If no Default Rate is specified in the Pricing Supplement, the Default Rate shall be the Interest Rate on this Note specified in the Pricing Supplement. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or any predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day (as defined on the reverse hereof)) next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement) (each, a “Regular Record Date”); provided, however, that interest payable at Maturity (as defined on the reverse hereof) will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the holder as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and shall instead be payable to the person in whose name this Note (or any predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest (the “Special Record Date”) to be fixed by the Domestic Registrar (as defined below), notice whereof shall be given by the Domestic Registrar to the holder of this Note not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Bank’s notes due from 7 days to 30 years or more from date of issue (the “Notes”). The Notes are issued in accordance with the Amended and Restated Global Agency Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2007 (the “Global Agency Agreement”), among the Bank and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent (the “Domestic Paying Agent”) and as domestic registrar (the “Domestic Registrar”), Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as paying agent (the “London Paying Agent”), issuing agent (the “London Issuing Agent”) and as transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), and Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited, as Irish paying agent (the “Irish Paying Agent” and, together with the Domestic Paying Agent and the London Paying Agent, the “Paying Agents”, and, individually, a “Paying Agent”) and as European Registrar (the “European Registrar” and, together with the Domestic Registrar, the “Registrars” and, each a “Registrar”). The terms Domestic Paying Agent, Domestic Registrar, London Paying Agent, London Issuing Agent, Transfer Agent, Irish Paying Agent and European Registrar shall include any additional or successor agents appointed in such capacities by the Bank.

The Bank shall cause to be kept at the office of the Domestic Registrar designated below a register (the register maintained in such office or any other office or agency of the Domestic Registrar, herein referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Bank shall provide for the registration of Notes issued in registered form and of transfers of such Notes.

The Bank reserves the right to rescind such designation at any time, and to transfer such function to another bank or financial institution.

The transfer of this Note is registrable in the Note Register, upon surrender of the Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the applicable Registrar or any transfer agent maintained for that purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the applicable Registrar (or such transfer agent) duly executed by, the holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Domestic Registrar in the case this Note is issued through DTC or the European Registrar in the case this Note is issued only through Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, by manual signature of an authorized signatory, this Note shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Payments due in respect of this Note shall be made to the bearer of this Note and each payment made will so discharge the Bank’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the entries referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such discharge.]¹⁰

The bearer of this Note shall be the only person entitled to receive payments with respect hereto, and the Bank will be discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the bearer of this Note with respect to each amount so paid.

[[If the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Note is issued in NGN form:] On any payment of interest on this Note, the Bank shall procure that the details of such payment of interest shall be entered in the records of the relevant Clearing System. On any redemption or repayment and cancellation of all or any portion of this Note, the Bank shall procure that details of such redemption or repayment and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered pro rata in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems and, upon any such entry being made, the principal amount of the Notes recorded in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems and represented by this Note shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so redeemed or repaid and cancelled. Payments due in respect of this Note shall be made to the bearer of this Note and each payment made will so discharge the Bank’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the entries referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such discharge.] ¹¹

[[If this Note is issued in CGN form:] On any redemption or repayment and cancellation of all or any portion of this Note, details of such redemption or repayment and cancellation shall be entered by or on behalf of the Bank in Schedule 2 hereto and the relevant space in Schedule 2 hereto recording any such redemption or repayment and cancellation shall be signed by or on behalf of the Bank. Upon any such redemption or repayment and cancellation, the aggregate principal amount of this Note shall be reduced by the principal amount so redeemed or repaid and cancelled. Payments due in respect of this Note shall be made to the bearer of this Note and each payment made will so discharge the Bank’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the entries referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such discharge.]¹²

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, payments with respect to this Note will only be made at the specified office of a Paying Agent in the United States if:

(i) the Bank has appointed Paying Agents with specified offices outside the United States with the reasonable expectation that such Paying Agents would be able to make payment at such specified offices outside the United States of the full amount due with respect to this Note in the manner provided above when due;

(ii) payment of the full amount due with respect to this Note at such specified offices outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions; and

(iii) such payment is then permitted under United States law without involving, in the opinion of the Bank, adverse tax consequences to the Bank.

If this Note is a Fixed Rate Note and the date for payment of any amount with respect to this Note or any coupon appertaining hereto is not a Payment Business Day in a place of presentation, the bearer of this Note or any such coupon shall not be entitled to payment until the next succeeding Payment Business Day in the relevant place and shall not be entitled to further interest or other payment with respect to such delay. For these purposes, unless otherwise specified above “Payment Business Day” means any Business Day which is also a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in the relevant place of presentation.

If this Note is a Floating Rate Note and any interest payment date for this Note (other than an interest payment date at maturity) would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Payment Business Day, then, if the business day convention specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the applicable Pricing Supplement) is:

(a) the “Floating Rate Convention,” such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Payment Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next succeeding calendar month, in which event (1) such interest payment date shall be brought forward to the next preceding Payment Business Day and (2) each subsequent interest payment date shall be the last Payment Business Day in the month which falls the number of months or other period specified as the interest payment period on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the applicable Pricing Supplement) after the preceding applicable interest payment date occurred; or

(b) the “Following Business Day Convention,” such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Payment Business Day; or

(c) the “Modified Following Business Day Convention,” such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Payment Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next succeeding calendar month, in which event such interest payment date shall be brought forward to the next preceding Payment Business Day; or

(d) the “Preceding Business Day Convention,” such interest payment date shall be brought forward to the next preceding Payment Business Day.

If this Note is a Floating Rate Note and this Note matures on a day that is not a Payment Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest will be made on the next succeeding Payment Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the maturity date of this Note.

Any action by the bearer of this Note shall bind all future bearers of this Note and of any Note issued in exchange or substitution hereof or in place hereof, in respect of anything done or permitted by the Bank or by the Paying Agents in pursuance of such action.

Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the London Issuing Agent, by manual signature of an authorized signatory, this Note shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose [[and, if the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Note is intended to be held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility:] effectuated by the entity appointed as Common Safekeeper by the relevant Clearing Systems].¹³

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof, and all applicable United States federal laws and regulations.

If no Default Rate is specified in the Pricing Supplement or Final Terms attached hereto (the “Pricing Supplement”), the Default Rate shall be the Interest Rate on this Note specified in the Pricing Supplement.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Bank’s notes due from 7 days to 30 years or more from date of issue (the “Notes”). The Notes are issued and to be issued in accordance with an Amended and Restated Global Agency Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2007 (the “Global Agency Agreement”), among the Bank and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent (the “Domestic Paying Agent”) and as domestic registrar (the “Domestic Registrar”), Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as paying agent (the “London Paying Agent”), issuing agent (the “London Issuing Agent”) and as transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), and Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited, as Irish paying agent (the “Irish Paying Agent” and, together with the Domestic Paying Agent and the London Paying Agent, the “Paying Agents”, and, individually, a “Paying Agent”) and as European registrar (the “European Registrar” and, together with the Domestic Registrar, the “Registrars” and each, a “Registrar”). The terms Domestic Paying Agent, Domestic Registrar, London Paying Agent, London Issuing Agent, Transfer Agent, Irish Paying Agent and European Registrar shall include any additional or successor agents appointed in such capacities by the Bank.

This Note is to be held by [[if the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Note is intended to be a New Global Note:] a common safe keeper (the “Common Safekeeper”)]²² [[if the applicable Final Terms does not indicate that this Note is intended to be a New Global Note:] a common depositary]²³ for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”), on behalf of account holders which have beneficial interests in this Note credited to their respective securities accounts with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg from time to time.

The interests represented by this Note were originally represented by a temporary global Note in bearer form (a “Temporary Bearer Global Note”) containing, except with respect to rights of exchange, identical terms and provisions to this Note.

This Note may be exchanged, in whole only (free of charge), for definitive Notes in bearer form (“Definitive Notes”) containing, except with respect to rights of exchange, identical terms and provisions to this Note. Subject as aforesaid and to at least 60 days’ written notice expiring at least 30 days after the Exchange Date (as defined in the Temporary Bearer Global Note referred to above) being given to the London Issuing Agent by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, such exchange will be made [upon presentation and surrender of this Note]²⁴ by the bearer hereof on any day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which banks are open for business in London [at the city office of the London Issuing Agent]²⁵. The aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes issued upon an exchange of this Note will be equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note [[if the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Permanent Bearer Global Note is intended to be a New Global Note:] , as evidenced in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems]²⁶ [[if this Permanent Bearer Global Note is issued in CGN form:] , as adjusted in accordance with Schedules 1 and 2 hereto].²⁷

Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Pricing Supplement, the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note are payable in the Specified Currency indicated above (or, if such Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in (x) such other coin or currency of the country that issued such Specified Currency or (y) (if such Specified Currency is the Euro) the successor currency under applicable law, in each case as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of debts).

