AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of January 10, 2007 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among UCBH Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“UCBH”), UCB Merger II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned Subsidiary of UCBH (“Buyer”), CAB Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Company”), CAB International Holding Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and the sole holder of all of the Company Percentage Interests (as defined below) (“BVI”), and Dr. Paul Shi H. Huang, (“Dr. Huang”), the sole holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of BVI Common Stock (as defined below), and, for purposes of Articles III, IV and VIII and Section 7.3 only, The Chinese American Bank, a New York state-chartered bank (the “Bank”), and, for purposes of Section 8.13(e) only, United Commercial Bank, a California state-chartered bank (“UCB”) and The China Safe Deposit Company, a New York corporation.

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of UCBH and BVI, the managing member of the Company, and the manager of Buyer have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and their shareholders or the sole member, as the case may be, to consummate the business combination transaction provided for herein in which the Company will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, merge with and into Buyer, with Buyer being the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and Dr. Huang has determined that it is in his best interests to consummate the Merger;

WHEREAS, UCBH contemplates that, following the Merger and at its sole and unilateral discretion, UCBH shall effect a sideways merger of the Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company prior to the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer following the Merger, with and into UCBH’s banking subsidiary, UCB, as the surviving company, as provided for in agreements and certificates in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A, B and C;

WHEREAS, the parties intend for the Merger to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Code”); and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1. Definitions. In addition to those terms defined throughout this Agreement, the defined terms used herein have the meanings set forth on Appendix I hereto.

1.2. The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with applicable provisions of the NYBL, the NYBCL, the CFC, the DLLCA and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended and the Riegle-Neal Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, at the Effective Time, the Company shall merge with and into Buyer. Buyer shall be the surviving company (hereinafter sometimes called the “Surviving Company”) in the Merger. The name of the Surviving Company shall be “UCB Merger II, LLC.” Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate legal

existence of the Company shall terminate. The parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

1.3. Closing; Effective Time.

(a) Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at the close of business or other agreed time on the fifth business day after the latest to occur of the conditions set forth in Article IX hereof (other than those conditions which relate to actions to be taken at the Closing) having been waived or satisfied (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P., One Maritime Plaza, Suite 300, San Francisco, California 94111-3492 unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

(b) Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, a certificate of merger complying with the applicable provisions of Section 18-209 of the DLLCA (the “Delaware Certificate of Merger”), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, shall be duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary”), on the Closing Date by the Company and Buyer. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the filing with the Delaware Secretary of the Delaware Certificate of Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”).

1.4. Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 18-209(g) of the DLLCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company, and the Surviving Company shall be a wholly owned Subsidiary of UCBH.

1.5. Conversion of Company Percentage Interests.

(a) At the Effective Time, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth in Article II hereof, all Company Percentage Interests issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of this Agreement and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and cease to exist and be converted into the right to receive the aggregate of the Cash Amount and the Stock Amount (in the aggregate, the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the number of shares of UCBH Common Stock delivered as Merger Consideration shall not be less than such number of shares of UCBH Common Stock as would cause the value of such shares of UCBH Common Stock to equal forty percent (40%) of the sum of (x) the value of such shares of UCBH Common Stock plus (y) the Cash Amount. If the requirement set forth in the preceding sentence would not otherwise be satisfied, then the total number of shares of UCBH Common Stock delivered as Merger Consideration shall be increased and the Cash Amount shall be correspondingly decreased to the minimum extent necessary to satisfy such requirement; provided, that the total value of the Merger Consideration (after taking into account the increase in the number of shares of UCBH Common Stock and the corresponding decrease in the Cash Amount pursuant to this Section 1.5(b)) shall remain the same as the total value of the Merger Consideration would have been had no adjustments been made pursuant to this Section 1.5(b). For purposes of this Section 1.5(b), the value of each share of UCBH Common Stock included in the Merger Consideration shall be determined in such manner and as of such date as is required by applicable federal income tax laws and regulations (including Section 368 of the Code).

1.6. UCBH Capital Stock; Buyer Interests. Each share of UCBH Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and shall not be converted or otherwise affected by the Merger. The membership interest of Buyer outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and shall not be converted or otherwise affected by the Merger.

