Represents the additional allowance related to the amount of uncollectible interest reserved within interest income that is trans-
ferred in the period to the allowance for loan losses when interest is capitalized to a loan’s principal balance. Prior to 2008, the
interest provision was reversed in interest income and then provided for through provision within the allowance for loan loss.
For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, this amount was $21 million and $12 million, respectively.
