EASTERN NATIONAL BANK
799 Brickell Plaza
Miami, Florida 33131
August __, 1995
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF EASTERN NATIONAL BANK
You are cordially invited to attend a Special Meeting of Shareholders
of Eastern National Bank ("ENB") to be held at the executive offices of ENB
located at 799 Brickell Plaza, Tenth Floor, Miami, Florida, at 10:00 a.m.
Eastern Time on _______, _______, _____, 1995.
At the Special Meeting you will have the opportunity to consider and
vote on a proposal to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as
of April 25, 1995, as amended by that certain Letter Agreement dated July 28,
1995, (collectively, the "Reorganization Agreement"), along with the Merger
Agreement annexed thereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to which ENB Interim National
Bank ("Interim"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Union Planters Corporation
("UPC"), a bank holding company headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, would be
merged with and into ENB (the "Merger"). The Boards of Directors of ENB and
UPC have approved the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement annexed
thereto as Exhibit A and the Merger contemplated thereby.
In the Merger, shareholders of ENB would receive in exchange for each
of their shares of ENB's common stock, $16.00 par value per share, outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the merger: (i) cash in the amount
of $9.86 (the "Cash Payment"); (ii) .6958 of one share of UPC's 8% Cumulative,
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series E, having no par value (the "Series E
Preferred Stock"); and (iii) UPC's unregistered, unsecured notes (the "UPC
Negotiable Notes") in three series having an aggregate principal amount equal
to $31.80 and bearing interest at eight (8%) percent per annum (except as
described in the Reorganization Agreement); provided, however, that any ENB
shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive less than 100 full
shares of Series E Preferred Stock or a UPC Negotiable Note of any one of the
three series in a principal amount of less than $100,000 would receive cash
instead of shares of the Series E Preferred Stock (based on a conversion price
equal to the highest price at which the Series E Stock should trade on the
effective date of the Merger) and UPC Negotiable Notes. At the time the
Reorganization Agreement was negotiated, the value of the Series E Preferred
Stock to be received by the shareholders of ENB was approximately $21.83 per
share of ENB common stock based on an exchange ratio of .6958 of one share of
Series E Preferred Stock for each share of ENB common stock and a current
market price of $31.38 per share for the Series E Preferred Stock. The last
trade of the Series E Preferred Stock on August 22, 1995, was $35.38 per share.
Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible at the holder's option
into 1.25 shares of UPC's Common Stock. The annexed Notice of Special Meeting
of Shareholders and combination Prospectus/Proxy Statement explain the Merger,
the consideration, the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement
annexed thereto as Exhibit A and provide specific information relative to the
Special Meeting. Please read these materials carefully and thoughtfully
consider the information contained in them. The approvals of not only ENB's
shareholders but also of certain federal and state governmental regulatory
agencies are required to consummate the Merger as well as the satisfaction of
certain contractual conditions to closing.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, you are urged
to complete, sign and promptly return the enclosed Proxy Appointment Card to
assure that your shares will be voted at the Special Meeting. For your
convenience, there is included with this material a postage-paid addressed
envelope for returning your proxy card. No additional postage is required if
mailed in the United States.
Your Board of Directors has approved the Reorganization Agreement and
believes that the Merger is in the best interests of ENB and the shareholders
of ENB. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of ENB unanimously recommends that
you vote "FOR" approval of the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger being
considered.
Sincerely,
Eastern National Bank
Jose J. Valdes-Fauli
President

PROXY STATEMENT
EASTERN NATIONAL BANK
SPECIAL MEETING TO BE HELD ________, __________, 1995
This Prospectus and Proxy Statement (hereinafter referred to for
convenience as the "Prospectus") relates to up to 317,459 shares of 8%
Cumulative, Convertible Preferred Stock, Series E (the "Series E Preferred
Stock"), having no par value but having a stated value of $25.00 per share (the
"Stated Value") of Union Planters Corporation ("UPC"), a Tennessee-chartered
bank holding company which is also registered as a savings and loan holding
company, to be issued to shareholders of Eastern National Bank ("ENB"), a
national banking association, in a merger (the "Merger") in which ENB Interim
National Bank ("Interim"), an interim national bank to be organized as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UPC, would be merged with and into ENB pursuant to
an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of April 25, 1995, by and
between ENB, Interim and UPC as amended by Letter Agreement dated as of July
28, 1995 (the "Reorganization Agreement"), along with the Merger Agreement
annexed thereto as Exhibit A. In the Merger, shareholders of ENB would receive
in exchange for each of their shares of ENB's common stock, $16.00 par value
per share (the "ENB Common Stock"), outstanding immediately prior to the
effective time of the merger: (i) cash in the amount of $9.86 (the "Cash
Payment"); (ii) .6958 of one share of Series E Preferred Stock; and (iii) UPC's
three series of unregistered, unsecured notes (the "UPC Negotiable Notes") in
aggregate principal amount equal to $31.80 and bearing interest at eight (8%)
percent per annum (subject to adjustment as described herein); provided,
however, that any ENB shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive
less than 100 full shares of Series E Preferred Stock or any fractional share
of Series E Preferred Stock shall receive cash instead of such Series E
Preferred Stock (based on a conversion price equal to the highest price at
which the Series E Preferred Stock should trade through the facilities of the
NASDAQ/NMS [as defined below] on the effective date of the Merger) and,
provided further, that any ENB shareholder who would be entitled to receive a
UPC Negotiable Note of any one series having an aggregate principal amount of
less than $100,000 shall receive instead cash equal to the principal amount of
such series of UPC Negotiable Notes. The method of determining the number of
shares of Series E Preferred Stock and the aggregate principal amount of the
UPC Negotiable Notes of each series to be received as consideration is
described below under the heading "THE MERGER--Terms of the Merger" and in
Section 3.1(e) of the Reorganization Agreement, a copy of which is annexed as
Appendix B to this Prospectus.
Holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to receive
cash dividends at the annual rate of 8% of the Stated Value, i.e. $2.00 per
share or $.50 per share, payable quarterly when and if declared, on the 15th
day of February, May, August and November. Dividends on the Series E Preferred
Stock are cumulative. Moreover, holders of Series E Preferred Stock are
entitled to a preferential distribution per share equal to the Stated Value
plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) upon the
dissolution of UPC. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible at
any time at the option of the holder into 1.25 shares of UPC's common stock,
$5.00 par value ("UPC Common Stock"), and may be redeemed for cash at the
option of UPC at any time on or after March 31, 1997 upon prior written consent
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and with prior notice
to the holder and an opportunity to convert the Series E Preferred Stock to UPC
Common Stock, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus dividends (whether
or not declared) accrued and accumulated
<PAGE> 9
but unpaid at the redemption date. Shares of Series E Preferred Stock
generally have no voting rights but may be voted in certain limited instances
provided by law and UPC's Charter.
The annexed Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and this
Prospectus explain the Merger, the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger
Agreement annexed thereto as Exhibit A, and provide specific information
relative to the Special Meeting. Please read these materials carefully and
thoughtfully consider the information contained in them. In addition to the
satisfaction of certain contractual conditions, the prior approvals of not only
ENB's shareholders but also of certain federal and state governmental
regulatory agencies are required in order to consummate the Merger.
Shares of the Series E Preferred Stock are now, and the Series E
Preferred Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger will be, listed
through the facilities of the National Association of Securities Dealers'
National Market System ("NASDAQ/NMS") under the symbol "UPCPO." Shares of UPC
Common Stock are now, and the shares of UPC Common Stock into which the Series
E Preferred Stock may be converted will be listed for trading on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "UPC." The last reported sale price
of Series E Preferred Stock on the NASDAQ/NMS on August 22, 1995, was $35.38
per share. The last reported sale price of UPC Common Stock on the NYSE on
August 22, 1995, was $28.25 per share. Although market prices are subject to
fluctuation, if the current market value of the Series E Preferred Stock should
continue to be $35.38 per share, the market value of the Series E Preferred
Stock to be received by the ENB shareholders would be approximately $24.62 per
share of ENB Common Stock.
This Prospectus also constitutes a proxy statement and is furnished to
holders of ENB Common Stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies by
the ENB Board of Directors (the "ENB Board") for use at a Special Meeting of
ENB shareholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on __________,
____________, 1995, at the executive offices of ENB, 799 Brickell Plaza, Tenth
Floor, Miami, Florida 33131 and at any adjournments or postponements thereof
(the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, holders of ENB Common Stock
of record as of the close of business on August ____, 1995, will consider and
vote upon a proposal to approve the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger
Agreement annexed thereto as Exhibit A. Upon consummation of the proposed
Merger: (i) all outstanding shares of ENB Common Stock (with the exception of
those shares held by any ENB shareholders with respect to which dissenters'
rights shall have been perfected in accordance with Federal law) would be
converted exclusively into the right to receive the "Consideration" to which
the ENB shareholders are entitled as more particularly described in Section
3.1(e) of the Reorganization Agreement, and (ii) Interim would be merged with
and into ENB which would survive the Merger and would thereafter continue to
conduct its business under the name Union Planters Bank of Florida, N.A. as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UPC.
All information contained in this Prospectus pertaining to UPC and its
subsidiaries, including Interim, has been supplied by UPC, and all information

SUMMARY
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF
ALL MATERIAL FACTS REGARDING UPC, ENB AND THE MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE
SPECIAL MEETING, AND IS QUALIFIED IN ALL RESPECTS BY THE INFORMATION APPEARING
ELSEWHERE OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN THIS PROSPECTUS, THE APPENDICES
HERETO AND THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN.
PARTIES TO THE MERGER
UPC. Union Planters Corporation ("UPC") is a multi-state bank
holding company and savings and loan holding company headquartered in Memphis,
Tennessee. At June 30, 1995, UPC had total consolidated assets of
approximately $9.7 billion, loans of approximately $6.1 billion, deposits of
approximately $8.3 billion and shareholders' equity of approximately $812
million. As of that date, UPC was the second-largest independent bank holding
company headquartered in Tennessee as measured by consolidated assets. In
recent years UPC's Management has emphasized asset quality and maintenance of
capital well in excess of regulatory minima. At June 30, 1995, UPC's ratio of
nonperforming loans to total loans was .41% and its ratio of nonperforming
assets to loans and foreclosed property was .51%. The ratio of UPC's allowance
for losses on loans to total loans at such date was 1.95% and the ratio of
UPC's allowance for losses on loans to nonperforming loans was 475%. Also at
such date, UPC's Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and
leverage ratios were 12.98%, 15.49% and 7.96%, respectively.
UPC conducts its business activities through its principal bank
subsidiary, the $2.1 billion Union Planters National Bank, founded in 1869 and
headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee; 31 other bank subsidiaries; and two
savings and loan subsidiaries located in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Alabama and Kentucky (collectively, the "Banking Subsidiaries").
See "- Recent Developments Affecting UPC." Through its Banking Subsidiaries,
UPC provides a diversified range of financial services in the communities in
which they operate, including traditional banking services; consumer,
commercial and corporate lending; retail banking and mortgage banking. UPC
also is engaged in mortgage servicing; investment management and trust
services; the issuance and servicing of credit and debit cards; and the
origination, packaging and securitization of the government-guaranteed portions
of Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans.
Through its Banking Subsidiaries, UPC operates approximately 379
banking offices. UPC's assets are allocable by state to its banking offices
approximately as follows: $5.9 billion in Tennessee, $2.4 billion in
Mississippi, $682 million in Arkansas, $501 million in Louisiana, $267 million
in Alabama and $108 million in Kentucky.
Acquisitions have been, and are expected to continue to be, an
important part of the expansion of UPC's business. UPC completed four
acquisitions in 1992, 12 in 1993 and 13 in 1994, adding approximately $1.6
billion in total assets in 1992, $1.3 billion in 1993 and $3.8 billion in 1994.
As of June 20, 1995, UPC entered into a definitive agreement with Capital
Bancorporation, Inc. ("Capital") for the merger of Capital with and into CBI
Acquisition Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of UPC (the "Capital
Acquisition"). At June 30, 1995, Capital had total consolidated assets of
approximately $1.1 billion, loans of approximately $850 million, deposits of
$975 million and shareholders' equity of $78 million. For additional
information regarding the acquisition of Capital and the impact of the
acquisition of Capital and ENB on the financial condition of UPC, see "-Recent
Developments Affecting UPC's Pending Acquisitions" and "-ProForma Condensed
Consolidated Financial Information." For a discussion
<PAGE> 18
of UPC's acquisition program and its management's philosophy on that subject,
see the caption "UPC's Pending Acquisitions" (on pages 10 and 11) and Note 2 to
UPC's audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December
31, 1994 and 1993 (on pages 43 through 47) which are included in UPC's Annual
Report to Shareholders which is Exhibit 13 to UPC's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1994, which Exhibit 13 is incorporated by
reference herein to the extent indicated. UPC expects to continue to take
advantage of the consolidation of the financial services industry by further
developing its franchise through the acquisition of financial institutions.
Future acquisitions may entail the payment by UPC of consideration in excess of
the book value of the underlying net assets acquired, may result in the
issuance of additional shares of UPC capital stock or the incurring of
additional indebtedness by UPC, and could have a dilutive effect on the
earnings or book value per share of UPC. Moreover, significant charges against
earnings are sometimes required incidental to acquisitions. For acquisitions
which are currently pending, see "-- Recent Developments Affecting UPC."
UPC controls risk through centralized loan review and audit functions
as well as close monitoring of the financial performance of each Banking
Subsidiary. UPC also implements its asset and liability management strategy on
a consolidated basis and effects all trades for the investment portfolios of
UPC's Banking Subsidiaries. UPC seeks to achieve economies in the Banking
Subsidiaries through consolidation of administrative and operational processes
and has substantially completed converting all of the Banking Subsidiaries to a
common data processing system. This system conversion is expected to be
completed by the end of 1995 and should permit UPC to realize significant cost
savings upon full implementation.
Additional information about UPC is included in the documents
incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. See "INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN
DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE."
UPC's corporate office is located at 7130 Goodlett Farms Parkway,
Memphis, Tennessee 38018, and its telephone number is (901) 383-6000.
ENB. Eastern National Bank is a national banking association
headquartered in Miami, Florida. Its main office is located at 799 Brickell
Plaza in Miami, Florida. ENB has five full-service branch offices, all located
in Dade County, Florida. At June 30, 1995, ENB had total assets of $266.3
million, total deposits of $235.1 million, and total shareholders' equity of
$20.6 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, ENB had net
income of $1.2 million.
ENB offers traditional banking services including commercial,
consumer, and real estate loans; deposit accounts; and private banking
services. ENB has approximately 124 full-time-equivalent employees.
ENB has been in operation in Miami since 1969. It opened its branches
at Brickell and Coral Gables, Florida in 1983 and 1988, respectively, and now
also has branches at Hialeah, Kendall and Miami West Airport. ENB has one
subsidiary, ENB Holdings, Inc. which manages and owns the building where ENB's
main office is located. At June 30, 1995, ENB Holdings, Inc. had total assets
of $4.8 million. ENB's telephone (main office) is (305) 347-1520.
INTERIM. ENB Interim National Bank is to be an interim national bank
headquartered in Miami, Florida organized solely for the purpose of
consummating the Merger. Interim will be organized by UPC as a wholly-owned
subsidiary and will have its main office at 799 Brickell Plaza, Miami, Florida
33131. In the Merger, Interim would be merged with and into ENB which would
survive the Merger as the
2
<PAGE> 19
resulting bank (hereinafter, as the context requires, the "Resulting Bank") and
after the Merger would operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of UPC under the
name Union Planters Bank of Florida, N.A.
SPECIAL MEETING OF ENB SHAREHOLDERS
A Special Meeting (the "Special Meeting") of the Shareholders of ENB
will be held on _______, ___________, 1995, at ______ a.m. Eastern Time, at the
executive offices of ENB located at 799 Brickell Plaza, Tenth Floor, Miami,
Florida 33131, to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the
Reorganization Agreement (as amended by the Letter Agreement dated July 28,
1995) and the Merger Agreement annexed thereto as Exhibit A. See "THE SPECIAL
MEETING."
VOTES REQUIRED; RECORD DATE
Only holders of ENB Common Stock of record at the close of business on
August ___, 1995 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to receive notice of, and
vote at the Special Meeting. The affirmative votes of the holders of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the 456,250 shares of ENB Common Stock outstanding on the
Record Date are required to approve the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger
Agreement annexed thereto as Exhibit A.
The directors and executive officers of ENB (the "Management Group")
held beneficially and of record, as of the Record Date, 379 shares or
approximately .084% of the outstanding shares of ENB Common Stock which ENB
Management has advised they intend to vote in favor of the proposed Merger.
ENB has also been advised by the Trustees of the ENB Revocable Trust and by
Eastern Overseas Bank Ltd., respectively the record holders of 432,379 shares
(94.768%) and 22,803 shares (4.998%) of ENB's outstanding shares, that they
intend to vote all of their shares of ENB Common Stock in favor of approval of
the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement annexed thereto as
Exhibit A. Should the ENB Revocable Trust alone do so, the requirement of ENB
shareholder approval would be satisfied. See "THE SPECIAL MEETING."
TERMS OF THE MERGER
Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of ENB Common Stock which
shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger
(except for those shares with respect to which dissenters' rights shall have
been perfected in accordance with Federal law) will be converted exclusively
into the right to receive the consideration stipulated in the Reorganization
Agreement (the "Consideration"). Section 3.1(e) of the Reorganization
Agreement describes the method of determining the amount of Consideration to be
received by the ENB shareholders in exchange for their shares of ENB Common
Stock.
In the Merger, the persons who shall be shareholders of record of ENB
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (the "ENB Record
Holders") would receive in exchange for each of their shares of ENB's common
stock, the Consideration consisting of the following three components: (i)
cash in the amount of $9.86 (the "Cash Payment"); (ii) .6958 of one share of
Series E Preferred Stock; and (iii) UPC Negotiable Notes issued in three
series, in aggregate principal amount equal to $31.80 and bearing interest at
eight (8%) percent per annum; provided, however, that any ENB Record Holder who
would otherwise be entitled to receive less than 100 full shares of Series E
Preferred Stock or to receive a UPC Negotiable Note of any one of the three
series in an aggregate principal amount of less than $100,000 would receive,
respectively, cash in an amount equal to the "highest trade price" of the
Series E Preferred
3
<PAGE> 20
Stock through the facilities of the NASDAQ/NMS on the effective date of the
Merger or the next day on which the Series E Preferred Stock trades (the
"Highest Trade Price") for each whole share of Series E Preferred Stock to
which such ENB Record Holder would otherwise be entitled, and cash in an amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of UPC Negotiable Notes to which such
Record Holder would otherwise be entitled. See "THE MERGER--Terms of the
Merger" for a detailed description of the components of the Consideration.
The number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be received as
part of the Consideration for each share of ENB Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger is based upon an exchange
ratio (the "Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio") of .6958 of one share of Series E
Preferred Stock for each share of ENB Common Stock. The last trade of the
Series E Preferred Stock on August 22, 1995, was $35.38 per share. As of such
date, the value of the Series E Preferred Stock to be received by the ENB
Record Holders would have been approximately $24.62 per share of ENB common
stock.
ENB Record Holders entitled to receive UPC Negotiable Notes would
receive UPC Negotiable Notes (in three series) each bearing interest at eight
(8%) percent per annum. The principal amounts, maturity dates and interest
payment dates of the UPC Negotiable Notes of each of the three series are as
follows:
(i) the UPC Negotiable Notes, Series I (the "Series I Notes") shall be
issued in principal amount equal to $15.90 per share of ENB Common
Stock and shall be payable as to principal on the one-year anniversary
of the effective date of the Merger and as to interest quarterly
beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter subsequent to the
quarter in which the effective date of the Merger shall occur; (ii)
the UPC Negotiable Notes, Series II (the "Series II Notes") shall be
issued in principal amount equal to $12.61 per share of ENB Common
Stock and shall be payable as to principal on March 31, 1997 and as to
interest quarterly beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter
subsequent to the quarter in which the effective date of the Merger
shall occur; and (iii) the UPC Negotiable Notes, Series III (the
"Series III Notes") shall be issued in principal amount equal to $3.29
per share of ENB Common Stock and shall be payable as to principal on
September 30, 1997 and as to interest quarterly beginning on the first
day of the calendar quarter subsequent to the quarter in which the
effective date of the Merger shall occur (subject to actual receipt by
the Resulting Bank of moneys equal to or in excess of amounts due on
the Series III Notes in repayment of certain loans made by ENB to
Aerovias Venezolanas, S.A., a Venezuelan corporation (the "Scheduled
Borrower") which are currently in default and which are more
particularly described in the Reorganization Agreement).
Thus, in addition to his or her $9.86 per share Cash Payment, an ENB
Record Holder who shall hold less than 6,290 shares of ENB Common Stock would
receive in lieu of any Consideration in the form of UPC Negotiable Notes of all
Series, a cash payment equal to $31.80 multiplied by the number of shares of
ENB Common Stock held and an ENB Record Holder who shall hold less than 144
shares of ENB Common Stock would receive in lieu of any Consideration in the
form of Series E Preferred Stock a cash payment equal to the Highest Trade
Price, multiplied by the number of whole and fractional shares of shares of
Series E Preferred Stock to which an ENB Record Holder would otherwise be
entitled. The Highest Trade Price of the Series E Preferred Stock on August
22, 1995 was $35.38 per share. Accordingly, if the market should be the same
on the Effective Date of the Merger, an ENB Record
4
<PAGE> 21
Holder who shall hold less than 144 shares of ENB Common Stock would receive in
the aggregate approximately $66.27 in cash in exchange for each share of ENB
Common Stock held (and no Series E Preferred Stock and no UPC Negotiable
Notes). The market price of the Series E Preferred Stock may change
significantly prior to the Effective Date of the Merger.
EFFECTIVE DATE
The Merger will become effective at the time specified in the Official
Certification of Merger (the "Certification") issued by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (the "Comptroller") in accordance with Federal Law
(the "Effective Time of the Merger"). Such Certification is generally issued
within ten (10) days of request by the parties made following receipt of all
regulatory approvals. Assuming the timely receipt of all prior regulatory
approvals, the expiration of all statutory waiting periods and the satisfaction
or waiver of all contractual conditions to closing set forth in the
Reorganization Agreement, it is expected that the Merger would become effective
on or about December 31, 1995. The effective date of the Merger will be the
day on which the Effective Time of the Merger occurs (the "Effective Date of
the Merger"). Only the ENB Record Holders will be entitled to receive the
Consideration for the Merger pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement and the
Merger Agreement annexed thereto as Exhibit A.
REASONS FOR THE MERGER; RECOMMENDATIONS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors of ENB (the "ENB Board") believes the Merger is
fair to, and in the best interests of ENB and its shareholders and unanimously
recommends that ENB's shareholders vote "FOR" approval of the Reorganization
Agreement and the Merger Agreement annexed thereto as Exhibit A. The ENB
Board, after consideration of a number of alternatives available to ENB and
ENB's shareholders, believes that the Merger will enable the ENB shareholders
to participate in opportunities for investment value and growth. The Merger
and the resulting affiliation with UPC's banking network would give ENB's
banking offices access to a substantially larger base of capital and enhanced
regulatory and operating expertise and would permit ENB's banking offices to
expand services beyond those presently provided. Moreover, affiliation with
UPC will enhance the ability of the banking offices presently operated by ENB
to compete more effectively in the Southeast Florida marketplace and to enjoy
certain economies of scale in their banking operations. See "THE
MERGER--Background of and Reasons for the Merger."
FAIRNESS OPINION OF THE ROBINSON-HUMPHREY COMPANY, INC.
ENB has retained The Robinson-Humphrey Company, Inc.
("Robinson-Humphrey") as its financial advisor in connection with the Merger
and requested that Robinson-Humphrey render its opinion with respect to the
fairness from a financial point of view to the ENB shareholders of the
Consideration to be received by them in the Merger. Robinson-Humphrey rendered
its written opinion to ENB's Board of Directors (the "ENB Board") to the effect
that as of April 25, 1995, the Consideration to be received by the ENB
shareholders in the Merger was fair from a financial point of view, to such
shareholders. The fairness opinion sets forth a description of assumptions
made and matters considered by Robinson-Humphrey, and contains certain
limitations and qualifications. A copy of the fairness opinion is attached as
Appendix C to this Prospectus, and the description set forth herein is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the opinion.
For additional information, see "THE MERGER--Fairness Opinion of the
Robinson-Humphrey Company, Inc." herein and the copy of the fairness opinion
attached hereto as Appendix C.

