Form of Waiver

 EXHIBIT 10.2 
 WAIVER 
 In consideration for the benefits I will receive as a result of my employer’s participation in the
United States Department of the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program, I hereby voluntarily waive any claim against the United States or my employer for any changes to my compensation or benefits that are required to comply with the
regulation issued by the Department of the Treasury as published in the Federal Register on October 20, 2008. 
 I acknowledge that this regulation may
require modification of the compensation, bonus, incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements, policies and agreements (including so-called “golden parachute” agreements) that I have with my employer or in which I participate as they
relate to the period the United States holds any equity or debt securities of my employer acquired through the TARP Capital Purchase Program. 
 This waiver
includes all claims I may have under the laws of the United States or any state related to the requirements imposed by the aforementioned regulation, including without limitation a claim for any compensation or other payments I would otherwise
receive, any challenge to the process by which this regulation was adopted and any tort or constitutional claim about the effect of these regulations on my employment relationship. 
  

					
		 		 	US Treasury Sequence #132Amendment to Jae Whan Yoo Employment Agreement

 EXHIBIT 10.3 
 CENTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND CENTER BANK 
 AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 WHEREAS, Jae Whan Yoo (“Executive”) entered into an Employment Agreement with Center Financial Corporation and Center Bank (collectively
referred to herein as the “Company”) effective January 16, 2007 (the “Agreement”), specifying the terms of Executive’s employment by the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer; 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement in order to comply with the terms and conditions of the TARP Program as discussed below;

 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree that the following shall take effect as of the date hereof: 
  

	 	4.	Center Financial Corporation (“Center Financial”), has entered or intends to enter into agreements with the U.S. Treasury Department (“UST”) under which Center
Financial will issue preferred shares and other securities to the UST as part of the Troubled Assets Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) established under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”).
Executive is a Senior Executive Officer (as such term is defined under EESA), has determined that Center Financial’s participation in the CPP will be of material benefit to Executive, approved Center Financial’s participation in the CPP,
requested that Center Financial participate in the CPP and agrees to abide by all terms of EESA restricting payment of compensation to Executive. 

  

	 	5.	EESA imposes certain restrictions on employment agreements, severance, bonus and incentive compensation, stock options and awards, and other compensation and benefit plans and
arrangements (“Plans”) maintained by Center Financial and its affiliates and requires that such restrictions remain in place for so long as the UST holds any debt or equity securities issued by Center Financial. The parties hereby agree
that all Plans providing benefits to Executive shall be construed and interpreted at all times that the UST maintains any debt or equity investment in Center Financial in a manner consistent with EESA, and all such Plans shall be deemed to have been
amended as determined by the Company so as to comply with the restrictions imposed by EESA. Executive recognizes that such changes may result in the reduction or elimination of benefits otherwise provided to Executive under this Agreement or any
other Plan. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement or any other Plan providing benefits to Executive, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement or any other Plan is determined by the Company to be subject to and not in compliance
with EESA, including the timing, amount or entitlement of Executive to any payment of severance, bonus or any other amounts, such provisions shall be interpreted and deemed to have been amended to comply with the terms of EESA. Without limiting the
foregoing, any “golden parachute payment” provided under this Agreement or any other Plan, as defined for purposes of EESA and Section 280(G)(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall be
prohibited and aggregate severance payments and benefits due as a result of Executive’s “involuntary termination” of employment as defined for purposes of EESA and the Code or in connection with any bankruptcy filing, insolvency or
receivership of Center Financial, Center Bank or certain other entities shall be limited to an amount not exceeding three times Executive’s “base amount” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code. The parties hereto further
agree that (i) Executive shall at no time be entitled to receive any compensation based upon incentives that encourage Executive to take unnecessary and excessive risks on behalf of the Company; (ii) Executive shall promptly repay the
Company or any other affiliated entity compensating Executive, within thirty (30) days of demand, the amount of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to Executive based upon statements of earnings, gains or other criteria that are later
determined to be materially inaccurate; and (iii) all golden parachute payments to Executive are prohibited. 

	 	6.	Executive and the Company acknowledge that the Agreement already provides that severance compensation under Paragraph F.4 or F.5 of the Agreement will be reduced as provided below
to avoid the penalties imposed on “golden parachute payments” under the Code, which is also a requirement of EESA. 

