supports our core net income before tax calculations. 2Q09 - 4Q09 included material gains from loan portfolio swaps. Swaps are used to manage
interest rate risk and were generally added near the peak in the rate cycle. As hedges became ineffective, gains were realized.

(1) Cash drag refers to the adverse impact on the net interest margin due to the total balance of cash held in interest-bearing accounts. Assumptions
used to compute the cash drag include investing the cash at a rate of 4.5%, similar to the rate achieved on recent loan production. Liquidity targets and
loan demand are factors that may prevent fully deploying such cash; the cash drag is shown for illustrative purposes only.

*Assumes a parallel shift in the yield curve; key assumptions include a slow and a fast deposit repricing response (i.e. if deposit rates are slow to
increase Zions expects a 7.2% increase in interest sensitive income, and if deposits were to reprice quickly Zions expects a 4.2% increase in interest
sensitive income); sensitivity analysis based on 2Q10 data

CDO Portfolio Summary
§ Credit-related OTTI losses in 3Q10: $23.7 million
– The increase in impairment (compared to 2Q10 OTTI of $18.1 million)
is primarily due to assumption changes in prepayment speeds on trust
preferred securities, given the adoption of the Dodd-Frank Act.

CDO Stress Testing - OTTI
§Deterioration in PDs % means that the
default curve applied to the performing
collateral of each deal is made worse
by the percentage indicated. Thus a
deal with a default curve of 5%
stressed to a 25% “Deterioration in
PDs %” would have a 6.25% default
probability curve applied to it, a deal
with 20% would go to 25% and so
forth. A “Deterioration in PDs %”
stress of 100% would double the PD
curve being applied to a deal's
collateral.