<PAGE> 22
CONDITIONS; REGULATORY APPROVALS
Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including
receipt of the approval of the ENB shareholders, receipt of the required prior
regulatory approvals and satisfaction of certain customary contractual closing
conditions.
The regulatory approvals and consents necessary to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement include the prior
approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "Comptroller");
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"),
and the Florida Department of Banking and Finance (the "Florida Department").
Applications for such approvals are expected to be submitted to each of the
respective regulatory agencies within thirty (30) days after the date of the
Special Meeting. There can be no assurance as to when or if UPC and ENB will
receive the necessary regulatory approvals. See "THE MERGER--Conditions to
Consummation of the Merger," "--Regulatory Approvals" and "--Conduct of
Business Pending the Merger" and "CERTAIN REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS."
MANAGEMENT AFTER THE MERGER
At the Effective Time of the Merger, the persons who are serving
immediately prior thereto as officers or directors of ENB shall cease to be
officers or directors of ENB (then operating as Union Planters Bank of Florida,
N.A.) as the bank resulting from and surviving the Merger. Such individuals as
shall be designated by UPC shall be elected or appointed effective immediately
following the Effective Time of the Merger and thereafter shall hold office as
provided in the Articles of Association and ByLaws of the Resulting Bank. It
is anticipated that the persons named below will be elected or appointed to
serve as officers and directors of the Resulting Bank unless and until their
successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and have qualified.
Certain of the directors of the two merging banks would continue as directors
of the Resulting Bank:
Carole Fewell Abel L. Iglesias
Robert L. Jamerson, Jr. Caridad Campos
Jose J. Valdes-Fauli Robert E. Diaz
Melvin Wolfe Isis Valle
See "THE MERGER--Management After the Merger."
SHAREHOLDERS' DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
Any shareholder of ENB entitled to vote on the proposed Reorganization
Agreement and Merger Agreement annexed thereto as Exhibit A has the right to
receive in cash, the appraised value of his or her shares of ENB Common Stock
upon compliance with United States Code Annotated, Title 12, Section 215(b)-(d)
(the "Statute") a copy of which is annexed to this Prospectus as Appendix D.
Shareholders wishing to dissent from the Reorganization Agreement are urged to
read carefully "THE SPECIAL MEETING--Shareholders' Dissenters' Rights" and
Appendix D and should consult with their own legal advisors.

<PAGE> 23
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
It is expected that for federal income tax purposes the Merger will
not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, for federal income
tax purposes the ENB Record Holders will be treated as if they had sold their
stock in a taxable transaction and will realize and recognize gain or loss (if
any) to the extent of the cash, the value of the Series E Preferred Stock and
UPC Negotiable Notes received as the Consideration for their ENB Common Stock.
An ENB Record Holder may also recognize gain or loss by reason of receiving
cash in lieu of a fractional share or as a result of the exercise of
Dissenters' Rights. See "THE MERGER--Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences."
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The Merger is intended to be accounted for as a "purchase" under
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as described in Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 16 and the interpretations thereof. See "THE
MERGER-- Accounting Treatment."

by federal bank regulatory authorities. Under those guidelines, the
required minimum Tier 1 and Total Capital to risk-weighted assets ratios
are 4% and 8%, respectively. The required minimum leverage ratio of Tier
1 capital to total adjusted assets is 3% to 5% (5% for bank holding
companies effecting acquisitions).

Reorganization of Union Planters Bank of Mississippi. It is anticipated that
prior to the end of August, 1995, fifty- five (55) of the branches now held by
Union Planters Bank of Mississippi ("UPBM") (formerly Sunburst Bank,
Mississippi) will be transferred to two newly-formed and two existing regional
banking subsidiaries of UPC. While the separation of the branches previously
held by UPBM will have no material impact on the consolidated financial
condition of UPC, it will promote the identification of individual branch
operations within their local communities.

PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following tables contain unaudited consolidated pro forma
condensed financial information including a balance sheet at June 30, 1995 and
statements of earnings for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 and the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. The pro forma statements reflect
pro forma historical results for (i) UPC for all periods; and (ii) UPC,
Capital, other Consummated and Pending Acquisitions and the retirement of debt
and preferred stock related to the Capital Acquisition. The acquisition of ENB
and the other Consummated and Pending Acquisitions set forth in the table on
page 14 (except the Capital Acquisition) are not material to UPC and therefore
are not presented separately in these pro forma statements. The Capital
Acquisition meets the significant subsidiary test and proforma financial
information is presented for all periods. The unaudited pro forma financial
information reflects the pending acquisitions using the purchase method of
accounting, except for Planters Bank & Trust Co. and Capital Bancorporation,
Inc. which are expected to be accounted for as poolings of interests. The
unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with
the historical consolidated financial statements of UPC and ENB, respectively,
and in conjunction with the information presented in UPC's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q dated June 30, 1995 and UPC's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated July
20, 1995, August 21, 1995 and August 22, 1995. Pro forma results are not
necessarily indicative of future operating results. See "INCORPORATION OF
CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE" and "Appendices A-1 and A-2."

THE SPECIAL MEETING
TIME AND PLACE OF SPECIAL MEETING; SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
Each copy of this Prospectus mailed to holders of record of ENB Common
Stock is accompanied by a proxy appointment card furnished in connection with
the ENB Board's solicitation of proxies for use at the Special Meeting and at
any adjournments or postponements thereof. The Special Meeting is scheduled to
be held at _____ a.m. Eastern Time on ________, _________, 1995, at ENB's
executive offices located at 799 Brickell Plaza, Tenth Floor, Miami, Florida
33131. Only holders of record of ENB Common Stock at the close of business on
August __, 1995, are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Special
Meeting. At the Special Meeting, ENB shareholders will consider and vote upon
a proposal to approve the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement
annexed thereto as Exhibit A. The shareholders would also act upon such other
matters as may properly be brought before the Special Meeting or any
adjournments or postponements thereof. Management is not aware of any other
matters to be acted upon at the Special Meeting.
HOLDERS OF ENB COMMON STOCK ARE REQUESTED TO COMPLETE, DATE AND SIGN
THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY APPOINTMENT CARD AND RETURN IT PROMPTLY TO ENB IN THE
ENCLOSED, POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE. FAILURE TO RETURN YOUR PROPERLY EXECUTED
PROXY APPOINTMENT CARD OR TO VOTE AT THE SPECIAL MEETING WILL HAVE THE SAME
EFFECT AS A VOTE AGAINST THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT AND THE MERGER AGREEMENT
ANNEXED THERETO AS EXHIBIT A (BUT WILL NOT BE SUFFICIENT, WITHOUT FURTHER
ACTION, TO PERFECT DISSENTERS' RIGHTS). ENB SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT FORWARD
ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES WITH THEIR PROXY APPOINTMENT CARDS.
Any holder of ENB Common Stock who has delivered a proxy appointment
may revoke it at any time before it is voted by attending the Special Meeting
and voting in person at the Special Meeting or by giving notice of revocation
in writing or submitting a signed proxy appointment bearing a later date to
Eastern National Bank, 799 Brickell Plaza, Miami, Florida 33131, Attention:
Corporate Secretary, provided such notice or proxy appointment is actually
received by ENB before the vote of shareholders has been taken. A proxy
appointment will not be revoked by the death or supervening incapacity of the
shareholder executing the proxy appointment unless, before the shares are
voted, notice of such death or incapacity shall have been filed with the
Corporate Secretary or other person responsible for tabulating the votes on
behalf of ENB. The shares of ENB Common Stock represented by properly executed
proxy appointments received will be voted "FOR" (or "AGAINST," as indicated)
approval of the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement annexed
thereto as Exhibit A. If any other matters are properly presented at the
Special Meeting for consideration, the persons named in the ENB proxy
appointment card enclosed herewith will have discretionary authority to vote on
such matters in accordance with their best judgment; provided, however, that
such discretionary authority (i) will only be exercised to the extent
permissible under applicable federal or state securities law and (ii) will not
extend to any motion to adjourn the Special Meeting made by ENB for the purpose
of soliciting additional proxy appointments. ENB is unaware of any matter to
be presented at the Special Meeting other than the proposal to approve the
Reorganization Agreement.
21
<PAGE> 38
The cost of soliciting proxies from holders of ENB Common Stock will
be borne by ENB. Such solicitation will be made by mail but also may be made
by telephone or in person by the directors, officers and employees of ENB (who
will receive no additional compensation for doing so).
VOTES REQUIRED
The affirmative votes of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of
the outstanding shares of ENB Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special
Meeting are required in order to approve the Reorganization Agreement.
Therefore, a failure to return a properly executed proxy appointment card or
alternatively to vote in person at the Special Meeting will have the same
effect as a vote against the Reorganization Agreement (but will not be legally
sufficient without further action by the ENB shareholder to perfect his or her
dissenters' rights). As of the Record Date, there were 456,250 shares of ENB
Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, with each
share entitled to one vote.
The directors and executive officers of ENB (the "Management Group")
held beneficially and of record as of the Record Date 379 shares or
approximately .084% of the outstanding shares of ENB Common Stock. ENB has
been advised by the members of the Management Group that they intend to vote
their shares for the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger. ENB Management
has also been advised by Eastern Overseas Bank Ltd. and by the Trustees of the
ENB Revocable Trust, respectively the record holders or beneficial owners of
22,803 shares (4.998%) and 432,379 shares (94.768%) of the outstanding ENB
Common Stock, that these two shareholders intend to vote, or cause their shares
to be voted in favor of the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger. Should
the ENB Revocable Trust alone do so, the requirement of shareholder approval
would be satisfied.
SHAREHOLDERS' DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
Any shareholder of ENB entitled to vote on the Merger has the right to
receive in cash, the appraised value of his or her shares of ENB Common Stock
upon compliance with Title 12, subsections 215(b)-(d) of the United States Code
Annotated (the "Statute"), a copy of which is annexed to this Prospectus as
Appendix D. A shareholder may not dissent as to less than all of the shares
which he or she beneficially owns. A nominee or fiduciary may not dissent on
behalf of a beneficial owner as to less than all of the shares of such
beneficial owner held of record by such nominee or fiduciary. A beneficial
owner asserting dissenters' rights to shares held on his or her behalf must
notify ENB in writing of the name and address of the record holder of the
shares, if known to him or her.
Any ENB shareholder may enforce his or her dissenters' rights either
(i) by voting against the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement
annexed thereto as Exhibit A (either personally or by proxy) or (ii) by giving
notice in writing (the "Objection Notice") to the Corporate Secretary of ENB at
or prior to the Special Meeting of Shareholders approving the Reorganization
Agreement and the Merger Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit A that he or she
dissents from the Merger. In order to perfect a shareholder's dissent, within
30 days after the Effective Date of the Merger the dissenting shareholder must
also deliver written demand for payment (the "Demand Letter") to the Resulting
Bank, which Demand Letter must be accompanied by the certificates formerly
representing the ENB shares owned by the dissenting shareholder. Any
dissenting shareholder who shall fail to make the demand shall be bound by the
terms of the Merger regardless of whether he voted his shares against the
Merger at the Special Meeting. Consequently, any ENB shareholder desiring to
exercise his or her dissenters' rights and rights to payment for his or her
shares is urged to consult his or her legal advisers before attempting to
exercise such rights.
22
<PAGE> 39
Within the 90-day period following the Effective Date of the Merger,
the value of the shares held by such dissenting shareholders shall be
determined by three appraisers as of the date on which the shareholders meeting
authorizing the Merger was concluded. One appraiser shall be selected by the
dissenting shareholders (by vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate
number of dissenting shares held by all dissenting shareholders) and the second
appraiser shall be selected by the Resulting Bank. The third appraiser shall
be chosen by the other two so chosen. The valuation agreed to by any two of
the three appraisers shall be the valuation of the dissenting shares and shall
be paid promptly to the dissenting shareholders who have properly requested
payment; provided, however, that if the value so fixed shall be unsatisfactory
to any dissenting shareholder who shall have properly requested payment, that
shareholder may, within five days after being notified of the appraised value,
appeal to the Comptroller, who shall cause a final and binding reappraisal to
be made.
If within the 90-day period following the Effective Date of the
Merger, one of the appraisers should not have been selected for any reason, or
if the appraisers should have failed to determine the value of the dissenting
shareholders' shares, the Comptroller shall, upon written request of any
interested party, cause an appraisal to be made which shall be final and
binding upon all parties. The expenses of the Comptroller in making an
appraisal or reappraisal (upon appeal by a dissenting shareholder) shall be
borne by the Resulting Bank. If no written request should be served upon the
Comptroller within five days of the expiration of the 90-day period, then all
dissenting shareholders shall be bound by the appraisal or reappraisal last to
occur; provided, however, that if UPC shall receive any consideration in excess
of that paid to the dissenting shareholders upon auction of the Series E
Preferred Stock to which such dissenting shareholders would have been entitled
as provided in Section 215(d), such excess consideration shall be paid to the
dissenting shareholders promptly upon receipt.
The foregoing summary of the applicable provisions of Sections
215(b)-(d) of the Statute is not intended to be a complete statement of such
provisions, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Section, a
copy of which is annexed to this Prospectus as Appendix D. FAILURE TO COMPLY
WITH THESE PROCEDURES WILL CAUSE THE ENB SHAREHOLDER TO LOSE HIS OR HER
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS TO RECEIVE IN CASH PAYMENT FOR THE SHARES. CONSEQUENTLY,
ANY ENB SHAREHOLDER WHO DESIRES TO EXERCISE HIS OR HER RIGHTS TO PAYMENT FOR
HIS OR HER SHARES IS URGED TO CONSULT HIS OR HER LEGAL ADVISER BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO EXERCISE SUCH RIGHTS.
For a discussion of certain federal income tax consequences in
connection with exercising Dissenters' Rights, see "THE MERGER - Certain
Federal Income Tax Consequences."
RECOMMENDATION
For the reasons described below, the ENB Board has adopted the
Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement and believes that the Merger
is in the best interest of ENB and its shareholders and recommends that
shareholders of ENB vote "FOR" approval of the Reorganization Agreement and the
annexed Merger Agreement.
THE MERGER
The following information concerning the Merger, insofar as it relates
to matters contained in the Reorganization Agreement or the Merger Agreement
annexed thereto as Exhibit A, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement which are annexed
23
<PAGE> 40
hereto as Appendix B. ENB shareholders are urged to read carefully the
Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement annexed thereto as Exhibit A.
BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR THE MERGER
Background. Eastern National Bank is a national banking association
headquartered in Miami, Florida. Its main office is located at 799 Brickell
Plaza in Miami, Florida. At June 30, 1995, the Company had total assets of
$266.3 million, total deposits of $235.1 million, and total shareholders'
equity of $20.6 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, ENB had
net income of $1.2 million.
ENB offers traditional banking services including commercial,
consumer, and real estate loans, deposit accounts, and private banking
services. ENB had approximately 124 full-time-equivalent employees as of June
30, 1995.
ENB has been in operation in Miami since 1969. It currently operates
branches at Hialeah, Brickell, Kendall, Miami West Airport and in Coral Gables.
ENB has one subsidiary, ENB Holdings, Inc. The book value of assets held by
ENB Holdings on June 30, 1995, was $4.8 million.
Economic and regulatory changes, including advances in technology and
increased competition and regulatory complexity, have been the impetus to
consolidation within the banking industry. In Florida, a number of banks and
bank holding companies have, during the past few years, been acquired or have
engaged in merger or consolidation transactions due to these pressures.
From time to time, the ENB Board and the management of ENB have
considered various strategies for ENB, including its sale.
In September, 1994 the ENB Board decided to pursue the sale of ENB and
engaged Robinson-Humphrey on September 23, 1994 to act as its exclusive agent
in the sale of ENB. With the assistance of Robinson-Humphrey, the ENB Board
prepared an offering memorandum and package of information to be disseminated
to potential purchasers and compiled a selective list of potential purchasers
to be contacted. Beginning in November of 1994, Robinson-Humphrey made
preliminary inquiries of the persons on the ENB Board's list of potential
purchasers (including UPC) and a limited number of them expressed an interest
in receiving further information about ENB. Copies of the offering memorandum
and information package were sent to only those who expressed an interest
following those preliminary contacts.
On December 11, 1994, Benjamin W. Rawlins, Jr., Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer of UPC, met with Jose J. Valdes-Fauli, President of
ENB, and representatives of Robinson-Humphrey to discuss possible acquisition
alternatives. Mr. Rawlins submitted a preliminary proposal to ENB on January
19, 1995 following which ENB and UPC entered into exclusive negotiations. No
other proposals were received for the purchase of ENB.
After further negotiation, a mutual review by the parties of the
respective operations of the respective parties and receipt of the fairness
opinion of Robinson-Humphrey by the ENB Board, UPC and ENB executed the
Reorganization Agreement as of April 25, 1995 (a copy of which, together with
the Merger Agreement, is annexed to this Prospectus as Appendix B), which was
approved by the ENB Board at a special meeting on April 11, 1995, and ratified
by the Board of Directors of UPC (the "UPC Board") at its regular meeting held
on April 27, 1995. The Reorganization Agreement was revised and reexecuted
24
<PAGE> 41
on June 30, 1995 in order to clarify certain ambiguities in the original terms
of the Reorganization Agreement. In addition, the Reorganization Agreement was
amended by Letter Agreement dated as of July 28, 1995 (a copy of which Letter
Agreement is included in Appendix B to this Prospectus.
ENB Reasons. In light of the foregoing, the ENB Board has voted
unanimously to recommend approval by the ENB shareholders of the Reorganization
Agreement and the Merger Agreement annexed thereto as Exhibit A for, among
others, the following reasons:
(i) The consideration to be paid by UPC. See "THE MERGER -- Terms
of the Merger." Based on a market price per share of $31.38 for Series E
Preferred Stock (determined as of the date of the Reorganization Agreement,
April 25, 1995), the Cash Payment and the UPC Negotiable Notes, the transaction
value of the consideration to be delivered by UPC reflected a price-to-book
multiple of approximately 1.50 times ENB's book value as of December 31, 1994,
and a price-to- earnings multiple of 17.78 (based on 1994 net income). A
representative of Robinson-Humphrey advised the ENB Board that these multiples
compared favorably with the ratios of recently completed comparable bank merger
transactions in Florida;
(ii) The trends in the banking industry are toward consolidation and
increased regulation; particularly, recent changes have resulted in an
environment in which community banks have commanded and for some indefinite
future period will command, attractive purchase prices; and the ENB Board
sought to take advantage of this environment;
(iii) ENB will benefit from UPC's capital, operations and regulatory
expertise and management talent, and may achieve certain economies of scale in
its banking operations;
(iv) Since no dividends have been paid by ENB since 1985, the annual
dividend yield on the Series E Preferred Stock offered in exchange for the ENB
Common Stock exceeds the historical yield on the ENB Common Stock for which it
would be exchanged and there is a much broader and more liquid market for the
Series E Preferred Stock, which is listed on the NASDAQ/NMS.
UPC Reasons. Management of UPC has recommended to the UPC Board and
the UPC Board has approved the Merger and the Reorganization Agreement along
with the Merger Agreement annexed thereto as Exhibit A, because (i) ENB has
experienced steady and continued growth, (ii) ENB which is active in
international trade and finance provides UPC the opportunity to expand into an
area into which it has sought to establish a market, and (iii) UPC believes
that by providing ENB with access to the UPC capital base and other banking
resources, the banking offices presently operated by ENB will be well
positioned to compete in its respective markets in the face of enhanced
competition from larger, better capitalized institutions.
FAIRNESS OPINION OF THE ROBINSON-HUMPHREY COMPANY, INC.
General. ENB retained The Robinson-Humphrey Company, Inc.
("Robinson-Humphrey") to act as its financial adviser in connection with the
Merger. Robinson-Humphrey has rendered an opinion to ENB's Board of Directors
that, based on the matters set forth therein, the Consideration to be received
pursuant to the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to the ENB
shareholders. The text of such opinion is set forth in full in Appendix C to
this Prospectus and should be read in its entirety by shareholders of ENB.
25
<PAGE> 42
The Consideration to be received by the ENB Record Holders in the
Merger was determined by ENB and UPC in their negotiations. No limitations
were imposed by the ENB Board or management upon Robinson-Humphrey with respect
to the investigations made or the procedures followed by Robinson-Humphrey in
rendering its opinion.
In connection with rendering its opinion to the ENB Board,
Robinson-Humphrey performed a variety of financial analyses. However, the
preparation of a fairness opinion involves determinations as to the most
appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of
those methods to the particular circumstances, and, therefore, such an opinion
is not readily susceptible to summary description. Robinson-Humphrey, in
conducting its analysis and in arriving at its opinion, has not conducted a
physical inspection of any of the properties or assets of ENB or UPC, and has
not made or obtained any independent valuation or appraisals of any properties,
assets or liabilities of ENB or UPC. Robinson-Humphrey has assumed and relied
upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information that
was provided to it by ENB and UPC or that was publicly available. Its opinion
is necessarily based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on,
and the information made available to it as of the date of, its analyses.
Valuation Methodologies. In connection with its opinion on the Merger
and the presentation of that opinion to the ENB Board, Robinson-Humphrey
performed two valuation analyses with respect to ENB: (i) an analysis of
comparable prices and terms of recent transactions involving banks buying
banks; and (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis. Each of these methodologies
is discussed briefly below.
Comparable Transaction Analysis. Robinson-Humphrey performed
an analyses of premiums paid for selected banks with
comparable characteristics to ENB. Comparable transactions
were considered to be transactions since January 1, 1994,
where the seller was a bank located in Florida with assets
less than $300 million.
Based on the foregoing transactions, the analysis yielded a
range of transaction values to book value of 1.01 times to
2.61 times, with a mean of 1.82 times and a median of 1.69
times. These compare to a transaction value for the Merger of
approximately 1.50 times ENB's book value as of December 31,
1994.
The analysis yielded a range of transaction values as a
multiple of tangible book value for the comparable
transactions ranging from 1.01 times to 2.61 times, with a
mean of 1.82 times and a median of 1.69 times. These compare
to a transaction value to tangible book value at December 31,
1994 of approximately 1.54 times for the Merger.
The analysis yielded a range of transaction values at a
multiple of trailing twelve month earnings. These values
ranged from 9.32 times to 33.77 times, with a mean of 20.49
times and a median of 18.31 times. These compare to a
transaction value to the December 31, 1994 trailing twelve
months earnings of 17.78 times for the Merger.
The analysis yielded a range of transaction values as a
percent of total assets. These values ranged from 6.65
percent to 24.14 percent, with a mean of 15.08 percent and a
median of 13.73 percent. These compare to a transaction value
to the December 31, 1994 total assets of 11.97 percent for the
Merger.
26
<PAGE> 43
No company or transaction used in these or comparable
transaction analyses is identical to ENB. Accordingly, an
analysis of the foregoing necessarily involves complex
considerations and judgments, as well as other factors that
affect the public trading value or the acquisition value of
the company to which it is being compared.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Using discounted cash flow
analysis, Robinson-Humphrey estimated the present value of the
future stream of after-tax cash flows that ENB could produce
through 1999, under various circumstances, assuming that ENB
performed in accordance with the earnings/return projections
of management at the time that ENB entered into acquisition
discussions in November, 1994. Robinson- Humphrey estimated
the terminal value for ENB at the end of the period by
applying multiples of earnings ranging from 8.0 times to 10.0
times and then discounting the cash flow streams, dividends
paid to shareholders and terminal value using differing
discount rates (ranging from 10.0 percent to 12.0 percent)
chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding the required
rates of return of ENB and the inherent risk surrounding the
underlying projections. This discounted cash flow analysis
indicated a reference range of $23.1 million to $27.8 million
for ENB.
Compensation of Robinson-Humphrey. Pursuant to an engagement letter
dated September 23, 1994 between ENB and Robinson-Humphrey, ENB agreed to pay
Robinson-Humphrey a $50,000 Fairness Opinion Fee and an incremental Success Fee
(to be paid at closing) equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of any
consideration paid, less the Fairness Opinion Fee. ENB has also agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless Robinson-Humphrey and its officers and employees
against certain liabilities in connection with its services under the
engagement letter, except for liabilities resulting from the negligence of
Robinson-Humphrey.
As part of its investment banking business, Robinson-Humphrey is
regularly engaged in the valuation of securities in connection with mergers and
acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and
unlisted securities, private placements, and valuations for estate, corporate
and other purposes. ENB's Board of Directors decided to retain
Robinson-Humphrey based on its experience as a financial advisor in mergers and
acquisitions of financial institutions, particularly transactions in the
Southeastern region of the United States, and its knowledge of financial
institutions and ENB in particular.
TERMS OF THE MERGER
At the Effective Time of the Merger, Interim will merge with and into
ENB with ENB surviving the Merger as the Resulting Bank and operating after the
Effective Time of the Merger under the name Union Planters Bank of Florida,
N.A. In this manner ENB and its five branches would be acquired by UPC. In
the Merger, each share of ENB Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger, other than shares with respect to which
Dissenters' Rights shall have been perfected as described above, will be
converted exclusively into the right of the ENB Record Holder to receive the
Consideration provided for in the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger
Agreement as described in the following paragraph.
The method of determining the amount of Consideration to be delivered
to the ENB Record Holders is stipulated in Section 3.1(e) of the Reorganization
Agreement. Under Section 3.1(e), the ENB Record Holders would receive for each
of their shares of ENB Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger: (i) cash in the amount of $9.86 (the "Cash
Payment"); (ii) .6958
27
<PAGE> 44
of one share of Series E Preferred Stock; and (iii) the "UPC Negotiable Notes
issued in three series, in aggregate principal amount equal to $31.80 and
bearing interest at eight (8%) percent per annum; provided, however, that any
ENB Record Holder who would otherwise be entitled to receive less than 100 full
shares of Series E Preferred Stock or a UPC Negotiable Note of any series in an
aggregate principal amount of less than $100,000 would receive in lieu thereof,
respectively, cash in an amount equal to the "Highest Trade Price" of the
Series E Preferred Stock through the facilities of the NASDAQ/NMS on the
Effective Date of the Merger (or if the Series E Preferred Stock should not
trade on that date, on the next succeeding date on which it trades) (the
"Highest Trade Price") for each whole share of Series E Preferred Stock to
which such ENB Record Holder would otherwise be entitled, and cash in an amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of such UPC Negotiable Notes to which
such Record Holder would otherwise be entitled.
Thus, in addition to his or her $9.86 per share Cash Payment, an ENB
Record Holder who shall hold less than 6,290 shares of ENB Common Stock would
receive in lieu of any Consideration in the form of UPC Negotiable Notes a cash
payment equal to $31.80 multiplied by the number of shares of ENB Common Stock
held and an ENB Record Holder who shall hold less than 144 shares of ENB Common
Stock would receive in lieu of any Consideration in the form of Series E
Preferred Stock a cash payment equal to the Highest Trade Price on the
Effective Date of the Merger multiplied by the product of the number of whole
and fractional shares of ENB Common Stock held multiplied by .6958. The
Highest Trade Price of the Series E Preferred Stock on August 22, 1995 which
was the last practicable date prior to the mailing of this Prospectus was
$35.38. Accordingly, subject to normal market fluctuations, an ENB Record
Holder who shall hold less than 144 shares of ENB Common Stock would receive in
the aggregate approximately $66.27 in exchange for each share of ENB Common
Stock held.
The number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be received as
part of the Consideration for each share of ENB Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger is based upon an exchange
ratio (the "Preferred Stock Exchange Ratio") of .6958 of one share of Series E
Preferred Stock for each share of ENB Common Stock. The Preferred Stock
Exchange Ratio was determined as of the date of the Reorganization Agreement
based on the "Current Market Price Per Share" of the Series E Preferred Stock
which is defined as the average closing price per share of the "last" real time
trades (i.e., the closing price) of the UPC Series E Preferred Stock quoted on
the NASDAQ/NMS (as published in the Wall Street Journal Eastern Edition) for
each of the ten (10) NASDAQ/NMS general market trading days next preceding the
date of the Reorganization Agreement (April 25, 1995) on which the NASDAQ/NMS
was open for business. At the time the Reorganization Agreement was
negotiated, the value of the Series E Preferred Stock to be received by the ENB
Record Holders was approximately $21.83 per share of ENB common stock based on
an exchange ratio of .6958 of one share of Series E Preferred Stock for each
share of ENB Common Stock and a current market price of $31.38 per share for
the Series E Preferred Stock. The last trade of the Series E Preferred Stock
on August 22 1995, was $35.38 per share. If the Series E Preferred Stock
continues to trade in excess of the Current Market Price Per Share, the value
of the Series E Preferred Stock to be received by the ENB Record Holders should
exceed the $21.83 per share value determined as of the date of the
Reorganization Agreement.
The ENB Record Holders entitled to receive UPC Negotiable Notes would
receive UPC Negotiable Notes (in three series) each bearing interest at eight
(8%) percent per annum. The aggregate principal amount, maturity dates and
interest payment dates of the UPC Negotiable Notes of each of the three series
are as follows:
28
<PAGE> 45
(i) the UPC Negotiable Notes, Series I (the "Series I Notes") shall be
issued in principal amount equal to $15.90 per share of ENB Common
Stock and shall be payable as to principal on the one-year anniversary
of the Effective Date of the Merger and as to interest quarterly
beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter subsequent to the
quarter in which the Effective Date of the Merger shall occur; (ii)
the UPC Negotiable Notes, Series II (the "Series II Notes") shall be
issued in principal amount equal to $12.61 per share of ENB Common
Stock and shall be payable as to principal on March 31, 1997 and as to
interest quarterly beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter
subsequent to the quarter in which the Effective Date of the Merger
shall occur; and (iii) the UPC Negotiable Notes, Series III (the
"Series III Notes") shall be issued in principal amount equal to $3.29
per share of ENB Common Stock and shall be payable (subject to actual
receipt by ENB or the Resulting Bank of moneys equal to or in excess
of amounts due on the Series III Notes in repayment of certain loans
made by ENB to the Scheduled Borrower which are currently in default
and which are more particularly described in Section 3.1(e)(c)(iii) of
the Reorganization Agreement) as to principal on September 30, 1997
and as to interest quarterly beginning on the first day of the
calendar quarter subsequent to the quarter in which the Effective Date
of the Merger shall occur.
No fractional shares of Series E Preferred Stock will be issued in the
transaction and if, after aggregation of all shares (and fractional shares) of
Series E Preferred Stock to which an ENB Record Holder shall be entitled, an
ENB Record Holder should be entitled to any fraction of a share of Series E
Preferred Stock, cash will be paid by UPC in lieu of such remaining fractional
share on the assumption that the Series E Preferred Stock has a value per share
equal to the Highest Trade Price on the Effective Date of the Merger.
Holders of ENB Common Stock on the Record Date for the Special Meeting
will have the right to dissent from the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger
Agreement and receive a cash payment equal to the appraised value of their
shares, all in conformity with Title 12, Section 215 of the Statute. See "THE
SPECIAL MEETING--Shareholders' Dissenters' Rights."
EFFECTIVE DATE AND EFFECTIVE TIME OF THE MERGER
As soon as practicable after all conditions precedent contained in the
Reorganization Agreement have been satisfied or lawfully waived, including
receipt of all regulatory approvals and expiration of all statutory waiting
periods, or on such later date as may be agreed to by UPC and ENB, the parties
will request issuance of the Official Certification of Merger from the
Comptroller. The Effective Time of the Merger will be the time specified in
the Certification issued by the Comptroller. The Effective Date of the Merger
will be the day on which the Effective Time of the Merger occurs. It is
presently expected that request will be made to the Comptroller that the
Effective Time of the Merger occur on or about December 31, 1995. There can be
no assurance that such expectation will be achieved.
SURRENDER OF CERTIFICATES
As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time of the Merger, the
Corporate Trust Department of Union Planters National Bank, acting in the
capacity of exchange agent for the parties (the "Exchange Agent"), will mail to
each ENB Record Holder a form letter of transmittal, together with instructions
and a return mailing envelope (collectively, the "Exchange Materials") to
facilitate the exchange of such holder's certificates formerly representing
shares of ENB Common Stock for the Consideration.
29
<PAGE> 46
HOLDERS OF ENB COMMON STOCK WHO DO NOT INTEND TO EXERCISE THEIR
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS SHOULD NOT SEND IN THEIR CERTIFICATES UNTIL THEY RECEIVE THE
EXCHANGE MATERIALS FROM THE EXCHANGE AGENT.
Upon receipt of the Exchange Materials, ENB Record Holders should
complete the letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions provided
and deliver the letter of transmittal, together with all stock certificates
formerly representing shares of ENB Common Stock to the Exchange Agent in the
return envelope provided. Provided the Exchange Agent shall have received the
certificates and related documentation completed in proper form, as soon as
practicable after the Effective Time of the Merger UPC will issue, and the
Exchange Agent will mail, to the ENB Record Holder a certificate representing
the whole number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the UPC Negotiable
Notes of each series in aggregate principal amount to which such holder is
entitled pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement and a check in the amount of
any cash consideration (including any cash consideration which may be payable
with respect to a remaining fractional share of Series E Preferred Stock). No
consideration will be delivered to an ENB Record Holder unless and until such
holder shall have properly delivered to the Exchange Agent certificates
formerly representing the shares of ENB Common Stock owned by him and in
respect of which he claims payment is due, or such documentation, if
applicable, and security in respect of lost or stolen certificates as may be
required by the Reorganization Agreement or the Exchange Materials.
No dividend or other distribution with respect to the Series E
Preferred Stock or interest with respect to a UPC Negotiable Note will be paid
or delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered ENB certificate(s) until the
holder surrenders such certificate(s) in accordance with the Exchange
Materials, at which time the holder will be entitled to receive all previously
withheld interest, dividends and distributions, without interest thereon.
After the Effective Time of the Merger, there will be no further
transfers on ENB's stock transfer books of those shares of ENB Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger.
If certificates representing shares of ENB Common Stock should be presented for
transfer after the Effective Time of the Merger, they will be returned to the
presenter together with a form of letter of transmittal and exchange
instructions.
Neither UPC, ENB, the Exchange Agent, nor any other person shall be
liable to any former holder of ENB Common Stock for any amount properly
delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable unclaimed property,
escheat or similar laws.
If a certificate formerly representing ENB Common Stock shall have
been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will deliver the
consideration properly payable with respect to the shares formerly represented
by such certificate in accordance with the Reorganization Agreement upon
receipt of appropriate evidence as to such loss, theft or destruction;
appropriate evidence as to ownership of such certificate by the claimant; and a
lost instrument bond in form satisfactory to UPC, the Resulting Bank and the
Exchange Agent as required by the Exchange Materials.

