THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) effective July 1, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), is by and among MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (“MUAH”), a Delaware corporation, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (“BTMU”), a Japanese corporation, and MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (“MUB”), a national banking association.
A. | MUAH is a financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 as amended (“BHCA”), and the sole stockholder of MUB. MUAH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BTMU. |
B. | BTMU operates licensed branch offices in California, Illinois, and New York (collectively, the “US Branches”), as well as agency and representative offices in the US. |
C. | The US Branches hold the following assets that are the components of the noncash contributions contemplated by this Agreement: (i) exclusive ownership rights to BTMU’s US corporate customer list as identified on Exhibit B (“US Corporate Customer List”); (ii) BTMU’s US workforce-in-place as identified on Exhibit C (“BTMU US Employees”); (iii) any US intangible property related to either the US Corporate Customer List and/or the BTMU US Employees; and (iv) a certain amount of US Treasury securities (collectively, the “US Branch Assets,” as identified in Exhibit A, the “US Branch Assets and Liabilities”). |
D. | The US Branch Assets have certain liabilities associated with them, including without limitation, employee-related liabilities such as bonuses, vacation pay, and deferred compensation (collectively, the “US Branch Liabilities,” as identified more specifically in Exhibit A, the “US Branch Assets and Liabilities”). |
E. | BTMU and MUAH wish to provide for the terms and conditions of a transaction in which the US Branch Assets will be contributed by BTMU to MUAH in exchange for the issuance of one (1) share of common stock of MUAH (the “First Contribution”). Immediately thereafter, MUAH will contribute the US Branch Assets to MUB in exchange for the issuance of one (1) share of common stock of MUB (the “Second Contribution”). The First Contribution and Second Contribution will be collectively referred to herein as the “Contributions.” |
F. | In addition to the Contributions, this Agreement addresses the understandings among the parties with respect to the assumption by MUAH and MUB of certain portions of the US Branch Liabilities defined as “Assumed Liabilities” herein (which do not include any of the “Excluded Liabilities” as defined herein). The parties intend that contemplated transactions will be in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The parties acknowledge that some or all of the Assumed Liabilities may result in MUB treating their contribution as a “covered transaction” for purposes of Regulation W of the Federal Reserve Board, 12 C.F.R. Part 223. |
G. | The parties intend that each of the First Contribution and Second Contribution include a contribution of US government securities with a fair market and book value on the Closing Date equal to or greater than the amount of total liabilities assumed by MUAH and MUB concurrently with the transfer of the Contributions. |
H. | The parties and their affiliates intend that the First Contribution and the Second Contribution will each be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and as contributions-in-kind under Japanese tax law. The parties and their affiliates shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the treatment of the First Contribution and the Second Contribution as exchanges described in Section 351(a) of the Code, and as contributions-in-kind under Japanese tax law, and shall not take any tax |

position that is inconsistent with such treatment unless required to do so under applicable law pursuant to a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.
I. | All corporate approvals required from BTMU, MUAH and MUB have been granted for approval of the execution of this Agreement. |
Accordingly, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and conditions herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, MUAH’s liabilities shall be limited to the Assumed Liabilities identified in this Agreement and specifically referenced on Exhibit A. MUAH shall not, pursuant to or as a result of this Agreement, other than as a result of the “Master Service Agreements” defined further herein, be bound by any other duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities, of any kind or nature, known, unknown, contingent or otherwise, of BTMU, including but not limited to the following liabilities (collectively, the "Excluded Liabilities"):

1.2 Second Contribution. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof, effective immediately following the First Closing Effective Time (the “Second Closing Effective Time”) MUAH agrees to assign and transfer to MUB, as a capital contribution, all of MUAH’s right, title and interest in and to the US Branch Assets, and MUB agrees to assume, pay, perform and discharge as and when required as of or after the Second Closing Effective Time, all duties, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities of MUAH (of any kind, whether accrued, contingent or otherwise), to be discharged, performed, satisfied or paid with respect to the period on or after the Second Closing Effective Time relating to the US Branch Assets and the Assumed Liabilities.

