Bank of America Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
     Bank of America Corporation (collectively, with its subsidiaries, the Corporation), a financial holding company, provides a diverse range of financial services and products throughout the U.S. and in certain international markets. The Corporation conducts these activities through its banking and nonbanking subsidiaries. On January 1, 2009, the Corporation acquired Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. (Merrill Lynch) in exchange for common and preferred stock with a value of $29.1 billion. On July 1, 2008, the Corporation acquired Countrywide Financial Corporation (Countrywide) in exchange for common stock with a value of $4.2 billion. At June 30, 2010, the Corporation operated its banking activities primarily under two charters: Bank of America, National Association (Bank of America, N.A.) and FIA Card Services, N.A. In connection with certain acquisitions including Merrill Lynch and Countrywide, the Corporation acquired banking subsidiaries that have been merged into Bank of America, N.A. with no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
     The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries, and those variable interest entities (VIEs) where the Corporation is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Results of operations, assets and liabilities of acquired companies are included from the dates of acquisition. Results of operations, assets and liabilities of VIEs are included from the date that the Corporation became the primary beneficiary. Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Corporation accounts for investments in companies for which it owns a voting interest of 20 percent to 50 percent and for which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financing decisions using the equity method of accounting. These investments are included in other assets and are subject to impairment testing. The Corporation’s proportionate share of income or loss is included in equity investment income.
     The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Realized results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
     These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Corporation’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The nature of the Corporation’s business is such that the results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results have been made. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
     In March 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance on embedded credit derivatives. This new accounting guidance clarifies the scope exception for embedded credit derivatives and defines which embedded credit derivatives are required to be evaluated for bifurcation and separate accounting. This new accounting guidance was effective on July 1, 2010. Upon adoption, companies may elect the fair value option for any beneficial interests, including those that would otherwise require bifurcation under the new guidance. In connection with the adoption on July 1, 2010, the Corporation elected the fair value option for $629 million of debt securities, principally collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), that otherwise may be subject to bifurcation under the new guidance. Accordingly, the Corporation recorded a $232 million charge to retained earnings on July 1, 2010 to reflect the after-tax cumulative effect of the change.
     In July 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that requires additional disclosures about a company’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The additional disclosures include a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on a disaggregated basis and more information, by type of receivable, on credit quality indicators including aging and troubled debt restructurings as well as significant purchases and sales. These new disclosures are effective for the 2010 annual report. This new accounting guidance does not change the accounting model, and accordingly, will have no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
     On January 1, 2010, the Corporation adopted new FASB accounting guidance on transfers of financial assets and consolidation of VIEs. This new accounting guidance revises sale accounting criteria for transfers of financial assets, including elimination of the concept of and accounting for qualifying special purpose entities (QSPEs), and significantly changes the criteria for consolidation of a VIE. The adoption of this new accounting guidance resulted in the consolidation of certain VIEs that previously were QSPEs and VIEs that were not recorded on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance

Table of Contents

Sheet prior to January 1, 2010. The adoption of this new accounting guidance resulted in a net incremental increase in assets of $100.4 billion and a net increase in liabilities of $106.7 billion. These amounts are net of retained interests in securitizations held on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2009 and net of a $10.8 billion increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses. The Corporation recorded a $6.2 billion charge, net of tax, to retained earnings on January 1, 2010 for the cumulative effect of the adoption of this new accounting guidance, which resulted principally from the increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses, and a $116 million charge to accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI). Initial recording of these assets, related allowance and liabilities on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet had no impact at the date of adoption on the consolidated results of operations.
     Application of the new consolidation guidance has been deferred indefinitely for certain investment funds managed on behalf of third parties if the Corporation does not have an obligation to fund losses that could potentially be significant to these funds. Application of the new consolidation guidance has also been deferred if the funds must comply with guidelines similar to those included in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. These funds, which include the cash funds managed within Global Wealth & Investment Management (GWIM), will continue to be evaluated for consolidation in accordance with the prior guidance.
     On January 1, 2010, the Corporation elected to early adopt, on a prospective basis, new FASB accounting guidance stating that troubled debt restructuring (TDR) accounting cannot be applied to individual loans within purchased credit-impaired loan pools. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.
     On January 1, 2010, the Corporation adopted new FASB accounting guidance that requires disclosure of gross transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and adds a requirement to disclose significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The new accounting guidance also clarifies existing disclosure requirements regarding the level of disaggregation of fair value measurements and inputs, and valuation techniques. These enhanced disclosures required under this new guidance are included in Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements. Beginning in 2011, this new accounting guidance also requires separate presentation of purchases, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation table.
Significant Accounting Policies
Securities Financing Agreements
     Securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell and securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase (securities financing agreements) are treated as collateralized financing transactions. These agreements are recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest, except for certain securities financing agreements that the Corporation accounts for under the fair value option. Changes in the value of securities financing agreements that are accounted for under the fair value option are recorded in other income. For more information on securities financing agreements that the Corporation accounts for under the fair value option, see Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements.
     The Corporation’s policy is to obtain possession of collateral with a market value equal to or in excess of the principal amount loaned under resale agreements. To ensure that the market value of the underlying collateral remains sufficient, collateral is generally valued daily and the Corporation may require counterparties to deposit additional collateral or may return collateral pledged when appropriate.
     Substantially all securities financing agreements are transacted under master repurchase agreements which give the Corporation, in the event of default by the counterparty, the right to liquidate securities held and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. The Corporation offsets securities financing agreements with the same counterparty on the Consolidated Balance Sheet where it has such a master agreement. In transactions where the Corporation acts as the lender in a securities lending agreement and receives securities that can be pledged or sold as collateral, it recognizes an asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value, representing the securities received, and a liability for the same amount, representing the obligation to return those securities.
     At the end of certain quarterly periods during the three years ended December 31, 2009, the Corporation had recorded certain sales of agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) which, based on a more recent internal review and interpretation, should have been recorded as secured borrowings. These periods and amounts were as follows: March 31, 2009 – $573 million; September 30, 2008 – $10.7 billion; December 31, 2007 – $2.1 billion; and March 31, 2007 – $4.5 billion. As the

9


Table of Contents

transferred securities were recorded at fair value in trading account assets, the change would have had no impact on consolidated results of operations. Had the sales been recorded as secured borrowings, trading account assets and federal funds purchased and securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase would have increased by the amount of the transactions, however, the increase in all cases was less than 0.7 percent of total assets or total liabilities. Accordingly, the Corporation believes that these transactions did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
     In repurchase transactions, typically, the termination date for a repurchase agreement is before the maturity date of the underlying security. However, in certain situations, the Corporation may enter into repurchase agreements where the termination date of the repurchase transaction is the same as the maturity date of the underlying security and these transactions are referred to as “repo-to-maturity” (RTM) transactions. The Corporation enters into RTM transactions only for high quality, very liquid securities such as U.S. Treasury securities or securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises (GSE). The Corporation accounts for RTM transactions as sales in accordance with GAAP, and accordingly, removes the securities from the Consolidated Balance Sheet and recognizes a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Income. At June 30, 2010, the Corporation had no outstanding RTM transactions compared to $6.5 billion at December 31, 2009, that had been accounted for as sales.
Variable Interest Entities
     The entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. Prior to January 1, 2010, the primary beneficiary was the entity that would absorb a majority of the economic risks and rewards of the VIE based on an analysis of projected probability-weighted cash flows. In accordance with the new accounting guidance on consolidation of VIEs and transfers of financial assets (new consolidation guidance) effective January 1, 2010, the Corporation is deemed to have a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. On a quarterly basis, the Corporation reassesses whether it has a controlling financial interest in and is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The quarterly reassessment process considers whether the Corporation has acquired or divested the power to direct the activities of the VIE through changes in governing documents or other circumstances. The reassessment also considers whether the Corporation has acquired or disposed of a financial interest that could be significant to the VIE, or whether an interest in the VIE has become significant or is no longer significant. The consolidation status of the VIEs with which the Corporation is involved may change as a result of such reassessments.
     Retained interests in securitized assets are initially recorded at fair value. Prior to 2010, retained interests were initially recorded at an allocated cost basis in proportion to the relative fair values of the assets sold and interests retained. In addition, the Corporation may invest in debt securities issued by unconsolidated VIEs. Quoted market prices are primarily used to obtain fair values of these debt securities, which are classified in available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities or trading account assets. Generally, quoted market prices for retained residual interests are not available, therefore, the Corporation estimates fair values based on the present value of the associated expected future cash flows. This may require management to estimate credit losses, prepayment speeds, forward interest yield curves, discount rates and other factors that impact the value of retained interests. Retained residual interests in unconsolidated securitization trusts are classified in trading account assets or other assets with changes in fair value recorded in income. The Corporation may also purchase credit protection from unconsolidated VIEs in the form of credit default swaps or other derivatives, which are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income.
NOTE 2 - Merger and Restructuring Activity
Merrill Lynch
     On January 1, 2009, the Corporation acquired Merrill Lynch through its merger with a subsidiary of the Corporation in exchange for common and preferred stock with a value of $29.1 billion. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Merrill Lynch common shareholders received 0.8595 of a share of Bank of America Corporation common stock in exchange for each share of Merrill Lynch common stock. In addition, Merrill Lynch non-convertible preferred shareholders received Bank of America Corporation preferred stock having substantially identical terms. Merrill Lynch convertible preferred stock remains outstanding and is convertible into Bank of America Corporation common stock at an equivalent exchange ratio.

     The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the Merrill Lynch acquisition date as summarized in the following table. Goodwill of $5.1 billion was calculated as the purchase premium after adjusting for the fair value of net assets acquired. No goodwill is deductible for federal income tax purposes. The goodwill was allocated principally to the GWIM and Global Banking & Markets (GBAM) business segments.

Merger and Restructuring Charges and Reserves
     Merger and restructuring charges are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income and include incremental costs to integrate the operations of the Corporation and its recent acquisitions. These charges represent costs associated with these one-time activities and do not represent ongoing costs of the fully integrated combined organization. On January 1, 2009, the Corporation adopted new accounting guidance on business combinations, on a prospective basis, that requires that acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs be charged to expense as incurred. Previously, these expenses were recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.
     The following table presents severance and employee-related charges, systems integrations and related charges, and other merger-related charges.

ALM and Risk Management Derivatives
     The Corporation’s asset and liability management (ALM) and risk management activities include the use of derivatives to mitigate risk to the Corporation including both derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments and economic hedges. Interest rate, commodity, credit and foreign exchange contracts are utilized in the Corporation’s ALM and risk management activities.
     The Corporation maintains an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of interest rate contracts, which are generally non-leveraged generic interest rate and basis swaps, options, futures and forwards, to minimize significant fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. Interest rate contracts are used by the Corporation in the management of its interest rate risk position. The Corporation’s goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity so that movements in interest rates do not significantly adversely affect earnings. As a result of interest rate fluctuations, hedged fixed-rate assets and liabilities appreciate or depreciate in fair value. Gains or losses on the derivative instruments that are linked to the hedged fixed-rate assets and liabilities are expected to substantially offset this unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

     Interest rate and market risk can be substantial in the mortgage business. Market risk is the risk that values of mortgage assets or revenues will be adversely affected by changes in market conditions such as interest rate movements. To hedge interest rate risk in mortgage banking production income, the Corporation utilizes forward loan sale commitments and other derivative instruments including purchased options. The Corporation also utilizes derivatives such as interest rate options, interest rate swaps, forward settlement contracts and euro-dollar futures as economic hedges of the fair value of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs). For additional information on MSRs, see Note 16 - Mortgage Servicing Rights.
     The Corporation uses foreign currency contracts to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with certain foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, as well as the Corporation’s investments in foreign subsidiaries. Foreign exchange contracts, which include spot and forward contracts, represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon settlement date. Exposure to loss on these contracts will increase or decrease over their respective lives as currency exchange and interest rates fluctuate.
     The Corporation enters into derivative commodity contracts such as futures, swaps, options and forwards as well as non-derivative commodity contracts to provide price risk management services to customers or to manage price risk associated with its physical and financial commodity positions. The non-derivative commodity contracts and physical inventories of commodities expose the Corporation to earnings volatility. Cash flow and fair value accounting hedges provide a method to mitigate a portion of this earnings volatility.
     The Corporation purchases credit derivatives to manage credit risk related to certain funded and unfunded credit exposures. Credit derivatives include credit default swaps, total return swaps and swaptions. These derivatives are accounted for as economic hedges and changes in fair value are recorded in other income.

Derivatives Designated as Accounting Hedges
     The Corporation uses various types of interest rate, commodity and foreign exchange derivative contracts to protect against changes in the fair value of its assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices (fair value hedges). The Corporation also uses these types of contracts and equity derivatives to protect against changes in the cash flows of its assets and liabilities, and other forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges). The Corporation hedges its net investment in consolidated foreign operations determined to have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar using forward exchange contracts, cross-currency basis swaps, and by issuing foreign currency-denominated debt (net investment hedges).
     The following table summarizes certain information related to the Corporation’s derivatives designated as fair value hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

     The following table summarizes certain information related to the Corporation’s derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and net investment hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. During the next 12 months, net losses in accumulated OCI of approximately $1.2 billion ($735 million after-tax) on derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings. These net losses reclassified into earnings are expected to primarily reduce net interest income related to the respective hedged items.

     The Corporation entered into total return swaps to hedge a portion of cash-settled restricted stock units (RSUs) granted to certain employees in the three months ended March 31, 2010 as part of their 2009 compensation. These cash-settled RSUs are accrued as liabilities over the vesting period and adjusted to fair value based on changes in the share price of the Corporation’s common stock. The Corporation entered into the derivatives to minimize the change in the expense to the Corporation driven by fluctuations in the

Table of Contents

share price of the Corporation’s common stock during the vesting period of the RSUs. Certain of these derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges of unrecognized non-vested awards with the changes in fair value of the hedge recorded in accumulated OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period as the RSUs affect earnings. The remaining derivatives are accounted for as economic hedges and changes in fair value are recorded in personnel expense. For more information on restricted stock units and related hedges, see Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity and Earnings Per Common Share.
Economic Hedges
     Derivatives designated as economic hedges are used by the Corporation to reduce certain risk exposures but are not accounted for as accounting hedges. The following table presents gains (losses) on these derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. These gains (losses) are largely offset by the income or expense that is recorded on the economically hedged item. Gains (losses) on derivatives related to price risk on mortgage banking production income and interest rate risk on mortgage banking servicing income are recorded in mortgage banking income. Gains (losses) on derivatives and bonds related to credit risk on loans are recorded in other income, trading account profits and net interest income. Gains (losses) on derivatives related to interest rate and foreign currency risk on long-term debt and other foreign currency exchange transactions are recorded in other income and trading account profits. Gains (losses) on other economic hedge transactions are recorded in other income, trading account profits and personnel expense.