financial point of view.
No assurance can be provided as to when, if ever, the regulatory
consents and approvals necessary to consummate the Merger will be obtained (or,
if so obtained, that such consents and approvals will not contain conditions or
requirements which would materially reduce the benefits of, and result in
abandonment of the Merger) or whether all of the other conditions precedent to
the Merger will be satisfied or waived by the party lawfully permitted to do
so.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
The Merger and its related transactions are subject to prior approval
by (i) the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal
Reserve") under Section 3(a) of the Bank Holding Company Act; (ii) the Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "Comptroller") and (iii) the Department
of Banking and Finance of the State of Florida under Chapter 655 of the Florida
Statutes. The Bank Holding Company Act, as amended, requires that the Federal
Reserve take into consideration, among other factors, the financial and
managerial resources and future prospects of the institutions and the
convenience and needs of the communities to be served. Applications for such
approvals have not yet been filed and are expected to be filed promptly
following the date of the Special Meeting. The Bank Holding Company Act
prohibits the Federal Reserve from approving the Merger if it would result in a
monopoly or be in furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or
to attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United
States, or if its effect in any section of the country may be substantially to
lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly, or if it would in any other
manner be a restraint of trade, unless the Comptroller should find that the
anticompetitive effects of the Merger are clearly outweighed by the public
interest and the probable effect of the transaction in meeting the convenience
and needs of the communities to be served. The Federal Reserve also has the
authority to deny an application if it should conclude that the combined
organization would have an inadequate capital position or if the acquiring
organization does not meet the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act
of 1977, as amended.
Under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Merger may not be consummated
earlier than the 15th day following the date of approval by the Federal
Reserve, during which period the United States Department of Justice is
afforded an opportunity to challenge the Merger on antitrust grounds. The
commencement of an antitrust action would stay the effectiveness of the Federal
Reserve's approval unless a court should specifically order otherwise. As of
the date of this Prospectus, applications have not been filed with any of the
regulatory authorities. There can be no assurance that the Department of
Justice will not challenge the Merger, or if such challenge is made, as to the
result thereof.

<PAGE> 49
The Merger may not lawfully proceed in the absence of the requisite
regulatory approvals. See "THE MERGER-- Conditions to Consummation of the
Merger" and "--Waiver and Amendment; Termination."
CONDUCT OF BUSINESS PENDING THE MERGER
The Reorganization Agreement contains certain restrictions upon the
conduct of ENB's business pending consummation of the Merger. In particular,
the Reorganization Agreement provides that, except as otherwise provided in the
Reorganization Agreement and/or with the written consent of UPC, ENB may not,
among other things; (i) amend its articles of association or bylaws; (ii)
permit any lien or security interest to exist in respect to any share of stock
held by ENB; (iii) repurchase any of its capital stock, split or otherwise
subdivide its capital stock, recapitalize in any way or declare a stock
dividend in respect to the ENB Common Stock; (iv) issue or sell any ENB Common
Stock or sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial part of ENB's assets or
earning power; (v) dispose of, discontinue or acquire any material assets or
earning power other than in the ordinary course of business; (vi) incur any
additional debt in excess of $50,000 except in the ordinary course of business;
(vii) increase compensation, pay bonuses or enter into severance arrangements
except in accordance with past practices; (viii) amend any existing employment
contract with any person having a salary in excess of $30,000 per year or enter
into any new employment contract providing for an annual salary exceeding
$30,000 per year unless ENB or its subsidiaries may terminate same at will
without liability, except for past services rendered by the employee; (ix)
adopt any new, or make any change in or termination of any existing, benefit
plan; (x) enter into any new lease agreement or service contract; (xi) make any
capital expenditures in excess of $25,000 except in the ordinary course of
business; (xii) extend credit (or commit to extend credit) to any officer,
director or holder of 2% or more of ENB Common Stock if such extension of
credit would exceed 2% of the capital of ENB or amend the terms of any such
credit; or (xiii) acquire direct or indirect control over any person or entity
except in the ordinary course of business or in connection with internal
reorganizations and acquisitions in ENB's fiduciary capacity. Moreover, ENB
shall, among other things, operate in the usual, regular and ordinary course,
preserve its organization and assets and maintain its rights and franchises,
use its best efforts to retain its customer base and assist UPC in procuring
all applicable regulatory approvals.
PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
ENB is prohibited under Section 7.3(c) of the Reorganization Agreement
from paying dividends or making any other type of distribution with respect to
the ENB Common Stock, except that ENB is permitted to declare and pay a one-
time cash dividend at Closing, the amount of which shall be equal to any
interest foregone on the Cash Payment and the UPC Negotiable Notes at a rate of
8% per annum from September 30, 1995 to the Closing Date.
WAIVER AND AMENDMENT; TERMINATION
Prior to the Effective Date of the Merger, any condition to closing
set forth in the Reorganization Agreement may (to the extent permitted by law)
be waived by the party benefitted by the provision or may be amended or
modified (including the structure of the transaction) by an agreement in
writing approved by the Boards of Directors of UPC and ENB; provided, however,
that no such amendment may be effected after shareholder approval of the
Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement without approval of the ENB
shareholders if the effect of such amendment would be to change the amount or
the type of consideration to be delivered and/or paid in the Merger to the ENB
Record Holders.
33
<PAGE> 50
The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to
the Effective Date of the Merger, either before or after approval by the ENB
shareholders, as follows: (i) by the mutual consent of the parties; (ii) by UPC
if ENB should violate any affirmative or negative covenant in respect to the
operation of its business; (iii) by UPC or ENB if the Closing Date shall not
have, with certain exceptions, occurred by March 31, 1996, unless the failure
should be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate; (iv) by either
party if any governmental or regulatory approval should be denied and not
successfully appealed within certain time limits; (v) by either party if the
other party's conditions shall not have been satisfied in all material respects
or waived as of the Closing Date or if the other party shall have committed a
material breach which shall not have been cured within 30 days after the
breaching party receives notice of such breach; (vi) by either party if there
shall have been a material adverse change in the business, properties,
liabilities, prospects or net worth of the other party; or (vii) by UPC should
ENB enter into any business combination or any letter of intent or agreement
with respect thereto with any other person or if ENB should enter into a formal
capital plan in cooperation with any applicable banking regulator.
In the event of the valid termination of the Reorganization Agreement
by either UPC or ENB, the Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement
shall become void, and there will be no liability on the part of either party
or their officers or directors except for liability for breach of the
Reorganization Agreement or for any misstatement or misrepresentation made
prior to such termination.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH BELOW IS ABBREVIATED IN
NATURE AND IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. FURTHER, THE FEDERAL
INCOME TAX DISCUSSION BELOW DOES NOT ADDRESS THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
MERGER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WITHHOLDING OBLIGATION, UPON ENB
RECORD HOLDERS WHO ARE NOT RESIDENT CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES. THE ENB
RECORD HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS AS TO THE SPECIFIC
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT
OF FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS.
General. Although structured as a merger, the Merger will not qualify
as a tax-free reorganization pursuant to Section 368 of the Code. Rather, for
federal income tax purposes, the Merger will be treated as a taxable stock
purchase by UPC. Accordingly, (i) no gain or loss will be recognized by either
UPC, Interim or ENB as a result of the Merger, and (ii) gain or loss will be
recognized by the ENB Record Holders to the extent that the fair market value
of the Consideration received in exchange for their shares shall exceed their
federal income tax basis thereof.
Receipt of UPC Negotiable Notes. To the extent that UPC Negotiable
Notes are received by ENB Record Holders in exchange for ENB Common Stock, such
UPC Negotiable Notes may qualify for reporting of gain, if any, pursuant to the
installment method of Code Section 453, subject to the limitations imposed by
Sections 453, 453A and 453B and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Additionally, taxpayers who hold installment obligations from all sources,
including UPC Negotiable Notes, in the face amount of $5,000,000 or more may be
subject to an interest charge on Federal income taxes deferred by virtue of the
installment sales rules.
Cash Received by Holders of ENB Common Stock Who Perfect their
Dissents. A shareholder of ENB who shall perfect his or her dissenters' rights
under applicable law and who shall receive a cash payment for the "fair market
value" of his shares of ENB Common Stock will be treated as having received
such payment in redemption of such stock. Such redemption will be subject to
the conditions and limitations of Section 302 of the Code, including the
attribution rules of Section 318. In general, if the shares of ENB Common
Stock are held by the holder as a capital asset at the Effective Time of the
Merger, such holder will recognize capital gain (or loss) measured by the
difference between the amount of cash received by such holder and the basis of
such shares. Each holder of ENB Common Stock who contemplates exercising his
dissenters' rights should consult his own tax advisor as to the possibility
that any payment to him would be treated as dividend income.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The Merger is intended to be accounted for by UPC as a "purchase."

EXPENSES
The Reorganization Agreement provides, in general, that UPC, ENB and
Interim will each pay their own expenses in connection with the Reorganization
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including fees and
expenses of their own independent accountants and counsel.
RESALES OF SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK
The shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the
Reorganization Agreement will be freely transferable under the Securities Act
of 1933 except for shares issued to any ENB executive officer, director or
shareholder who shall be deemed as of the date of the Special Meeting to be an
"affiliate" of ENB and therefore an "underwriter" with respect to the Series E
Preferred Stock received for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act.
Affiliates may not sell their shares of Series E Preferred Stock acquired in
connection with the Merger except pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4) covering such
shares or in compliance with Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act or
another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates of ENB generally
include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or are under
common control with, ENB and include its executive officers, directors, or
holders of ten percent (10%) or more of the ENB Common Stock. UPC will place
restrictive legends on certificates representing Series E Preferred Stock
issued to all persons who are deemed by UPC to be "underwriters" under Rule
145. The form of the restrictive legend is set forth in Section 2.6 of the
Reorganization Agreement (pages 12 and 13 of Appendix B to this Prospectus).
CERTAIN REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
As a bank holding company, UPC is subject to the regulation and
supervision of the Federal Reserve. In addition, as a savings and loan holding
company, UPC is registered with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS").
Thus, UPC is subject to Federal Reserve and OTS regulation, supervision and
reporting requirements. UPC's Banking Subsidiaries which are national banking
associations are subject to supervision and examination by both the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency (the "Comptroller") and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). State-chartered bank subsidiaries of UPC
which are members of the Federal Reserve System are subject to supervision and
examination by both the Federal Reserve and the state banking authorities of
the states in which they are located. State-chartered bank subsidiaries which
are not members of the Federal Reserve System are subject to supervision and
examination by both the FDIC and the state banking authorities of the states in
which they are located. UPC's federally-chartered savings bank subsidiaries
are subject to supervision and examination by the OTS. UPC's Banking
Subsidiaries are subject to various requirements and restrictions, including
requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types
and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged
thereon, and limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the
types of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations
also affect the operations of the Banking Subsidiaries. In addition to the
impact of regulation, the Banking Subsidiaries are also affected significantly
by the actions of the Federal Reserve as it attempts to control the money
supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy. A more
detailed discussion of this subject may be found in Part I, Item 1 of UPC's
Annual Report on Form 10-K dated December 31, 1994, under the caption
GOVERNMENTAL SUPERVISION AND REGULATION OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS (pages 3
through 6) which is hereby incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.
38
<PAGE> 55
As FDIC-insured, national banking associations, ENB and Interim are
subject to the regulation and supervision of both the Comptroller and the FDIC.
Thus both ENB and Interim are subject to regulation similar in scope to that of
UPC's other subsidiaries which are FDIC-insured national banking associations.
Some of the many subjects of governmental regulation are: business
expansion through acquisitions or otherwise, capital adequacy, the requirement
of prompt corrective action under certain circumstances, restriction upon
payments of dividends and making other distributions, support of subsidiary
banks, limitations upon transactions with affiliates, FDIC Deposit Insurance
assessments, standards for safety and soundness, limitations upon acceptance of
brokered deposits, consumer protection, accounting, financial reporting and
similar matters.
In the area of FDIC insurance assessments, Federal regulators have
recently reduced the annual premiums for most of the nation's banks as a result
of having reached required capital levels in its insurance fund. Under the new
premium schedule, the annual premiums range from $.04 to $.31 for every $100 of
deposits as opposed to a range of $.23 to $.31 under the old assessment
schedule. For a detailed description of FDIC insurance assessment
requirements, see Part I, Item 1 of UPC's Annual Report on Form 10-K dated
December 31, 1994 as noted above and UPC's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995. Based on UPC's current
deposit levels, it is estimated that UPC's deposit insurance expense will be
reduced approximately $12 million annually. The change is expected to be
effective during the third quarter and may result in retroactive application to
the second quarter of 1995. As of June 30, 1995, UPC had approximately $6.7
billion of deposits in the Bank Insurance Fund and $1.6 billion of deposits in
the Savings Association Insurance Fund.
DESCRIPTION OF THE UPC COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK
UPC's Charter of Incorporation ("Charter") currently authorizes the
issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $5.00 per
share (the "UPC Common Stock") and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock having
no par value (the "UPC Preferred Stock"). As of July 31, 1995, 40,875,967
shares of UPC Common Stock were issued and outstanding and approximately
782,000 shares were subject to issuance through the exercise of options granted
pursuant to UPC's 1992 and 1983 Stock Option Plans and other employee, officer
and director benefit plans; approximately 969,000 shares were authorized for
issuance pursuant to said plans but not yet subject to option grants or
otherwise issued; and approximately 4,710,292 shares were authorized for
issuance and reserved for conversion of certain outstanding shares of UPC
Preferred Stock. In addition, as of July 31, 1995, 3,540,419 shares of UPC
Preferred Stock of all series were issued and outstanding, consisting of 44,000
shares of UPC's $8.00 Nonredeemable, Cumulative, Convertible Preferred Stock,
Series B (the "Series B Preferred Stock"); and 3,496,419 shares of UPC's 8%
Cumulative, Convertible Preferred Stock, Series E (the "Series E Preferred
Stock"). As of August 22, 1995, none of UPC's 250,000 authorized shares of
Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding nor is management aware of
the existence of circumstances from which it may be inferred that such issuance
is imminent. THE CAPITAL STOCK OF UPC DOES NOT REPRESENT OR CONSTITUTE A
DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE FDIC, THE BANK INSURANCE FUND, THE
SAVINGS ASSOCIATION INSURANCE FUND OR ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.