1.7. Certificate of Formation. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Formation of Buyer, as in effect at the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Formation of the Surviving Company.

1.8. Limited Liability Company Agreement. At the Effective Time, the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Buyer, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law.

1.9. Managers and Officers. The managers and officers of Buyer immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the managers and officers of the Surviving Company, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Agreement of Buyer until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

1.10. Approval by BVI and Dr. Huang.

(a) BVI, being the holder of all the Company Percentage Interests, hereby approves of the Merger and all the transactions contemplated hereby and hereby consents to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Section 1.10(a) shall be deemed a written consent of the members of the Company, dated the date of this Agreement, made pursuant to the authority of the members of the Company to act without a meeting in accordance with Section 18-302(d) of the DLLCA. All approvals and consents set out in this Section 1.10(a) shall have the same force and effect as if they were made or adopted at a validly noticed meeting of the members of the Company and shall not be modified or rescinded and shall be in full force and effect as of the Closing Date.

(b) Dr. Huang, being the holder of all the issued and outstanding shares of BVI Common Stock, hereby approves of the Merger and all the transactions contemplated hereby and hereby consents to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Section 1.10(b) shall be deemed a written consent of the shareholder of BVI, dated the date of this Agreement, made pursuant to the authority of the shareholder of BVI to act without a meeting in accordance with Article 88 of the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004. All approvals and consents set out in this Section 1.10(b) shall have the same force and effect as if they were made or adopted at a validly noticed meeting of the shareholder of the BVI and shall not be modified or rescinded and be full force and effect as of the Closing Date.

ARTICLE II

DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

2.1. Cash Amount Adjustment.

(a) The Cash Amount shall be decreased in accordance with Section 2.1(d) below if the Appraised Properties are conclusively appraised in accordance with Section 2.1(b)-(c) below to have a fair market value less than $30,000,000.

(b) Within twenty-five (25) days after the date hereof, the Company shall deliver to UCBH, at the Company’s sole expense, an appraisal of the fair market value of the Company’s real properties at 77 Bowery, New York, NY 10002 and 38-05 Union Street, Flushing, NY 11354 (the “Appraised Properties”). If UCBH reasonably deems such appraisal to be satisfactory, such appraisal shall be deemed to set forth conclusively the fair market value of the Appraised Properties. If such appraisal is not reasonably satisfactory to UCBH, UCBH shall, within twenty-five (25) days of receipt of the appraisal from the Company, obtain its own appraisal, at UCBH’s sole expense, of the fair market value of the Appraised Properties. The Company and UCBH shall cooperate fully with the other’s appraiser, including providing all information necessary or appropriate to an appraisal, as requested by either appraiser. All information provided to one appraiser shall be provided to both appraisers, the Company and UCBH. Unless the higher of the appraised values obtained by the Company and UCBH is more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower appraised value, the two appraised values shall be averaged, and such average shall be deemed to conclusively establish the fair market value of the Appraised Properties.

(c) If the higher of the appraised values obtained by the Company and UCBH is more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower appraised value, a third appraiser shall be appointed by the first two appraisers. The fee for the third appraiser shall be paid equally by the Company and UCBH, provided that such fee shall not materially exceed the average of the fee paid to the two initial appraisers, who shall cooperate fully with such third appraiser. If all three appraisers agree on a fair market value after consultation, such agreed value shall be deemed conclusively to be the fair market value of the Appraised Properties. If all three appraisers cannot agree on a fair market value after consultation, the third appraiser shall, after conducting an independent appraisal of the Appraised Properties, provide an independent fair market value of the Appraised Properties, which value may not be in the form of a range of values but shall be a fixed value. The conclusively appraised fair market value of the Appraised Properties shall be deemed to be the average of all three appraisals, with the third appraiser’s finding weighted at twice the finding of the initial two appraisers.

(d) If the Appraised Properties are conclusively appraised in accordance with Section 2.1(b)-(c) above to have a fair market value less than $30,000,000, the Cash Amount shall be decreased by an amount equal to the product of (i) the difference between $30,000,000 and the conclusively appraised fair market value, and (ii) 0.60, which amount shall be confirmed in writing by UCBH, Buyer and the Company.

