Indemnified Securities Lending Default Indemnification Challenges Capital Risk Weighted Assets and Leverage Ratio aspects to regulatory capital More severe requirements (finalized and proposed) for 8 G-SIBs Standardized approach under US rules» Applies to US institutions and FBO» Significantly increased capital requirements for indemnified securities lending» Haircut-based approach to exposure calculation» Counterparty risk weights of 20% (banks) or 100% (others)» TLAC will further exacerbate» Possible Standardized floor (S-CAR) Large Exposures/Single Counterparty Credit Limits Limits counterparty concentration to a percentage of capital Haircut-based approach for securities lending exposures» Treatment of non cash collateral a big factor No NSFR/LCR impact expected (hopefully) 5

Broker-Dealer Challenges Generally, large broker-dealers now sit within bank holding companies Accordingly, BHC regulation ends up applying to most major U.S. broker-dealers indirectly Supplemental Leverage Ratio Penalizes use of cash collateral, a major issue for US market Penalizes large holdings of low-risk, low-yield assets (e.g., cash and Treasuries) Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) May necessitate greater retention of unencumbered HQLA Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) Imposes long-term funding requirement based on asset quality and maturity profile FSB and Fed Shadow Banking Recommendations Require higher margin/structural changes, including capital surcharge on top of G-SIB buffer Correlates with FRB wholesale funding/volatility concerns and associated capital changes Financial Transaction Tax (FTT) Could bring EU repo markets to standstill Potential Practical Ramifications Increased costs for dealers could make some trades uneconomic 6

Final U.S. Capital Rules 7

Capital Ratios End-State Ratios with Supplementary Leverage Ratio Proposal Capital Conservation Buffer: Additional buffer to avoid limitations on capital distributions & discretionary bonuses. Progressive limitations for banks with capital levels below buffer. Countercyclical Buffer: Starts at 0 but could be as high as 2.5% upon agency discretion (e.g., during period of excessive credit growth). Applies only to Advanced Approaches Banks before Capital Conservation Buffer.

Basel Committee Limits on Large Exposures Finalized April 2014 Intended full Implementation January 1, 2019 10

Single-Counterparty Exposure Limits: Basel Framework Counterparties/Limits Places limits on consolidated exposure to counterparties daily limit / monthly compliance reports General limit of 25% of banking group s Tier 1 Capital of exposure to any single counterparty (and affiliates) E.g., December 31, 2012 Bank Tier 1 capital = $150 B Bank standard exposure limit $37.5 B More stringent limit of 15% of credit exposure of G-SIBs to other G-SIBs Bank $150 B current exposure limit = $15 B Note US proposal from January, 2012 would impose a 10% limit, but U.S. agencies may reconsider based on Basel 11

Counterparties Limit Exposures to a counterparty aggregated across the covered company and all its subsidiaries Exposure = on/off-balance sheet in banking/trading book Subsidiary broadly defined as directly or indirectly controlled (including BHC Act standards) (50% of any class of voting securities) by covered company (systems issue)» 25% voting or equity in US proposal Counterparty includes: Company and all its subsidiaries collectively Unlike U.S. proposal, sovereigns excluded 12

Eligible Credit Mitigation Approach Amount Bank must recognize eligible CRM if recognized for risk capital Unfunded credit protection amount Simple approach market value of collateral Comprehensive Approach Value after supervisory haircut Recognition When must recognize reduction to counterparty, also must recognize to CRM provider Netting permitted for loans vs. deposits 13

FRB FBO Rules 14

Overview and Key Themes 24 U.S. top-tier bank holding companies and approximately 100 FBOs would be subject to all of or some aspects of the enhanced standards Federal Reserve projected in the rule between 15 and 20 of those FBOs would be required to form a U.S. IHC SNL found that FBOs had 17 U.S. subsidiaries with more than $50 billion in assets at the end of 2013 Compliance costs estimated to foreign banks could be up to 300 million Sources: SNL Financial and Final Rule 15

Scope and Coverage >$10BN and <50BN Home country annual capital stress testing Note: applies to all savings and loan holding companies with worldwide total consolidated assets of more than $10bn Tailored standards Total consolidated assets Small FBOs $10BN and <50BN and publicly traded U.S. risk committee Increased standards Total consolidated assets / U.S. Assets $50BN / <50BN Large FBOs with Limited U.S. Presence Home country capital certification and reporting U.S. risk committee Risk management standards Liquidity stress testing Home country annual capital stress testing IHC Requirements Bank holding company ( BHC ) standardized approach capital standards Leverage requirements Capital planning Liquidity stress tests Capital stress tests U.S. risk committee Risk management standards Most-stringent standards Total consolidated assets / U.S. Assets $50BN / 50BN Large FBOs with Large U.S. Presence Home country capital certification and reporting U.S. risk committee U.S. Chief Risk Officer Risk management standards Liquidity risk management Liquidity stress testing Contingency funding plan Liquidity buffer Home country annual capital stress testing and reporting IHC, if U.S. non-branch assets 50BN (see below) Note: Debt-to-equity limits apply if the Financial Stability Oversight Council determines the FBO poses a grave threat to U.S. financial stability 16