<PAGE> 56
THE UPC COMMON STOCK
General. Shares of UPC Common Stock may be issued at such time or
times and for such consideration (not less than the par value thereof) as the
UPC Board may deem advisable, subject to such limitations as may be set forth
in the laws of the State of Tennessee or UPC's Charter or Bylaws. Union
Planters National Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UPC, is the Registrar,
Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent for shares of UPC Common Stock and
Preferred Stock. Its street address is Union Planters National Bank, Corporate
Trust Department, 6200 Poplar Avenue, Third Floor, Memphis, Tennessee 38119.
Its mailing address is P.O. Box 387, Memphis, Tennessee 38147.
Dividends. Subject to the preferential dividend rights applicable to
outstanding shares of the UPC Preferred Stock and subject to applicable
requirements, if any, with respect to the setting aside of sums for purchase,
retirement or sinking funds, if any, for all outstanding UPC Preferred Stock,
the holders of the UPC Common Stock are entitled to receive, to the extent
permitted by law, only such dividends as may be declared from time to time by
the UPC Board.
UPC has the right to, and may from time to time, enter into borrowing
arrangements or issue other debt instruments, the provisions of which may
contain restrictions on payment of dividends and other distributions on the UPC
Common Stock and UPC Preferred Stock; however, UPC has no such arrangements in
effect at the date hereof.
Liquidation Rights. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of UPC, after
distribution in full of the preferential amounts required to be distributed to
the holders of UPC Preferred Stock, holders of UPC Common Stock will be
entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of UPC, of whatever kind,
available for distribution to shareholders ratably in proportion to the number
of shares of UPC Common Stock held. The UPC Board may distribute in kind to
the holders of UPC Common Stock such remaining assets of UPC or may sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such remaining assets to
any other person or entity and receive payment therefor in cash, stock or
obligations of such other person or entity, and may sell all or any part of the
consideration so received and distribute any balance thereof in kind to holders
of UPC Common Stock. Neither the merger or consolidation of UPC into or with
any other corporation, nor the merger of any other corporation into UPC, nor
any purchase or redemption of shares of stock of UPC of any class, shall be
deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of UPC for purposes of
this paragraph.
Because UPC is a holding company, its right and the rights of its
creditors and shareholders, including the holders of UPC Preferred Stock and
UPC Common Stock, to participate in the distribution of assets of a subsidiary
on its liquidation or recapitalization may be subject to prior claims of such
subsidiary's creditors except to the extent that UPC itself may be a creditor
having recognized claims against such subsidiary.
THE SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK
General. Pursuant to its Charter, as amended, UPC is authorized to
issue 4,500,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock. 3,496,419 shares of the
Series E Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding on the date hereof.
Shares of Series E Preferred Stock have no par value but have a $25.00 per
share "Stated Value" for purposes of determining the amounts of dividends and
preferential payments in the event of liquidation of UPC. When issued and
delivered to the ENB Record Holders, the shares of Series
40
<PAGE> 57
E Preferred Stock offered hereby will be fully paid and non-assessable. The
Series E Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividends, preferences,
qualifications, limitations, restrictions and the distribution of assets upon
liquidation, on a parity with UPC's outstanding (i) Series B Preferred Stock,
and (ii) Series A Preferred Stock, if and when shares of the same should be
issued. Shares of Series E Preferred Stock have no preemptive rights, no
voting rights (except as may be provided by statute) and are not subject to any
sinking fund or other obligation of UPC to purchase or redeem the Series E
Preferred Stock. Union Planters National Bank (Corporate Trust Department) is
the Registrar, Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent for UPC's Series E
Preferred Stock. The following description of the terms applicable to the
Series E Preferred Stock is subject in its entirety to the provisions of
Article SIXTH of UPC's Restated Charter which specifies in detail the rights of
the holders of UPC's Capital Stock, including the Series E Preferred Stock.
UPC's Restated Charter, as presently in effect, is Exhibit 3 to the Current
Report on Form 8-K of Union Planters Corporation dated August 22, 1995. Said
Exhibit 3 is incorporated by reference as a part of this Prospectus.
Dividends. Holders of shares of the Series E Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive, but only when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors of UPC, out of funds legally available therefor, an annual cash
dividend at a rate of 8% of the $25.00 Stated Value per share, i.e., $2.00 of
dividends per annum payable in four quarterly installments of $.50 per share in
the manner described below.
Dividends on each share of Series E Preferred Stock accrue and are
cumulative from (but not including) the date of its original issuance on the
basis of a quarterly dividend period consisting of three calendar months ending
on the last days of January, April, July and October. Dividends are payable
quarterly on the 15th days of February, May, August and November (each, a
"Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), unless such 15th day is not a day on which
banks in Memphis, Tennessee are required to be open for business, in which case
such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date will be the next business day. Assuming
the Effective Date will be December 1, 1995, the first Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date for the Series E Preferred Stock offered hereby would be February
15, 1996. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or
for any period shorter than a full dividend period, shall be calculated on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. Dividends are payable to holders of record as they appear on the stock
transfer records of UPC on such record dates as may be fixed by the Board of
Directors, not more than 30 days nor less than 10 days preceding the Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date.
For any dividend period, no dividends may be paid or declared and set
apart for payment on any Series E Preferred Stock, or any other series of UPC
Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, unless dividends properly accumulated
in respect to the Series E Preferred Stock and all other series of UPC
Preferred Stock ranking senior to or on a parity therewith for all prior
dividend periods shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment.
In the event that full cumulative dividends on the Series E Preferred
Stock shall not have been paid when due or set apart for payment, then, until
such aggregate deficiency shall have been declared and paid or set apart for
payment, UPC may not (A) declare or pay any dividends or make other
distributions on the UPC Common Stock other than (i) dividends payable in
shares of UPC Common Stock or other stock of UPC ranking junior to the Series E
Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and distributions upon
liquidation, dissolution and winding up of UPC (such other capital stock is
hereinafter referred to as "Junior Stock") or (ii) options, warrants or rights
to subscribe for or purchase shares of UPC Common Stock or Junior Stock or (B)
purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire (i) any share of UPC Common Stock or
Junior Stock (other than with funds previously deposited in trust for the
41
<PAGE> 58
redemption of shares of Junior Stock pursuant to any sinking fund) or (ii) any
other shares of capital stock of UPC ranking on a parity with the Series E
Preferred Stock, except by conversion into or exchange for UPC Common Stock or
Junior Stock.
A holder of shares of Series E Preferred Stock surrendered for
conversion during the period between any dividend payment record date and the
related dividend payment date will receive the dividend payable by UPC on such
shares of Series E Preferred Stock on such date, even though the payment date
for such dividend may be subsequent to the date of conversion.
UPC has the right to, and may from time to time or at any time
hereafter, enter into borrowing arrangements or issue other debt instruments,
the provisions of which may contain restrictions on payment of dividends and
other distributions on the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock of UPC;
however, UPC has no such arrangements in effect at the date hereof.
Liquidation Rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution and
winding up of UPC, whether voluntary or involuntary, the registered holders of
shares of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to
receive out of the assets of UPC, before any distributions shall be made to the
holders of the UPC Common Stock or any other Junior Stock, an amount equal to
the "Liquidation Preference" with respect to such shares of Series E Preferred
Stock. The Liquidation Preference for the Series E Preferred Stock is $25.00
per share, plus an amount equal to all dividends thereon (whether or not
declared) accrued and unpaid through the date of final distribution. After
receipt of the Liquidation Preference, the holders of shares of Series E
Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any
distributions of the assets of UPC. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution
and winding up of UPC, the assets of UPC should be insufficient to make full
payment to the holders of shares of the Series E Preferred Stock and to the
holders of any UPC Preferred Stock ranking as to liquidation, dissolution and
winding up, on a parity with the Series E Preferred Stock, then such assets
will be distributed pro rata among the holders of shares of Series E Preferred
Stock and of any other UPC Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series
E Preferred Stock in proportion to the amounts of their respective Liquidation
Preferences. Neither the consolidation nor the merger of UPC with or into any
other corporation or corporations, nor a reorganization of UPC alone, nor the
sale or transfer by UPC of substantially all of its assets will be deemed to be
a dissolution or liquidation of UPC.
The holders of Series E Preferred Stock will not be entitled to
receive the Liquidation Preference in respect to such shares until the
liquidation preferences on any shares of UPC's capital stock ranking senior to
the Series E Preferred Stock as to the right to receive distributions upon
liquidation, dissolution and winding up shall have been paid, or a sum set
aside therefor sufficient to provide payment in full. No such senior capital
stock of UPC is currently authorized or outstanding and the holders of Series E
Preferred Stock will have certain voting rights with respect to the creation of
any such series or class of senior capital stock of UPC. See "--Voting Rights"
below.
Because UPC is a holding company, its rights and the rights of its
creditors and shareholders, including the holders of the Series E Preferred
Stock, to participate in the distribution of assets of a subsidiary on its
liquidation or recapitalization may be subject to prior claims of such
subsidiary's creditors except to the extent that UPC itself may be a creditor
having recognized claims against such subsidiary.
Optional Redemption. At the option of UPC, and upon the giving of at
least 30 but not more than 60 days' notice, the Series E Preferred Stock may be
redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after
March 31, 1997, for a redemption price per share of $25.00 plus accrued and
42
<PAGE> 59
unpaid dividends to the redemption date. Any such redemption may be effected
only with the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. If fewer than all the
outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, UPC may
select those to be redeemed by lot or pro rata (or by a substantially
equivalent method), as determined by UPC's Board of Directors to be equitable.
Conversion. From and after original issuance but prior to redemption,
the Series E Preferred Stock is convertible at the election of the record
holder into shares of UPC's $5.00 par value Common Stock at a ratio of 1.25
common shares for each share of Series E Preferred Stock. The conversion ratio
will be adjusted upon the occurrence of any (i) dividend in respect to the UPC
Common Stock that is paid in shares of UPC Common Stock; (ii) expansion or
contraction of the number of outstanding shares of UPC Common Stock by means of
any stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction; (iii)
combination or subdivision of shares of Series E Preferred Stock into a smaller
or larger number of shares by means of any stock split, reverse stock split or
other similar transaction having the effect of altering the number of shares of
Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding; or (iv) issuance of rights or
warrants entitling holders of UPC Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase UPC
Common Stock at less than the then current market price. No events requiring
adjustment have occurred. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion
of the Series E Preferred Stock and converting holders will receive cash in
lieu of fractional shares upon conversion.
If UPC should merge into or consolidate with another corporation or
reclassify the UPC Common Stock (other than by stock split, reverse split or
other similar transaction described above), then each share of Series E
Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the stock, securities or other
property that would have been received in such transaction had such share been
converted into UPC's Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such
transaction.
Treasury regulations issued under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, treat as taxable events certain constructive
distributions of stock with respect to stock and convertible securities. An
adjustment in the conversion price of the Series E Preferred Stock to reflect
taxable distributions on Common Stock (but not stock splits or non-taxable
stock dividends) may be treated as a constructive distribution of stock which
would be taxable as a dividend to the extent of the current and accumulated
earnings and profits of UPC. Prospective purchasers are advised to consult
their own tax advisors as to the Federal, state and local tax consequences of
acquiring, holding, converting and disposing of shares of Series E Preferred
Stock and UPC Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof.
Voting Rights. Except as indicated below and except as expressly
required by applicable law, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock are not
entitled to vote. So long as any shares of Series E Preferred Stock remain
outstanding, the consents of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3rds) of the
shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding at the time (voting separately
as a class together with all other series of UPC Preferred Stock ranking on a
parity with the Series E Preferred Stock either as to payment of dividends or
the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up and
upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) given in
person or by proxy, either in writing or at any special or annual meeting
called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate (i)
the authorization, creation or issuance of a new class of capital stock or
series of UPC Preferred Stock having rights, preferences or privileges senior
to the Series E Preferred Stock, or any increase in the number of authorized
shares of any class of capital stock or series of UPC Preferred Stock having
rights, preferences or privileges senior to the Series E Preferred Stock or
(ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or
otherwise, of any of the provisions of UPC's Charter which would materially and
adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series
E Preferred
43
<PAGE> 60
Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the
amount of authorized UPC Common Stock or UPC Preferred Stock or the creation
and issuance of any other class of capital stock or series of UPC Preferred
Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series E
Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution
of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up, shall not be deemed to
materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting
powers.
The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the
time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required
shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall
have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have
been deposited in trust to effect such redemption.
Preemptive Rights. Holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock are
not entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares or other
securities of UPC which may be issued.
Ranking. Series E Preferred Stock ranks on a parity with UPC's Series
B Preferred Stock, and, when and if ever issued, UPC's Series A Preferred
Stock. UPC has redeemed all of its outstanding Series C and Series D Preferred
Stock.
OTHER PREFERRED STOCK OF UPC
Series A Preferred Stock. UPC's Charter provides for the issuance of
up to 250,000 shares (subject to adjustment by action of the UPC Board) of
Series A Preferred Stock under certain circumstances involving a potential
change in control of UPC. None of such shares are outstanding and management
is aware of no facts suggesting that issuance of such shares may be imminent.
The Series A Preferred Stock is described in more detail in UPC's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated January 19, 1989, and filed February 1, 1989
(Commission File No. 0-6919) which is incorporated by reference herein.
Series B Preferred Stock. In November 1989, UPC issued to two
holders, in a private offering incidental to an acquisition, 44,000 shares of
its Series B Preferred Stock all of which are outstanding as of the date
hereof. Such shares bear a dividend rate of $8.00 per share per annum;
dividends are cumulative. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible at the option of the holder into 7.722 shares of UPC Common Stock,
with the maximum number of shares of UPC Common Stock into which such shares
may be converted being 339,768. The Series B Preferred Stock is not subject to
any sinking fund provisions and has no preemptive rights. Such shares provide
for a liquidation preference of $100.00 per share plus unpaid dividends accrued
thereon and are not subject to redemption by UPC. Holders of Series B
Preferred Stock have no voting rights except as required by law and in certain
other limited circumstances.
Series D Preferred Stock. In connection with the July, 1992
acquisition of Southeastern Bancshares, Inc., UPC issued in a private offering
253,655 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. As of July 1, 1995, all holders of
the Series D Preferred Stock had converted their shares to a like number of
shares of UPC Common Stock.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS THAT MAY HAVE AN ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT
Certain provisions of UPC's Charter and Bylaws and certain provisions
of Tennessee law may have an anti-takeover effect in that they could prevent,
discourage or delay a change in control of UPC. The following summary briefly
describes certain of those provisions. The summary is not intended to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to UPC's Charter and
Bylaws and to the Tennessee Code.
Charter and Bylaw Provisions. Pursuant to UPC's Charter, the
directors of UPC are elected for three-year terms of office, and approximately
one-third of the members of the UPC Board are up for election each year. The
Charter also restricts the removal of directors by shareholders.
The Charter requires the affirmative votes of the holders of 66 2/3%
of the outstanding stock for approval of a merger, consolidation or a sale or
lease of all or substantially all of the assets of UPC if the other party to
the transaction is a beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding shares
of UPC. The Charter also requires the affirmative votes of the holders of 66
2/3% of the outstanding stock to amend the Bylaws of UPC and the provisions of
the Charter applicable to UPC's capital stock; to change the number, election
and classification of directors; to give approval of certain transactions as
described above; and to amend certain provisions of the Charter.
Share Purchase Rights Plan. In 1989, the UPC Board adopted a Share
Purchase Rights Plan and distributed a dividend of one Preferred Share Unit
Purchase Right ("Right") for each outstanding share of UPC Common Stock.
Moreover, one Right was required to be, automatically and without further
action by UPC, distributed in respect to each share of UPC Common Stock issued
thereafter. The Rights are generally designed to deter coercive takeover
tactics and to encourage all persons interested in potentially acquiring
control of UPC to treat each shareholder on a fair and equal basis. Each Right
trades in tandem with the share of UPC Common Stock to which it relates until
the occurrence of certain events indicating a potential change in control of
UPC. Upon the occurrence of such an event, the Rights would separate from UPC
Common Stock and each holder of a Right (other than the potential acquirer)
would be entitled to purchase certain equity securities at prices below their
market value. UPC has authorized 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
for issuance under the Share Purchase Rights Plan, but no shares have been
issued as of the date of this Prospectus. Until a Right is exercised, the
holders thereof, as such, will have no rights as shareholders of UPC, thus they
would have no right to vote or to receive dividends on the Series A shares.
Provisions of the Tennessee Code. As a Tennessee corporation, UPC is
or could be subject to various legislative acts set forth in Chapter 35 of
Title 48 of the Tennessee Code, which impose certain restrictions on business
combinations, including, but not limited to, combinations with interested
shareholders similar to those described above.
The Tennessee Business Combination Act (the "Tennessee BCA") generally
prohibits a "business combination" (generally defined to include mergers, share
exchanges, sales and leases of assets, issuances of securities, and similar
transactions) by UPC or a subsidiary with an "Interested Shareholder"
(generally defined as any person or entity which beneficially owns 10% or more
of the voting power of any class or series of UPC's stock then outstanding)
within five years after the person or entity becomes an Interested Shareholder
unless the business combination or the transaction pursuant to which the
Interested Shareholder became such was approved by the UPC Board before the
Interested Shareholder became such, and the business combination satisfies any
other applicable requirements imposed by law or by UPC's
45
<PAGE> 62
Charter or Bylaws. The Tennessee BCA also severely limits the extent to which
UPC or any of its officers or directors could be held liable for resisting any
business combination.
The Tennessee Control Share Acquisition Act (the "Tennessee CSAA")
restricts the voting powers of shares acquired by a party once a specific level
of control is acquired unless certain conditions are met. Specifically, the
Tennessee CSAA provides that "Control Shares" will not have the voting rights
to which they normally would be entitled unless approved by the other
shareholders at an annual or special meeting. "Control shares" are shares
that, in the absence of the Tennessee CSAA, would give the acquirer voting
power within any of the following ranges of all of the voting power of UPC: (i)
one-fifth or more but less than one-third; (ii) one-third or more but less than
a majority; or (iii) a majority or more.
The provisions described above might be deemed to make UPC less
attractive as a candidate for acquisition by another company than would
otherwise be the case in the absence of such provisions. For example, if
another company should seek to acquire a controlling interest of less than 66
2/3% of the outstanding shares of UPC Common Stock, the acquirer would not
thereby obtain the ability to replace a majority of the UPC Board until at
least the second annual meeting of shareholders following the acquisition, and
furthermore the acquirer would not obtain the ability immediately to effect a
merger, consolidation or other similar business combination unless the
described conditions were met. As a result, UPC's shareholders may be deprived
of opportunities to sell some or all of their shares at prices that represent a
premium over prevailing market prices in a takeover context. The provisions
described above also may make it more difficult for UPC's shareholders to
replace the UPC Board or management, even if the holders of a majority of the
UPC Common Stock should believe that such replacement is in the interests of
UPC. As a result, such provisions may tend to perpetuate the incumbent UPC
Board and management.
EFFECT OF MERGER ON RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS
At the Effective Date of the Merger, shareholders of ENB (except for
any ENB shareholder who shall have effectively exercised his or her dissenters'
rights) automatically will become holders of the Series E Preferred Stock, and
their rights as holders of the Series E Preferred Stock will be determined by
the Tennessee Business Corporation Act and by UPC's Charter and Bylaws. The
following is a summary of the material differences in the rights of holders of
UPC and ENB Common Stock.
REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS
ENB Directors may be removed with or without cause by the vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting called for
that purpose.
In contrast, UPC's bylaws provide that directors may be removed with
or without cause by vote of the holders of 66 2/3% or more of the outstanding
shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
REQUIRED SHAREHOLDER VOTES
ENB's Articles of Association ("Charter") and Bylaws contain no
provisions requiring more than a majority vote of all shares entitled to vote
on any particular matter that may be subjected to a shareholder vote unless the
question is one upon which, by express provision of Federal law, a larger or
46
<PAGE> 63
different vote should be required, in which case the express statutory
provision shall govern. The UPC Charter provides that the vote of 66 2/3% or
more of the shares entitled to vote shall be required to approve any merger or
consolidation of UPC with or into any other corporation or the sale, lease,
exchange or other disposition of substantially all of UPC's assets, if on the
date a binding agreement is executed providing for such merger, sale or other
disposition, the corporation, person or entity into which UPC would be merged
or to which its assets would be sold is the beneficial owner of 10% or more of
the outstanding capital stock of UPC.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
ENB's Bylaws provide for only one class of directors, and shareholders
are entitled to elect all of ENB's directors annually. Cumulative voting for
the election of directors is permitted. The number of directors may be fixed
from time to time by a majority of the entire ENB Board, but in no event shall
the number of directors be less than five nor more than twenty-five (25).
In contrast, UPC's bylaws provide for a classified board of directors
consisting of three classes with staggered terms of three years each.
Therefore, UPC shareholders are entitled to elect only one class, i.e.,
approximately one-third of UPC's directors annually. The number of UPC
directors shall be not less than seven (7) nor more than twenty-five (25). To
increase the number of directors, 66 2/3% of the directors then in office must
concur.
METHOD OF CASTING VOTES
Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the holders of Series E
Preferred Stock are generally not entitled to vote other than to authorize the
issuance by UPC of equity securities having rights, preferences or privileges
senior to the Series E Preferred Stock and similar matters. See "The UPC
Series E Preferred Stock-Voting Rights." Except as provided by law or the UPC
Charter, each holder of UPC Common Stock shall have one vote on all matters
voted upon by shareholders in respect of each share of UPC Common Stock held.
Holders of UPC Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights.
Federal law provides that each common shareholder of a bank shall be
entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by him on each matter
submitted at a meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in electing
directors, each shareholder shall have cumulative voting rights, i.e., he or
she shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of shares of
stock held multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, which votes may
be cast for one candidate or distributed among as many candidates and in such
numbers as he or she shall see fit. Cumulative voting rights are granted by
Federal law, since the ENB Charter and Bylaws do not prohibit it, however
cumulative voting is of little practical value to the minority shareholders of
ENB due to the ownership of 94.768% of the outstanding shares by the ENB
Revocable Trust.
Reservation of Shares. Such number of shares of UPC Common Stock as
may from time to time be required for such purpose shall be reserved for
issuance (i) upon conversion of any shares of UPC Preferred Stock or any other
obligation of UPC convertible into shares of UPC Common Stock which shall be at
the time outstanding, and (ii) upon the exercise of any outstanding options or
warrants to purchase shares of UPC Common Stock.

