Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. Certain items in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report of Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the Corporation) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Derivative Instruments
     The Corporation uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value in either, “accrued income and other assets” or “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument is determined by whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Corporation designates the hedging instrument, based on the exposure being hedged, as either a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. For further information, refer to Note 10.
Share-Based Compensation
Comerica Incorporated Share-Based Compensation Plans
     In the first quarter 2006, the Corporation adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123(R)), “Share-Based Payment,” using the modified-prospective transition method. The Corporation recognizes compensation expense under SFAS No. 123(R) using the straight-line method over the requisite service period. Measurement and attribution of compensation cost for awards that were granted prior to the date SFAS No. 123(R) was adopted continue to be based on the estimate of the grant-date fair value and attribution method used under prior accounting guidance. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the benefit of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation costs was reported in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires such excess tax benefits be reported as a cash inflow from financing activities, rather than a cash flow from operating activities; therefore, these amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are reported in net cash provided by financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
     In 2002, the Corporation adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”), which the Corporation applied prospectively to new share-based compensation awards granted to employees after December 31, 2001. Options granted prior to January 1, 2002 were accounted for under the intrinsic value method, as outlined in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Net income and earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 fully reflect the impact of applying the fair value recognition method to all outstanding and unvested awards. There would have been no effect on reported net income and earnings per share if the fair value method required by SFAS No. 123 (as amended by SFAS No. 148) had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in the six months ended June 30, 2005.
     SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the expense associated with share-based compensation awards be recorded over the requisite service period. The requisite service period is the period an employee is required to provide service in order to vest in the award, which cannot extend beyond the retirement eligible date (the date at which the employee is no longer required to perform any service to receive the share-based compensation). Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Corporation recorded the expense associated with share-based compensation awards over the explicit service period (vesting period). Upon retirement, any remaining unrecognized costs related to share-based compensation awards retained after retirement were expensed. Share-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects, would have decreased $3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and increased $3 million in the same period in the prior year, had the requisite service period provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) been applied on a historical basis.

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies (continued)
     Applying the requisite service period provisions to all 2006 share-based compensation awards is expected to result in a net increase of approximately $16 million in compensation expense ($10 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, net of related tax effects) related to these awards in 2006, of which $2 million ($1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, net of related tax effects) was recorded and $12 million ($8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, net of related tax effects) was recorded in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
     The Corporation has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards,” for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123(R). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that were outstanding and fully or partially unvested upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).
Share-Based Compensation Plans of the Corporation’s Munder Subsidiary
     Munder Capital Management (Munder), a 96 percent-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (approximately 90 percent owned on a fully diluted basis), had share-based compensation awards that were accounted for as liabilities at the time SFAS No. 123(R) was adopted. The liability reflected the fair value of ownership shares (points) held by minority-interest holders. SFAS No. 123(R) requires vested, unexercised option points and a pro-rata portion of unvested option and restricted points be classified as liabilities and recorded at current fair value. Fair value for option points was determined using an option pricing model. As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Corporation incurred a transition expense of $8 million, net of related tax effects, on January 1, 2006, which was reported as “cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax” on the consolidated statements of income. After a further valuation change at the end of March 2006, Munder modified its share-based compensation plans such that the plans no longer have a mandatory redemption feature, which changed the accounting prospectively from liability accounting to temporary equity accounting. Temporary equity, which was not material, and was included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the June 30, 2006 consolidated balance sheet, reflected the fair value of points owned and the intrinsic value of options held by minority-interest holders.
     For further information on the Corporation’s share-based compensation plans, refer to Note 8 to these consolidated financial statements and Notes 1 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation’s 2005 Annual Report.
Note 2 — Investment Securities
     At June 30, 2006, investment securities having a carrying value of $1.9 billion were pledged where permitted or required by law to secure $637 million of liabilities, including public and other deposits, and derivative instruments. This included securities of $967 million pledged with the Federal Reserve Bank to secure actual treasury tax and loan borrowings of $5 million at June 30, 2006, and potential borrowings of up to an additional $845 million. The remaining pledged securities of $916 million are primarily with state and local government agencies to secure $633 million of deposits and other liabilities, including deposits of the State of Michigan of $178 million at June 30, 2006.

     A loan is impaired when it is probable that interest and principal payments will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Consistent with this definition, all nonaccrual and reduced-rate loans (with the exception of residential mortgage and consumer loans) are impaired. Impaired loans that are restructured and meet the requirements to be on accrual status are included with total impaired loans for the remainder of the calendar year of the restructuring. There were no loans included in the $153 million of impaired loans at June 30, 2006 that were restructured and met the requirements to be on accrual status. Impaired loans averaged $135 million and $133 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and $233 million and $263 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The following presents information regarding the period-end balances of impaired loans:
                 
    Six Months Ended   Year Ended

     In February 2006, Comerica Bank (the Bank), a subsidiary of the Corporation, issued an additional $250 million of 5.20% Subordinated Notes under a series initiated in August 2005. The notes are classified in medium- and long-term debt, pay interest on February 22 and August 22 of each year and mature August 22, 2017. The Bank used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
     During the second quarter 2006, the Bank issued $2.1 billion of floating rate bank notes under an existing $15 billion medium-term senior note program. The Bank used the proceeds to fund loan growth.

Note 5 — Income Taxes and Tax-Related Items
     The provision for income taxes is computed by applying statutory federal income tax rates to income before income taxes as reported in the consolidated financial statements after deducting non-taxable items, principally income on bank-owned life insurance and interest income on state and municipal securities. State and foreign taxes are then added to the federal tax provision. During the first quarter 2006, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed the examination of the Corporation’s federal tax returns for the years 1996 through 2000. Tax reserves and related interest accruals were adjusted in the first quarter 2006 to reflect resolution of those tax years and to reflect an updated assessment of reserves on certain types of structured lease transactions and a series of loans to foreign borrowers. The effect of these adjustments decreased federal taxes ($16 million) and increased interest on tax liabilities ($23 million, $15 million after-tax), recorded in “other noninterest expenses” on the consolidated statements of income. Second quarter 2006 included the settlement of various refund claims with the IRS which reduced interest on tax liabilities by $6 million.
Note 6 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
     Other comprehensive income (loss) includes the change in net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available-for-sale, the change in accumulated net gains and losses on cash flow hedges, the change in the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment and the change in the accumulated minimum pension liability adjustment. The Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity on page 5 include only combined other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The following table presents reconciliations of the components of the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Total comprehensive income totaled $338 million and $386 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The $48 million decrease in total comprehensive income in the six month period ended June 30, 2006, when compared to the same period in the prior year, resulted principally from an increase in net unrealized losses on investment securities available-for-sale ($46 million), due to changes in the interest rate environment, and a decrease in net income ($22 million), partially offset by a decrease in net losses on cash flow hedges ($19 million).

Comerica Incorporated Share-Based Compensation Plans
     The Corporation has share-based compensation plans under which it awards both shares of restricted stock to key executive officers and key personnel, and stock options to executive officers, directors and key personnel of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Restricted stock vests over periods ranging from three to five years. Stock options vest over periods ranging from one to four years. The maturity of each option is determined at the date of grant; however, no options may be exercised later than ten years and one month from the date of grant. The options may have restrictions regarding exercisability. The plans provide for a grant of up to 13.2 million common shares, plus shares currently outstanding under certain plans that are forfeited, expire or cancelled. At June 30, 2006, 13.2 million shares remained available for grant. Substantially all restricted stock and stock option grants planned for 2006 occurred in the first quarter 2006, while substantially all restricted stock and stock option grants for 2005 occurred in the second quarter 2005.
     The Corporation used a binomial model to value stock options granted subsequent to March 31, 2005. Previously, a Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used. Option valuation models require several inputs, including the expected stock price volatility, and changes in input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model used may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of employee and director stock options. The risk-free interest rate assumption used in the binomial option-pricing model as outlined in the table below was based on the federal ten-year treasury interest rate. The expected dividend yield was based on the historical and projected dividend yield patterns of the Corporation. Expected volatility assumptions during the first six months of 2006 considered the historical volatility of the Corporation’s common stock over a ten-year period and implied volatility based on actively traded options on the Corporation’s common stock with pricing terms and trade dates similar to the stock options granted. Previously, only historical volatility was considered under the binomial model. The expected life of employee and director stock options, which is an output of the binomial model, considered the percentage of vested shares estimated to be cancelled over the life of the grant and was based on the historical exercise behavior of the option holders.

(1)   Notional or contract amounts, which represent the extent of involvement in the derivatives market, are used to determine the contractual cash flows required in accordance with the terms of the agreement. These amounts are typically not exchanged, significantly exceed amounts subject to credit or market risk, and are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.
 
(2)   Unrealized gains represent receivables from derivative counterparties, and therefore expose the Corporation to credit risk. Credit risk, which excludes the effects of any collateral or netting arrangements, is measured as the cost to replace, at current market rates, contracts in a profitable position.
 