Sales and Trading Revenue
     The Corporation enters into trading derivatives to facilitate client transactions, for principal trading purposes, and to manage risk exposures arising from trading assets and liabilities. It is the Corporation’s policy to include these derivative instruments in its trading activities which include derivatives and non-derivative cash instruments. The resulting risk from these derivatives is managed on a portfolio basis as part of the Corporation’s GBAM business segment. The related sales and trading revenue generated within GBAM is recorded on various income statement line items including trading account profits and net interest income as well as other revenue categories. However, the vast majority of income related to derivative instruments is recorded in trading account profits. The following table identifies the amounts in the income statement line items attributable to the Corporation’s sales and trading revenue categorized by primary risk for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Credit Derivatives
     The Corporation enters into credit derivatives primarily to facilitate client transactions and to manage credit risk exposures. Credit derivatives derive value based on an underlying third party-referenced obligation or a portfolio of referenced obligations and generally require the Corporation as the seller of credit protection to make payments to a buyer upon the occurrence of a predefined credit event. Such credit events generally include bankruptcy of the referenced credit entity and failure to pay under the obligation, as well as acceleration of indebtedness and payment repudiation or moratorium. For credit derivatives based on a portfolio of referenced credits or credit indices, the Corporation may not be required to make payment until a specified amount of loss has occurred and/or may only be required to make payment up to a specified amount.

     The notional amount represents the maximum amount payable by the Corporation for most credit derivatives. However, the Corporation does not solely monitor its exposure to credit derivatives based on notional amount because this measure does not take into consideration the probability of occurrence. As such, the notional amount is not a reliable indicator of the Corporation’s exposure to these contracts. Instead, a risk framework is used to define risk tolerances and establish limits to help ensure that certain credit risk-related losses occur within acceptable, predefined limits.
     The Corporation economically hedges its market risk exposure to credit derivatives by entering into a variety of offsetting derivative contracts and security positions. For example, in certain instances, the Corporation may purchase

credit protection with identical underlying referenced names to offset its exposure. The carrying value and notional amount of written credit derivatives for which the Corporation held purchased credit derivatives with identical underlying referenced names and terms at June 30, 2010 was $72.1 billion and $1.7 trillion compared to $79.4 billion and $2.3 trillion at December 31, 2009.
Credit Risk Management of Derivatives and Credit-related Contingent Features
     The Corporation executes the majority of its derivative contracts in the over-the-counter market with large, international financial institutions, including broker/dealers and, to a lesser degree, with a variety of non-financial companies. Substantially all of the derivative transactions are executed on a daily margin basis. Therefore, events such as a credit ratings downgrade (depending on the ultimate rating level) or a breach of credit covenants would typically require an increase in the amount of collateral required of the counterparty, where applicable, and/or allow the Corporation to take additional protective measures such as early termination of all trades. Further, as previously described on page 14, the Corporation enters into legally enforceable master netting agreements which reduce risk by permitting the closeout and netting of transactions with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of certain events.
     Substantially all of the Corporation’s derivative contracts contain credit risk-related contingent features, primarily in the form of International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master agreements that enhance the creditworthiness of these instruments as compared to other obligations of the respective counterparty with whom the Corporation has transacted (e.g., other debt or equity). These contingent features may be for the benefit of the Corporation, as well as its counterparties with respect to changes in the Corporation’s creditworthiness. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation received cash and securities collateral of $81.9 billion and $74.6 billion, and posted cash and securities collateral of $74.5 billion and $69.1 billion in the normal course of business under derivative agreements.
     In connection with certain over-the-counter derivative contracts and other trading agreements, the Corporation could be required to provide additional collateral or to terminate transactions with certain counterparties in the event of a downgrade of the senior debt ratings of Bank of America Corporation and its subsidiaries. The amount of additional collateral required depends on the contract and is usually a fixed incremental amount and/or the market value of the exposure. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amount of additional collateral and termination payments that would have been required for such derivatives and trading agreements was approximately $1.0 billion and $2.1 billion if the long-term credit rating of Bank of America Corporation and its subsidiaries was incrementally downgraded by one level by all ratings agencies. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, a second incremental one level downgrade by the ratings agencies would have required approximately $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion in additional collateral.
     The Corporation records counterparty credit risk valuation adjustments on derivative assets in order to properly reflect the credit quality of the counterparty. These adjustments are necessary as the market quotes on derivatives do not fully reflect the credit risk of the counterparties to the derivative assets. The Corporation considers collateral and legally enforceable master netting agreements that mitigate its credit exposure to each counterparty in determining the counterparty credit risk valuation adjustment. All or a portion of these counterparty credit risk valuation adjustments can be reversed or otherwise adjusted in future periods due to changes in the value of the derivative contract, collateral and creditworthiness of the counterparty. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, credit valuation losses of $758 million and $421 million ($308 million and $366 million, net of hedges) compared to gains of $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion ($634 million and $593 million, net of hedges) for the same periods in 2009 for counterparty credit risk related to derivative assets were recognized in trading account profits. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the cumulative counterparty credit risk valuation adjustment reduced the derivative assets balance by $8.0 billion and $7.8 billion.
     In addition, the fair value of the Corporation’s or its subsidiaries’ derivative liabilities is adjusted to reflect the impact of the Corporation’s credit quality. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, credit valuation gains (losses) of $206 million and $368 million ($85 million and $251 million, net of hedges) compared to $(1.6) billion and $85 million for the same periods in 2009 were recognized in trading account profits for changes in the Corporation’s or its subsidiaries’ credit risk. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation’s cumulative credit risk valuation adjustment reduced the derivative liabilities balance by $1.2 billion and $664 million.

     At June 30, 2010, the accumulated net unrealized gains on AFS debt securities included in accumulated OCI were $2.9 billion, net of the related income tax expense of $1.8 billion. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation had nonperforming AFS debt securities of $197 million and $467 million.
     At June 30, 2010, both the amortized cost and fair value of held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities were $435 million. At December 31, 2009, the amortized cost and fair value of HTM debt securities were $9.8 billion and $9.7 billion, which included ABS that were issued by the Corporation’s credit card securitization trust and retained by the Corporation with an amortized cost of $6.6 billion and a fair value of $6.4 billion. As a result of the adoption of new consolidation guidance, the Corporation consolidated the credit card securitization trusts on January 1, 2010 and the ABS were eliminated in consolidation and the related consumer credit card loans were included in loans and leases on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, $2.9 billion of debt securities held in consolidated commercial paper conduits were reclassified from HTM to AFS as a result of new regulatory capital requirements related to asset-backed commercial paper conduits.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, for certain securities, the Corporation recognized credit losses in excess of unrealized losses in accumulated OCI. In these instances, a portion of the credit losses recognized in earnings has been offset by an unrealized gain. Balances above exclude $16 million and $49 million of gross gains recorded in accumulated OCI related to these securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and $281 million for the same periods in 2009.

     As of June 30, 2010, those debt securities with OTTI for which a portion of the OTTI loss remains in accumulated OCI primarily consisted of non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and CDOs. The Corporation estimates the portion of loss attributable to credit using a discounted cash flow model. The Corporation estimates the expected cash flows of the underlying collateral using internal credit risk, interest rate risk and prepayment risk models that incorporate management’s best estimate of current key assumptions such as default rates, loss severity and prepayment rates. Assumptions used can vary widely from loan to loan and are influenced by such factors as loan interest rate, geographical location of the borrower, borrower characteristics and collateral type. The Corporation then uses a third party vendor to determine how the underlying collateral cash flows will be distributed to each security issued from the structure. Expected principal and interest cash flows on an impaired debt security are discounted using the book yield of each individual impaired debt security.
     Based on the expected cash flows derived from the model, the Corporation expects to recover the unrealized losses in accumulated OCI on non-agency RMBS. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of non-agency RMBS are in the table below. Annual constant prepayment speed and loss severity rates are projected considering collateral characteristics such as loan-to-value (LTV), creditworthiness of borrowers (FICO) and geographic concentrations. The weighted-average severity by collateral type was 36 percent for prime bonds, 44 percent for Alt-A bonds and 48 percent for subprime bonds. Additionally, default rates are projected by considering collateral characteristics including, but not limited to LTV, FICO and geographic concentration. Weighted-average life default rates by collateral type were 37 percent for prime bonds, 59 percent for Alt-A bonds and 69 percent for subprime bonds.

     Additionally, based on the expected cash flows derived from the model, the Corporation expects to recover the unrealized losses in accumulated OCI on CDOs. Certain assumptions used in the valuation of CDOs were an annual constant prepayment speed, loss severities and default rates which take into consideration various collateral characteristics including but not limited to asset type, subordination and vintages. For CDOs, these assumptions were a maximum prepayment speed of 26 percent, a maximum default rate of 58 percent and a maximum loss severity of 100 percent. Due to the structure and variability of the underlying collateral for the CDOs, the minimum end of the ranges and a weighted-average for each of these assumptions are not meaningful.

     At June 30, 2010, the amortized cost of approximately 8,000 AFS securities exceeded their fair value by $3.5 billion. The gross unrealized losses include $1.0 billion on non-agency RMBS, and $1.4 billion on foreign securities and other taxable securities, which are primarily CDOs. Combined, these securities represent 68 percent of the $3.5 billion in gross unrealized losses. Of the $3.5 billion, $1.4 billion of gross unrealized losses have existed for less than twelve months and $2.2 billion of gross unrealized losses have existed for a period of twelve months or longer. Of the gross unrealized losses existing for twelve months or longer, $862 million related to approximately 200 non-agency RMBS and $1.1 billion related to foreign securities and other taxable securities. Combined, these securities represented 93 percent of the gross unrealized losses that have existed for a period of twelve months or longer. Gross unrealized losses are principally the result of ongoing illiquidity in the markets and the interest rate environment.
     The Corporation considers the length of time and extent to which the fair value of AFS debt securities have been less than cost to conclude that such securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired. The Corporation also considers other factors such as the financial condition of the issuer including credit ratings and specific events affecting the operations of the issuer, volatility of the security, underlying assets that collateralize the debt security, and other industry and macroeconomic conditions. As the Corporation has no intent to sell securities with unrealized losses and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Corporation will be required to sell these securities before recovery of amortized cost, the Corporation has concluded that the securities are not impaired on an other-than-temporary basis.
     The amortized cost and fair value of the Corporation’s investment in AFS debt securities from the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) where the investment exceeded 10 percent of consolidated shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are presented in the following table.

     The components of realized gains and losses on sales of debt securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are presented in the table below. During the second quarter of 2010, the Corporation entered into a series of transactions in its AFS debt securities portfolio that involved securitizations as well as sales of non-agency RMBS. The Corporation made the decision to enter into these transactions in late May 2010 following a review of corporate risk objectives in light of proposed Basel regulatory capital changes and liquidity targets. The carrying value of the non-agency RMBS portfolio was reduced $5.2 billion during the quarter primarily as a result of the aforementioned sales and securitizations as well as paydowns. The Corporation recognized net losses of $711 million on the sales and securitizations, and improved the overall credit quality of the remaining portfolio such that the percentage of the non-agency RMBS portfolio that is below investment grade was reduced significantly.

Certain Corporate and Strategic Investments
     At both June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation owned approximately 11 percent, or 25.6 billion common shares of China Construction Bank (CCB). During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Corporation sold its initial investment of 19.1 billion common shares in CCB for a pre-tax gain of $7.3 billion. The remaining investment of 25.6 billion common shares is accounted for at cost and classified in other assets. Dividends related to this investment are accrued when declared. Of the total investment, 23.6 billion shares are non-transferable until August 2011. Under applicable accounting guidance, beginning one year prior to the date when the shares become transferrable, the shares will be accounted for as AFS securities and carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated OCI. At June 30, 2010 and

Table of Contents

December 31, 2009, both the cost and the carrying value of the CCB investment were $9.2 billion, and the fair value was $20.8 billion and $22.0 billion. Dividend income on this investment is recorded in equity investment income and during the second quarter of 2010, the Corporation accrued a dividend of $535 million from CCB. The Corporation remains a significant shareholder in CCB and intends to continue the important long-term strategic alliance with CCB originally entered into in 2005. As part of this alliance, the Corporation expects to continue to provide advice and assistance to CCB.
     In June 2010, the Corporation sold its investment of 188.4 million preferred shares and 56.5 million common shares in Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. (Itaú Unibanco) for $3.9 billion. The Itaú Unibanco investment was accounted for at fair value and classified as AFS marketable equity securities in other assets with unrealized gains recorded, net-of-tax, in accumulated OCI. The carrying value of this investment was $2.6 billion and, after transaction costs, the pre-tax gain was $1.2 billion.
     In June 2010, the Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 24.9 percent ownership interest in Grupo Financiero Santander, S.A.B. de C.V. to an affiliate of its parent company, Banco Santander, S.A., the majority interest holder. The sale price is $2.5 billion and the Corporation’s carrying value at the agreement date was $2.9 billion which included the impact of foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated OCI. This investment is classified in other assets and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Because the sale is expected to result in a loss, the Corporation recorded an impairment write-down in the three months ended June 30, 2010 equal to the estimated pre-tax loss of $428 million. The sale is expected to close during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
     In June 2010, the Corporation sold all of its MasterCard equity position, which was acquired primarily upon MasterCard’s IPO. In connection with the transaction, the Corporation recorded a pre-tax gain of $440 million.
     In the second quarter of 2010, the Corporation entered into agreements to sell $2.9 billion of its exposure in certain private equity funds including $1.5 billion of funded exposure and $1.4 billion of unfunded commitments. The pre-tax loss recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2010 on these transactions was $163 million.
     At both June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation had an economic ownership of approximately 34 percent in BlackRock, Inc. (BlackRock), a publicly traded investment company. The carrying value of this investment at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $10.1 billion and $10.0 billion and the fair value was $9.3 billion and $15.0 billion, respectively. This investment is classified in other assets and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting with income recorded as equity investment income.
     On June 26, 2009, the Corporation entered into a joint venture agreement with First Data Corporation (First Data) creating Banc of America Merchant Services, LLC. Under the terms of the agreement, the Corporation contributed its merchant processing business to the joint venture and First Data contributed certain merchant processing contracts and personnel resources. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Corporation recorded in other income a pre-tax gain of $3.8 billion related to this transaction. In addition to the Corporation and First Data, the remaining stake was initially held by a third party. During the second quarter of 2010, the third party sold its interest to the joint venture, resulting in an ownership increase in this joint venture to approximately 49 percent for the Corporation and 51 percent for First Data. The investment in the joint venture, which was initially recorded at a fair value of $4.7 billion, is accounted for under the equity method of accounting with income recorded as equity investment income. The carrying value of the investment at both June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $4.7 billion.

