Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1.) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements reflect, in the opinion of
management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position of Summit
Bancorp and subsidiaries (Summit Bancorp), the consolidated
results of operations, changes in cash flows and changes in
shareholders' equity. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In all
material respects, the financial statements presented comply
with the current reporting requirements of supervisory
authorities. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the financial statement presentation of 1999. For
additional information and disclosures required under generally
accepted accounting principles, reference is made to Summit
Bancorp's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2.) Acquisitions
On March 31, 1999, Summit Bancorp completed the acquisition of
New Canaan Bank and Trust Company. New Canaan Bank and Trust
Company was headquartered in New Canaan, Connecticut and
operated four branches with $182 million in assets. This
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the issuance
of 1.1 million shares of treasury stock. The cost in excess of
the fair value of net assets acquired resulted in goodwill of
$35.1 million.
On August 1, 1999, Summit Bancorp completed the acquisition of
Prime Bancorp. Prime Bancorp was headquartered in Fort
Washington, Pennsylvania and operated 27 branches with $1.0
billion in assets. This acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase, with the issuance of 7.4 million shares of treasury
stock. The cost in excess of the fair value of net assets
acquired resulted in goodwill of $220.0 million.
On October 4, 1999 a definitive merger agreement was announced
to acquire NMBT Corp. NMBT Corp is headquartered in New Milford,
Connecticut and operates 10 branches with $392.0 million in
assets. The acquisition is expected to be consummated in the
first quarter of 2000, subject to regulatory and shareholder
approvals, and will be accounted for as a purchase. Summit
Bancorp expects to repurchase in the open market from time to
time, outstanding Summit Bancorp shares in a number equal to the
approximate number of shares to be issued in the acquisition, or
reissue treasury shares, depending upon market conditions and
other factors. Pursuant to the merger agreement, if the merger
is consummated, shareholders of NMBT Corp will be entitled to
receive between .7024 and .9503 shares of Summit Bancorp stock
in exchange for each share of NMBT Corp common stock owned.
3.) Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net
income by the weighted average common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed
similarly to that of basic net income per common share, except
that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all
potentially dilutive common shares, principally stock options,
were issued during the reporting period.

4.) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." This Statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. It requires recognition of all derivative
instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position and measurement of those instruments at fair
value. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a
material impact on the financial position or results of
operations of Summit Bancorp. With the issuance of SFAS No. 137
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-
Deferral of the effective date of FASB Statement No.133" the
effective date of SFAS No. 133 has been deferred to all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- -----------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
- -------------------------------------------------
Summit Bancorp is a bank holding company headquartered in
Princeton, New Jersey. Summit Bancorp owns bank subsidiaries in
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut and several active non-
bank subsidiaries. Summit Bancorp's bank subsidiaries provide a
broad range of retail, insurance, commercial and private banking
services as well as trust and investment services to
individuals, businesses, not-for-profit organizations,
government entities and other financial institutions. These
services are provided through an extensive branch network,
including supermarket branches and private banking facilities,
as well as through automated teller machines and the internet.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets at September 30, 1999, were $36.2 billion, an
increase of $3.1 billion, or 9.3 percent, from year-end 1998.
The growth came most notably from the loan and securities
portfolios, and was generally funded with the increase in
savings and time deposits, and borrowed funds. The purchase of
Prime Bancorp and New Canaan added $1.5 billion to total assets.
Total securities at September 30, 1999 were $11.2 billion, an
increase of $1.2 billion, or 11.5 percent, from year-end 1998.
Securities held to maturity at September 30, 1999, were $6.0
billion and mainly comprised of $3.9 billion of U.S. Government
and Federal agency securities, $1.9 billion of other securities,
predominately corporate collateralized mortgage obligations
("CMOs"), and $126.1 million of state and political subdivision
securities. These securities decreased $64.6 million, or 1.1
percent, from year-end 1998. For the nine months of 1999, $1.7
billion of held to maturity securities were purchased, offset by
principal repayments and maturities of $1.7 billion. At
September 30, 1999, and December 31, 1998, net unrealized
(losses) gains on securities held to maturity amounted to
($143.0) million and $15.0 million, respectively. At September
30, 1999, securities available for sale amounted to $5.2 billion
and were predominately comprised of U.S. Government and Federal
agency securities. These securities increased $1.2 billion, or
30.6 percent, from year-end 1998. The increase resulted from
$3.0 billion in purchases partially offset by sales and
maturities of $1.9 billion.
At September 30, 1999, total loans amounted to $22.7 billion, an
increase of $1.6 billion, or 7.6 percent, from year-end 1998.
Increases in commercial loans of $970.9 million, commercial
mortgages of $242.2 million and consumer loans of $605.5 million
were offset by the $209.1 million decrease in residential
mortgages. The increase in commercial loans was primarily
related to growth in asset based lending, commercial media and
the acquisition of Prime Bancorp, which added approximately
$280.0 million. The increase in commercial mortgages was
primarily related to the acquisition of Prime Bancorp, which
added approximately $183.5 million. The increase in the consumer
loan portfolio can generally be attributed to purchases of home
equity loans and the acquisition of Prime Bancorp. The decline
in residential mortgages of $209.1 million, or 3.7 percent, from
December 31, 1998 was due to mortgage sales and prepayments
exceeding the demand for new loans. Mortgage loans held for sale
amounted to $78.7 million and $183.3 million for the periods
ended September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 respectively.
Total deposits were $24.4 billion at September 30, 1999, an
increase of $1.2 billion, or 5.2 percent, from December 31,
1998. Savings and time deposits at $18.4 billion, increased $1.1
billion, or 6.6 percent, from December 31, 1998. The growth came
most notably from Summit's new cash management product, the
Summit Navigator Account, which increased $2.4 billion from
year-end 1998. Also increasing were demand deposits, which
increased $165.9 million, or 3.4 percent, from year-end 1998 to
$5.1 billion. The increase in demand deposits came mainly from
personal accounts and public funds. Partially offsetting this
increase was a decrease in commercial certificates of deposit
$100,000 and over, which were down $97.4 million, or 10.1
percent, compared to December 31, 1998.
Other borrowed funds at September 30, 1999, increased $1.3
billion, or 41.9 percent, from December 31, 1998, to $4.5
billion. The increase in other borrowed funds can be attributed
to increases in short-term repurchase agreements, federal funds
purchased and short term Federal Home Loan Bank notes. Long-term
debt at September 30, 1999, increased $398.0 million, or 11.1
percent, from December 31, 1998, to $4.0 billion. The increase
in long-term debt was principally the result of the increase in
repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank notes. The
increase in other borrowed funds and long-term debt was to fund
growth in earning assets. Included in long-term debt at each of
the periods presented are $150.0 million of 8.4 percent pass-
through securities qualifying as Tier I Capital.
Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 1999 was $2.9
billion, an increase of $128.7 million, or 4.7 percent, from
December 31, 1998. The increase was primarily attributed to
retained profits. Treasury stock at September 30, 1999 amounted
to $94.1 million and was comprised of 2.7 million shares. These
shares will be used for acquisitions, employee benefit plans,
and general corporate purposes. During the year, 8.4 million
shares of common stock were purchased. On August 1, 1999, 7.4
million shares were used for the acquisition of Prime Bancorp.
Included in shareholders' equity at September 30, 1999, was
accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax,
amounting to a loss of ($48.6) million, compared to a gain of
$12.1 million at year-end 1998. Accumulated other comprehensive
income is comprised principally of unrealized gains and losses
on securities available for sale. The decline in accumulated
other comprehensive income was due to the increase in interest
rates having a negative effect on the market value of fixed
income securities.
Summit Bancorp's capital ratios for September 30, 1999, compared
to select prior periods and regulatory requirements, are shown
in the following table. Summit Bancorp's bank subsidiaries met
the well-capitalized requirements for each of the periods
presented. The decreases in the ratios at September 30, 1999,
were principally attributable to purchase acquisitions, treasury
stock purchases and asset growth.