Subject to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto in the place of payment, payments on this Note will be made by transfer to an account in the Specified Currency (which, in the case of a payment in yen to a non-resident of Japan, shall be a non-resident account) maintained by the payee with, or by a check in the Specified Currency drawn on, a bank (which, in the case of a payment in yen to a non-resident of Japan, shall be an authorized foreign exchange bank) in the Principal Financial Center of the country of the Specified Currency (which, in the case of the Euro, shall be deemed for this purpose to be the capital city of any country whose currency has been replaced by the Euro or any other location designated in the applicable Pricing Supplement); provided, however, that a check may not be delivered to an address in, and an amount may not be transferred to an account at a bank located in, the United States by any office or agency of the Bank or any Paying Agent.

[[If this Note is issued in CGN form:] Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be made in the manner specified above against presentation or surrender, as the case may be, of this Note at the office of the London Paying Agent maintained for that purpose. On any payment of an installment of interest being made, details of such payment shall be entered by or on behalf of the Bank in Schedule 2 hereto and the relevant space in Schedule 2 hereto recording any such payment shall be signed by or on behalf of the Bank. The principal amount of the Notes represented by this Note shall be the amount stated in the applicable Final Terms or, if lower, the principal amount most recently entered by or on behalf of the Bank in the relevant column of Schedule 2 hereto. Payments due in respect of this Note shall be made to the bearer of this Note and each payment made will so discharge the Bank’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the entries referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such discharge.]²⁸

[[If the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Note is issued in NGN form:] The principal amount of Notes represented by this Note shall be the aggregate principal amount from time to time entered in the records of both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (together, the “relevant Clearing Systems”). The records of the relevant Clearing Systems (which expression in this Note means the records that each relevant Clearing System holds for its customers, which reflect the amount of such customer’s beneficial interest in the Notes) shall be conclusive evidence of the principal amount of Notes represented by this Note and, for these purposes, a statement issued by a relevant Clearing System stating the principal amount of Notes represented by this Note at any time shall be conclusive evidence of the records of the relevant Clearing System at that time. Payments due in respect of this Note shall be made to the bearer of this Note and each payment made will so discharge the Bank’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the entries referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such discharge.]²⁹

The bearer of this Note shall be the only person entitled to receive payments with respect hereto, and the Bank will be discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the bearer of this Note with respect to each amount so paid. Each person shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the beneficial owner of a particular principal amount of this Note (an “Owner”) must look solely to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, for its share of each payment so made by the Bank to, or to the order of, the bearer of this Note. No person other than the bearer hereof shall have any claim against the Bank with respect to payments due hereon.

[[If the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Note is issued in NGN form:] On any payment of interest on this Note, the Bank shall procure that the details of such payment of interest shall be entered in the records of the relevant Clearing System. On any redemption or repayment and cancellation of all or any portion of this Note, the Bank shall procure that details of such redemption or repayment and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered pro rata in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems and, upon any such entry being made, the principal amount of the Notes recorded in the records of the relevant Clearing Systems and represented by this Note shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so redeemed or repaid and cancelled. Payments due in respect of this Note shall be made to the bearer of this Note and each payment made will so discharge the Bank’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the entries referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such discharge.]³⁰

[[If this Note is issued in CGN form:] On any redemption or repayment and cancellation of all or any portion of this Note, details of such redemption or repayment and cancellation shall be entered by or on behalf of the Bank in Schedule 1 hereto and the relevant space in Schedule 1 hereto recording any such redemption or repayment and cancellation shall be signed by or on behalf of the Bank. Upon any such redemption or repayment and cancellation, the aggregate principal amount of this Note shall be reduced by the principal so redeemed or repaid and cancelled. Payments due in respect of this Note shall be made to the bearer of this Note and each payment made will so discharge the Bank’s obligations in respect thereof. Any failure to make the entries referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such discharge.]³¹

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, payments with respect to this Note will only be made at the specified office of a Paying Agent in the United States if:

(i) the Bank has appointed Paying Agents with specified offices outside the United States with the reasonable expectation that such Paying Agents would be able to make payment at such specified offices outside the United States of the full amount due with respect to this Note in the manner provided above when due;

(ii) payment of the full amount due with respect to this Note at such specified offices outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions; and

(iii) such payment is then permitted under United States law without involving, in the opinion of the Bank, adverse tax consequences to the Bank.

If this Note is a Fixed Rate Note and the date for payment of any amount with respect to this Note or any coupon appertaining hereto is not a Payment Business Day in a place of presentation, the bearer of this Note or any such coupon shall not be entitled to payment until the next succeeding Payment Business Day in the relevant place and shall not be entitled to further interest or other payment with respect to such delay. For these purposes, unless otherwise specified above, “Payment Business Day” means any Business Day which is also a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in the relevant place of presentation.

If this Note is a Floating Rate Note and any interest payment date for this Note (other than an interest payment date at maturity) would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Payment Business Day, then, if the business day convention specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the applicable Pricing Supplement) is:

(a) the “Floating Rate Convention,” such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Payment Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next succeeding calendar month, in which event (1) such interest payment date shall be brought forward to the next preceding Payment Business Day and (2) each subsequent interest payment date shall be the last Payment Business Day in the month which falls the number of months or other period specified as the interest payment period on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the applicable Pricing Supplement) after the preceding applicable interest payment date occurred; or

(b) the “Following Business Day Convention,” such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Payment Business Day; or

(c) the “Modified Following Business Day Convention,” such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Payment Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next succeeding calendar month, in which event such interest payment date shall be brought forward to the next preceding Payment Business Day; or

(d) the “Preceding Business Day Convention,” such interest payment date shall be brought forward to the next preceding Payment Business Day.

If this Note is a Floating Rate Note and this Note matures on a day that is not a Payment Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest will be made on the next succeeding Payment Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the maturity date of this Note.

Any action by the bearer of this Note shall bind all future bearers of this Note, and of any Note issued in exchange or substitution hereof or in place hereof or in respect of anything done or permitted by the Bank or by the Paying Agents in pursuance of such action.

Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the London Issuing Agent by manual signature of an authorized signatory, this Note shall not be valid or obligatory for any purposes [and, if the applicable Final Terms indicates that this Note is intended to be held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility, effectuated by the entity appointed as Common Safekeeper by the relevant Clearing Systems].³²

SUNTRUST BANK, a bank organized under the laws of the State of Georgia (the “Bank”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the bearer hereof, upon presentation and surrender of this Note, the principal amount specified above on the Maturity Date (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to the Maturity Date) specified above and to pay interest thereon (i) in accordance with the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof under the caption “Fixed Rate Interest Provisions,” if this Note is designated as a “Fixed Rate Note” above, or (ii) in accordance with the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof under the caption “Floating Rate Interest Provisions,” if this Note is designated as a “Floating Rate Note” above, but only, in the case of interest (other than Additional Amounts (as defined on the reverse hereof) payable as provided herein) due on or before Maturity (as defined on the reverse hereof), upon presentation and surrender of the interest coupons attached hereto as they severally mature. The Bank shall also (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) pay interest at the Default Rate per annum specified above on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and on any overdue installment of interest. If no Default Rate is specified in the Pricing Supplement or Final Terms (the “Pricing Supplement”), the Default Rate shall be the Interest Rate on this Note specified in the Pricing Supplement. Interest so payable on overdue interest shall be paid to the bearer of the interest coupon representing such overdue interest. In the event that the principal of this Note shall become due and payable prior to the Maturity Date specified above and money therefor shall have been paid or made available for payment, all unmatured interest coupons (whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment shall be made in respect thereof.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Bank’s notes due from 7 days to 30 years or more from date of issue (the “Notes”). The Notes are issued and to be issued in accordance with an Amended and Restated Global Agency Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2007 (the “Global Agency Agreement”), among the Bank and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent (the “Domestic Paying Agent”) and as domestic registrar (the “Domestic Registrar”), Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as paying agent (the “London Paying Agent”), issuing agent (the “London Issuing Agent”) and as transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), and Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited, as Irish paying agent (the “Irish Paying Agent” and, together with the Domestic Paying Agent and the London Paying Agent, the “Paying Agents”, and, individually, a “Paying Agent”) and as European registrar (the “European Registrar” and, together with the Domestic Registrar, the “Registrars” and each, a “Registrar”). The terms Domestic Paying Agent, Domestic Registrar, London Paying Agent, London Issuing Agent, Transfer Agent, Irish Paying Agent and European Registrar shall include any additional or successor agents appointed in such capacities by the Bank.

Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Pricing Supplement, the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note are payable in the Specified Currency indicated above (or, if such Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in (x) such other coin or currency of the country that issued such Specified Currency or (y) (if such Specified Currency is the Euro) the successor currency under applicable law, in each case as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of debts).

Subject to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto in the place of payment, payments on this Note will be made by transfer to an account in the Specified Currency (which, in the case of a payment in yen to a non-resident of Japan, shall be a non-resident account) maintained by the payee with, or by a check in the Specified Currency drawn on, a bank (which, in the case of a payment in yen to a non-resident of Japan, shall be an authorized foreign exchange bank) in the Principal Financial Center of the country of the Specified Currency (which, in the case of the Euro, shall be deemed for this purpose to be the capital city of any country whose currency has been replaced by the Euro or any other location designated in the applicable Pricing Supplement); provided, however, that a check may not be delivered to an address in, and an amount may not be transferred to an account at a bank located in, the United States by any office or agency of the Bank or any Paying Agent.

Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be made in the manner specified above against presentation or surrender of this Note or coupons, as the case may be, at the office of the London Paying Agent maintained for that purpose, or at the office or agency of any other Paying Agent located outside the United States.

The bearer of this Note shall be the only person entitled to receive payments with respect hereto, and the Bank will be discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the bearer of this Note with respect to each amount so paid. No person other than the bearer hereof shall have any claim against the Bank with respect to payments due hereon.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, payments with respect to this Note will only be made at the specified office of a Paying Agent in the United States if:

(i) the Bank has appointed Paying Agents with specified offices outside the United States with the reasonable expectation that such Paying Agents would be able to make payment at such specified offices outside the United States of the full amount due with respect to this Note in the manner provided above when due;

(ii) payment of the full amount due with respect to this Note at such specified offices outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions; and

(iii) such payment is then permitted under United States law without involving, in the opinion of the Bank, adverse tax consequences to the Bank.

If this Note is a Fixed Rate Note and the date for payment of any amount with respect to this Note or any coupon pertaining hereto is not a Payment Business Day in the place of presentation, the bearer of this Note or any such coupon shall not be entitled to payment until the next succeeding Payment Business Day in the relevant place and shall not be entitled to further interest or other payment with respect to such delay. For these purposes, unless otherwise specified herein, “Payment Business Day” means any Business Day which is also a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in the relevant place of presentation.

If this Note is a Floating Rate Note and any interest payment date for this Note (other than an interest payment date at maturity) would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Payment Business Day, then, if the business day convention specified on the face hereof is:

(a) the “Floating Rate Convention,” such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Payment Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next succeeding calendar month, in which event (1) such interest payment date shall be brought forward to the next preceding Payment Business Day and (2) each subsequent interest payment date shall be the last Payment Business Day in the month which falls the number of months or other period specified as the interest payment period on the face hereof after the preceding applicable interest payment date occurred; or

(b) the “Following Business Day Convention,” such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Payment Business Day; or

(c) the “Modified Following Business Day Convention,” such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Payment Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next succeeding calendar month, in which event such interest payment date shall be brought forward to the next preceding Payment Business Day; or

(d) the “Preceding Business Day Convention,” such interest payment date shall be brought forward to the next preceding Payment Business Day.

If this Note is a Floating Rate Note and this Note matures on a day that is not a Payment Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest will be made on the next succeeding Payment Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the maturity date of this Note.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest due upon redemption or repayment of this Note as provided herein shall be paid upon presentation and surrender of this Note, together with all appurtenant interest coupons, if any, maturing subsequent to the date of redemption or repayment, as the case may be, to any Paying Agent located outside the United States. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if this Note shall be surrendered for redemption or repayment without all appurtenant interest coupons maturing after the date of redemption or repayment, as the case may be, this Note shall be paid after deducting from the amount otherwise payable on such date an amount equal to the face amount of all missing interest coupons. If, thereafter, the bearer of this Note shall surrender to any Paying Agent located outside the United States any such missing interest coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the redemption or repayment price, such bearer shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted.

Title to this Note shall pass by delivery. The Bank may treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner of this Note for all purposes (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or writing hereof or notice of any previous loss or theft thereof).

Any action by the bearer of this Note shall bind all future bearers of this Note, and of any Note issued in exchange or substitution hereof or in place hereof, in respect of anything done or permitted by the Bank or by the Paying Agents in pursuance of such action.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the European Registrar, by manual signature of an authorized signatory, this Note shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof, and all applicable United States federal laws and regulations.

EXHIBIT I

[FORM OF]

AMENDED AND RESTATED INTEREST CALCULATION AGENCY AGREEMENT, dated as of November 20, 2007, between SUNTRUST BANK (the “Bank”) and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as calculation agent.

WHEREAS:

A. The Bank has established the Global Bank Note Program described in the Offering Circular, dated November 20, 2007 (as such document may hereafter be amended or supplemented by the Bank, including the material incorporated therein by reference, the “Offering Circular”), which will be supplemented by one or more pricing supplements or final terms (each a “Supplement”) setting forth additional terms and conditions of Bank Notes, pursuant to which the Bank may from time to time issue up to US$40,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies) aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding of its Bank Notes (the “Notes”);

B. In connection with the establishment of the Global Bank Note Program, the Bank has entered into an Amended and Restated Global Agency Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2007 (the “Global Agency Agreement”), among the Bank, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Domestic Paying Agent and Domestic Registrar, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as London Paying Agent, London Issuing Agent and Transfer Agent, and Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited, as Irish Paying Agent and European Registrar. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Global Agency Agreement;

C. The Notes may be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies or currency units and may bear interest at a fixed rate, a floating rate (including rates determined by reference to certain other rates or formulas), all as set forth on the face of the particular Note; and

D. The Notes and any Supplement will set forth the duties and obligations of an agent of the Bank to calculate from time to time any variable interest rates or other bases for determining the payment of interest, premium or principal with respect to Notes on which interest is to accrue at a variable or floating rate (“Floating Rate Notes”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

52

SECTION 1. Appointment of Calculation Agent.

The Bank hereby appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as calculation agent (in such capacity, the “Calculation Agent”) of the Bank for the purpose of calculating the interest rates on any Floating Rate Notes to be issued by the Bank, in the manner and at the times provided in the Global Agency Agreement, the Floating Rate Notes and any Supplement, and the Calculation Agent hereby accepts its obligations as set forth in this Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Amended and Restated Interest Calculation Agency Agreement, dated November 21, 2006, among the Bank and the Calculation Agent (the “Existing Calculation Agency Agreement”) shall be amended and restated as set forth in this Agreement. Any duties performed by the Calculation Agent with respect to Notes issued on or after the date of this Agreement shall be so performed pursuant to this Agreement. Any Notes of the Bank issued prior to the date of this Agreement and subject to the Existing Calculation Agency Agreement, or any other calculation agency agreement shall, in each case, continue to be governed by the calculation agency agreement to which they are subject.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Bank may appoint a different interest calculation agent in connection with any Series of Floating Rate Notes.

SECTION 2. Calculation of Interest Rates.

(a) As soon as reasonably practical on or after each interest determination date for any Floating Rate Note, the Calculation Agent shall exercise due care to determine the applicable interest rates and notify the Bank and the Paying Agents of such interest rate. All interest rate determinations made by the Calculation Agent with respect to the Floating Rate Notes shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding upon the Bank and the holders from time to time of Floating Rate Notes. The Bank will give the Calculation Agent at least three business days’ notice of each interest determination date. The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the holder of any Floating Rate Note, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to such Floating Rate Note and, if determined, the interest rate with respect to such Floating Rate Note which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date. The Calculation Agent will notify the Bank and any Stock Exchange on which the relevant Floating Rate Notes are for the time being listed of such interest rate, the relevant Interest Payment Date, the amount of interest payable for a specific denomination and the Interest Period, if applicable, and, if and so long as the rules of such Stock Exchange require, will cause the same to be published as soon as practicable after their determination but in no event later than the fourth London Business Day thereafter. If any Floating Rate Notes are listed on a Stock Exchange, the Calculation Agent will provide the notification referred to in the previous sentence to such Stock Exchange prior to the first day of the relevant Interest Period.

(b) The Calculation Agent and the Bank agree to comply with the Procedures Memorandum. No amendment to the provisions of the Procedures Memorandum relating to the duties or obligations of the Calculation Agent hereunder may become effective without the prior written consent of the Calculation Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 3. New Base Rates.

