J.P. Morgan Status o Key Summary Points 2013 / Q1 2014 Milestones Elimination of unwind for rolling TPRs (completed Q2 2013) Maturing TPR will not be unwound if rolled to new matched TPR (same trade amount, same collateral, varying repo rate across trades); if matched before 3:30 with certain conditions met, target TPR will be rolled and interest will be paid GCF integration: Repo Net Settlement (completed Q2 2013) GCF repo transactions settle on net basis and cash adjusted based on prior and current day GCF repo Rolling Settlement 100% Unwind elimination (completed Q4 2013 Q1 2014) Unwind for maturing TPRs replaced by one or more cycles of TPR maturation and settlement TPRs matured in pre-defined sequence based on available funding Funding from new TPRs used to mature existing TPRs via simultaneous exchange when collateral requirements met Secured Committed Clearance Advance Facility TPR Credit committed and capped < 10% (Q4 2013 Q1 2014) Credit extended by JPM to mature tri-party and GCF repos up to pre-defined levels on a committed basis JPMorgan has eliminated the unwind and achieved the reduction of Tri-party credit set forth in the target end state of U.S. Tri-party Repo Market Reforms JPMorgan continues to work on additional GCF changes 6

Remaining Challenges Timely funding of tri-party repo will be a critical success factor o Dealers funding should be received by 3:30pm o Investor funding should be received early in settlement window o Clearing banks will need to recycle the liquidity efficiently Vast majority of tri-party must settle by 5:15 7
Centrally Cleared Institutional Tri-Party Description: Add a new service that will compare, net and settle Tri-Party transactions for members Create a new membership type for Tri-Party cash lenders Registered Investment Companies (RICs) will be eligible for the new membership type Trade guarantee upon comparison Collateral eligibility will follow the GCF Repo model Leverage existing processes with the clearing banks for settlement Settlement will occur at the clearing bank of the Repo Counter-party Rules based liquidity provision in the event of a member default 8
Centrally Cleared Institutional Tri-Party Benefits: Reduction of counterparty risk through GSD guaranteeing the completion of settlement in a member default scenario CCP guarantee may mitigate the risk of large scale exit from tri-party markets by cash investors in a stress scenario Centralized liquidation of a failed counterparty would reduce the potential for market disruption and fire-sale Decreased settlement and operational risk through CCP netting, novation and risk management. In cases where the dealer was reversing in securities and then pledging them to Tri-Party, the dealer would flatten out completely and the risk associated with these trades would be offset Fully collateralized market risk with uniform margining methodologies applied to the marketplace Current Status: Speaking with RICs, Dealers and both clearing banks to define the service Initial service description provided to our Regulators Finalizing business terms for the new service Targeting end Q4 2014 for Draft Rule Filing submission to the SEC 9