Includes dealer financial services loans of $46.4 billion and $41.6 billion, consumer lending of $15.8 billion and $19.7 billion, domestic securities-based lending margin loans of $14.6 billion and $12.9 billion, student loans of $10.3 billion and $10.8 billion, foreign consumer loans of $7.5 billion and $8.0 billion and other consumer loans of $3.7 billion and $4.2 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
 
(5)  
Includes consumer finance loans of $2.1 billion and $2.3 billion, other foreign consumer loans of $733 million and $709 million and consumer overdrafts of $186 million and $144 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

(8)  
Certain commercial loans are accounted for under the fair value option and include commercial – domestic loans of $2.1 billion and $3.0 billion, commercial – foreign loans of $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion and commercial real estate loans of $114 million and $90 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. See Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements for additional information on the fair value option.
     The Corporation mitigates a portion of its credit risk on the residential mortgage portfolio through the use of synthetic securitizations which are cash collateralized and provide mezzanine risk protection of $2.2 billion and $2.5 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, which will reimburse the Corporation in the event that losses exceed 10 basis points (bps) of the original pool balance. The Corporation does not have a variable interest in the vehicles, which are variable interest entities, and therefore they are not consolidated by the Corporation. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $61.7 billion and $70.7 billion of residential mortgage loans were referenced under these agreements. The decrease in these pools was due to $6.9 billion in principal payments and $2.1 billion of loan sales. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation had a receivable of $944 million and $1.0 billion from these synthetic securitizations for reimbursement of losses. These receivables are fully collectible as there are no claims on the cash collateral that are senior to the Corporation’s. In addition, the Corporation has entered into credit protection agreements with FNMA and FHLMC totaling $7.4 billion and $6.6 billion as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, providing full protection on conforming residential mortgage loans that become severely delinquent.

Nonperforming Loans and Leases
     The following table presents the Corporation’s nonperforming loans and leases, including nonperforming TDRs, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. This table excludes performing TDRs and loans accounted for under the fair value option. Nonperforming loans held-for-sale (LHFS) are excluded from nonperforming loans and leases as they are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. In addition, purchased credit-impaired loans, consumer credit card, business card loans and in general, consumer loans not secured by real estate, including renegotiated loans, are not considered nonperforming and are therefore excluded from nonperforming loans and leases in the table. Real estate-secured, past due consumer loans that are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), including repurchased loans pursuant to the Corporation’s servicing agreements with GNMA, are not reported as nonperforming as principal repayments are insured by the FHA.

Balances exclude nonaccruing TDRs in the consumer real estate portfolio of $403 million and $395 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 that were removed from the purchased credit-impaired loan portfolio prior to the adoption of new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2010.
     Included in certain loan categories in the nonperforming table above are TDRs that were classified as nonperforming. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation had $3.5 billion and $2.9 billion of residential mortgages, $856 million and $1.7 billion of home equity, $669 million and $486 million of commercial loans and $79 million and $43 million of discontinued real estate loans that were TDRs and classified as nonperforming. In addition to these amounts, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation had performing TDRs that were on accrual status of $4.1 billion and $2.3 billion of residential mortgages, $1.0 billion and $639 million of home equity, $207 million and $91 million of commercial loans and $32 million and $35 million of discontinued real estate.
Impaired Loans and Troubled Debt Restructurings
     A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans, performing commercial TDRs and both performing and nonperforming consumer real estate TDRs. As defined in applicable accounting guidance, impaired loans exclude smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, all commercial leases and those commercial loans accounted for under the fair value option. Purchased credit-impaired loans are reported separately and discussed beginning on page 32.
     The Corporation seeks to assist customers that are experiencing financial difficulty by renegotiating credit card, consumer lending and small business loans (the renegotiated portfolio) while ensuring compliance with Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) guidelines. The renegotiated portfolio may include modifications, both short- and long-term, of interest rates or payment amounts or a combination thereof. The Corporation makes loan modifications primarily utilizing internal renegotiation programs via direct customer contact that manage customers’ debt exposures held only by the Corporation. Additionally, the Corporation makes loan modifications with consumers who have elected to work with external renegotiation agencies and these modifications provide solutions to customers’ entire unsecured debt structures. Under both internal and external programs, customers receive reduced annual percentage rates with fixed payments that

amortize loan balances over a 60-month period. Under both programs, a customer’s charging privileges are revoked.
     The following table provides detailed information on the Corporation’s primary modification programs for the renegotiated portfolio.

     At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation had a renegotiated portfolio of $14.1 billion and $8.1 billion of which $10.9 billion was current or less than 30 days past due under the modified terms at June 30, 2010. The related allowance was $7.0 billion at June 30, 2010. Current period amounts include the impact of new consolidation guidance which resulted in the consolidation of credit card and other securitization trusts. The average recorded investment in the renegotiated portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $15.3 billion and $5.5 billion. Interest income is accrued on outstanding balances with cash receipts first applied to interest and fees, then to reduce outstanding principal balances. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, interest income on the renegotiated portfolio totaled $205 million and $412 million compared to $72 million and $131 million for the same periods in 2009. The renegotiated portfolio is excluded from nonperforming loans as the Corporation generally does not classify consumer loans not secured by real estate as nonperforming as these loans are generally charged off no later than the end of the month in which the loan becomes 180 days past due.
     At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation had $11.6 billion and $12.7 billion of impaired commercial loans and $9.6 billion and $7.7 billion of impaired consumer real estate loans. The average recorded investment in impaired commercial and consumer real estate loans for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $21.2 billion and $11.5 billion. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the recorded investment in impaired loans requiring an allowance for loan and lease losses was $19.0 billion and $18.6 billion, and the related allowance for loan and lease losses was $2.7 billion and $3.0 billion. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, interest income on these impaired loans totaled $123 million and $234 million. This compared to $60 million and $75 million for the same periods in the prior year. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, remaining commitments to lend additional funds to debtors whose terms have been modified in a commercial or consumer TDR were immaterial.
Purchased Credit-impaired Loans
     Purchased credit-impaired loans are acquired loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination for which it is probable at purchase date that the Corporation will be unable to collect all contractually required payments. In connection with the Countrywide acquisition in 2008, the Corporation acquired purchased credit-impaired loans, substantially all of which are residential mortgage, home equity and discontinued real estate loans, with a remaining unpaid principal balance at June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 of $44.9 billion, $46.3 billion and $47.7 billion and a carrying amount, excluding the valuation reserve, of $36.2 billion, $37.0 billion and $37.5 billion. In connection with the Merrill Lynch acquisition in 2009, the Corporation acquired purchased credit-impaired loans, substantially all of which are commercial and residential mortgage loans. At June 30, 2010, the unpaid principal balance of Merrill Lynch purchased credit-impaired consumer and commercial loans was $2.1 billion and $1.6 billion and the carrying amount of these loans, excluding the valuation reserve, was $1.9 billion and $439 million. At March 31, 2010, the unpaid principal balance of Merrill Lynch purchased credit-impaired consumer and commercial loans was $2.3 billion and $1.7 billion and the carrying amount of these loans, excluding the valuation reserve, was $2.0 billion and $604 million. At December 31, 2009, the unpaid principal balance of Merrill Lynch purchased credit-impaired consumer and commercial loans was $2.4 billion and $2.0 billion and the carrying amount of

32


Table of Contents

these loans, excluding the valuation reserve, was $2.1 billion and $692 million. See Note 7 — Allowance for Credit Losses for additional information.
     As a result of the adoption of new accounting guidance on purchased credit-impaired loans, beginning January 1, 2010, pooled loans that are modified subsequent to acquisition are not removed from the purchased credit-impaired loan pools. Prior to January 1, 2010, pooled loans that were modified subsequent to acquisition were reviewed to compare modified contractual cash flows to the purchased credit-impaired carrying value. If the present value of the modified cash flows was lower than the carrying value, the loan was removed from the purchased credit-impaired loan pool at its carrying value, as well as any related allowance for loan and lease losses, and was classified as a TDR. The carrying value of purchased credit-impaired loan TDRs that were removed from the purchased credit-impaired pool prior to January 1, 2010 totaled $2.1 billion at June 30, 2010, of which $1.7 billion were on accrual status. The carrying value of these modified loans, net of allowance, was approximately 65 percent of the unpaid principal balance.
     The following table shows activity for the accretable yield on purchased credit-impaired loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, there was a $367 million reclassification from accretable yield to nonaccretable difference primarily related to a reduction in estimated interest cash flows. The reclassification to nonaccretable difference for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $167 million as the reduction in estimated interest cash flows was somewhat offset by slower projected prepayment speeds during the first quarter.

     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation recorded $256 million and $1.1 billion in provision for credit losses with a corresponding increase in the valuation reserve included as part of the allowance for loan and lease losses specifically for the purchased credit-impaired loan portfolio. This compared to $855 million and $1.7 billion for the same periods in the prior year. The amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses associated with the purchased credit-impaired loan portfolio was $5.3 billion, $5.1 billion and $3.9 billion at June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses was a result of the provision for credit losses and the reclassification to the nonaccretable difference of previous write-downs recorded against the allowance.
     The “other” amount under the reserve for unfunded lending commitments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 represents the fair value of the acquired Merrill Lynch reserve excluding those commitments accounted for under the fair value option, net of accretion, and the impact of funding previously unfunded portions.
NOTE 8 – Securitizations and Other Variable Interest Entities
     The Corporation utilizes VIEs in the ordinary course of business to support its own and its customers’ financing and investing needs. The Corporation routinely securitizes loans and debt securities using VIEs as a source of funding for the Corporation and as a means of transferring the economic risk of the loans or debt securities to third parties. The Corporation also administers, structures or invests in other VIEs including multi-seller conduits, municipal bond trusts, CDOs and other entities as described in more detail below.

Table of Contents

     The entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. In accordance with the new consolidation guidance effective January 1, 2010, the Corporation is deemed to have a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. As a result of this change in accounting, the Corporation consolidated certain VIEs and former QSPEs that were unconsolidated prior to January 1, 2010. The net incremental impact of this accounting change on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet is set forth in the following table. The net effect of the accounting change on January 1, 2010 shareholders’ equity was a $6.2 billion charge to retained earnings, net-of-tax, primarily from the increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses, as well as a $116 million charge to accumulated OCI, net-of-tax, for the net unrealized losses on AFS debt securities on newly consolidated VIEs.

     The following tables present the assets and liabilities of consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs if the Corporation has continuing involvement with transferred assets or if the Corporation otherwise has a variable interest in the VIE at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The tables also present the Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss resulting from its involvement with consolidated VIEs and unconsolidated VIEs in which the Corporation holds a variable interest at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss is based on the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIEs become worthless and incorporates not only potential losses associated with assets recorded on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet but also potential losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments such as unfunded liquidity commitments and other contractual arrangements. The Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss does not include losses previously recognized through write-downs of assets on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
     The Corporation invests in asset-backed securities issued by third party VIEs with which it has no other form of involvement. These securities are included in Note 3 – Trading Account Assets and Liabilities and Note 5 – Securities. In addition, the Corporation uses VIEs such as trust preferred securities trusts in connection with its funding activities, as described in Note 13 – Long-term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Corporation also uses VIEs in the form of synthetic securitization vehicles to mitigate a portion of the credit risk on its residential mortgage loan portfolio as described in Note 6 – Outstanding Loans and Leases. The Corporation has also provided support to certain cash funds managed within GWIM, as described in Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These VIEs, which are not consolidated by the Corporation, are not included in the tables below.

     Except as described below and in Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as of June 30, 2010, the Corporation has not provided financial support to consolidated or unconsolidated VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide, nor does it intend to do so.
Mortgage-related Securitizations
First-Lien Mortgages
     As part of its mortgage banking activities, the Corporation securitizes a portion of the first-lien residential mortgage loans it originates or purchases from third parties generally in the form of MBS guaranteed by GSEs and from time to time under private label MBS. Securitization occurs in conjunction with or shortly after loan closing or purchase. In addition, the Corporation may, from time to time, securitize commercial mortgages it originates or purchases from other entities. The Corporation also typically services loans it securitizes. Further, the Corporation may retain beneficial interests in the securitization vehicles including senior and subordinate securities and the equity tranche. Except as described below, the Corporation does not provide guarantees or recourse to the securitization vehicles other than standard representations and warranties.
     The following table summarizes select information related to first-lien mortgage securitizations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

(3)  
Substantially all of the residential mortgages securitized are initially classified as LHFS and accounted for under the fair value option. As such, gains are recognized on these LHFS prior to securitization. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation recognized $1.2 billion and $2.5 billion of gains on these LHFS compared to $1.5 billion and $2.5 billion for the same periods in 2009. The gains were substantially offset by hedges.
 
(4)  
All of the securities and other retained interests acquired from securitizations are initially classified as Level 2 assets within the fair value hierarchy. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no changes to the initial classification within the fair value hierarchy.
 
n/a = not applicable
     The Corporation recognizes consumer MSRs from the sale or securitization of mortgage loans. Servicing fee and ancillary fee income on consumer mortgage loans serviced, including securitizations where the Corporation has continuing involvement, were $1.6 billion and $3.2 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $1.5 billion and $3.0 billion for the same periods in 2009. Servicing advances on consumer mortgage loans, including securitizations where the Corporation has continuing involvement, were $20.9 billion and $19.3 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Corporation has the option to repurchase delinquent loans out of securitization trusts, which reduces the amount of servicing advances it is required to make. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, $4.3 billion and $8.4 billion of loans were repurchased from first-lien securitization trusts as a result of loan delinquencies or in order to perform modifications, compared to $201 million and $957 million for the same periods in 2009. In addition, the Corporation has retained commercial MSRs from the sale or securitization of commercial mortgage loans. Servicing fee and ancillary fee income (loss) on commercial mortgage loans serviced, including securitizations where the Corporation has continuing involvement, were $(2) million and $2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $13 million and $24 million for the same periods in 2009. Servicing advances on commercial mortgage loans, including securitizations where the Corporation has continuing involvement, were $128 million and $109 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. For more information on MSRs, see Note 16 — Mortgage Servicing Rights.