Final Liquidity Coverage Ratio 17

Overview Adopted by the Federal Reserve Board, OCC and FDIC Imposes a minimum quantitative liquidity standard Full LCR for the very largest banks Modified LCR for smaller large banks Requires banks to hold enough eligible High Quality Liquid Assets ( HQLA ) to cover Total Net Cash Outflows Super-equivalent to the 2013 Basel III LCR for the Full LCR banks Phases in by January 1, 2017 rather than January 1, 2019 More stringent standards for HQLA More stringent treatment of outflows to address maturity mismatch ( peak-day vs average) 18

Scope and Transition Transition Timeline January 1, 2015 Monthly calculations begin for the Full LCR banks 80% phased-in July 1, 2015 Daily calculations begin for the Full LCR banks that have holding companies with >$700B or more in total consolidated assets or >$10T in assets under custody January 1, 2016 Daily calculations begin the Full LCR banks Monthly calculations begin for the Modified LCR banks 90% phased-in January 1, 2017 100% phased-in for both the Full LCR banks and the Modified LCR banks January 1, 2019 100% phased-in under the Basel III LCR 19

LCR Components Full LCR Banks Eligible HQLA Level 1 up to 100% Level 2 up to 40% Level 2A Level 2B up to 15% LCR = Total Net Cash outflows = Net Cash Outflows over 30 days + Maturity Mismatch Add-on 1 20

Total Net Cash Outflow Overview Total Net Cash Outflow on the calculation date may have two components Part 1: Netting all cash outflows and inflows that mature within 30 days -PLUS- (for the Full LCR banks) Part 2: Computing an add-on that captures the peak-day maturity mismatch for certain categories of outflows/inflows (Maturity Mismatch Add-On )» Not applicable to Modified LCR banks New approach no longer front-loads all open maturity outflows onto day 1 30-day instead of 21-day time horizon as proposed for Modified LCR banks 21

Net Stable Funding Ratio 22

BIS NSFR Ratio and Approach Available amount of stable funding ( ASF ) Required amount of stable funding ( RSF ) 100% ASF: calculated by multiplying a banking organization s liabilities and capital by the assigned factors and then summing the weighted figures. RSF: calculated by multiplying a banking organization s assets by the assigned factors and then adding the weighted figures. 23

BIS NSFR Ratio and Approach Designed to reflect stability of liabilities across 2 dimensions: 1) Funding tenor Generally, long term deemed more stable 2) Funding type/counterparty Retail generally more stable than wholesale Timing: Basel Committee: NSFR will become a minimum standard by January 1, 2018. Federal Reserve anticipates finalizing a rule in 2015. 24

Broker-Dealers and Bank Counterparties in the New Bank Regulatory Landscape Panel 2: What is the Impact?--Specific Implications of the Framework February 4, 2015

Overarching Themes 1. New rules are driven by international regulation more than D/F Less likely to change even if Republican WH FRB sees international as floor ; generally toughens Despite lengthy transition periods, markets forcing prompt compliance Must adapt quickly to new environment 2. New rules increase burdens for counterparty based activities FRB Governor Tarullo focusing on SFTs/Derivatives Not just about bank safety; focus on macroeconomic issues» Tougher to argue against 2

Overarching Themes 3. Broker-Dealers not built for bank capital rules Financial crisis converted large BDs to BHC structures BDs subject to bank rules because of BHC parents BDs never required to have bank capital/liquidity(deposits) 4. Rules impose greater counterparty burdens on different entities Supplemental leverage ratio burdensome for all Capital RWA/SCCL primary burdens bank s dealing with BDs NSFR/LCR can be more burdensome for BDs 3

Overarching Themes 5. Banking entities are changing counterparty transactions to adapt Some trades no longer economic; clients must pay more Banks acting as principal rather than agent» Collateral upgrade trades BDs seeking to use a broader range of collateral» Various initiatives underway Foreign banks placing exposures outside the US All--Broader tools in toolbox --CCPs, netting 6. Demand is returning, but banking entities must adapt to succeed Growing disparity between banking/shadow sectors FSB/US exploring imposing some burdens on shadow» But materials disparities likely to remain 4

Broker-Dealers & Bank Counterparties in the New Regulatory Landscape: HYPOTHETICALS FOR DISCUSSION The Risk Management Association February 4, 2015