The average balances of non-performing loans amounted to $96.0
million and $75.2 million, for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 and September 30, 1998, respectively. Interest income
received on non-performing loans amounted to $2.3 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $1.7
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Loans, not included in the table above, which are past due 90
days or more amounted to $39.2 million, $45.3 million and $36.1
million at September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998, and September
30, 1998, respectively. These loans are primarily residential
mortgage and consumer loans which are well secured and in the
process of collection.
Potential problem loans, which are also excluded from the table
above, are loans where information about possible credit
problems of borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the
ability of such borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms.
These loans amounted to $7.1 million, $8.0 million and $3.6
million at September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998, and September
30, 1998, respectively.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to absorb
estimated credit losses in the loan portfolio as of the date of
the financial statements. A standardized process has been
established to assess the appropriateness of the allowance for
loan losses and to identify the risks inherent in the loan
portfolio. This process consists of (1) the identification of
specific reserves for identified problem loans, (2) the
calculation of general reserves, which includes a combination of
formula-driven allocations and minimum reserve levels by loan
type and grade, and (3) the determination of the unallocated
reserves.
Specific reserves, if any, are determined through a loan-by-loan
analysis of non-performing loans, with assessments made on the
borrower's ability to repay and the fair value of the underlying
collateral for collateral-dependent loans. If a loan's carrying
value is in excess of the discounted expected cash flows or the
value of the underlying collateral, the excess is specifically
reserved or charged off. The level of specific reserves is
generally the smallest component of the allowance for loan
losses.
There are three steps in the calculation of the general
reserves. Reserves are first determined by applying historical
loss factors to each loan and unused commitment by business
segment and loan grade. The historical loss factors are
calculated using a trailing six quarter loss migration analysis.
Adjustments are then made to the historical loss factor based on
six quantitative objective elements ("Delinquency", "Non-
performing Assets", "Watch Lists", "Charge-offs",
"Concentrations of Credit", and "Recoveries"), and three
subjective elements ("Economic Conditions", "Credit Audit's
Rating", and "Other Factors"), which have been developed to
provide greater accuracy to the process. This methodology is
applied to both the commercial and retail portfolios. The
reserves calculated for the retail portfolios (residential
mortgages and consumer loans) are generally sufficient to absorb
one year of expected losses. For the commercial portfolios, the
historical loss factor, inclusive of the adjustment, is then
compared to minimum reserve levels for each loan grade. The
larger of the two factors are used in the determination of the
reserves. The minimum level of reserves by loan classification
is .25% for pass loans, .75% for close follow loans, 1% for
special mention loans, 10% for substandard loans, 50% for
doubtful loans, and 100% for loss loans. These minimum reserve
levels have been consistently applied for all reported periods.
The last component of the loan loss reserve is the unallocated
reserve. The unallocated reserve is based upon management's
evaluation of the underlying inherent risk in the loan
portfolio. The appropriate level of reserves in the aggregate
is based on several factors: industry concentrations,
delinquency trends, economic trends, loan growth relative to the
overall allowance, the level of substandard assets, and the amount
of allocated and unallocated reserves relative to the total
loan portfolio. The unallocated portion of the allowance for
loan losses, in excess of specific and general reserves, was
$149.7 million at September 30, 1999, compared to $164.5 million
at December 31, 1998.
The 1999 provision for loan losses for the third quarter was
$76.5 million, a $58.5 million increase from the same period
a year ago, and $109.5 million, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, an increase of $58.5 million from the same period
a year ago. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 was attributed to the
increase in the level of charge offs, loan growth
and an increase in the inherent risk in the
loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses is charged to
expense to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed
appropriate by management to cover the credit risk inherent in
the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses may vary from
quarter to quarter due to loan growth or if there is a
significant increase in the inherent risk in the loan
portfolios. The allowance as a percentage of loans was 1.45
percent at September 30, 1999, compared to 1.53 percent and 1.55
percent at December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998,
respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, was $93.6
million, or $.54 per basic share, compared to $117.9 million, or
$.68 per basic share, for the third quarter of 1998. On a
diluted per share basis, net income for the three months ended
September 30, 1999, was $.53 per diluted share compared to $.67
for the same period in 1998.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net income was
$332.7 million or $1.93 per basic share compared to $348.8
million or $1.99 per basic share. On a diluted basis, net income
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, was $1.91 per
diluted share, compared to $1.96 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. The decline in net income per share for the
three and the nine months ended can be attributed to the
increase in the provision for loan losses in the third quarter.
The following are key performance indicators for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The cash-

Interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $1.7 billion for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $109.5
million, or 6.7 percent, compared to a year ago. Interest-
earning assets averaged $32.2 billion, an increase of $3.3
billion, or 11.4 percent, compared to the prior year period. The
increase in interest-earning assets contributed $183.0 million
to the increase in tax-equivalent interest income, partially
offset by a decline of $73.5 million due to the reduction in the
yield. The rate earned on interest-earning assets decreased 32
basis points to 7.22 percent in the 1999 period. The decrease
was generally the result of a lower interest rate environment as
compared to last year.
Interest expense increased $51.5 million, or 6.9 percent, for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same
period in 1998. The $2.9 billion or 12.7 percent growth in the
average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $26.0 billion
in the 1999 period contributed $95.1 million to the increase in
interest expense. This increase was partially offset by a
decrease of $43.6 million in interest expense resulting from a
decline in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 22 basis points
to 4.09 percent in the 1999 period.
Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $943.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of
$58.0 million, or 6.6 percent, compared to the same period in
1998. The net interest spread percentage on a tax-equivalent
basis (the difference between the rate earned on average
interest-earning assets and the rate paid on average interest-
bearing liabilities) was 3.13 percent for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, compared to 3.23 percent for the prior year
period. Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis as a
percentage of average interest-earning assets was 3.92 percent
for the nine months ended September 1999, compared to 4.10
percent during the same period in 1998. The decline in net
interest margin can be attributed primarily to narrower spreads
in a lower interest rate environment, the change in deposit mix,
and the purchase of treasury stock.
The rate/volume table below presents an analysis of the impact
on interest income and expense resulting from changes in average
volumes and rates over the periods. Changes that are not due to
volume or rate variances have been allocated proportionally to
both, based on their relative absolute values.

Service charges on deposit accounts remained unchanged for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared with 1998 and
decreased $2.4 million, or 2.5 percent, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, compared with the same period a year ago.
The decrease was a result of lower minimum balance requirements on retail
deposit accounts resulting in lower monthly maintenance fees.
Retail investment and insurance fees increased $5.9 million,
or 48.3 percent, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999,
compared with 1998, and increased $18.1 million or 48.8 percent,
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared with the same period
a year ago. The increase in retail investment and insurance fees
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, was primarily
due to increased annuity fees and insurance fees, resulting from
acquired insurance agencies.
Service and loan fee income decreased $1.0 million, or 6.8
percent, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared with
1998. The decrease was primarily a result of lower mortgage
origination income, which was partially offset by higher
merchant credit card activity. Service and loan fee income
increased $2.5 million, or 5.6 percent, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same period a year
ago. The increase is due primarily to increased merchant credit
card activity and mortgage servicing income.
Trust income increased $2.6 million, or 24.8 percent, for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared with 1998, and $6.3
million, or 19.9 percent, for the nine months ended September
30, 1999, compared to the same period a year ago. The increase
in trust income for both the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was generally due to increases in personal
trust fees and asset management advisory fees.
Other income increased $2.0 million, or 9.6 percent, for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, compared with 1998, and
$11.5 million or 23.0 percent, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, compared to the same period a year ago. The
increase for the three months ended September 30, 1999, was
attributable to a $4.1 million gain on sale of mortgage
servicing rights. The increase for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 was primarily attributable to a $5.9 million gain on the sale
of the credit card portfolio in the first quarter, as well as the
previously mentioned third quarter gain. Included in the third quarter
of 1998, was a $7.0 million gain from limited partnership investment.