As a holder of these securities, the Corporation receives scheduled principal and interest payments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, there were no significant OTTI losses recorded on those securities classified as AFS debt securities.
 
(3)  
Principal balance outstanding includes loans the Corporation transferred and with which it has continuing involvement, and may include servicing the loans. However, these amounts do not merely represent loans transferred by the Corporation where servicing is retained.
     On January 1, 2010, the Corporation consolidated $2.5 billion of commercial mortgage securitization trusts in which it had a controlling financial interest. These trusts were subsequently deconsolidated as the Corporation determined that it no longer had a controlling financial interest. When the Corporation is the servicer of the loans or holds certain subordinate investments in a non-agency mortgage trust, the Corporation has control over the activities of the trust. If the Corporation also holds a financial interest that could potentially be significant to the trust, the Corporation is the primary beneficiary of and consolidates the trust. The Corporation does not have a controlling financial interest in and therefore does not consolidate agency trusts unless the Corporation holds substantially all of the issued securities and has the unilateral right to liquidate the trust. Prior to 2010, substantially all of the securitization trusts met the definition of a QSPE and as such were not subject to consolidation.

Home Equity Mortgages
     The Corporation maintains interests in home equity securitization trusts to which the Corporation transferred home equity loans. These retained interests include senior and subordinate securities and residual interests. The Corporation also services the loans in the trusts. There were no securitizations of home equity loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Collections reinvested in revolving period securitizations were $9 million and $16 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $50 million and $123 million for the same periods in 2009. Cash flows received on residual interests were $4 million and $7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $12 million and $23 million for the same periods in 2009.
     The Corporation consolidated home equity loan securitization trusts of $4.5 billion, which hold loans with principal balances outstandings of $5.1 billion net of an allowance of $573 million, in which it had a controlling financial interest on January 1, 2010. As the servicer of the trusts, the Corporation has the power to manage the loans held in the trusts. In addition, the Corporation may have a financial interest that could potentially be significant to the trusts through its retained interests in senior or subordinate securities or the trusts’ residual interest, through providing a guarantee to the trusts, or through providing subordinate funding to the trusts during a rapid amortization event. In these cases, the Corporation is the primary beneficiary of and consolidates these trusts. If the Corporation is not the servicer or does not hold a financial interest that could potentially be significant to the trust, the Corporation does not have a controlling financial interest and does not consolidate the trust. Prior to 2010, the trusts met the definition of a QSPE and as such were not subject to consolidation.

For unconsolidated VIEs, the maximum loss exposure represents outstanding trust certificates issued by trusts in rapid amortization, net of recorded reserves and excludes liability for representations and warranties, and corporate guarantees.
 
(2)  
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $38 million and $15 million of the debt securities classified as trading account assets were senior securities and $22 million and $1 million were subordinate securities.
 
(3)  
As a holder of these securities, the Corporation receives scheduled principal and interest payments. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2009, there were no OTTI losses recorded on those securities classified as AFS debt securities.
 
(4)  
At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $4 million and $47 million represent subordinate debt securities held. At December 31, 2009, $100 million are residual interests classified as AFS debt securities.
     Under the terms of the Corporation’s home equity loan securitizations, advances are made to borrowers when they draw on their lines of credit and the Corporation is reimbursed for those advances from the cash flows in the securitization. During the revolving period of the securitization, this reimbursement normally occurs within a short period after the advance. However, when the securitization transaction has begun a rapid amortization period, reimbursement of the Corporation’s advance occurs only after other parties in the securitization have received all of the cash flows to which they are entitled. This has the effect of extending the time period for which the Corporation’s advances are outstanding. In particular, if loan losses requiring draws on monoline insurers’ policies, which protect the bondholders in the securitization, exceed a specified threshold or duration, the Corporation may not receive reimbursement for all of the funds advanced to borrowers, as the senior bondholders and the monoline insurers have priority for repayment.
     The Corporation evaluates all of its home equity loan securitizations for their potential to experience a rapid amortization event by estimating the amount and timing of future losses on the underlying loans, the excess spread available to cover such losses and by evaluating any estimated shortfalls in relation to contractually defined triggers. A maximum funding obligation attributable to rapid amortization cannot be calculated as a home equity borrower has the ability to pay down and re-draw balances. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, home equity loan securitization transactions in rapid amortization, including both consolidated and unconsolidated trusts, had $13.4 billion and $14.1 billion of trust certificates outstanding. This amount is significantly greater than the amount the Corporation expects to fund. At June 30, 2010, an additional $438 million of trust certificates outstanding relate to home equity loan securitization transactions that are expected to enter rapid amortization during the next 12 months. The charges that will ultimately be recorded as a result of the rapid amortization events depend on the performance of the loans, the amount of subsequent draws and the timing of related cash flows. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the reserve for losses on expected future draw obligations on the home equity loan securitizations in or expected to be in rapid amortization was $152 million and $178 million.
     The Corporation has consumer MSRs from the sale or securitization of home equity loans. The Corporation recorded $15 million and $41 million of servicing fee income related to home equity securitizations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $34 million and $69 million for the same periods in 2009. For more information on MSRs, see Note 16 — Mortgage Servicing Rights.

Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees
     The Corporation securitizes first-lien mortgage loans, generally in the form of MBS guaranteed by GSEs. In addition, in prior years, legacy companies have sold pools of first-lien mortgage loans and home equity loans as private label MBS or in the form of whole loans. In connection with these securitizations and whole loan sales the Corporation and its legacy companies made various representations and warranties to the GSEs, private label MBS investors, financial guarantors (monolines), and other whole loan purchasers. These representations and warranties related to, among other things, the ownership of the loan, the validity of the lien securing the loan, the absence of delinquent taxes or liens against the property securing the loan, the process used to select the loan for inclusion in a transaction, the loan’s compliance with any applicable loan criteria established by the buyer, including underwriting standards, and the loan’s compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws. Violation of these representations and warranties may result in a requirement to repurchase mortgage loans, indemnify or provide other recourse to an investor or securitization trust. In such cases, the repurchaser bears any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans. The repurchaser’s credit loss may be reduced by any recourse to sellers of loans for representations and warranties previously provided. These representations and warranties can be enforced by the investor or, in certain first-lien and home equity securitizations where monolines have insured all or some of the related bonds issued, by the insurer at any time over the life of the loan. However, most demands for repurchase have occurred within the first few years of origination, generally after a loan has defaulted. Importantly, the contractual liability to repurchase arises only if there is a breach of the representations and warranties that materially and adversely affects the interest of the investor or securitization trust, or if there is a breach of other standards established by the terms of the related sale agreement.
     The Corporation’s current operations are structured to attempt to limit the risk of repurchase and accompanying credit exposure by ensuring consistent production of quality mortgages and by servicing those mortgages consistent with secondary mortgage market standards. In addition, certain securitizations include guarantees written to protect purchasers of the loans from credit losses up to a specified amount. The probable losses to be absorbed under the representations and warranties obligations and the guarantees are recorded as a liability when the loans are sold and are updated by accruing a representations and warranties expense in mortgage banking income throughout the life of the loan as necessary when additional relevant information becomes available. The methodology used to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of the representations and warranties given and considers a variety of factors, which include actual defaults, estimated future defaults, historical loss experience, probability that a repurchase request will be received and probability that a loan will be required to be repurchased.
     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, $573 million and $1.2 billion of loans were repurchased from first-lien investors and securitization trusts, including those in which the monolines insured some or all of the related bonds, under its representations and warranties, and corporate guarantees compared to $222 million and $580 million for the same periods in 2009. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the amount paid to indemnify investors and securitization trusts, including those in which the monolines insured some or all of the related bonds, was $165 million and $462 million compared to $59 million and $122 million for the same periods in 2009. The repurchase claims and indemnification payments were primarily as a result of material breaches of representations related to the loan’s compliance with the applicable underwriting standards, including borrower misrepresentation, credit exceptions without sufficient compensating factors and non-compliance with underwriting procedures, although the actual representations made in a sales transaction and the resulting repurchase and indemnification activity can vary by transaction or investor.
     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, $30 million and $53 million of loans were repurchased from home equity securitization trusts under representations and warranties and corporate guarantees compared to $50 million and $77 million for the same periods in 2009. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, $36 million and $76 million were paid to indemnify investors or securitization trusts compared to $37 million and $52 million for the same periods in 2009. Repurchases of loans from securitization trusts for home equity loans are primarily a result of breaches of representations and warranties, including those where the monolines have insured all or some of the related bonds issued by securitization trusts. In addition, the loans may be repurchased in order to perform modifications.
     Although the timing and volume has varied, repurchase and similar requests have increased from buyers and insurers including monolines. However, a very limited number of repurchase requests have been received related to private label MBS transactions. A loan by loan review of all repurchase requests is performed and demands have been and will continue to be contested to the extent not considered valid. Overall, disputes have increased with buyers and insurers regarding representations and warranties. At June 30, 2010, the unpaid principal balance of loans related to unresolved repurchase requests previously received from investors and insurers was approximately $11.1 billion, including $5.6 billion from the GSEs, $4.0 billion from the monolines, and $1.4 billion from other investors, and $33 million from private label MBS transactions. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2009, were approximately $7.6 billion, including $3.3 billion from the GSEs, $2.9 billion from the monolines and $1.4 billion from other investors, and $30 million from private label MBS transactions.
     The liability for representations and warranties, and corporate guarantees, is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities and the related expense is included in mortgage banking income. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the liability was $3.9 billion and $3.5 billion. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the representations and warranties and corporate guarantees expense was $1.2 billion and $1.8 billion, compared to $446 million and $880 million for the same periods in 2009. Representations and warranties expense will vary each period as the methodology used to estimate the expense continues to be refined based on the level of repurchase requests, defects identified, the latest experience gained on repurchase requests and other relevant facts and circumstances.

     The Corporation and its legacy companies have an established history of working with the GSEs on repurchase requests and has generally established a mutual understanding of what represents a valid defect and the protocols necessary for loan repurchases. However, unlike the repurchase protocols and experience established with GSEs, experience with the monolines and other third party buyers has been varied and the protocols and experience with the monolines has not been as predictable as with the GSEs. In addition, the Corporation and its legacy companies have very limited experience with private label MBS repurchases as the number of repurchase requests received has been very limited.
     Loans have been repurchased and a liability for representations and warranties has been established for monoline repurchase requests, based upon valid identified loan defects. A liability has also been established for monoline repurchase requests that are in the process of review based on historical repurchase experience with each monoline to the extent such experience provides a reliable basis on which to estimate incurred losses from future repurchase activity. A liability has also been established related to repurchase requests subject to negotiation and unasserted requests to repurchase current and future defaulted loans where it is believed a more consistent repurchase experience with certain monolines has been established. For other monolines, in view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of those repurchase requests where a valid defect has not been identified or the inherent difficulty in predicting future claim requests and the related outcome in the case of unasserted requests to repurchase loans from the securitization trusts in which these monolines have insured all or some of the related bonds, the Corporation cannot reasonably estimate, the eventual outcome. In addition, the timing of the ultimate resolution, or the eventual loss, if any, related to those repurchase requests cannot be reasonably estimated. For the monolines where there has not been established sufficient, consistent repurchase experience, it is not possible to estimate the possible loss or a range of loss. Thus, a liability has not been established related to repurchase requests where a valid defect has not been identified, or in the case of any unasserted requests to repurchase loans from the securitization trusts in which such monolines have insured all or some of the related bonds.
     At June 30, 2010, the unpaid principal balance of loans related to unresolved repurchase requests previously received from monolines was approximately $4.0 billion, including $2.3 billion that have been reviewed where it is believed a valid defect has not been identified which would constitute an actionable breach of representations and warranties and $1.7 billion that is in the process of review. At June 30, 2010, the unpaid principal balance of loans for which the monolines had requested loan files for review but for which no repurchase request has been received was approximately $9.8 billion. There will likely be additional requests for loan files in the future leading to repurchase requests. Such requests may relate to loans that are currently in the securitization trusts or loans that have defaulted and are no longer included in the unpaid principal balance of the loans in the trusts. However, it is unlikely that a repurchase request will be made for every loan in a securitization or every file requested or that a valid defect exists for every loan repurchase request. Repurchase requests from the monolines will continue to be evaluated and reviewed and, to the extent not considered valid, contested. The exposure to loss from monoline repurchase requests will be determined by the number and amount of loans ultimately repurchased offset by the applicable underlying collateral value in the real estate securing these loans. In the unlikely event that repurchase would be required for the entire amount of all loans in all securitizations, regardless of whether the loans were current, and without considering whether a repurchase demand might be asserted or whether such demand actually showed a valid defect in any loans from the securitization trusts in which monolines have insured all or some of the related bonds, assuming the underlying collateral has no value, the maximum amount of potential loss would be no greater than the unpaid principal balance of the loans repurchased plus accrued interest.
Credit Card Securitizations
     The Corporation securitizes originated and purchased credit card loans. The Corporation’s continuing involvement with the securitization trusts includes servicing the receivables, retaining an undivided interest (seller’s interest) in the receivables, and holding certain retained interests including senior and subordinate securities, discount receivables, subordinate interests in accrued interest and fees on the securitized receivables, and cash reserve accounts. The securitization trusts’ legal documents require the Corporation to maintain a minimum seller’s interest of four to five percent and at June 30, 2010, the Corporation was in compliance with this requirement. The seller’s interest in the trusts represents the Corporation’s undivided interest in the receivables transferred to the trust and is pari passu to the investors’ interest. At December 31, 2009, prior to the consolidation of the trusts, the Corporation had $10.8 billion of seller’s interest which was carried at historical cost and classified in loans.
     The Corporation consolidated all credit card securitization trusts as of January 1, 2010. In its role as administrator and servicer, the Corporation has the power to manage defaulted receivables, add and remove accounts within certain defined parameters, and manage the trusts’ liabilities. Through its retained residual and other interests, the Corporation has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the trusts. Accordingly, the Corporation is the primary beneficiary of the trusts and therefore the trusts are subject to consolidation. Prior to 2010, the trusts met the definition of a QSPE and as such were not subject to consolidation.
     The following table summarizes select information related to credit card securitization trusts in which the Corporation held a variable interest at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, $2.9 billion of new senior debt securities were issued to external investors from the credit card securitization trusts. There were no new debt securities issued to external investors from the credit card securitization trusts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. Collections reinvested in revolving period securitizations were $33.4 billion and $69.1 billion and cash flows received on residual interests were $1.1 billion and $2.5 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
     At December 31, 2009, there were no recognized servicing assets or liabilities associated with any of the credit card securitization transactions. The Corporation recorded $520 million and $1.0 billion in servicing fees related to credit card securitizations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, subordinate securities of $1.9 billion and $10.0 billion with a stated interest rate of zero percent were issued by the U.S. Credit Card Securitization Trusts to the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation extended its election of designating a specified percentage of new receivables transferred to the Trusts as “discount receivables” through September 30, 2010. As the U.S. Credit Card Securitization Trusts were consolidated on January 1, 2010, the additional subordinate securities issued and the extension of the discount receivables election had no impact on the Corporation’s consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. For additional information on these transactions, see Note 8 — Securitizations to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2010, similar actions were also taken with the U.K. Credit Card Securitization Trusts. Additional subordinate securities of $1.5 billion with a stated interest rate of zero percent were issued by the U.K. Credit Card Securitization Trusts to the Corporation and the Corporation specified that from February 22, 2010 through October 31, 2010, a percentage of new receivables transferred to the Trusts will be deemed discount receivables. Both actions were taken in an effort to address the decline in the excess spread of the U.K. Credit Card Securitization Trusts. As the U.K. Credit Card Securitization Trusts were consolidated on January 1, 2010, the additional subordinate securities issued and the designation of discount receivables had no impact on the Corporation’s results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.
     As of March 31, 2010, the Corporation had terminated the U.S. Credit Card Securitization Trust’s commercial paper program and all outstanding notes were paid in full. Accordingly, there is no commercial paper outstanding and the associated liquidity support agreement between the Corporation and the U.S. Credit Card Securitization Trust has been terminated as of March 31, 2010. For additional information on the Corporation’s U.S. Credit Card Securitization Trust’s commercial paper program, see Note 8 — Securitizations to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Multi-seller Conduits
     The Corporation administers four multi-seller conduits which provide a low-cost funding alternative to its customers by facilitating their access to the commercial paper market. These customers sell or otherwise transfer assets to the conduits, which in turn issue short-term commercial paper that is rated high-grade and is collateralized by the underlying assets. The Corporation receives fees for providing combinations of liquidity and standby letters of credit (SBLCs) or similar loss protection commitments to the conduits for the benefit of third party investors. The Corporation also receives fees for serving as commercial paper placement agent and for providing administrative services to the conduits. The Corporation’s liquidity commitments, which had an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $17.7 billion and $34.5 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, are collateralized by various classes of assets and incorporate features such as overcollateralization and cash reserves that are designed to provide credit support to the conduits at a level equivalent to investment grade as determined in accordance with internal risk rating guidelines. Third parties participate in a small number of the liquidity facilities on a pari passu basis with the Corporation.

