Past performance does not guarantee future results. There can be no assurance that working with a financial advisor will improve investment results. Investors cannot invest directly in indexes. Average equity investor and average bond investor performances were used from the Dalbar study “Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior” (QAIB), 2011. QAIB calculates investor returns as the change in assets after excluding sales, redemptions and exchanges. This method of calculation captures realized and unrealized capital gains, dividends, interest, trading costs, sales charges, fees, expenses and any other costs, annualized over the period. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks generally representative of the US stock market. Inflation is measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Opportunity, Yes. But Where Is the Catalyst?
Sustained outperformance probably requires economic clarity
Odds of economic catastrophe reduced
Malaise continues, and uncertainty about sustainable rate of growth remains high
Performance highly leveraged to small changes in perceived growth rates
Investor conviction in valuation as a catalyst is hostage to uncertainty
What to do?
Uncertain outlooks and attractive valuations go hand in hand— we cannot remain true to our discipline and avoid it
Temper uncertainty with evidence of current success and balance-sheet strength

Notes on Dynamic Asset Allocation Simulation Results
The asset allocation framework discussed in this presentation is a new strategy for which actual data are not yet available. The portfolios and their performance are hypothetical and do not represent the investment performance or the actual accounts of any investors or any mutual funds. The securities in these hypothetical portfolios were selected with the full benefit of hindsight, after their performance over the period shown was known. The results achieved in our simulations do not guarantee future investment results. The model performance information in this presentation is based on the back-tested performance of hypothetical investments over the time periods indicated. “Back-testing” is a process of objectively simulating historical investment returns by applying a set of rules for buying and selling securities, and other assets, backward in time, testing those rules, and hypothetically investing in the securities and other assets that are chosen. Back-testing is designed to allow investors to understand and evaluate certain strategies by seeing how they would have performed hypothetically during certain time periods. It is possible that the markets will perform better or worse than shown in the projections; that the actual results of an investor who invests in the manner these projections suggest will be better or worse than the projections; and that an investor may lose money by investing in the manner the projections suggest. The projections assume the reinvestment of dividends and include transaction costs of 0.6% for purchases and sales of equities and bonds and 1.0% for real estate investment trusts (REITs). For equity and bond derivatives, we assume total one-way transaction costs and cost of financing of 0.5%. We assume no deduction for advisory fees, and that assets are allocated in the manner the projections suggest for nearly 40 years and are rebalanced monthly. Although the information contained herein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, its accuracy and completeness cannot be guaranteed. While back-testing results reflect rigorous application of the investment strategy selected, back-tested results have certain limitations and should not be considered indicative of future results. In particular, they do not reflect actual trading in an account, so there is no guarantee that an actual account would have achieved these results shown. Back-tested results also assume that asset allocations would not have changed over time and in response to market conditions, which might have occurred if an actual account had been managed during the time period shown. AllianceBernstein L.P. may have a different investment perspective and maintain different asset allocations or other recommendations from those shown here.

Notes on Wealth Forecasting System
1. Purpose and Description of Wealth Forecasting Analysis
Bernstein’s Wealth Forecasting Analysis is designed to assist investors in making their long-term investment decisions as to their allocation of investments among categories of financial assets. Our planning tool consists of a four-step process: (1) Client-Profile Input: the client’s asset allocation, income, expenses, cash withdrawals, tax rate, risk-tolerance level, goals and other factors; (2) Client Scenarios: in effect, questions the client would like our guidance on, which may touch on issues such as when to retire, what his cash-flow stream is likely to be, whether his portfolio can beat inflation long-term, and how different asset allocations might impact his long-term security; (3) The Capital-Markets Engine: our proprietary model that uses our research and historical data to create a vast range of market returns, which takes into account the linkages within and among the capital markets, as well as their unpredictability; and finally (4) A Probability Distribution of Outcomes: based on the assets invested pursuant to the stated asset allocation, 90% of the estimated ranges of returns and asset values the client could expect to experience are represented within the range established by the 5th and 95th percentiles on “box-and-whiskers” graphs. However, outcomes outside this range are expected to occur 10% of the time; thus, the range does not establish the boundaries for all outcomes. Expected market returns on bonds are derived taking into account yield and other criteria. An important assumption is that stocks will, over time, outperform long bonds by a reasonable amount, although this is in no way a certainty. Moreover, actual future results may not meet Bernstein’s estimates of the range of market returns, as these results are subject to a variety of economic, market and other variables. Accordingly, the analysis should not be construed as a promise of actual future results, the actual range of future results or the actual probability that these results will be realized. The information provided here is not intended for public use or distribution beyond our private meeting.
2. Rebalancing
Another important planning assumption is how the asset allocation varies over time. We attempt to model how the portfolio would actually be managed. Cash flows and cash generated from portfolio turnover are used to maintain the selected asset allocation between cash, bonds, stocks, REITs and hedge funds over the period of the analysis. Where this is not sufficient, an optimization program is run to trade off the mismatch between the actual allocation and targets against the cost of trading to rebalance. In general, the portfolio allocation will be maintained reasonably close to its target. In addition, in later years, there may be contention between the total relationship’s allocation and those of the separate portfolios. For example, suppose an investor (in the top marginal federal tax bracket) begins with an asset mix consisting entirely of municipal bonds in his/her personal portfolio and entirely of stocks in his/her retirement portfolio. If personal assets are spent, the mix between stocks and bonds will be pulled away from targets. We put primary weight on maintaining the overall allocation near target, which may result in an allocation to taxable bonds in the retirement portfolio as the personal assets decrease in value relative to the retirement portfolio’s value.