2.2. Transfer of Company Percentage Interests.

BVI shall provide UCBH appropriate and necessary documentation enabling BVI to establish, if applicable, an exemption from tax withholding in connection with payment of the Merger Consideration to BVI, accompanied by documents transferring to Buyer all right, title and interest of BVI to and in all of the Company Percentage Interests. Upon delivery of documents transferring to Buyer all right, title and interest in and to all of the Company’s Percentage Interests, together with properly completed and duly executed documentation enabling BVI to establish, if applicable, an exemption from tax withholding in connection with payment of the Merger Consideration to BVI, BVI shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration (subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 hereof).

2.3. Conversion Procedures.

(a) If UCBH shall, at any time before the Effective Time:

(i) declare a dividend in UCBH Common Stock with a record date on or prior to the Closing Date;

(ii) combine the outstanding shares of UCBH Common Stock into a smaller number of shares;

(iii) resolve to effect a split or subdivide the outstanding shares of UCBH Common Stock with a record date on or prior to the Closing Date; or

(iv) reclassify UCBH Common Stock;

then, in any such event, the Stock Amount shall be adjusted so that BVI shall be entitled to receive such number of shares of UCBH Common Stock as BVI would have been entitled to receive as a result of such event if the Effective Time had occurred prior to the happening of such event.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, UCBH shall pay to BVI any dividends or other distributions of any kind that are declared payable to holders of record of UCBH Common Stock.

UCBH, Buyer or the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such cash amounts as UCBH, Buyer or the Company are required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent the amounts are so withheld by UCBH, Buyer or the Company such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to BVI.

ARTICLE III

Prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company, the Bank, BVI and Dr. Huang have delivered to UCBH, and UCBH has delivered to the Company, a schedule (in the case of the Company, the Bank, BVI and Dr. Huang, the “Company Disclosure Schedule,” and in the case of UCBH, the “UCBH Disclosure Schedule”) setting forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception to one or more of such party’s representations or warranties contained in Article IV, in the case of the Company, the Bank, BVI and Dr. Huang, or Article V, in the case of UCBH, or to one or more of such party’s covenants contained in Article VII.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY, THE BANK, BVI AND DR. HUANG

Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company, the Bank, BVI and Dr. Huang, hereby represent and warrant, jointly and severally, to UCBH, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

4.1. Corporate Organization.

(a) The Company.

(i) The Company is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.

The Company does not have a predecessor.

(ii) The Company (A) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and (B) is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

(iii) The Company does not have, and never has had, any direct or indirect Subsidiaries other than the Bank and The China Safe Deposit Company. Except as set forth in Section 4.1(b)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company does not currently own or control, directly or indirectly, any equity interest (or any debt interest convertible into an equity interest) in any other corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, limited liability company, association, or other business entity other than the Bank and The China Safe Deposit Company.

Such limited liability company records were prepared in the ordinary course of business, consistent with the limited liability company records of bank holding companies having no operations and no assets other than beneficial or record ownership of equity of a bank and, were it not for their destruction, would be consistent with the other representations and warranties contained herein regarding limited liability company records of the Company.

(b) The Bank.

(i) The Bank is a New York state-chartered bank duly organized, duly licensed, validly existing and in good standing under the corporate and banking laws of the State of New York.

(ii) The Bank (A) has all requisite corporate power and authority to engage in the business of commercial banking and to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, (B) is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so

licensed or qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect and (C) has all requisite legal authority and bank regulatory good standing to consummate a merger or consolidation with and into Buyer.

(iii) The Bank does not have any Subsidiaries other than The China Safe Deposit Company. Except as set forth in Section 4.1(b)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Bank does not currently own or control, directly or indirectly, any equity interest (or any debt interest convertible into an equity interest) in any other corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, limited liability company, association, or other business entity other than The China Safe Deposit Company. Except as set forth in Section 4.1(b)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Bank is not a participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement.

(iv) The minute books of the Bank contain true, correct, complete and accurate records of all meetings and other corporate actions held or taken since the Bank’s incorporation of its shareholder and board of directors (including committees of its board of directors).

(v) The FDIC premiums assessed to the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $130,474.

