Ladies and Gentlemen:
     Hanmi Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to you (the “Purchaser”) that number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company as determined pursuant to the calculation set forth in Section 1(a) below (the “Shares”). The issuance and sale to the Purchaser of the Shares is to be consummated immediately subsequent to the closing of the issuance and sale of shares of the Company’s Common Stock in its proposed public offering (the “Public Offering”) pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement to be entered into by and between the Company and FBR Capital Markets & Co. (the “Underwriter”). Such Underwriting Agreement, in the form executed by the Company and the Underwriter in connection with the Public Offering, is referred to herein as the “Underwriting Agreement”.
     The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-163206) including a prospectus (the “Registration Statement”), for the registration of the shares to be sold in the Public Offering (the “Public Offering Shares”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Securities Act Regulations”). The term “Base Prospectus” means the prospectus dated November 30, 2009 included in the Registration Statement, including all information incorporated by reference therein. The term “Prospectus Supplement” means the final prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Public Offering Shares in the form first filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, including all information incorporated by reference therein. The term “Prospectus” means the Base Prospectus together with the Prospectus Supplement. The term “Preliminary Prospectus” means the preliminary form of the Prospectus in the form filed with the SEC in connection with the Public Offering pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act Regulations.
     1. Purchase of the Shares by the Purchaser.
          (a) The Company agrees to issue and sell the Shares to the Purchaser as provided in this agreement (the “Agreement”), and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company the Shares at a price per share (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the per share public offering price in the Public Offering (prior to any underwriting discounts and commissions) (the “Offering Price”). The number of shares to be sold by the Company and purchased by the Purchaser shall equal that number of shares equal to 4.9 percent of the Company’s issued and

 


 

outstanding Common Stock (after taking into account the issuance of the shares in the Public Offering); provided, however, if such share amount shall result in the Purchaser becoming the single stockholder of record or beneficial owner of the largest amount of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock at the closing (after taking into account the issuance of the shares in the Public Offering), then the number of shares to be sold by the Company and purchased by the Purchaser shall be reduced by a number such that the Purchaser becomes the stockholder of record or beneficial owner of one (1) share less than the stockholder of the second largest amount of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock at the closing.
          (b) Payment for the Shares shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company to the Purchaser, at the location and at the time of the closing of the Public Offering, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein. The time and date of such payment for the Shares is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate executed by an officer of the Company specifying the exact number of shares that are being purchased by the Purchaser and the purchase price that is being paid therefor.
     Payment for the Shares to be purchased on the Closing Date shall be made against delivery to the Purchaser of the Shares registered in the name of the Purchaser, which Shares shall be uncertificated shares.
     2. Registration Rights. In connection with the purchase of the Shares, the Purchaser and the Company agree to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement containing customary terms and provisions for the resale registration of securities purchased in a private placement (the “Rights Agreement”), solely for the purpose of providing the Purchaser with registration rights with respect to the Shares; provided, however, the Rights Agreement shall provide (i) a covenant by the Company to file the resale registration statement within 45 calendar days following the receipt by the Company of a notice from Purchaser exercising its registration right (the “Demand Notice”) in the case of any registration eligible to made on Form S-3 or comparable form, or within 60 calendar days following the receipt of the Demand Notice by the Company in the case of any registration made on Form S-1 or comparable form; and (ii) a covenant by the Company to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable.
     3. Representations and Warranties of the Company.