     The Corporation consolidated all previously unconsolidated multi-seller conduits on January 1, 2010. In its role as administrator, the Corporation has the power to determine which assets will be held in the conduits and it has an obligation to monitor these assets for compliance with agreed-upon lending terms. In addition, the Corporation manages the issuance of commercial paper. Through the liquidity facilities and loss protection commitments with the conduits, the Corporation has an obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, the Corporation is the primary beneficiary of and therefore consolidates the conduits.
     Prior to 2010, the Corporation determined whether it must consolidate a multi-seller conduit based on an analysis of projected cash flows using Monte Carlo simulations. The Corporation did not consolidate three of the four conduits as it did not expect to absorb a majority of the variability created by the credit risk of the assets held in the conduits. On a combined basis, these three conduits had issued approximately $147 million of capital notes and equity interests to third parties, $142 million of which were outstanding at December 31, 2009, which absorbed credit risk on a first loss basis. All of these capital notes and equity interests were redeemed as of March 31, 2010. The Corporation consolidated the fourth conduit which had not issued capital notes to third parties.
     The assets of the conduits typically carry a risk rating of AAA to BBB based on the Corporation’s current internal risk rating equivalent which reflects structural enhancements of the assets including third party insurance. Approximately 86 percent of commitments in the conduits are supported by senior exposures. At June 30, 2010, the assets of the consolidated conduits and the conduits’ unfunded liquidity commitments were mainly collateralized by $3.6 billion in trade receivables (20 percent), $2.9 billion in auto loans (16 percent), $2.5 billion in student loans (14 percent), $720 million in credit card loans (four percent) and $1.4 billion in equipment loans (eight percent). In addition, $2.3 billion (13 percent) of the conduits’ assets and unfunded commitments were collateralized by projected cash flows from long-term contracts (e.g., television broadcast contracts, stadium revenues and royalty payments) which, as mentioned above, incorporate features that provide credit support. Amounts advanced under these arrangements will be repaid when cash flows due under the long-term contracts are received. Substantially all of this exposure is insured. In addition, $3.6 billion (20 percent) of the conduits’ assets and unfunded commitments were collateralized by the conduits’ short-term lending arrangements with investment funds, primarily real estate funds, which, as mentioned above, incorporate features that provide credit support. Amounts advanced under these arrangements are secured by commitments from a diverse group of high quality equity investors. Outstanding advances under these facilities will be repaid when the investment funds issue capital calls.
     One of the previously unconsolidated conduits held CDO investments with aggregate funded amounts and unfunded commitments totaling $543 million at December 31, 2009. The conduit had transferred the investments to a subsidiary of the Corporation in accordance with existing contractual requirements and the transfers were initially accounted for as financing transactions. After the capital notes issued by the conduit were redeemed in 2010, the conduit no longer had any continuing exposure to credit losses of the investments and the transfers were recharacterized by the conduit as sales to the subsidiary of the Corporation. At June 30, 2010, these CDO exposures were recorded on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in trading account assets and derivative liabilities and are included in the Corporation’s disclosure of variable interests in CDO vehicles beginning on page 45.

     Assets of the Corporation are not available to pay creditors of the conduits except to the extent the Corporation may be obligated to perform under the liquidity commitments and SBLCs. Assets of the conduits are not available to pay creditors of the Corporation. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation did not hold any commercial paper issued by the conduits other than incidentally and in its role as a commercial paper dealer.
     The Corporation’s liquidity, SBLCs and similar loss protection commitments obligate it to purchase assets from the conduits at the conduits’ cost. If a conduit is unable to re-issue commercial paper due to illiquidity in the commercial paper markets or deterioration in the asset portfolio, the Corporation is obligated to provide funding subject to the following limitations. The Corporation’s obligation to purchase assets under the SBLCs and similar loss protection commitments is subject to a maximum commitment amount which is typically set at eight to 10 percent of total outstanding commercial paper. The Corporation’s obligation to purchase assets under the liquidity agreements, which comprise the remainder of its exposure, is generally limited to the amount of non-defaulted assets. Although the SBLCs are unconditional, the Corporation is not obligated to fund under other liquidity or loss protection commitments if the conduit is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding. The Corporation has not provided support to the conduits that was not contractually required nor does it intend to provide support in the future that is not contractually required.
Municipal Bond Trusts
     The Corporation administers municipal bond trusts that hold highly rated, long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds, some of which are callable prior to maturity. The vast majority of the bonds are rated AAA or AA and some of the bonds benefit from insurance provided by monolines. The trusts obtain financing by issuing floating-rate trust certificates that reprice on a weekly or other basis to third party investors. The Corporation may serve as remarketing agent and/or liquidity provider for the trusts. The floating-rate investors have the right to tender the certificates at specified dates, often with as little as seven days’ notice. Should the Corporation be unable to remarket the tendered certificates, it is generally obligated to purchase them at par under standby liquidity facilities. The Corporation is not obligated to purchase the certificates under the standby liquidity facilities if a bond’s credit rating declines below investment grade or in the event of certain defaults or bankruptcy of the issuer and insurer. In addition to standby liquidity facilities, the Corporation also provides default protection or credit enhancement to investors in securities issued by certain municipal bond trusts.
     Interest and principal payments on floating-rate certificates issued by these trusts are secured by an unconditional guarantee issued by the Corporation. In the event that the issuer of the underlying municipal bond defaults on any payment of principal and/or interest when due, the Corporation will make any required payments to the holders of the floating-rate certificates. The Corporation or a customer of the Corporation may hold the residual interest in the trust. If a customer holds the residual interest, that customer typically has the unilateral ability to liquidate the trust at any time, while the Corporation typically has the ability to trigger the liquidation of that trust if the market value of the bonds held in the trust declines below a specified threshold. This arrangement is designed to limit market losses to an amount that is less than the customer’s residual interest, effectively preventing the Corporation from absorbing losses incurred on assets held within the trust when a customer holds the residual interest. The weighted average remaining life of bonds held in the trusts at June 30, 2010 was 12.8 years. There were no material write-downs or downgrades of assets or issuers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

     On January 1, 2010, the Corporation consolidated $5.1 billion of municipal bond trusts in which it has a controlling financial interest. As transferor of assets into a trust, the Corporation has the power to determine which assets will be held in the trust and to structure the liquidity facilities, default protection and credit enhancement, if applicable. In some instances, the Corporation retains a residual interest in such trusts and has loss exposure that could potentially be significant to the trust through the residual interest, liquidity facilities and other arrangements. The Corporation is also the remarketing agent through which it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance. Accordingly, the Corporation is the primary beneficiary and consolidates these trusts. In other instances, one or more third party investors hold the residual interest and through that interest have the right to liquidate the trust. The Corporation does not consolidate these trusts.
     Prior to 2010, some of the municipal bond trusts were QSPEs and as such were not subject to consolidation by the Corporation. The Corporation consolidated those trusts that were not QSPEs if it held the residual interests or otherwise expected to absorb a majority of the variability created by changes in fair value of assets in the trusts and changes in market rates of interest. The Corporation did not consolidate a trust if the customer held the residual interest and the Corporation was protected from loss in connection with its liquidity obligations.
     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation was the transferor of assets into unconsolidated municipal bond trusts and received cash proceeds from new securitizations of $369 million and $782 million as compared to none during the same periods in 2009. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the principal balance outstanding for unconsolidated municipal bond securitization trusts for which the Corporation was transferor was $1.9 billion and $6.9 billion.
     The Corporation’s liquidity commitments to unconsolidated municipal bond trusts totaled $4.0 billion and $9.8 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation held $274 million and $155 million of floating-rate certificates issued by unconsolidated municipal bond trusts in trading account assets. At December 31, 2009, the Corporation also held residual interests of $203 million.
Collateralized Debt Obligation Vehicles
     CDO vehicles hold diversified pools of fixed-income securities, typically corporate debt or asset-backed securities, which they fund by issuing multiple tranches of debt and equity securities. Synthetic CDOs enter into a portfolio of credit default swaps to synthetically create exposure to fixed-income securities. Collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) are a subset of CDOs which hold pools of loans, typically corporate loans or commercial mortgages. CDOs are typically managed by third party portfolio managers. The Corporation transfers assets to these CDOs, holds securities issued by the CDOs and may be a derivative counterparty to the CDOs, including a credit default swap counterparty for synthetic CDOs. The Corporation has also entered into total return swaps with certain CDOs whereby the Corporation will absorb the economic returns generated by specified assets held by the CDO. The Corporation receives fees for structuring CDOs and providing liquidity support for super senior tranches of securities issued by certain CDOs. No third parties provide a significant amount of similar commitments to these CDOs.

Maximum loss exposure has not been reduced to reflect the benefit of purchased insurance.
     The Corporation’s maximum loss exposure of $8.1 billion includes $2.2 billion of super senior CDO exposure, $2.4 billion of exposure to CDO financing facilities and $3.5 billion of other non-super senior exposure. This exposure is calculated on a gross basis and does not reflect any benefit from purchased insurance. Net of purchased insurance but including securities retained from liquidations of CDOs, the Corporation’s net exposure to super senior CDO-related positions was $1.5 billion at June 30, 2010. The CDO financing facilities, which are consolidated, obtain funding from third parties for CDO positions which are principally classified in trading account assets on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The CDO financing facilities’ long-term debt at June 30, 2010 totaled $2.5 billion, all of which has recourse to the general credit of the Corporation.
     The Corporation consolidated $220 million of CDOs on January 1, 2010. The Corporation does not routinely serve as collateral manager for CDOs and, therefore, does not typically have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of a CDO. However, following an event of default, if the Corporation is a majority holder of senior securities issued by a CDO and acquires the power to manage the assets of the CDO, the Corporation consolidates the CDO. Generally, the creditors of the consolidated CDOs have no recourse to the general credit of the Corporation. Prior to 2010, the Corporation evaluated whether it must consolidate a CDO based principally on a determination as to which party was expected to absorb a majority of the credit risk created by the assets of the CDO.
     At June 30, 2010, the Corporation had $2.2 billion notional amount of super senior liquidity exposure to CDO vehicles. This amount includes $920 million notional amount of liquidity support provided to certain synthetic CDOs, including $333 million to a consolidated CDO, in the form of unfunded lending commitments related to super senior securities. The lending commitments obligate the Corporation to purchase the super senior CDO securities at par value if the CDOs need cash to make payments due under credit default swaps held by the CDOs. The Corporation also had $1.3 billion notional amount of liquidity exposure to non-special purpose entity (SPE) third parties that hold super senior cash positions on the Corporation’s behalf.
     Liquidity-related commitments also include $1.4 billion notional amount of derivative contracts with unconsolidated SPEs, principally CDO vehicles, which hold non-super senior CDO debt securities or other debt securities on the Corporation’s behalf. These derivatives are typically in the form of total return swaps which obligate the Corporation to purchase the securities at the SPE’s cost to acquire the securities, generally as a result of ratings downgrades. The underlying securities are senior securities and substantially all of the Corporation’s exposures are insured. Accordingly, the Corporation’s exposure to loss consists principally of counterparty risk to the insurers. These derivatives are included in the $1.5 billion notional amount of derivative contracts through which the Corporation obtains funding from third party SPEs, described in Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies.
     The Corporation’s $3.6 billion of aggregate liquidity exposure to CDOs at June 30, 2010 is included in the above table to the extent that the Corporation sponsored the CDO vehicle or the liquidity exposure to the CDO vehicle is more than insignificant as compared to total assets of the CDO vehicle. Liquidity exposure included in the table is reported net of previously recorded losses.