(3)   The fair values of derivative instruments represent the estimated amounts the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate or otherwise settle the contracts at the balance sheet date. The fair values of all derivative instruments are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 10 - Derivative Instruments (continued)
Risk Management
     Fluctuations in net interest income due to interest rate risk result from the composition of assets and liabilities and the mismatches in the timing of the repricing of these assets and liabilities. In addition, external factors such as interest rates, and the dynamics of yield curve and spread relationships can affect net interest income. The Corporation utilizes simulation analyses to project the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates. Cash instruments, such as investment securities, as well as derivative instruments, are employed to manage exposure to these and other risks, including liquidity risk.
     For hedge relationships accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” at inception of the hedge the Corporation uses the short-cut method if it qualifies, or applies dollar offset or statistical regression analysis to assess effectiveness. The short-cut method is used for fair value hedges of medium and long-term debt. This method allows for the assumption of zero hedge ineffectiveness and eliminates the requirement to further assess hedge effectiveness on these transactions. For SFAS No. 133 hedge relationships to which the Corporation does not apply the short-cut method, dollar offset or statistical regression analysis is used at inception and for each reporting period thereafter to assess whether the derivative used has been and is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. All components of each derivative instrument’s gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Net hedge ineffectiveness is recorded in “other noninterest income” on the consolidated statements of income.
     The following table presents net hedge ineffectiveness gains (losses) by risk management hedge type:
                                 
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended

Total

     As an end-user, the Corporation employs a variety of financial instruments for risk management purposes. As part of a fair value hedging strategy, the Corporation has entered into interest rate swap agreements for interest rate risk management purposes. These interest rate swap agreements effectively modify exposure to interest rate risk by converting fixed-rate deposits and debt to a floating rate. These agreements involve the receipt of fixed rate interest amounts in exchange for floating rate interest payments over the life of the agreement, without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.
     As part of a cash flow hedging strategy, the Corporation entered into predominantly 2 to 3 year interest rate swap agreements (weighted-average original maturity of 2.9 years) that effectively convert a portion of its existing and forecasted floating-rate loans to a fixed-rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest income over the next 2 to 3 years. Approximately 17 percent ($8 billion) of outstanding loans were designated as hedged items to interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2006. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges decreased interest and fees on loans by $33 million and $58 million, respectively, compared to an increase of $3 million and $20 million, respectively, for the comparable periods last year. If interest rates, interest yield curves and notional amounts remain at current levels, the Corporation expects to reclassify $75 million of net losses on derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next twelve months due to receipt of variable interest associated with existing and forecasted floating-rate loans.
     Foreign exchange rate risk arises from changes in the value of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Corporation employs cash instruments, such as investment securities, as well as derivative instruments, to manage exposure to these and other risks. In addition, the Corporation uses foreign exchange forward and option contracts to protect the value of its foreign currency investment in foreign subsidiaries. Realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign exchange forward and option contracts used to protect the value of investments in foreign subsidiaries are not included in the statement of income, but are shown in the accumulated foreign currency translation

adjustment account included in other comprehensive income, with the related amounts due to or from counterparties included in other liabilities or other assets. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” the Corporation recognized net gains of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, in accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment, related to the forward foreign exchange contracts.
     Management believes these strategies achieve the desired relationship between the rate maturities of assets and funding sources which, in turn, reduces the overall exposure of net interest income to interest rate risk, although there can be no assurance that such strategies will be successful. The Corporation also uses various other types of derivative instruments to mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risks associated with specific assets or liabilities, which are reflected in the preceding table. Such instruments include interest rate caps and floors, foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign exchange option contracts and foreign exchange cross-currency swaps.
     The following table summarizes the expected maturity distribution of the notional amount of risk management interest rate swaps and provides the weighted-average interest rates associated with amounts to be received or paid on interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2006. Swaps have been grouped by asset and liability designation.

     The Corporation had commitments to purchase investment securities for its trading account portfolio totaling $3 million at June 30, 2006 and $6 million at December 31, 2005. Commitments to sell investment securities related to the trading account portfolio totaled $3 million at June 30, 2006 and $6 million at December 31, 2005. Outstanding commitments expose the Corporation to both credit and market risk.
Customer-Initiated and Other
     Fee income is earned from entering into various transactions, principally foreign exchange contracts, interest rate contracts, and energy derivative contracts at the request of customers. The Corporation mitigates market risk inherent in customer-initiated interest rate and energy contracts by taking offsetting positions, except in those circumstances when the amount, tenor and/or contracted rate level results in negligible economic risk, whereby the cost of purchasing an offsetting contract is not economically justifiable. For customer-initiated foreign exchange contracts, the Corporation mitigates most of the inherent market risk by taking offsetting positions and manages the remainder through individual foreign currency position limits and aggregate value-at-risk limits. These limits are established annually and reviewed quarterly.
     For those customer-initiated derivative contracts which were not offset or where the Corporation holds a speculative position within the limits described above, the Corporation recognized less than $0.5 million of net gains in both the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and $1 million of net gains in both the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, which were included in “other noninterest income” in the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of derivative instruments held or issued in connection with customer-initiated activities, including those customer-initiated derivative contracts where the Corporation does not enter into an offsetting derivative contract position, is included in the table on page 18.
     Fair values for customer-initiated and other derivative instruments represent the net unrealized gains or losses on such contracts and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated income statements. The following table provides the average unrealized gains and losses, and noninterest income generated on customer-initiated and other interest rate contracts, energy derivative contracts and foreign exchange contracts.

Note 11 — Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees
     The total contractual amounts of standby letters of credit and financial guarantees and commercial letters of credit at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, which represents the Corporation’s credit risk associated with these instruments, are shown in the table below.
                 
(in millions)   June 30, 2006   December 31, 2005
 
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees
  $ 6,473     $ 6,433  
Commercial letters of credit
    337       269  
 
     Standby and commercial letters of credit and financial guarantees represent conditional obligations of the Corporation, which guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. These contracts expire in decreasing amounts through the year 2015. Commercial letters of credit are issued to finance foreign or domestic trade transactions and are short-term in nature. The Corporation may enter into participation arrangements with third parties, which effectively reduce the maximum amount of future payments which may be required under standby letters of credit. These risk participations covered $656 million of the $6,473 million of standby letters of credit and financial guarantees outstanding at June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, the carrying value of the Corporation’s standby and commercial letters of credit and financial guarantees, which is included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet, totaled $81 million.
Note 12 — Contingent Liabilities
Legal Proceedings
     The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, the Corporation cannot state what the eventual outcome of these matters will be. However, based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes that current reserves, determined in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” are adequate, and the amount of any incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Tax Contingency
     In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into certain transactions that have tax consequences. From time to time, the IRS questions and/or challenges the tax position taken by the Corporation with respect to those transactions. The Corporation engaged in certain types of structured leasing transactions and a series of loans to foreign borrowers that the IRS disallowed in its examination of the Corporation’s federal tax returns for the years 1996 through 2000. The Corporation believes that its tax position related to both transaction groups referred to above is proper based upon applicable statutes, regulations and case law in effect at the time of the transactions. The Corporation intends to defend its position vigorously in accordance with its view of the law controlling these activities. However, a court, or administrative authority, if presented with the transactions, could disagree with the Corporation’s interpretation of the tax law. The ultimate outcome is not known.
     Based on current knowledge and probability assessment of various potential outcomes, management believes that the current tax reserves, determined in accordance with SFAS No. 5, are adequate to cover the above matters, and the amount of any incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Probabilities and outcomes are reviewed as events unfold, and adjustments to the reserves are made when necessary.

Note 13 — Business Segment Information
     The Corporation has strategically aligned its operations into three major business segments: the Business Bank, the Retail Bank (formerly known as Small Business & Personal Financial Services), and Wealth & Institutional Management. These business segments are differentiated based on the type of customer and the related products and services provided. In addition to the three major business segments, the Finance Division is also reported as a segment. The Finance segment includes the Corporation’s securities portfolio and asset and liability management activities. This segment is responsible for managing the Corporation’s funding, liquidity and capital needs, performing interest sensitivity analysis and executing various strategies to manage the Corporation’s exposure to liquidity, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange risk. The Other category includes the income and expense impact of equity, cash and the unallocated allowance for loan losses, tax benefits not assigned to specific business segments and miscellaneous other expenses of a corporate nature. Business segment results are produced by the Corporation’s internal management accounting system. This system measures financial results based on the internal business unit structure of the Corporation. Information presented is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution. The management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each business segment using certain methodologies, which are regularly reviewed and refined. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on business segments and methodologies in effect at June 30, 2006. These methodologies may be modified as the management accounting system is enhanced and changes occur in the organizational structure and/or product lines.
     In the first quarter 2006, the Corporation began allocating the portion of the allowance for loan losses and the associated provision for loan losses based on industry-specific and international risks, previously included in the Other category, to the three major business segments. Therefore, only the unallocated allowance continues to be reflected in the Other category. For a description of the business activities of each business segment and further information on the methodologies, which form the basis for these results, refer to Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation’s 2005 Annual Report.

Note 14 — Pending Transactions
     In May 2006, the Corporation reached an agreement to sell its Mexican bank charter. The cash sale is subject to regulatory approvals, and is currently expected to close in the third quarter 2006. Subject to market effects, the Corporation expects that the sale will not result in a significant gain or loss. The effects of the sale will be reflected in the Corporation’s Business Bank business segment. As a result of this transaction, in accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” approximately $25 million of loans have been classified as assets held-for-sale which are included in “short-term investments” on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2006. In addition, approximately $15 million of liabilities have been classified as liabilities held-for-sale which are included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2006.
Note 15 — Pending Accounting Pronouncements
     In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 13-2, “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction,” (FSP 13-2). FSP 13-2 requires a recalculation of the lease income from the inception of a leveraged lease if, during the lease term, the expected timing of the income tax cash flows generated from a leveraged lease is revised. Recalculations of affected leveraged leases would result in a one-time non-cash charge to be recognized as a change in accounting principle via a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The amount of the charge, if any, related to the previously recognized lease income would be recognized as income over the remaining lives of the leveraged leases affected by the provision of FSP 13-2. FSP 13-2 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, the Corporation will adopt the provisions of FSP 13-2 in the first quarter 2007. The Corporation is currently evaluating the guidance contained in FSP 13-2 to determine the effect adoption of the guidance will have on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.
     In July 2006, the FASB also issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and requires the Corporation to recognize, in its financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if it is more likely than not that the tax position is valid and would be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. Only tax positions that meet the “more likely than not” recognition criteria at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized in the financial statements upon the adoption of FIN 48. The Interpretation provides guidance on measurement, de-recognition of tax benefits, classification, accounting disclosure, and transition requirements in accounting for uncertain tax positions. Changes in the amount of tax benefits recognized resulting from the application of the provisions of this Interpretation would result in a one-time non-cash charge to be recognized as a change in accounting principle via a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, the Corporation will adopt the provisions of FIN 48 in the first quarter 2007 and is currently evaluating the guidance contained in FIN 48 to determine the effect adoption of the guidance will have on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.
Note 16 — Subsequent Event
     On July 20, 2006, the Corporation announced that it is considering the sale of its stake in Munder Capital Management (Munder), which provides investment advisory services to institutions, municipalities, unions, charitable organizations and private investors, and also serves as investment advisor for Munder Funds. The Corporation has retained Morgan Stanley and Co., Incorporated to act as financial advisor. There is no assurance that a transaction will occur. As of June 30, 2006, Munder had approximately $41 billion in total assets under management. These assets include $9 billion in actively managed equity securities; $6 billion in fixed income securities; $10 billion in cash management assets; and $16 billion in index assets. Munder’s contribution to the Corporation’s pre-tax income was $8 million for the first six months of 2006, which excludes the $12 million pre-tax cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), related to the accounting for options and restricted shares of Munder. Munder’s contribution to the Corporation’s pre-tax income for 2005 was $18 million, which excludes the $53 million pre-tax gain on the sale of its interest in Framlington Group Limited. The Corporation intends to use the proceeds from any sale of Munder to advance its strategy of investing in growth markets and businesses, and to repurchase shares.

