Exhibit 10.5
UNION BANK OF
CALIFORNIA, N.A.
SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE
RETIREMENT PLAN FOR
POLICY MAKING OFFICERS
As Amended and Restated Effective
September 18, 2008
ESTABLISHMENT AND
PURPOSE
Effective January 1, 1999,
Union Bank of California, National Association established the
Union Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Policy Making
Officers to provide certain executives with retirement benefits in
excess of those benefits provided under the Company’s
Retirement Plan.
Using an earnings definition based
on base pay, and bonuses and incentive payments and based on
service completed on or after January 1, 1997, but excluding
other forms of compensation, the Plan supplements benefits under
the Retirement Plan to the extent such benefits are reduced due to
the limits of Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code. The Plan is
intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the
purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of
management or highly compensated employees, as described in
Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of
ERISA.
The Bank hereby amends and restates
the Plan in its entirety effective September 18,
2008.