Hypothetical Situations to Illustrate the Issues The following pages give several hypothetical situations to illustrate the issues presented by the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (the LCR), the Net Stable Funding Ratio (the NSFR), bank regulatory capital requirements and leverage ratio requirements. The hypotheticals focus on securities financing transactions, but also are analogous to a wide variety of transactions and other activities of banks and their affiliated broker-dealers that are subject to these regulatory requirements. A discussion follows each hypothetical that explains the analysis under each regime by looking just at the hypothetical transactions. Please recognize that in reality the banking organizations subject to these rules will have to aggregate many transactions of many different types, which in itself presents large technological and operational challenges. The hypotheticals assume 105% cash collateralization of securities loans, which is higher than market but is designed to be the maximum permitted for broker-dealers before they need to take an over-collateralization capital charge under SEC Rule 15c3-1. We have not sought to provide estimates of the cost of these trades, because we expect that cost will vary based on trade-specific and institution-specific factors. Among other things, the cost of a trade will include costs associated with acquiring and holding required HQLA and ASF to meet LCR and NSFR requirements, as well as the institution s cost of capital (particularly long-term debt and equity) to meet the regulatory capital (which also will vary depending on whether the institution is subject to standardized or advanced approaches) and leverage requirements. These costs also will vary over time based on market conditions. * The analysis provided is for discussion purposes only and is not designed to be legal or accounting advice. 2 1000438253

Hypothetical Table of Contents 1. Agency Securities Lending with Bank Indemnification.4 2. Agency Securities Lending to Broker-Dealer for Customer Short Sale..9 3. Conduit Securities Lending..13 4. Collateral Upgrade/Asset Exchange/Collateral Swap..19 3

Hypothetical 1: Agency Securities Lending with Bank Indemnification A: Stock Borrow B: Stock Loan Pension Plan Mark Apple Stock $100 Apple Stock $100 Indemnification Agent Bank Marcy Cash Collateral $105 Bank-Owned Broker-Dealer Dan Facts Marcy, as agent for Mark, lends $100 of Apple stock overnight to Dan pursuant to a standard MSLA. Marcy receives $105 cash collateral from Dan and invests it on behalf of Mark. Marcy also provides an indemnification to Mark to protect him in the event that Dan does not return the Apple stock. In some instances, Marcy also provides a second indemnification to Mark to protect him against collateral reinvestment risk for the cash collateral that Marcy invests on behalf of Mark. For simplicity, the hypothetical assumes no such second indemnification. Dan will likely look to external financing for the cash collateral, which may result in additional regulatory implications. Internally financed collateral or non-cash collateral may mitigate some of these additional impacts.. The Apple stock will remain on Mark s balance sheet for GAAP purposes, assuming that the securities loan is not afforded sale treatment. 4

Hypothetical 1: Agency Securities Lending with Bank Indemnification Regulatory Analysis LCR: Mark (Pension Plan) The LCR does not apply to Mark because he is not a regulated entity. Marcy (Agent Bank) Because Marcy is acting as an agent and not as a principal in the stock loan and cash collateral investment between Mark and Dan, the transaction does not have LCR ramifications for her. The indemnification that she provides has no LCR impact. Dan (Broker Dealer) Dan has an inflow of $52.50 (50% of $105), subject to the bank-wide cap of inflows at 75% of outflows. 12 C.F.R. 249.30(a)(2), 249.33(f)(1)(v) (with the Apple stock presumably qualifying as Level 2B HQLA). He is not able to treat the borrowed Apple stock as HQLA because he is borrowing it overnight (and thus doesn t meet the minimum 30 day requirement). 12 C.F.R. 249.22(b)(5). He also loses any HQLA that the cash collateral may have provided. Note that if Dan had borrowed the Apple stock for a prop short sale, the short sale itself would not have an LCR impact, because when Dan delivers the Apple stock to the Street the transaction is closed (and there are no open legs that could trigger LCR ramifications). Provided that the cash collateral will likely be externally financed, that transaction may result in additional outflows for which Dan may need to hold additional HQLA. This additional impact may be mitigated through the use of Dan s own cash or non-cash collateral. 5

Hypothetical 1: Agency Securities Lending with Bank Indemnification Regulatory Analysis NSFR: Mark (Pension Plan) The NSFR does not apply to Mark because he is not a regulated entity. Marcy (Agent Bank) Because Marcy is acting as an agent and not as a principal in the transfer of stock and cash collateral between Mark and Dan, the transaction does not have NSFR ramifications for her. The indemnification that she provides to Mark, however, conceivably could result in an RSF charge, depending on the approach taken by her regulators in implementing the NSFR. NSFR 47, Table 3. Dan (Broker Dealer) Dan has an NSFR mismatch. He does not receive ASF, because the stock received remains on Mark s balance sheet. Dan incurs no RSF charge for the Apple stock that he borrowed because the stock remains on Mark s balance sheet. NSFR 32. Additionally, Dan incurs a 15% RSF charge of $15.75 for the collateral he posts to borrow the stock from Mark. NSFR 39(b). Note that if Dan had borrowed the Apple stock for a prop short sale to the Street, the short sale itself would not result in an RSF charge for Dan. When Dan sells the Apple stock, it is no longer an asset of his that requires ASF. The cash that he receives from the Street has no associated RSF charge. NSFR 36(a). 6