If the Bank proposes to issue Floating Rate Notes whose interest rate will be determined on a basis or formula not referred to in the Offering Circular (a “New Base Rate”), the Bank shall give a description of such New Base Rate to the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent shall determine if it is able and willing to calculate the New Base Rate and upon its agreement in writing to do so, the Calculation Agent shall calculate interest rates as referred to above including the New Base Rate. If the Calculation Agent notifies the Bank that it is not able or willing to calculate the New Base Rate, or that it is only willing to do so on the basis of an increase of its fees not acceptable to the Bank, the Calculation Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to such New Base Rate and the Bank shall appoint a different calculation agent to determine the New Base Rate.

SECTION 4. Fees and Expenses.

The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to such compensation for its services under this Agreement as may be agreed upon with the Bank in writing, and the Bank shall pay such compensation and shall reimburse the Calculation Agent for all reasonable expenses (including legal fees and expenses), disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Calculation Agent in connection with the services rendered by it under this Agreement, except any expenses, disbursements or advances attributable to its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

SECTION 5. Rights and Liabilities of Calculation Agent.

The Calculation Agent shall incur no liability for, or in respect of, any action taken, omitted to be taken or suffered by it in reliance upon any Floating Rate Note, certificate, affidavit, instruction, notice, request, direction, order, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine. Any certificate, affidavit, instruction, notice, request, direction, order, statement or other communication from the Bank made or given by it and sent, delivered or directed to the Calculation Agent under, pursuant to or as permitted by any provision of this Agreement shall be sufficient for purposes of this Agreement if such communication is in writing and signed by any officer of the Bank. The Calculation Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it and the opinion or advice of such counsel shall constitute full and complete authorization and protection of the Calculation Agent with respect to any action taken, omitted to be taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with and in reliance upon the opinion of such counsel. In acting under this Agreement, the Calculation Agent (in its capacity as such) does not assume any obligation towards, or any relationship of agency or trust for or with, the holders of the Notes.

SECTION 6. Right of Calculation Agent to Own Floating Rate Notes.

The Calculation Agent and its officers, employees and shareholders may become owners of, or acquire any interests in, Floating Rate Notes, with the same rights as if the Calculation Agent were not the Calculation Agent, and may engage in, or have an interest in, any financial or other transaction with the Bank as if the Calculation Agent were not the Calculation Agent.

SECTION 7. Duties of Calculation Agent.

The Calculation Agent shall be obligated only to perform such duties as are specifically set forth herein and no other duties or obligations on the part of the Calculation Agent, in its capacity as such, shall be implied by this Agreement.

SECTION 8. Termination, Resignation or Removal of Calculation Agent.

The Calculation Agent may at any time terminate this Agreement by giving no less than 60 days’ written notice to the Bank unless the Bank consents in writing to a shorter time. Upon receipt of notice of termination by the Calculation Agent, the Bank agrees promptly to appoint a successor calculation agent. The Bank may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written notice to the Calculation Agent and specifying the date when the termination shall become effective; provided, however, that no termination by the Calculation Agent or by the Bank shall become effective prior to the date of the appointment by the Bank, as provided in Section 9 hereof, of a successor calculation agent and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor calculation agent. Upon termination by either party pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the payment of any compensation owed to it by the Bank hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Calculation Agent in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder, as provided by Section 4 hereof, and the provisions of Section 10 shall remain in effect following such termination.

SECTION 9. Appointment of Successor Calculation Agent.

Any successor calculation agent appointed by the Bank following termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 hereof shall execute and deliver to the Calculation Agent and to the Bank an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon such successor calculation agent shall, without any further act or instrument, become vested with all the rights, immunities, duties and obligations of the Calculation Agent, with like effect as if originally named as Calculation Agent hereunder, and the Calculation Agent shall thereupon be obligated to transfer and deliver, and such successor calculation agent shall be entitled to receive and accept, copies of any available records maintained by the Calculation Agent in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10. Indemnification.

The Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the Calculation Agent, its officers, directors, agents and employees from and against all actions, claims, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) relating to or arising out of actions or omissions in any capacity hereunder or under the Notes, the Global Agency Agreement, the Offering Circular or any Supplement, except actions, claims, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses caused by the gross negligence, or willful misconduct or bad faith of the Calculation Agent, its officers or employees. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Global Agency Agreement, the final payment of the Floating Rate Notes, and the resignation or removal of the Calculation Agent.

Any corporation into which the Calculation Agent may be merged, converted, or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Calculation Agent may be a party, or any corporation to which the Calculation Agent may sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the Calculation Agent under this Agreement without the execution of any paper or any further act by the parties hereto.

[FORM OF]

AMENDED AND RESTATED EXCHANGE RATE AGENCY AGREEMENT, dated as of November 20, 2007, between SUNTRUST BANK (the “Bank”) and DEUTSCHE BANK AG, LONDON BRANCH.

WHEREAS:

A. The Bank has established the Global Bank Note Program described in the Offering Circular, dated the date hereof (as such document may hereafter be amended or supplemented by the Bank, including the material incorporated therein by reference, the “Offering Circular”), which will be supplemented by one or more pricing supplements or final terms (each a “Supplement”) setting forth additional terms and conditions of Bank Notes, pursuant to which the Bank may from time to time issue up to US$40,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies) aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding of its Bank Notes (the “Notes”);

B. In connection with the establishment of the Global Bank Note Program, the Bank has entered into an Amended and Restated Global Agency Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2007 (the “Global Agency Agreement”), among the Bank, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Domestic Paying agent and Domestic Registrar, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as London Paying Agent, London Issuing Agent and Transfer Agent, and Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited, as Irish Paying Agent and European Registrar. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Global Agency Agreement;

C. The Notes may be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies or currency units (“Specified Foreign Currency”) and may bear interest at a fixed rate, a floating rate or by reference to certain other rates, all as set forth in the particular Note; and

D. The Notes and any Supplement will set forth the duties and obligations of an agent of the Bank to obtain from time to time exchange rates for Specified Foreign Currencies in which certain Notes are denominated (each such Note a “Foreign Currency Note”) and, upon request, to execute foreign exchange spot transactions for such Specified Foreign Currencies.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Appointment of Exchange Rate Agent.

The Bank hereby appoints Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as its agent (in such capacity, the “Exchange Rate Agent”), and the Exchange Rate Agent hereby accepts such appointment, as the Bank’s agent for the purposes of obtaining from time to time exchange rates and executing foreign exchange spot transactions for Specified Foreign Currencies upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided hereinafter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Bank may appoint a different exchange rate agent in connection with any Series of Notes.

SECTION 2. Determination of Exchange Rate.

(a) The Exchange Rate Agent shall determine such exchange rates of currencies as may be required from time to time in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Global Agency Agreement, the Notes and any Supplement.

(b) If the Exchange Rate Agent is not quoting rates in the Specified Foreign Currency, the Exchange Rate Agent shall promptly notify the Bank and the Paying Agent.

SECTION 3. Fees and Expenses.

The Exchange Rate Agent shall be entitled to such compensation for its services under this Agreement as shall be agreed upon with the Bank in writing, and the Bank shall pay such compensation and shall reimburse the Exchange Rate Agent for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in connection with the services rendered by it under this Agreement (including legal fees and expenses) except any expenses, disbursements or advances attributable to its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

SECTION 4. Rights and Liabilities of Exchange Rate Agent.

The Exchange Rate Agent shall incur no liability for, or in respect of, any action taken, omitted to be taken or suffered by it in reliance upon any Note, certificate, affidavit, instruction, notice, request, direction, order, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine. Any order, certificate, affidavit, instruction, notice, request, direction, statement or other communication from the Bank made or given by it and sent, delivered or directed to the Exchange Rate Agent under, pursuant to, or as permitted by, any provision of this Agreement shall be sufficient for purposes of this Agreement if such communication is in writing and signed by any officer or attorney-in-fact of the Bank. The Exchange Rate Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it and the advice of such counsel shall constitute full and complete authorization and protection of the Exchange Rate Agent with respect to any action taken, omitted to be taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with and in reliance upon the advice of such counsel.

SECTION 5. Right of Exchange Rate Agent to Own Notes, etc.

The Exchange Rate Agent may act as an Agent under the Global Agency Agreement and it, its officers, employees and shareholders, may become owners of, or acquire any interests in, Notes, with the same rights as if the Exchange Rate Agent were not the Exchange Rate Agent hereunder. The Exchange Rate Agent may engage in, or have an interest in, any financial or other transaction with the Bank or any of its affiliates (including, without limitation, foreign exchange transactions of any type or nature and in any currency, whether a spot transaction, forward transaction, option, future, option on a future or otherwise) as if the Exchange Rate Agent were not the Exchange Rate Agent hereunder.

SECTION 6. Duties of Exchange Rate Agent.