     In accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” approximately $65 million of goodwill and an immaterial amount of other assets and liabilities will become assets held-for-sale. The income statement impact associated with the Munder operations held-for-sale, currently included in the Corporation’s Wealth & Institutional Management segment, will be included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income in future reports.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
     Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $200 million, a decrease of $17 million, or eight percent, from $217 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Quarterly diluted net income per share decreased five percent to $1.22 in the second quarter 2006, compared to $1.28 in the same period a year ago. Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 15.50 percent and return on average assets was 1.41 percent for the second quarter 2006, compared to 16.99 percent and 1.68 percent, respectively, for the comparable quarter last year. The decrease in net income in the second quarter 2006 from the comparable quarter last year resulted primarily from a $25 million increase in the provision for loan losses and a $22 million increase in noninterest expenses, resulting principally from an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, partially offset by a $19 million increase in net interest income.
     Net income for the first six months of 2006 was $394 million, or $2.40 per diluted share, compared to $416 million, or $2.44 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year, decreases of five percent and two percent, respectively. Net income in the first six months of 2006 was reduced by $8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, due to a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 15.42 percent and return on average assets was 1.41 percent for the first six months of 2006, compared to 16.36 percent and 1.63 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2005. The $22 million decrease in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from the comparable period a year ago resulted primarily from a $97 million increase in noninterest expenses, resulting principally from increases in salaries expense, the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments and interest expense on tax liabilities, partially offset by a $38 million increase in net interest income and an $11 million increase in noninterest income, resulting principally from an increase in net investment advisory revenue. In addition, the provision for federal income taxes was reduced by a $16 million adjustment in the first six months of 2006.
Net Interest Income
     The rate-volume analysis in Table I details the components of the change in net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis for the three months ended June 30, 2006. On a FTE basis, net interest income increased $19 million to $503 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, from $484 million for the comparable period in 2005, resulting primarily from loan growth and a greater contribution to rate spreads from noninterest-bearing deposits in a higher rate environment. Average earning assets increased $5.0 billion, or 10 percent, to $52.4 billion in the second quarter 2006, compared to the second quarter 2005, primarily due to a $4.6 billion, or 11 percent, increase in average loans to $47.8 billion in the second quarter 2006. The net interest margin (FTE) for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was 3.83 percent, compared to 4.09 percent for the comparable period in 2005. The decrease in the net interest margin (FTE) resulted from an increase of $1.4 billion in average loans (primarily low-rate) to the Corporation’s Financial Services Division (FSD) customers and a decrease of $1.2 billion in average FSD noninterest-bearing deposits, as well as competitive loan pricing and the margin impact of loan growth in excess of deposit growth. These decreases in the net interest margin (FTE) were partially offset by the greater contribution from noninterest-bearing deposits in a higher rate environment as discussed above. For further discussion of the effects of market rates on net interest income, refer to “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”
     Table II provides an analysis of net interest income for the first six months of 2006. On a FTE basis, net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $983 million, compared to $945 million for the same period in 2005, an increase of $38 million. Average earning assets increased $4.6 billion, or 10 percent, to $51.7 billion, in the six months ended June 30, 2006, when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a $4.4 billion, or 10 percent, increase in average loans to $47.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The net interest margin (FTE) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased to 3.82 percent from 4.04 percent for the same period in 2005, due to the reasons cited in the quarterly discussion above.
     Net interest income and net interest margin are impacted by the operations of the Corporation’s Financial Services Division. FSD customers deposit large balances (primarily noninterest-bearing) and the Corporation pays certain customer services expenses (included in “noninterest expenses” on the consolidated statements of income) and/or makes low-rate loans (included in “net interest income” on the consolidated statements of income) to such customers. Footnote (1) to Tables I and II displays average FSD loans and deposits, with related interest income/expense and average rates. As shown in footnote (2) to Tables I and II, the impact of FSD loans (primarily low-rate) on net interest margin (assuming the loans were funded by FSD noninterest-bearing deposits) was a decrease of 18 basis points and 20 basis points in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to a decrease of nine basis points and 11 basis points for the comparable periods in the prior year.
     Management currently expects average full-year 2006 net interest margin of about 3.80 percent.

Provision for Credit Losses
     The provision for loan losses was $27 million for the second quarter 2006, compared to a provision of $2 million for the same period in 2005. The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2006 million was zero, compared to a provision of $3 million for the same period in 2005. The Corporation establishes this provision to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, which is discussed in the section entitled “Allowance for Credit Losses and Nonperforming Assets.” The increase in the provision for loan losses in the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, when compared to the same period in 2005, resulted primarily from loan growth and a leveling off of credit quality trends. These credit trends reflect improving economic conditions in certain of the Corporation’s primary geographic markets. While the economic conditions in the Corporation’s Michigan market deteriorated moderately over the last year, the economic conditions in both the Western and Texas markets have continued to improve somewhat faster than growth in the national economy. The Michigan Business Activity index compiled by the Corporation for the first five months of 2006 declined approximately three percent, compared to the same period of 2005. Intense restructuring efforts in the Michigan-based automotive sector are creating a significant drag on the state economy. Forward-looking indicators suggest that economic conditions in the Corporation’s primary markets are likely to resemble recent trends for the remainder of 2006.
     The Corporation maintains an allowance to cover probable credit losses inherent in lending-related commitments. The provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments was $1 million and $14 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, compared to a negative provision of $3 million and a negative provision of $6 million for the comparable periods in 2005. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in specific reserves related to unused commitments to extend credit to customers in the automotive industry.
     Management currently expects credit-related net charge-offs of 15 to 20 basis points for full year 2006. Also, management currently expects a provision for credit losses, which includes both loan losses and credit losses on lending-related commitments, slightly in excess of credit-related net charge-offs for the remainder of 2006.
Noninterest Income
     Noninterest income was $225 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $6 million, or three percent, over the same period in 2005. Net investment advisory revenue increased $7 million, to $19 million in the second quarter 2006, compared to $12 million in the second quarter 2005, due to significant increases in assets under management in equity funds resulting from new customers. Certain categories included in “other noninterest income” on the consolidated statements of income are highlighted in the table below.
     Noninterest income was $440 million for first six months of 2006, an increase of $11 million, or three percent, over the same period in 2005. Net investment advisory revenue increased $14 million, to $36 million in the first six months of 2006, compared to $22 million in the same period in 2005 for the reasons cited in the quarterly discussion above. In addition, the Corporation recorded an impairment charge of $5 million on certain assets held-for-sale during the first six months of 2006. Certain categories included in “other noninterest income” on the consolidated statements of income are highlighted in the table below.

          (5 )     2       (4 )
 
     Management currently expects low-single digit growth in noninterest income, excluding net gain on sales of businesses, in the full-year 2006, compared to 2005.

Noninterest Expenses
     Noninterest expenses were $405 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $22 million, or six percent, from the comparable period in 2005. Salaries and employee benefits expense, the largest category of noninterest expenses, increased $15 million, or six percent, in the second quarter 2006, compared to the second quarter 2005 due mostly to increases in regular salaries, resulting primarily from annual merit increases and increases in retention expense, and share-based compensation expense. The provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments was $1 million in the second quarter 2006, compared to a negative $3 million in the second quarter 2005. The $4 million increase was primarily due to an increase in specific reserves related to unused commitments to extend credit to customers in the automotive industry. Interest expense on tax liabilities, included in “other noninterest expenses” on the consolidated statements of income, declined $9 million in the second quarter 2006, when compared to same period in 2005, primarily as a result of a $6 million second quarter 2006 settlement of various refund claims discussed below in the section entitled “Provision for Income Taxes and Tax-related Interest”. This decline was offset by increases in various other categories of other noninterest expenses in the second quarter 2006, when compared to the second quarter 2005. Customer services expense, which represents compensation provided to customers and is one method to attract and retain title and escrow deposits in the Corporation’s Financial Services Division, was $9 million in the second quarter of 2006, a decrease of $1 million compared to $10 million for the second quarter of 2005. The amount of customer services expense varies from period to period as a result of changes in the level of noninterest-bearing deposits in the Corporation’s Financial Services Division and the earnings credit allowances provided on these deposits, as well as the competitive environment.

     Noninterest expenses for the first six months of 2006 were $854 million, an increase of $97 million, or 13 percent, from the comparable period in 2005. The increase was primarily due to increases in regular salaries ($21 million), the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments ($20 million), share-based compensation ($15 million), and interest expense on tax liabilities ($15 million). The increase in regular salaries in the first six months of 2006, when compared to the first six months of 2005, resulted mostly from annual merit increases, increases in retention expense, and increases in contract labor costs associated with technology-related projects. The provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments was $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to a negative $6 million in the comparable 2005 period. The increase in the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments was due to the same reasons cited in the quarterly discussion above. Share-based compensation expense increased primarily as a result of adopting the requisite service period provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) effective January 1, 2006, as discussed in Notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements. Interest expense on tax liabilities increased $15 million, to $20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, for the reasons cited below in the section entitled “Provision for Income Taxes and Tax-related Interest.” Customer services expense was $22 million in the first six months of 2006, an increase of $1 million compared to $21 million for the same period in 2005.
     Management currently expects low-single digit noninterest expense growth, excluding the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments, in the full-year 2006, compared to 2005.

