to acquire certain assets of Bear Stearns and to manage those assets through time to maximize repayment of
the credit extended and to minimize disruption to financial markets. Payments by Maiden Lane LLC from the
proceeds of the net portfolio holdings will be made in the following order: operating expenses of the LLC,
principal due to the FRBNY, interest due to the FRBNY, principal due to JPMorgan Chase & Co., and interest
due to JPMorgan Chase & Co. Any remaining funds will be paid to the FRBNY.

Note on consolidation:
On June 26, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York extended a loan under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act to Maiden Lane LLC, a limited liability company
formed to acquire certain assets of Bear Stearns. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is the primary beneficiary of Maiden Lane LLC. Consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles, the assets and liabilities of Maiden Lane LLC have been consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the preparation of the
statements of condition shown on this release. As a consequence of the consolidation, the extension of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to Maiden Lane LLC is
eliminated, the net assets of Maiden Lane LLC appear as an asset in this table (and table 1 and table 4), and the liabilities of Maiden Lane LLC to entities other than the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, including those with recourse only to the portfolio holdings of Maiden Lane LLC, are included in other liabilities on the next page (and in table 1 and
table 4).