Table of Contents

     The Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss is significantly less than the total assets of the CDO vehicles in the table above because the Corporation typically has exposure to only a portion of the total assets. The Corporation has also purchased credit protection from some of the same CDO vehicles in which it invested, thus reducing net exposure to future loss.
Customer Vehicles
     Customer vehicles include credit-linked and equity-linked note vehicles, repackaging vehicles and asset acquisition vehicles, which are typically created on behalf of customers who wish to obtain market or credit exposure to a specific company or financial instrument.
     The following table summarizes select information related to customer vehicles in which the Corporation held a variable interest at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

     On January 1, 2010, the Corporation consolidated $5.9 billion of customer vehicles in which it has a controlling financial interest.
     Credit-linked and equity-linked note vehicles issue notes which pay a return that is linked to the credit or equity risk of a specified company or debt instrument. The vehicles purchase high-grade assets as collateral and enter into credit default swaps or equity derivatives to synthetically create the credit or equity risk to pay the specified return on the notes. The Corporation is typically the counterparty for some or all of the credit and equity derivatives and, to a lesser extent, it may invest in securities issued by the vehicles. The Corporation may also enter into interest rate or foreign currency derivatives with the vehicles. In certain instances, the Corporation has entered into derivative contracts, typically total return swaps, with vehicles which obligate the Corporation to purchase securities held as collateral at the vehicle’s cost, generally as a result of ratings downgrades. The underlying securities are senior securities and substantially all of the Corporation’s exposures are insured. Accordingly, the Corporation’s exposure to loss consists principally of counterparty risk to the insurers. At June 30, 2010, the notional amount of such derivative contracts with unconsolidated vehicles was $149 million. This amount is included in the $1.5 billion notional amount of derivative contracts through which the Corporation obtains funding from unconsolidated SPEs, described in Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies. The Corporation also had approximately $453 million of other liquidity commitments, including written put options and collateral value guarantees, with unconsolidated credit-linked and equity-linked note vehicles at June 30, 2010.
     The Corporation consolidates these vehicles when it has control over the initial design of the vehicle and also absorbs potentially significant gains or losses through derivative contracts or the collateral assets. The Corporation does not consolidate a vehicle if a single investor controlled the initial design of the vehicle or if the Corporation does not have a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the vehicle. Credit-linked and equity-linked note vehicles were not

Table of Contents

consolidated prior to 2010 because the Corporation did not absorb a majority of the economic risks and rewards of the vehicles.
     Asset acquisition vehicles acquire financial instruments, typically loans, at the direction of a single customer and obtain funding through the issuance of structured notes to the Corporation. At the time the vehicle acquires an asset, the Corporation enters into total return swaps with the customer such that the economic returns of the asset are passed through to the customer. The Corporation is exposed to counterparty credit risk if the asset declines in value and the customer defaults on its obligation to the Corporation under the total return swaps. The Corporation’s risk may be mitigated by collateral or other arrangements. The Corporation consolidates these vehicles because it has the power to manage the assets in the vehicles and owns all of the structured notes issued by the vehicles. These vehicles were not consolidated prior to 2010 because the variability created by the assets in the vehicles was considered to be absorbed by the Corporation’s customers through the total return swaps.
Other VIEs
     Other consolidated VIEs primarily include investment vehicles, leveraged lease trusts, automobile and other securitization trusts, and asset acquisition conduits. Other unconsolidated VIEs primarily include investment vehicles, real estate vehicles and resecuritization trusts.
     The following table summarizes select information related to other VIEs in which the Corporation held a variable interest at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Investment Vehicles
     The Corporation sponsors, invests in or provides financing to a variety of investment vehicles that hold loans, real estate, debt securities or other financial instruments and are designed to provide the desired investment profile to investors. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation’s consolidated investment vehicles had total assets of $7.5 billion and $5.7 billion. The Corporation also held investments in unconsolidated vehicles with total assets of $11.5 billion and $8.8 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss associated with consolidated and unconsolidated investment vehicles totaled $12.9 billion and $10.7 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
     The Corporation consolidated $2.5 billion of investment vehicles on January 1, 2010. This amount included a real estate investment fund with $1.5 billion of assets which is designed to provide returns to clients through limited partnership holdings. Affiliates of the Corporation are the general partner and also have a limited partnership interest in the fund.

Table of Contents

Although it is without any obligation or commitment to do so, the Corporation anticipates that it may, in its sole discretion, elect to provide support to the entity and therefore considers the entity to be a VIE. The Corporation consolidates an investment vehicle that meets the definition of a VIE if it manages the assets or otherwise controls the activities of the vehicle and also holds a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the vehicle. Prior to 2010, the Corporation consolidated an investment vehicle that met the definition of a VIE if the Corporation’s investment or guarantee was expected to absorb a majority of the variability created by the assets of the funds.
Leveraged Lease Trusts
     The Corporation’s net investment in consolidated leveraged lease trusts totaled $5.3 billion and $5.6 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The trusts hold long-lived equipment such as rail cars, power generation and distribution equipment, and commercial aircraft. The Corporation consolidates these trusts because it structured the trusts, giving the Corporation power over the limited activities of the trusts, and holds a significant residual interest. Prior to 2010, the Corporation consolidated these trusts because the residual interest was expected to absorb a majority of the variability driven by credit risk of the lessee and, in some cases, by the residual risk of the leased property. The net investment represents the Corporation’s maximum loss exposure to the trusts in the unlikely event that the leveraged lease investments become worthless. Debt issued by the leveraged lease trusts is nonrecourse to the Corporation. The Corporation has no liquidity exposure to these leveraged lease trusts.
Automobile and Other Securitization Trusts
     At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation serviced asset-backed securitization trusts with outstanding unpaid principal balances of $12.0 billion and $11.9 billion, substantially all of which held automobile loans. The Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss associated with these consolidated and unconsolidated trusts totaled $2.6 billion and $3.5 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Corporation transferred $1.4 billion and $3.0 billion of automobile loans to these trusts in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and $9.0 billion during the year ended December 31, 2009.
     On January 1, 2010, the Corporation consolidated one automobile securitization trust with $2.6 billion of assets in which it had a controlling financial interest. Prior to 2010, this trust met the definition of a QSPE and was therefore not subject to consolidation. The Corporation held $2.1 billion of senior securities, $195 million of subordinate securities and $83 million of residual interests issued by this trust at December 31, 2009. The remaining automobile trusts, which were not QSPEs, were previously consolidated and continue to be consolidated under the new consolidation guidance because the Corporation services the automobile loans and also holds a significant amount of beneficial interests issued by the trusts. The assets of the automobile trusts are legally assets of the trusts and not the Corporation and can only be used to settle obligations of the trusts. The creditors of the automobile trusts have no recourse to the Corporation.
Asset Acquisition Conduits
     The Corporation administers three asset acquisition conduits which acquire assets on behalf of the Corporation or its customers. These conduits had total assets of $1.4 billion and $965 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Two of the conduits, which were unconsolidated prior to 2010, acquire assets at the request of customers who wish to benefit from the economic returns of the specified assets on a leveraged basis, which consist principally of liquid exchange-traded equity securities. The third conduit holds subordinate debt securities for the Corporation’s benefit. The conduits obtain funding by issuing commercial paper and subordinate certificates to third party investors. Repayment of the commercial paper and certificates is assured by total return swaps between the Corporation and the conduits. When a conduit acquires assets for the benefit of the Corporation’s customers, the Corporation enters into back-to-back total return swaps with the conduit and the customer such that the economic returns of the assets are passed through to the customer. The Corporation’s exposure to the counterparty credit risk of its customers is mitigated by the ability to liquidate an asset held in the conduit if the customer defaults on its obligation. The Corporation receives fees for serving as commercial paper placement agent and for providing administrative services to the conduits. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation did not hold any commercial paper issued by the asset acquisition conduits other than incidentally and in its role as a commercial paper dealer.
     On January 1, 2010, the Corporation consolidated the two previously unconsolidated asset acquisition conduits with total assets of $1.4 billion. In its role as administrator, the Corporation has the power to determine which assets will be held in the conduits and to manage the issuance of commercial paper. Through the total return swaps with the conduits, the Corporation initially absorbs gains and losses incurred due to changes in market value of assets held in the conduits. Although the Corporation then transfers gains and losses to customers through the back-to-back total return swaps, its financial interest could potentially be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, the Corporation is the primary beneficiary of and consolidates all of the asset acquisition conduits.

49


Table of Contents

     Prior to 2010, the Corporation determined whether it must consolidate an asset acquisition conduit based on the design of the conduit and whether the third party investors are exposed to the Corporation’s credit risk or the market risk of the assets. Interest rate risk was not included in the cash flow analysis because the conduits are not designed to absorb and pass along interest rate risk to investors who receive current rates of interest that are appropriate for the tenor and relative risk of their investments. When a conduit acquired assets for the benefit of the Corporation’s customers, the Corporation entered into back-to-back total return swaps with the conduit and the customers such that the economic returns of the assets are passed through to the customers, none of whom have a variable interest in the conduit as a whole. The third party investors are exposed primarily to the credit risk of the Corporation. Accordingly, the Corporation did not consolidate the conduit. When a conduit acquires assets on the Corporation’s behalf and the Corporation absorbs the market risk of the assets, it consolidates the conduit.
Real Estate Vehicles
     The Corporation held investments in unconsolidated real estate vehicles of $5.2 billion and $4.8 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, which consisted of limited partnership investments in unconsolidated limited partnerships that finance the construction and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing. The Corporation earns a return primarily through the receipt of tax credits allocated to the affordable housing projects. The Corporation’s risk of loss is mitigated by policies requiring that the project qualify for the expected tax credits prior to making its investment. The Corporation may from time to time be asked to invest additional amounts to support a troubled project. Such additional investments have not been and are not expected to be significant.
     Beginning January 1, 2010, the Corporation determines whether it must consolidate these limited partnerships principally based on an identification of the party that has power over the activities of the partnership. Typically, an unrelated third party is the general partner and the Corporation does not consolidate the partnership.
     Prior to 2010, the Corporation determined whether it must consolidate these limited partnerships based on a determination as to which party is expected to absorb a majority of the risk created by the real estate held in the vehicle, which may include construction, market and operating risk. Typically, the general partner in a limited partnership will absorb a majority of this risk due to the legal nature of the limited partnership structure and, accordingly, would consolidate the vehicle.
Resecuritization Trusts
     During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation resecuritized $27.9 billion and $68.7 billion of MBS, including $12.4 billion and $47.0 billion of securities purchased from third parties, compared to $11.8 billion and $16.0 billion for the same periods in 2009. Net losses during the holding period totaled $53 million and $86 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net gains of $37 million and $62 million for the same periods in 2009. At June 30, 2010, the Corporation held $15.9 billion and $2.0 billion of senior securities classified in AFS debt securities and trading account assets, and $1.5 billion and $162 million of subordinate securities classified in AFS debt securities and trading account assets which were issued by unconsolidated resecuritization trusts which had total assets of $32.6 billion. At December 31, 2009, the Corporation held $543 million of senior securities classified in trading account assets which were issued by unconsolidated resecuritization trusts which had total assets of $7.4 billion. All of the retained interests were valued using quoted market prices or observable market inputs (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The Corporation consolidates a resecuritization trust if it has sole discretion over the design of the trust, including the identification of securities to be transferred in and the structure of securities to be issued and also retains a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the trust. If one or a limited number of third party investors purchase a significant portion of subordinate securities and share responsibility for the design of the trust, the Corporation does not consolidate the trust. Prior to 2010, these resecuritization trusts were typically QSPEs and as such were not subject to consolidation by the Corporation.
Other Transactions
     Prior to 2010, the Corporation transferred pools of securities to certain independent third parties and provided financing for approximately 75 percent of the purchase price under asset-backed financing arrangements. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation’s maximum loss exposure under these financing arrangements was $6.4 billion and $6.8 billion, substantially all of which was classified as loans on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. All principal and interest payments have been received when due in accordance with their contractual terms. These arrangements are not included in the Other VIEs table on page 48 because the purchasers are not VIEs.

NOTE 9 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
     The following table presents goodwill balances at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. As discussed in more detail in Note 17 — Business Segment Information, on January 1, 2010, the Corporation realigned the former Global Banking and Global Markets business segments. There was no impact on the reporting units used in goodwill impairment testing. The reporting units utilized for goodwill impairment tests are the business segments or one level below the business segments.

     Based on the results of the annual impairment test at June 30, 2009, the interim period tests subsequent thereto, and due to continued stress on Home Loans & Insurance and Global Card Services as a result of current market conditions, the Corporation concluded that an additional impairment analysis should be performed for these two reporting units in the three months ended June 30, 2010. In performing the first step of the additional impairment analysis, the Corporation compared the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Consistent with the 2009 annual test, the Corporation utilized a combination of the market approach and the income approach for Home Loans & Insurance and the income approach for Global Card Services. For both Home Loans & Insurance and Global Card Services, the carrying value exceeded the fair value, and accordingly, step two of the analysis was performed comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The results of step two of the goodwill impairment test for Home Loans & Insurance and Global Card Services for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were consistent with the results of the 2009 annual impairment test and the interim impairment tests, indicating that no goodwill was impaired as of June 30, 2010. The Corporation is in the process of completing its annual impairment test for all reporting units as of June 30, 2010.
     On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Financial Reform Act) was signed into law. Under the Financial Reform Act and its amendment to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Federal Reserve Board must adopt rules within nine months of enactment of the Financial Reform Act regarding the interchange fees that may be charged with respect to electronic debit transactions. Those rules will take effect one year after enactment of the Financial Reform Act. The Financial Reform Act and the applicable rules are expected to materially reduce the future revenues generated by the debit card business of the Corporation. However, the Corporation expects to implement a number of actions that would mitigate some of the impact when the laws and regulations become effective.
     The Corporation’s consumer and small business card products, including the debit card business, are part of an integrated platform within Global Card Services. The Corporation’s current estimate of revenue loss due to the Financial Reform Act will materially reduce the carrying value of the $22.3 billion of goodwill applicable to Global Card Services. Based on the Corporation’s current estimates of the revenue impact to this business segment, the Corporation expects to record a non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charge for Global Card Services in the three months ended September 30, 2010 that is estimated to be in the range of $7 billion to $10 billion. This estimate does not include potential mitigation actions to recapture lost revenue. A number of these actions may not reduce the goodwill impairment because they will generate revenue for business segments other than Global Card Services (e.g., Deposits) or because the actions may be identified and implemented after the impairment charge has been recorded. The impairment charge, which is a non-cash item, will have no impact on the Corporation’s reported Tier 1 and tangible equity capital ratios.