In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the Notes, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be obligated only to perform such duties as are specifically set forth herein and no other duties or obligations on the part of the Exchange Rate Agent shall be implied by this Agreement. In acting under this Agreement, the Exchange Rate Agent assumes no obligation towards, or any relationship of agency or trust for or with, the holders of the Notes.

SECTION 7. Termination, Resignation or Removal of Exchange Rate Agent.

The Exchange Rate Agent may at any time terminate this Agreement by giving no less than 60 days’ written notice to the Bank, unless the Bank consents in writing to a shorter time. Upon receipt of notice of termination by the Exchange Rate Agent, the Bank agrees promptly to appoint a successor exchange rate agent. The Bank may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written notice to the Exchange Rate Agent and specifying the date when the termination shall become effective; provided, however, that no termination by the Exchange Rate Agent or by the Bank shall become effective prior to the date of the appointment by the Bank, as provided in Section 8 below, of a successor exchange rate agent and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor exchange rate agent. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor exchange rate agent shall not have been delivered to the resigning or terminated Exchange Rate Agent within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Exchange Rate Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor exchange rate agent. Upon termination by either party pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be entitled to the payment of any compensation owed to it by the Bank hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder. The provisions of this Section 7 and Section 9 shall remain in effect following such termination.

SECTION 8. Appointment of Successor Exchange Rate Agent.

Any successor exchange rate agent appointed by the Bank or by a court following termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing Section 7 shall execute and deliver to the Exchange Rate Agent and to the Bank an instrument accepting such appointment and thereupon such successor exchange rate agent shall, without any further act or instrument, become vested with all the rights, immunities, duties and obligations of the Exchange Rate Agent, with like effect as if originally named as the Exchange Rate Agent hereunder, and the Exchange Rate Agent shall thereupon be obligated to transfer and deliver, and such successor exchange rate agent shall be entitled to receive and accept, copies of any available records maintained by the Exchange Rate Agent in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 9. Indemnification.

The Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the Exchange Rate Agent, its officers, directors, agents and employees from and against all actions, claims, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) relating to or arising out of actions or omissions in any capacity hereunder or under the Notes, the Global Agency Agreement, the Offering Circular or any Supplement, except actions, claims, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Exchange Rate Agent, its officers or employees. This Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all obligations under the Notes, whether by redemption, repayment or otherwise.

SECTION 10. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Business by Exchange Rate Agent.

Any corporation into which the Exchange Rate Agent may be merged, converted or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Exchange Rate Agent may be a party, or any corporation to which the Exchange Rate Agent may sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the Exchange Rate Agent under this Agreement without the execution of any document or any further act by the parties hereto.

FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE

[Reverse of Note]

Unless otherwise provided herein (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the Notes are issuable only in minimum denominations of US$100,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof (or equivalent denominations in other currencies, subject to any other statutory or regulatory minimums). Notwithstanding the above, if this Note is or has been offered to persons within the European Economic Area, it is issuable, and each owner of a beneficial interest in this Note is required to hold such beneficial interest, only in minimum denominations of the greater of US$100,000 or €50,000, or the equivalent thereof in other currencies. This Note, and any Note issued in exchange or substitution herefor or in place hereof, or upon registration of transfer, exchange or partial redemption or repayment of this Note, may be issued only in an Authorized Denomination specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in definitive form, specified on the face hereof).

Unless otherwise provided herein (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note are payable in the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof (or, if such Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in (x) such other coin or currency of the country that issued such Specified Currency or (y) (if such Specified Currency is the Euro) the successor currency under applicable law, in each case as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of debts). If this Note is a DTC Global Note and the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof is other than U.S. dollars, any such amounts paid by the Bank will be converted by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as Exchange Rate Agent, or such other agent as may be specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in definitive form, specified on the face hereof), which for these purposes shall act as currency exchange agent (the “Exchange Rate Agent”), into U.S. dollars for payment to the holder of this Note.

If this Note is a DTC Global Note and the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof is other than the U.S. dollar, any U.S. dollar amount to be received by the holder of this Note will be based on the Exchange Rate Agent’s bid quotation as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the second day on which banks are open for business in London and New York City preceding the applicable payment date, for the purchase of U.S. dollars with the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date of the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all holders of Notes denominated other than in the U.S. dollar scheduled to receive U.S. dollar payments. If such bid quotation is not available, the Exchange Rate Agent will obtain a bid quotation from a leading foreign exchange bank in London or New York City selected by the Exchange Rate Agent for such purchase. If no such bids are available, payment of the aggregate amount due to the holder of this Note on the payment date will be made in the Specified Currency, subject to the other provisions of this Note relating to payment in such Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding upon the holder of this Note.

If this Note is a DTC Global Note and the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof is other than the U.S. dollar, the holder of this Note may elect to receive payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note in the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof by submitting a written notice to the Paying Agents prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day following the applicable Record Date in the case of interest and the tenth calendar day prior to the payment date for the payment of principal. Such notice, which may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by cable, telex or facsimile transmission, shall contain (i) the holder’s election to receive all or a portion of such payment in the Specified Currency on the relevant Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be, and (ii) wire transfer instructions to an account denominated in the Specified Currency with respect to any payment to be made in the Specified Currency. Any such election made with respect to this Note by the holder will remain in effect with respect to any further payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on this Note payable to the holder of this Note unless such election is revoked on or prior to the fifth Business Day following the applicable Record Date in the case of interest and the tenth calendar day prior to the payment date for the payment of principal.

If (i) this Note is a DTC Global Note and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a portion of a payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on this Note in the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof, or (ii) if this Note is not a DTC Global Note, in the case of (i) or (ii) in the event the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof has been replaced by another currency (a “Replacement Currency”), any amount due pursuant to this Note may be repaid, at the option of the Bank, in the Replacement Currency or in U.S. dollars, at a rate of exchange which takes into account the conversion, at the rate prevailing on the most recent date on which official conversion rates were quoted or set by the national government or other authority responsible for issuing the Replacement Currency, from the Specified Currency to the Replacement Currency and, if necessary, the conversion of the Replacement Currency into U.S. dollars at the rate prevailing on the date of such conversion.

If the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof is other than the U.S. dollar and (i) this Note is a DTC Global Note and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a portion of a payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on this Note in the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof, or (ii) if this Note is not a DTC Global Note, in the case of (i) or (ii) if such Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Bank, the Bank will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on this Note in U.S. dollars until, in the sole discretion of the Bank, the Specified Currency is again available. In such circumstances, the U.S. dollar amount to be received by the holder of this Note will be made on the basis of the most recently available bid quotation from a leading foreign exchange bank in London or New York City selected by the Exchange Rate Agent, for the purchase of U.S. dollars with the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date of the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all holders of Notes denominated other than in the U.S. dollar scheduled to receive U.S. dollar payments. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars, where the payment is required to be made in the Specified Currency, will not constitute an “Event of Default” with respect to this Note.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall initially act as domestic paying agent (the “Domestic Paying Agent”) and the Bank has initially appointed Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as London paying agent (the “London Paying Agent”) and Deutsche International Corporate Services (Ireland) Limited, as Irish paying agent (the “Irish Paying Agent” and, together with the Domestic Paying Agent and the London Paying Agent, the “Paying Agents,” and each individually, a “Paying Agent,” and such terms shall include any additional or successor paying agents appointed pursuant to the Global Agency Agreement (as defined on the face hereof)) in respect of the Notes. If this Note is in registered form, this Note may be presented or surrendered for payment, and notices, designations or requests in respect of payments with respect to this Note may be served, at the office or agency of any Paying Agent maintained for that purpose. The Bank may at any time rescind any designation of a Paying Agent, appoint any additional or successor Paying Agents or approve a change in the office through which a Paying Agent acts.

Subject to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto in the place of payment, payments on registered Notes to be made in a Specified Currency other than the U.S. dollar and payments on bearer Notes will be made by a check in the Specified Currency drawn on or by wire transfer to an account in the Specified Currency (which, in the case of a payment in Yen to a non-resident of Japan, shall be a non-resident account) maintained by the payee with a bank (which, in the case of a payment in Yen to a non-resident of Japan, shall be an authorized foreign exchange bank) in the Principal Financial Center of the country of the Specified Currency (which, in the case of the Euro, shall be deemed for this purpose to be the capital city of any country whose currency has been replaced by the Euro or any other location designated in the applicable Pricing Supplement), provided, however, that a check may not be delivered to an address in, and an amount may not be transferred to an account located in, the United States of America or its possessions by any office or agency of the Bank or any Paying Agent.

