Term. Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation agree to employ Employee and Employee agrees to serve Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation as President and Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, for a term of three (3) years, commencing November 1, 2002 and ending October 31, 2005, unless this Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6, below. 2. Services and Exclusivity of Services. So long as this Agreement shall continue in effect, Employee shall devote his full business time, energy and ability exclusively to the business, affairs and interests of Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation and their subsidiaries and matters related thereto, shall use Employee's best efforts and abilities to promote the Bank's and Hanmi Financial Corporation's interests, and shall perform the services contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with policies established by and under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Bank and Hanmi Financial ("Board"). Employee agrees to faithfully and diligently promote the business, affairs and interests of Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation. Without the prior express written authorization of the Board, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, during the term of this Agreement: (a) render services to any other person or firm for compensation or (b) engage in any activity competitive with or adverse to the Bank's or Hanmi Financial Corporation's business, whether alone, as a partner, or as an officer, director, employee, consultant or significant investor of or in any other entity. (An investment of greater than 1% of the outstanding capital or equity securities of an entity shall be deemed significant for these purposes.) 3. Specific Position; Duties and Responsibilities. The Bank, Hanmi Financial Corporation and Employee agree that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Bank will employ Employee and Employee will serve Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation as the President and Chief Executive Officer for the duration of this Agreement. Employee agrees to observe and comply with the rules and regulations of Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation respecting the performance of Employee's duties and agrees to carry out and perform orders, directions and policies of Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation and its Board as they may be, from time to time, stated either orally or in writing. Employee shall have such corporate power and authority as shall reasonably be required to enable the discharge of duties as President and Chief Executive Officer of Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation. For the term of this Agreement, Employee shall report to the Board. 4. Compensation. a) Base and Incentive Compensation During the term of this Agreement, beginning November 1, 2002, Bank (and not Hanmi Financial Corporation) agrees to pay Employee a base salary (the "Base Salary") at the annual rate of $250,000.00, less withholdings for his services as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation. If employed in the second and third years under this Agreement, Bank (and not Hanmi Financial Corporation) will provide Employee with a cost-of-living increase in an amount not to exceed five (5%) percent of Employee's previous year's base salary in each of the second and third years of employment. Employee shall not be entitled to or receive a director's fee for his services on the Board during the term of his employment at Bank. b) Bonus After commencement of the term of this Agreement on November 1, 2002, Employee shall be eligible for a bonus at the end of each fiscal year of employment in the amount of four percent (4%) of the amount of Bank's (and not Hanmi Financial Corporation's) pre-tax profits which exceed twenty percent (20%) of the primary capital of that year. In no event shall Employee's bonus exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of Employee's annual Base Salary in the year in which he is eligible for a bonus. There shall be no other bonuses. If Employee is employed less than a full fiscal year, the bonus will be paid to Employee on a pro-rata basis for that portion of the fiscal year in which Employee was employed as Chief Executive Officer but such bonus shall not be paid out until January of the year following Employee's termination. It is the obligation of the Bank, and not Hanmi Financial Corporation, to pay any bonus owed to Employee pursuant to this Paragraph. Pre-Tax Profit Determination The computation of Bank's pre-tax profit shall be determined by Bank's outside auditors and certified public accountants as approved by the Board. The computation of Bank's pre-tax profit shall be conclusive and binding on Bank and Employee. In the event of a dispute under this Section, the sole determination by the arbitrator shall be whether the pre-tax profit was determined in conformity with this paragraph -- i.e., whether the pre-tax profit was determined by Bank's outside auditors and certified public accountants, and was approved by the Board. c) Stock Options Pursuant to and subject to the terms of Financial Corporation's Stock Option Plan, for the term of this Agreement, Hanmi Financial Corporation (and not the Bank) will grant Employee a stock option consisting of a maximum total of forty thousand (40,000) shares of Financial Corporation's common stock at the market price at the time of grant. The option will vest as follows over the three year term of this Agreement: 13,334 shares on November 1, 2002, and 13,333 shares on November 1, 2003 and November 1, 2004 respectively, and shall be exercisable at the time of each grant. Any such option will be subject to all of the terms and provisions of Hanmi Financial Corporation's Stock Option Plan and the form of Stock Option Agreement to be executed by Hanmi Financial Corporation and Employee, which Stock Option Plan and Stock Option Agreement are incorporated in full into this Agreement. Should Employee be terminated without cause, this option shall expire no later than thirty (30) days after such termination. Should Employee be terminated for cause, this option shall expire immediately. Reference should be made to Hanmi Financial Corporation's Stock Option Plan and form of Stock Option Agreement for full and complete terms and conditions governing stock option to be granted. 