The creditworthiness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us.
 
Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other banks. Banks are interrelated as a result of lending, clearing, counterparty and other relationships. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more banks, or the banking industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions. Many of the transactions engaged in by us and our banking subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business expose us to credit risk in the event of default of our counterparty or customer. In such instances, the collateral held by us may be insufficient to mitigate our losses, as we may be unable to realize or liquidate at prices sufficient to recover the full amount of the exposure due us. Such losses could have a material and adverse affect on our results of operations.
