Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd., a Japanese corporation ("BTM"),
proposes to sell to the several Underwriters (as defined below) 22,000,000
shares (the "FIRM SHARES") of the Common Stock, of UnionBanCal Corporation, a
California corporation ("UNBC").
It is understood that, subject to the conditions hereinafter stated,
17,600,000 Firm Shares (the "U.S. FIRM SHARES") will be sold to the several
U.S. Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the "U.S. UNDERWRITERS") in
connection with the offering and sale of such U.S. Firm Shares in the United
States and Canada to United States and Canadian Persons (as such terms are
defined in the Agreement Between U.S. and International Underwriters of even
date herewith), and 4,400,000 Firm Shares (the "INTERNATIONAL SHARES") will
be sold to the several International Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto
(the "INTERNATIONAL UNDERWRITERS") in connection with the offering and sale
of such International Shares outside the United States and Canada to persons
other than United States and Canadian Persons. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.
Incorporated,
Xxxxxx Brothers Inc., X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Barney
Inc. shall act as representatives (the "U.S. REPRESENTATIVES") of the several
U.S. Underwriters, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. International Limited, Xxxxxx
Brothers International (Europe), X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Ltd., Salomon
Brothers International Limited and Tokyo-Mitsubishi International plc. shall
act as representatives (the "INTERNATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES") of the several
International Underwriters. The U.S. Underwriters and the International
Underwriters are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "UNDERWRITERS".
BTM also proposes to sell to the several U.S. Underwriters not more than
an additional 3,300,000 shares (the "ADDITIONAL SHARES") of the Common Stock
of UNBC if and to the extent that the U.S. Representatives shall have
determined to exercise, on behalf of the U.S. Underwriters, the right to
purchase such shares of common stock granted to the U.S. Underwriters in
Section 3 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "SHARES". The shares of Common Stock of UNBC
are hereinafter referred to as the "COMMON STOCK".
UNBC has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"COMMISSION") a registration statement relating to the Shares. The
registration statement contains two prospectuses to be used in connection
with the offering and sale of the Shares: the U.S. prospectus, to be used in
connection with the offering and sale of Shares in the United States and
Canada to United States and Canadian Persons, and the international
prospectus, to be used in connection with the offering and sale of Shares
outside the United States and Canada to persons other than United States and
Canadian Persons. The international prospectus is identical to the U.S.
prospectus except that the international prospectus will contain a different
front cover page. The registration statement as amended at the time it
becomes effective, including the information (if any) deemed to be part of
the registration statement at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), is
hereinafter referred to as the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT"; the U.S. prospectus
and the international prospectus in the respective forms first used to
confirm sales of Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"PROSPECTUS". If UNBC has filed an abbreviated registration statement to
register additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the
Securities Act (the "RULE 462 REGISTRATION STATEMENT"), then any reference
herein to the term "Registration Statement" shall be deemed to include such
Rule 462 Registration Statement. Any reference herein to the term
"Registration Statement" and "Prospectus" shall be deemed to include
documents incorporated therein by reference.

On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this

U.S. Underwriters the Additional Shares, and the U.S. Underwriters shall have
a one-time right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to 3,300,000