Fixed Rate Interest Provisions

If this Note is designated as a “Fixed Rate Note” on the face hereof, the Bank will pay interest on each Interest Payment Date specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in definitive form, specified on the face hereof) and on the Maturity Date or any Redemption Date (as defined below) or Holder’s Optional Repayment Date (as defined below) (each such Maturity Date, Redemption Date and Holder’s Optional Repayment Date and the date on which the principal or an installment of principal is due and payable by declaration of acceleration as provided herein being hereinafter referred to as a “Maturity” with respect to the principal repayable on such date), commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified on the face hereof (or if the Original Issue Date is between a Record Date and the Interest Payment Date immediately following such Record Date, on the Second Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date), at the Interest Rate per annum specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in definitive form, specified on the face hereof), until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment.

Payments of interest hereon will include interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on this Note (or any predecessor Note) has been paid or duly provided for (or, unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in definitive form, on the face hereof) if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Original Issue Date) to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in definitive form, on the face hereof), if the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof falls more than one year from the Original Issue Date, interest payments for this Note if it is denominated in U.S. dollars shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in definitive form, on the face hereof) if the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof falls one year or less from the Original Issue Date, interest payments for this Note if it is denominated in U.S. dollars shall be computed and paid on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360.

Unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in definitive form, on the face hereof), interest on Fixed Rate Notes denominated other than in U.S. dollars, shall be computed on the basis of the “Actual/Actual (ICMA)” Fixed Day Count Convention.

“Actual/Actual (ICMA)” Fixed Day Count Convention means:

(a) in the case of Fixed Rate Notes where the number of days in the relevant period from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date (or, if none, from and including the Interest Commencement Date, which unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in definitive form, on the face hereof) shall be the Original Issue Date) to but excluding the relevant payment date (the “Accrual Period”) is equal to or shorter than the Determination Period (as defined below) during which the Accrual Period ends, the number of days in such Accrual Period divided by the product of (1) the number of days in such Determination Period and (2) the number of Determination Periods that would occur in one calendar year, assuming interest was to be payable in respect of the whole of that year; or

(b) in the case of Fixed Rate Notes where the Accrual Period is longer than the Determination Period during which the Accrual Period ends, the sum of:

(1) the number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the Determination Period in which the Accrual Period begins divided by the product of (x) the number of days in such Determination Period and (y) the number of Determination Periods that would occur in one calendar year, assuming interest was to be payable in respect of the whole of that year; and

(2) the number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the next Determination Period divided by the product of (x) the number of days in such Determination Period and (y) the number of Determination Periods that would occur in one calendar year, assuming interest was to be payable in respect of the whole of that year.

“Determination Period” means the period from and including a Determination Date to but excluding the next Determination Date (including, where either the Interest Commencement Date or the final Interest Payment Date is not a Determination Date, the period commencing on the first Determination Date prior to, and ending on the first Determination Date falling after, such date).

“Determination Date” means each date specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in definitive form, on the face hereof) or, if none is specified, each Interest Payment Date.

Unless otherwise provided herein, if any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity of this Note falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, this Note shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payments were due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity, as the case may be.

Floating Rate Interest Provisions

If this Note is designated as a “Floating Rate Note” on the face hereof, the Bank will pay interest on each Interest Payment Date specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in definitive form, specified on the face hereof) and at Maturity, commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified on the face hereof (or, if the Original Issue Date is between a Record Date and the Interest Payment Date immediately following such Record Date, on the second Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date), at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions hereof (and, if this Note is in global form, in accordance with the Pricing Supplement), until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment.

Payments of interest hereon will include interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest on this Note (or any predecessor Note) has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Original Issue Date) to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be (each such period, an “Interest Period”).

Unless otherwise specified herein (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), if any Interest Payment Date (or other date which is subject to adjustment in accordance with a Business Day Convention specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement)) in respect of this Note (other than an Interest Payment Date at Maturity) would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, then, if the Business Day Convention specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) is:

If the Maturity of this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on, this Note will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Maturity.

If “ISDA Rate” is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) in connection with the determination of the rate of interest on this Note, the rate of interest on this Note for each Interest Period will be the relevant ISDA Rate (as defined below) plus or minus the Margin, if any, specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement). Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), “ISDA Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Period, the rate equal to the Floating Rate that would be determined by the Calculation Agent or other person specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) pursuant to an interest rate swap transaction if the Calculation Agent or that other person were acting as calculation agent for that swap transaction in accordance with the terms of an agreement in the form of the ISDA Master Agreement published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (including any Annexes thereto, the “ISDA Agreement”) and evidenced by a Confirmation (as defined in the ISDA Agreement) incorporating the 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “2006 ISDA Definitions”) published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. and under which:

As used in this paragraph, “Floating Rate,” “Calculation Agent,” “Floating Rate Option,” “Designated Maturity,” and “Reset Date” have the meanings ascribed to those terms in the 2006 ISDA Definitions.

If “Reference Rate Determination” is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) in connection with the determination of the rate of interest on this Note, this Note will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) and thereafter at a rate per annum determined as follows:

1. If this Note is designated as a “Regular Floating Rate Note” on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) or if no designation is made for Interest Calculation on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), then, except as described below (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), this Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) (i) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner described on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement). Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement); provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from and including the Original Issue Date to but excluding the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

2. If this Note is designated as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note” on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), then, except as described below (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), this Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) (i) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner described on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement).

3. If this Note is designated as an “Inverse Floating Rate Note” on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), then, except as described below (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), this Note shall bear interest equal to the Fixed Interest Rate indicated on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) (i) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner described on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement); provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the interest rate hereon will not be less than zero percent. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Rate Reset Date specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement); provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from and including the Original Issue Date to but excluding the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Except as provided above, if “Reference Rate Determination” is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) in connection with the determination of the rate of interest on this Note, the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (a) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (b) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the next preceding Interest Reset Date. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provision below. If any Interest Reset Date (which term includes the term Initial Interest Reset Date unless the context otherwise requires) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be adjusted in accordance with the Business Day Convention specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement).

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate will be the second Business Day preceding each Interest Reset Date; the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to EURIBOR will be the second TARGET Business Day (as defined below) preceding each Interest Reset Date, the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to LIBOR shall be the second London Banking Day (as defined below) preceding each Interest Reset Date, unless the Designated LIBOR Currency (as defined below) is British pounds sterling, in which case the “Interest Determination Date” will be the applicable Interest Reset Date; the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the Treasury Rate will be the day in the week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; provided, further, that if the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. If the interest rate of this Note is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the Interest Determination Date pertaining to this Note will be the latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to such Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined on such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the related Interest Reset Date. “London Banking Day” means any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which dealings in deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency are transacted in the London interbank market.

Determination of CD Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the CD Rate, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “CD Rate Interest Determination Date”) as the rate on such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) as published in H.15(519) (as defined below) opposite the caption “CDs (secondary market)”. In the event that such rate is not so published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date (as defined below) pertaining to such CD Rate Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date for certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) as published in H.15 Daily Update (as defined below), or another recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying that rate, opposite the caption “CDs (secondary market).” If such rate is published neither in H.15(519) nor in H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, the CD Rate for such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading nonbank dealers of negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks for negotiable certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate determined on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CD Rate in effect on such date.

“H.15(519)” means the weekly statistical release designated as such, or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and available on their website at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, or any successor site or publication.

Determination of CMT Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the CMT Rate, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the CMT Rate shall be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “CMT Rate Interest Determination Date”) in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) if “Reuters Page FRBCMT” is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be a percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) as set forth in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities,” as such yield is displayed on Reuters (or any successor service) (“Reuters”) on page FRBCMT (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) (“Reuters Page FRBCMT”) for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page FRBCMT, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be a percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) and for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date as set forth in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities.” If such rate does not appear in H.15(519), the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the rate for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate that would otherwise have been published in H.15(519). If the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury does not publish a yield on United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) and for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading primary United States government securities dealers in The City of New York (which may include the Distribution Agents (as defined in the Pricing Supplement) or their affiliates) (each, a “Reference Dealer”) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), a remaining term to maturity no more than one year shorter than such Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations shall be eliminated. If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), a remaining term to maturity closest to such Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations shall be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date. If two such United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) have remaining terms to maturity equally close to such Index Maturity, the quotes for the Treasury security with the shorter original term to maturity will be used.

