Policy Time Table Update: 2011 • Financial Stability and Bank Capital Regime > Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform/Consumer Protection Act (July ’ 10) Ø Regulatory interpretations and studies Ø Phase-ins and follow-up regs Ø Fed’s SCAP-2 for dividends & buybacks > BIS III and IMF Global Financial Stability Study (August ’ 10) Ø New/higher capital standards/global coordination Ø Loss absorbency regime – write-downs/conversions/bail-ins Ø Huge global infrastructure overlay on top of market mechanisms • U. S. Mortgage Market Dynamics > Reforming America’s Housing Finance Market (February ‘ 11) Ø GSEs est. losses from $200 B to $400 B Ø Enhanced HAMP released by Obama Administration (March ‘ 10) Ø Proposed Global Servicing Settlement (Fed and State AGs) Ø Questions on legality/fairness/loss distribution between 1 st and 2 nd liens ($20 B? ) Ø Republican pushback in favor of banks 5
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform & Consumer Protection Act • • • Revamps Twin Engines of Financial Growth Over Last 30 Years > Consumer lending business > Capital markets & financial innovation/engineering Restricts 3 Ls: Leverage, Level 2 s, Level 3 s Protects consumer borrower rights Protects tax payers/gov’t interests, prohibits TBTF funding Unleashes host of potential unintended consequences > Restrictive economic/loan impacts > Credit reallocation amongst consumer/commercial spheres > Securitization market impacts > Restricts U. S. financial services global competitiveness > Banks Adaptation/Repositioning Congressional Republican pushback across various rulings 6
Dodd-Frank Act Deficiencies • Credit underwriting: under emphasized, over reliance on capital/liquidity protections • Automated credit scoring: esp. FICO scores as contributing factor to poor credit underwriting procedures • Risk management: still needs to be empowered, improvement of credit procedures • Public-Private Partnership: no formalized forum to debate boundaries of risk & return 7
Dodd-Frank Act – Highlights Source: U. S. government, Credit. Sights *NBFCs = Non-Bank Financial Companies 8
Dodd-Frank Act – Implementation Timeline Source: U. S. government, Credit. Sights 9
BIS III Capital Standards Source: Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, Credit. Sights 10
BIS III Phase-in Schedule Source: Company reports, Credit. Sights *Range of 0% - 2. 5%. Consists of common equity or other fully loss absorbing capital, to be implemented on a discretionary basis by local regulators when deemed that excess credit growth is resulting in a system-wide build-up of risk ** Instruments that no longer qualify as non-common Tier 1 or Tier 2 capital will be phased out over a 10 year period, 1/1/13 Cons. = conservation 11
Dodd-Frank vs. BIS III: Capital Comparison 12
U. S. Banks: Liquid Asset Ratio Source: FFIEC, SNL, Credit. Sights As of 4 Q 10. Green = Strong, Orange = Borderline, Red = Weak. Bar represents median = 18% Liquid asset ratio: (cash & equivalents + securities + Fed funds & repos + trading account – pledged securities) / total assets 13
Orderly Liquidation Authority: Hope or Hostage? • Key Takeaway: taxpayer bailout prohibited; capital structure vulnerable • BIS proposals differ as public monies still available, broader loss sharing to subordinated debt, possibly to senior debt • Harmonizing global regulation – BIS 3 gravitating to Dodd-Frank • Investment bank "bail-in" plans now part of BIS proposals • Market Discipline: priority of claims, bridge banks, loss assessments 14
Bail-Ins Brouhaha – System Stabilizer? • Bail-in part of BIS 3 discussion; could recapitalize “nonviable” SIFIs • “Pre-packaged bankruptcy-type" mechanism for allocating losses across unsecured capital structure, but within a regulatory framework • Triggers “automatic” recapitalization plan designed to be activated in a crisis, before public sector capital support • Could preserve franchise value as "going concern", reducing writedown potential of senior unsecured debt • Maintains protections for depositors/swaps, through key risk enablers; repo at FMV according to FDIC Interim Final Rule (1/18/2011) • Could work as an alternative, instead of wind-down, bankruptcy 15
Bail-Ins Brouhaha – System Stabilizer? For Banks: Maintains access to regulatory capital which has been stymied by credit crisis and investor confusion on bank resolutions; could increase cost of capital For Regulators: Enforces market discipline with capital structure at risk of loss upfront; minimizes systemic risk and political fallout For Investors: More transparent and uniform structures and bond covenants and triggers; still may raise return hurdles and/or exclude participation by traditional fixed income investors - the regulatory desired investor class For Investment Bankers: Innovative compromise solution; preserves largest sector for debt deal flow from global financial institutions; major underwriting fee revenues driver and could enhance fee potential for some instruments and overall 16