3. Expenses and Spending Plans (Withdrawals)
All results are generally shown after applicable taxes and after anticipated withdrawals and/or additions, unless otherwise noted. Liquidations may result in realized gains or losses, which will have capital gains tax implications.
4. Modeled Asset Classes
The following assets or indexes were used in this analysis to represent the various model classes:
5. Volatility
Volatility is a measure of dispersion of expected returns around the average. The greater the volatility, the more likely it is that returns in any one period will be substantially above or below the expected result. The volatility for each asset class used in this analysis is listed on the Capital Markets Projections page at the end of these Notes. In general, two-thirds of the returns will be within one standard deviation. For example, assuming that stocks are expected to return 8.0% on a compounded basis and the volatility of returns on stocks is 17.0%, in any one year it is likely that two-thirds of the projected returns will be between (8.9)% and 28.0%. With intermediate government bonds, if the expected compound return is assumed to be 5.0% and the volatility is assumed to be 6.0%, two-thirds of the outcomes will typically be between (1.1)% and 11.5%. Bernstein’s forecast of volatility is based on historical data and incorporates Bernstein’s judgment that the volatility of fixed income assets is different for different time periods.
6. Technical Assumptions
Bernstein’s Wealth Forecasting System is based on a number of technical assumptions regarding the future behavior of financial markets. Bernstein’s Capital Markets Engine is the module responsible for creating simulations of returns in the capital markets. These simulations are based on inputs that summarize the current condition of the capital markets as of December 31, 2009. Therefore, the first 12-month period of simulated returns represents the period from December 31, 2009, through December 31, 2010, and not necessarily the calendar year of 2009. A description of these technical assumptions is available on request.

7. Tax Implications
Before making any asset allocation decisions, an investor should review with his/her tax advisor the tax liabilities incurred by the different investment alternatives presented herein, including any capital gains that would be incurred as a result of liquidating all or part of his/her portfolio, retirement-plan distributions, investments in municipal or taxable bonds, etc. Bernstein does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. In considering this material, you should discuss your individual circumstances with professionals in those areas before making any decisions.
8. Tax Rates
Bernstein’s Wealth Forecasting Analysis has used the following tax rates for this analysis:
Notes on Wealth Forecasting System
Federal Income Federal Capital State Income State Capital Taxpayer Scenario Start Year End Year Tax Rate Gains Tax Rate Tax Rate Gains Tax Rate Tax Method Type
Sample Current 2010 2010 35.00% 15.00% 6.00% 6.00% User Defined Sample Current 2011 2012 39.60% 20.00% 6.00% 6.00% User Defined Sample Current 2013 2039 43.40% 23.80% 6.00% 6.00% User Defined
The federal income tax rate represents Bernstein's estimate of either the top marginal tax bracket or an "average" rate calculated based upon the marginal rate schedule. The federal capital gains tax rate is represented by the lesser of the top marginal income tax bracket or the current cap on capital gains for an individual or corporation, as applicable. Federal tax rates are blended with applicable state tax rates by including, among other things, federal deductions for state income and capital gains taxes. The state tax rate generally represents Bernstein's estimate of the top marginal rate, if applicable.