5. Perquisites a) Automobile Allowance and Insurance Bank (and not Hanmi Financial Corporation) will provide Employee with a suitable automobile for his use in the performance of his duties and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of maintaining and operating said automobile, including automobile liability insurance. Upon the termination of Employee's employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation, Employee shall return the automobile in good working condition, less normal wear and tear for reasonable usage of the automobile. b) Vacation Employee shall accrue 15 days of paid vacation annually from the Bank (and not Hanmi Financial Corporation) in exchange for his services hereunder as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation. Employee shall take at least two consecutive weeks vacation during each year of his employment by the Bank. Employee shall accrue a maximum of 22 & 1/2 days of vacation. Once Employee accrues 22 & 1/2 days of vacation, Employee shall cease accruing any additional vacation until Employee's vacation accrual falls below 22 & 1/2 days. c) Insurance Benefits Bank (and not Hanmi Financial Corporation) shall provide Employee and Employee's spouse and dependent children, where applicable, at Bank's expense, participation in accident and health insurance at no cost to Employee, and term life insurance benefits for Employee to the maximum benefits available under Bank's Group Insurance program, except that term life insurance shall not be in excess of $150,000 for Employee. d) Professional Society Membership Bank (and not Hanmi Financial Corporation) agrees to reimburse Employee for professional society memberships which are related to and enhance Employee's employment hereunder. e) Continuing Education Bank (and not Hanmi Financial Corporation) agrees to reimburse Employee for continuing education which are related to and enhance Employee's employment hereunder. f) Country Club Membership Bank (and not Hanmi Financial Corporation) agrees to reimburse Employee for reasonable initiation fees and monthly dues related to a country club membership during Employee's employment hereunder. The country club must be located in Los Angeles County or Orange County. 6. Termination. The compensation and other benefits and perquisites provided to Employee pursuant to this Agreement, and the employment of Employee as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and Hanmi Financial Corporation, shall be terminated prior to expiration of the term of this Agreement as provided in this Section: a) Disability. In the event that Employee shall fail, because of illness, incapacity or injury which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Bank or its insurers and acceptable to Employee or Employee's legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be withheld unreasonably) to render for three consecutive months or shorter periods aggregating 60 or more business days in any twelve (12)-month period, the services contemplated by this Agreement, Employee's employment hereunder may be terminated, as allowed by law. b) Death. In the event of Employee's death during the term of this Agreement, Employee's Base Salary and any other right or benefit shall terminate. c) Action by Supervisory Authority. If Bank or Hanmi Financial Corporation is ordered to remove, suspend, or take any other action against Employee (by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act [12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(3) or (e)(4) or (g)(1)]), or Bank (or Hanmi Financial Corporation) is closed or in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act [12 U.S.C. 1813(x)(1)]) or Bank or Hanmi Financial Corporation is taken over by the California State Department of Financial Institutions, the Federal Reserve, or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Bank or Hanmi Financial Corporation may immediately terminate this Agreement without further liability, compensation or obligation to Employee, except that Employee shall be entitled to his rights, if any, under Paragraph 4(c) hereof and the Stock Option Plan referred to therein. d) For Cause Employee's employment hereunder shall be terminated and all of his rights to receive Base Salary, Bonus or Stock Options under Paragraph 4 of the Agreement or any other benefit or perquisite provided to Employee under this Agreement except the payment of accrued but unused vacation, shall terminate upon a good faith determination by the Board that Employee is or has been personally dishonest, incompetent, or is engaging or has engaged in willful or negligent misconduct. e) Without Cause Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that either the Employee or the Bank (or Hanmi Financial Corporation) may terminate this Agreement, including any extensions thereto, without cause at any time. i. If Bank (or Hanmi Financial Corporation) terminates this Agreement without cause, upon such termination and upon Employee's execution of a general release agreement, the Bank (and not Hanmi Financial Corporation) shall pay Employee his Base Salary, excluding any bonuses, for a period of six (6) months or for the remaining duration of the term of this Agreement, whichever is lesser. In no event will Employee be entitled to more than six months of his base salary upon termination. During this six-month period or the remainder of the term of the Agreement, whichever is less, Employee shall not be entitled to any other benefits or perquisites provided by this Agreement. ii. If the Bank (or Hanmi Financial Corporation) terminates this Agreement without cause, Employee shall also be entitled to all of his accrued but unused vacation leave at his then current daily salary rate. iii.

Accordingly, any rule of law, including but not limited to Section 1654 of the California Civil Code, or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to affect the intent of the parties. 27. Arbitration.

Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information except for those inventions that either: a) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; b) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. 2.
