Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis
Our interest rate risk management seeks to limit the impact of short-term movements in interest rates on our
results of operations and financial position. The following tables summarize the potential effect on earnings over
the next 12 months and the potential effect on fair values of balance sheet assets and liabilities at December 31,
2011 and 2010, based upon a sensitivity analysis performed by management assuming a hypothetical increase in
market interest rates of 100 basis points and 300 basis points while funding spreads remain constant.
Additionally, as it relates to the effect on earnings, a sensitivity analysis was performed assuming the funding
index increases 25 basis points while holding the asset index constant, if the funding index is different than the
asset index. The earnings sensitivity is applied only to financial assets and liabilities, including hedging
instruments, that existed at the balance sheet date and does not take into account new assets, liabilities or hedging
instruments that may arise in 2012.

while holding the asset index constant.