(i) The China Safe Deposit Company is a New York corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the corporate law of the State of New York. The Organization Certificate and Bylaws of The China Safe Deposit Company, copies of which have previously been made available to UCBH, are true and correct and complete copies of such documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. The China Safe Deposit Company does not have a predecessor.

(ii) The China Safe Deposit Company (A) has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on the business as it is now being conducted and to own or lease all of its properties and assets, and (B) is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) The China Safe Deposit Company does not have any Subsidiaries. The China Safe Deposit Company does not currently own or control, directly or indirectly, any equity interest (or any debt interest convertible into an equity interest) in any other corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, limited liability company, association, or other business entity. The China Safe Deposit Company is not a participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement.

(iv) The minute books of The China Safe Deposit Company contain true, correct, complete and accurate records of all meetings and other corporate actions held or taken since the incorporation of The China Safe Deposit Company of its shareholder and board of directors (including committees of its board of directors).

4.2. Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital of the Company consists of 100 Company Percentage Interests. As of the date of this Agreement, there are (i) 100 Company Percentage Interests issued and outstanding, all of which are owned by BVI and clear of any Liens, and (ii) no Company Percentage Interests authorized but unissued. No person other than BVI owns any ownership interest in the Company. All of the issued and outstanding Company Percentage Interests have been duly authorized

and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof. The Company does not have and is not bound by any outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments or agreements of any character calling for the purchase or issuance of any Company Percentage Interests or any other equity security of the Company or any securities representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive any Company Percentage Interests or any other equity security of the Company. The Company does not have a stock option plan or other equity incentive plan. The existing limited liability company records of the Company, containing a list of all current and former members of the Company and their membership interests, a copy of which limited liability company records has previously been made available to UCBH, is a true and correct and complete copy of such limited liability company records as of the date of this Agreement and accurately reflects the members of record of the Company.

(b) The authorized capital stock of the Bank consists of 209,988 shares of common stock, par value $10.00 per share (the “Bank Common Stock”). As of the date of this Agreement, there are (i) 209,988 shares of Bank Common Stock issued and outstanding, all of which are owned by the Company free and clear of any Liens, and (ii) no shares of Bank Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options or otherwise. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Bank Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable (except as otherwise provided in Section 630 of the NYBCL) and free of preemptive rights, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof (except as otherwise provided in Section 630 of the NYBCL). The Bank does not have and is not bound by any outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments or agreements of any character calling for the purchase or issuance of any shares of Bank Common Stock or any other equity security of the Bank or any securities representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive any shares of Bank Common Stock or any other equity security of the Bank. The Bank does not have a stock option plan or other equity incentive plan. The share journal and stock transfer ledger of the Bank, a copy of which has previously been made available to UCBH, is a true and correct and complete copy of such document as of the date of this Agreement and accurately reflects the shareholder of record of the Bank.

No agreement pursuant to which any loans or other assets have been or will be sold by the Company or any the Company’s Subsidiaries entitles the buyer of such loans or other assets, unless there is a material breach of a representation or covenant by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to cause the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries to repurchase such loan or other asset or to pursue any other form of recourse against the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (other than customary short term rights of recourse for fraudulent application statements in connection with the sale of conforming residential mortgage loans).

(a) The authorized capital stock of UCBH consists of 180,000,000 shares of UCBH Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of UCBH Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2006, there were (i) 94,556,354 shares of UCBH Common Stock issued and outstanding, (ii) no shares of UCBH Preferred Stock outstanding, and (iii) 14,855,766 shares of UCBH Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the option plans described in Section 5.13 of the UCBH Disclosure Schedule (“UCBH Option Plans”). All of the issued and outstanding shares of UCBH Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof. The shares of UCBH Common Stock to be issued in the Merger have been duly authorized and, if and when issued in the Merger, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free of preemptive rights, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof. The exercise price of each option issued under the UCBH Option Plans (a “UCBH Option”) has been no less than the fair market value of a share of UCBH Common Stock as determined on the date of grant of such UCBH Option. All grants of UCBH Options were validly issued and properly approved by the board of directors of UCBH (or a duly authorized committee or subcommittee thereof) in material compliance with all applicable laws and recorded on UCBH’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and no such grants involved any “back dating,” “forward dating,” or similar practices with respect to the effective date of grant. Except as disclosed in UCBH’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 on Form 10-K (including the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series A Participating Preferred Stock and the Rights Agreement dated as of January 28, 2003, both of which are listed as exhibits thereto, and exercise rights disclosed therein), UCBH does not have and is not bound by any outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments or agreements of any character calling for the purchase or issuance of any shares of UCBH Capital Stock or any other equity security of UCBH or any securities representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive any shares of UCBH Capital Stock or any other equity security of UCBH.