     At June 30, 2010, long-term debt issued by consolidated VIEs including credit card, automobile, home equity and first-lien mortgage-related securitization trusts totaled $65.6 billion, $8.6 billion, $3.9 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, and $5.7 billion of long-term debt was issued by other consolidated VIEs. Long-term debt issued by VIEs is collateralized by the assets of the VIEs.
     At June 30, 2010, the Corporation has not assumed or guaranteed $126 billion of long-term debt that was issued or guaranteed by Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. or its subsidiaries prior to the acquisition of Merrill Lynch by the Corporation. Beginning late in the third quarter of 2009, in connection with the update or renewal of certain Merrill Lynch international securities offering programs, the Corporation agreed to guarantee debt securities, warrants and/or certificates issued by certain subsidiaries of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. on a going forward basis. All existing Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. guarantees of securities issued by those same Merrill Lynch subsidiaries under various international securities offering programs will remain in full force and effect as long as those securities are outstanding, and the Corporation has not assumed any of those prior Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. guarantees or otherwise guaranteed such securities.
 
     Certain structured notes issued by Merrill Lynch are accounted for under the fair value option. For more information on these structured notes, see Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements.

     Included in the above table are certain structured notes that contain provisions whereby the borrowings are redeemable at the option of the holder (put options) at specified dates prior to maturity. Other structured notes have coupon or repayment terms linked to the performance of debt or equity securities, indices, currencies or commodities and the maturity may be accelerated based on the value of a referenced index or security. In both cases, the Corporation or a subsidiary may be required to settle the obligation for cash or other securities prior to the contractual maturity date. These borrowings are reflected in the above table as maturing at their earliest put or redemption date.
NOTE 11 – Commitments and Contingencies
     In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into a number of off-balance sheet commitments. These commitments expose the Corporation to varying degrees of credit and market risk and are subject to the same credit and market risk limitation reviews as those instruments recorded on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional information on commitments and contingencies, see Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Credit Extension Commitments
     The Corporation enters into commitments to extend credit such as loan commitments, SBLCs and commercial letters of credit to meet the financing needs of its customers. The unfunded legally binding lending commitments shown in the following table are net of amounts distributed (e.g., syndicated) to other financial institutions of $29.5 billion and $30.9 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. At June 30, 2010, the carrying amount of these commitments, excluding commitments accounted for under the fair value option, was $1.4 billion, including deferred revenue of $33 million and a reserve for unfunded lending commitments of $1.4 billion. At December 31, 2009, the comparable amounts were $1.5 billion, $34 million and $1.5 billion, respectively. The carrying amount of these commitments is classified in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Includes business card unused lines of credit.
     Legally binding commitments to extend credit generally have specified rates and maturities. Certain of these commitments have adverse change clauses that help to protect the Corporation against deterioration in the borrower’s ability to pay.
Other Commitments
Global Principal Investments and Other Equity Investments
     At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation had unfunded equity investment commitments of approximately $1.9 billion and $2.8 billion. In light of proposed Basel regulatory capital changes related to unfunded commitments, the Corporation has actively reduced these commitments in a series of transactions involving its private equity fund investments. The Corporation entered into agreements to sell $2.9 billion of its exposure in certain private equity funds. For more information on these transactions, see Note 5 — Securities. These commitments generally relate to the Corporation’s Global Principal Investments business which is comprised of a diversified portfolio of investments in private equity, real estate and other alternative investments. These investments are made either directly in a company or held through a fund.
     Where the Corporation has a binding equity bridge commitment and there is a market disruption or other unexpected event, there is higher potential for loss, unless an orderly disposition of the exposure can be made. At June 30, 2010, the Corporation did not have any unfunded bridge equity commitments. The Corporation had funded equity bridges of $1.2 billion that were committed prior to the market disruption. These equity bridges were considered held for investment and classified in other assets. During the fourth quarter of 2009, these equity bridges were written down to a zero balance. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Corporation recorded a total of $113 million and $263 million in losses in equity investment income related to these investments.

Loan Purchases
     In 2005, the Corporation entered into an agreement for the committed purchase of retail automotive loans over a five-year period that ended on June 22, 2010. Under this agreement, the Corporation purchased $6.6 billion of such loans during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and also the year ended December 31, 2009. All loans purchased under this agreement were subject to a comprehensive set of credit criteria. This agreement was accounted for as a derivative liability with a fair value of $189 million at December 31, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, the Corporation was no longer committed for any additional purchases and the derivative liability was closed.
     At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation had commitments to purchase loans (e.g., residential mortgage and commercial real estate) of $3.2 billion and $2.2 billion, which upon settlement will be included in loans or LHFS.
Operating Leases
     The Corporation is a party to operating leases for certain of its premises and equipment. Commitments under these leases are approximately $1.5 billion, $2.8 billion, $2.4 billion, $1.9 billion and $1.4 billion for the remainder of 2010 through 2014, respectively, and $7.7 billion in the aggregate for all years thereafter.
Other Commitments
     At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation had commitments to enter into forward-dated resale and securities borrowing agreements of $86.8 billion and $51.8 billion. In addition, the Corporation had commitments to enter into forward-dated repurchase and securities lending agreements of $56.2 billion and $58.3 billion. All of these commitments expire within the next 12 months.
     The Corporation has entered into agreements with providers of market data, communications, systems consulting and other office-related services. At both June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the minimum fee commitments over the remaining terms of these agreements totaled $2.3 billion.
Other Guarantees
Bank-owned Life Insurance Book Value Protection
     The Corporation sells products that offer book value protection to insurance carriers who offer group life insurance policies to corporations, primarily banks. The book value protection is provided on portfolios of intermediate investment-grade fixed-income securities and is intended to cover any shortfall in the event that policyholders surrender their policies and market value is below book value. To manage its exposure, the Corporation imposes significant restrictions on surrenders and the manner in which the portfolio is liquidated and the funds are accessed. In addition, investment parameters of the underlying portfolio are restricted. These constraints, combined with structural protections, including a cap on the amount of risk assumed on each policy, are designed to provide adequate buffers and guard against payments even under extreme stress scenarios. These guarantees are recorded as derivatives and carried at fair value in the trading portfolio. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the notional amount of these guarantees totaled $15.7 billion and $15.6 billion and the Corporation’s maximum exposure related to these guarantees totaled $5.0 billion and $4.9 billion with estimated maturity dates between 2030 and 2040. As of June 30, 2010, the Corporation has not made a payment under these products. The probability of surrender has increased due to the deteriorating financial health of policyholders, but remains a small percentage of total notional.
Employee Retirement Protection
     The Corporation sells products that offer book value protection primarily to plan sponsors of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) governed pension plans, such as 401(k) plans and 457 plans. The book value protection is provided on portfolios of intermediate/short-term investment-grade fixed-income securities and is intended to cover any shortfall in the event that plan participants continue to withdraw funds after all securities have been liquidated and there is remaining book value. The Corporation retains the option to exit the contract at any time. If the Corporation exercises its option, the purchaser can require the Corporation to purchase high quality fixed-income securities, typically government or government-backed agency securities, with the proceeds of the liquidated assets to assure the return of principal. To manage its exposure, the Corporation imposes significant restrictions and constraints on the timing

55


Table of Contents

of the withdrawals, the manner in which the portfolio is liquidated and the funds are accessed, and the investment parameters of the underlying portfolio. These constraints, combined with structural protections, are designed to provide adequate buffers and guard against payments even under extreme stress scenarios. These guarantees are recorded as derivatives and carried at fair value in the trading portfolio. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the notional amount of these guarantees totaled $36.5 billion and $36.8 billion with estimated maturity dates between 2010 and 2014 if the exit option is exercised on all deals. As of June 30, 2010, the Corporation has not made a payment under these products and has assessed the probability of payments under these guarantees as remote.
Merchant Services
     On June 26, 2009, the Corporation contributed its merchant processing business to a joint venture in exchange for a 46.5 percent ownership interest in the joint venture. During the second quarter of 2010, the joint venture purchased the interest held by one of the three initial investors bringing the Corporation’s ownership interest up to 49 percent. For additional information on the joint venture agreement, see Note 5 – Securities.
     The Corporation, on behalf of the joint venture, provides credit and debit card processing services to various merchants by processing credit and debit card transactions on the merchants’ behalf. In connection with these services, a liability may arise in the event of a billing dispute between the merchant and a cardholder that is ultimately resolved in the cardholder’s favor and the merchant defaults on its obligation to reimburse the cardholder. A cardholder, through its issuing bank, generally has until the later of up to six months after the date a transaction is processed or the delivery of the product or service to present a chargeback to the joint venture as the merchant processor. If the joint venture is unable to collect this amount from the merchant, it bears the loss for the amount paid to the cardholder. The joint venture is primarily liable for any losses on transactions from the contributed portfolio that occur after June 26, 2009. However, if the joint venture fails to meet its obligation to reimburse the cardholder for disputed transactions, then the Corporation could be held liable for the disputed amount. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation processed $82.8 billion and $161.9 billion of transactions and recorded losses of $5 million and $8 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Corporation processed $79.6 billion and $154.4 billion of transactions and recorded losses of $7 million and $14 million.
     At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation, on behalf of the joint venture, held as collateral $21 million and $26 million of merchant escrow deposits which may be used to offset amounts due from the individual merchants. The joint venture also has the right to offset any payments with cash flows otherwise due to the merchant. Accordingly, the Corporation believes that the maximum potential exposure is not representative of the actual potential loss exposure. The Corporation believes the maximum potential exposure for chargebacks would not exceed the total amount of merchant transactions processed through Visa and MasterCard for the last six months, which represents the claim period for the cardholder, plus any outstanding delayed-delivery transactions. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the maximum potential exposure totaled approximately $126.0 billion and $131.0 billion. The Corporation does not expect to make material payments in connection with these guarantees. The maximum potential exposure disclosed above does not include volumes processed by First Data contributed portfolios.
Brokerage Business
     For a portion of the Corporation’s brokerage business, the Corporation has contracted with a third party to provide clearing services that include underwriting margin loans to the Corporation’s clients. This contract stipulates that the Corporation will indemnify the third party for any margin loan losses that occur in its issuing margin to the Corporation’s clients. The maximum potential future payment under this indemnification was $804 million and $657 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Historically, any payments made under this indemnification have not been material. As these margin loans are highly collateralized by the securities held by the brokerage clients, the Corporation has assessed the probability of making such payments in the future as remote. This indemnification would end with the termination of the clearing contract which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2010.
Other Derivative Contracts
     The Corporation funds selected assets, including securities issued by CDOs and CLOs, through derivative contracts, typically total return swaps, with third parties and SPEs that are not consolidated on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the total notional amount of these derivative contracts was approximately $4.1 billion and $4.9 billion with commercial banks and $1.5 billion and $2.8 billion with SPEs. The underlying securities are senior securities and substantially all of the Corporation’s exposures are insured. Accordingly, the Corporation’s exposure to loss consists principally of counterparty risk to the insurers. In certain circumstances, generally as a result of ratings downgrades, the Corporation may be required to purchase the underlying assets, which would not

56


Table of Contents

result in additional gain or loss to the Corporation as such exposure is already reflected in the fair value of the derivative contracts.
Other Guarantees
     The Corporation sells products that guarantee the return of principal to investors at a preset future date. These guarantees cover a broad range of underlying asset classes and are designed to cover the shortfall between the market value of the underlying portfolio and the principal amount on the preset future date. To manage its exposure, the Corporation requires that these guarantees be backed by structural and investment constraints and certain pre-defined triggers that would require the underlying assets or portfolio to be liquidated and invested in zero-coupon bonds that mature at the preset future date. The Corporation is required to fund any shortfall at the preset future date between the proceeds of the liquidated assets and the purchase price of the zero-coupon bonds. These guarantees are recorded as derivatives and carried at fair value in the trading portfolio. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the notional amount of these guarantees totaled $1.9 billion and $2.1 billion. These guarantees have various maturities ranging from two to five years. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Corporation had not made a payment under these products and has assessed the probability of payments under these guarantees as remote.
     The Corporation has entered into additional guarantee agreements, including lease-end obligation agreements, partial credit guarantees on certain leases, real estate joint venture guarantees, sold risk participation swaps and sold put options that require gross settlement. The maximum potential future payment under these agreements was approximately $3.5 billion and $3.6 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The estimated maturity dates of these obligations are between 2010 and 2033. The Corporation has made no material payments under these guarantees.
     In addition, the Corporation has guaranteed the payment obligations of certain subsidiaries of Merrill Lynch on certain derivative transactions. The aggregate notional amount of such derivative liabilities was approximately $2.2 billion and $2.5 billion at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
     The following supplements the disclosure in Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 (collectively, the prior commitments and contingencies disclosures).
     In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to many pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. These actions and proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of consumer protection, securities, environmental, banking, employment and other laws. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Corporation and its subsidiaries.
     In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are also subject to regulatory examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries and investigations. Certain subsidiaries of the Corporation are registered broker/dealers or investment advisors and are subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the New York Stock Exchange, the Financial Services Authority and other domestic, international and state securities regulators. In connection with formal and informal inquiries by those agencies, such subsidiaries receive numerous requests, subpoenas and orders for documents, testimony and information in connection with various aspects of their regulated activities.
     In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such litigation and regulatory matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages or where the matters present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, the Corporation generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter may be.
     In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Corporation establishes an accrued liability for litigation and regulatory matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Corporation does not establish an accrued liability. As a litigation or regulatory matter develops, the Corporation, in conjunction with