Hypothetical 1: Agency Securities Lending with Bank Indemnification Regulatory Analysis Regulatory Capital: (Collateral Haircut Approach) Mark (Pension Plan) The regulatory capital rules do not apply to Mark because he is not a regulated entity. Marcy (Agent Bank) Marcy has exposure to Dan due to the indemnification she provided to Mark. Marcy may net the $105 cash collateral available to her against the $100 indemnification resulting in an exposure of -$5, which must be increased by the 10.6% market volatility haircut Marcy must take on the stock lent, resulting in total risk weighted assets of $5.6. 12 C.F.R. 217.37(c)(2), (3), 217.132(b)(2)(i),(ii). Dan (Broker Dealer) Dan may net the $105 cash collateral posted against the $100 exposure on the stock lent, resulting in a $5 exposure to Mark. 12 C.F.R. 217.37(c)(2), 217.132(b)(2)(i). Dan must also take a 10.6% (15% sqrt(2)) market volatility haircut on the stock lent, which results in total risk weighted assets of approximately $15.6. 12 C.F.R. 217.37(c)(3), 217.132(b)(2)(ii).» Given that the cash collateral will likely be externally financed, that transaction may incur an additional capital charge. This additional capital charge may be mitigated through the use of Dan s own cash or non-cash collateral. 7

Hypothetical 1: Agency Securities Lending with Bank Indemnification Regulatory Analysis Leverage Ratios: Mark (Pension Plan) The leverage ratios do not apply to Mark because he is not a regulated entity. Marcy (Agent Bank) The transaction results in no additional on-balance sheet exposure to Marcy under GAAP. Marcy s leverage ratio remains unchanged. 12 C.F.R. 217.10(c)(4)(ii)(A), (F). Please note that Marcy s exposure to Dan is over-collateralized in favor of Marcy. If the value of the stock ever exceeded the value of the cash collateral, then Marcy may have to increase the denominator of her supplementary leverage ratio to account for the counterparty credit risk to Dan. 12 C.F.R. 217.10(c)(4)(ii)(F). Dan (Broker Dealer) Provided that the cash collateral is externally financed, which is likely to be the case, Dan may be required to increase the denominators of both leverage ratios by $105 (or the amount of the external financing, if more). Dan s. Dan s supplementary leverage ratio denominator increases by the $5 counterparty credit risk related to the Apple stock borrowed. 12 C.F.R. 217.10(c)(4)(ii)(A), (F).» This additional impact may be mitigated through the use of Dan s own cash or non-cash collateral. 8

Hypothetical 2: Agency Securities Lending to Broker-Dealer for Customer Short Sale A: Stock Borrow B: Stock Loan C: Customer Short Pension Plan Mark Apple Stock $100 Indemnification Agent Bank Marcy Apple Stock $100 Apple Stock $100 Cash Collateral $105 Broker-Dealer Dan Cash Collateral $150 Hedge Fund Emily Facts Emily seeks to borrow $100 of Apple stock to cover a short sale and enlists Dan s assistance; Dan turns to Marcy. Marcy, on behalf of Mark, lends $100 of Apple stock to Dan pursuant to a standard MSLA. Dan in turn loans the shares to Emily to make delivery to satisfy her short sale. Emily provides Dan with $150 of cash collateral, $105 of which Dan then posts to Marcy. Marcy invests the collateral on behalf of Mark. Marcy also provides an indemnification to Mark to protect him in the event that Dan does not return the Apple stock. In some instances, Marcy also provides a second indemnification to Mark to protect him against counterparty credit risk for the cash collateral that Marcy invests in a reverse repo on behalf of Mark. For simplicity, the hypothetical assumes no such second indemnification. Dan s balance sheet will reflect $45 of cash collateral and a $105 cash receivable from Marcy. The Apple stock will remain on Mark s balance sheet for GAAP purposes, assuming that the securities loan is not afforded sale treatment. 9

Hypothetical 2: Agency Securities Lending to Broker-Dealer for Customer Short Sale Regulatory Analysis We focus on Dan s (Broker Dealer) transaction with Emily (Hedge Fund) in this analysis; the analysis for the parties otherwise is identical to Hypothetical 1. LCR: Dan (Broker Dealer) Dan will have an outflow of $75 (50% of the $150 of cash collateral). 12 C.F.R. 249.32(j)(1)(iv) (with the Apple stock presumably qualifying as Level 2B HQLA). Dan s outflow from his transaction with Emily would be larger than Dan s inflow from the transaction with Mark/Marcy, since Dan s stock loan to Emily is subject to Reg T while his stock borrow is not. Emily (Hedge Fund)» If the stock were non-hqla, Dan would have an outflow of $150 (100% of the $150 of cash collateral). 12 C.F.R. 249.32(j)(1)(vi).» On the other hand, still assuming the stock were non-hqla, if Dan had borrowed the stock from another of his customers who was long on the stock, rather than from Marcy, his outflow would be afforded the relatively favorable 50% outflow rate and remain $75 (50% of the $150 of cash collateral). 12 C.F.R. 249.32(j)(1)(v). The LCR does not apply to Emily because she is not a regulated entity. 10

