2. Appointment of Agents. Subject to the terms and conditions stated
herein and subject to the reservation by the Company of the right to sell Notes
to any of you acting as principal at a discount for its own account or for
resale to one or more investors or other dealers and the Company153s right to sell
Notes directly to investors on its own behalf or through other agents, the
Company hereby appoints and authorizes Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and the
other Agents listed in Schedule I hereto to act as its agents to solicit offers
for the purchase of all or part of the Notes from the Company.

(a) Solicitations of Offers to Purchase Notes. At any time following
the Commencement Date (defined below), the Company shall notify each Agent from
time to time as to the commencement of a period during which the Notes may be
offered and sold by the Agents (each period, commencing with such a notification
and ending at such time as the authorization for offers and sales through the
Agents shall have been suspended by the Company or the Agents as provided
hereunder, being herein referred to as an “Offering Period“). The initial
Offering Period began on April 20, 2006 (the “Commencement Date“). On the
basis of the representations and warranties, and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each of the Agents agrees, as agent of the Company,
to use its reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase Notes from the
Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus (and any
supplement thereto) and in the Procedures. Each Agent shall communicate to the
Company, orally or in writing, each reasonable offer or indication of interest
to purchase Notes received by such Agent as agent The Company shall have the
sole right to accept offers to purchase the Notes and may reject any such offer
in whole or in part. Each Agent shall have the right to reject, in its
discretion reasonably exercised, any offer received by it to purchase the Notes,
in whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its
agreements contained herein. In soliciting offers to purchase the Notes in its
capacity as agent of the Company, each Agent is acting solely as agent for the
Company, and not as principal, and does not assume any obligation toward or
relationship of agency or trust with any purchaser of the Notes (other than any
such obligation or relationship which the Agent assumes independently of this
Agreement). Each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in
obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Notes has been
solicited by such Agent and accepted by the Company, but such Agent shall not,
except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be obligated to disclose the
identity of any purchaser or have any liability to the Company in the event any
such purchase is not consummated for any reason. Except as provided in Section
2(b), under no circumstances will any Agent be obligated to purchase any Notes
for its own account.

7


It is understood and agreed, however, that any of you may purchase Notes as
principal or agent pursuant to Section 2(b).

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to instruct the
Agents to suspend at any time, for any period of time or permanently, the
solicitation of offers to purchase Notes. Upon receipt of instructions from the
Company, such Agent will forthwith suspend solicitation of offers to purchase
Notes from the Company until such time as the Company has advised them that such
solicitation may be resumed.

The Company agrees to pay each Agent a commission, on the Settlement Date
with respect to each sale of Notes by the Company as a result of a solicitation
made by such Agent, in an amount agreed upon by the Agent and the Company. Such
commission shall be payable as specified in the Procedures. Without the prior
approval of the Company, no Agent (acting on an agency basis) may reallow any
portion of the commission payable pursuant hereto to dealers or purchasers in
connection with the offer and sale of any Notes.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 2 and to the Procedures, offers for
the purchase of Notes may be solicited by an Agent as agent for the Company at
such time and in such amounts as such Agent shall deem advisable. The Company
may from time to time offer Notes for sale otherwise than through an Agent;
provided, however, that so long as this Agreement is in effect the Company shall
not solicit or accept offers to purchase Notes through any agent other than an
Agent.

If the Company defaults in its obligations to deliver Notes to a purchaser
whose offer it has accepted, the Company and the Guarantor shall indemnify and
hold each of the Agents harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from
or as a result of such default by the Company.

(b) Purchases of Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions stated
herein, whenever the Company and any of you determine that the Company shall
sell Notes directly to any of you as principal or agent (in such capacity, the
Purchaser“), each such sale of Notes shall be made in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and a supplemental agreement relating to such sale.
Each such supplemental agreement (which may be either an oral or written
agreement) is herein referred to as a “Terms Agreement“. Each Terms
Agreement shall describe the Notes to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant
thereto and shall specify the terms of the offered Notes. A Terms Agreement may
also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Notes by the
Purchaser. Any written Terms Agreement may be in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B. The Purchaser153s commitment to purchase Notes shall be deemed
to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the
Company and the Guarantor herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and
conditions herein set forth.