Provision for Income Taxes and Tax-related Interest
     The provision for income taxes for the second quarter 2006 was $95 million, compared to $100 million for the same period a year ago. The effective tax rate was 32 percent for both the second quarter 2006 and the second quarter 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the provision for income taxes was $165 million and $196 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the effective tax rate was 29 percent and 32 percent, respectively. In the first quarter 2006, the IRS completed the examination of the Corporation’s federal tax returns for the years 1996 through 2000. Tax reserves were adjusted to reflect the resolution of those tax years, and to reflect an updated assessment of reserves on certain types of structured lease transactions and a series of loans to foreign borrowers. The effect of these adjustments decreased federal taxes ($16 million) and increased interest on tax liabilities ($23 million, $15 million after-tax) in the first quarter 2006. Tax-related interest was reduced by $6 million in the second quarter 2006 upon settlement of various refund claims with the IRS.
     Management currently expects the effective tax rate for the remainder of 2006 to be about 32 percent.
Change in Accounting Principle – Transition Adjustment
     SFAS No. 123(R), adopted on January 1, 2006, affected the accounting for grants of options and restricted shares in Munder Capital Management (Munder). The share-based compensation expense recorded in the first quarter of 2006 was based on the current valuation of Munder, instead of the valuation at the original grant date. The $8 million after-tax change in accounting principle on January 1, 2006 cumulatively recorded the new accounting. After a further valuation change was recorded at the end of March 2006, certain provisions in Munder’s option and restricted share plans were amended to eliminate the need for future valuation adjustments to its share-based compensation expense.
Business Segments
     The Corporation’s operations are strategically aligned into three major business segments: the Business Bank, the Retail Bank, and Wealth & Institutional Management. These business segments are differentiated based on the products and services provided. In addition to the three major business segments, the Finance Division is also reported as a segment. The Other category includes items not directly associated with these business segments or the Finance Division. Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements presents financial results of these business segments for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. For a description of the business activities of each business segment and the methodologies which form the basis for these results, refer to Note 13 to these consolidated financial statements and Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation’s 2005 Annual Report.

     The Business Bank’s net income of $284 million decreased $58 million, or 17 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net interest income (FTE) was $647 million, a decrease of $42 million from the comparable prior year period. The decrease in net interest income (FTE) was primarily due to a decline in loan spreads, a $1.5 billion increase in average low-rate FSD loan balances, and an $1.4 billion decrease in average FSD deposit balances. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.9 billion, or seven percent, increase in average loan balances (excluding FSD) and an increase in deposit spreads from June 30,

2005 to June 30, 2006. The provision for loan losses decreased $10 million, primarily due to an improvement in credit quality trends, partially offset by the impact of loan growth. Noninterest income of $133 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, decreased $8 million from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a $7 million decrease in letter of credit fees and a $5 million impairment charge on assets held-for-sale recorded in the first quarter of 2006, partially offset by increases in various other categories. Noninterest expenses of $364 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased $63 million from the same period in 2005, primarily due to a $23 million increase in the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments, a $19 million increase in allocated net corporate overhead expenses, and an $8 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense. The corporate overhead allocation rates used in the first six months of 2005 and full-year 2005 were seven and 10 percent, respectively. The corporate overhead allocation rate used in the first six months of 2006 was 13 percent. The three percentage point increase in rate in the first six months of 2006, when compared to the full year 2005, resulted mostly from income tax related items discussed in the section entitled “Provision for Income Taxes and Tax-related Interest” on page 36.
     The Retail Bank’s net income decreased $22 million, or 24 percent, to $73 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net interest income (FTE) of $316 million increased $18 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in deposit spreads. The provision for loan losses increased $18 million, primarily due to loan growth and an increase in loan loss reserves for certain types of home equity loans. Noninterest income of $104 million increased $1 million from the comparable prior year period. Noninterest expenses of $297 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased $39 million from the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an $18 million increase in allocated net corporate overhead expenses, an $8 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, and a $4 million increase in net occupancy and equipment expenses. Refer to the Business Bank discussion above for an explanation on the increase in allocated net corporate overhead expenses. The Corporation opened four banking centers in the second quarter 2006 and seven year-to-date, and is on target to open 24 banking centers in 2006, 23 of which are in the fastest growing markets.
     Wealth & Institutional Management’s net income decreased $14 million, or 33 percent, to $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net interest income (FTE) of $77 million increased $4 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to a $180 million, or five percent, increase in average loan balances. The provision for loan losses remained stable in the first six months of 2006, when compared to the same period in 2005. Noninterest income of $170 million increased $12 million from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a $14 million increase in net investment advisory revenue. Noninterest expenses of $193 million increased $26 million, primarily due to a $12 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and a $9 million increase in allocated net corporate overhead expenses. Refer to the Business Bank discussion above for an explanation on the increase in allocated net corporate overhead expenses. In addition, there was a transition adjustment of $8 million, net of taxes, related to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) recorded in the first quarter 2006 related to Munder share-based compensation plans.
     The net loss for the Finance Division was $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to a net loss of $48 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Contributing to the decrease in net loss was a $58 million increase in net interest income (FTE), primarily due to the rising rate environment in which interest income received from the lending-related business units rises more quickly than the longer-term value attributed to deposits generated by the business units.
     Net income in the Other category was $19 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to a net loss of $15 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in net income was primarily due to an $11 million decrease in the unallocated provision for loan losses, which is not assigned to other segments. The remaining variance is due to timing differences between when corporate overhead expenses are reflected as a consolidated expense and when the expense is allocated to other segments.
Geographic Market Segments
     The Corporation’s management accounting system also produces market segment results for the Corporation’s four primary geographic markets: Midwest & Other Markets, Western, Texas and Florida. Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements presents financial results of these market segments for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

     The Midwest and Other Markets’ net income decreased $35 million, or 14 percent, to $214 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net interest income (FTE) of $543 million increased $6 million, primarily due to a $277 million, or one percent, increase in average loan balances and an increase in deposit spreads, partially offset by a $426 million, or two percent, decline in average deposit balances and a decrease in loan spreads. The provision for loan losses declined $18 million, primarily due to an improvement in credit quality trends, partially offset by loan growth. Noninterest income of $301 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased $3 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to a $14 million increase in net investment advisory revenue, offset by a $6 million decrease in letter of credit fees and a $5 million impairment charge on assets held-for-sale recorded in the first quarter 2006. Noninterest expenses of $515 million increased $79 million, primarily due to a $26 million increase in allocated net corporate overhead expenses, a $23 million increase in the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments, primarily related to customers in the automotive industry, a $16 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, and a $7 million increase in outside processing fee expense. The corporate overhead allocation rates used in the first six months of 2005 and full-year 2005 were seven and 10 percent, respectively. The corporate overhead allocation rate used in the first six months of 2006 was 13 percent. The three percentage point increase in rate in the first six months of 2006, when compared to the full year 2005, resulted mostly from income tax related items. In addition, there was a transition adjustment of $8 million, net of taxes, related to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) recorded in the first quarter 2006 related to Munder share-based compensation plans.
     The Western market’s net income decreased $48 million, or 28 percent, to $124 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net interest income (FTE) of $348 million decreased $35 million from the comparable prior year period. The decrease in net interest income (FTE) was primarily due to a $1.5 billion increase in low-rate average FSD loan balances, a $1.4 billion decrease in average FSD deposit balances, and a decline in loan spreads (excluding FSD), partially offset by a $ 1.6 billion, or 14 percent, increase in average loan balances (excluding FSD). The provision for loan losses increased $16 million, primarily due to loan growth. Noninterest income of $62 million increased $2 million from the comparable period in the prior year. Noninterest expenses of $219 million increased $31 million, primarily due to a $13 million increase in allocated net corporate overhead expenses, a $6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, a $2 million increase in net occupancy expenses, and $2 million increase in customer services expense in the Financial Services Division. Refer to the Midwest & Other Markets discussion above for an explanation on the increase in allocated net corporate overhead expenses.
     The Texas market’s net income decreased $10 million, or 19 percent, to $41 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net interest income (FTE) of $126 million increased $7 million from the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in net interest income (FTE) was primarily due to a $745 million, or 15 percent, increase in average loan balances and an increase in deposit spreads, partially offset by a decrease in loan spreads. The provision for loan losses increased $7 million, primarily due to loan growth. Noninterest income remained relatively unchanged when compared to the same period in the prior year. Noninterest expenses of $104 million increased $16 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to a $7 million increase in allocated net corporate overhead expenses and a $4 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense. Refer to the Midwest & Other Markets discussion above for an explanation on the increase in allocated net corporate overhead expenses.

     The Florida market’s net income decreased $1 million, or 21 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net interest income (FTE) increased $2 million from the comparable period in the prior year. The provision for loan losses increased $3 million, primarily due to a decline in the credit quality of a specific customer. Noninterest expenses increased $2 million from the same period in 2005.
     The net income in the Finance & Other Business segment was $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to a net loss of $63 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net interest income (FTE) increased $58 million, primarily due to the rising rate environment in which interest income received from the lending-related business units rises more quickly than the longer-term value attributed to deposits generated by the business units. The unallocated provision for loan losses, which is not assigned to other segments, decreased $11 million. The remaining variance is due to timing differences between when corporate overhead expenses are reflected as a consolidated expense and when the expense is allocated to other segments.

