The requests seek information about the foreclosure protocols of Litton Loan Servicing LP (Litton), the firm’s residential mortgage servicing subsidiary, and any deviations therefrom. The firm is cooperating with the requests and is reviewing Litton’s practices in this area. Litton has temporarily suspended evictions and foreclosure and real estate owned sales in a number of states, including those with judicial foreclosure procedures. As of the date of this filing, the firm is not aware of foreclosures where the underlying foreclosure decision was not warranted. As of September 30, 2010, the value of the firm’s mortgage servicing rights was not material and any impact on their value would not be material to the firm. Similarly, at this time the firm does not expect the suspension of evictions and foreclosure and real estate owned sales to lead to a material increase in its mortgage servicing-related advances. </div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="left" style="margin-left: 4%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> <b><i><font style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica">Guaranteed Minimum Death and Income Benefits</font></i></b> </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt; font-size: 1pt"> </div> <div align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; margin-right: 0%; text-indent: 5%; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; color: #000000; background: transparent"> In connection with its insurance business, the firm is contingently liable to provide guaranteed minimum death and income benefits to certain contract holders and has established a reserve related to $5.87 billion and $6.35 billion of contract holder account balances as of September 2010 and December 2009, respectively, for such benefits.

The firm may also provide indemnifications protecting against changes in or adverse application of certain U.S. tax laws in connection with ordinary-course transactions such as securities issuances, borrowings or derivatives. In addition, the firm may provide indemnifications to some counterparties to protect them in the event additional taxes are owed or payments are withheld, due either to a change in or an adverse application of certain <font style="white-space: nowrap">non-U.S. tax</font> laws. These indemnifications generally are standard contractual terms and are entered into in the ordinary course of business.