1.3 Setting of Closing Date, First Closing Effective Time and Second Closing Effective Time. As soon as practicable after each of the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof have been satisfied or waived, BTMU, MUAH and MUB will agree on the Closing Date; the parties acknowledge that they currently intend July 1, 2014 to be the Closing Date; BTMU and MUAH agree that the First Closing Effective Time shall be 12:01 am EST on the Closing Date and the Second Closing Effective Time shall be 12:02 am EST on the Closing Date.
1.4 Closing of First Contribution and Second Contribution. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the consummation of the First Contribution (the “First Closing”) shall be held at the First Closing Effective Time and be held by telephone or in person among the parties by legal counsel. The First Closing shall be effective upon the release by all parties of signatures (whether original, facsimile or electronically transmitted) of the other parties to all documents required to be delivered at the First Closing. Subject to the consummation of the First Closing, the consummation of the Second Contribution (the “Second Closing”) shall be held at the Second Closing Effective Time and be held by telephone or in person among the parties by legal counsel. The Second Closing shall be effective upon the release by all parties of signatures (whether original, facsimile or electronically transmitted) of the other parties to all documents required to be delivered at the Second Closing. On the Closing Date, BTMU shall deliver or make available to MUAH and MUB: (i) all books and records related to the US Branch Assets, and (ii) such other documents as are reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, the parties shall mutually agree to a Closing checklist of information and other materials that must be exchanged and actions that must occur as of the Closing Date.
1.5 Employee Matters.
(a) Migrating Employees. The BTMU US Employees who are migrating to MUB shall consist of the employees of BTMU’s branches, agency and representative offices in the U.S. as of the Closing Date who are listed by name in Exhibit C. In addition to the identification of BTMU US Employees who shall become MUB employees as of the Closing Date, set forth on Exhibit C to this Agreement, BTMU shall provide to MUB by secure transmission specific information as reasonably requested by MUB regarding each BTMU US Employee, including, but not limited to each BTMU US Employee’s functional title, salary, date of hire, office location, and leave status. Any BTMU US Employee identified on Exhibit C who is on a leave of absence as of the Closing Date because of short-term disability, family medical leave, military leave, workers’ compensation, or any other leave approved by BTMU (“Leave of Absence”) shall become an employee of MUB as of the Closing Date. BTMU shall identify each BTMU US Employee on a Leave of Absence on the BTMU Disclosure Schedule. If any BTMU US Employee who is or becomes eligible to receive long-term disability benefits under BTMU’s long-term disability program before the Closing Date is terminated by BTMU before the Closing Date, then such individual will not become an employee of MUB as of the Closing Date. However, if any BTMU U.S. Employee described in the foregoing sentence returns to employment, such employee will become a MUB employee on the date that he or she returns to employment. Certain of the BTMU Employees listed on Exhibit C are subject to special employment arrangements as “Ex Xxx Employees,” because while the employees’ base salaries are paid in the U.S. and subject to U.S. tax withholding, they remain covered by BTMU global performance compensation and benefits plans in expectation of their eventual reassignment to other BTMU positions as part of BTMU’s global officer rotation development program. Copies of all employment records of the BTMU US Employees relating to their employment with BTMU will be delivered by BTMU to MUB to the full extent permitted by law at the Closing. MUB agrees to provide BTMU with reasonable access to such records after the Closing.
(b) BTMU Authority. Without the prior written consent of MUAH, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, BTMU will not, on or after the date of this Agreement, increase the compensation or benefits payable to BTMU US Employees, other than increases in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, or enter into any employment, severance or consulting contracts with respect to the BTMU US Employees other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.
(c) Assumed Liabilities. On the Closing Date, MUB shall assume the employment of BTMU US Employees and all employer obligations arising from service performed on and after that date. Except for items listed in Exhibit A as Assumed Liabilities, MUB shall not assume any obligations of BTMU to such BTMU US Employees attributable to service performed by those employees before the Closing Date. In addition, MUB shall

CONFIDENTIAL
not assume any obligations of BTMU to any other person who is not a BTMU US Employee, such as employees of any U.S. subsidiary of BTMU who are not BTMU US Employees. The parties acknowledge that MUB’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities listed in Exhibit A may be treated, in whole or in part, by MUB as “covered transactions” under Regulation W.