Financial Condition
     Total assets were $57.1 billion at June 30, 2006, compared to $53.0 billion at year-end 2005 and $54.7 billion at June 30, 2005. Total period-end loans increased $3.2 billion, or seven percent, to $46.4 billion from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006. Total loans, on an average basis, increased $2.6 billion, or six percent, to $47.8 billion in second quarter 2006, compared to $45.2 billion in fourth quarter 2005. Within average loans, nearly all businesses showed growth, including the National Dealer Services (22 percent), Commercial Real Estate (10 percent), Small Business (5 percent), and Middle Market (5 percent) loan portfolios, from the fourth quarter 2005 to the second quarter 2006. Average loans grew in all primary geographic markets, including Texas (11 percent), Western (7 percent) and Midwest & Other Markets (2 percent) from the fourth quarter 2005 to the second quarter 2006. Period-end short-term investments, primarily federal funds sold, increased $1.2 billion from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006.
     Management currently expects average loan growth for the full-year 2006 to be in the high-single digit range (excluding FSD loans), compared to 2005 levels.
     Total liabilities increased $4.0 billion, or eight percent, from $47.9 billion at December 31, 2005, to $51.9 billion at June 30, 2006. Total deposits increased $1.7 billion, or four percent, to $44.1 billion at June 30, 2006, from $42.4 billion at year-end 2005, as a result of a $2.9 billion increase in institutional certificates of deposit, offset by a $1.7 billion decrease in money market and NOW deposits. Deposits in the Corporation’s Financial Services Division, some of which are not expected to be long-lived, decreased to $8.1 billion at June 30, 2006, from $8.8 billion at December 31, 2005. Average deposits in the Corporation’s Financial Services Division decreased $1.9 billion, to $6.6 billion in the second quarter 2006, from $8.5 billion in the fourth quarter 2005, as the result of seasonality and slower real estate activity in the Corporation’s Western market. Average noninterest-bearing deposits in the Corporation’s Financial Services Division decreased $1.1 billion, to $4.8 billion in the second quarter 2006, from $5.9 billion in the fourth quarter 2005. Medium- and long-term debt increased from $4.0 billion at December 31, 2005 to $6.1 billion at June 30, 2006, due to the issuance of $2.1 billion of floating-rate bank notes under an existing medium-term program in the second quarter 2006. The Corporation used the proceeds primarily to fund new loans.
     Management expects the following for full-year 2006, based upon current trends:
    Average FSD-related noninterest-bearing deposits of about $4.5 billion;
 
    Average FSD loans (primarily low-rate) of about $2.6 billion; and
 
    Customer services expense in FSD to be down compared to full-year 2005.
     To the extent that the level of noninterest-bearing deposits varies from this outlook, management expects that loan volumes will change commensurately.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Nonperforming Assets
     The allowance for credit losses is the combined allowance for loan losses and allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s assessment of probable losses inherent in the Corporation’s loan portfolio. The allowance provides for probable losses that have been identified with specific customer relationships and for probable losses believed to be inherent in the loan portfolio, but that have not been specifically identified. Internal risk ratings are assigned to each business loan at the time of approval and are subject to subsequent periodic reviews by the Corporation’s senior management. The Corporation performs a detailed quarterly credit quality review on both large business and certain large personal purpose consumer and residential mortgage loans that have deteriorated below certain levels of credit risk, and may allocate a specific portion of the allowance to such loans based upon this review. The Corporation defines business loans as those belonging to the commercial, real estate construction, commercial mortgage, lease financing and international loan portfolios. A portion of the allowance is allocated to the remaining business loans by applying projected loss ratios, based on numerous factors identified below, to the loans within each risk rating. In addition, a portion of the allowance is allocated to these remaining loans based on industry specific risks inherent in certain portfolios, including portfolio exposures to automotive, contractor, technology-related, entertainment, air transportation industries, and Small Business Administration loans. The portion of the allowance allocated to all other consumer and residential mortgage loans is determined by applying projected loss ratios to various segments of the loan portfolio. Projected loss ratios incorporate factors such as recent charge-off experience, current economic conditions and trends and trends with respect to past due and nonaccrual amounts, and are supported by underlying analysis, including information on migration and loss given default studies from each of the three major domestic geographic markets, as well as mapping to bond tables. The allocated portion of the allowance was $441 million at June 30, 2006, a decrease of $19 million from December 31, 2005. The decrease resulted primarily from the impact of favorable migration data on projected loss factors, a decrease in loan specific reserves and a decrease in the reserve associated with industry specific and international risks.
     Actual loss ratios experienced in the future may vary from those projected. The uncertainty occurs because factors may exist which affect the determination of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and are not necessarily captured by the application of projected loss ratios or identified industry specific and international risks. An unallocated portion of the allowance is maintained to capture these probable losses. The unallocated allowance reflects management’s view that the allowance should recognize the margin for error inherent in the process of estimating expected loan losses. Factors that were considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the Corporation’s unallocated allowance include the inherent imprecision in the risk rating system and the risk associated with new customer relationships. The unallocated allowance associated with the margin for inherent imprecision covers probable loan losses as a result of an inaccuracy in assigning risk ratings or stale ratings which may not have been updated for recent negative trends in particular credits. The unallocated allowance due to new business migration risk is based on an evaluation of the risk of rating downgrades associated with loans that do not have a full year of payment history. The unallocated allowance was $40 million at June 30, 2006, a decrease of $16 million from December 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to reduced new business migration risk reserves based on improved data.
     The total allowance for loan losses, including the unallocated amount, is available to absorb losses from any segment within the portfolio. Unanticipated economic events, including political, economic and regulatory instability in countries where the Corporation has loans, could cause changes in the credit characteristics of the portfolio and result in an unanticipated increase in the allocated allowance. Inclusion of other industry specific and international portfolio exposures in the allocated allowance, as well as significant increases in the current portfolio exposures, could also increase the amount of the allocated allowance. Any of these events, or some combination thereof, may result in the need for additional provision for loan losses in order to maintain an adequate allowance.
     At June 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $481 million, a decrease of $35 million from $516 million at December 31, 2005. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total period-end loans decreased to 1.04 percent at June 30, 2006, from 1.19 percent at December 31, 2005. The Corporation also maintains an allowance to cover probable credit losses inherent in lending-related commitments, including unfunded commitments, letters of credit and financial guarantees, which is included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. Lending-related commitments for which it is probable that the commitment will be drawn (or sold) are reserved with the same projected loss rates as loans, or with specific reserves. In general, the probability of draw is considered certain once the credit becomes a watch list credit (generally consistent with regulatory defined special mention, substandard and doubtful credits). Non-watch list credits have a lower probability of draw, to which standard loan loss rates are applied. The allowance for credit losses on lending-related

commitments was $41 million at June 30, 2006, an increase of $8 million from $33 million at December 31, 2005, resulting primarily from an increase in specific reserves related to unused commitments to extend credit to customers in the automotive industry.
     Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2006 were $174 million, compared to $162 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $12 million, or seven percent. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming assets decreased to 278 percent at June 30, 2006, from 319 percent at December 31, 2005.

     Shared National Credit Program (SNC) loans comprised approximately one percent and 10 percent of total nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. SNC loans are facilities greater than $20 million shared by three or more federally supervised financial institutions, which are reviewed by regulatory authorities at the agent bank level. SNC loans comprised approximately 17 percent and 15 percent of total loans at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. In addition, no SNC loans were included in the second quarter 2006 total net loan charge-offs.
     Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter 2006 were $18 million, or 0.15 percent of average total loans, compared with $29 million, or 0.27 percent, for the second quarter 2005. The carrying value of nonaccrual loans as a percentage of contractual value increased to 62 percent at June 30, 2006, compared to 54 percent at December 31, 2005.
     Management currently expects full-year 2006 credit-related net charge-offs (including both net loan charge-offs and charge-offs on lending-related commitments) as a percentage of average loans to be approximately 15 to 20 basis points.

     At June 30, 2006, the Corporation and its U.S. banking subsidiaries exceeded the ratios required for an institution to be considered “well capitalized” (tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and leverage ratios greater than 6 percent, 10 percent and 5 percent, respectively).
     The Corporation expects to continue to be an active capital manager in 2006.
Critical Accounting Policies
     The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the application of accounting policies, the most significant of which are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation’s 2005 Annual Report, as updated in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report. These policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions, which may prove inaccurate or subject to variations. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions or estimates could have a material impact on the Corporation’s future financial condition and results of operations. The most critical of these significant accounting policies are the policies for allowance for credit losses, pension plan accounting and goodwill. These policies are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors and are discussed more fully on pages 57-60 of the Corporation’s 2005 Annual Report. As of the date of this report, the Corporation does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature or categories of its critical accounting policies or its estimates and assumptions from those discussed in its 2005 Annual Report.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
     Net interest income is the predominant source of revenue for the Corporation. Interest rate risk arises primarily through the Corporation’s core business activities of extending loans and accepting deposits. The Corporation actively manages its exposure to interest rate risk. The Corporation frequently evaluates net interest income under various balance sheet and interest rate scenarios, using simulation analysis as its principal risk management technique. The results of these analyses provide the information needed to assess the balance sheet structure. Changes in economic activity, different from those management included in its simulation analyses, whether domestically or internationally, could translate into a materially different interest rate environment than currently expected. Management evaluates “base” net interest income under what is believed to be the most likely balance sheet structure and interest rate environment. The most likely interest rate environment is derived from management’s forecast for the next 12 months. This “base” net interest income is then evaluated against non-parallel interest rate scenarios that increase and decrease 200 basis points (but not lower than zero percent) from the most likely rate environment. Since movement is from the most likely rate environment, actual movement from the current rates may be more or less than 200 basis points. For this analysis, the rise or decline in interest rates occurs equally over four months. In addition, adjustments to asset prepayment levels, yield curves and overall balance sheet mix and growth assumptions are made to be consistent with each interest rate environment. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors. However, the model can indicate the likely direction of change. Derivative instruments entered into for risk management purposes are included in these analyses. The table below as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 displays the estimated impact on net interest income during the next 12 months as it relates to the most likely scenario results from the 200 basis point non-parallel shock as described above.