Hypothetical 2: Agency Securities Lending to Broker-Dealer for Customer Short Sale Regulatory Analysis We focus on Dan s (Broker Dealer) transaction with Emily (Hedge Fund) in this analysis; the remainder of the analysis is identical to the prior hypothetical s analysis. NSFR: Dan (Broker Dealer) Dan has an NSFR mismatch. He does not receive ASF from his transaction with Emily, because the cash that he receives is short term funding from a financial institution (Emily is a hedge fund). NSFR 25(a). [Note: In the event Emily were a non-financial corporate customer, the cash would provide Dan with $75 of ASF (50% of the value). NSFR 24(a).] On the other hand, Dan incurs a 15% RSF charge of $15.75 for the collateral he posts to borrow the Apple from Marcy/Mark. NSFR 39(b). Emily (Hedge Fund) Emily is not a regulated entity and is not subject to the NSFR. 11

Hypothetical 2: Agency Securities Lending to Broker-Dealer for Customer Short Sale Regulatory Analysis We focus on Dan s (Broker Dealer) transaction with Emily (Hedge Fund) in this analysis; the remainder of the analysis is identical to the prior hypothetical s analysis. Regulatory Capital (Collateral Haircut Approach): Dan (Broker Dealer) Dan may net the $150 cash collateral received against the $100 exposure on the stock lent, resulting in a -$50 exposure to Emily. 12 C.F.R. 217.37(c)(2),217.132(b)(2)(i). After applying a 10.6% (15% sqrt(2)) market volatility haircut on the stock lent, Dan s exposure to Emily is still negative, but the risk-weighted asset rules do not permit a negative charge, which means total risk weighted assets of $0. 12 C.F.R. 217.37(c)(3), 217.132(b)(2)(ii). Leverage Ratios: Dan (Broker Dealer) Dan must increase the denominator of both of his leverage ratios by $45 for the additional cash collateral received from Emily (in addition to the $105 cash collateral described in Hypothetical One). 12 C.F.R.217.10(c)(4)(ii)(A), (F). Please note that Dan s exposure to Emily is over-collateralized in favor of Dan. If the value of the stock ever exceeded the value of the cash collateral, then Dan may have to increase the denominator of his supplementary leverage ratio denominator to account for the counterparty credit risk to Dan. 12 C.F.R.217.10(c)(4)(ii)(F). 12

Hypothetical 3: Conduit Securities Lending A: Stock Borrow B: Stock Loan Bank-Owned Dealer Dan Apple Stock $100 Apple Stock $100 Cash Collateral $105 Conduit Bank Marcy Cash Collateral $105 Independent Broker Dealer Betsy Facts Marcy borrows $100 of Apple stock from Dan, under a standard MSLA that permits recall of the stock at any time. Marcy then loans the Apple stock to Betsy for $105 cash collateral, also under a standard MSLA with immediate recall. Marcy uses the collateral from Betsy to post to Dan. Marcy is running a matched book. Assuming the securities loan is not afforded sale treatment under GAAP, Marcy records a cash receivable from Dan on the asset side of his balance sheet and a cash payable to Betsy on the liability side of his balance sheet. The Apple stock Marcy borrows from Dan and lends to Betsy are not recorded by Marcy on his balance sheet but remain on Dan s balance sheet pursuant to GAAP. Dan records a cash payable to Marcy on the liability side of his balance sheet. 13

Hypothetical 3: Conduit Securities Lending Regulatory Analysis LCR: Dan (Dealer) Dan has an outflow in the amount of $52.50 (50% of $105) for cash he will repay to Marcy upon the transaction s unwinding. 12 C.F.R. 249.32(j)(1)(iv) (with the Apple stock presumably qualifying as Level 2B HQLA). Because of this outflow, Dan will require HQLA in order to remain LCR-neutral after the transaction. While the stock remains on Dan s balance sheet, it is encumbered because it is pledged to Marcy and thus would not constitute eligible HQLA for Dan. 12 C.F.R. 249.22(b)(1). The cash received by Dan will qualify for HQLA only if it is conveyed to Dan s parent bank for use as Reserve Bank balances in a manner that also satisfies the operational requirements for eligible HQLA. 12 C.F.R. 249.20(a); 249.22(a). In the next hypothetical, we show one method by which Dan can obtain the needed HQLA.» If the stock transferred had not been HQLA (irrespective of whether it qualifies as eligible HQLA for Dan), Dan would have an outflow of $105, resulting in a larger HQLA requirement. 12 C.F.R. 249.32(j)(1)(vi).» If the security loaned had been Treasuries, Dan would not have an outflow, resulting in no HQLA requirement for this particular transaction (although the 75% cap on inflows across all transactions still applies). 12 C.F.R. 249.32(j)(1)(i). 14

