⁽²⁾  We recorded a provision for mortgage representation and warranty losses of $33 million in Q4 2013. We recorded a benefit for mortgage representation and warranty losses of $4 million in Q3 2013. We did not record a provision for mortgage representation and warranty losses in Q4 2012. The majority of the provision for representation and warranty losses is generally included net of tax in discontinued operations, with the remaining amount included pre-tax in non-interest income. The mortgage representation and warranty reserve was $1.2 billion as of both December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, and $899 million as of December 31, 2012.

⁽³⁾  Total net revenue was reduced by $185 million in Q4 2013, $154 million in Q3 2013 and $318 million in Q4 2012 for the estimated uncollectible amount of billed finance charges and fees.

⁽⁵⁾  Acquisition-related costs include transaction costs, legal and other professional or consulting fees, restructuring costs, and integration expense.

We use the term "acquired loans" to refer to a limited portion of the credit card loans acquired in the 2012 U.S. card acquisition and the substantial majority of loans acquired in the ING Direct and Chevy Chase Bank acquisitions, which were recorded at fair value at acquisition and subsequently accounted for based on estimated cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the loans (under the accounting standard formerly known as "SOP 03-3"). See "Table 12: Notes to Loan and Business Segment Disclosures (Tables 7 — 11)" for information on the amount of acquired loans for each of the periods presented.