    (51 )     (2 )     (51 )     (2 )  
   
     Corporate policy limits adverse change to no more than five percent of management’s most likely net interest income forecast. In addition to the simulation analysis, an economic value of equity analysis and a traditional interest sensitivity gap analysis are performed as alternative measures of interest rate risk exposure. At June 30, 2006, all three measures of interest rate risk were within established corporate policy guidelines.
     At June 30, 2006, the Corporation had an $89 million portfolio of indirect (through funds) private equity and venture capital investments, and had commitments of $41 million to fund additional investments in future periods. The value of these investments is at risk to changes in equity markets, general economic conditions and a variety of other factors. The majority of these investments are not readily marketable, and are reported in other assets. The investments are individually reviewed for impairment on a quarterly basis, by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value. The Corporation bases estimates of fair value for the majority of its indirect private equity and venture capital investments on the percentage ownership in the fair value of the entire fund, as reported by the fund management. In general, the Corporation does not have the benefit of the same information regarding the fund’s underlying investments as does fund management. Therefore, after indications that fund management adheres to accepted, sound and recognized valuation techniques, the Corporation utilizes the fair values assigned to the underlying portfolio investments by fund management. For those funds where fair value is not reported by fund management, the Corporation derives the fair value of the fund by estimating the fair value of each underlying investment in the fund. In addition to using qualitative information about each underlying investment, as provided by fund management, the Corporation gives consideration to information pertinent to the specific nature of the debt or equity investment, such as relevant market conditions, offering prices, operating results, financial conditions, exit strategy and other qualitative information, as available. The uncertainty in the economy and equity markets may affect the values of the fund investments. Approximately $13 million of the underlying equity and debt (primarily equity) in these funds are to companies in the automotive industry. With the exception of a single fund investment, the automotive-related positions do not represent a majority of any one fund’s investments, and therefore, the exposure related to these positions is mitigated by the performance of other investment interests within the fund’s portfolio of companies.

     The Corporation holds a portfolio of approximately 780 warrants for primarily non-marketable equity securities. These warrants are primarily from high technology, non-public companies obtained as part of the loan origination process. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation’s 2005 Annual Report, warrants that have a net exercise provision embedded in the warrant agreement are required to be recorded at fair value. Fair value for these warrants (approximately 730 warrants at June 30, 2006) was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model, which has four inputs: risk-free rate, term, volatility, and stock price. Key assumptions used in the valuation were as follows. The risk-free rate was estimated using the U.S. treasury rate, as of the valuation date, corresponding with the expected term of the warrant. The Corporation used an expected term of one half of the remaining contractual term of each warrant, which averages approximately seven years. Volatility was estimated using an index of comparable publicly traded companies, based on the Standard Industrial Classification codes. For a substantial majority of the subject companies, an index method was utilized to estimate the current value of the underlying company. Under the index method, the subject companies’ values were “rolled-forward” from the inception date through the valuation date based on the change in value of an underlying index of guideline public companies. For the remaining companies, where sufficient financial data exists, a market approach method was utilized. The value of all warrants that are required to be carried at fair value ($33 million at June 30, 2006) is at risk to changes in equity markets, general economic conditions and other factors.
     Certain components of the Corporation’s noninterest income, primarily fiduciary income and investment advisory revenue, are at risk to fluctuations in the market values of underlying assets, particularly equity securities. Other components of noninterest income, primarily brokerage fees, are at risk to changes in the level of market activity.
     For further discussion of market risk, see Note 10 to these consolidated financial statements and pages 48-55 in the Corporation’s 2005 Annual Report.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures . Management has evaluated, with the participation of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on the evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
 
(b)   Changes in Internal Controls . During the period to which this report relates, there have not been any changes in the Corporation’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, such controls.

EXHIBIT 10.3
COMERICA INCORPORATED
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) between Comerica Incorporated (the “Company”) and                               (the “Award Recipient”) is effective as of                               , 20               (the “Effective Date”). Any undefined terms appearing herein as defined terms shall have the same meaning as they do in the Comerica Incorporated 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Company will provide a copy of the Plan to the Award Recipient upon request.
WITNESSETH:
1.  Award of Stock . Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby awards the Award Recipient, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan (incorporated herein by reference), and subject further to the terms and conditions in this Agreement,                               Shares of $5.00 par value common stock of the Company (the “Stock Award”).
2.  Vesting of Stock Award . The unvested portion of the Stock Award is subject to forfeiture. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, including without limitation, fulfillment of the employment requirements in paragraph 4 below, the Stock Award will vest and become free of restrictions in accordance with the following schedule (except in the case of the Award Recipient’s earlier death or Disability or an earlier Change of Control of the Company): 50% of the Shares covered by this Stock Award shall vest and become free of restrictions on the third anniversary of the Effective Date of this Stock Award and 25% of the Shares covered by this Stock Award shall vest and become free of restrictions on each of the fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Effective Date. Any fraction of a Share that becomes exercisable on any date will be rounded down to the next lowest whole number, with any such fraction added to the portion of the Stock Award that vests and becomes free of restrictions on the next vesting date. As soon as administratively feasible after the vesting of any portion of the Stock Award and the satisfaction of any applicable taxes pursuant to paragraph 12 of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to the Award Recipient (or to the designated Beneficiary of the Award Recipient if the Award Recipient is not then living) evidence of his or her ownership (by book entry or certificate), of the Shares subject to the Stock Award that have vested and for which any applicable taxes have been paid.
3.  Cancellation of Stock Award . The Committee has the right to cancel for no consideration all or any portion of the Stock Award in accordance with Section 4 of the Plan if the Committee determines in good faith that the Award Recipient has done any of the following: (i) committed a felony; (ii) committed fraud; (iii) embezzled; (iv) disclosed confidential information or trade secrets; (v) was terminated for Cause; (vi) engaged in any activity in competition with the business of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company; or (vii) engaged in conduct that adversely affected the Company. The Delegate shall have the power and authority to suspend the vesting of or the right to receive the Shares in respect of all or any portion of the Stock Award if the Delegate makes in good faith the determination described in the preceding sentence. Any such suspension of a Stock Award shall remain in effect until the suspension shall be presented to and acted on by the Committee at its next meeting. This paragraph 3 shall have no application for the two-year period following a Change of Control of the Company.
4.  Employment Requirements . Except as provided in this Agreement, in order to vest in and not forfeit the Stock Award (or portion thereof, as the case may be), the Award Recipient must remain employed by the Company or one of its Affiliates until the Stock Award (or portion thereof) has vested. If there is a Termination of Employment for any reason (other than due to death or Disability) before a portion of the Stock Award has fully vested, the Award Recipient will forfeit any portion of the Stock Award that has not vested as of the date of the Termination of Employment unless the Committee determines otherwise. If there is a Termination of Employment due to the death or Disability of the Award Recipient prior to this Stock Award fully vesting, the unvested portion of the Stock Award will vest as of the date of the Award Recipient’s Termination of Employment due to death or Disability.
5.  Effect of a Change of Control . This Stock Award will vest and become free of restrictions on the date a Change of Control of the Company occurs.
6.  Nontransferability . No portion of the Shares underlying this Stock Award that have not yet vested, nor any of the rights pertaining thereto or under this Agreement, shall be transferable other than by will or the laws of intestacy until it has vested; provided, however , that the Award Recipient may, in the manner established by the Committee,

 


 

designate a Beneficiary to receive any property distributable with respect to the Stock Award upon the death of the Award Recipient. The unvested Shares underlying the Stock Award and any rights pertaining thereto or under this Agreement may not be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered. Any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance of the Stock Award contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or the Plan shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.
7.  Voting and Dividends . The Award Recipient shall have the right to vote the Shares underlying any portion of the Stock Award that has not vested and to receive any cash dividends or cash distributions that may be paid with respect thereto. Subject to Section 11(D) of the Plan, in the event of a stock dividend, stock distribution, stock split, division of shares or other corporate structure change which results in the issuance of additional Shares with respect to any unvested Share of the Stock Award, such additional Shares will be subject to the same restrictions and vesting requirements as are applicable to such unvested Share of the Stock Award.
8.  No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on the Award Recipient any right to continue in the employment of the Company or its Affiliates for any given period or on any specified terms nor in any way affect the Company’s or its Affiliates’ right to terminate the Award Recipient’s employment without prior notice at any time for any reason or for no reason.
9.  Compliance with Laws and Regulations . The Stock Award and the obligation of the Company to deliver the Shares subject to the Stock Award are subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, to receipt of any approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required, and to any determinations the Company may make regarding the application of all such laws, rules and regulations.
10.  Binding Nature of Plan . The Award Recipient agrees to be bound by all terms and provisions of the Plan and related administrative rules and procedures, including terms and provisions and administrative rules and procedures adopted and/or modified after the granting of the Stock Award. In the event any provisions of this Agreement are inconsistent with those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

Either party may designate in writing some other address or facsimile number for notice under this Agreement.
12.  Withholding . No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Award Recipient for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Shares subject to this Stock Award, the Award Recipient shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, all Federal, state and local income and employment taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld with respect to such amount. The Award Recipient authorizes the Company to withhold from his or her compensation to satisfy any income and employment tax withholding obligations in connection with the Stock Award. The Award Recipient agrees that the Company may delay removal of the restrictive legend until proper payment of such taxes has been made by the Award Recipient. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, the Award Recipient may satisfy such obligations under this paragraph 12 by any method authorized under Section 9 of the Plan.
13.  Voluntary Participation. Participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Stock Award is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Award Recipient’s employment contract, if any. As such, the Stock Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.

Exhibit 10.4
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (SVP)
     AGREEMENT, dated as of the ___ day of                                           , 20        , by and between COMERICA INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and                                                                (the “ Executive ”).
     The Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company. The Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change of Control and to encourage the Executive’s full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change of Control which ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive will be satisfied and which are competitive with those of other corporations. Therefore, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company to enter into this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
     1.  Certain Definitions . (a) The “ Effective Date ” shall mean the first date during the Agreement Period (as defined in Section 1(b)) on which a Change of Control(as defined in Section 2) occurs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change of Control occurs and if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the Change of Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement the “Effective Date” shall mean the date immediately prior to the date of such termination of employment. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of employment must satisfy the definition of a separation from service (as determined under Section 409A(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”)), with the Company or its Successor (if after a Change in Control).
     (b) The “ Agreement Period ” shall mean the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the third anniversary of the date hereof; provided , however , that commencing on the date one year after the date hereof, and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual anniversary thereof shall be hereinafter referred to as the “ Renewal Date ”), unless previously terminated, the Agreement Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate three years from such Renewal Date, unless at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date the Company shall give notice to the Executive that the Agreement Period shall not be so extended.

