If you can do that for us, we'd appreciate it. A. Certainly. Q. And if also -- I don't know why I have a horrible problem with this, but if we can avoid answering with "uh-huhs" and "huh-uhs" and instead use "yes" or "no" when answering a question that would also help us out a good bit.

In your role as an employee of Union Bank of California, does the term "treasury management" have any 10:01 10:01 meaning to you? 10:02 A. I'm not familiar with the specific term. 10:02 Q. Have you ever heard the term before, treasury 10:02 management? 10:02 A. Yes, I probably have. 10:02 Q. But as you sit here today, you wouldn't know 10:02 how to define treasury management? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 28 A. That's, once again, quite -- quite broad. But treasury management and -- as a bank employee, I would still answer the same question, it's the movement of funds either for the customer -- for the company itself or for customers. Q. (BY MR. KING) Would you consider that to be a banking activity? A. It is done in banks, as well as many other companies. Q. And if it's done within a bank, would you consider that to be a banking activity? A. Certain aspects of it certainly are -- is a banking activity. Q. And what aspects of it would be a banking activity? A. Movement of funds for customers at the customer's request. Q. Would that potentially be a -- I'm just trying to get a better understanding here. Would that be -- an example of that, could it be an automatic debit from a customer's checking account? Is that an example of a movement of funds? A. It's probably more of a deposit function. Q. What type of movement of a customer's funds would fall under the treasury management?

Well, that's -- that's a pretty broad question. If you could be more specific as to some reference to that phrase somewhere. Q. Well, how do -- you've heard the term before. In what context have you heard the term "treasury management" used? A. I've heard it in many companies, just in general business, it's the movement of funds. Q. And when you say "movement of funds," what do you mean? A. Could be on the corporation's behalf or -- or on behalf of customers. Q. Would you have that same understanding as an employee of Union Bank of California? A. Same understanding as what? Q. Well, you had just said that you've heard the term "treasury management" used within many different companies -A. Right. Q. -- or multiple different companies. I don't recall what your exact terminology was. Would you have that same understanding in the context of Union Bank of California, that it relates to the movement of funds on a corporation's behalf or on behalf of customers? MR. SWEIGART: Object to the form. A. Wire transfer instructions. Q. Can you think of any other examples? A. I suppose writing and depositing, anything else that can go on in a customer's account initiated by the customer. So I suppose maybe that example of your debit to that account is a transaction. I'm not sure I'd consider it a treasury-management function. That's a customer-initiated transaction. Q. And these examples that you just gave, would you consider those to be banking activities? A. Servicing a customer's account is a banking activity. Q. In your role as an officer of UnionBanCal, does the term "real estate lending" have any meaning to you? A. No. The UnionBanCal has no products or services for customers. Q. In your role as an employee of Union Bank of California, does the term "real estate lending" have any meaning to you? A. Yes. It's a -- a product of -- of a commercial bank. Q. And would this encompass the loan of funds to purchase real estate, I presume? A.

I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable of that to be able to comment on it. Q. Okay.

And down here to the left there is a designation of non -- of NM/O. A. Uh-huh (affirmative). Q. And down at the bottom it indicates that that stands for non-management, the NM? A. Right. Q. And the O stands for outside? A. Yes. Q. Can you explain what those designations are or mean? A. I can try. Non-management means doesn't have a management responsibility. Outside is does not have that they are an officer or employee of one of those companies, an officer of UnionBanCal Corporation or an officer of Union Bank of California, possibly an employee of Union Bank of California, or an officer or an employee of an organization that's affiliated with UnionBanCal Corporation.

Q. And of the 17 members that are -- or the 17 individuals listed here that are members of the board of directors for UnionBanCal Corporation, how many of those also serve as directors for Union Bank of California?

And then below there there's a series of designations by various directors' names of independent. Can you explain what independent means? A. I believe I can. Q. Okay. A. It means that they have no other affiliation with a company, no officership, no employment with the company. In other words, they are only directors. Q. Back over on the left-hand side there's also a designation with the letter "I," which, down there below, represents inside. Can you explain what inside means in this regard, pertaining to this document? A. Yes, I believe I can interpret that. It means Q. Who determines the membership of the board of directors for Union Bank of -- for UnionBanCal Corporation? A. They're voted by the shareholders of UnionBanCal Corporation relative to UnionBanCal Corporation. Q. You said they're voted by the shareholders of UnionBanCal Corporation relative to UnionBanCal Corporation. A. Uh-huh (affirmative). Q. What -- what do you mean? A.