the Underwriters herein contained, UNBC covenants with each Underwriter as
follows:
(a) To furnish to you, without charge, ten conformed copies
of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto and, upon
request, documents incorporated therein by reference) and for
delivery to each other Underwriter a conformed copy of the
Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto but, upon request,
including documents incorporated therein by reference) and to
furnish to you in New York City, without charge, prior to 10:00
a.m. New York City time on the second business day next succeeding
the date of this Agreement and during the period mentioned in
Section 7(c) hereof, as many copies of the Prospectus, and any
supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration Statement
as you may reasonably request. The terms "SUPPLEMENT" and
"AMENDMENT" and "AMEND" as used in this Agreement shall include all
documents subsequently filed by UNBC with the Commission pursuant
to the Exchange Act that are deemed to be incorporated by reference
in the Prospectus.
(b) Before amending or supplementing the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, to furnish to you a copy of each such
proposed amendment or supplement and not to file any such proposed
amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object promptly
after reasonable notice thereof, and to file with the Commission
within the applicable period specified in Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act any prospectus required to be filed pursuant to such
Rule.
15
(c) If, during such period after the first date of the public
offering of the Shares as in the opinion of counsel for the
Underwriters (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to UNBC;
PROVIDED that Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx shall be acceptable to UNBC),
the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection
with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or
condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or
supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered
to a purchaser, not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend or
supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith
to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own
expense, to the Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and
addresses you will furnish to UNBC) to which Shares may have been
sold by you on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealers
upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so
that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented
will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is
delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus,
as amended or supplemented, will comply with law.
(d) To endeavor to qualify the Shares for offer and sale
under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions in the
United States as you shall reasonably request; PROVIDED that in
connection therewith, UNBC shall not be required to qualify as a
foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of
process in any jurisdiction.
(e) To make generally available to UNBC's security holders
and to you as soon as practicable an earning statement covering the
twelve-month period ending March 31, 2000 that satisfies the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder.
(f) Not to waive its rights under any "lock-up" or similar
agreement between UNBC and any shareholder of UNBC without the
prior written consent of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated on
behalf of the Underwriters.
8. EXPENSES. Whether or not the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, each of UNBC and BTM,
jointly and severally, agree to pay or cause to be paid all expenses incident to
the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including: (i) the
fees, disbursements and expenses of UNBC's counsel, UNBC's accountants and
counsel for BTM in connection with the registration and delivery of the Shares
under the Securities Act and all other fees or expenses in connection with the
16
preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, any preliminary
prospectus, the Prospectus and amendments and supplements to any of the
foregoing, including all printing costs associated therewith, and the mailing
and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the
quantities hereinabove specified, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the
transfer and delivery of the Shares to the Underwriters, including any transfer
or other taxes payable thereon, (iii) the cost of printing or producing any Blue
Sky or Legal Investment memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the
Shares under state securities laws and all expenses in connection with the
qualification of the Shares for offer and sale under state securities laws as
provided in Section 7(d) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such
qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky or Legal Investment
memorandum, (iv) all filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with the review and
qualification of the offering of the Shares by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., (v) all costs and expenses, if any, incident to
listing the Shares on the Nasdaq National Market or the New York Stock Exchange,
(vi) the cost of printing certificates representing the Shares, (vii) the costs
and charges of any transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (viii) the costs and
expenses of UNBC relating to investor presentations on any "road show"
undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Shares,
including, without limitation, expenses associated with the production of road
show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in
connection with the road show presentations with the prior approval of UNBC,
travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of UNBC and any
such consultants, and the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the
road show, and (ix) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of
the obligations of UNBC hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in
this Section 8. It is understood, however, that except as provided in this
Section 8, Section 9 hereof and the last paragraph of Section 11 hereof, the
Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and
disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of
the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they
may make.
The provisions of this Section 8 shall not supersede or otherwise affect
any agreement that UNBC and BTM may otherwise have for the allocation of such
expenses among themselves.
9. INDEMNITY AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) Each of UNBC and BTM, jointly
and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each
person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without
limitation, any
17
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus or
the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if UNBC shall have furnished any
amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement
or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information
relating to any Underwriter furnished to UNBC in writing by such Underwriter
through you expressly for use therein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing
indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure
to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Shares, or any person
controlling such Underwriter, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or
supplemented if UNBC shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto)
was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Underwriter to such person, if
required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of the Shares to such person, and if the Prospectus (as
so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such
loss, claim, damage or liability, unless such failure is the result of non-
compliance by UNBC with Section 7(a) hereof.
(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless UNBC, BTM, the directors of UNBC, the officers of
UNBC who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who
controls UNBC or BTM within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from UNBC and BTM to such Underwriter, but only with
reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to UNBC in
writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration
Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental
investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9(a) or 9(b) hereof, such person
(the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall promptly notify the person against whom such
indemnity may be sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing and the
indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related
to such proceeding. In any such proceeding,
18
any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have
mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to
any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying
party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in
connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Underwriters and all
persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (ii) the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
counsel) for UNBC, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the UNBC within the meaning
of either such Section and (iii) the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for BTM and all persons, if
any, who control BTM within the meaning of either such Section, and that all
such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case
of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons of
any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx
& Co. Incorporated. In the case of any such separate firm for UNBC, and such
directors, officers and control persons of UNBC, such firm shall be
designated in writing by UNBC. In the case of any such separate firm for BTM
and such control persons of BTM, such firm shall be designated in writing by
BTM. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested
an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and
expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this
paragraph and the indemnifying party is not disputing in good faith the
reasonableness of such fees and expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party
agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than
30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and
(ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party
in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
19
indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject
matter of such proceeding.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section
9(a) or 9(b) hereof is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein,
then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one
hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering
of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 9(d)(i) above is
not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 9(d)(i) above
but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one
hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by UNBC and BTM on the one
hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering
of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the
net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses)
received by BTM and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received
by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of
the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares.
The relative fault of UNBC and BTM on the one hand and the Underwriters on
the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by UNBC or BTM or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters' respective obligations
to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the
respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(e) UNBC, BTM and the Underwriters agree that it would not be
just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined
by PRO RATA allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity
for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(d) hereof.
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably
20
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares
underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public
exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are
not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise
be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in
this Section 9 and the representations, warranties and other statements of
UNBC contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person
controlling any Underwriter, BTM or any person controlling BTM, or UNBC, its
officers or directors or any person controlling UNBC and (iii) acceptance of
and payment for any of the Shares.
10. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by
notice given by you to UNBC and BTM, if (a) after the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall
have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any
of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Chicago Board of Options
Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii)
trading of any securities of UNBC shall have been suspended on any exchange
or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial
banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or
New York State authorities or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or
escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity
or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and (b) in the case
of any of the events specified in clauses (i) through (iv) above, such event,
singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in your judgment,
impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus.
11. EFFECTIVENESS; DEFAULTING UNDERWRITERS. This Agreement shall
become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be,
any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares
that it
21
has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate
number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but
failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate
number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters
shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm
Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I or Schedule II
bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of
all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may
specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; PROVIDED
that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed
to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section
11 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the
written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter
or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the
aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is
more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased,
and arrangements satisfactory to you, UNBC and BTM for the purchase of such
Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement
shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
Underwriter, UNBC or BTM. In any such case that does not result in
termination, either you, UNBC or BTM shall have the right to postpone the
Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the
required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus
or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on the Option
Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to
purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with
respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate
number of Additional Shares to be purchased, the non-defaulting Underwriters
shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase
Additional Shares or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional
Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to
purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this
paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in
respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of
them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of UNBC or BTM to comply
with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if
for any reason UNBC or BTM shall be unable to perform its obligations under
this Agreement, UNBC and BTM will reimburse the Underwriters or such
Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves,
severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and
disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in
connection with this Agreement or
22
the offering contemplated hereunder, but UNBC and BTM shall then be under no
further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 8 and 9
hereof.
12. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if
the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
13. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
14. HEADINGS. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have
been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a
part of this Agreement.