(b) The authorized capital stock of UCB consists of 150,000 shares of common stock, of which all such shares are outstanding on the date hereof. All of the issued and outstanding shares of UCB are owned by UCBH. All of the issued and outstanding shares of UCB have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. UCB does not have and is not bound by any outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments or agreements of any character calling for the purchase or issuance of any shares of capital stock of UCB or any other equity security of UCB or any securities representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive any shares of capital stock of UCB or any other equity security of UCB.

(c) UCBH holds 100% of the membership interests of Buyer. Buyer does not have and is not bound by any outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments or agreements of any character calling for the purchase or issuance of any ownership interest of Buyer or any securities representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive any ownership interest of Buyer. Buyer is now and has at all times been classified as a “disregarded entity” for federal income tax purposes.

5.14. Financial Statements. UCBH has previously made available to the Company (i) copies of the consolidated balance sheets of UCBH as of December 31 for the fiscal years 2002 through 2005, inclusive, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for the fiscal years 2002 through 2005, inclusive, as reported in UCBH’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act, in each case accompanied by the audit report of UCBH’s independent registered public accountants, (ii) unaudited consolidated balance sheets of UCBH as of March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows for the first three fiscal quarters of 2006, and (iii) restated consolidated statements of cash flows as described in Section 5.14 of the UCBH Disclosure Schedule. The December 31, 2005 balance sheet of UCBH (including the related notes, where applicable) fairly presents the financial position of UCBH as of the date thereof, the other previously delivered financial statements referred to in this Section 5.14 (including the related notes, where applicable) fairly present the financial positions of UCBH as of the dates thereof (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to audit adjustments normal in nature and amount; and subject, in the case of the consolidated statements of cash flows, to the restatements referred to in item (iii) of this Section 5.14), and the financial statements to be filed by UCBH with the SEC after the date of this Agreement will fairly present (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to audit adjustments normal in nature and amount), the results of the operations and financial conditions of UCBH for the respective fiscal periods or as of the respective dates therein set forth, other than as may be affected by such relevant items as have been disclosed in any SEC Documents. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, the consolidated financial statements of UCBH for the fiscal years 2002 through 2005 complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.

5.15. Absence of Certain Changes or Events.

(a) Except as disclosed in any SEC Documents filed prior to the date of this Agreement, since December 31, 2005, there has been no change or development or combination of changes or developments which, individually or in the aggregate, has had a Material Adverse Effect on UCBH or UCB.

(b) Except as disclosed in any SEC Documents, since December 31, 2005, each of UCBH and UCB has carried on its business only in the ordinary and usual course consistent with its past practice.

UCBH and UCB have devised and maintained systems of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

5.17. Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. To the knowledge of UCBH, and except for items for which reserves have been established in UCBH’s and UCB’s most recent audited balance sheets and interim unaudited balance sheets, which have been delivered to the Company and which do not reflect any overstated assets, neither UCBH nor UCB has incurred or discharged, or is legally obligated with respect to, any material indebtedness, liability (including, without limitation, a liability arising out of an indemnification, guarantee, hold harmless or similar arrangement) or obligation (accrued or contingent, whether due or to become due, and whether or not subordinated to the claims of its general creditors), other than as a result of operations in the ordinary course of business after such date. Neither UCBH nor UCB has knowingly made nor shall make any representation or covenant in any agreement pursuant to which any loans or other assets have been or will be sold by UCBH or UCB that contained or shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or shall omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which such representations and/or covenants were made or shall be made, not misleading. Other than any regular quarterly dividend by UCBH, no cash, stock or other dividend or any other distribution with respect to UCBH Capital Stock has been declared, set aside or paid, nor has any of the UCBH Capital Stock been repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired, directly or indirectly, by UCBH since March 31, 2005.