Delivery of the Notes sold to the Purchaser pursuant to a Terms Agreement
shall be made not later than the Settlement Date specified in the Terms
Agreement against payment of funds to the Company in the net amount due to the
Company for such Notes by the method and in the form set forth in the Procedures
unless otherwise agreed to between the Company and the Purchaser.

8


Unless otherwise agreed to between the Company and the Purchaser in a Terms
Agreement, any Note sold to a Purchaser (i) shall be purchased by such Purchaser
at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof less a percentage equal
to the applicable commission and (ii) may be resold by such Purchaser at varying
prices from time to time or, if set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement and
Pricing Supplement, at a fixed public offering price. In connection with any
resale of Notes purchased, a Purchaser may use a selling or dealer group and may
reallow to any broker or dealer any portion of the discount or commission
payable pursuant hereto.

(c) Additional Agents. Notwithstanding paragraph 2(a) or 2(b) above,
the Company may from time to time appoint one or more additional financial
institutions experienced in the distribution of securities as an Agent under
this Agreement, for the duration of this Agreement (subject to Section 7 hereof)
or on an issue by issue basis, pursuant to a letter (an “Agent Accession
Confirmation
“) substantially in the form of Exhibit C or Exhibit
E
to this Agreement, as appropriate, provided that any such additional party
shall have first requested appointment as such upon the terms and conditions of
this Agreement in writing to the Company pursuant to a letter (an “Agent
Accession Letter
“) substantially in the form of Exhibit D or
Exhibit F to this Agreement, as appropriate, whereupon it shall, subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the relevant Agent Accession
Letter and the relevant Agent Accession Confirmation, become a party to this
Agreement as an Agent, vested with all the authority, rights and powers and
subject to all the duties and obligations of an Agent as if originally named as
an Agent hereunder. The Company shall promptly notify the Guarantor, the
Trustees and the other Agents of any such appointment, but only in the event
that any such additional Agent is appointed for the duration of this Agreement.

3. Offering and Sale of Notes. Each Agent and the Company agree to
perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be
performed by them in the Procedures.

4. Agreements. (A) The Company and the Guarantor agree with each of
you that:

(a) At any time during an Offering Period or during the time a prospectus
relating to the Notes is required to be delivered under the Securities Act
(including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to
Rule 172), prior to amending or supplementing either Registration Statement or
the Prospectus, the Company and the Guarantor will furnish the Agents and Cleary
Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, counsel to the Agents, with a copy of each
proposed amendment or supplement (other than an amendment or supplement to be
made pursuant to incorporation by reference of a document filed under the
Exchange Act, or a Pricing Supplement or an amendment or supplement relating
solely to an offering of securities other than the Notes) and will not file any
such proposed amendment or supplement to which they reasonably object. The
Company and the Guarantor will promptly cause each amendment of or supplement to
the Prospectus to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). If the
Prospectus is amended or supplemented (other than by a Pricing Supplement or an
amendment or supplement relating solely to an offering of securities other than
the Notes), each Agent shall be furnished with such information relating to such
filing as it may reasonably request, and no Agent shall be obligated to solicit
offers to purchase Notes so long as

9


it is not reasonably satisfied that such amendment or supplement complies in
all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act. At any time during an Offering Period or during the time a prospectus
relating to the Notes is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, the
Company and the Guarantor will promptly advise each Agent of (i) the filing of
any amendment or supplement to either Prospectus (other than a Pricing
Supplement or an amendment or supplement to be made pursuant to incorporation by
reference of a document filed under the Exchange Act or relating solely to an
offering of securities other than the Notes), (ii) the filing of any amendment
to the Registration Statement, (iii) the receipt by the Company or the Guarantor
of comments from the Commission relating to or requests by the Commission for
any amendment of the Registration Statement or any amendment of or supplement to
either Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or of any notice objecting to its use or the institution or
threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) the receipt by the
Company or the Guarantor of any notification with respect to the suspension of
the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company and the Guarantor
will use their reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop
order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the
Registration Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of
objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or
relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an
amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and
using their best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement
declared effective as soon as practicable.