EASTERN NATIONAL BANK MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and tabular data analyze major factors and trends
regarding the consolidated financial condition of Eastern National Bank ("ENB")
and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and June 30, 1995 and 1994, and
the consolidated results of operations of ENB and for each of the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
1994. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of December 31, 1994
and 1993 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994
and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of
June 30, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 as presented
in Appendix A of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
OVERVIEW
For a summary of selected consolidated financial data as of and for the
years ended December 31, 1990 through 1994, and for the six month periods ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994 see page 12 of this Prospectus. Since December 31,
1990, total assets have grown from $133 million to $266 million at June 30,
1995.
ENB's net income for the year ended December 31, 1993 was $1,635,000
representing the highest level of earnings for the five-year period ended
December 31, 1994, and net income of $550,000 for the year ended December 31,
1991, which represents the lowest earnings for the same five year period.
Management expects modest growth to continue in both assets and income;
however, such growth is dependent upon the economics of the markets served by
Eastern National Bank, its relative competitiveness in its local market and
other factors which are discussed below. Eastern National Bank is
headquartered in Miami, Florida.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Net Income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $1.2
million, an increase of $257,000 over 1994 net income of $898,000 for the
comparable period. Income per share was $2.54 in 1995 and $1.97 in 1994. A
more detailed analysis of the components of net income and the changes in such
components is included under the appropriate captions below.
The return on average assets for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was
.92% compared to .71% for 1994. The return on average shareholders' equity for
1995 was 11.44% compared to 9.82% for the six months ended June 30, 1995. ENB
has neither declared nor paid dividends to common shareholders for the six
month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $6.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 compared to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1994. The fluctuation in net interest income has arisen from a combination of
increasing yields and rates combined with overall increases in volumes on
interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The increase in yields and volumes on
interest-bearing assets have increased at a greater pace than the rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities.
51
<PAGE> 68
Provision for Loan Losses. ENB's provisions for loan losses for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 amounted to $460,000 and $375,000,
respectively. ENB effected recoveries of $119,000 and $50,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. For the six month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, gross charge-offs were $568,000 and $445,000,
respectively.
The level of nonperforming assets has decreased over the last year and
management expects continued decrease due to improvements in the loan
portfolio. The loan-to-deposit ratio increased from 67.61% at June 30, 1994 to
70.02% in 1995. Management expects future loan demand to remain fairly
constant at current levels. Future provisions for loan losses are dependent
upon various factors, including the economy, loan growth and composition,
levels of nonperforming assets and loan loss experience. The amounts of
nonperforming loans represent risks in the loan portfolio; however, a major
portion of such loans is collateralized to various degrees and should not be
interpreted as losses.
Other Income. Other income is primarily related to service charges on deposits
and other fees for services as well as rental income and net investment
securities gains and losses. Total other income for the six months ended June
30, 1995 was $1.4 million, a $131,000 increase from the $1.3 million reported
for 1994.
Other Expense. Total other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1995
were $5.2 million or $432,000 more than the $4.7 million reported for 1994.
Salaries, wages and benefits totaled $2.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 compared to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994.
The $400,000 increase was due to an increase in management salaries and the
rate for accrual of bonuses. Management does not project any significant
changes in the amount of these expenses.
Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $821,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 compared to $835,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
Management does not expect any significant changes in the amount of such
expenses based on planned capital expenditures.
Management continues to monitor the level of noninterest expenses to
identify the possibility of cost reductions where applicable; however, no
significant reductions are expected.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense totaled $761,000 and $635,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These amounts represent
effective tax rates of 40% and 41% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Management expects that future effective tax rates will
remain at levels commensurate with that of 1995.
FINANCIAL CONDITION - JUNE 30, 1995
Total assets had increased at June 30, 1995 to $266.3 million as compared to
$242.2 million at December 31, 1994. This increase was funded by an increase
in deposits of $16 million to $235 million at June 30, 1995 as compared to $219
million at December 31, 1994.
Loans. Total loans, net of unearned income, at June 30, 1995 were $163.0
million, compared to $139.3 million at December 31, 1994. Loans increased by
$23.7 million. This increase is attributable to more loans to foreign banks to
provide export financing.
Investment Securities. Investment securities totaled $58.4 million at June 30,
1995, compared to $62.3 million at December 31, 1994. Investments in
securities are generally made as an alternative deployment
52
<PAGE> 69
of available funds. Accordingly, the level of investment securities in the
future and their classification as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity will
depend on various factors, including loan demand and management's ability to
attract loans and deposits.
Money Market Assets. Federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other
financial institutions totaled $17.8 million at June 30, 1995, compared to
$14.9 million at December 31, 1994, an increase of approximately $2.9 million.
The increase reflects the reinvestment of these funds from governmental
securities.
Foreclosed Assets. Foreclosed assets were $1,050,000 and $335,000 at June 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
Deposits. Customer deposits totaled $235.1 million as of June 30, 1995, a
$16.5 million increase over total deposits of $218.6 million as of December 31,
1994. The increase was primarily due to more competitive pricing by ENB.
Included in deposits are $45.2 million of time deposits greater than or equal
to $100,000 at June 30, 1995. At June 30, 1995, ENB's loan to deposit ratio
was 70.02%, compared to 63.73% at December 31, 1994.
Capital. Total shareholders' equity as of June 30, 1995 was $20.6 million,
compared to $19.3 million at December 31, 1994. Net income for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 was $1,155,000. Capital was also increased by a $131,000
change in the valuation allowance for investment securities classified as
available for sale.
At June 30, 1995, Eastern National Bank Tier 1 and Total Capital to
risk-weighted assets ratios were 11.49% and 11.68%, respectively, compared to
11.52% and 12.49%, respectively, at year end 1994. The regulatory agencies
required "well-capitalized" institutions to have Tier 1 and Total Capital
ratios of 5% and 10%, respectively. In addition to the risk-based capital
requirements, the regulatory agencies have established leverage capital
requirements. This ratio is computed by dividing Tier 1 capital by unadjusted
(not risk-weighted) quarterly average total assets. ENB's leverage ratio at
June 30, 1995 was 8.07% compared to 7.55% at year end 1994. The regulatory
guideline is 5% for "well-capitalized" institutions.
Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management. ENB is restricted under banking
regulations as to the amount of dividends that may be paid to shareholders.
Although it could have done so, ENB elected not to pay dividends in 1995.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, ENB generated cash flows
from operating activities of $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
Management expects future operating cash flows to be sufficient in amount
necessary to enable ENB to meet its obligations.
Sources and Use of Funds. ENB has a variety of sources of funds
available, but its primary source is the taking of deposits from customers,
both individual and business, within its market area. The net increase in
deposits was $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Management
believes that the rates offered for deposits are competitive with other
financial institutions in the ENB market area. ENB does not gather deposits
through any brokered means. ENB also derives funds from maturities and sales
of investment securities, which totaled $14.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1995.
ENB's primary use of funds is the making of loans to customers. The loan
to deposit ratio of 70.02% at June 30, 1995 represented a 9.9% increase in the
loan to deposit ratio of 63.73% at December 31, 1994. The net increase in
loans for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $25.0 million. A secondary
use
53
<PAGE> 70
of funds is the purchasing of debt securities for investment purposes. For the
six months ended June 30, 1995, investment purchases totaled $10.4 million.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
Net Income. Net income for 1994 was $1,631,000, a decrease of $4,000 over 1993
net income of $1,635,000. Income per share was $3.58 in 1994 and 1993. A more
detailed analysis of the components of net income and the changes in such
components is included under the appropriate captions below.
The return on average assets for the year ended December 31, 1994 was .65%
compared to .71% for 1993. The return on average shareholders' equity for 1994
was 8.74% compared to 9.53% for the year ended December 31, 1993. ENB had
neither declared nor paid dividends to common shareholders for the year ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income, the major component of ENB's income,
is the amount by which interest and fees generated by earning assets exceeds
the total interest cost of the funds used to carry them. Table 2 - Average
Balance Sheet and Interest Yields/Rates provides an analysis of the net
interest income for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.
Net interest income was $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1994
compared to $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. The fluctuation
in net interest income has arisen from a combination of increasing yields and
rates combined with overall increases in volumes on interest-bearing assets and
liabilities. The increases in yields and volumes on interest-bearing assets
have increased at a greater pace than the rates paid on interest-bearing
liabilities.
Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses has been, in the
opinion of management, maintained at a level sufficient to provide for losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of provisions for the loan losses is
based on past loan experience, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, as
well as current economic conditions. ENB's provisions for loan losses for
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 amounted to $750,000 and $825,000,
respectively. ENB effected recoveries of $82,000 and $126,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. For the years ended December
31, 1994 and 1993 gross charge-offs were $1,027,000 and $979,000, respectively.
Table 7, which follows this discussion, presents an analysis of the
Allowance for Loan Losses for the years ended December 31, 1990 through 1994
while Table 6 presents analysis of the Nonperforming Assets for the same
period. The level of nonperforming assets has decreased over the last year and
management expects continued decrease due to improvements in the loan
portfolio. The loan-to-deposit ratio decreased from 80.63% in 1990 to 63.73%
in 1994 as the demand for quality loans decreased. Management expects future
loan demand to remain fairly constant at current levels. Future provisions for
loan losses are dependent upon various factors, including the economy, loan
growth and composition, levels of nonperforming assets and loan loss
experience. The amounts of nonperforming loans represent risks in the loan
portfolio; however, a major portion of such loans is collateralized to various
degrees and should not be interpreted as losses.
Other Income. Other income is primarily attributable to service charges on
deposits and other fees for services as well as rental income and net
investment securities gains and losses. Total other income for 1994 was $3.3
million, a $.7 million increase from the $2.6 million reported for 1993. The
increase is primarily attributed to an increase in rental income in 1994 in
connection with ENB's purchase of its corporate headquarters in October, 1993.
Other changes in other income from 1993 to 1994 were not attributable to any
significant individual items.
54
<PAGE> 71
Management continues to seek new sources of other income; however, no
significant growth or the maintenance of current levels of other income can be
assured.
Other Expense. Total other expenses for 1994 were $10.7 million or $1.8
million more than the $8.9 million reported for 1993.
Salaries, wages and benefits totaled $5.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994 compared to $4.3 million for the year ended December 31,
1993. Management does not project any significant changes in the amount of
these expenses.
Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $2.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994 compared to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31,
1993. The increase is primarily attributed to ENB's purchase of its corporate
headquarters in October, 1993 which resulted in a $700,000 increase in
occupancy expenses. Occupancy expense also increased by $200,000 reflecting
higher depreciation due to the purchase of a computer for in-house processing.
Other operating expense remained fairly level for the last two years.
Such expenses totaled $3.2 million for 1994 compared to $3.1 million for 1993.
Management does not project any significant changes in the amount of these
expenses. Management continues to monitor the level of noninterest expenses to
identify the possibility of cost reductions where applicable; however, no
significant reductions are expected.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense totaled $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. These amounts represent
effective tax rates of 40% and 38% for the years ended December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively. Management expects that future effective tax rates will
remain at levels commensurate with that of 1994.
FINANCIAL CONDITION - December 31, 1994
Total assets had increased at December 31, 1994 to $242.2 million as
compared to $240.2 million at December 31, 1993. This increase was funded by
an increase in deposits of $6 million to $219 million at December 31, 1994 as
compared to $213 million at December 31, 1993.
Loans. Total loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 1994 were $139.3
million, compared to $155.8 million at December 31, 1993. Loans decreased by
$16.5 million. This decrease is attributable to a $16 million decline in
commercial loans due to the Venezuelan liquidity situation and the lack of new
business from that market coupled with weak domestic loan demand.
Table 6 - Nonperforming Assets sets forth information on the nonperforming
loans within the loan portfolio for the five years from December 31, 1990
through 1994. Although the amounts shown represent risks in the loan
portfolio, the major portion of the loans are collateralized to various degrees
and should not be interpreted as losses.
All potential problem loans have been disclosed in Table 6. Potential
problem loans are those loans about which management has obtained information
of possible credit problems of the borrower, resulting in serious doubts as to
the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan repayment terms.
Allowance for Loan Losses. In determining the amount of the provision for loan
losses and the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers
past loan charge-offs, the level of past due and nonaccrual loans, the size and
mix of the portfolio, loan-growth trends, adverse classifications at recent
55
<PAGE> 72
regulatory examinations, general economic conditions in the market area, and a
review of individual loans to identify potential credit problems. The
allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate by
management to provide for potential losses in the existing loan portfolio. In
evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, management makes certain estimates
and assumptions which are susceptible to change in the near term. While
management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based upon changes in economic
conditions. Management believes that the level of the allowance for loan
losses is adequate in relation to the size, mix and quality of the loan
portfolio at December 31, 1994. Table 7 - Allowance for Loan Losses sets forth
an analysis of loan loss experience for the five years from 1990 through 1994.
Table 8 - Allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses sets forth the
breakdown of the allowance for loan losses by loan category for the five years
from December 31, 1990 through 1994. Management believes that the allowance
can be allocated by category only on an estimated basis. The allocation of the
allowance to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses and
does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category.
Investment Securities. Investment securities totaled $62.3 million at December
31, 1994, compared to $35.1 million at December 31, 1993. The increase of
$27.2 million is attributable to lower than expected commercial loan demand.
Investments in securities are generally made as an alternative deployment of
available funds. Accordingly, the level of investment securities in the future
and their classification as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity will depend
on various factors, including loan demand and management's ability to attract
loans and deposits.
As of December 31, 1994, the amortized cost of investment securities
(including securities classified as available for sale) was less than the
market value by $3.2 million, or 5.2%. Table 4 - Investment Securities
Portfolio Maturities and Yields provides an analysis of the maturities and
yields of the investment portfolio as of December 31, 1994.
Money Market Assets. Federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other
financial institutions totaled $14.9 million at December 31, 1994, compared to
$23.5 million at December 31, 1993, a decrease of approximately $8.6 million.
The decrease reflects the reinvestment of these funds in government securities.
Foreclosed Assets. Foreclosed assets were $335,000 at December 31, 1994 and
1993.
Deposits. Average balances and average rates paid on deposits are reflected in
Table 2 - Average Balance Sheet and Interest Yield/Rates.
Customer deposits totaled $218.6 million as of December 31, 1994, a $5.7
million increase over total deposits of $212.9 million as of December 31, 1993.
The increase was primarily due to the introduction of a new Savings Plus
product. This product paid a slightly higher rate for balances over $10,000.
Table 10 - Average Deposits shows the increase.
Included in deposits are $34.3 million and $39.5 million of time deposits
greater than or equal to $100,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
At December 31, 1994, ENB's loan to deposit ratio was 63.73%, compared to
73.18% at December 31, 1993.
56
<PAGE> 73
Capital. Total shareholders' equity as of December 31, 1994 was $19.3 million,
compared to $17.9 million at December 31, 1993. Net income for the year ended
December 31, 1994 was $1,631,000 which is offset by a valuation allowance of
$165,000 at December 31, 1994 for investment securities classified as available
for sale.
The key to continued growth and profitability of ENB is to maintain
adequate levels of capital. The capital adequacy of a bank is determined based
upon the level of capital as well as asset quality, liquidity, earnings
history, and economic conditions. Management's goal is to maintain its bank in
the "well-capitalized" category for regulatory capital. At December 31, 1994,
Eastern National Bank was, and now is, in this category.
The regulatory capital guidelines divide capital into two tiers, Tier 1
capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital of ENB consists of shareholders'
equity excluding goodwill and the unrealized loss on available-for-sale
investment securities. Tier 2 capital includes the allowance for loan losses
with certain limitations. In determining the risk- based capital requirements,
assets are assigned risk weights of zero to 100 percent, depending upon the
regulatory assigned levels of credit risk associated with such assets.
Off-balance-sheet items are included in the calculation of risk-adjusted assets
through conversion factors established by regulatory agencies.
At December 31, 1994, Eastern National Bank Tier 1 and Total capital to
risk-weighted assets ratios were 11.52% and 12.49%, respectively, compared to
9.82% and 10.83%, respectively at year end 1993. The regulatory agencies
require "well-capitalized" institutions to have Tier 1 and Total capital ratios
of 6% and 10% respectively.
In addition to the risk-based capital requirements, the regulatory
agencies have established leverage capital requirements. This ratio is
computed by dividing Tier 1 capital by unadjusted (not risk-weighted) quarterly
average total assets. Eastern National Bank's leverage ratio at December 31,
1994 was 7.66% compared to 7.58% at year end 1993. The regulatory guideline is
5% for "well-capitalized" institutions.
Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management. ENB views liquidity and
asset/liability management as the ability to assure that funds will be
available to support bank requirements, that is, the ability to allow
depositors ready access to their monies and credit customers available funds to
meet their credit needs. It is also the process by which ENB monitors and
attempts to control the mix and maturities of its assets and liabilities in
order to maximize net interest income. Management maintains balances of
federal funds sold, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions
and available-for-sale investment securities in amounts it believes necessary
to meet daily cash needs. With the available-for-sale investment securities
portfolio, management can, in its discretion, manage the liquidity and interest
rate risk of the Bank. Management does not foresee any particular matters
which might immediately threaten its ability to remain liquid.
ENB is restricted under banking regulations as to the amount of dividends
that may be paid to shareholders. Although it could have done so, ENB elected
not to pay dividends in 1994 and 1993.
For the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, ENB generated cash flows
from operating activities of $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Management expects future operating cash flows to be sufficient in amount
necessary to enable ENB to meet its obligations.
Sources and Uses of Funds. ENB has a variety of sources of funds available,
but its primary source is the taking of deposits from customers, both
individual and business, within its market area. ENB's deposit acquisition
strategy is to rely on a core deposit base of demand deposits as well as
savings and time
57
<PAGE> 74
deposits under $100,000. Next, ENB utilizes time deposits $100,000 and over
for additional sources of funds. At December 31, 1994, the percentage of time
deposits $100,000 and over to total deposits was 15.7% compared to 18.5% at
December 31, 1993. The net increase in deposits was $5.7 million in 1994 and
$7.7 million in 1993. Management believes that the rates offered for deposits
are competitive with other financial institutions in the ENB market area. ENB
does not gather deposits through any brokered means.
ENB also derives funds from maturities of investment securities, which
totaled $28.7 million and $27.0 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
ENB's primary use of funds is the making of loans to customers. The loan
to deposit ratio of 63.73% at December 31, 1994 represented a 9.5% decrease in
the loan to deposit ratio of 73.18% at December 31, 1993. ENB's Selected
Consolidated Financial Data on page 12 indicates that the relative overall size
of its loan portfolio has decreased as evidenced by the trend of decline in the
loan to deposit ratio. ENB's loan portfolio is comprised of loans to
individuals and businesses secured by various types of collateral and in
certain circumstances the loans are extended on an unsecured basis. The
composition of the loan portfolio is presented in Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, which are
annexed to the Prospectus as Appendix A.
A secondary use of funds is the purchasing of debt securities for
investment purposes. During 1994, the investment portfolio averaged 28% of
total earning assets compared to 15% in 1993. Table 12 presents the
composition of the investment securities portfolio at December 31, 1994 and
includes the average yields and maturities of the portfolio. The portfolio is
comprised of U.S. Treasury obligations, obligations of U.S. Government
agencies, and other securities. While ENB may continue to upgrade or
reposition the portfolio, management has not in the past nor does it intend in
the future to trade securities for profit or to depend upon securities gains as
a regular source of income. At December 31, 1994, the amortized cost of the
investment portfolio exceeded its fair value by approximately 5.2%.
Effective January 1, 1994, ENB adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities. The new standard addresses the accounting for investments
in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all
investments in debt securities. The investment securities covered by this
standard are required to be reported in one of three categories: (I) debt
securities which the institution has a positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity" securities and reported at
amortized cost; (ii) debt and equity securities that are bought and held
principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as
"trading securities" and reported at fair value, with the unrealized gains and
losses included in earnings; and (iii) debt and equity securities not
classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are
classified as "available-for-sale" securities and reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of
deferred taxes, as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 115,, securities with a
carrying value of $7.9 million were transferred to the available-for-sale
category at fair value, with a net unrealized gain of $18,000 net of deferred
income taxes, which was reflected as a separate component of shareholders'
equity. The remaining securities were classified as held-to-maturity which
will continue to be carried at amortized cost adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts. Management has the intent and ability to
hold until maturity those securities classified as such. The initial adoption
did not have any effect on the results of operations of ENB.
58
<PAGE> 75
At December 31, 1994, ENB's commitments to extend credit totaled $48
million. However, some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn
upon and may not result in cash requirements. Accordingly, management is of
the opinion that the sources of funds discussed above, together with the level
of investment securities carried in the available-for-sale portfolio, will be
sufficient to enable ENB to meet its obligations as they arise and to fund
future net growth.
Regulatory Assessments. ENB is required to pay certain fees to the FDIC and
the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The FDIC monitors risk-based
capital requirements and requires weaker institutions to pay higher deposit
insurance premiums, while allowing well-capitalized institutions to pay less.
The deposit insurance assessments currently range from 23 cents per $100 of
deposits for "well-capitalized" institutions to 31 cents for the weakest
institutions. These premiums are currently under review and it is expected
that the premium for Bank Insurance Fund institutions would decrease from 23
cents to 4 cents per $100 of deposits. For 1994, ENB paid 26 cents per $100 of
deposits and had $218.6 million of insured deposits as of December 31, 1994.
FDIC deposit insurance and regulatory assessments totaled $609,000 and
$540,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Effects of Inflation. A bank's asset and liability structure is primarily
monetary in nature, that is, fixed in terms of monetary amounts. Consequently,
the impact of inflation on a bank differs significantly from its impact on an
industrial company. Factors such as interest rates have a more significant
impact on a bank's performance than does general inflation. Interest rates do
not necessarily move in the same direction, or at the same magnitude, as the
price of other goods and services.
IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS TO BE ADOPTED
Impairment of Loans. SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan (effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994), as amended
by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income
Recognition and Disclosures, prescribes a valuation methodology for impaired
loans as defined by the standard. Generally a loan is considered "impaired" if
management believes that it is probable that all amounts due will not be
collected according to the contractual terms stipulated in the loan agreement.
An impaired loan must be valued using the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or as a practical
expedient, at the loan's observable market price or fair value of the loan's
underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. ENB adopted SFAS
No. 114 as of January 1, 1995. Adoption of the Statement did not have a
material effect on ENB's financial condition or results of operations.

____________________
Management has made the following assumptions in the above analysis:
(a) Assets and liabilities are generally assigned to a period based upon
their earliest repricing period when the repricing is less than the
contractual maturity.
(b) Nonaccrual loans are included in the noninterest-bearing category.
(c) Investment securities available for sale are currently treated in the
same manner as comparable securities in the investment securities held to
maturity portfolio in that they are scheduled according to the earlier of
their contractual maturities or earliest repricing dates; however, the
maturities of callable agency securities are scheduled according to their
call dates when valued at a premium to par.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Eastern National Bank
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eastern
National Bank and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Eastern National
Bank and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Bank changed its method
of accounting for investment securities in 1994.

EASTERN NATIONAL BANK AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Eastern National Bank (the Bank) is a 95% controlled subsidiary of ENB
Revocable Trust, a British Virgin Islands corporation.
The accounting policies and reporting practices of the Bank conform to
the predominant practices in the banking industry and are based on
generally accepted accounting principles. The following is a summary
of the more significant accounting policies of the Bank.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of Eastern National Bank (the
Bank) include the accounts of the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary
(from August 12, 1993, date of inception of subsidiary) which owns a
building and land partly occupied by the Bank. Significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and
federal funds sold.
Investment Securities
On January 1, 1994, the Bank adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The Statement requires
applicable debt and equity securities to be classified into three
categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading.
Securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities
the Bank has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity
regardless of changes in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes
in general economic conditions. These securities are carried at cost
adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount,
computed by the interest method over their contractual lives.

<PAGE> 98
EASTERN NATIONAL BANK AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:
Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities
that the Bank intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but
not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security
classified as available for sale would be based on various factors,
including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the
maturity mix of the Bank's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs,
regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized
gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in
shareholders' equity.
In accordance with the Statement, prior period financial statements
have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting principle.
The opening balance of shareholders' equity increased by $17,645 to
reflect the net unrealized gain on securities classified as
available-for-sale that were previously classified as held for
investment and carried at amortized cost.
Prior to 1994, investment securities were stated at cost adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts since it was
management's intention to hold investment securities for the
foreseeable future. From time to time management had decided to sell
certain securities prior to maturity for liquidity, tax planning or
other valid business purposes.
Realized gains or losses on the sales of investment securities are
determined by the specific identification method. Interest income on
investment securities is accrued monthly as earned.
Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses and Loan Fees
Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding reduced by
unearned discount on certain installment loans and by an allowance for
loan losses. Interest is accrued based upon the principal balance
outstanding.
The Bank provides for loan losses by charges to current operations in
amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance at an adequate level
based on factors which, in management's judgement, deserve current
recognition in estimating loan losses. Such factors include changes
in prevailing economic conditions, historical experience, changes in
the character and size of the loan portfolio, and the overall
creditworthiness of the borrowers.
Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses at such time
as management considers them uncollectible in the normal course of
business. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in the
opinion of management, its collectibility is doubtful. Classification
of a loan as non-accrual is not necessarily indicative of a potential
loss of principal.

<PAGE> 99
EASTERN NATIONAL BANK AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:
Loan origination and commitment fees are deferred and amortized over
the life of the related loan.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method
over the estimated useful life of each type of asset. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the remaining term of the applicable
leases or their useful lives, whichever is shorter.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred;
improvements and betterments are capitalized. When items are retired
or are otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or
losses are credited or charged to income.
Goodwill
The excess of cost over the fair value of the underlying net assets
and certain costs incurred in a branch acquisition of approximately
$574,600, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $214,000
and $176,000, as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen years and is included
in other assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Management
periodically evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred
that would result in impairment in the value or life of goodwill.
Other Real Estate
Other real estate acquired by foreclosure or other remedies is carried
at the lower of the recorded amount of the loan or the estimated net
realizable value reduced by estimated selling costs. When a reduction
of the recorded amount to the net realizable value is required at the
time of foreclosure, the difference is charged to the allowance for
loan losses. Any subsequent reduction is charged to other real estate
expense and a valuation reserve is established for the potential
declines in appraised values. Other real estate of approximately
$335,000 is included in other assets in the accompanying balance
sheets at December 31, 1994 and 1993.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Pursuant to this statement,
deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in
future years for differences between the tax basis of assets and
liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end
based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the
time periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable
income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to
reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The
implementation of the new statement did not have a material impact on
the Bank's financial statements.
Prior to 1993, deferred taxes were computed in accordance with APB
Opinion No. 11, Accounting for Income Taxes, based on timing
differences in the recognition of income and expense for financial
reporting and for income tax purposes.
Employee Benefit Plan
The Bank has established a qualified contributory profit sharing plan
covering substantially all eligible employees. The Bank's
contribution to the plan was approximately $48,000, $33,000 and
$31,000 for fiscal years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Capital and Reserve Requirements
Bank regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid
without prior approval of the Bank's regulatory agency. Payment of
dividends are generally limited to earnings of the Bank, as defined
for regulatory purposes, for the current period and the full two
preceding years.
Bank regulatory agencies also require banks to maintain certain
capital levels based both on the amount of carrying asset value and an
adjusted asset valuation determined on an assigned risk basis. The
amount of dividends that may be paid is also subject to these capital
requirements. As of December 31, 1994, the Bank was in compliance
with these requirements.
The Bank is also required to maintain noninterest bearing reserve
balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. At December 31, 1994 and
1993, the balances required to be maintained for such purposes
amounted to $1,407,000 and $2,648,000, respectively.

