Information Systems and Communications Expense</b></font></p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">
<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Occupancy
expense and information systems and communications expense include
expense for depreciation of buildings, leasehold improvements,
computers, equipment and furniture and fixtures. Total depreciation
expense for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007
was $394 million, $365 million and $319 million,
respectively.</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">
<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">We lease
approximately 872,000 square feet at One Lincoln Street, our
headquarters building located in Boston, Massachusetts, and a
related 366,000 square-foot underground parking garage, under
20-year, non-cancelable capital leases expiring in September 2023.
In addition, we lease approximately 362,000 square feet at 20
Churchill Place, an office building located in the U.K., under a
20-year capital lease expiring in December 2028, with the option to
cancel the lease after the first 15 years. As of December 31,
2009 and 2008, an aggregate net book value of $660 million and
$675 million, respectively, related to the above-described
capital leases was recorded in premises and equipment in our
consolidated statement of condition, with the related liability
recorded in long-term debt. Capital lease asset amortization is
recorded in occupancy expense over the respective lease term. Lease
payments are recorded as a reduction of the liability, with a
portion recorded as imputed interest expense. For the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and 2007, interest expense related
to these capital lease obligations, reflected in net interest
revenue, was $47 million, $36 million and $36 million,
respectively. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, accumulated
amortization of assets related to capital leases was
$185 million and $139 million, respectively.</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">
<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">We have entered
into non-cancelable operating leases for premises and equipment.
Nearly all of these leases include renewal options. Costs related
to operating leases for office space are recorded in occupancy
expense. Costs related to operating leases for computers and
equipment are recorded in information systems and communications
expense.</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">
<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Total rental
expense, net of sublease revenue, amounted to $230 million,
$241 million and $199 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Total rental expense was reduced by sublease revenue
of $17 million, $11 million and $15 million for the
years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.</font></p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">
<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">During 2007, we
terminated an operating lease related to one of our office
buildings in Boston, in connection with an overall evaluation of
our office space as a result of our July 2007 acquisition of
Investors Financial. The termination of the lease resulted in the
recognition of a charge of approximately $91 million, which
was included in merger and integration costs recorded in our 2007
consolidated statement of income in connection with the
acquisition.</font></p>

<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The following
table presents a summary of future minimum lease payments under
non-cancelable capital and operating leases as of December 31,
2009. Future minimum rental commitments have been reduced by
aggregate sublease rental commitments of $65 million for
capital leases and $77 million for operating leases. The
decrease in future operating lease payments compared to amounts
reported in prior years generally resulted from adjustments of and
changes to existing leases, as well as the inclusion of cancelation
options related to certain leases in the U.S. and
Europe.</font></p>
