Loans and leases are grouped in the tables presented above into the rating categories that align with our internal risk-rating framework. Management considers the ratings to be current as of September 30, 2012. We use an internal risk-rating system to assess our risk of credit loss for each loan or lease. This risk-rating process incorporates the use of risk-rating tools in conjunction with management judgment. Qualitative and quantitative inputs are captured in a systematic manner, and following a formal review and approval process, an internal credit rating based on our credit scale is assigned.

In assessing the risk rating assigned to each individual loan or lease, among the factors considered are the borrower's debt capacity, collateral coverage, payment history and delinquency experience, financial flexibility and earnings strength, the expected amounts and sources of repayment, the level and nature of contingencies, if any, and the industry and geography in which the borrower operates. These factors are based on an evaluation of historical and current information, and involve subjective assessment and interpretation. Credit counterparties are evaluated and risk-rated on an individual basis at least annually.

As of both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we held an aggregate of approximately $199 million of commercial real estate, or CRE, loans which were modified in troubled debt restructurings. No impairment loss was recognized upon restructuring of the loans, as the discounted cash flows of the modified loans exceeded the carrying amount of the original loans as of the modification date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and all of 2011, no loans were modified in troubled debt restructurings.

No institutional loans or leases were 90 days or more contractually past due as of September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011. Although a portion of the CRE loans was 90 days or more contractually past due as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we do not report them as past-due loans, pursuant to GAAP that governs the accounting for acquired credit-impaired loans.