(d) MUB Employment. Subject to such background screening process and acceptable results as may be required by MUB, BTMU US Employees shall commence employment by MUB on the Closing Date (i) with responsibilities and duties comparable to the responsibilities and duties of the BTMU US Employee’s employment with BTMU, and (ii) at base pay no less than the BTMU US Employee’s base pay with BTMU on the day before the Closing Date.
(e) BTMU Employee Plans. Exhibit D lists the material BTMU-sponsored employee benefit plans provided to BTMU US Employees as of the Effective Date. Exhibit D classifies each of these BTMU plans into one of the following five categories reflected below. MUB will participate in these BTMU plans as follows:
(1) | Compensation Plans. Effective on the Closing Date, MUB will become a participating employer in each of the Compensation Plans. Accordingly, for any outstanding awards under these plans on the Closing Date, BTMU US Employees will receive vesting credit (if applicable) for MUB service in accordance with the plan’s terms. |
(2) | Retirement Plans. Effective on the Closing Date, MUB will become a participating employer in each of the Retirement Plans. From the Closing Date through December 31, 2014, BTMU US Employees will continue to participate in and accrue benefits (for MUB service) under the Retirement Plans in accordance with each plan’s terms. In addition, on and after January 1, 2015, BTMU US Employees will continue to earn eligibility for benefits from BTMU under the Retiree Medical plan (but not under any other Retirement Plan) in accordance with that plan’s terms. |
(3) | Health and Welfare Plans. Effective on the Closing Date, MUB will become a participating employer in each of the Health and Welfare Plans. From the Closing Date through December 31, 2014, BTMU US Employees will continue to participate in the Health and Welfare Plans in accordance with each plan’s terms. |
(4) | Severance Plans. Effective on the Closing Date, MUB will become a participating employer in each of the Severance Plans. Any BTMU US Employee who receives a notice of termination from the Closing Date through December 31, 2014 and has a termination date before April 1, 2015 will remain covered by (and if applicable, receive credit for MUB service under) the Severance Plans in accordance with each plan’s terms. |
(5) | Disability Plans. Effective on the Closing Date, MUB will become a participating employer in any of the Disability Plans that BTMU US Employees will continue to participate in from the Closing Date through December 31, 2014. |
(f) MUB Employee Plans. From the Closing Date through December 31, 2014, BTMU US Employees will not be eligible to participate in any of MUB’s employee benefit plans that provide benefits substantially similar to those provided under any of the BTMU-sponsored plans described in Exhibit D. On and after January 1, 2015, MUB will provide BTMU US Employees with the opportunity to participate in MUB-sponsored employee benefit plans on the same terms as those provided to other similarly situated employees, subject to the following:
(1) | MUB shall give each BTMU US Employee credit for pre-2015 service as an employee of BTMU or MUB for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual), except as may be specifically provided for under the MUB Retirement Plan for BTMU employees hired from December 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, under MUB’s ERISA Plans to which |
Page 4

CONFIDENTIAL
such BTMU US Employee may be eligible to participate. “ERISA” means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. “ERISA Plan” means any “plan” as defined in ERISA Section 3(3).
(2) | MUB shall take all reasonable efforts to obtain waivers, with respect to BTMU US Employees, of any pre-existing condition exclusion for participation in MUB’s ERISA Plans that are health and welfare plans, including medical, dental, vision, employee term life and disability insurance, to which such BTMU US Employees may be eligible to participate, except to the extent that a BTMU U.S. Employee is already subject to a pre-existing condition exclusion for participation in a BTMU-sponsored employee benefit plan. |
(3) | With regard to each BTMU US Employee who, as of January 1, 2015, is entitled to participate in MUB’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Policy Making Officers (“PMO SERP”), the employee’s PMO SERP account will be credited with an amount equal to the amount that would have been credited to that account had the employee participated in the PMO SERP as an MUB employee commencing July 15, 2013, computed using SERP-recognized compensation that he or she received for BTMU and MUB service from that date through December 31, 2014. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no BTMU US Employee will become a participant in the PMO SERP before January 1, 2015. |
(g) MUB Payroll and Bonus Programs. MUB will provide BTMU US Employees with the opportunity to participate in MUB’s vacation program on and after the Closing Date, and in MUB’s bonus programs on and after July 1, 2014, on the same terms as those provided to other similarly situated employees. For purposes of determining the BTMU US Employees’ accrual rate under MUB’s vacation program, MUB shall treat service with BTMU before the Closing Date as service with MUB.