1


 

     2.  Change of Control . For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean:
     (a) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”)) (a “ Person ”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “ Outstanding Company Common Stock ”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “ Outstanding Company Voting Securities ”); provided , however , that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company or (iv) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (c) of this Section 2; or
     (b) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the “ Incumbent Board ”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided , however , that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or
     (c) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “ Business Combination ”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation

2


 

resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or
     (d) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
     3.  Employment Period .

     4.  Terms of Employment . (a) Position and Duties . (i) During the Employment Period, (A) the Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all material respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date and (B) the Executive’s services shall be performed at the location where the Executive was employed immediately preceding the Effective Date or any office or location less than 60 miles from such location.
(ii) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the Executive hereunder, to use the Executive’s reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the Employment Period it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities as an employee of the Company in accordance with this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any such activities have been conducted by the Executive prior to the Effective Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the Effective Date shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the performance of the Executive’s responsibilities to the Company.
     (b)  Compensation . (i) Base Salary . During the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive an annual base salary (“ Annual Base Salary ”), which shall be paid at a monthly rate, at least equal to twelve times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable, including any base salary which has been earned but deferred, to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies in respect of the twelve-month period

Any increase in Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase and the term Annual Base Salary as utilized in this Agreement shall refer to Annual Base Salary as so increased. As used in this Agreement, the term “affiliated companies” shall include any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company.
     (ii)  Annual Bonus . In addition to Annual Base Salary, the Executive shall be awarded, for each fiscal year ending during the Employment Period, an annual bonus (the “ Annual Bonus ”) in cash at least equal to the Executive’s highest bonus under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan, Long-Term Incentive Plan and/or business unit incentive plan (or any predecessor or successor plan to any thereof) as applicable, for the last three full fiscal years prior to the Effective Date (annualized in the event that the Executive was not employed by the Company for the whole of such fiscal year and not otherwise paid a full year’s bonus for such year) (the “ Recent Annual Bonus ”). Each such Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than two and a half months after the end of the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus pursuant to the Company’s deferred compensation plans as may be in effect from time to time.
     (iii)  Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans . During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive opportunities (measured with respect to both regular and special incentive opportunities, to the extent, if any, that such distinction is applicable), savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by the Company and its affiliated companies for the Executive under such plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.

4


 

preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.
     (v)  Expenses . During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in accordance with the most favorable policies, practices and procedures of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.
     (vi)  Fringe Benefits . During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to fringe benefits, including, without limitation, tax and financial planning services, payment of club dues, and, if applicable, use of an automobile and payment of related expenses, in accordance with the most favorable plans, practices, programs and policies of the Company and its affiliated companies in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.
     (vii)  Office and Support Staff . During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to an office or offices of a size and with furnishings and other appointments, and to exclusive personal secretarial and other assistance, at least equal to the most favorable of the foregoing provided to the Executive by the Company and its affiliated companies at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as provided generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.
     (viii)  Vacation . During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the most favorable plans, policies, programs and practices of the Company and its affiliated companies as in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies.
     5.  Termination of Employment . (a) Death or Disability . The Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon the Executive’s death during the Employment Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with Section 12(d) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In such event, the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the “ Disability Effective Date ”), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executive’s duties. For purposes of this

5


 

Agreement, “ Disability ” shall mean the absence of the Executive from the Executive’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative.
     (b)  Cause . The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “ Cause ” shall mean:
(i) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform substantially the Executive’s duties with the Company or one of its affiliated companies (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or Chief Executive Officer believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive’s duties, or
(ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company.
For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Executive, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon (A) authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board, or if the Company is not the ultimate parent corporation of the affiliated companies and is not publicly-traded, the board of directors of the ultimate parent of the Company (the “ Applicable Board ”), (B) the instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or a senior officer of the Company, or (C) the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Applicable Board at a meeting of the Applicable Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Applicable Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Applicable Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
     (c)  Good Reason . The Executive’s employment may be terminated by the Executive for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “ Good Reason ” shall mean:
(i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section

6


 

4(a) of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;
(ii) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Section 4(b) of this Agreement, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive;
(iii) the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at any office or location other than as provided in Section 4(a)(i)(B) hereof or the Company’s requiring the Executive to travel on Company business to a substantially greater extent than required immediately prior to the Effective Date;
(iv) any purported termination by the Company of the Executive’s employment otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement; or
(v) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 11(c) of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Section 5(c), any good faith determination of “Good Reason” made by the Executive shall be conclusive. The Executive’s mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above in clauses (i) through (v) shall not affect the Executive’s ability to terminate employment for Good Reason.
     (d)  Notice of Termination . Any termination by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 12(d) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “ Notice of Termination ” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than thirty days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder.
     (e)  Date of Termination . “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the

7


 

Company other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the Company notifies the Executive of such termination and (iii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.
     6.  Obligations of the Company upon Termination . (a) Good Reason; Other Than for Cause, Death or Disability . If, during the Employment Period, the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment other than for Cause or Disability or the Executive shall terminate employment for Good Reason:
(i) the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash the aggregate of the following amounts:
     A. the sum of (1) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (2) the product of (x) the higher of (I) the Recent Annual Bonus and (II) the Annual Bonus paid or payable, including any bonus or portion thereof which has been earned but deferred (and annualized for any fiscal year consisting of less than twelve (12) full months or during which the Executive was employed for less than twelve (12) full months and not otherwise paid a full year’s bonus for such year), for the most recently completed fiscal year during the Employment Period, if any (such higher amount being referred to as the “ Highest Annual Bonus ”) and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination, and the denominator of which is 365 and (3) any accrued vacation pay, in each case to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in clauses (1), (2), and (3) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “ Accrued Obligations ”); and
     B. the amount equal to the product of (1) two and (2) the sum of (x) the Executive’s Annual Base Salary and (y) the Highest Annual Bonus; and
     C. an amount equal to the excess of (a) the actuarial equivalent of the benefit under the Company’s qualified defined benefit retirement plan (the “ Retirement Plan ”) (utilizing actuarial assumptions no less favorable to the Executive than those in effect under the Company’s Retirement Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date), and any excess or supplemental retirement plan in which the Executive participates (together, the “ SERP ”) which the Executive would receive if the Executive’s employment continued for two years after the Date of Termination assuming for this purpose that (x) all accrued benefits are fully vested, (y) the Executive is two years older and (z) the Executive is credited with two more years of service, and, assuming that the Executive’s compensation in each of the two years is that required by Section 4(b)(i) and Section 4(b)(ii) payable in equal monthly installments for such two-year period, over (b) the actuarial equivalent of the Executive’s actual benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the Retirement Plan and the SERP as of the Date of Termination.

8


 

Payments under this Section 6(a)(i) shall be made within 30 days after the Date of Termination; provided , that to the extent required in order to avoid the imposition of taxes and penalties on the Executive under Section 409A of the Code, cash amounts that would otherwise be payable under this Section 6(a)(i) during the six-month period immediately following the Date of Termination shall instead be paid, with interest on any delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code (“ Interest ”), on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
(ii) for two years after the Executive’s Date of Termination, or such longer period as may be provided by the terms of the appropriate plan, program, practice, or policy (the “ Benefit Continuation Period ”), the Company shall continue benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family at least equal to, and at the same cost to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as those which would have been provided to them in accordance with the plans, programs, practices and policies described in Section 4(b)(iv) of this Agreement (excepting any plan or insurance coverage that contains an “active at work” requirement) if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their families, provided , however , that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or other welfare benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of benefits) of the Executive for retiree benefits pursuant to such plans, practices, programs and policies, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until two years after the Date of Termination and to have retired on the last day of such period. The Executive’s entitlement to COBRA continuation coverage under Section 4980B of the Code “ COBRA Coverage ”) shall not be offset by the provision of benefits under this Section 6(a)(ii) and the period of COBRA Coverage shall commence at the end of the Benefit Continuation Period;
(iii) the Company shall, at its sole expense as incurred, provide the Executive with outplacement services the scope and provider of which shall be selected by the Executive in his sole discretion; provided , that such outplacement benefits shall end not later than the last day of the second calendar year that begins after the Date of Termination; and
(iv) to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company and its affiliated

9


 

companies (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the “ Other Benefits ”).
     (b)  Death . If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s death during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 6(b) shall include, without limitation, and the Executive’s estate and/or beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Company and affiliated companies to the estates and beneficiaries of peer executives of the Company and such affiliated companies under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to other peer executives and their beneficiaries at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive’s estate and/or the Executive’s beneficiaries, as in effect on the date of the Executive’s death with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their beneficiaries.
     (c)  Disability . If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of the Executive’s Disability during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for payment of Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination, provided , that to the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, amounts and benefits to be paid or provided under this Section 6(c) shall be paid, with Interest, or provided to the Executive on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. With respect to the provision of Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 6(c) shall include, and the Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Company and its affiliated companies to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive and/or the Executive’s family, as in effect at any time thereafter generally with respect to other peer executives of the Company and its affiliated companies and their families.
     (d)  Cause, Etc.; Other than for Good Reason . If the Executive’s employment shall be terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive other than the obligation to pay to the Executive (x) his Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination, and (y) Other Benefits, in each case to the extent theretofore unpaid. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period, excluding a termination for Good

10


 

Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive, other than for Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits. In such case, all Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination; provided , that to the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code, amounts and benefits to be paid or provided under this sentence of Section 6(d) shall be paid, with Interest, or provided to the Executive on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
     7.  Non-exclusivity of Rights . Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 12(h), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies. Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any contract or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliated companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Executive’s resignation under this Agreement with or without Good Reason shall in no way affect the Executive’s ability to terminate employment by reason of the Executive’s “retirement” under any compensation and benefits plans, programs or arrangements of the affiliated companies, including without limitation any retirement or pension plans or arrangements or to be eligible to receive benefits under any compensation or benefit plans, programs or arrangements of the affiliated companies, including without limitation any retirement or pension plan or arrangement of the affiliated companies or substitute plans adopted by the Company or its successors, and any termination which otherwise qualifies as Good Reason shall be treated as such even if it is also a “retirement” for purposes of any such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6(a) of this Agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance pay or benefits under any severance plan, program or policy of the Company and the affiliated companies, unless otherwise specifically provided therein in a specific reference to this Agreement.
     8.  Full Settlement . The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agree-