  

	 	(a)	If the present value of all Executive’s severance compensation provided by the Company under Paragraph F.4 and F.5 and outside this Agreement is high enough to cause any such
payment to be a “golden parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or EESA), then one or more of such payments will be reduced by the minimum amount required to prevent the severance compensation under this
Agreement from being a “golden parachute payment.” 

  

	 	(b)	Executive may direct the Company regarding the order of reducing severance compensation and other payments from the Company to comply with this paragraph. 

 

	 	7.	No Further Amendment. Except as set forth herein the terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without modification or amendment. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of November 25, 2008.

 EXHIBIT 10.4 
 CENTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND CENTER BANK 
 AGREEMENT CONCERNING COMPENSATION PROVISIONS 

 WHEREAS, Lisa Kim Pai (“Executive”) was granted certain severance and other compensation by the Personnel and
Compensation Committee of Center Financial Corporation and Center Bank (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”) on May 14, 2008, in connection with Executive’s employment by the Company as Executive Vice President,
General Counsel, Chief Risk Officer and Corporate Secretary (the “Compensation Provisions”); 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire
to amend the Compensation Provisions in order to comply with the terms and conditions of the TARP Program as discussed below; 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree that the following shall take effect as of the date hereof: 
  

	 	8.	Center Financial Corporation (“Center Financial”), has entered or intends to enter into agreements with the U.S. Treasury Department (“UST”) under which Center
Financial will issue preferred shares and other securities to the UST as part of the Troubled Assets Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”) established under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”).
Executive is a Senior Executive Officer (as such term is defined under EESA), has determined that Center Financial’s participation in the CPP will be of material benefit to Executive, approved Center Financial’s participation in the CPP,
requested that Center Financial participate in the CPP and agrees to abide by all terms of EESA restricting payment of compensation to Executive. 

  

	 	9.	EESA imposes certain restrictions on employment agreements, severance, bonus and incentive compensation, stock options and awards, and other compensation and benefit plans and
arrangements (“Plans”) maintained by Center Financial and its affiliates and requires that such restrictions remain in place for so long as the UST holds any debt or equity securities issued by Center Financial. The parties hereby agree
that all Plans providing benefits to Executive shall be construed and interpreted at all times that the UST maintains any debt or equity investment in Center Financial in a manner consistent with EESA, and all such Plans shall be deemed to have been
amended as determined by the Company so as to comply with the restrictions imposed by EESA. Executive recognizes that such changes may result in the reduction or elimination of benefits otherwise provided to Executive under this agreement or any
other Plan. Notwithstanding any other terms of this agreement or any other Plan providing benefits to Executive, to the extent that any provision of this agreement or any other Plan is determined by the Company to be subject to and not in compliance
with EESA, including the timing, amount or entitlement of Executive to any payment of severance, bonus or any other amounts, such provisions shall be interpreted and deemed to have been amended to comply with the terms of EESA. Without limiting the
foregoing, any “golden parachute payment” provided under this Agreement or any other Plan, as defined for purposes of EESA and Section 280(G)(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall be
prohibited and aggregate severance payments and benefits due as a result of Executive’s “involuntary termination” of employment as defined for purposes of EESA and the Code or in connection with any bankruptcy filing, insolvency or
receivership of Center Financial, Center Bank or certain other entities shall be limited to an amount not exceeding three times Executive’s “base amount” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code. The parties hereto further
agree that (i) Executive shall at no time be entitled to receive any compensation based upon incentives that encourage Executive to take unnecessary and excessive risks on behalf of the Company; (ii) Executive shall promptly repay the
Company or any other affiliated entity compensating Executive, within thirty (30) days of demand, the amount of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to Executive based upon statements of earnings, gains or other criteria that are later
determined to be materially inaccurate; and (iii) all golden parachute payments to Executive are prohibited. 

	 	10.	Executive and the Company agree that the severance compensation under the Compensation Provisions will be reduced as provided below to avoid the penalties imposed on “golden
parachute payments” under the Code, which is also a requirement of EESA. 

  

	 	(a)	If the present value of all Executive’s severance compensation provided by the Company under and outside the Compensation Provisions is high enough to cause any such payment to
be a “golden parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or EESA), then one or more of such payments will be reduced by the minimum amount required to prevent the severance compensation under the Compensation
Provisions from being a “golden parachute payment. 

  

	 	(b)	Executive may direct the Company regarding the order of reducing severance compensation and other payments from the Company to comply with this paragraph. 

 

	 	11.	No Further Amendment. Except as set forth herein the terms of the Compensation Provisions shall remain in full force and effect without modification or amendment.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of November 25, 2008.
