Different assumptions could significantly affect these estimated fair values. Accordingly, the net realizable values could be materially different from the estimates presented below. In addition, the estimates are only indicative of the value of individual financial instruments and should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Corporation.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 16px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align="justify"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" size="1">The following disclosures represent financial instruments in which the ending balance at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are not carried at fair value in its entirety on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" size="2"><b><font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" color="#4C4C4C" size="1">Short-term Financial Instruments</font></b></font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align="justify"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" size="1">The carrying value of short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, time deposits placed, federal funds sold and purchased, resale and certain repurchase agreements, commercial paper and other short-term investments and borrowings, approximates the fair value of these instruments. These financial instruments generally expose the Corporation to limited credit risk and have no stated maturities or have short-term maturities and carry interest rates that approximate market. The Corporation elected to account for certain structured reverse repurchase agreements under the fair value option. See <i>Note 20 – Fair Value Measurements</i> for additional information on these structured reverse repurchase agreements.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" size="2"><b><font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" color="#4C4C4C" size="1">Loans</font></b></font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align="justify"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" size="1">Fair values were generally determined by discounting both principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected using an observable discount rate for similar instruments with adjustments that the Corporation believes a market participant would consider in determining fair value. The Corporation estimates the cash flows expected to be collected using internal credit risk, interest rate and prepayment risk models that incorporate the Corporation’s best estimate of current key assumptions, such as default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds for the life of the loan. The Corporation elected to account for certain large corporate loans which exceeded the Corporation’s single name credit risk concentration guidelines under the fair value option. See <i>Note 20 – Fair</i> <i>Value Measurements</i> for additional information on loans for which the Corporation adopted the fair value option.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font size="1"> </font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font size="1"> </font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" size="2"><b><font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" color="#4C4C4C" size="1">Deposits</font></b></font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align="justify"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" size="1">The fair value for certain deposits with stated maturities was calculated by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates for instruments with similar maturities. The carrying value of foreign time deposits approximates fair value. For deposits with no stated maturities, the carrying amount was considered to approximate fair value and does not take into account the significant value of the cost advantage and stability of the Corporation’s long-term relationships with depositors. The Corporation elected to account for certain long-term fixed-rate deposits which are economically hedged with derivatives under the fair value option. See <i>Note 20 – Fair Value Measurements</i> for additional information on these long-term fixed-rate deposits.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font size="1"> </font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" size="2"><b><font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" color="#4C4C4C" size="1">Long-term Debt</font></b></font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align="justify"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" size="1">The Corporation uses quoted market prices for its long-term debt when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on current market interest rates and credit spreads for debt with similar maturities. The Corporation elected to account for certain structured notes under the fair value option. See <i>Note 20 – Fair Value Measurements</i> for additional information on these structured notes.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 16px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" align="justify"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: ARIAL" size="1">The carrying and fair values of certain financial instruments at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px;