Hypothetical 3: Conduit Securities Lending Regulatory Analysis LCR (Continued): Marcy (Conduit Bank) Marcy has both an inflow in the amount of $52.50 (50% of $105) for the cash to be received from Dan and an outflow in the amount of $52.50 (50% of $105) for cash to be paid to Betsy. 12 C.F.R. 249.32(j)(1)(iv); 249.33(f)(1)(v) (with the Apple stock presumably qualifying as Level 2B HQLA). Because Marcy has a matched book, they negate each other for net outflow purposes, subject to the bank-wide cap of inflows at 75% of outflows. 12 C.F.R. 249.30(a)(2) Thus, Marcy may require 25% of $52.50 ($13.13) of HQLA to remain LCR-neutral regardless of the matched outflow and inflow. Because the securities loan is for less than 30 days, the Apple stock does not qualify as HQLA for Marcy. 12 C.F.R. 249.22(b)(5).» If the stock transferred had not been HQLA (irrespective of whether it qualifies as eligible HQLA for Marcy), Marcy would have an inflow of $105 and an outflow of $105, resulting in a larger HQLA requirement (potentially 25% of $105). 12 C.F.R. 249.32(j)(1)(vi); 249.33(f)(1)(vi).» If the security borrowed/loaned had been Treasuries, Marcy would not have an inflow or an outflow, resulting in no HQLA requirement. 12 C.F.R. 249.32(j)(1)(i); 249.33(f)(1)(iii). Betsy (Independent Broker Dealer) Betsy is not subject to the LCR because she is not affiliated with a bank. 15

Hypothetical 3: Conduit Securities Lending Regulatory Analysis NSFR: Dan (Dealer) Dan has an NSFR mismatch. For NSFR purposes, the Apple stock continues to belong to Dan. NSFR 32. The Apple stock on his balance sheet incurs a 50% RSF factor (a charge of $50), but the cash he receives from Marcy has a 0% ASF factor. NSFR 40(a), 25(a). Dan will need to find ASF elsewhere. Marcy (Conduit Bank) Marcy also has an NSFR mismatch. The cash loan to Dan will incur a 15% RSF (a charge of $15.75), but the cash received from Betsy has a 0% ASF factor. NSFR 39(b), 25(a). Marcy will need to find ASF elsewhere. Betsy (Independent Broker Dealer) Betsy is not subject to the NSFR because she is not affiliated with a bank. 16

Hypothetical 3: Conduit Securities Lending Regulatory Analysis Regulatory Capital: (Collateral Haircut Approach) Dan (Dealer) Dan may net the $105 cash collateral received from Marcy against the $100 exposure on the stock lent to Marcy, resulting in a -$5 exposure to Marcy. 12 C.F.R. 217.37(c)(2), 217.132(b)(2)(i). Dan will, however, have to take a 10.6% (15% sqrt(2)) market volatility haircut on the stock, which may result in total risk weighted assets of approximately $5.6. 12 C.F.R. 217.37(c)(3), 217.132(b)(2)(ii). Marcy (Conduit Bank) Marcy has exposure to both Dan and Betsy. Marcy s exposure to Betsy is essentially the same as Dan s exposure to Marcy, resulting in a capital charge of approximately $5.6. Marcy s exposure to Dan is the $5 over-collateralization increased by a 10.6% market volatility haircut on the stock. Marcy s total risk weighted assets would be approximately $21.2. 12 C.F.R. 217.37(c)(2), (3), 217.132(b)(2)(i), (ii). Betsy (Independent Broker Dealer) Betsy is not subject to regulatory capital requirements because she is not affiliated with a bank. 17

Hypothetical 3: Conduit Securities Lending Regulatory Analysis Leverage Ratios: Dan (Dealer) Dan must increase the denominator of both of his leverage ratios by $105 as a result of an increase in assets to offset the $105 payable (cash collateral). 12 C.F.R. 217.10(c)(4)(ii)(A), (F). Please note that Dan s exposure to Marcy is over-collateralized in favor of Dan. If the value of the stock ever exceeded the value of the cash collateral, then Dan may have to increase the denominator of his supplementary leverage ratio to account for the counterparty credit risk to Marcy. 12 C.F.R.217.10(c)(4)(ii)(F). Marcy (Conduit Bank) Marcy must increase the denominator of both of his leverage ratios by $105 for the cash collateral received from Betsy (in the form of an on-balance sheet receivable), and in the case of the supplementary leverage ratio, must add a counterparty credit risk measure of $5 resulting from his over-collateralization exposure to Dan. 12 C.F.R. 217.10(c)(4)(ii)(A), (F). Please note that Marcy s exposure to Betsy is over-collateralized in favor of Marcy. If the value of the stock ever exceeded the value of the cash collateral, then Marcy may have to increase the denominator of his supplementary leverage ratio to account for the counterparty credit risk to Betsy. 12 C.F.R.217.10(c)(4)(ii)(F). Betsy (Independent Broker Dealer) Betsy is not subject to leverage ratio requirements because she is not affiliated with a bank. 18

