 

		4.	Additional Terms and Conditions

 

Adoption of this
Plan. This Program has become effective January 1, 2014, and shall continue in effect until amended, modified, suspended, or
terminated. This Program may be amended, modified, suspended, or terminated by the Committee in its sole discretion without prior
notice to the Participants.

No Right of Employment.
This Program shall not constitute a contract of employment between the Company or its subsidiaries and any person eligible
for participation in this Program or the 2005 Plan. Nothing contained in this Program, the 2005 Plan, or any Bonus Award made pursuant
to this Program shall confer upon any eligible Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, or any guarantee of the award of future bonuses or other incentives, or shall interfere with, affect, or restrict
in any way the right of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are expressly reserved, to discharge any employee at any time for
any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

 

Clawback. By
accepting a Bonus Award made under this Program, each Participant agrees that the Company may recover some or all of the amounts
paid with respect to a Bonus Award, or recoup some or all of the value thereof by offset from other amounts owed to the Participant
by the Company or its subsidiaries, at any time during the three calendar years following payment hereunder, if and to the extent
that the Committee determines that (i) federal or state law or the listing requirements of the exchange on which the Company’s
stock is listed for trading so require, (ii) the Financial Criteria and Performance Goals required for the Bonus Award were not
met, or not met to the extent necessary to support the amount of the Bonus Award that was paid, or (iii) the payment of the Bonus
Award was based on the achievement of financial results, as reported in an Annual Report on Form 10-K, a Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, or other report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that were subsequently the subject of a restatement due
to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws (other than
as a result of a change in accounting principles).

 

The right of recovery
under this paragraph shall be subject to any general clawback policy that is or may be adopted by the Company, the terms of which
shall be incorporated herein to the extent applicable.

 

Miscellaneous. Subject
to the terms of any such plan, no Bonus Award shall be deemed salary or compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under
any employee benefit plan or other arrangement of the Company, unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine otherwise.

 

The Company shall make
available copies of this Program and all amendments and any administrative rules or procedures to all Participants at reasonable
times upon request.

 

This Program and the
payment of Bonus Awards shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations, including the withholding
of any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes and to such approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required.
The terms of this Program shall be binding upon the Company and its successors.