</TABLE>
Salaries increased $9.8 million, or 12.6 percent, for the
quarter ended September 30,1999, compared to the same quarter in
1998, and $ 21.8 million, or 9.5 percent, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period a year ago.
In addition to the annual merit increases, salaries rose
approximately $3.9 million and $7.5 million from acquisitions,
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999,
respectively. There were 8,971 full-time equivalent employees at
September 30, 1999, compared to 8,244 the same period a year
ago.
Pension and employee benefits increased $.5 million, or 2.0
percent, for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared
with the same quarter in 1998, and $5.9 million, or 7.2 percent
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to the
same period a year ago. The increases were primarily
attributable to pension and incentive
compensation expense related to higher levels of core salaries.
Furniture and equipment expenses increases $2.9 million, or 13.6
percent, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared with
the same quarter in 1998, and $6.6 million or 10.7 percent, for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same
period a year ago. This increase was primarily due to the
recent bank acquisitions, increases in equipment maintenance,
mainframe application software and increases in leasing expenses
associated with personal computers.
Occupancy increased $1.7 million, or 9.4 percent, for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared with the same quarter
in 1998, and $4.7 million, or 8.7 percent, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same period a year
ago. The increase was primarily due to recent bank acquisitions
and increases in rent and depreciation expense.
Communications expense increased $.4 million, or 5.1 percent, for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999,compared with the same quarter
in 1998, and $1.1 million, or 4.3 percent, for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same period a year
ago. The increases were primarily due to increased telephone usage
and an increase in postage expense.
Amortization of goodwill and intangibles increased $3.4 million,
or 70.2 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
and $6.3 million or 44.4 percent for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, compared to the same period a year ago. The
increase was due to the purchase acquisitions of Prime Bancorp,
NSS Bancorp, New Canaan Bank & Trust Company, W.M. Ross and
Company, and Madison Consulting Group.
Advertising and public relations expense decreased $.8 million,
or 13.3 percent, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999,
compared to the same quarter in 1998, and $1.7 million, or 9.0
percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared
to the same period a year ago. The decrease was mainly due to a
decline in general advertising costs.
Other expenses did not vary significantly from period to period.
Included in other expenses were legal and professional fees of
$7.0 million and $21.9 million, for the three and nine month
periods, respectively.
The effective income tax rate was 31.9 percent for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, compared with 30.8 percent
compared with the same quarter in 1998, and 33.4 percent for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared with 31.3 percent
for the same period a year ago. The lower effective tax rate for 1998 was
the result of benefits received from the implementation of
business strategies in the 1998 period that will not be realized
in 1999.
During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company will
take a restructuring charge of approximately $25 - $30 million
pretax in conjunction with the realignment of its key lines of
business and lines of support. The Company estimates that its
business realignment will eliminate between 200 and 250
positions, and produce estimated cost saving of $20.0 million
pretax annually.
LINES OF BUSINESS
For management purposes, Summit Bancorp is segmented into the
following lines of business: Retail Banking, Commercial Banking,
and Investment Services and Private Banking. The investment
portfolio and activities not included in these lines are
reflected in Corporate and Other. Summit Bancorp's
profitability measurement system uses internal management
accounting policies that ensure business line results reflect
the underlying economics of each business unit, and the results
are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any
other financial institution.
Net income includes revenues and expenses directly associated
with each line in addition to allocations of revenue earned and
expenses incurred by support units such as operations and
technology. Centrally provided corporate services and general
overhead are allocated on a per-unit cost basis or in proportion
to the balances of assets, liabilities and operating expenses
associated with the particular business line. A matched
maturity funds transfer pricing methodology is employed to
assign a cost of funds to the assets of each business line, as
well as to assign a value of funds to the liabilities and equity
of each business line. The provision for loan losses is based on
the historical credit losses for each line of business. The
anticipated consolidated effective income tax rate is applied to
each line of business, after consideration of earnings of tax-
advantaged assets within the lines of business.
In 1999, Summit Bancorp implemented a new business unit
profitability system, which prospectively provides enhanced
management reporting, including an enhanced methodology with
respect to the allocation of the provisions for loan losses.
Certain prior period information has been restated to conform to
the 1999 presentation with respect to the allocation of funds
transfer charges or credits for assigned assets, liabilities and
equity.