The Bernstein Wealth Forecasting SystemSM (WFS) is designed to assist investors in making a range of key decisions, including setting their long-term allocation of financial assets. The WFS consists of a four-step process: (1) Client Profile Input: the client’s current assets, income, expenses, cash withdrawals, tax rate, risk tolerance, goals, and other factors; (2) Client Scenarios: in effect, questions the client would like our guidance on, which may touch on issues such as which vehicles are best for intergenerational and philanthropic giving, what his/her cash-flow stream is likely to be, whether his/her portfolio can beat inflation long term, when to retire, and how different asset allocations might impact his/her long-term security; (3) The Capital Markets Engine: our proprietary model that uses our research and historical data to create a vast range of market returns, taking into account the linkages within and among the capital markets (based on indexes, not Bernstein portfolios), as well as their unpredictability; and (4) A Probability Distribution of Outcomes: based on the assets invested pursuant to the stated asset allocation, 90% of the estimated returns and asset values the client could expect to experience, represented within a range established by the 5th and 95th percentiles of probability. However, outcomes outside this range are expected to occur 10% of the time; thus, the range does not establish the boundaries for all outcomes. Further, we often focus on the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles to represent the upside, median, and downside cases. Asset-class projections used in this presentation reflect initial market conditions as of March 31, 2012. They include the following median forecasts of 40-year compound rates of return: US diversified stocks (represented by the S&P 500 Index), 8.7%; US value stocks (represented by the S&P/Barra Value Index), 9.0%; US growth stocks (represented by the S&P/Barra Growth Index), 8.5%; US SMID stocks (represented by the Russell 2500 Index), 8.8%; developed international stocks (represented by the Morgan Stanley Capital International [MSCI] EAFE Index of major markets in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East, with countries weighted by market capitalization and currency positions unhedged), 9.3%; emerging markets stocks (represented by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index), 7.6%; municipal bonds (represented by AA-rated diversified municipal bonds with seven-year maturities), 4.5%; and inflation (represented by the Consumer Price Index), 3.4%. Expected total returns on bonds are derived taking into account yield and other criteria. Globally diversified equity portfolios comprise an annually rebalanced mix of 21% US diversified stocks, 21% US value stocks, 21% US growth stocks, 7% US SMID stocks, 22.5% developed international stocks, and 7.5% emerging markets stocks. An important assumption is that stocks will, over time, outperform long-term bonds by a reasonable amount, although this is by no means a certainty. Moreover, actual future results may not be consonant with Bernstein’s estimates of the range of market returns, as these returns are subject to a variety of economic, market, and other variables. Accordingly, this analysis should not be construed as a promise of actual future results, the actual range of future results, or the actual probability that these results will be realized.

Observations on Due Diligence and Deal Terms Sellers should always know more than the Buyer about their own accounting….but
they don’t 2009 performance…or 2010 depending on the industry…provides a measure of
management skills to navigate adverse market conditions
Credit standards and underwriting are tougher even though debt multiples are up and interest rates are down (Minsky’s Hedge Lending)
Seller debt is still a major source of subordinated debt. The yield is hard to beat. The Risk?

Commercial Real Estate • A recent survey of the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA), covering
some $2.4 trillion in assets under management, finds that real estate holdings represent about ten percent (10%) of the total assets of the surveyed fiduciary managers.
• State pension systems shifted 10% of their assets from public equities to
alternatives (32% being commercial real estate)over the five years ending June 30, 2011, keeping other asset class weights largely unchanged.
• The median returns for real estate (7.3%) year are very attractive 10 year
outcomes, particularly compared to U.S. stocks and bonds.
• Institutional investors will increase their allocations to real estate and infrastructure from 5-10% to 25% within the next decade, according to a new report from JP Morgan Asset Management.
• Recent changes in asset allocations have largely involved tactical shifts
between bonds and equities, according to the report. But uncertainty, heightened volatility and slower growth had strengthened a structural tilt towards real assets – including real estate, infrastructure and timberland.