Ratings Agencies: Proposed Changes • S&P Ø Places greater emphasis on country, economics, and industry risk Ø Individual company analysis increases importance of capital/funding Ø Earnings de-emphasized Ø Short-term debt: brokers more vulnerable to downgrade to A 2 • Moody’s Ø Reassesses government willingness and capacity for support Ø Higher likelihood of govt. sharing bailout cost with debt holders Ø Focused mainly on the ratings impact to bank subordinated debt Ø Possible negative impact to acquirers of distressed banks Source: S&P, Moody’s, Credit.

Mega-Trends: Banks High margin products - C&I Lending (small/middle/large) - CRE Lending - Affluent Customers - Pre-paid cards for non-prime - Overseas Ops.

GSE Reform: U. S. Treasury Proposals • Government and GSE role in housing finance likely to lessen, more private sector involvement • Three Proposals: > Option 1: Limited govt role, privatized system of housing finance > Option 2: Govt backstop, privatized system of housing finance > Option 3: Govt reinsurance for MBS, privatized housing finance • More discussion in 2011, probably punted to next Administration 22
Mortgage Mods: Response vs. Reality • e. HAMP > Obama program provides relief to indebted homeowners > Target of 7 -8 million modifications > To date, 1. 4 million trial modifications, 500 K permanent modifications • Potential Federal Regulators and State AGs Settlement > Force servicers to offer principal reductions if LTV>100%, subject to NPV test > May levy fines against infractions, fund programs to avoid foreclosures, etc. > Settlement costs could add up to $20 B > GOP pushback against government strong arm tactics > Possible proportionate write-downs of 2 nd liens • Bank Initiated > More inclined to extend terms rather than principal reductions > Driven mostly by NPV tests 23

Credit. Sights’ Equity Recommendations 35
U. S. Banks/Brokers: Key Drivers • Bank of America > Revenue: solid capital markets, slow consumer > Manageable reps and warranties risk > Could increase dividends/repurchases in 2 H 11, prudent to wait until 2012 > Provisions could decline to quarterly run rate of $4 B, from $10 B in 2009 • Citigroup > Unique international franchise, expand in BRIC+10 > Strongest capital among traditional banks > Positioned to return capital, blocked by UST/FDIC Tru. PS until TLGP ends > Not a major mortgage originator; limited reps and warranties risk • JPMorgan > Hoping to return capital to shareholders ASAP > Reps and warranties risk to GSEs/private labels manageable; HE overhang > Revenues driven by broad client franchise and capital markets > Expand internationally through wholesale banking strategy 36
U. S. Banks/Brokers: Key Drivers • Wells Fargo > Reps and warranties manageable: mostly GSE; large HE run-off > Focus on cross-selling; impacted the most by debit interchange > Could look to return capital; capital somewhat lower on BIS III • Goldman Sachs > More focused on share repurchases than dividends > Revenue helped by broad client franchise in FI, equities, and commodities > Growth strategy focused on BRIC+10 • Morgan Stanley > More work to be done to reach BIS III capital levels > Revenues hampered by underperformance in sales and trading > Asset/Wealth Management stabilizing; growth scarce • U. S. Bancorp > Hoping to return capital to shareholders ASAP > Focus on growth of fee-generating businesses (processing, wealth mgmt) > Commercial loan growth could become key balance sheet driver 37