Retail Banking
Retail Banking meets the banking needs of individuals and small
businesses through traditional and supermarket branches in New
Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, and southern Connecticut. Summit
also offers its customers an expanding array of 24-hour banking
services through automated teller machines, telephone banking
centers, and the internet. Mortgage loans, home equity loans
and lines of credit, direct and indirect consumer loans and
small business commercial loans are offered through Summit
Bancorp's broad network of branches.
Average loans for the quarter ended September 30, 1999,
increased $694.3 million, or 6.3 percent, to $11.8 billion from
the same period in 1998, primarily in the consumer lending area.
Total average deposits for the third quarter of 1999 increased
to $21.4 billion, up $2.5 billion from a year ago. This
increase was attributable to the growth in the Summit Navigator
Account introduced in the fourth quarter of 1998. Net interest
income for the quarter increased $19.1 million, or 10.2 percent,
over last year, primarily due to similar growth in loans and deposits.
The increase in non-interest income of $6.4 million is primarily
due to a $4.1 million gain on the sale of mortgage servicing
rights. Non-interest expenses for the quarter increased $7.9
million, or 6.0 percent, over last year, primary due to salary
and miscellaneous expenses of which half are due to acquisitions.
Net income for the quarter was up $9.2 million, or 13.9 percent,
from a year ago to $75.2 million.
Commercial Banking
Commercial Banking is focused on meeting the banking
requirements of large and middle-market businesses. Asset based
lending, international trade services, equipment leasing, real
estate financing, private placement, mezzanine financing,
aircraft lending, correspondent banking, treasury services,
limited partnership investments, and structured finance services
are actively solicited through a network of relationship
managers. Demand and interest-bearing deposit accounts and
services are provided through the branch network.
Total average loans for the quarter ended September 30, 1999,
were $9.0 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion, or 17.0 percent,
over the same period in 1998 primarily in asset-based lending
and commercial media lending. Net interest income for the third
quarter of 1999 increased $5.8 million, or 8.7 percent, from
1998, driven by the increase in average loans. Non-interest
income for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 declined $5.1
million, or 30.0 percent, from prior year due to $7.0 million in
limited partnership investment income recorded in the third quarter of 1998.
Non-interest expense increased $6.3 million over the prior year
to $33.7 million due to higher salaries and indirect expenses.
Net income decreased $44.7 million, or 137.1 percent, from the
same period last year due to a $60.0 loan loss provision prompted by
the adverse outlook for a borrower following a bankruptcy filing.
Investment Services and Private Banking
Investment Services provides a full range of trust,
administrative, and custodial services to individuals and
institutions, in addition to investment products and discount
brokerage. The line also markets a wide variety of insurance
products for the personal and corporate marketplace. This
segment also includes Private Banking, which provides personal
credit services for individuals, lawyers, accountants and their firms,
and business loans, lines of credit and deposit accounts and services.
The major portion of the increases in non-interest income and
expense over the prior period reflects the acquisitions of W.M.
Ross & Company and Madison Consulting Group, two insurance
subsidiaries, in the second half of 1998. Also contributing to
the increase in non-interest income was higher fee income in
trust, mutual funds and annuities. Net income for the quarter was
$8.5 million, up $1.3 million, or 18.1 percent, from a year ago.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other is primarily comprised of the treasury
function, which is responsible for managing interest-rate risk
and the investment portfolios. In addition, certain revenues
and expenses not considered allocable to a line of business are
reflected in this area.
Net interest income increased $4.0 million, or 17.0 percent,
from 1998, primarily due to growth in the securities portfolio.
The securities portfolios, averaged $11.0 billion for the second quarter
of 1999, up $1.4 billion, or 15.2 percent, from the prior year.
The increase in non-interest income in 1999 was primarily due
to gains on security transactions in the third quarter of 1999.
Net income was up for the quarter $9.9 million, or 81.8 percent,
to $22.0 million.
Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure
Issues surrounding the Year 2000 arise out of the fact that many
existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a
year in the date field. With the approach of the Year 2000,
computer hardware and software that are not made Year 2000 ready
might interpret "00" as year 1900 rather than year 2000. The
Year 2000 problem is not just a technology issue; it also
involves Summit Bancorp's assessment of building equipment,
environmental systems, customers, suppliers and third parties.
Risks of Year 2000 Issues:
Management believes that the Year 2000 project is on schedule
and that its efforts are adequate to address Year 2000 issues.
However, failure to successfully resolve critical issues could
have a material impact on Summit Bancorp's operations. The
primary risks associated with the Year 2000 are as follows:
The first is the risk that Summit Bancorp's systems are not
ready for operation by January 1, 2000. These systems must be
remediated, tested, and made ready for the Year 2000 in a timely
manner.
The second is the risk of operational disruption due to
operational failures of third parties. Failure of one or more
third parties to modify their systems in a timely manner may
have a material and adverse effect on Summit Bancorp's
operations. This risk is viewed as the one that is most
reasonably likely to occur, therefore appropriate contingency
plans are being prepared.
The third is the risk of business interruption among customers
such that funding and repayment do not take place in a timely
manner. As a result, there may be increases in problem loans and
credit losses in future years.
State of Readiness:
Summit Bancorp has been working since 1995 to remediate its
information technology ("IT") and non-IT systems for the Year
2000. All of the 330 software systems being tracked by Summit
Bancorp, and the computer equipment they run on, have completed
Summit Bancorp's seven-phase Year 2000 project program, which is
as follows: Developing a Strategic Approach, Creating
Organizational Awareness, Assessing Actions and Developing
Detailed Plans, Renovating (remediating), Validating (testing),
Implementing (remediated code into production), and Implementing
(totally future-date certified). Additionally, Summit Bancorp
has completed the above project program for certain non-
critical, stand-alone personal computer (PC)-based software
applications.
Testing of automated interfaces with third parties including
principal settlement methods associated with major payment
systems involving systems of other financial institutions and
governmental agencies has been completed. In addition, the
capability Summit Bancorp established for its customers to test
their automated interfaces with Summit Bancorp between May and
September of 1999 was extended into late October 1999.
Non-IT systems with embedded chip technology for all building,
environmental, and security systems have been remediated,
tested, and confirmed as Year 2000 ready. Telecommunications
software and equipment, both voice and data, have been fully
remediated, tested, and confirmed as Year 2000 ready. The
banking and telecommunications industries completed multiple
joint end to end tests of major carriers and bank networks in
the second quarter of 1999 with no Year 2000 related problems.
Although Summit Bancorp was not one of the banks participating
in these tests, review of the methodology and results support
Summit Bancorp's own assessment of the Year 2000 readiness of the
telecommunications services on which it relies.
Communication with third parties that may have a material
relationship with Summit Bancorp has been initiated to determine
whether they have appropriate plans to be Year 2000 ready. An
inventory of important vendors has been completed and Summit
Bancorp's vendor risk assessment and preparedness evaluation
activities are ongoing. Summit Bancorp's plans to minimize
third-party risk include contingency planning for important
vendors. All of Summit Bancorp's significant vendors have
responded to the Year 2000 inquiries made by Summit Bancorp,
with approximately 96 percent claiming to be currently Year 2000
compliant. Vendor responses were reviewed for completeness and
incomplete responses were followed up with additional
correspondence, telephone calls or both. In some cases, Year
2000 readiness information was obtained from publicly available
sources, including vendor or third party websites. Confidence
levels were developed based on the quality of the vendor's
responses to Summit Bancorp's written inquiries, use of publicly
available information, and the vendor's prior track record in
meeting its commitments to Summit Bancorp. With limited
exception Summit Bancorp's suppliers have been found to be
making satisfactory progress toward achieving Year 2000 readiness.
Summit Bancorp will have appropriate contingency plans in place
for those which are not making satisfactory progress. Summit
Bancorp has not assessed the enforceability of any
representations by these vendors as to their Year 2000
compliance status, preferring to focus its Year 2000 resources
on developing appropriate contingency plans where it does not
have sufficient confidence in a vendor's Year 2000 status.