Hypothetical 4: Collateral Upgrade/Asset Exchange/Collateral Swap A: Collateral Upgrade B: Stock Borrow C: Stock Loan Fannie Mae Bonds $100 Bank-Owned IBM $115 Broker-Dealer Margaret Bank-Owned Dealer Dan Apple Stock $100 Apple Stock $100 Cash $105 Conduit Bank Marcy Cash $105 Independent Broker Dealer Betsy Facts In order to raise the additional HQLA that will be required for him to engage in the conduit lending transaction discussed in hypothetical 3 (and other transactions), Dan engages in a collateral upgrade transaction with Margaret. Dan pledges $115 of IBM (which, for purposes of this hypothetical, we assume qualifies as Level 2B HQLA) to Margaret and borrows $100 of Fannie Mae bonds (which, for purposes of this hypothetical, we assume qualify as Level 2A HQLA) from Margaret, subject to an agreement to return the Fannie Mae bonds to Margaret in 35 days (needs to be beyond 30 days term or evergreen). Margaret has provided a collateral upgrade to Dan. Margaret holds the Fannie Mae bonds on her balance sheet, while Dan holds the IBM shares on his balance sheet. Collateral upgrades can be bilateral or tri-party transactions. For simplicity, the hypothetical is a bilateral collateral upgrade. The regulatory analysis for a tri-party transaction would not be significantly different. 19

Hypothetical 4: Collateral Upgrade/Asset Exchange/Collateral Swap Regulatory Analysis LCR: Margaret (Broker Dealer) Dan (Dealer) Margaret does not have an inflow or an outflow (on the day the transaction is entered into) because the upgrade won t be unwound for more than 30 days. 12 C.F.R. 249.32(j), 249.33(f). Thus, Margaret does not have to hold additional HQLA because of this transaction. Margaret can count the IBM stock she receives from Dan as HQLA, so long as the stock (1) does not cause her level 2 HQLA amount to exceed 40% of her total HQLA, (2) does not cause her Level 2B HQLA amount to exceed 15% of her total HQLA and (3) meets the operational and generally applicable requirements for HQLA. 12 C.F.R. 249.21(d), (e); 249.22(a), (b). Dan can count the Fannie Mae bonds that he received from Margaret as HQLA, so long as the bonds (1) do not cause his Level 2 HQLA to exceed 40% of his total HQLA and (2) meet the operational and generally applicable requirements for eligible HQLA. 12 C.F.R. 249.21(d); 249.22(a), (b). Dan does not have an inflow or an outflow (on the day the transaction is entered into) because the upgrade won t be unwound for more than 30 days. 12 C.F.R. 249.32(j), 249.33(f). Thus, Dan does not have to hold additional HQLA because of this transaction. 20

Hypothetical 4: Collateral Upgrade/Asset Exchange/Collateral Swap Regulatory Analysis NSFR: In the case of a collateral upgrade, banking organizations should exclude from their assets securities that they have borrowed (where they do not have beneficial ownership) and should include securities that they have lent. NSFR 32. Margaret (Broker Dealer) Dan (Dealer) Margaret includes her Fannie Mae bonds in her NSFR calculation. Because Margaret was already including her assets in her NSFR calculations, this transaction is NSFR neutral for her.» Margaret receives a 15% RSF charge of $15 for her Fannie Mae bonds. NSFR 39(a). Dan includes his IBM stock in his NSFR calculation. Because Dan was already including his assets in his NSFR calculations, this transaction is NSFR neutral for him.» Dan receives a 50% RSF charge of $57.5 for his IBM stock. NSFR 31; 40(a). 21

Hypothetical 4: Collateral Upgrade/Asset Exchange/Collateral Swap Regulatory Analysis Regulatory Capital: (Collateral Haircut Approach) Margaret (Broker Dealer) Dan (Dealer) Margaret can net out the Fannie Mae debt securities posted and the IBM stock received, leaving her with a -$15 exposure to Dan on the Fannie Mae debt securities. 12 C.F.R. 217.31(c)(2), 217.132(b)(2)(i). Margaret will also have to take a 10.6% (15% sqrt(2)) haircut on the IBM stock and a 0.7% to 4.2% (1% or 6% sqrt(2)) on the Fannie Mae bonds, resulting in total risk weighted assets ranging from approximately $0 to $1.44. 12 C.F.R. 217.37(c)(3), 217.132(b)(2)(ii). Dan can net out the Fannie Mae bonds received and the IBM stock posted, leaving him with a $15 exposure to Margaret on the IBM stock. 12 C.F.R. 217.37(c)(2), 217.132(b)(2)(i). Dan will also have to take a 10.6% (15% sqrt(2)) haircut on the IBM stock and a 0.7% to 4.2% (1% or 6% sqrt(12)) haircut on the Fannie Mae bonds, resulting in total risk weighted assets ranging from approximately $27.90 to $31.44. 12 C.F.R. 217.37(c)(3), 217.132(b)(2)(ii). 22