(ii) if “Reuters Page FEDCMT” is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be a percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) as set forth in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities,” as such yield is displayed on Reuters on page FEDCMT (or any other page as may replace such page on such service ) (“Reuters Page FEDCMT”) for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date falls. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page FEDCMT, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be a percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) and for the week or month, as applicable, preceding such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date as set forth in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities”. If such rate does not appear in H.15(519), the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the one-week or one-month, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) as otherwise announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date falls. If the Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not publish a one-week or one-month, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), average yield on United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) for the applicable week or month, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to such Index Maturity, a remaining term to maturity of no more than one year shorter than such Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor lowest of such quotations shall be eliminated. If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity longer than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), a remaining term to maturity closest to such Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor lowest of such quotations shall be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date by the Calculation Agent shall be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date. If two United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) have remaining terms to maturity equally close to such Index Maturity, the quotes for the Treasury security with the shorter original term to maturity will be used.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the Commercial Paper Rate, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the Commercial Paper Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date”) as the Money Market Yield (as defined below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial” or, if not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having such Index Maturity as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, opposite the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.” If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in The City of New York (which may include the Distribution Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.

“Money Market Yield” means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period.

(i) with respect to any EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR will be:

(a) the rate for deposits in Euro as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI-The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, as that rate appears on Reuters on page EURIBOR01 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable EURIBOR Interest Determination Date.

(b) if the rate referred to in clause (a) above does not appear on Reuters Page EURIBOR01, or is not so published by 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR for such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of at least two quotations obtained by the Calculation Agent after requesting the principal Euro-zone (as defined below) offices of four major banks (which may include affiliates of the Distribution Agents) in the Euro-zone interbank market, in the European interbank market, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in Euro for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable EURIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1,000,000 in Euro that is representative for a single transaction in Euro in such market at such time.

(d) if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (c) above, EURIBOR determined as of such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date shall be EURIBOR in effect on such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date.

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of member states of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European Community (signed in Rome on March 25, 1957), as amended by the Treaty on European Union (signed in Maastricht on February 7, 1992) and the Treaty of Amsterdam (signed in Amsterdam on October 2, 1997).

(“Bloomberg”), which is the Fed Funds Opening Rate as reported by Prebon Yamane (or a successor) on Bloomberg. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page 5 or is not displayed on the FFPREBON Index page on Bloomberg or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Federal Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York (which may include the Distribution Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate determined as of such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

If at least two such quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean calculated by the Calculation Agent of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean calculated by the Calculation Agent of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the applicable Principal Financial Center (as defined below), on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the Distribution Agents) in such Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in the Designated LIBOR Currency to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined as of such LIBOR Interest Determination Date shall be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

“Designated LIBOR Currency” means the currency specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, the Pricing Supplement) as to which LIBOR shall be calculated or, if no such currency is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, the Pricing Supplement), United States dollars.

“Designated LIBOR Page” means the display on Reuters on page LIBOR01 or LIBOR02, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) (or any other page as may replace such page on such service), for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks (which may include affiliates of the Distribution Agents) for the Designated LIBOR Currency.

“Principal Financial Center” means (i) the capital city of the country issuing the Specified Currency or (ii) the capital city of the country to which the Designated LIBOR Currency, if applicable, relates, except, in each case, that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, New Zealand dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” shall be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, The City of London (solely in the case of the Designated LIBOR Currency), Wellington, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.

Determination of Prime Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the Prime Rate, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the Prime Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “Prime Rate Interest Determination Date”) as the rate on such date as such rate is published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Bank prime loan” or, if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, opposite the caption “Bank prime loan.” If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean calculated by the Calculation Agent of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on Reuters on page USPRIME1 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks (“Reuters Page USPRIME1”)) as such bank’s prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates so appear on Reuters Page USPRIME1 for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean calculated by the Calculation Agent of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the Distribution Agents) in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate determined as of such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date.

Determination of Treasury Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the Treasury Rate, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the Treasury Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date”) as the rate from the auction held on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) under the caption “INVEST RATE” on Reuters on page USAUCTION10 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION10”)) or page USAUCTION11 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION11”)). If such rate does not so appear one either Reuters Page USAUCTION10 or Reuters Page USAUCTION11 by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date shall be Bond Equivalent Yield (as defined below) of the auction rate of such Treasury Bills as announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that such auction rate is not so announced by the United States Department of the Treasury on such Calculation Date, or if no such Auction is held, then the Treasury Rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “U.S. government securities/Treasury bills/secondary market” or, if not yet published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of such Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, opposite the caption “U.S. government securities/Treasury bills/secondary market.” If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Treasury Rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers (which may include the Distribution Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement); provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate determined as of such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date.

“Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

55

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the interest factor for each such day shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months if the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) is “30/360” for the period specified thereunder, or by dividing the applicable per annum interest rate by 360 if the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) is “Actual/360” for the period specified thereunder, or by dividing the applicable per annum interest rate by the actual number of days in the year if the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) is “Actual/Actual” for the period specified thereunder. If no Day Count Convention is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the interest factor for each day in the relevant Interest Period shall be computed, if an Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) is the CMT Rate or Treasury Rate or if the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) is Sterling, as if “Actual/Actual” had been specified thereon and, in all other cases, as if “Actual/360” had been specified thereon. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), if interest on this Note is to be calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the interest factor will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), if “Reference Rate Determination” is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) in connection with the determination of the rate of interest on this Note, the “Calculation Date,” if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. All calculations in respect of determining the interest rate applicable to this Note (other than any calculations made by the Exchange Rate Agent) shall be made by the Calculation Agent specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, the Pricing Supplement) or such successor thereto as is duly appointed by the Bank. The determination of any interest rate by the Calculation Agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding upon the holder hereof.

All percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or 0.09876545) shall be rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655%) and 9.876544% (or 0.09876544) shall be rounded to 987654% (or 0.0987654)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation shall be rounded to the nearest cent or, if the Specified Currency is other than dollars, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upward).

At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent shall provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which shall become effective for the next Interest Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement). In addition to any Maximum Interest Rate applicable hereto pursuant to the above provisions, the interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

Redemption at the Option of the Bank

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund. This Note may be redeemed by the Bank either in whole or in part on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement). If no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), this Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date except as provided below in the event that any Additional Amounts (as defined below) are required to be paid by the Bank with respect to this Note. On and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Note may be redeemed in increments of US$1,000 (or, if the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof is other than the United States dollar, in such Authorized Denominations specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement)) at the option of the Bank at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below) together with unpaid interest accrued hereon at the applicable rate borne by this Note to, but excluding, the date of redemption (each such date, a “Redemption Date”), on written notice given by or on behalf of the Bank not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date (unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement)); provided, however, that, in the event of redemption of this Note in part only, the unredeemed portion thereof shall be an Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement). In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender of this Note, or, where applicable, an appropriate notation will be made on the schedule attached hereto for such notations.

The “Redemption Price” shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), of the principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount.

Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, if this Note is a Subordinated Note, to the extent then required under or pursuant to applicable laws or regulations (including, without limitation, applicable capital regulations), this Note may not be redeemed at the option of the Bank prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve Board and any other bank supervisory authority having jurisdiction over the Bank and requiring such approval.

Repayment at the Option of the Holder

This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof in accordance with the terms hereof on any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement). If no Holder’s Optional Repayment Date is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), this Note will not be repayable at the option of the holder hereof prior to the Maturity Date. On any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of US$1,000 (or, if the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof is other than the U.S. dollar, in such Authorized Denominations specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement)) at the option of the holder hereof at the repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued and unpaid interest hereon payable at the applicable rate borne by this Note to, but excluding, the date of repayment; provided, however, that, in the event of repayment of this Note in part only, the unrepaid portion hereof shall be an Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement). For this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof on a Holder’s Optional Repayment Date, this Note must be delivered, with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” attached hereto duly completed, to the Domestic Paying Agent, the London Paying Agent or the Irish Paying Agent (as appropriate in accordance with such attached form) at the address set forth on such form or at such other address which the Bank shall from time to time notify the holders of the Notes not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to such Holder’s Optional Repayment Date. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unrepaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof, or, where applicable, an appropriate notation will be made on the schedule attached hereto for such notations. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if this Note is a Subordinated Note, to the extent then required under or pursuant to applicable laws or regulations (including, without limitation, applicable capital regulations), this Note may not be repaid at the option of the holder pursuant to the preceding paragraph, without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve Board and any other bank supervisory authority having jurisdiction over the Bank and requiring such approval. The Bank agrees to apply to the Federal Reserve Board and any such other bank supervisory authorities for any such prior written consent.