5.18. Qualification as Reorganization. Neither UCBH nor any of UCBH’s Subsidiaries has taken or agreed to take any action or failed to take any action that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(b) by either UCBH or the Company upon written notice to the other party (i) thirty (30) days after the date on which any request or application for a Requisite Regulatory Approval shall have been denied, approved based on conditions reasonably unsatisfactory to UCBH or withdrawn at the request or recommendation of the Governmental Entity that must grant such Requisite Regulatory Approval, unless within the thirty (30)-day period following such denial, approval with reasonably unsatisfactory conditions to UCBH or withdrawal a petition for rehearing or an amended application has been filed with the applicable Governmental Entity, or (ii) any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final nonappealable order enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger; provided, however, that no party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(b) if such denial, approval with conditions reasonably unsatisfactory to UCBH, request, recommendation for withdrawal, order, injunction or prohibition shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein.

(c) by either UCBH or the Company if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before July 31, 2007 (the “Final Date”); provided, however, that the Final Date shall be automatically extended for up to an additional ninety (90) days if on July 31, 2007 any of the consents of Governmental Entities described in Section 4.4 have not been obtained or waived and are being pursued diligently and in good faith and all other conditions to the Merger have been satisfied; and provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(c) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Merger to occur on or prior to such date;

(d) by either UCBH or the Company (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a material breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement by the other party, which breach is not cured within thirty days following written notice to the party committing such breach, or which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Closing; provided, however, that neither UCBH nor the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) unless the breach of representation or warranty, together with all other such breaches, would entitle the party receiving such representation not to consummate the transactions

contemplated hereby under Section 9.2(a) (in the case of a breach of a representation or warranty by the Company) or Section 9.3(a) (in the case of a breach of a representation or warranty by UCBH);

(e) by either UCBH or the Company (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a material breach of any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement on the part of the non-terminating party, which breach shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days following receipt by the breaching party of written notice of such breach from the other party hereto, or which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Closing;

(f) by the Company at its election if the Average Closing Price is less than eighty percent (80%) of the Agreement Price and UCBH does not agree to adjust the Stock Amount in accordance with this Section 10.1(f).

(i) If the conditions described in Section 10.1(f) above are satisfied, then the Company may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing a written termination notice (a “Section 10.1(f) Termination Notice”) to UCBH at any time during the five (5) business days following the Determination Date (the “Section 10.1(f) Termination Period”), subject to UCBH’s right to avoid such termination of this Agreement by electing to adjust the Stock Amount as described below.

(ii) Upon receipt from the Company of a Section 10.1(f) Termination Notice, UCBH may elect to adjust the Stock Amount, provided that such adjustment does not negate or adversely impact the conclusions reflected in the tax opinions to be delivered pursuant to Sections 9.2(i) and 9.3(d) hereof (a “Section 10.1(f) Adjustment Election”). To make a Section 10.1(f) Adjustment Election, UCBH shall provide to the Company written notice of the same (a “Section 10.1(f) Adjustment Notice”) at any time during the five (5) business days following the date of receipt of a Section 10.1(f) Termination Notice. Upon a Section 10.1(f) Adjustment Election, (i) the Stock Amount shall be automatically adjusted and amended for all purposes under this Agreement by multiplying the pre-Section 10.1(f) Adjustment Election Stock Amount by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the product of the Agreement Price multiplied by 0.80 and the denominator of which shall be the Average Closing Price; and (ii) the Section 10.1(f) Termination Notice shall be void, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with the Stock Amount adjusted as provided herein.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, if the Average Closing Price is less than eighty percent (80%) of the Agreement Price, UCBH shall have no obligation to consummate the Merger until the earliest to occur of (i) a lapse of the Section 10.1(f) Termination Period without the Company providing a Section 10.1(f) Termination Notice, (ii) delivery to UCBH of the Company’s written waiver of its right to elect termination of this Agreement under this Section 10.1(f), or (iii) the Company’s timely delivery to UCBH of a Section 10.1(f) Termination Notice after which UCBH has timely delivered to the Company a Section 10.1(f) Adjustment Notice.