Hypothetical 4: Collateral Upgrade/Asset Exchange/Collateral Swap Regulatory Analysis Leverage Ratios: Margaret (Broker Dealer) Dan (Dealer) The transaction results in an additional on-balance sheet exposure to Margaret for the IBM stock received, though Margaret s leverage ratio remains unchanged due to the special rules for security-for-security repostyle transactions until Margaret re-pledges or sells the IBM stock. 12 C.F.R. 217.10(c)(4)(ii)(A). Please note that Margaret s exposure to Dan is over-collateralized in favor of Margaret. If the value of the Fannie Mae debt ever exceeded the value of the stock collateral, then Margaret may have to increase the denominator of her supplementary leverage ratio to account for the counterparty credit risk to Dan. 12 C.F.R.217.10(c)(4)(ii)(F). The transaction results in no additional on-balance sheet exposure to Dan under GAAP. Dan s leverage ratio remains unchanged, while Dan s supplementary leverage ratio denominator increases by the $15 counterparty credit risk related to the IBM stock lent. 12 C.F.R. 217.10(c)(4)(ii)(A), (F). 23

Broker Dealers and Bank Counterparties in the New Bank Regulatory Landscape Panel 3: Where do we go from here?-- Responding to the Framework Discussion Deck February 4, 2015

Seeking Solutions -- Agenda Finding Your Pressure Point(s) Knock-on Impacts on Broker-Dealer Businesses Using Technology Central Counterparties; New Counterparties Exploring Asset Exchanges and Derivatives Lengthening the Term (Tenor) 2

Finding Your Pressure Point(s) There is no immediately evident silver bullet answer that solves the complex equation of capital, leverage and liquidity requirements. Not only will solutions need to be institution-specific, but they will also change over time as the businesses and activities change. For example, if there is a sudden increase in demand by customers for short sales, it will heighten certain issues but lessen others. One useful approach could be to determine which of the rules presents the most challenges to a business line (and to the organization as a whole) and then solve for that issue. This approach will require regular reevaluation and possibly solving for a different requirement when business conditions change. 3

Knock-on Impacts on Broker-Dealer Businesses Broker-dealers have existing financial responsibility rules from the SEC, including net capital (Rule 15c3-1) and customer protection (Rule 15c3-3) requirements. Net capital essentially requires the broker-dealer to maintain more than one dollar of highly liquid assets for each dollar of unsubordinated liabilities. The broker-dealer first calculates its net assets, which includes all allowable assets less applicable haircuts. Next, the broker-dealer compares the net liquid assets against its chosen financial ratios, which can be either: (a) the 15-to-1 aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio; or (b) the 2% of aggregate debit items ratio. The Rule also sets a floor amount. The customer protection rule sets forth the methods by which a broker-dealer must obtain and retain possession and control of customer funds and securities, which includes securities associated with sec lending and repo agreements. The rule also requires broker-dealers to lock up customer cash ( free credit balances ) and other credit items, less monies customers owe to the broker-dealer, by making a deposit into a Reserve Bank Account. These steps help ensure that the broker-dealer does not impermissibly use customer assets for its own business purposes. For bank-affiliated brokers, the SEC requirements apply first, but the capital, leverage and liquidity requirements from banking regulation apply as the broker is rolled up into the larger organization. 4

Using Technology These rule sets are complex and highly technical. Gathering the information necessary to perform the calculations, and then making the calculations themselves require significant computing power. As seen in the hypotheticals, the transactions have implications under various rule sets. Firms might do well to develop their systems in a way that adopts an integrated approach to gathering the information and performing the calculations in order to see the impacts across rule sets, rather than looking at single rules in isolation. The development of sophisticated algorithms and programs to perform scenario analysis and help suggest adjustments to possible responsive strategies might give personnel good suggestions on how to handle situations. 5

Central Counterparties; New Counterparties Central counterparties can allow for aggregate netting allowing for a more holistic approach that lessens overall obligations, rather than having to apply the rules on a transaction-by-transaction basis. One potential downside of central counterparties is the need to post margin, and the implications of margin under the rule sets. Looking to new counterparties, especially non-financial corporate clients and public sector entities, can provide some relief, especially with regard to longerterm funding needs. It is unclear how actively those clients want to participate in the financial markets. 6

Exploring Asset Exchanges and Derivatives Asset exchanges go by many names, including collateral swaps and collateral upgrades. The idea is to give the counterparty a financial instrument you do not need in exchange for one you need. This technique can be used to obtain HQLA or appropriate collateral for posting at a central counterparty. If documented properly to keep the received asset off balance sheet, it can provide helpful securities while avoiding NSFR, capital and leverage implications. Derivatives also can have lesser impacts, because the rules focus not on notional amount but margin posted or the net assets and liabilities (except when booked at the broker-dealer). 7