(h) BTMU Liabilities. BTMU will be solely responsible for all liabilities associated with the following:
(1) | Excluded Liabilities under Exhibit A. |
(2) | For the plans listed in Exhibit D, all benefits attributable to BTMU US Employees’ service before the Closing Date, including but not limited to any employer contributions to BTMU’s Retirement Plans attributable to that service, other than the Assumed Liabilities. |
i. | If benefits attributable to BTMU US Employees’ service before the Closing Date are provided under an MUB employee benefit plan, then the provision of benefits under the MUB plan will be on behalf of BTMU and such benefits will remain an Excluded Liability for which BTMU will be solely liable. MUB will be liable only for benefits attributable to BTMU US Employees’ service on and after the Closing Date. |
ii. | If MUB becomes a participating employer in any of the BTMU plans listed in Exhibit D, then MUB’s liability as a participating employer will be limited to benefits attributable to BTMU US Employees’ service on and after the Closing Date. |
(3) | For the MUB employee benefit plans, any benefits attributable to BTMU US Employees’ service before the Closing Date. |
(4) | For all BTMU US Employees who are PMOs, any credits to the employee’s MUB PMO SERP account attributable to service from July 15, 2013 through the day before the Closing Date. |
Page 5
EXECUTION COPY
CONFIDENTIAL
(5) | Providing COBRA coverage and otherwise complying with the continuation coverage requirements under COBRA with respect to qualifying events (as defined by COBRA) for BTMU US Employees terminated prior to the Closing Date. “COBRA” means the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended from time to time. |
(6) | Any severance payments owed to BTMU US Employees that are attributable to service before the Closing Date. |
(7) | For any BTMU US Employee who is on short-term disability leave as of the Closing Date, the cost of all benefits and compensation provided to that employee on and after the Closing Date until he or she returns to MUB employment. |
BTMU and MUB will develop a method for reasonably calculating BTMU’s liabilities under this subsection (h) and in accordance with the requirements of Regulation W. The calculation of BTMU liabilities attributable to the Retirement Plans will be based on GAAP accounting rules for retirement benefits and post-retirement medical benefits, as applicable.
(i) MUB Liabilities. MUB will be solely responsible for Assumed Liabilities under Exhibit A. The Assumed Liabilities include the annual discretionary cash performance bonus (“Annual Bonus”) which is referenced on Exhibit A, that covers the performance period from April 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014 while BTMU US Employees were still employed by BTMU and which shall be equal to one quarter of the cash performance bonus amount for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2015 to be paid to BTMU US Employees in or around late May or early June 2015, and which such amount will not be known until that time. MUB shall also be responsible for all liabilities associated with compensation and benefits provided to BTMU US Employees for service with MUB on and after the Closing Date, including liabilities attributable to benefits accrued on and after the Closing Date by those Employees under BTMU’s Cash Balance Pension Plan, Retiree Medical plan, and 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan, other than Excluded Liabilities. Otherwise, BTMU plan liabilities and benefits payments will remain with BTMU. However, BTMU and MUB will develop a method based on GAAP accounting rules for retirement benefits and post-retirement medical benefits, as applicable, for reasonably calculating MUB’s reimbursement obligations under the BTMU Cash Balance Pension Plan, Retiree Medical plan, and 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan. The parties intend that: (i) MUB shall reimburse BTMU for the service cost for the BTMU Cash Balance Pension Plan from July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014; and (ii) MUB shall reimburse BTMU for the service cost for the Retiree Medical Plan during the period from July 1, 2014 through the date that the employee satisfies the age and service conditions for benefits under the Retiree Medical Plan. With respect to the 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan, BTMU shall make the payment into the 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan for all employee and employer contributions due with respect to services performed by MUB employees on or after July 1, 2014 and MUB will reimburse BTMU for such contributions.