(iv) The Company, the Bank, BVI and Dr. Huang shall not, and the Company, the Bank and BVI shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that their respective executive officers, directors, and stockholders who may be deemed an “affiliate” (as defined in SEC Rules 145 and 405) of the Company do not, purchase or sell, or submit a bid to purchase or an offer to sell, directly or indirectly, any shares of UCBH Common Stock or any options, rights or other securities convertible into shares of UCBH Common Stock during the determination period for the Average Closing Price; and

(g) by UCBH at its election if the Average Closing Price is more than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Agreement Price and the Company does not agree to adjust the Stock Amount in accordance with this Section 10.1(g).

(i) If the conditions described in Section 10.1(g) above are satisfied, then UCBH may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing a written termination notice (a “Section 10.1(g) Termination Notice”) to the Company at any time during the five (5) business days following the Determination Date (the “Section 10.1(g) Termination Period”), subject to the Company’s right to avoid such termination of this Agreement by electing to adjust the Stock Amount as described below.

(ii) Upon receipt from UCBH of a Section 10.1(g) Termination Notice, the Company may elect to adjust the Stock Amount, provided that such adjustment does not negate or adversely impact the conclusions reflected in the tax opinions to be delivered pursuant to Sections 9.2(i) and 9.3(d) hereof (a “Section 10.1(g) Adjustment Election”). To make a Section 10.1(g) Adjustment Election, the Company shall provide to UCBH written notice of the same (a “Section 10.1(g) Adjustment Notice”) at any time during the five (5) business days following the date of receipt of a Section 10.1(g) Termination Notice. Upon a Section 10.1(g) Adjustment Election, (i) the Stock Amount shall be automatically adjusted and amended for all purposes under this Agreement by multiplying the pre-Section 10.1(g) Adjustment Election Stock Amount by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the product of the Agreement Price multiplied by 1.20 and the denominator of which shall be the Average Closing Price; and (ii) the Section 10.1(g) Termination Notice shall be void, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with the Stock Amount adjusted as provided herein.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, if the Average Closing Price is more than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Agreement Price, the Company shall have no obligation to consummate the Merger until the earliest to occur of (i) a lapse of the Section 10.1(g) Termination Period without UCBH providing a Section 10.1(g) Termination Notice, (ii) delivery to the Company of UCBH’s written waiver of its right to elect termination of this Agreement under this Section 10.1(g), or (iii) UCBH’s timely delivery to the Company of a Section 10.1(g) Termination Notice after which the Company has timely delivered to UCBH a Section 10.1(g) Adjustment Notice.

(iv) UCBH and Buyer shall not, and UCBH and Buyer shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that their respective executive officers, directors, and stockholders who may be deemed an “affiliate” (as defined in SEC Rules 145 and 405) of UCBH do not, purchase or sell, or submit a bid to purchase or an offer to sell, directly or indirectly, any shares of UCBH Common Stock or any options, rights or other securities convertible into shares of UCBH Common Stock during the determination period for the Average Closing Price.

10.2. Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by any party as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect except that Sections 8.4, 10.2 and 11.2 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if termination of this Agreement requires payment of a “termination fee” pursuant to the following two subsections, such termination shall become effective only upon receipt of the applicable termination fee by the party entitled to such payment:

(i) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company or UCBH under Section 10.1(d) or 10.1(e) hereof for a willful material breach of this Agreement by the other, and the terminating party is not itself in material breach of this Agreement, the breaching party shall pay the terminating party a termination fee of $6,500,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the date of termination. The Company and UCBH agree that the agreement contained in this Section 10.2(b)(i) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty.

(ii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company or UCBH under Section 10.1(d) or 10.1(e) hereof for a material breach of this Agreement by the other that was not willful, and the terminating party is not itself in material breach of this Agreement, the breaching party shall pay the terminating party a termination fee of $500,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the date of termination. The Company and UCBH agree that the agreement contained in this Section 10.2(b)(ii) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, UCBH and the Company, by action taken or authorized by its board of directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party or the other party’s affiliates hereunder, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party or the other party’s affiliates contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance by the other party or the other party’s affiliates with any of its agreements contained herein, or waive compliance with any of the conditions to its obligations hereunder. Any agreement on the part of UCBH or the Company to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed by duly authorized representatives on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural and vice versa. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

11.5. Counterparts.

If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