These representations may or may not be enforceable, depending
on the facts and circumstances of particular vendor
relationships, but Summit Bancorp has not relied on the
enforceability of such representations in its Year 2000
readiness efforts.
To minimize the impact from those customers who may experience a
disruption in their operations because they have not adequately
considered Year 2000 issues, a program has been implemented for
monitoring and measuring customer Year 2000 readiness. Customers
with borrowing commitments of $1 million or more, and customers
monitored by the internal risk rating system with outstanding
loan balances of $500 thousand or more, have been reviewed for
Year 2000 readiness, and will continue to be reviewed on a
quarterly basis during 1999. Certain customers have been
identified as having additional credit risk as a direct result
of the Year 2000. Those risks have been considered and
incorporated in the analysis of the adequacy of the loan loss
allowance. All new loan customers and renewals of existing loans
are assessed as part of the underwriting process.
Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues:
The estimated cost of the Year 2000 project is $23 million. The
project is staffed with both external contract and internal
personnel. This estimate includes the cost of retention programs
for key systems personnel, a portion of which will be paid
beyond January 1, 2000. To date, incremental internal costs
totaling $7.4 million have been incurred. These costs include
compensation and benefits for internal personnel assigned full-
time to the project, the retention program, and other ancillary
costs. In addition, $12.4 million of external costs, including
external contract personnel and payments to third parties, have
been incurred to date. The total cost incurred to date is $19.8
million. Of the remaining balance, approximately $2.0 million is expected to
be used for the payment of retention bonuses in the Year 2000
and the expense of maintaining additional staff in premises over
the Year 2000 weekend.
Contingency Plans:
Summit Bancorp has created certain remediation and business
resumption contingency plans specific to the Year 2000 project.
Remediation contingency plans address the actions to be taken if
remediation of a mission-critical system falls behind schedule.
Remediation for all mission critical systems has been completed.
None of the three remediation contingency plans that were
prepared for mission-critical systems had to be triggered.
Business resumption contingency plans address the actions that
will be taken if critical business functions cannot be carried
out in the normal manner due to system or third-party failures.
These plans supplement existing disaster recovery plans and have
been updated to include potential Year 2000 related failures.
Business resumption plans will be maintained current and will be
tested during the remainder of 1999.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is the ability to meet the borrowing needs and deposit
withdrawal requirements of customers and support asset growth.
Principal sources of liquidity are deposit generation, access to
purchased funds, maturities and repayments of loans and
investment securities and interest and fee income.
The consolidated statements of cash flows present the change in
cash and due from banks from operating, investing and financing
activities. During the first nine months of 1999, net cash
provided by operating activities totaled $438.0 million.
Contributing to net cash provided by operating activities were
the results of operations, plus noncash expenses, and proceeds
from the sales of mortgages held for sale. Partially offsetting
the contributions to operating cash were funds used to originate
mortgage loans held for sale and noncash revenues.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.8 billion. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net cash used in
transactions involving the investment portfolios totaled $928.1
million, while the loan portfolio used $894.9 million.
Scheduled maturities and anticipated principal repayments of the
securities portfolio's will approximate $568.0 million
throughout the balance of 1999. In addition, all or part of $5.2
billion securities available for sale portfolio could be sold,
providing another source of liquidity. These sources can also be
used to meet the funding needs during periods of loan growth.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.3 billion.
During the first nine months of 1999, other borrowed funds and
long-term debt increased $1.6 billion. This increase was
partially offset by the purchase of common stock of $317.7
million, and the payment of common stock dividends.
Liquidity is also available through additional lines of credit
and the ability to incur additional debt. The banking
subsidiaries have established lines of credit with the Federal
Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and
other correspondent banks, which further support and enhance
liquidity. In addition, in November 1998 two of Summit Bancorp's
banking subsidiaries, Summit Bank (New Jersey) and Summit Bank
(Pennsylvania), executed a distribution agreement providing for
the possible issuance, from time to time, of senior and
subordinated notes to a maximum of $3.75 billion on an
underwritten or agency basis.
Liquidity is also important at the Parent Company in order to
provide funds for operations and to pay dividends to
shareholders. Parent Company cash requirements are met primarily
through management fees and dividends from its subsidiaries, the
issuance of short and long-term debt and the exercise of stock
options. The amount of dividends that can be assessed to the
bank subsidiaries is subject to certain regulatory restrictions.
LOOKING AHEAD
This report contains certain forward-looking statements, either
expressed or implied, which are provided to assist the reader to
understand anticipated future financial performance. These
forward-looking statements involve certain risks, uncertainties,
estimates and assumptions made by management.
Factors that may cause actual results to differ from those
results expressed or implied include, but are not limited to,
the interest rate environment and the overall economy, the
ability of customers to repay their obligations, the adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses, including realizable collateral
valuations, charge offs and recoveries, the progress of
integrating acquired financial institutions, competition and
technological changes, including the Year 2000 issue. Although
management has taken certain steps to mitigate the negative
effect of the above mentioned items, significant unfavorable
changes could severely impact the assumptions used and have an
adverse affect on profitability.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the nature of Summit Bancorp's business, market risk is
primarily its exposure to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk
is the impact that changes in interest rates have on future
earnings. The principal objective in managing interest rate risk
is to maximize net interest income within the acceptable levels
of risk that have been previously established by policy. This
risk can be reduced by various strategies, including the
administration of liability costs, the reinvestment of asset
maturities and the use of off-balance sheet financial
instruments. Summit Bancorp has limited risks associated with
foreign currencies.
Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of simulation
modeling techniques which apply alternative interest rate
scenarios to periodic forecasts of future business activity,
projecting the related impact to net interest income. The use of
simulation modeling assists management in its continuing efforts
to achieve earnings growth in varying interest rate
environments.
Key assumptions in the model include anticipated prepayments on
mortgage-related instruments, contractual cash flows and
maturities of all financial instruments including derivatives,
anticipated future business activity, deposit sensitivity and
changes in market conditions. Selected core deposit rates are
held constant based on the results of analysis of historical
rate movements.
These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and as a result,
these models cannot precisely estimate the impact that higher or
lower rate environments will have on net interest income. Actual
results will differ from simulated results due to timing,
magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, changes in
market condition, as well as changes in management's strategies.
Based on the results of the interest simulation model as of
September 30, 1999, Summit Bancorp would expect a decrease of
$53.0 million in net interest income and an increase of $43.0
million in net interest income, if interest rates increase or
decrease 100 basis points, respectively, from current interest
rates in an immediate and parallel shock over a twelve month
period. At December 31, 1998, Summit Bancorp expected a decrease
of $17.0 million in net interest income and an increase of 1.4
million in net interest income if interest rates decreased or
increased 100 basis points, respectively. The interest simulation model
does not include asset and liability strategies that could be
deployed to mitigate the impact of changes in the interest rate
environment.
Interest rate risk management efforts also involve the use of
certain derivative financial instruments for the purpose of
stabilizing net interest income in a changing interest rate
environment. The derivative financial instruments portfolio
consists principally of interest rate swaps. At September 30,
1999, the notional values of these instruments were $279.0
million. These derivatives resulted in a reduction in net
interest income of $1.3 million for the first nine months of
1999. The cost to terminate these contracts at September 30,
1999, would have been $197.6 thousand.

