As discussed in Item 1.01(a) above, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, on November 21, 2008, the Company and the Bank amended and restated the TRS. Under the amended TRS, the Company will pay to the Bank any losses (including losses incurred through a sale of the securities) the Bank incurs from its ownership of specified underlying securities and a return on the price paid for the securities equal to the LIBOR rate plus 200 basis points, and the Bank will pay to the Company any interest or other amounts it receives on the securities in excess of the price it paid for the securities. The maximum future amount that the Company could be required to pay under the TRS would be $337 million, the purchase price the Bank paid for the underlying securities as adjusted for subsequent repayments, plus financing costs.

As discussed in Item 1.01(c) above, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, the Company has entered into the LRP CSA with LRP. The maximum future amount that the Company could be required to pay under the LRP CSA would be the $135 million aggregate contribution amount.

The maximum future amount that the Company could be required to pay under the Amended LRP CSAs would be the $925 million aggregate contribution amount.

As discussed in Item 1.01(e) above, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, the Company has amended three capital support agreements with WAMMF. The maximum future amount that the Company could be required to pay under the Amended WAMMF CSAs would be the $285 million aggregate contribution amount.

As discussed in Item 1.01(f) above, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference, the Company has amended two capital support agreements with WAIMMF.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As of November 28, the Company's liquidity business had approximately $167.1 billion of assets under management. Of this amount, investments by money market funds in structured investment vehicles and other similar conduits represented approximately 1.7%. As discussed in the Company's earlier filings, the Company has previously taken steps to provide support for investments in securities issued by structured investment vehicles and other similar conduits by money market funds managed by a Company subsidiary, including by the Company or the Bank (as part of the TRS arrangements) acquiring certain securities from money market funds which acquired securities are not included in the numbers contained in the previous sentence. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference is a press release discussing the actions disclosed herein and summarizing the Company's estimated charge to operating results to date during the quarter ending December 31, 2008 resulting from all of the support arrangements provided to date. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference is a schedule summarizing the Company's estimated charges to operating results to date for the quarter ending December 31, 2008 and cumulatively for all periods resulting from each form of support the Company has provided to date.