11


 

ment or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus, in each case, Interest.
     9.  Certain Additional Payments by the Company .
     (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 9) (a “ Payment ”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ Excise Tax ”), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “ Gross-Up Payment ”) in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, but excluding any income taxes and penalties imposed pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(a), if it shall be determined that the Executive is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that the Payments do not exceed 110% of the greatest amount (the “ Reduced Amount ”) that could be paid to the Executive such that the receipt of Payments would not give rise to any Excise Tax, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the Executive and the Payments, in the aggregate, shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount. The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing the payments under Section 6(a)(i), unless an alternative method of reduction is elected by the Executive, and in any event shall be made in such a manner as to maximize the economic present value of all Payments actually made to the Executive, as determined by the Accounting Firm using the discount rate required by Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. For purposes of reducing the Payments to the Reduced Amount, only amounts payable under this Agreement (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. If the reduction of the amount payable under this Agreement would not result in a reduction of the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Reduced Amount, no amounts payable under the Agreement shall be reduced pursuant to this Section 9(a). The Company’s obligation to make Gross-Up Payments under this Section 9 shall not be conditioned upon the Executive’s termination of employment.
     (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 9(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 9, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by such nationally recognized certified public accounting firm (other than the firm then serving as the independent auditor of the Company or the firm then serving as the independent auditor of the acquiring Person in a Change of Control) as may be designated by the Executive (the “ Accounting Firm ”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the

12


 

Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, the Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 9, shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (“ Underpayment ”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 9(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive.
     (c) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:
(i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,
(ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,
(iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and
(iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim;
provided , however , that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise

13


 

Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided , however , that if the Company pays such claim and directs the Executive to sue for a refund, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such payment or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such payment; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.
     (d) If, after the receipt by the Executive of a Gross-Up Payment or a payment by the Company pursuant to Section 9(c), the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 9(c)) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after payment of an amount on the Executive’s behalf by the Company pursuant to Section 9(c), a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then the amount of such payment shall offset, to the extent thereof, by the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.
     (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, the Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or any other applicable taxing authority, for the benefit of the Executive, all or any portion of any Gross-Up Payment, and the Executive hereby consents to such withholding.
     10.  Confidential Information . The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or any of its affiliated companies, and their respective businesses, which shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executive’s employment by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and which shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or

14


 

divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company and those designated by it. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 10 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.
     11.  Successors . (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives.
     (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 11(c), without the prior written consent of the Executive, this Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company.
     (c) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “ Company ” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.
     12.  Miscellaneous . (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.
     (b) The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.
     (c) This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any compensation or benefits provided by this Agreement may result in the application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall, in consultation with the Executive, modify the Agreement in the least restrictive manner necessary in order to exclude such compensation from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of such Section 409A of the Code or in order to comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, other applicable provision(s) of the Code and/or any rules, regulations or other regulatory guidance issued under such statutory provisions and without any diminution in the value of the payments and benefits to the Executive.

Exhibit 10.6
COMERICA INCORPORATED
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the ___day of ___, 20___, by and between Comerica Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Corporation”), and ___(hereinafter referred to as the “Director”). Any undefined terms appearing herein as defined terms shall have the same meaning as they do in the Comerica Incorporated Amended and Restated Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).
WITNESSETH THAT:
      WHEREAS, the Corporation desires to grant to the Director an award of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) under the Plan and the terms hereinafter set forth:
      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, it is covenanted and agreed as follows:
      1.  Award . Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Corporation awards ___ RSUs (the “Award”) to the Director on ___, 20___(the “Date of Award”). Each RSU shall represent an unfunded, unsecured right for the Director to receive one (1) share of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $5.00 per share (the “Common Stock”).
      2.  Ownership Rights . The Director has no voting or other ownership rights in the Corporation arising from the Award of RSUs under this Agreement.
      3.  Dividends . The Director shall be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the dividends the Director would have received if the Director had been the owner of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs credited to the Director on such dividend payment date (the “Dividend Equivalent”). Any Dividend Equivalent deriving from a cash dividend shall be converted into additional RSUs based on the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the dividend payment date. Any Dividend Equivalent deriving from a dividend of shares of Common Stock shall be converted into additional RSUs on a one-for-one basis. The Director shall continue to be credited with Dividend Equivalents until the Settlement Date (defined below). The Dividend Equivalents so credited shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Award, and they shall vest (or, if applicable, be forfeited) and be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the corresponding Award, as if they had been granted at the same time as such Award.
      4.  Vesting . The Award shall vest one year after the Date of Award, with such vesting contingent upon the Director’s continued service as a director of the Corporation for a period of one year after the Date of Award. Except as provided in Section 6, if a Director’s service as a director of the Corporation terminates for any reason prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Date of Award, the Award and all corresponding Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited, and no shares of Common Stock or other payment shall be made to the Director in respect of the Award or any corresponding Dividend Equivalents.
      5.  Settlement . Once vested, the Award will be settled as follows:
      (a) In General . Subject to Section 6 hereof, vested Awards will be settled in Common Stock. Settlement of the vested Award shall occur as of the first business day following the first anniversary of the date that the Director separates from service from the Corporation (provided that such separation from service qualifies as separation from service within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A); provided that, in the case of the Director’s separation of service due to death, Disability or upon a Change of Control, settlement of the Award shall occur as of such earlier date as set forth in Section 6 hereof (any such date, the “Settlement Date”). On the Settlement Date, the Corporation shall issue or cause there to be transferred to the Director (or in the case of the Director’s death, to the Director’s designated beneficiary or estate, as applicable or, in the case of the Director’s Disability, to the

 


 

Director’s guardian or legal representative, if applicable and if permissible under applicable law) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of RSUs granted to the Director under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the RSUs attributable to Dividend Equivalents) (the “Settlement Shares”).
     (b)  Termination of Rights . Upon the issuance or transfer of Settlement Shares in settlement of the Award (including, without limitation, the RSUs attributable to Dividend Equivalents), the Award shall be considered to be settled in full and the Director (or his or her designated beneficiary or estate, in the case of death) shall have no further rights with respect to the Award.
     (c)  Certificates or Book Entry . As of the Settlement Date, the Corporation shall, at the discretion of the Committee or its designee, either issue one or more certificates in the Director’s name for such Settlement Shares or evidence book-entry registration of the Settlement Shares in the Director’s name (or, in the case of death, to the Director’s designated beneficiary, if any).
     (d)  Conditions to Delivery . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Corporation shall not be required to evidence book-entry registration or issue or deliver any certificate or certificates representing Settlement Shares prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:
          (1) Listing or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of the Settlement Shares on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., or such other securities exchange as may at the time be the principal market for the Common Stock;
          (2) Any registration or other qualification of the Settlement Shares under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other qualification which the Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable; and
          (3) Obtaining any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its sole and absolute discretion after receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable.
      (e)  Legends . The Settlement Shares shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem reasonably advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Settlement Shares are listed, any applicable federal or state laws or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on or otherwise apply to any certificates or book-entry position representing Settlement Shares to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
      6.  Change of Control; Death, Disability or Retirement . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:
     (a) Upon a Change of Control, the Award (including, without limitation, the RSUs attributable to Dividend Equivalents) shall immediately and fully vest and become nonforfeitable (to the extent not previously vested in accordance with this Agreement), any deferral or other restriction shall lapse, and such Award shall be settled in cash (rather than Settlement Shares) as promptly as is practicable, but in no event later than 30 days following the date of such Change of Control.
     (b) In the event that the Director’s service terminates by reason of the Director’s death, Disability or Retirement while serving as a director with the Corporation, the Award (including, without limitation, the RSUs attributable to Dividend Equivalents) shall immediately and fully vest and become nonforfeitable, any deferral or other restriction shall lapse, and the Award shall be settled as set

forth in Section 5; provided, however , that in the case of the Director’s separation from service due to death or Disability, the Corporation shall issue or cause there to be transferred to the Director (or, in the case of death, to the Director’s designated beneficiary or, if no designated beneficiary is living on the date of the Director’s death, the Director’s estate) the Settlement Shares as promptly as is practicable following the date of the Director’s cessation of service.
     (c) The Committee shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine whether the termination of the Director’s membership on the board of directors of the Corporation is by reason of Disability or Retirement, as defined by the Plan and in the case of Disability, in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.
      7.  Transferability . Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the RSUs subject to this Award (including, without limitation, Dividend Equivalents) may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Director otherwise than by will or by the laws of intestacy, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Corporation or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; provided, however, that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.
      8.  Adjustment in Award . In the event the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock changes as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization, or any distribution made to holders of Common Stock other than cash dividends, the number or kind of shares subject to this Award shall be automatically adjusted, and the Committee shall be authorized to make such other equitable adjustments of the Award or shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant thereto so that the value of the interest of the Director shall not be decreased by reason of the occurrence of such event. Any such adjustment shall be deemed conclusive and binding on the Corporation, the Director, his or her beneficiaries and all other interested parties.
      9.  Administration; Amendment. This Award has been made pursuant to a determination by the Committee and/or the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and the Committee shall have plenary authority to interpret, in its sole and absolute discretion, any provision of this Agreement and to make any determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Agreement. All such interpretations and determinations shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Corporation, the Director, his or her beneficiaries and all other interested parties. Subject to the terms of the Plan, this Agreement may be amended, in whole or in part, at any time by the Committee; provided, however , that no amendment to this Agreement may adversely affect the Director’s rights under this Agreement without the Director’s consent except such an amendment made to cause the Award to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.
      10.  Binding Nature of Plan . The Award is subject to the Plan. The Director agrees to be bound by all terms and provisions of the Plan and related administrative rules and procedures, including, without limitation, terms and provisions and administrative rules and procedures adopted and/or modified after the granting of the Award. In the event any provisions hereof are inconsistent with those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control, except to the extent expressly modified herein pursuant to authority granted under the Plan.
      11.  Applicable Law . The validity, construction and effect of this Agreement and any rules and regulations relating to the Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, unless preempted by federal law, and also in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and any interpretive authorities promulgated thereunder.