Future Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 114,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which becomes
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The
Statement generally requires impaired loans to be measured on the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate or as an expedient, at the loan's observable
market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. A loan is impaired when it is probable the
creditor will be unable to collect all contractual principal and
interest payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan
agreement. Adoption of the Statement is not expected to have a
significant impact on the Bank's financial position.

7. Related Party Transactions, Continued:
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, securities sold under agreements to
repurchase include approximately $350,000 and $3,482,000,
respectively, from affiliates. Interest expense on such deposits for
1994, 1993 and 1992 amounted to approximately $21,000, $36,000 and
$34,000, respectively.
8. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and With
Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing
needs of its customers. These financial instruments include
commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of
credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in
the balance sheets. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates or
other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Total
commitments to extend credit as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 included
$44,398,000 and $34,124,000, respectively, in floating rate loan
commitments and $4,057,000 and $2,897,000 respectively, in fixed rate
loan commitments. The 1994 fixed rate commitments were at rates
ranging from 5.47% to 10.5%, and expire on various dates through
September 1995. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness
on a case- by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed
necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on
management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments
issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private
borrowing or performance arrangements. The credit risk involved in
issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in
extending loan facilities to customers. At December 31, 1994, the
Bank had approximately $2,220,000 and $2,759,000 in irrevocable
standby and commercial letters of credit, respectively, outstanding of
which $1,656,000 and $460,000, respectively, were collateralized by
cash. At December 31, 1993, the Bank had approximately $2,094,000 and
$2,510,000 in irrevocable standby and commercial letters of credit,
respectively, outstanding of which $1,357,000 and $704,000,
respectively, were collateralized by cash.

8. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and With
Concentrations of Credit Risk, Continued:
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Bank primarily grants loans on which South Florida real estate is
collateral. The borrowers ability to honor their contracts is
substantially dependent upon the general economic conditions of the
region, particularly as it relates to the real estate and construction
industry. In addition, at December 31, 1994 and 1993, loans to
foreign borrowers, primarily Venezuelans, amounted to approximately
$15,001,000 and $30,331,000, respectively, of which approximately
$9,099,000 and $22,600,000, respectively, were collateralized by cash.
Commitments to extend credit to foreign borrowers, principally foreign
banks, totalled $19,320,000 as of December 31, 1994.
The Bank also owns investments in securities of foreign government
and/or entities. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the carrying value of
such investments amounted to approximately $1,283,000 and $1,395,000,
respectively.
9. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each significant class of financial instruments for which it
is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Due from Banks, Federal Funds Sold
For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable
estimate of fair value.
Investment Securities
The fair value of investment securities equals quoted market price, if
available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is
estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Note 2
to the financial statements provides information on estimated fair
values at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
Loan Receivables
A significant portion of loans receivable is comprised of prime-based
loans and cash collateralized loans, the fair value for these types of
loans is the carrying amount of the loan. At December 31, 1994,
prime-based loans amounted to $87,217,000 and cash collateralized
loans amounted to $14,855,000. At December 31, 1993, prime-based
loans amounted to $85,885,000 and cash collateralized loans amounted
to $28,603,000. Nonaccrual loans have not been valued because it is
not practical to estimate a fair value for such loans.

9. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued:
Deposit Liabilities
The fair value of demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts, money
market deposits and funds placed by affiliates and other borrowings is
the amount payable on demand (carrying amount) at December 31, 1994
and 1993. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is
estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
remaining maturities. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the fair value
of time deposits approximated their carrying value and included time
deposits of $40,934,000 and $50,323,000, respectively, due within six
months of year-end.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently
charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the
remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of
the counterparties. The fair value of letters of credit is based on
fees currently charged for similar agreements. At December 31, 1994
and 1993, letters of credit of approximately $3,631,000 and $3,036,000
were scheduled to expire within six months of year-end. The fair
value of these commitments approximate the carrying amount.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The foregoing financial statements
are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments,
including only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation
of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The accounting
policies followed by Eastern National Bank and Subsidiary (the "Bank") for
interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies
followed for annual financial reporting. The financial statements and notes
included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Note 2 - Accounting Change
Effective January 1, 1995, the Bank adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan. The Statement generally requires impaired loans to be measured on
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate or as an expedient, at the loan's observable market
price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
A loan is impaired when it is probable the creditor will be unable to collect
all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the
terms of the loan agreement. Adoption of the Statement did not have a
significant impact on the Bank's financial position.
Note 3 - Pending Merger
In April 1995, the Board of Directors of the Bank approved an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization with Union Planters Corporation ("UPC") whereby the two
parties intend to effectuate a merger of the Bank with and into a subsidiary of
UPC. The consideration to be paid consists of the following: (i) a payment of
$4,500,000 in cash, (ii) the issuance of approximately 317,459 shares of UPC
Series E Preferred Stock, and (iii) $14,500,000 in UPC, negotiable,
unregistered, unsecured notes having an interest rate of 8% per annum which
matures on various terms ranging from the one year anniversary date of the
merger to September, 1997. Notes in the amount of approximately $1.5 million
are payable on September 30, 1997 subject to the repayment of certain loans
which are currently in default.
The merger is dependent upon the approval of the shareholders of the Bank and
various regulatory agencies. Additionally, the Bank is restricted from certain
activities prior to the consummation of the transaction.

within thirty (30) days from the date of this Reorganization Agreement.
2.4 Availability of Information. Promptly after the
execution by the Parties of this Reorganization Agreement, each Party shall
provide to the other Party, its Officers, employees, agents, and
representatives access, on reasonable notice and during customary business
hours, to all of the books, records, properties and facilities of the Party and
shall use its best efforts to cause its Officers, employees, agents and
representatives to cooperate with any of the reviewing Party's reasonable
requests for information which would be customary in order to conduct the
review provided for in Section 2.3 of this Reorganization Agreement. Except as
expressly permitted by the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall keep
confidential, and shall cause its agents, representatives and employees to keep
confidential, all non-public information received by the disclosing Party in
connection with the provisions of this Section 2.4.
2.5 UPC's Right to Revise the Structure of the
Transaction. UPC shall have the right with the consent of the Board of
Directors of ENB, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to revise
the structure of the transaction (whether prior to or subsequent to ENB
Shareholder Approval) to achieve tax benefits or for any other reason which UPC
may reasonably deem advisable; provided, however, that UPC shall not have the
right, without the approval of the Board of Directors of ENB, to make any
revision to the structure of the transaction (i)
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 11
<PAGE> 134
which changes the amount of the Consideration which the ENB Record Holders are
entitled to receive (determined in the manner provided in Section 3.1(e) of
this Reorganization Agreement); (ii) changes the intended tax-free effects of
the transaction to UPC or ENB; or (iii) which would permit UPC to pay the
Consideration other than by delivery of the Cash Payment, shares of UPC Series
E Preferred Stock registered with the SEC (in the manner described in Section
6.2 of this Reorganization Agreement), and the UPC Negotiable Notes to the ENB
Record Holders; or (iii) which would unreasonably delay the Parties from
obtaining all necessary Regulatory Approvals. Notwithstanding the limitations
set forth in the previous sentence, UPC shall have the unilateral right, in its
sole discretion, to revise the structure of the transaction as it shall deem
necessary in order to assure that the transactions contemplated hereby shall
qualify as a reverse triangular merger for the purposes of Sections
368(a)(1)(A) and (a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code. UPC may exercise this
right of revision by giving written Notice to ENB in the manner provided in
Section 10.1 of this Reorganization Agreement, which Notice shall be in the
form of an amendment to this Reorganization Agreement or in the form of an
Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.
2.6 Holding Period of UPC Common Stock. ENB, the ENB
Revocable Trust and EOB each hereby acknowledges and agrees that any ENB Record
Holder who would be deemed an Affiliate of ENB at the time of Closing under the
Securities Laws and who accepts shares of UPC Series E Preferred Stock as
Consideration for the cancellation, exchange and conversion of his, her or its
shares of ENB Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Reorganization Agreement, shall not pledge, assign, sell, transfer, devise,
otherwise alienate the shares of UPC Series E Preferred Stock to be received by
such ENB Record Holder upon consummation of the Merger, nor enter into any
formal or informal agreement to pledge, assign, sell or transfer, devise, or
otherwise alienate his right, title and interests in any of the shares of UPC
Series E Preferred Stock to be delivered by UPC to such ENB Record Holder
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Reorganization Agreement except in
accordance with the Securities Laws. ENB further acknowledges and agrees that
any UPC Series E Preferred Stock Certificates issued in connection with the
Merger to ENB Record Holders who would be deemed Affiliates of ENB or UPC at
the time of Closing under the Securities Laws shall be subject to and bear a
restrictive legend substantially in the form as follows:
THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE HELD SUBJECT
TO ALL APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED BY
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 12
<PAGE> 135
COMMISSION ("SEC") THEREUNDER. NO SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION
OF THESE SHARES MAY BE MADE EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (OTHER THAN A
REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON SEC FORM S-4) OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF SEC RULES 144 AND 145 OR OTHER APPLICABLE EXEMPTIONS
FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
2.7 Restrictive Legend - UPC Negotiable Notes. ENB, Trust
and EOB each hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in order for the UPC
Negotiable Notes to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code as portfolio
indebtedness to the holder thereof the UPC Negotiable Notes shall at all times
be held by, or for the benefit of, non-United States of America residents
and/or foreign corporations. The UPC Negotiable Notes shall, if possible, be
structured as to provide that any payments of principal and interest thereunder
shall not be subject to any United States withholding or other taxes. ENB
further acknowledges and agrees that any UPC Negotiable Notes issued in
connection with the Merger to ENB Record Holders shall be subject to and bear a
restrictive legend substantially in the form as follows:
ANY UNITED STATES PERSON WHO HOLDS THIS OBLIGATION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO
LIMITATIONS UNDER THE UNITED STATES INCOME TAX LAWS, INCLUDING THE
LIMITATIONS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 165(J) AND 1287(A) OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE OF 1986. BY ACCEPTING THIS OBLIGATION, THE HOLDER
REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT IS NOT A UNITED STATES PERSON, OTHER
THAN AN EXEMPT RECIPIENT DESCRIBED IN SECTION 6049(B)(4) OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AND THE REGULATIONS PROMULGATED BY THE
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE THEREUNDER.
2.8 ENB Stock Options and Treasury Stock. As of the date
of this Reorganization Agreement, except as set forth on Schedule 2.8 hereto,
there are no validly issued and outstanding options to purchase shares of ENB
Common Stock; and no other options, rights, warrants, scrip or similar rights
to purchase shares of ENB Common Stock (collectively, the "ENB Stock Options")
are (or have been) issued and outstanding by ENB. Except as set forth on
Schedule 2.8 hereto, at the Effective Time of the Merger, there will be no
issued and outstanding ENB Stock Options. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.8
hereto, as of the date of this Reorganization Agreement, ENB has not
repurchased any shares of its capital stock. Except as set forth on Schedule
2.8 hereto, as of the date of this Reorganization Agreement, there are no
shares of ENB Common Stock held by ENB as Treasury Stock, nor will there be any
such shares at the Effective Time of the Merger.

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION
3.1 Terms of the Merger.
(a) Satisfaction of Conditions to Closing. After
the transactions contemplated herein have been approved by the shareholders of
ENB and INTERIM, and each other condition to the obligations of the Parties
hereto has been satisfied or, if lawfully permitted, waived by the Party or
Parties entitled to the benefits thereof, other than those conditions which are
to be satisfied by delivery of documents by any Party to any other Party, a
closing (the "Closing") will be held on the date (the "Closing Date") and at
the time of day and place referred to in Section 3.2 of this Reorganization
Agreement. At the Closing the Parties shall deliver the certificates, letters
and opinions which constitute conditions to the Merger and each Party will
provide the other Parties with such proof or indication of satisfaction of the
conditions of such other Parties to consummate the Merger as such other Parties
may reasonably require. If all conditions to the obligations of each of the
Parties have been satisfied or lawfully waived by the Party entitled to the
benefits thereof, the Parties shall, at the Closing, duly execute Articles of
Merger for filing with the Comptroller and immediately thereafter UPC shall
file or cause to be filed such Articles of Merger with the Comptroller and the
appropriate local authorities, and INTERIM and ENB shall take all steps
necessary or desirable to consummate the Merger in accordance with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations and the Merger Agreement which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference as part of this
Reorganization Agreement. The Parties shall thereupon take such other and
further actions as UPC shall reasonably direct or as may be required by law or
this Reorganization Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated
herein.
(b) Effective Time of the Merger. Upon the
satisfaction of all conditions to Closing, the Merger shall become effective on
the date and at the time of filing of Articles of Merger with the Comptroller
and the appropriate local authorities or at such later date and/or time as may
be agreed upon by the Parties and set forth in the Articles of Merger so filed
or in a Certificate of Merger issued by the Comptroller (the "Effective Time of
the Merger").
(c) Conversion of Shares of INTERIM. At the
Effective Time of the Merger, each share of $50.00 par value common stock of
INTERIM (the "INTERIM Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time of the Merger
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 14
<PAGE> 137
shall, by virtue of the Merger becoming effective and without any further
action on the part of anyone, become one share of the issued and outstanding
common stock of the Resulting Bank.
(d) Conversion and Cancellation of Shares of ENB.
At the Effective Time of the Merger, each share of $16.00 par value common
stock of ENB (the "ENB Common Stock") which shall be validly issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall, by
virtue of the Merger becoming effective and without any further action on the
part of anyone, be converted, exchanged and cancelled as provided in Section
3.1(e) hereof, except with respect to such shares of ENB Common Stock as to
which dissenters' rights shall have been perfected and shall remain perfected
at the Effective Time of the Merger.
(e) Conversion and Exchange of ENB Shares;
Exchange Ratio. At the Effective Time of the Merger, the outstanding shares of
ENB Common Stock held by the ENB Record Holders immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger shall, without any further action on the part of
anyone, cease to represent any interest (equity, shareholder or otherwise) in
ENB and shall, except for those shares of ENB Common Stock held and registered
in the name of any ENB Shareholder of record on the Record Date who shall have
perfected his dissenters' rights and shall have continued such perfected
dissenting status through the Effective Time of the Merger, automatically be
converted exclusively into, and constitute only the right of the ENB Record
Holders collectively to receive in exchange for their shares of ENB Common
Stock: (i) a payment in the aggregate amount of $4,500,000.00 by wire transfer
in accordance with written instructions to be provided by the ENB Revocable
Trust (the "Cash Payment"); (ii) whole shares of UPC Series E Preferred Stock
and a cash payment in settlement of any ENB Record Holder's remaining
fractional share of UPC Series E Preferred Stock; and (iii) $14,500,000 in
aggregate principal amount of UPC negotiable, unregistered, unsecured notes
issued in three series (as hereinafter described) with the notes of each of the
three series bearing interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (the
"UPC Negotiable Notes"), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Section 3.1(e). The Cash Payment, the shares of UPC Series E Preferred Stock
and the cash settlement of any remaining fractional share of UPC Series E
Preferred Stock, and the UPC Negotiable Notes deliverable by UPC to the ENB
Record Holders pursuant to the terms of this Reorganization Agreement are
sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Consideration."
The Consideration per share of ENB Common Stock shall be determined as follows:
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 15
<PAGE> 138
(A) The Cash Payment to be delivered for each share of ENB Common Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the
Merger (based on there being no more than 456,250 shares of ENB Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
of the Merger) shall be fixed at Nine Dollars and Eighty-Six Cents
($9.86) per share of ENB Common Stock (the "Cash Payment Exchange
Ratio").
(B) The number of shares of UPC Series E Preferred Stock to be exchanged
for each share of ENB Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (based on there being no
more than 456,250 shares of ENB Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger) shall be based
on an exchange ratio (the "Series E Exchange Ratio") as determined and
set forth in this Subsection 3.1(e)(B). The Series E Exchange Ratio
shall be determined as follows:
(i) In the event the Current Market Price
Per Share (as defined below) of UPC Series E Preferred Stock should be
less than or equal to $31.50 per share of UPC Series E Preferred
Stock, the Series E Exchange Ratio shall be fixed at .6958 shares of
UPC Series E Preferred Stock for each share of ENB Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger;
and
(ii) In the event the Current Market Price
Per Share of UPC Series E Preferred Stock should be greater than
$31.50 per share of UPC Series E Preferred Stock, the Series E
Exchange Ratio shall be equal to the quotient of 21.9178
($10,000,000.00 / 456,250 shares of ENB Common Stock issued and
outstanding at the Effective Time of the Merger) divided by the
Current Market Price Per Share of one share of UPC Series E Preferred
Stock for each share of ENB Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger.
(C) The UPC Negotiable Notes (and cash to be paid in lieu of certain small
denomination UPC Negotiable Notes as hereinafter provided) to be
delivered for each share of ENB Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (based on there
being no more than 456,250 shares of ENB Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger)
shall be delivered in three series the aggregate principal amount of
which shall be equal to Thirty-One Dollars and Eighty Cents ($31.80)
per share of ENB Common Stock (the "Negotiable Note Exchange Ratio"),
and shall be
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 16
<PAGE> 139
in the principal amounts, have the maturity dates and be subject to
the following terms and conditions:
(i) There shall be delivered one or more
UPC Negotiable Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $15.90 per
share of ENB Common Stock which shall be payable as to principal on
that date which is twelve (12) months subsequent to the Effective Date
of the Merger and as to interest quarterly beginning on the first day
of the calendar quarter subsequent to the calendar quarter in which
the Effective Date of the Merger shall occur (the "Series I Notes");
(ii) There shall be delivered one or more
UPC Negotiable Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $12.61 per
share of ENB Common Stock which shall be payable as to principal on
March 31, 1997 and as to interest quarterly beginning on the first day
of the calendar quarter subsequent to the calendar quarter in which
the Effective Date of the Merger shall occur (the " Series II Notes");
(iii) There shall be delivered one or more
UPC Negotiable Notes (the "Series III Notes") in the principal amount
of $3.29 per share of ENB Common Stock which Notes, subject to the
exceptions set forth below, shall be payable as to principal on
September 30, 1997 and shall be payable as to interest quarterly
beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter subsequent to the
calendar quarter in which the Effective Date of the Merger shall
occur. The Series III Notes are intended to evidence UPC's obligation
to pay additional consideration conditioned upon the receipt of
payments on that certain extension of credit by ENB to the "Borrower"
described in Schedule 3.1(e) hereof (the "Schedule 3.1(e) Loan" or the
"Loan"). For purposes of this Subsection 3.1(e)(C)(iii), all payments
made on the Schedule 3.1(e) Loan, however described at the time, shall
be deemed to have been applied: first, to reimbursement of any unpaid
expenses which shall have been incurred by ENB or by any successor
holder(s) of the Schedule 3.1(e) Loan with respect to said Loan and
which the Borrower shall be legally obligated to pay (the "Loan
Expenses"); second, to the payment of interest accrued on said Loan
from the date of its inception; and third, to the payment of
principal. UPC shall have no obligation to pay any installment of
interest should Loan Expenses in any amount be unreimbursed on the
interest payment date or should payments on the Loan have been
insufficient to pay in full not only all Loan Expenses but also any
interest accrued at the stipulated rate from the Schedule 3.1(e)
Loan's inception through the Effective Date of the Merger. Moreover,
the amount of an installment
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 17
<PAGE> 140
of interest shall not exceed the lesser of: (i) the unpaid interest
accrued on the Series III Notes at 8% per annum subsequent to the
Effective Date of the Merger or (ii) the amount of interest both
accrued and paid on the Schedule 3.1(e) Loan subsequent to the
Effective Date of the Merger. Should all Loan Expenses, interest,
principal and other obligations of the Borrower under the Schedule
3.1(e) Loan be paid in full on or before September 30, 1997, UPC shall
pay the unpaid amount of principal and accrued interest on the Series
III Notes within 10 days thereafter; provided, however, that UPC shall
have no obligation to pay the principal prior to March 31, 1997.
Should any obligation of the Borrower on the Schedule 3.1(e) Loan (the
"Scheduled Borrower") remain unpaid at September 30, 1997, the holder
of the Schedule 3.1(e) Loan shall promptly assign to the then
holder(s) of the Series III Notes in proportion to their respective
interests in the Series III Notes, without any recourse against such
assignor(s), all of the right, title and interest of the holders of
the Schedule 3.1(e) Loan whereupon UPC shall be entitled to a credit
against UPC's obligations under the Series III Notes in an amount
equal to the aggregate amount of any unsatisfied obligations of the
Scheduled Borrower. Thereupon, UPC shall be entitled to discharge its
obligations under the Series III Notes by paying in full the
outstanding balance thereunder after application of such credit. The
Series III Notes shall be appropriately annotated to put any
subsequent holder on notice of the foregoing stipulations such that
the same cannot be acquired without notice by a holder so as to have
the status of a "holder in due course."
The UPC Negotiable Notes need (i) not be registered under the Securities Laws,
(ii) shall be unsecured, (iii) shall bear interest from the Effective Date of
the Merger at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum payable as set forth in
Subsection 3.1(e)(C) above, and (iv) shall be subject to the restrictions on
the resale or transfer thereof imposed under the Securities Laws and shall bear
a restrictive legend to that effect. The parties hereby agree to use their
best efforts to assure that the UPC Negotiable Notes shall qualify as portfolio
indebtedness and shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.7 of
this Reorganization Agreement to that effect.
The Trustees of the ENB Revocable Trust and EOB have also joined in this
Agreement for the purpose of warranting and representing that their present
intention is to hold to maturity the Series I, Series II and Series III
Negotiable Notes and that they have no present intention to sell or otherwise
dispose of, or to transfer the same or any interest in the same subject,
however, to the remote possibility that the ENB Revocable Trust could be
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 18
<PAGE> 141
terminated and the net assets held by the trustees distributed to the
beneficiaries thereof. If and when this should occur, UPC would cooperate in
reissuing the Notes of each such Series in denominations requested by the
Trustees in order to facilitate any such liquidating distributions.
The Cash Payment Exchange Ratio, the Negotiable Note Exchange Ratio, and the
Series E Exchange Ratio are collectively referred to herein as the "Exchange
Ratios."
The Exchange Ratios shall be based on an aggregate of no more than 456,250
shares of ENB Common Stock being issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time of the Merger; provided, however, that no certificates
representing less than one thousand (1,000) shares of UPC Series E Preferred
Stock and no fractional shares of UPC Series E Preferred Stock shall be issued
and if, after aggregating all of the shares and fractional shares of UPC Series
E Preferred Stock to which an ENB Record Holder is entitled based upon the
Series E Exchange Ratio, there would be less than 1,000 full shares of UPC
Series E Preferred Stock or a fractional share of UPC Series E Preferred Stock
remaining, such whole shares and any fractional share shall be settled by a
cash payment therefor based upon a value of $31.50 for one (1) full share of
UPC Series E Preferred Stock; provided, further, that UPC shall not issue any
UPC Negotiable Notes of any series having a principal amount less than
$100,000.00 and if, after aggregating the principal amounts of any series of
UPC Negotiable Notes to which an ENB Record Holder would be entitled based upon
the Negotiable Note Exchange Ratios, there would be a principal amount of less
than $100,000.00 remaining with respect to such series, such principal amount
below $100,000.00 shall be settled by a cash payment therefor based upon a
value of $15.90 per share of ENB Common Stock with respect to any Series I
Note, $12.61 per share of ENB Common Stock with respect to any Series II Note
and $3.29 per share of ENB Common Stock with respect to any Series III Note so
exchanged.
(1) DEFINITION OF "CURRENT MARKET PRICE
PER SHARE." The "Current Market Price Per Share" shall be the average
closing price per share of the "last" real time trades (i.e., the
closing price) of the UPC Series E Preferred Stock quoted on the
NASDAQ/NMS (as published inThe Wall Street Journal Eastern Edition)
for each of the ten (10) NASDAQ/NMS general market trading days next
preceding the date of this Reorganization Agreement on which the
NASDAQ/NMS was open for business (the "Pricing Period"). In the event
the UPC Series E Preferred Stock should not trade on one or more of
the trading days included in the Pricing Period (a "No Trade Date"),
any such No Trade Date shall be
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 19
<PAGE> 142
disregarded in computing the average closing price per share of UPC
Series E Preferred Stock and the average shall be based upon the
"last" real time trades and the number of days on which the UPC Series
E Preferred Stock actually traded during the Pricing Period.
(2) EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF DISSENTERS'
RIGHTS ON THE EXCHANGE RATIO. Should ENB Record Holders representing
at least in the aggregate five percent (5%) of the shares of ENB
Common Stock issued and outstanding at the time of Closing have
perfected such ENB Record Holder's dissenters' rights in the manner
described in Section 215 of the United States Code and maintained the
perfected status of such dissenters' rights through the Closing Date,
UPC and INTERIM shall have the right, exercisable in their sole
discretion, to terminate this Reorganization Agreement or, with the
approval of the Board of Directors of ENB, reduce the Consideration to
be delivered by UPC hereunder by an amount sufficient to off-set
against the Consideration any amounts in excess of the Consideration
stipulated herein paid, or to be paid, by the Resulting Bank in
satisfaction of such dissenters' rights.
(3) EFFECT OF STOCK SPLITS, REVERSE STOCK
SPLITS, STOCK DIVIDENDS AND SIMILAR CHANGES IN THE CAPITAL OF UPC OR
ENB. Should either UPC or ENB effect any stock splits, reverse stock
splits, stock dividends or similar changes in their respective capital
accounts subsequent to the date as of which this Reorganization
Agreement is executed but prior to the Effective Time of the Merger,
the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted proportionately in such a manner
as the Board of Directors of UPC and the Board of Directors of ENB
shall agree in good faith to be fair and reasonable in order to give
effect to such changes.
(f) Mechanics of Payment of the Consideration.
At the Closing and upon receipt by UPC from ENB of a certified copy of a list
of all of the ENB Record Holders (the "Shareholder List") and the proper
submission of certificate(s) formerly representing and evidencing ownership of
the shares of ENB Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the former
ENB Shareholders in exchange for the certificate(s) surrendered by them, the
Consideration to be paid for each such ENB Record Holder's shares of ENB Common
Stock evidenced by the certificate or certificates which were converted
exclusively into the right to receive the Consideration upon the Merger
becoming effective and thereupon cancelled. Within five days after the
Effective Time of the Merger, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to each of the
Record Holders whose certificates were not surrendered at Closing such
materials and information deemed necessary by the
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 20
<PAGE> 143
Exchange Agent to advise any ENB Record Holders of the procedures required for
proper surrender of their certificates formerly evidencing and representing
shares of the ENB Common Stock in order for the ENB Record Holders to receive
the Consideration. Such materials shall include, without limitation, a Letter
of Transmittal, an Instruction Sheet, and a return envelope addressed to the
Exchange Agent (collectively the "Shareholder Materials"). All Shareholder
Materials shall be sent by First Class United States mail to the ENB Record
Holders at the addresses set forth on the Shareholder List. As soon as
reasonably practicable thereafter, the ENB Record Holders of all of the
outstanding shares of ENB Common Stock, shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to the Exchange Agent, pursuant to the Shareholder Materials, the
certificates formerly evidencing and representing all of the shares of ENB
Common Stock which were validly issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger, and the Exchange Agent shall take prompt action
to process such certificates formerly evidencing and representing shares of ENB
Common Stock received by it (including the prompt return of any defective
submissions with instructions as to those actions which the Exchange Agent may
deem necessary to remedy any defects). Upon receipt of the proper submission
of the certificate(s) formerly representing and evidencing ownership of the
shares of ENB Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall, as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter, mail to the ENB Record Holders in exchange for the
certificate(s) surrendered by them, the Consideration to be paid for each such
ENB Record Holder's shares of ENB Common Stock evidenced by the certificate or
certificates which shall have been cancelled and converted exclusively into the
right to receive the Consideration upon the Merger becoming effective. After
the Effective Time of the Merger and until properly surrendered to the Exchange
Agent, each outstanding certificate or certificates which formerly evidenced
and represented the shares of ENB Common Stock of an ENB Record Holder, subject
to the provisions of this Section, shall be deemed for all corporate purposes
to represent and evidence only the right to receive the Consideration into
which such ENB Record Holder's shares of ENB Common Stock were converted at the
Effective Time of the Merger. Unless and until the outstanding certificate or
certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger
evidenced and represented the ENB Record Holder's ENB Common Stock shall have
been surrendered as provided above, the Consideration payable to the ENB Record
Holder(s) of the cancelled shares as of any time after the Effective Date shall
not be paid to the ENB Record Holder(s) of such certificate(s) until such
certificates shall have been surrendered in the manner required. No dividends
or other distributions which shall otherwise be payable on the shares of UPC
Series E Preferred Stock constituting part of the Consideration and no interest
on the UPC Negotiable Notes
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 21
<PAGE> 144
constituting part of the Consideration shall be paid to any ENB Record Holders
entitled to receive such shares or notes until such persons shall have
surrendered in accordance with the Shareholder Materials their certificates
formerly representing shares of ENB Common Stock. Upon such proper surrender,
there shall be paid to such person in whose name the shares of UPC Series E
Preferred Stock and the UPC Negotiable Notes shall be issued (i) any dividends
or other distributions, the record date of which shall have occurred between
the Effective Time of the Merger and such surrender, with respect to such
shares of UPC Common Stock, without interest thereon, and (ii) any interest
accrued and payable prior to such surrender with respect to such UPC Negotiable
Notes, without interest thereon. Each ENB Shareholder will be responsible for
all federal, state and local taxes which may be incurred by him or her on
account of his or her receipt of the Consideration to be paid in the Merger.
The ENB Record Holder(s) of any certificate(s) which shall have been lost or
destroyed may nevertheless, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.1(f),
receive without interest thereon the Consideration to which each such ENB
Record Holder is entitled, provided that each such ENB Record Holder shall
deliver to UPC and to the Exchange Agent: (i) a sworn statement certifying such
loss or destruction and specifying the circumstances thereof and (ii) a lost
instrument bond in form satisfactory to UPC and the Exchange Agent which shall
have been duly executed by a corporate surety satisfactory to UPC and the
Exchange Agent, indemnifying the Resulting Bank, UPC, the Exchange Agent (and
their respective successors) to their satisfaction against any loss or expense
which any of them may incur as a result of such lost or destroyed certificates
being thereafter presented. Any costs or expenses which may arise from such
replacement procedure, including the premium on the lost instrument bond, shall
be for the account of the ENB Shareholder.
If any of the Consideration due or other payments to
be paid or delivered to the ENB Record Holders is not paid or delivered within
the time period specified by any applicable laws concerning abandoned property,
escheat or similar laws, and if such failure to pay or deliver such
Consideration occurs or arises out of the fact that such property is not
claimed by the proper owner thereof, the Resulting Bank or the Exchange Agent
shall be entitled to dispose of any such Consideration or other payments in
accordance with applicable laws concerning abandoned property, escheat or
similar laws.
(g) Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time
of the Merger, the stock transfer books of ENB shall be closed and no transfer
of shares of ENB Common Stock shall be made thereafter.
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 22
<PAGE> 145
(h) Effects of the Merger. As of the Effective
Time of the Merger, the separate existence of INTERIM shall cease, and INTERIM
shall be merged with and into ENB which, as the Resulting Bank, shall thereupon
and thereafter possess all of the assets, rights, privileges, appointments,
powers, licenses, permits and franchises of the two merged corporations,
whether of a public or a private nature, and shall be subject to all of the
liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of both ENB and INTERIM.
(i) Transfer of Assets. At the Effective Time of
the Merger, all rights, assets, licenses, permits, franchises and interests of
ENB and INTERIM in and to every type of property, whether real, personal, or
mixed, whether tangible or intangible, and to choses in action shall be deemed
to be vested in ENB as the Resulting Bank by virtue of the Merger becoming
effective and without any deed or other instrument or act of transfer
whatsoever.
(j) Assumption of Liabilities. At the Effective
Time of the Merger, the Resulting Bank shall become and be liable for all
debts, liabilities, obligations and contracts of ENB as well as those of
INTERIM, whether the same shall be matured or unmatured; whether accrued,
absolute, contingent or otherwise; and whether or not reflected or reserved
against in the balance sheets, other financial statements, books of account or
records of ENB or INTERIM.
(k) Dissenting Shareholders' Rights. Any ENB
Record Holder of shares of ENB Common Stock who shall comply strictly with the
provisions of 12 U.S.C.A. Section 215 et seq., shall be entitled to dissent
from the Merger and to seek those appraisal remedies afforded by the United