(b) If, at any time prior to the filing of the related Pricing Supplement
pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure
Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, the
Company will (1) notify promptly each Agent so that any use of the Disclosure
Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (2) amend or supplement
the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (3) supply any
amendment or supplement to each Agent in such quantities as such Agent may
reasonably request.

(c) At any time during an Offering Period, the Company and the Guarantor will
comply with all requirements imposed upon them by the Securities Act, as now and
hereafter amended, and by the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder, as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the
continuance of sales of or dealings in the Notes as contemplated by the
provisions hereof and the Prospectus. If during such period any event occurs as
a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then
existing, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of the Company or the Guarantor,
during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or file a new registration statement to comply with
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the
Company promptly will notify each Agent to suspend the solicitation of offers to
purchase the Notes and to cease sales of any Notes. To the extent required under
the provision in the last

10


sentence of this subsection (c), the Company and the Guarantor promptly will
amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the relevant Prospectus or
file a new registration statement (at the expense of the Company and the
Guarantor ) so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such
compliance and will use their best efforts to have any amendment to the
Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon
as practicable in order to avoid any disruption in use of the Prospectus (and
any supplements thereto). If such amendment or supplement, and any documents,
certificates, opinions and letters furnished to the Agents pursuant to
subsections (m), (n) and (o) of this Section 4(A) in connection with the
preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement, are reasonably
satisfactory in all respects to the Lead Agent, in its sole discretion, upon the
filing of such amendment or supplement with the Commission or effectiveness of
an amendment to the Registration Statement, the Agents will resume solicitation
of offers to purchase Notes hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither
the Company nor the Guarantor shall be required to comply with the provisions of
subsection (c) of this Section 4(A) during any period from the time any Agent
shall have been notified to suspend the solicitation of offers to purchase the
Notes in its capacity as Agent (whether under this subparagraph (c) or otherwise
under this Agreement) to the time the Company shall determine that solicitation
of offers to purchase the Notes should be resumed; provided that if any Agent
holds any Notes purchased as principal or agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement,
the Company and the Guarantor shall comply with the provisions of subsection (c)
of this Section 4(A) during the period when a prospectus relating to the Notes
is required to be delivered pursuant to the Securities Act (including in
circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172).

(d) The Guarantor will comply, in a timely manner, with all applicable
requirements under the Exchange Act relating to the filing with the Commission
of the Guarantor153s reports pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act and, if then applicable, of the Guarantor153s proxy statements
pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act.

(e) The Company and the Guarantor will use their best efforts to qualify the
Notes for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Lead Agent
or other Agent participating in the offer and sale of a series of Notes may
reasonably designates in connection with the offer and sale of such series of
Notes, to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the
distribution of the Notes and, if requested by the Lead Agent or other Agent
participating in the offer and sale of such series of Notes, to arrange for the
determination of the legality of the Notes for purchase by institutional
investors, except that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be required
in connection therewith to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it
is not now so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general
or unlimited service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so
subject.

(f) Upon request, the Company and the Guarantor will furnish to the Agents
and counsel for the Agents, without charge, signed copies of the Registration
Statement (including exhibits thereto) and the Prospectus and, so long as
delivery of a prospectus relating to the Notes by an Agent may be required by
the Securities Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be
satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of each additional prospectus
supplement, Pricing Supplement and Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any
supplements thereto as each Agent may reasonably request. The Company will

11


pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to
each offering that are required to be prepared, furnished or delivered by it.

(g) Upon request, the Company will prepare a final term sheet, containing
solely a description of final terms of the Securities and the offering thereof
(a “Final Term Sheet“), in a form approved by the relevant Agent and will
file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such
Rule.

