Diversified Loan and Lease Portfolio

Overview Our CapitalSource Division has dedicated groups that work with private equity sponsor firms throughout the US to provide senior debt financing to mature and profitable companies (Cash Flow lending). All Cash Flow loans are senior debt obligations (other lenders may provide subordinate or mezzanine financing) Average loan size of approximately $20 million Approximately 50% of Cash Flow loans are Shared National Credits (see page 19) Since 2010, the principal focus of Cash Flow lending has been Healthcare, Technology, and Security Monitoring; lending to industries with high historical loss experience was either discontinued entirely (Media) or substantially reduced (General). General Cash Flow lending now focuses on businesses that have substantial market shares, with barriers to entry, and are supported by proven equity sponsors. * Measured on a fully-funded basis at closing and shown as a % of commitments originated.

CapitalSource Credit Profile: Lessons Learned and Changes Implemented CapitalSource experienced elevated losses on loans originated between 2003 and 2008. 7.5% cumulative losses on $24 billion of originations, the substantial majority from lending products which were subsequently discontinued During 2008–09, a transformative de-risking effort was launched that included executive management changes, formation of an FDIC-insured bank subsidiary and significant adjustments to lending practices. Management changes included the promotion of Jim Pieczynski to CEO in 2010 CapitalSource Bank adopted new bank-standard lending policies appropriate for an FDIC-insured institution Lending products that comprised nearly two-thirds of the aggregate losses were discontinued, including: Other lending product standards were adjusted: Limited general cash flow lending to selected industries and borrowers with strong market share, barriers to entry and support of proven equity sponsors Focused CRE lending on stabilized cash-flowing collateral Narrowed focus of Lender Finance group Added new lower-risk lending products, including SBA, multifamily, equipment and life insurance premium finance. Of the $24 million originated from 2003 to 2008, approximately $402 million remains outstanding with $0.2 million classified as of September 30, 2016.

At September 30, 2016, we had 14 Non-PCI loan and lease relationships totaling $101.7 million to obligors associated with oil and gas industry support services representing less than 1% of total loans and leases. Substantially all these loans and leases are secured by equipment, such as drilling equipment and transportation vehicles, and are fully amortizing. At September 30, 2016, two relationships totaling $40.3 million were on nonaccrual status and were classified. Reserves related to our impaired oil and gas services industry exposure were 24% and reserves related to our total oil and gas services industry exposure were approximately 14% at September 30, 2016. Unfunded commitments related to the oil & gas portfolio total $21.6 million at September 30, 2016 and relate to three relationships governed with a borrowing base for A/R and inventory.

GAAP Accounting distorts the ACL ratio. When unamortized purchase discount is added back, the adjusted Non-PCI coverage ratio is 1.41% at September 30, 2016. Unamortized purchase discount represents the acquisition date fair value adjustment based on market, liquidity and interest rate risk in addition to credit risk and is being accreted to interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans. Such discount relates to acquired loans and is assigned specifically to those loans only. Use of the interest method results in steadily declining amounts being taken to income in each reporting period. The remaining discount of $53.0 million at September 30, 2016 is expected to be substantially accreted to income by the end of 2018.