Capital Markets Summary • Interest rates and cap rates are near historical lows • Commercial real estate capital is available but disciplined; there are no
“reckless” sources of capital as in past cycles (yet!) • Overbuilding is not on the horizon due to large equity requirements and
disciplined lending practices • Core assets are in great demand by equity investors and lenders • Opportunistic and distressed assets continue to attract capital in the search
for yield • Low yields on alternative asset classes keep commercial real estate as a
favored asset class as yields have proven to be higher than other classes • Houston is a favored market by lenders and equity investors due to our great
job growth and excellent supply/ demand dynamics • The tepid national economy should keep Houston in a “favored nation” status
for the near term future • These conditions will not last forever. You never see it coming, so get it while
you can!!!

Operating in a Heightened Regulatory Environment
New regulations heighten oversight and compliance standards for banks of all sizes, effectively attempting childproof the industry
Dodd-Frank is 7,224 pages of new regulation that, laid end to end, would be five times the height of the Empire State Building
Managing the new regulation is a significant burden, particularly for America’s median size banks, which have an average only 37 employees
With a smaller base to absorb these rising cost of regulatory compliance, banks will either be forced to partner with larger institutions, focus on expenses, increase costs for customers, or both
Basel III fundamentally changes the way banks calculate their regulatory capital requirements
By increasing the required minimum levels of capital, banks will be forced to limit credit extension to certain asset types or increase interest expense to borrowers unilaterally
Operating in a Heightened Regulatory Environment (cont’d)
Changing the math:
Required capital ratios will face a denominator effect
By increasing the denominator and narrowing the definition of capital, banks will be required to hold more capital in order to maintain required capital ratios, which are being heightened
For example, single family primary residence mortgages will double in weighting, resulting in bank’s hindered desire to originate those loans, which could increase rates on mortgages
Bottom line: less credit for borrowers, more expensive yields
Required Capital Ratios = Risk Weighted Assets (increased)
Bank Capital (narrowed)
Accessing Capital in a More Stringent Credit Environment
Many individuals and corporations have de-levered in addition to using the protracted low interest rate environment to decrease debt service obligations
Banks are attracted to established, conservative operators who maintain significant equity in their companies and/or assets
A chicken and the egg dilemma emerges
Improving Asset Quality
Banks Reduce Loan-Loss Provisions to Five-Year Low Banks set aside $14.2 billion in provisions for loan
losses in the second quarter, a $5 billion (26.2%) decline from second quarter 2011, and is the smallest quarterly total in five years.
Net Charge-Offs Decline Across All Loan Categories Net charge-offs totaled $20.5 billion in the second
quarter, an $8.4 billion (29.1%) reduction from second quarter 2011. This is the eighth consecutive quarter that charge-offs have declined from year-earlier levels and represents the lowest quarterly charge-off total since first quarter 2008.
Noncurrent Loan Balances Continue to Fall Noncurrent loan balances (loans 90 days or more
past due or in nonaccrual status) declined for a ninth consecutive quarter, falling by $12.9 billion (4.2%). Noncurrent levels fell in all major loan categories. The largest declines occurred in real estate.
Source: FDIC
Number of FDIC Insured Institutions Decreasing
More Than a Year Since Last New Charter, Number of Problem Banks Declining During the second quarter, the number of insured
institutions reporting financial results declined from 7,308 to 7,246.
Forty-five institutions were merged into other institutions and 15 institutions failed.
This is the fourth quarter in a row in which no new charters have been added. It has been more than six quarters since the last charter was created other than to absorb a failing bank.
The number of full-time equivalent employees at FDIC-insured institutions increased from 2,102,280 to 2,108,200.
The number of institutions on the FDIC’s “Problem List” fell for a fifth consecutive quarter, from 772 to 732. Total assets of “problem” institutions declined from $291 billion to $282 billion.

Conclusion
HOUSTON TOPS OUR LIST OF AMERICA’S COOLEST CITIES
“The Bayou City may not be the first place you associate with being hip or trendy. But Houston has something many other major cities don’t: jobs.
With the local economy humming through the recession, Houston enjoyed 2.6% job growth last year and nearly
50,000 Americans flocked there in response — particularly young professionals. In fact, the median age of a Houston resident is a youthful 33.
The result? Over the past decade, the dreary corporate cityscape has been quietly transforming. Stylish housing
developments have popped up downtown, restaurants have taken up residence in former factories and art galleries like the Station Museum have been inhabiting warehouses.
Combine that with a strong theater scene, world-class museums and a multicultural, zoning-free mashup of a
streetscape and you have the recipe for the No. 1 spot on Forbes’ list of America’s Coolest Cities To Live!”