57


Table of Contents

any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency related to a litigation or regulatory matter is not both probable and estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and estimable. Once the loss contingency related to a litigation or regulatory matter is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Corporation will establish an accrued liability with respect to such loss contingency and continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. Excluding fees paid to external legal service providers, litigation-related expenses of $102 million and $690 million were recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $159 million and $370 million for the same periods in 2009.
     In some of the matters described below, and in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosures, including but not limited to the Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. matters, loss contingencies are not both probable and estimable in the view of management, and accordingly, an accrued liability has not been established for those matters. For those disclosed litigation matters included herein, and in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosures, for which a loss is reasonably possible in future periods, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, and for which the Corporation is able to estimate a range of possible loss, the current estimated range is $250 million to $1.4 billion. This aggregate range represents management’s estimate of a possible range of loss with respect to such matters. This estimated range of possible loss is based upon currently available information. Moreover, the litigation matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly. Information is provided below, or in the prior commitments and contingencies disclosures, regarding the nature of these contingencies and, where specified, the amount of the claim associated with these loss contingencies. Based on current knowledge, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending litigation and regulatory matters, including the litigation and regulatory matters described below, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the Corporation. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved in these matters, and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some or all of these matters, an adverse outcome in some or all of these matters could be material to the Corporation’s results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.
Adelphia Litigation
     On May 26, 2010, the decision of the court dismissing approximately 650 defendants was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Trial is now scheduled for October 25, 2010.
Countrywide Bond Insurance Litigation
     On May 28, 2010, defendants filed a notice of appeal from the adverse portions of the order issued by the court on April 29, 2010 in MBIA Insurance Corporation, Inc., v. Countrywide Home Loans. On June 11, 2010, MBIA Insurance Corporation (MBIA) filed a notice of cross-appeal.
     On March 31, 2010, in the Syncora Guarantee action, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants’ motion to dismiss. Both parties filed notices of appeal concerning aspects of the order. On May 6, 2010, Syncora Guarantee Inc. filed an amended complaint reasserting its previously dismissed claims and adding a successor liability claim against the Corporation.
     On April 30, 2010, in the Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. action, Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (FGIC) filed an amended complaint, which adds the Corporation, Countrywide Financial Corporation, Countrywide Securities Corporation (CSC) and Countrywide Bank F.S.B. as defendants. In the amended complaint, FGIC reasserts its previously dismissed claims and asserts a successor liability claim against the Corporation.
     On May 17, 2010, in the MBIA Insurance Corporation, Inc. v. Bank of America action, the court issued an order sustaining in part and overruling in part defendants’ demurrer, and dismissing the case in its entirety with leave to amend. On June 21, 2010, MBIA filed an amended complaint re-asserting its previously dismissed claims, including a successor liability claim against the Corporation, and adding Countrywide Capital Markets, LLC as a defendant.
Countrywide Equity and Debt Securities Matters
     On August 2, 2010, the district court granted preliminary approval of the settlement agreement in In re Countrywide Financial Corp. Securities Litigation.
Countrywide FTC Investigation
     On April 27, 2010, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (CHL) and BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP reached an agreement in principle with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to resolve the FTC’s investigation into CHL’s and BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP’s servicing practices. The agreement is evidenced by a consent order under which CHL and BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP agreed, without admitting any wrongdoing, to settle the matter for an amount that is not material to the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. The amount was paid to the FTC as equitable relief for consumers whose loans were serviced by CHL and Countrywide Home Loans Servicing, LP prior to their acquisition by

the Corporation. The payment to the FTC is not a penalty or a fine. As part of the settlement, CHL and BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP also agreed to a number of additional undertakings relating to the servicing of residential mortgage loans that are in payment default or under which the borrower is a debtor in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California entered the consent order on June 15, 2010.

     On June 1, 2010, the district court issued an opinion explaining its March 31, 2010 order in which the court dismissed claims related to 65 of 84 offerings with prejudice on the grounds that plaintiffs lacked standing as no named plaintiff purchased securities in those offerings. The opinion also allows lead plaintiffs to file an amended complaint as to certain parties. As a result, on July 6, 2010, lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint relating to the offerings remaining in the case.
Municipal Derivatives Litigation
     All six previously disclosed civil cases recently filed in California state court have been transferred and consolidated in the In re Municipal Derivatives Antitrust Litigation.

NOTE 12 – Shareholders’ Equity and Earnings Per Common Share
Common Stock
     In July 2010, the Board declared a third quarter cash dividend of $0.01 per common share payable on September 24, 2010 to common shareholders of record on September 3, 2010. In April 2010, the Board declared a second quarter cash dividend of $0.01 per common share, which was paid on June 25, 2010 to common shareholders of record on June 4, 2010. In January 2010, the Board declared a first quarter cash dividend of $0.01 per common share, which was paid on March 26, 2010 to common shareholders of record on March 5, 2010.
     On April 28, 2010, at the Corporation’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Corporation obtained shareholder approval of an amendment to the Corporation’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 11.3 billion to 12.8 billion.
     In December 2009, the Corporation repurchased the non-voting perpetual preferred stock previously issued to the U.S. Treasury (TARP Preferred Stock) through the use of $25.7 billion in excess liquidity and $19.3 billion in proceeds from the sale of 1.3 billion Common Equivalent Securities (CES) valued at $15.00 per unit. The CES consisted of depositary shares representing interests in shares of Common Equivalent Junior Preferred Stock, Series S (Common Equivalent Stock) and contingent warrants to purchase an aggregate of 60 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock. On February 23, 2010, the Corporation held a special meeting of stockholders at which it obtained shareholder approval of an amendment to the Corporation’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, and accordingly, the Common Equivalent Stock automatically converted in full into 1.286 billion shares of common stock on February 24, 2010 following the filing of the amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on February 23, 2010. In addition, as a result, the contingent warrants expired without having become exercisable and the CES ceased to exist. For additional information on preferred stock, see Note 15 — Shareholders’ Equity and Earnings Per Common Share to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
     Through a 2008 authorized share repurchase program, the Corporation had the ability to repurchase shares, subject to certain restrictions, from time to time, in the open market or in private transactions. The 2008 authorized repurchase program expired on January 23, 2010. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation did not repurchase any shares of common stock and issued approximately 96.8 million shares under employee stock plans. At June 30, 2010, the Corporation had reserved 1.6 billion of unissued common shares for future issuances under employee stock plans, common stock warrants, convertible notes and preferred stock.
     During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Corporation issued approximately 191 million RSUs to certain employees under the Key Associate Stock Plan. These awards generally vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the grant date. Vested RSUs will be settled in cash unless the Corporation authorizes settlement in common shares. Approximately 58 million of these RSUs have been authorized to settle in common shares. Certain awards contain clawback provisions which permit the Corporation to cancel all or a portion of the award under specified circumstances. The compensation cost for cash-settled awards and awards subject to certain clawback provisions is accrued over the vesting period and adjusted to fair value based upon changes in the share price of the Corporation’s common stock. The compensation cost for the remaining awards is fixed and based on the share price of the common stock on the date of grant, or the date upon which settlement in common stock has been authorized. The Corporation hedges a portion of its exposure to variability in the expected cash flows for unvested awards using a combination of economic and cash flow hedges as described in Note 4 — Derivatives. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, the Corporation authorized approximately 42 million

additional RSUs to be settled in common shares and terminated a portion of the corresponding economic and cash flow hedges.
Preferred Stock
     During the first and second quarters of 2010, the aggregate dividends declared on preferred stock were $348 million and $340 million or a total of $688 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Earnings Per Common Share
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, average options to purchase 269 million and 277 million shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of earnings per common share (EPS) because they were antidilutive under the treasury stock method compared to 319 million and 321 million for the same periods in 2009. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, average warrants to purchase 122 million shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of EPS because they were antidilutive under the treasury stock method compared to 272 million and 258 million for the same periods in 2009. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, 117 million average dilutive potential common shares associated with the 7.25% Non-cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, Series L and the Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Series 2 and Series 3 were excluded from the diluted share count because the result would have been antidilutive under the “if-converted” method compared to 164 million and 176 million for the same periods in 2009. For purposes of computing basic EPS, CES were considered to be participating securities prior to February 24, 2010 and as such were allocated earnings as required by the two-class method. For purposes of computing diluted EPS, the dilutive effect of the CES, which were outstanding prior to February 24, 2010, was calculated using the if-converted method which was more dilutive than the two-class method for the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Corporation recorded an increase to retained earnings and net income available to common shareholders of $576 million related to the Corporation’s preferred stock exchange for common stock.

NOTE 13 – Pension and Postretirement Plans
     The Corporation sponsors noncontributory trusteed pension plans that cover substantially all officers and employees, a number of noncontributory nonqualified pension plans, and postretirement health and life plans. Additional information on these plans is presented in Note 17 – Employee Benefit Plans to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
     As a result of the Merrill Lynch acquisition, the Corporation assumed the obligations related to the plans of Merrill Lynch. These plans include a terminated U.S. pension plan, non-U.S. pension plans, nonqualified pension plans and postretirement plans. The non-U.S. pension plans vary based on the country and local practices.
     In 1988, Merrill Lynch purchased a group annuity contract that guarantees the payment of benefits vested under the terminated U.S. pension plan. The Corporation, under a supplemental agreement, may be responsible for, or benefit from actual experience and investment performance of the annuity assets. The Corporation contributed $0 and $120 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, under this agreement. Additional contributions may be required in the future under this agreement.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation contributed $142 million and $58 million to these plans. The Corporation does not expect to be required to contribute to its qualified pension plans in 2010.
NOTE 14 – Fair Value Measurements
     Under applicable accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Corporation determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established under applicable accounting guidance which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. For more information regarding the fair value hierarchy and how the Corporation measures fair value, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Corporation accounts for certain corporate loans and loan commitments, LHFS, structured reverse repurchase agreements, long-term deposits and long-term debt under the fair value option.
Level 1, 2 and 3 Valuation Techniques
     Financial instruments are considered Level 1 when the valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 financial instruments are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or models using inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable

63


Table of Contents

market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable and when determination of the fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
     The Corporation uses market indices for direct inputs to certain models where the cash settlement is directly linked to appreciation or depreciation of that particular index (primarily in the context of structured credit products). In those cases, no material adjustments are made to the index-based values. In other cases, market indices are used as inputs to the valuation, but are adjusted for trade specific factors such as rating, credit quality, vintage and other factors.
Trading Account Assets and Liabilities and Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
     The fair values of trading account assets and liabilities are primarily based on actively traded markets where prices are based on either direct market quotes or observed transactions. The fair values of AFS debt securities are generally based on quoted market prices or market prices for similar assets. Liquidity is a significant factor in the determination of the fair values of trading account assets and liabilities and AFS debt securities. Market price quotes may not be readily available for some positions, or positions within a market sector where trading activity has slowed significantly or ceased. Some of these instruments are valued using a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the fair value of the securities using internal credit risk, interest rate and prepayment risk models that incorporate management’s best estimate of current key assumptions such as default rates, loss severity and prepayment rates. Principal and interest cash flows are discounted using an observable discount rate for similar instruments with adjustments that management believes a market participant would consider in determining fair value for the specific security. Others are valued using a net asset value approach which considers the value of the underlying securities. Underlying assets are valued using external pricing services, where available, or matrix pricing based on the vintages and ratings. Situations of illiquidity generally are triggered by the market’s perception of credit uncertainty regarding a single company or a specific market sector. In these instances, fair value is determined based on limited available market information and other factors, principally from reviewing the issuer’s financial statements and changes in credit ratings made by one or more ratings agencies.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
     The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs including interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third party pricing services. Estimation risk is greater for derivative asset and liability positions that are either option-based or have longer maturity dates where observable market inputs are less readily available or are unobservable, in which case, quantitative-based extrapolations of rate, price or index scenarios are used in determining fair values. The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities include adjustments for market liquidity, counterparty credit quality and other deal specific factors, where appropriate. The Corporation incorporates within its fair value measurements of OTC derivatives the net credit differential between the counterparty credit risk and the Corporation’s own credit risk. An estimate of severity of loss is also used in the determination of fair value, primarily based on market data.
Corporate Loans and Loan Commitments
     The fair value of loans and loan commitments are based on market prices, where available, or discounted cash flow analyses using market-based credit spreads of comparable debt instruments or credit derivatives of the specific borrower or comparable borrowers. Results of discounted cash flow calculations may be adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
     The fair values of MSRs are determined using models that rely on estimates of prepayment rates, the resultant weighted-average lives of the MSRs and the option adjusted spread (OAS) levels. For more information on MSRs, see Note 16 — Mortgage Servicing Rights.

64


Table of Contents

Loans Held-for-Sale
     The fair values of LHFS are based on quoted market prices, where available, or are determined by discounting estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating the Corporation’s current origination rates for similar loans adjusted to reflect the inherent credit risk.
Other Assets
     The fair values of AFS marketable equity securities are generally based on quoted market prices or market prices for similar assets. However, non-public investments are initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently adjusted when evidence is available to support such adjustments.
Securities Financing Agreements
     The fair values of certain reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements and securities borrowed transactions are determined using quantitative models, including discounted cash flow models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates and spreads to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, and volatility factors. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third party pricing services.
Deposits, Commercial Paper and Other Short-term Borrowings
     The fair values of deposits, commercial paper and other short-term borrowings are determined using quantitative models, including discounted cash flow models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates and spreads to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, and volatility factors. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third party pricing services. The Corporation considers the impact of its own credit spreads in the valuation of these liabilities. The credit risk is determined by reference to observable credit spreads in the secondary cash market.
Long-term Borrowings
     The Corporation issues structured notes that have coupons or repayment terms linked to the performance of debt or equity securities, indices, currencies or commodities. The fair value of structured notes is estimated using valuation models for the combined derivative and debt portions of the notes accounted for under the fair value option. These models incorporate observable and, in some instances, unobservable inputs including security prices, interest rate yield curves, option volatility, currency, commodity or equity rates and correlations between these inputs. The impact of the Corporation’s own credit spreads is also included based on the Corporation’s observed secondary bond market spreads. Structured notes are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Asset-backed Secured Financings
     The fair values of asset-backed secured financings are based on external broker bids, where available, or are determined by discounting estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating the Corporation’s current origination rates for similar loans adjusted to reflect the inherent credit risk.