(j) Master Service Agreements. The parties intend to execute certain service agreements (“Master Services Agreements”) for MUB and MUAH to respectively perform a wide range of business and support services to BTMU, as detailed in the Service Schedules incorporated into the applicable Master Services Agreement on and after the Closing Date, as well as a Master Service Agreement for MUB to perform certain services to MUAH on and after the Closing Date. Among the various services which MUB shall perform to BTMU, MUB will perform certain pension and other employee benefit administration services for BTMU with respect to the BTMU US Employees as further specified in the applicable Master Service Agreement, in addition to acting as payor agent for BTMU with respect to any payments made by MUB, on BTMU’s behalf, for any Excluded Liabilities. In addition, MUB and BTMU shall agree to certain arrangements documented in the applicable Master Service Agreement to provide administrative services in connection with the BTMU plans listed in Exhibit D as required by this Agreement.
(k) No Right of Employment; No Third Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary nor confer upon any employee of BTMU, or any representative of any such employee (excluding BTMU), any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period or terms of employment, for any nature whatsoever, or with respect to the compensation, benefits, or other terms and conditions of employment. MUB shall not be prevented or restricted, on and after the Closing Date,
Page 6

CONFIDENTIAL
from modifying or terminating the employment or terms of employment of any BTMU US Employee, including amending or terminating of any MUB employee benefit or compensation plan, program or arrangement, or on and after January 1, 2015, its participation in any of the BTMU-sponsored employee benefit plans listed in Exhibit D.
(l) Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, BTMU shall be liable for and shall indemnify and hold MUAH and MUB, their respective officers, directors, employees, advisers, agents and representatives harmless from any and all Losses associated with: (1) the employment, terms and conditions of employment, or termination of the employment of a BTMU US Employee in respect of any period up to and including the Closing Date, including any claim by, or on behalf of, a BTMU US Employee which arises under federal, state or local statute, regulation or ordinance (including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Family and Medical Leave Act, Section 1981, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1990, the Equal Pay Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, ERISA and all other statutes regulating the terms and conditions of employment), under the common law or in equity (including any claims for wrongful discharge or otherwise), or under any benefit plans or under any policy, agreement, understanding or promise, written, oral or implied, formal or informal, between BTMU and such employee; and (2) the engagement or termination of engagement of any independent contractor or consultant by BTMU, or any terms of any such contract in respect of any period up to and including the Closing Date, in respect, including any claim by, or on behalf of, an independent contractor or consultant for breach of contract, or purporting to arise under federal, state or local statute, regulation or ordinance (including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Family and Medical Leave Act, Section 1981, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1990, the Equal Pay Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, ERISA and all other statutes regulating the terms and conditions of employment), under the common law or in equity (including any claims for wrongful discharge or otherwise), or under any benefit plans or under any policy, agreement, understanding or promise, written, oral or implied, formal or informal, between BTMU and such independent contractor or consultant.
(m) No Liability for Non-Migrating Employees. In the event that any BTMU US Employee decides not to be migrated to MUB as of the Closing Date, MUAH and MUB shall assume no liability for any separation benefits, change in control or similar payments that they may be entitled to.
(n) No Assignment. As of the Closing Date, no contractual obligations for non-employees, including temporary and contract labor employees, shall be assigned to or assumed by MUAH or MUB; after the Closing Date, MUAH and/or MUB, in their sole discretion, may enter into new direct contracts as necessary with such non-employees, or assume existing BTMU contracts with existing non-employees.
1.6 Reservation of Right to Revise Transaction. After consultation between BTMU, MUAH and MUB, the parties may change the method of effecting the First Contribution and Second Contribution (including without limitation the provisions of this Article I), to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent they mutually determine such change to be desirable.
1.7 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Closing Date, MUAH or MUB shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, assignments or assurances or any other acts are necessary or desirable to (a) vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in MUAH or MUB its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of BTMU, or (b) otherwise effect the First Contribution and Second Contribution, BTMU shall cooperate and provide all reasonable assistance.

MUAH is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the assets or properties owned or leased by it or the nature of the business transacted by it requires that it be so qualified, except for any failure to so qualify that would not be material to either the business of MUAH or its ability to enter this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

2.2 Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly approved and authorized by appropriate corporate action of MUAH and MUB.