ENB and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, held under leases or
subleases by ENB or any ENB Subsidiary, are held under valid instruments
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (except as enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally, and except that the availability of the equitable remedy of specific
performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court
before which any proceedings may be pending). The policies of fire, theft,
liability, and other insurance maintained with respect to the properties,
assets or businesses of the ENB Companies provide adequate coverage against
loss, and the fidelity bonds in effect as to which any of the ENB Companies is
a named insured are believed to be sufficient.
5.11 ENB Subsidiaries and Representative Offices. Schedule
5.11 hereto lists all of the active and inactive ENB Subsidiaries and
representative offices as of the date of this Reorganization Agreement and
describes generally the business activities conducted, or permitted to be
conducted, by each ENB Subsidiary and representative office. No equity
securities of any of the ENB Subsidiaries are or may become required to be
issued (other than to ENB) by reason of any options, warrants, scrip, rights to
subscribe to, calls, or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or
securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of the
capital stock of any ENB Subsidiary, and there are no contracts, commitments,
understandings, or arrangements by which any ENB Subsidiary is bound to issue
(other than to ENB) any additional shares of its capital stock or options,
warrants, or rights to purchase or acquire any additional shares of its capital
stock. All of the shares of capital stock of each ENB Subsidiary held by ENB
or by any ENB Subsidiary are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned

by ENB or such ENB Subsidiary free and clear of any claim, lien, or encumbrance
of any nature whatsoever, whether perfected or not.
5.12 Condition of Fixed Assets and Equipment. Except as
disclosed in Schedule 5.12 hereto, each item of ENB's fixed assets and
equipment having a net book value in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars

repair, normal wear and tear excepted.

hereto:
(a) all federal, state, local, and foreign tax
returns required to be filed by or on behalf of ENB and each ENB Subsidiary
have been timely filed or requests for extensions have been timely filed,
granted, and have not expired for periods ended on or before the date of this
Reorganization Agreement, and all returns filed are, and the information
contained therein is, complete and accurate. All tax obligations reflected in
such returns have been paid. As of the date of this Reorganization Agreement,
there is no audit examination, deficiency, or refund litigation or matter in
controversy with respect to any taxes that might reasonably expected to result
in a determination materially adverse to ENB or any ENB Subsidiary except as
fully reserved for in the Audited Financial Statements of ENB. All taxes,
interest, additions, and penalties due with respect to completed and settled
examinations or concluded litigation have been paid.
(b) Neither ENB nor any ENB Subsidiary has executed
an extension or waiver of any statute of limitations on the assessment or
collection of any tax due that is currently in effect.
(c) Adequate provision for any federal, state,
local, or foreign taxes due or to become due for ENB and all ENB Subsidiaries
for all periods through and including December 31, 1994, has been made and is
reflected on the December 31, 1994 financial statements included in the Audited
Financial Statements of ENB, and have been made with respect to periods ending
after December 31, 1994.
(d) Deferred taxes of ENB and each ENB Subsidiary
have been provided for in accordance with GAAP.
(e) To the best knowledge of ENB, neither the
Internal Revenue Service nor any foreign, state, local or other taxing
authority is now asserting or threatening to assert
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 37
<PAGE> 160
against ENB or any ENB Subsidiary any deficiency or claim for additional taxes,
or interest thereon or penalties in connection therewith. All material income,
payroll, withholding, property, excise, sales, use, franchise and transfer
taxes, and all other taxes, charges, fees, levies or other assessments, imposed
upon ENB by the United States or by any state, municipality, subdivision or
instrumentality of the United States or by any other taxing authority,
including all interest, penalties or additions attributable thereto, which are
due and payable by ENB or any ENB Subsidiary, either have been paid in full, or
have been properly accrued and reflected in the Audited Financial Statements of
ENB referred to in Section 5.7 of this Reorganization Agreement.
5.14 Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.14
hereto, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against ENB or any ENB
Subsidiary, or to the best knowledge of ENB threatened against or affecting
ENB, any ENB Subsidiary or any of their assets, before any court or arbitrator
or any governmental body, agency or official that (i) would be reasonably
expected to, if decided against ENB or the ENB Subsidiary, have a material
adverse impact on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, condition
(financial or other) or prospects of ENB and that are not reflected in the
Audited Financial Statements of ENB or (ii) has been brought by or on behalf of
any employee employed or formerly employed by ENB or any ENB Subsidiary that
would have a material adverse impact on ENB or any ENB Subsidiary.

information and belief of the management of ENB, except as set forth in
Schedule 5.15 hereto:
(a) ENB and all ENB Subsidiaries have obtained
all permits, licenses and other authorizations which are required to be
obtained by ENB or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Property (as defined
herein) under all Applicable Environmental Laws (as defined herein). All
Property controlled, directly or indirectly, by ENB or any ENB Subsidiary is in
compliance with the terms and conditions of all of such permits, licenses and
authorizations, and is also in compliance with all other limitations,
restrictions, conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations,

ENB's assets and operations; all such insurance policies and guaranties are in
full force and effect; and ENB and all of ENB's material Realty and other
material properties are insured against fire, casualty, theft, loss, and such
other events against which it is customary to insure, all such insurance
policies being in amounts that are adequate and consistent with past practice
and experience.
5.17 Labor and Employment Matters. To the best of the
knowledge, information and belief of the management of ENB, except as reflected
in Schedule 5.17 hereto, there is no (i) collective bargaining agreement or
other labor agreement to which ENB or any ENB Subsidiary is a party or by which
any of them is bound; (ii) employment, profit sharing, deferred compensation,
bonus, stock option, purchase, retainer, consulting, retirement, welfare or
incentive plan or contract to which ENB or any ENB Subsidiary is a party or by
which it is bound; or (iii) plan or agreement under which "fringe benefits"
(including, but not limited to, vacation plans or programs, sick leave plans or
programs and related benefits) are afforded any of the employees of ENB or any
ENB Subsidiary. No party to any such agreement, plan or contract is in default
with respect to any material term or condition thereof, nor has any event
occurred which, through the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both,
would constitute a default thereunder or would cause the acceleration of any
obligation of any party thereto. Neither ENB nor any ENB Subsidiary has
received notice from any governmental agency of any alleged violation of
applicable laws that remains unresolved respecting employment and employment
practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours. ENB and
each ENB Subsidiary have complied in all material respects with all applicable
laws, rules and regulations relating to the employment of labor, including
those related to its employment practices, employee disabilities, wages, hours,
collective bargaining and the payment and withholding of taxes and other sums
as required by the appropriate governmental authorities, and ENB and each ENB
Subsidiary have withheld and paid to the appropriate governmental authorities
or are holding for payment not yet due to such authorities, all amounts
required to be withheld from the employees of ENB and each ENB Subsidiary and
are not liable for any arrears of wages, taxes, penalties or other sums for
failure to comply with any of the foregoing. There are no unfair labor practice
complaint against ENB or any ENB Subsidiary pending before the National Labor
Relations Board or any state or local agency; pending labor strike or other
labor trouble affecting ENB or any ENB Subsidiary; labor grievance pending
against ENB or any ENB Subsidiary; pending representation question respecting
the employees of ENB or any ENB Subsidiary; pending arbitration

<PAGE> 165
proceedings arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement to
which ENB or any ENB Subsidiary is a party; or to the best knowledge of ENB,
any basis for which a claim may be made under any collective bargaining
agreement to which ENB or any ENB Subsidiary is a party.
5.18 Records and Documents. The Records of ENB are and
will be sufficient to enable ENB to continue conducting ENB's business as a
national banking association under similar standards as it has previously
conducted such business.
5.19 Capitalization of ENB. The authorized capital stock
of ENB consists of 1,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of
$16.00 per share (the "ENB Common Stock") and no shares of preferred stock or
any other class of equity security. As of the date of this Reorganization
Agreement, 456,250 shares of ENB Common Stock were issued and outstanding and
no shares of ENB Common Stock were held by ENB as treasury stock. All of the
outstanding ENB Common Stock is validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable
and has not been issued in violation of any preemptive rights of any ENB
Shareholder. Except as described in Section 3.1(l) of this Reorganization
Agreement or as described on Schedule 5.19 hereto, as of the date hereof, there
are no outstanding securities or other obligations which are convertible into
ENB Common Stock or into any other equity or debt security of ENB, and there
are no outstanding options, warrants, rights, scrip, rights to subscribe to,
calls or other commitments of any nature which would entitle the holder, upon
exercise thereof, to be issued ENB Common Stock or any other equity or debt
security of ENB. Accordingly, immediately prior to the Effective Time of the
Merger, there will be not more than 456,250 shares of ENB Common Stock issued
and outstanding. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.19 hereto, ENB owns and is
the beneficial record holder of, and has good and freely transferable title to,
all of the shares of capital stock in any ENB Subsidiary.
5.20 Sole Agreement. With the exception of this
Reorganization Agreement, neither ENB, nor any ENB Subsidiary has been or is a
party to any letter of intent or agreement to merge, to consolidate, to sell or
purchase assets (other than in the normal course of its business) or to any
other agreement which contemplates the involvement of ENB or any Subsidiary of
ENB (or any of their assets) in any business combination of any kind; or any
agreement obligating ENB to issue or sell or authorize the sale or transfer of
ENB Common Stock or the capital stock of any ENB Subsidiary. Except as
described in Schedule 5.20 hereto, there are no shares of capital stock or
other equity securities of ENB outstanding, except for shares of ENB Common
Stock presently issued and outstanding, and there are no outstanding options,
warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 43
<PAGE> 166
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights
convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of the capital stock of ENB, or
contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which ENB or is or
may be bound to issue additional shares of their capital stock or options,
warrants, or rights to purchase or acquire any additional shares of their
capital stock. There are no contracts, commitments, understandings, or
arrangements by which ENB or any ENB Subsidiary is or may be bound to transfer
or issue to any third party any shares of the capital stock of any ENB
Subsidiary, and there are no contracts, agreements, understandings or
commitments relating to the right of ENB to vote or to dispose of any such
shares.
5.21 Disclosure. The information concerning, and
representations and warranties made by, ENB set forth in this Reorganization
Agreement, or in the Schedules of Exceptions of ENB hereto, or in any document,
statement, certificate or other writing furnished or to be furnished by ENB to
UPC and INTERIM pursuant hereto, does not and will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit and will not omit to state a material fact
required to be stated herein or therein necessary to make the statements and
facts contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
were or are made, not false or misleading. Copies of all documents heretofore
or hereafter delivered or made available to UPC by ENB pursuant hereto were
complete and accurate copies of such documents.
5.22 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as described
in Schedule 5.22 hereto, neither ENB nor any ENB Subsidiary has any obligation
or liability (contingent or otherwise) that is material to the financial
condition or operations of ENB or any ENB Subsidiary, or that, when combined
with all similar obligations or liabilities, would be material to the financial
condition or operations of ENB or any ENB Subsidiary (i) except as disclosed in
the ENB Financial Statements delivered to UPC prior to the date of this
Reorganization Agreement or (ii) except obligations or liabilities incurred in
the ordinary course of its business consistent with past practices or (iii)
except as contemplated under this Reorganization Agreement. Since December 31,
1994, neither ENB nor any ENB Subsidiary has incurred or paid any obligation or
liability which would be material to the financial condition or operations of
ENB or such ENB Subsidiary, except for obligations paid in connection with
transactions made by it in the ordinary course of its business consistent with
past practices, laws and regulations applicable to ENB or any ENB Subsidiary.

<PAGE> 167
5.23 Allowance for Possible Loan or ORE Losses. The
allowance for possible loan losses shown on the consolidated Audited Financial
Statements of ENB is adequate in all material respects to provide for
anticipated losses with respect to Loans outstanding or for commitments to
extend credit or similar off-balance-sheet items (including accrued interest
receivable) as of the dates thereof. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.23
hereto, as of the date thereof ENB does not have any Loan which has been
criticized or classified by its bank examiners or by its independent auditors
in reports provided to the management of ENB by such reviewing parties as
"Other Assets Especially Mentioned," "Substandard," "Doubtful" or "Loss" or as
a "Potential Problem Loan."
The allowance for possible losses on other real estate ("ORE") shown
on the consolidated Audited Financial Statements of ENB is (with respect to
periods ended on or before December 31, 1994) or will be (with respect to
periods ending subsequent to December 31, 1994) adequate in all material
respects to provide for anticipated losses in ORE owned or held by ENB or any
ENB Subsidiary and the net book value of ORE on the Balance Sheet of Audited
Financial Statements of ENB is the net realizable value of the ORE in
accordance with Statement of Position 92-3.
5.24 Compliance with Laws. To the best of ENB's knowledge,
information and belief, except as described in Schedule 5.24 hereto, ENB and
each ENB Subsidiary:
(a) Is in compliance with all laws, rules,
regulations, reporting and licensing requirements, and orders applicable to its
business or employees conducting its business (including, but not limited to,
those relating to consumer disclosure and currency transaction reporting) the
breach or violation of which would or could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of ENB or any
ENB Subsidiary, or which would or could reasonably be expected to subject ENB
or any ENB Subsidiary or any of its directors or officers to civil money
penalties; and
(b) Has received no notification or communication
from any agency or department of federal, state, or local government or any of
the Regulatory Authorities, or the staff thereof (i) asserting that ENB or any
ENB Subsidiary is not in compliance with any of the statutes, rules,
regulations, or ordinances which such governmental authority or Regulatory
Authority enforces, which, as a result of such noncompliance, would result in a
material adverse impact on ENB or any ENB Subsidiary, (ii) threatening to
revoke any license, franchise, permit, or governmental authorization which is
material to the financial condition or operations of ENB or any ENB Subsidiary,
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 45

order, consent, agreement, or memorandum of understanding.
5.25 Employee Benefit Plans. (a) ENB has previously
provided to UPC true and complete copies of each "employee benefit plan," as
defined in ERISA, which, to the best of its knowledge, is subject to any
provision of ERISA and covers any employee, whether active or retired, of ENB
or any ENB Subsidiary, together with the most recent annual report (Form 5500
including, if applicable, Schedule B thereto) prepared in connection with any
such plan. Such plans are hereinafter referred to collectively as the
"Employee Plans", and each such Employee Plan is listed in Schedule 5.25(a)
hereto. Each Employee Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, is so qualified. Except as disclosed in
Schedule 5.25(a) hereto, all Employee Plans were in effect for substantially
all of calendar year 1994 and there has been no material amendment thereof
(other than amendments required to comply with applicable law) or material
increase in the cost thereof or benefits thereunder on or after January 1,
1995.
(b) ENB has furnished to UPC true and complete
copies and descriptions of each plan or arrangement maintained or otherwise
contributed to by ENB or any ENB Subsidiary which is not an Employee Plan and
which (exclusive of base salary and base wages) provides for any form of
current or deferred compensation, bonus, stock option, profit sharing, benefit,
retirement, incentive, group health or insurance, welfare plan (including, but
not limited to, "employee welfare benefit plans" as that term is defined in
ERISA), or similar plan or arrangement for the benefit of any employee or class
of employees, whether active or retired, of ENB or any ENB Subsidiary (such
plans and arrangements being collectively referred to herein as "Benefit
Arrangements" and all such Benefit Arrangements of ENB and ENB's Subsidiaries
are listed on Schedule 5.25(b) hereto). Except as disclosed in Schedule
5.25(b) hereto, there are no other Benefit Arrangements of the ENB Companies
and all Benefit Arrangements which are in effect were in effect for

respect to Benefit Arrangements no material amendment thereof or material
increase in the cost thereof or benefits payable thereunder on or after January
1, 1995, and no material increase in the base salary and wage levels of ENB or
any ENB Subsidiary and except in the ordinary course of business, no change in
the terms or conditions of employment (including severance benefits) compared,
in each case, to those prevailing for substantially all of calendar year 1994.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 46
<PAGE> 169
hereto, there has been no material increase in the compensation of or benefits
payable to any senior executive employee of ENB or any ENB Subsidiary since
January 1, 1995, nor any employment, severance or similar contract entered into
with any such employee, nor any amendment to any such contract, since January
1, 1995. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.25(b) hereto, there is no contract,
agreement or Benefit Arrangement covering any employee of ENB or any ENB
Subsidiary which individually or collectively could give rise to the payment of
any amount which would constitute an "excess parachute payment," as such term
is defined in Section 280(G) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(c) With respect to all Employee Plans and Benefit
Arrangements, ENB and each ENB Subsidiary are in substantial compliance with
the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, governmental or court
orders, or rules or regulations currently in effect, including but not limited
to ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, applicable to such Employee Plans or
Benefit Arrangements. No condition exists that could constitute grounds for
the termination of any Employee Plan under Section 4042 of ERISA; no
"prohibited transaction," as defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975
of the Internal Revenue Code, has occurred with respect to any Employee Plan,
or any other employee benefit plan maintained by ENB or any ENB Subsidiary
which is covered by Title I of ERISA, which could subject any person (other
than a person for whom neither ENB nor any ENB Subsidiary is directly or
indirectly responsible) to liability under Title I of ERISA or to the
imposition of any tax under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code which
could have an adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition,
results of operations or prospects of any ENB Company; no Employee Plan subject
to Part III of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or Section 412 of the Internal
Revenue Code, or both, has incurred any "accumulated funding deficiency," as
defined in Section 412 of the Code, whether or not waived; neither ENB nor any
ENB Subsidiary has failed to make any contribution or pay any amount due and
owing as required by the terms of any Employee Plan or Benefit Arrangement; no
Benefit Arrangement has incurred, nor does any Benefit Arrangement have, any
unfunded plan liabilities, whether or not waived; neither ENB nor any ENB
Subsidiary has incurred or expects to incur, directly or indirectly, any
liability under Title IV of ERISA arising in connection with the termination
of, or a complete or partial withdrawal from, any plan covered or previously
covered by Title IV of ERISA which could constitute a liability of UPC or any
of its Affiliates (including ENB or any ENB Subsidiary) at or after the
Effective Time of the Merger. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.25(c) hereto,
to the best knowledge, information and belief of ENB, no condition exists that
could subject any person (other than a person for whom neither ENB nor any ENB