Additional Amounts

All payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest with respect to this Note will be made without withholding or deduction at source for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, fees, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, unless such withholding or deduction is required by (i) the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or (ii) an official position regarding the application, administration, interpretation or enforcement of any such laws, regulations or rulings including, without limitation, a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a taxing authority in the United States or any political subdivision thereof). If a withholding or deduction at source is required, the Bank will (subject to certain limitations and exceptions set forth below) pay to the holder hereof on behalf of an owner of a beneficial interest herein (an “Owner”) who is a United States Alien (as defined below) such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that every net payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest made to the holder hereof on behalf of such Owner, after such withholding or deduction, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note with respect to such Owner’s interest; provided, however, that the Bank shall not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

(a) any tax, fee, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such Owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Owner, if such Owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such Owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having had a permanent establishment therein, or (ii) the presentation of this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(c) any tax, fee, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such Owner’s past or present status as a passive foreign investment company or controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

(d) any tax, fee, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of principal or interest with respect to this Note;

(f) any tax, fee, duty, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest with respect to this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent with respect to this Note;

(g) any tax, fee, duty, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the holder hereof or of such Owner, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States Treasury Department as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

(h) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed as a result of such holder of the Notes or Coupon being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(i) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be imposed or withheld on a payment to an individual and such deduction or withholding is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive or law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive; or

(j) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) (h) and (i);

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid to any holder of this Note on behalf of any Owner who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole Owner to the extent a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or Owner would not have been entitled to payment of the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or Owner been the sole Owner of this Note.

As used herein, the term “United States Alien” means any corporation, individual, fiduciary or partnership that for United States federal income tax purposes is a foreign corporation, nonresident alien individual, a foreign estate or trust, or foreign partnership, one or more members of which is a foreign corporation, nonresident alien individual or foreign estate or trust.

If this Note is in bearer form and the Bank shall determine, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Bank, that any payment made outside the United States by the Bank or any of its Paying Agents of the full amount of the next scheduled payment of either principal (and premium, if any) or interest due with respect to this Note would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States affecting taxation or otherwise, be subject to any certification, information or other reporting requirements of any kind, the effect of which requirements is the disclosure to the Bank, any of its Paying Agents or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity (as distinguished from status as a United States Alien) of any Owner of this Note who is a United States Alien (other than such requirements which (i) would not be applicable to a payment made to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the Owner, or which can be satisfied by such a custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such Owner is a United States Alien; provided, however, in each case that payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such Owner is not otherwise subject to any requirements referred to in this sentence, (ii) are applicable only to payment by a custodian, nominee or other agent of the Owner to or on behalf of such Owner, or (iii) would not be applicable to a payment made by any other paying agent of the Bank), the Bank shall redeem this Note as a whole but not in part at a redemption price equal to the principal amount hereof (or, if this is an Original Issue Discount Note, the Amortized Face Amount (as defined below) hereof determined as of the date of redemption), together, if appropriate, with accrued interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, such redemption to take place on such date not later than one year after notice of such determination has been given as described herein. If the Bank becomes aware of an event that might give rise to such certification, information or other reporting requirements, the Bank shall, as soon as practicable, solicit advice of independent counsel selected by the Bank to establish whether such certification, information or other reporting requirements will apply and, if such requirements will, in the written opinion of such counsel, apply, the Bank shall give prompt notice of such determination (a “Tax Notice”) stating in such notice the effective date of such certification, information or other reporting requirements and, if applicable, the date by which the redemption shall take place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank shall not redeem this Note if the Bank, based upon the written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Bank, shall subsequently determine not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirements, in which case the Bank shall give prompt notice of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall thereby be revoked and of no further effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and so long as the certification information or other reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully satisfied by payment of a withholding tax , backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Bank may elect prior to giving the Tax Notice to have the provisions described in this paragraph apply in lieu of the provisions described in the preceding paragraph, in which case the Tax Notice shall state the effective date of such certification, information or reporting requirements and that the Bank has elected to pay Additional Amounts rather than redeem this Note. In such event, the Bank will also pay as Additional Amounts such sums as may be necessary so that every net payment made following the effective date of such certification, information or reporting requirements outside the United States by the Bank or any of its Paying Agents of principal (and premium, if any) or interest due with respect to this Note to the bearer hereof who certifies to the effect that the beneficial owners of this Note are United States Aliens (provided that such certification shall not have the effect of communicating to the Bank or any of its Paying Agents or any governmental authority the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owners) after deduction or withholding for or on account of such withholding tax, backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a withholding tax, backup withholding tax or similar charge which (i) is imposed as a result of certification, information or other reporting requirements referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph or (ii) is imposed as a result of the fact that the Bank or any of its Paying Agents has actual knowledge that the bearer hereof or any beneficial owner of this Note is not a United States Alien but is within the category of persons, corporations or other entities described in clause (a)(i) of the third preceding paragraph, or (iii) is imposed as a result of presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Bank elects to pay such Additional Amounts, the Bank will have the right, at its sole option, at any time, to redeem this Note, as a whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount hereof (or, if this is an Original Issue Discount Note, the Amortized Face Amount hereof determined as of the date of redemption), together, if appropriate, with accrued interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption including any Additional Amounts required to be paid under this paragraph. If the Bank has made the determination described in the preceding paragraph with respect to certification, information or other reporting requirements applicable to interest only and subsequently makes a determination in the manner and of the nature referred to in such preceding paragraph with respect to such requirements applicable to principal, the Bank will redeem this Note in the manner and on the terms described in the preceding paragraph (except as provided below), unless the Bank elects to have the provisions of this paragraph apply rather than the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. If in such circumstances this Note is to be redeemed, the Bank will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to interest, if any, accrued to, but excluding, the date of redemption. If the Bank has made the determination described in the preceding paragraph and subsequently makes a determination in the manner and of the nature referred to in such preceding paragraph that the level of withholding applicable to principal or interest has been increased, the Bank will redeem this Note in the manner and on the terms described in the preceding paragraph (except as provided below), unless the Bank elects to have the provisions of this paragraph apply rather than the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. If in such circumstances this Note is to be redeemed, the Bank will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the original level of withholding on principal and interest, if any, accrued to the date of redemption.

Whenever in this Note there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or in respect of, this Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for herein to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect hereof pursuant to the provisions of this Note and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as including Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

Except as specifically provided herein (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) (i) neither the Bank nor any Paying Agent shall be required to make, any payment with respect to any tax, fee, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein; (ii) a Paying Agent on behalf of the Bank shall have the right, but not the duty, to withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to a holder of this Note such amount as is necessary for the payment of any such taxes, fees, duties, assessments or other governmental charges; and (iii) if such an amount is withheld, the amount payable to the holder of this Note shall be the amount otherwise payable reduced by the amount so withheld.

The Bank may redeem this Note in whole but not in part at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount hereof (or, if this is an Original Issue Discount Note, the Amortized Face Amount hereof determined as of the date of redemption), together with accrued interest to but excluding the date fixed for redemption, if the Bank shall determine, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Bank, that as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated hereunder) of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in application or official interpretation of any such laws, regulations or rulings, which amendment or change is effective on or after the Original Issue Date, the Bank would be required to pay Additional Amounts on the occasion of the next payment due with respect to such Note.

Notice of intention to redeem this Note, in whole but not in part, pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph will be given (i) if this Note is in registered form, to the registered holder of this Note at least once not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or (ii) if this Note is in bearer form, by publication in accordance with applicable law, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the effective date of such change or amendment and that at the time notice of such redemption is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Amounts remains in effect and cannot be avoided by the Bank’s taking reasonable measures available to it. From and after any redemption date, if monies for the redemption of this Note shall have been made available for redemption on such redemption date, this Note shall cease to bear interest (and, if this Note is a definitive bearer Note, any interest coupons appertaining hereto (whether or not attached) maturing after the redemption date shall become void and no payment shall be made in respect thereof), and the only right of the holder of this Note shall be to receive payment of the principal amount hereof (or, if this is an Original Issue Discount Note, the Amortized Face Amount hereof) and all unpaid interest accrued to such redemption date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is a Subordinated Note, to the extent then required under or pursuant to applicable laws or regulations (including, without limitation, applicable capital regulations), this Note may not be redeemed by the Bank prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to the provisions set forth in this section entitled “Additional Amounts”, without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve Board and any other bank supervisory authority having jurisdiction over the Bank and requiring such approval.

The “Amortized Face Amount” shall mean an amount equal to (i) the Issue Price plus (ii) the aggregate portions of the original issue discount (the excess of the amounts considered as part of the “stated redemption price at maturity” of this Note within the meaning of Section 1273(a)(2) of the Code, whether denominated as principal or interest, over the Issue Price) which shall theretofore have accrued pursuant to Section 1272 of the Code (without regard to Section 1272(a)(7) of the Code) from the date of issue of this Note to the date of determination, minus (iii) any amount considered as part of the “stated redemption price at maturity” of this Note which has been paid from the date of issue to the date of determination.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, this Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, against any shareholder, employee, agent, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Bank or of any successor organization, either directly or through the Bank or any successor organization, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