Company ("Walnut") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Equipment
Leasing Corporation of America ("ELCOA"), for which Summit Bank (Pennsylvania)
(formerly known as First Valley Bank) acted as indenture
trustee. Plaintiffs allege that the bank breached contractual
and fiduciary duties and violated the Trust Indenture Act by
(1) continuing to act as Trustee despite knowledge that the
money being raised under the Walnut and ELCOA Indenture
Agreements was being used to pay off the companies' debt to past
purchasers; (2) permitting Walnut and ELCOA to default on their
obligations under the Trust Indenture Act and the Trust
Indenture Agreement by submitting false and misleading reports

by both ELCOA and Walnut despite knowledge that the interests of
the two groups of holders were adverse to one another.
Plaintiffs also alleged violations of the Pennsylvania Unfair
Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act. On September 17,
1999, the Court granted the Bank's motion to dismiss this claim.
Plaintiffs' complaint does not specify and Summit is currently

extent of any and all existing utility and other easements on such
Parcel which are shown on the title commitment or are visible from the
surface;
(b) an owner's title insurance commitment (the "Commitment")
with respect to each Parcel issued by Chicago Title Insurance
Corporation (the "Title Company"), National Business Unit, 1129-20th
Street NW, Suite 300, Washington, D.C. 20036, Attention: Selina I.
Parelskin, for an ALTA Form B policy or its equivalent with extended
coverage and such endorsements (including, but not limited to a zoning

date of this Agreement;
(c) a current complete Phase I environmental investigation
report of each Parcel (the "Environmental Audit") conducted by an
environmental inspection company acceptable to Purchaser and detailing
and analyzing those aspects of such Parcel as set forth in the
guidelines attached as Schedule II;
(d) a current engineering report on each Parcel (the
"Engineering Report") prepared in accordance with the guidelines
attached hereto as Schedule III in form and substance reasonably

2
<PAGE>
the guidelines attached hereto as Schedule IV; and
(f) copies of any existing leases between Seller and tenants
of any Parcel (the "Subleases").
The materials referred to in Subsections 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), 3(d) and
3(e) are hereinafter referred to as the "Due Diligence Materials." The date upon
which the last of the Due Diligence Materials are delivered to Purchaser is
referred to herein as the "Delivery Date."
If the Delivery Date is on or before November 15, 1999, Purchaser shall
have until December 10, 1999 (the "Due Diligence Period") within which to object
in writing to the substantive matters reflected in the Due Diligence Materials.
Seller shall within 30 days thereafter (i) use all diligence and good faith to
forthwith remove or cure any such substantive matters to which Purchaser has
objected or (ii) enter into an agreement in form and substance acceptable to
Purchaser to remove or cure such matters prior to Closing and proceed to
Closing. With respect to any Parcel, Seller shall not be obligated to expend in
excess of $50,000 to remove or cure such matters, except for monetary liens such
as mortgages, mechanics' liens, judgements and other similar encumbrances. If
Seller shall fail to remove or cure, or agree to remove or cure, such
substantive matters to which Purchaser has objected within such 30-day period or
if in the judgment of Seller such matters cannot be cured then Purchaser may
terminate this Agreement with respect to any or all Parcels or close on such
Parcel without any reduction in the Purchase Price for such Parcel. In the event
of such termination with respect to all Parcels the Earnest Money shall be
returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligation under
this Agreement except as specifically set forth herein.
Prior to the Delivery Date, Seller shall have delivered with respect to
each Parcel, a certificate of occupancy, if the local zoning ordinance requires
issuance of a new certificate of occupancy as a condition of transfer.
Section 4. Inspection; Due Diligence. During the term of this
Agreement, Purchaser or its agents shall be permitted access to the Premises
during normal business hours upon reasonable notice so long as Purchaser shall
not interfere with the operations of Seller and shall comply with the security
requirements of Seller. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Due
Diligence Period to perform whatever investigations, tests and inspections
Purchaser deems reasonably appropriate. Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser's
due diligence review and shall make available to Purchaser, upon reasonable
notice and during business hours, all books and records concerning the operation
and maintenance of the Premises. Seller shall also make available to Purchaser
(i) all public information concerning Seller's general business affairs and (ii)
financial information for Seller's parent holding company Summit Bancorp which
would comply with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for reporting
by a public company for the most recent annual and quarterly fiscal periods and
the most recent "call report" filed by Seller with the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York. Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to any or all of the
Parcels if Purchaser's due diligence reveals any matters which would make any
Parcel or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement unacceptable to
Purchaser in Purchaser's sole discretion. Purchaser agrees to indemnify against
and hold Seller harmless from any claim for liabilities, costs, expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred), damages or injuries
arising out of or resulting from the inspection of the
3
<PAGE>
Premises by Purchaser or its agents, and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless
Seller shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
Section 5. Closing. Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this
Agreement the closing of the purchase and sale transaction contemplated by this
Agreement (the "Closing") shall occur not later than 15 days after the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the "Closing Date"). The Closing shall
occur on the Closing Date at 10:00 a.m. in the offices of the Title Company
unless another place of Closing is mutually agreed to by Seller and Purchaser.
At the Closing, and as a condition of Purchaser's obligation to close,
Seller is to convey title to each Parcel to Purchaser by a bargain and sale deed
with covenant against grantor's acts sufficient to permit the issuance of the
owner's policy of title insurance referred to in subsection 6(a)(iii) of this
Agreement, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, covenants,
conditions and restrictions, except for such exceptions as are set forth on
Schedule B, Section 2 of each Commitment and are not objected to by Purchaser
(the "Permitted Exceptions"). Any monetary judgements of record against Seller
may be insured over by the Title Company and removed as exceptions to the title
policies for any Parcel. To the extent any title defect with respect to any
Parcel arises after the date of the Commitment and prior to the Closing, except
with respect to defects arising out of Purchaser's action on such Parcel, Seller
shall be obligated to cure such defect to the same extent as if it appeared
during the Due Diligence Period and if it is not cured or waived by Purchaser,
Purchaser may terminate this Agreement without further liability of one to the
other.
Section 6. Conditions to Closing. (a) Purchaser shall not be obligated
to close the purchase and sale transaction contemplated by this Agreement until
all of the following conditions have been waived by Purchaser or satisfied:

be required by applicable state law and to conform to the particular
facts of such Parcel; provided, however, the rent during the Primary
Term and Extended Terms, if any, shall be as indicated on the Rent
Schedule attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement as allocated pursuant
to this Agreement, together with (B) a memorandum thereof in recordable
form (a "Lease Agreement"). To the extent that Purchaser finances a
portion of the Purchaser Price and places a mortgage on any Parcel,
such mortgage will either be subordinate to the Lease Agreement or the
holder of such mortgage shall have entered into a subordination and
nondisturbance agreement reasonably acceptable to Seller;
(iii) The Title Company shall have issued to Purchaser an ALTA
1992 Form B owner's fee policy of title insurance or its equivalent for
each Parcel, insuring title to such Parcel to be in the name of
Purchaser as set forth herein, and a simultaneously issued ALTA
4
<PAGE>
lender's policy of title insurance to Purchaser's financial
institution, if one is used, in an amount equal to the Purchase Price
with respect to the owner's policy and in an amount not in excess of
the Purchase Price with respect to the lender's policy and containing
only Permitted Exceptions and otherwise consistent with the title
insurance commitment referred to in Subsection 3(b) of this Agreement
or, in the alternative, an irrevocable commitment for the issuance
thereof showing that all requirements have been satisfied.
(iv) Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser certificates in
form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser evidencing the insurance
coverage and policies to be carried by Seller, as lessee, under the
terms of each Lease Agreement naming Purchaser or Purchaser's nominee
or assigns (if any) as additional insured to the extent required by the
Lease Agreement;

any, an opinion by Seller's counsel, to the effect that each Lease

Seller, as lessee thereunder enforceable against Seller, as lessee, in
accordance with its terms, subject to qualifications for bankruptcy or
insolvency and principles of equity, and to such other effects as
Purchaser may reasonably require;
(vii) There shall have been no material adverse change in the
financial condition of Seller from the date hereof;
(viii) Seller shall have delivered to Purchaser a "nonforeign"
certificate pursuant to Treas. Reg. ss. 1.14452T(b)(2), in form and
substance satisfactory to Purchaser, or such other evidence that Seller
is not a "foreign person" within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code
Section 1445 as Purchaser may reasonably require;
(ix) With respect to each Parcel, Seller shall have obtained,
at its sole cost and expense, a Letter of Non-Applicability" or a "No
Further Action Letter" pursuant to the terms of the Industrial Site

(x) All representations, warranties and covenants of Seller
set forth herein shall have been true and correct in all material
respects when made and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing a
certificate stating that all such representations, warranties and
covenants remain true and correct in all material respects at and as of
the Closing; and

documents as reasonably may be required in order to fully and legally

the Closing; and
(iv) Purchaser shall have delivered to Seller such further
documents as may reasonably be required in order to fully and legally
close this transaction.
Section 7. Prorations. In view of the continuing relationship between
lessee and lessor under each Lease Agreement, and the obligations of lessee,
under the terms and conditions of each Lease Agreement, there shall be no
proration of insurance, taxes, special assessments, utilities or any other
costs; it being the intention of Purchaser and Seller that all such costs shall
be the obligation of Seller prior to Closing and the obligation of Seller, as
lessee from and after Closing.
Section 8. Risk of Casualty Loss. From the date hereof until Closing,
Seller shall continue to maintain each Parcel and all other improvements in good
condition and repair, and promptly notify Purchaser of the occurrence of any
event known to it which materially affects the value or utility of any Parcel.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after the date hereof
to the Closing, Seller is considered the owner of each Parcel for all purposes
and shall be entitled to receive all insurance proceeds and/or condemnation
awards that may become payable with respect thereto. Any and all risks

Parcel, at its election, (i) terminate and cancel this Agreement in which event
Seller and Purchaser shall be relieved and discharged of any further liability
or obligation under this Agreement with respect to such Parcel, except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein, or (ii) proceed to Closing on such Parcel

applicable Lease Agreement as if it had occurred after the commencement date of
each Lease Agreement.