Agreement with reasonable promptness. UPC shall pay all fees and expenses
arising in connection with such applications for regulatory approval. UPC

required by such authorities in connection with UPC's applications for
regulatory approval and UPC agrees to use its best efforts to obtain such

for the Closing, as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that nothing in
this Section 6.1 shall be construed to obligate UPC to take any action to meet
any condition required to obtain prior regulatory approval if UPC shall, in
UPC's sole discretion, deem such condition to be unreasonable or to constitute
a significant impediment upon UPC's ability to carry on its business or
acquisition programs or to require UPC to increase UPC's capital ratios to
amounts in excess of the Federal Reserve's minimum capital ratio guidelines

appropriate form of the SEC to be prepared and filed so as to cause any shares
of UPC Series E Preferred Stock which may be delivered to the ENB Record

to be duly qualified under appropriate state securities laws. UPC shall also

for trading on the NYSE the UPC Common Stock. Such registration, qualification

will be deemed service with UPC for purposes of determining eligibility for
participation and vesting in such employee benefit plans of UPC and UPC's
Subsidiaries. In its sole discretion, UPC may elect to postpone until the
first day of January next following the Effective Time of the Merger the
participation of the employees of ENB and ENB's Subsidiaries in the employee
benefit plans maintained by UPC or UPC's Subsidiaries; provided, however,
during any such postponement period, the ENB Employee Plans and all related
employee benefit plans shall continue in full force and effect, except as
expressly modified or amended by the terms of this Reorganization Agreement, or
until such time as the plan is replaced by a benefit plan maintained by UPC.
6.5 Indemnification. Subsequent to the Effective Time of
the Merger:
(a) UPC shall cause ENB to, and ENB shall, indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the present and former officers, directors, employees
and agents of ENB against all losses, expenses, claims, damages or liabilities
arising out of actions or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time
of the Merger, including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by
this Reorganization Agreement, to the full extent permitted by applicable law;
(b) In the event ENB should (i) consolidate or merge with

the result of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or
substantially all of its assets or liabilities to any person, association,
corporation or other legal entity, the obligations of UPC and ENB set forth in

assigns of, UPC and ENB resulting from such consolidation or merger; and
(c) UPC shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain
ENB's existing directors' and officers' liability insurance policy; provided,

parachute" or similar program which would have the effect of materially
decreasing the value of ENB or the benefits of acquiring the ENB Common Stock;

Schedule 8.2(j), appointing (upon ratification of the Board of Directors of

ENB (unless the failure to execute such agreements shall be due to the death,
disability or incapacity of Jose Valdes-Fauli), providing for a term of not
less than three (3) years and incorporating a non-compete clause covering the

in and has a present intention to do business in; and

transfer, devise, or otherwise alienate his right, title and interests in any

in connection therewith and which is not dismissed, concluded or resolved with
prejudice to the claimant within sixty (60) days from the filing of such claim,

contemplated by this Reorganization Agreement and the Merger Agreement will
qualify as a reverse triangular merger for purposes of Section 368(a)(1)(A) and

recorded as a tax-free reorganization to UPC, INTERIM and ENB.

Subsidiary fail to conduct its business pursuant to UPC's and INTERIM's
Covenants made in Article 6;
(c) By UPC, INTERIM or ENB in the event the

timely manner; provided, however, if UPC shall have delivered to the
appropriate Regulatory Authorities in preliminary form, in order to receive
pre-filing comments, any and all applications to obtain the requisite
Government Approvals no later than thirty (30) days following approval by the
ENB Shareholders, and if the Closing shall not have occurred solely because of
a delay caused by a government regulatory agency or authority in its review of
the application before it, then ENB shall, upon UPC's written request, extend
the Closing Date for a reasonable time in order for UPC to obtain all
Government Approvals and for the expiration of any stipulated waiting periods,
but in any event not later than June 30, 1996;
(d) By either UPC, INTERIM or ENB, upon written
notice to the other Party, upon denial of any Government Approval necessary for
the consummation of the Merger (or should such approval be conditioned upon a
substantial deviation from the transaction contemplated); provided, however,

of this Reorganization Agreement for only one sixty (60) day period to

of the instant transaction; or by ENB in the event that there shall have been,
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 67

in ENB's good faith opinion, a material adverse change in the business,
property, assets (including loan portfolios), liabilities (whether absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise), prospects, operations, liquidity, income,
condition (financial or otherwise) or net worth of UPC or INTERIM taken as a
whole;
(g) By UPC, INTERIM or ENB in the event that

formal capital plan requiring ENB to raise additional capital or to sell a
substantial portion of its assets; or by ENB should UPC or any UPC Subsidiary
enter into any formal agreement, letter of understanding, memorandum or other
similar arrangement with any bank regulatory authority establishing a formal
capital plan requiring UPC to raise additional capital or to sell a substantial
portion of its assets.
If a Party should elect to terminate this Reorganization Agreement pursuant to

Reorganization Agreement shall not be assignable by any of the Parties hereto;
provided, however, that UPC may assign, set over and transfer all, or any part
of its rights and obligations under this Reorganization Agreement to any one or

shall not change the form or nature of Consideration to be received by the ENB
Record Holders. This Reorganization Agreement shall inure to the benefit of,
and be binding only upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns and no other Persons.

be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal
laws, and not the laws pertaining to choice or conflicts of laws, of the State
of Tennessee, unless and to the extent that federal law controls. Any dispute

deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.
10.5 Best Efforts. ENB, UPC and INTERIM each agrees to
use its best efforts to complete the transactions contemplated by this
Reorganization Agreement; provided, however, that the use of best efforts by
UPC or INTERIM shall not obligate UPC or INTERIM to obtain or to provide UPC or
INTERIM additional capital in an amount, to divest any Subsidiary or branch, or
to meet any other condition which may be imposed by any Regulatory Authority as
a condition to approval which UPC or INTERIM shall deem, in good faith, to be
unreasonable in the circumstances.
10.6 Publicity. The Parties agree that press releases
and other public announcements to be made by any of them with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be subject to mutual agreement.
10.7 Entire Agreement. This Reorganization Agreement,

Annexes, Exhibits and certificates
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 70
<PAGE> 193
required to be delivered hereunder and any amendments or addenda hereafter
executed and delivered in accordance with Section 10.9 hereof constitute the
entire agreement of the Parties hereto pertaining to the transaction
contemplated hereby and supersede all prior written and oral (and all
contemporaneous oral) agreements and understandings of the Parties hereto
concerning the subject matter hereof. The Schedules, Annexes, Exhibits and
certificates attached hereto or furnished pursuant to this Reorganization
Agreement are hereby incorporated as integral parts of this Reorganization
Agreement. Except as provided herein, by specific language and not by mere
implication, this Reorganization Agreement is not intended to confer upon any
other person not a Party to this Reorganization Agreement any rights or
remedies hereunder.
10.8 Severability. If any portion or provision of this
Reorganization Agreement should be determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such
portion or provision shall be ineffective as to that jurisdiction to the extent
of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any
way the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions or provisions
hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other portions or
provisions of this Reorganization Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any other jurisdiction.
10.9 Modifications, Amendments and Waivers. At any time
prior to the Closing or termination of this Reorganization Agreement, the
Parties may, to the extent permitted by law, solely by written agreement
executed by their duly authorized officers:
(a) extend the time for the performance of any of
the obligations or other acts of the other Party hereto;
(b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations
and warranties made by the other Party contained in this Reorganization
Agreement or in the Annexes, Schedules or Exhibits hereto or any other document
delivered pursuant to this Reorganization Agreement;

agreements of the other Party contained in this Reorganization Agreement; and

an agreement in writing signed by the Parties hereto or their respective
successors in interest
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 71
<PAGE> 194
and expressly stating that it is an amendment to this Reorganization Agreement.
10.10 Interpretation. The headings contained in this
Reorganization Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect
in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Reorganization Agreement.
10.11 Payment of Expenses. Except as set forth herein, UPC
and ENB shall each pay its own fees and expenses (including, without
limitation, legal fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereunder.
10.12 Finders and Brokers. UPC, INTERIM and ENB represent
and warrant to each other that, except for the engagement by ENB of The
Robinson-Humphrey Company, Inc. as its financial advisor, they have employed no
broker or finder in connection with the transactions described in this
Reorganization Agreement under an arrangement pursuant to which a fee is, or
may be due to such broker or finder as a result of the execution of this
Reorganization Agreement or the closing of the transaction contemplated herein.
This section shall survive the termination of this Reorganization Agreement.
10.13 Equitable Remedies. The Parties hereto agree that, in
the event of a breach of this Reorganization Agreement by ENB, UPC and INTERIM
will be without an adequate remedy at law by reason of the unique nature of
ENB. In recognition thereof, in addition to (and not in lieu of) any remedies
at law which may be available to UPC and INTERIM, UPC and INTERIM shall be
entitled to obtain equitable relief, including the remedies of specific
performance and injunction, in the event of a breach of this Reorganization
Agreement by ENB, and no attempt on the part of UPC or INTERIM to obtain such
equitable relief shall be deemed to constitute an election of remedies by UPC
or INTERIM which would preclude UPC or INTERIM from obtaining any remedies at
law to which it would otherwise be entitled. ENB covenants that it shall not
contend in any such proceeding that UPC or INTERIM is not entitled to a decree
of specific performance by reason of having an adequate remedy at law.
10.14 Attorneys' Fees. If any Party hereto shall bring an
action at law or in equity to enforce its rights under this Reorganization
Agreement (including an action based upon a misrepresentation or the breach of
any warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained herein), the
prevailing Party in such action shall be entitled to recover from the other
Party its reasonable costs and expenses necessarily incurred in connection with
such action (including fees, disbursements and expenses of attorneys and costs
of investigation).
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION - PAGE 72
<PAGE> 195
10.15 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties made by the Parties hereto or in any instrument
or document furnished in connection herewith, shall survive the Closing and any
investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the Parties hereto and shall
expire at the Effective Time of the Merger except as to any matter which is
based upon willful fraud with respect to which the representations and
warranties set forth in this Reorganization Agreement shall expire only upon
expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation. Nothing in this Section
10.15 shall limit ENB's, UPC's or INTERIM's rights or remedies for
misrepresentations, breaches of this Reorganization Agreement or any other
improper action or inaction by the other Party hereto prior to its termination.
10.16 No Waiver. No failure, delay or omission of or by any
Party in exercising any right, power or remedy upon any breach or default of
any other Party shall impair any such rights, powers or remedies of the Party
not in breach or default, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such
right, power or remedy, or an acquiescence in any similar breach or default;
nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any
other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver,
permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Party
of any provisions of this Reorganization Agreement must be in writing and must
be executed by the Parties to this Reorganization Agreement and shall be
effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
10.17 Remedies Cumulative. All remedies provided in this
Reorganization Agreement, by law or otherwise, shall be cumulative and not
alternative.

Gentlemen:
This refers to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of April 25,
1995 (the "Agreement") between Union Planters Corporation ("UPC"); ENB Interim
National Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UPC; and Eastern National Bank
("ENB") and others. This letter is intended to set forth certain amendments,
clarifications, additional agreements and undertakings of each of the above
parties and each of such parties agrees that this letter shall become and be an
integral part of the Agreement (as referred to in Section 10.7 thereof) and is
being delivered by the parties in order to eliminate any inequities occasioned
by a material increase subsequent to the Pricing Period in the market value of
UPC's 8% Cumulative, Convertible Preferred Stock, Series E (the "UPC Series E
Preferred Stock") shares of which are to be delivered as a portion of the
Consideration to be received by certain of the Shareholders of ENB in the
Merger. All terms used herein without definition shall have the same meaning
as ascribed in the Agreement.
Accordingly, in consideration of the parties having entered into the Agreement
and for other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, it is hereby further agreed that the following
amendments shall be made to the Agreement:
A. The second full paragraph on page 19 of the Agreement (as revised and
reexecuted on June 30, 1995) shall be amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:
The Exchange Ratios shall be based on an aggregate of no more than
456,250 shares of ENB Common Stock being issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger; provided,
however, that no certificate representing less than one hundred (100)
shares of UPC Series E Preferred Stock and no certificate representing
fractional shares of UPC Series E Preferred Stock shall be issued and
if, after aggregating all of the shares and fractional shares of UPC
Series E Preferred Stock to which an ENB Record Holder shall be
entitled based upon the Series E Exchange Ratio,
<PAGE> 212
there should be less than 100 full shares of UPC Series E Preferred
Stock or a fractional share of UPC Series E Preferred Stock remaining,
such whole shares and any fractional share shall be settled by a cash
payment therefor based upon the highest price at which one or more
full shares of the Series E Preferred Stock shall trade through the
NASDAQ/NMS on the Effective Date of the Merger (or, if the Effective
Date should not be a day on which the NASDAQ/NMS is open for business,
the next day on which the UPC Series E Preferred Stock trades through
the NASDAQ/NMS) for each full share of UPC Series E Preferred Stock;
provided, further, that UPC shall not issue any UPC Negotiable Note of
any series having a principal amount less than $100,000.00 and if,
after aggregating the principal amount of any series of UPC Negotiable
Note to which an ENB Record Holder would be entitled based upon the
Negotiable Note Exchange Ratios, there should be a principal amount of
less than $100,000.00 remaining with respect to such series, such
principal amount of less than $100,000.00 shall be settled by a cash
payment therefor based upon a value of $15.90 per share of ENB Common
Stock with respect to any Series I Note, $12.61 per share of ENB
Common Stock with respect to any Series II Note and $3.29 per share of
ENB Common Stock with respect to any Series III Note so exchanged.

Gentlemen:
In connection with the proposed acquisition of Eastern National Bank
("ENB") by Union Planters Corporation ("UPC") (the "Merger"), you have asked us
to render an opinion as to whether the financial terms of the Merger, as
provided in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as April 25, 1995
among such parties (the "Merger Agreement"), are fair, from a financial point
of view, to the stockholders of ENB. Under the terms of the Merger, ENB will
be acquired for total consideration, in cash and securities, of $29,000,000.
Our firm, as part of its investment banking business, is frequently
involved in the valuation of securities as related to public underwritings,
private placements, mergers, acquisitions, recapitalizations and other
purposes.
In connection with our study for rendering this opinion, we have
reviewed the Merger Agreement, ENB's financial results for fiscal years 1989
through 1994, and certain documents and information we deem relevant to our
analysis. We have also held discussions with senior management of ENB for the
purpose of reviewing the historical and current operations of, and outlook for
ENB, industry trends, the terms of the proposed Merger, and related matters.
We have also studied published financial data concerning certain other
publicly traded financial institutions which we deem comparable to ENB as well
as certain financial data relating to acquisitions of other financial
institutions that we deem relevant or comparable. In addition, we have
reviewed other published information, performed certain financial analyses and
considered other factors and information which we deem relevant.
We have reviewed similar information and data relating to UPC,
including its historical financial statements, from fiscal 1989 through 1994.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon the accuracy of the
Merger Agreement, the financial information listed above, and other information
furnished to us by ENB and UPC. We have not separately verified this
information nor have we made an independent evaluation of any of the assets or
liabilities of ENB and UPC.
<PAGE> 217
Based upon the foregoing and upon current market and economic
conditions, we are of the opinion that, from a financial point of view, the
terms of the Merger as provided in the Merger Agreement are fair to the
stockholders of ENB.
Very truly yours,
/s/ The Robinson-Humphrey Company, Inc.

UNITED STATES CODE ANNOTATED, TITLE 12, SECTION 215
PROVIDING FOR SHAREHOLDERS' DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
<PAGE> 219
(B) LIABILITY OF CONSOLIDATED ASSOCIATION; CAPITAL STOCK;
DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS
The consolidated association shall be liable for all liabilities of
the respective consolidating banks or associations. The capital stock of such
consolidated association shall not be less than that required under existing
law for the organization of a national bank in the place in which it is
located: Provided, That if such consolidation shall be voted for at such
meetings by the necessary majorities of the shareholders of each association
and State bank proposing to consolidate, and thereafter the consolidation shall
be approved by the Comptroller, any shareholder of any of the associations or
State banks so consolidated who has voted against such consolidation at the
meeting of the association or bank of which he is a stockholder, or who has
given notice in writing at or prior to such meeting to the presiding officer
that he dissents from the plan of consolidation, shall be entitled to receive
the value of the shares so held by him when such consolidation is approved by
the Comptroller upon written request made to the consolidated association at
any time before thirty days after the date of consummation of the
consolidation, accompanied by the surrender of his stock certificates.
(C) VALUATION OF SHARES
The value of the shares of any dissenting shareholder shall be
ascertained, as of the effective date of the consolidation, by an appraisal
made by a committee of three persons, composed of (1) one selected by the vote
of the holders of the majority of the stock, the owners of which are entitled
to payment in cash; (2) one selected by the directors of the consolidated
banking association; and (3) one selected by the two so selected. The
valuation agreed upon by any two of the three appraisers shall govern. If the
value so fixed shall not be satisfactory to any dissenting shareholder who has
requested payment, that shareholder may, within five days after being notified
of the appraised value of his shares, appeal to the Comptroller, who shall
cause a reappraisal to be made which shall be final and binding as to the value
of the shares of the appellant.
(D) APPRAISAL BY COMPTROLLER; EXPENSES OF CONSOLIDATED
ASSOCIATION; SALE AND RESALE OF SHARES; STATE APPRAISAL AND CONSOLIDATION LAW
If, within ninety days from the date of consummation of the
consolidation, for any reason one or more of the appraisers is not selected as
herein provided, or the appraisers fail to determine the value of such shares,
the Comptroller shall upon written request of any interested party cause an
appraisal to be made which shall be final and binding on all parties. The
expenses of the Comptroller in making the reappraisal or the appraisal, as the
case may be, shall be paid by the consolidated banking association. The value
of the shares ascertained shall be promptly paid to the dissenting shareholders
by the consolidated banking association. Within thirty days after payment has
been made to all dissenting shareholders as provided for in this section the
shares of stock of the consolidated banking association which would have been
delivered to such dissenting shareholders had they not requested payment shall
be sold by the consolidated banking association at an advertised public
auction, unless some other method of sale is approved by the Comptroller, and
the consolidated banking association shall have the right to purchase any of
such shares at such public auction if it is the highest bidder therefor, for
the purpose of reselling such shares within thirty days thereafter to such
person or persons and at such price not less than par as its board of directors
by resolution may determine. If the shares are sold at public auction at a
price greater than the amount paid to the dissenting shareholders the excess in
such sale price shall be paid to such shareholders. The appraisal of such
shares of stock in any State bank shall be determined in the manner prescribed
by the law of the State in such cases, rather than as
<PAGE> 220
provided in this section, if such provision is made in the State law; and no
such consolidation shall be in contravention of the law of the State under
which such bank is incorporated.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Restated Charter of the Registrant provides as follows:
TWELFTH: INDEMNIFICATION OF CERTAIN PERSONS:
To the fullest extent permitted by Tennessee law, the Corporation may indemnify
or purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents and any persons who may serve at the request of the
Corporation as directors, officers, employees, trustees or agents of any other
corporation, firm, association, national banking association, state-chartered
bank, trust company, business trust, organization or any other type of entity
whether or not the Corporation shall have any ownership interest in such
entity. Such indemnification(s) may be provided for in the Bylaws, or by
resolution of the Board of Directors or by appropriate contract with the person
involved.
Article V, INDEMNIFICATION, of the Registrant's Bylaws provides as follows:
The Corporation does hereby indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by the laws of the State of Tennessee and by ARTICLE TWELFTH
of its Charter. The Corporation may indemnify any other person to the extent
permitted by the Charter and by applicable law.
Indemnification of corporate directors and officers is governed by Sections
48-18-501 through 48-18-509 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act (the
"Act"). Under the Act, a person may be indemnified by a corporation against
judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with
any threatened or pending suit or proceeding or any appeal thereof (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation), whether civil or criminal, by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or
officer, employee or agent of another corporation of any type or kind, domestic
or foreign, if such director or officer acted in good faith for a purpose which
he reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation and, in
criminal actions or proceedings only, in addition, had no reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Tennessee corporation may indemnify a
director or officer thereof in a suit by or in the right of the corporation

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
II-2
<PAGE> 223
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(2) That for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as a part of this registration statement in reliance
upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the
Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(3) That for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a
form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel, the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(5) To respond to requests for information that is
incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4,
10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form S-4, within one business day of receipt
of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class
mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information
contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the
registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(6) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all
information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired
involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the
registration statement when it became effective.

$_________________ __________, 1995
Memphis, Tennessee
UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Tennessee (hereinafter, referred to as "UPC"), for
value received, promises to pay to the order of _________________________, a
holder of record of shares of the common stock, $16.00 par value per share,
of Eastern National Bank ("ENB") immediately prior to the effective date of
the merger of a subsidiary of UPC with and into ENB (the "Holder") and
such Holder's heirs, successors and assigns, the principal sum of
_________________________________________________________ and __/100 DOLLARS
($___________) together with interest accruing thereon from _____________, 1995
to and including the payment date on which payment of said principal sum and
all accrued interest thereon shall have been made in full at the rate of eight
(8%) percent. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve thirty (30) day months.
Principal and interest hereunder shall be paid as follows:
As to Interest: Accrued interest shall be payable on the
first day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the
calendar quarter next succeeding the date hereof and
continuing on the first day of each January, April, July and
September thereafter.
As to Principal: The entire outstanding principal
balance together with accrued but unpaid interest shall be due
and payable in full on the date which shall be the one-year
anniversary date of the effective date of the merger of ENB
Interim National Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UPC
("Interim") with and into Eastern National Bank, a national
banking association ("ENB") (the "Maturity Date").
<PAGE> 2
UPC shall have the privilege, at any time and from time to time, of
prepaying, in whole or in part, the then outstanding principal balance
hereunder without penalty or premium. Prepayments will be applied first to the
payment of all outstanding interest due hereunder.
All installments, prepayments and payments of principal and interest
under this Note shall be remitted only to the Holder hereof whose name and
address appear on the books of the payor, and are payable in such coin or
currency of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for the
payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment.
Transfers of this Note shall be valid only if made pursuant to the delivery of
a written notice to the payor advising the payor of the name and address of the
transferee, together with the surrender of this Note to the payor. Upon
receipt of the foregoing items, the payor shall record the name and address of
the transferee on its books, shall deliver this Note to the transferee, and
shall acknowledge the transfer in a written notice sent to the transferee.
If (1) default should be made in the payment of any principal provided
for herein or in the payment of any installment of interest or any other sum
payable pursuant to the terms of this Note, or (2) UPC should be adjudicated
bankrupt or insolvent or shall voluntarily file a petition for the benefit of
its creditors, or (3) UPC shall be placed in conservatorship or receivership by
any regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the business and affairs of UPC,
or, then or at any time thereafter, while such breach or default shall exist,
at the option of the Holder, the whole of the principal sum then remaining
unpaid hereunder, together with all interest accrued thereon, shall immediately
become due and payable without notice. The events specified in clauses (1),
(2) and (3) of the foregoing sentence shall be referred to herein as "Events of
Default."
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Default, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and any interest or
other amounts owing hereunder shall bear interest until paid at the lesser of
(i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum, or (ii) the maximum interest rate
permitted by applicable law, if any.
Interest payments made under this Note will be subject to withholding
of applicable federal income taxes unless the Holder provides UPC: (i) with the
Holder's United States federal taxpayer identification number; or (ii) with a
statement that the Holder is not a United States person in a manner reasonably
acceptable to UPC and authority which in the opinion of UPC, is sufficient to
establish that UPC is not required to withhold under applicable law. If the
Holder provides UPC with either of the foregoing items of information, UPC
shall not withhold any amounts with respect to sums due under this Note.
This Note is one of the promissory notes designated as the UPC
Negotiable Notes, Series I (the "Series I Notes") delivered pursuant to the