(h) (i) Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that, unless it has
obtained or will obtain, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the
Lead Agent, and (ii) each Agent, severally and not jointly, agrees with the
Company and the Guarantor that, unless it has obtained or will obtain, as the
case may be, the prior written consent of the Company and the Guarantor, it has
not made and will not make any offer relating to the Notes that would constitute
an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free
writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company
or the Guarantor with the Commission or retained by the Company or the Guarantor
under Rule 433; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto
shall be deemed to have been given in respect of any Final Term Sheet and any
free writing prospectus prepared by an Agent in connection with a specific
offering of the Notes and approved for use by the Company and the Guarantor. Any
such free writing prospectus consented to by the relevant Agent or the Company
and the Guarantor is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus.” Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that (x) it has
treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will
comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433
applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of
timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

(i) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Guarantor agrees to
furnish to each Agent, upon its reasonable request, as soon as available, all
reports and financial statements filed by or on behalf of the Guarantor with the
Commission or any national securities exchange. The Guarantor shall be deemed to
have furnished such information to such Agent if (i) such reports and financial
statements are generally available on, and can be printed and/or downloaded
from, the Securities and Exchange Commission153s internet website,
www.sec.gov (or any other website of which the Guarantor notifies such
Agent), and (ii) such Agent has been notified by the Guarantor that such reports
and financial statements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

(j) The Company and the Guarantor shall, whether or not any sale of Notes is
consummated or this Agreement is terminated, pay all expenses incident to the
performance of their obligations under this Agreement and under any Terms
Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of its
accountants and counsel; the cost of printing (or other production) and delivery
of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Pricing Supplements, Final
Term Sheets or Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, all amendments thereof and
supplements thereto, the Indentures, and all other documents relating to the
offering, the cost of preparing, printing, packaging and delivering the Notes;
the fees and disbursements (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred in
connection with the qualification of the Notes for sale and determination of
eligibility for investment of the Notes under the securities or blue sky laws of

12


such jurisdictions as the relevant Agent may reasonably designate; the fees
and disbursements of the Trustees; the fees of any agency that rates the Notes;
the fees and expenses in connection with any listing of the Notes on The NASDAQ
Stock Market, NYSE Arca, Luxembourg Stock Exchange or such other securities
exchange agreed to by the Company; the fees and expenses incurred with respect
to any filing with the Financial Regulatory Authority, Inc.; the reasonable fees
and disbursements of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, as counsel for
the Agents, or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Agent, the
Company and the Guarantor; and such other expenses, including, without
limitation, advertising expenses as may be agreed upon by the Agents, the
Company and the Guarantor; provided, however, that with respect to any purchase
of Notes by one of you as principal or agent pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the
fees and disbursements of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP or other
counsel to you shall not be paid by either the Company or the Guarantor.

(k) During the term of this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor shall
furnish to each Agent such relevant documents and certificates of officers of
the Company and the Guarantor relating to the business, operations and affairs
of the Company and the Guarantor, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus,
any Pricing Supplement, Final Term Sheet and Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any
amendments thereof or supplements thereto, the Indentures, the Notes, this
Agreement, the Procedures, any Terms Agreement and the performance by the
Company and the Guarantor of their obligations hereunder or thereunder as the
Agents may from time to time reasonably request. The Company and the Guarantor
shall promptly notify the Agents orally, followed by written notice, of any
downgrading or of the receipt by either of them of any notice of any intended
downgrading in the rating accorded any securities of either the Company or the
Guarantor by Moody153s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor153s Ratings
Services or, if one of them no longer rates the securities of either the Company
or the Guarantor, another “nationally recognized statistical rating
organization”, as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2).

(l) If any issue of Notes is to be listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, NYSE
Arca or such other securities exchange agreed to by the Company, as specified in
the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Company and the Guarantor will use their
best efforts to obtain the listing of such issue of Notes on such securities
exchange, to furnish to such securities exchange all documents, information and
undertakings that may be reasonably necessary in order to effect such listing,
and to cause such listing to be continued so long as any of the Notes of such
issue remain outstanding.

(m) Each time the Registration Statement or the Prospectus are amended or
supplemented (other than by filing with the Commission: (i) a Pricing
Supplement, (ii) an amendment or supplement relating solely to an offering of
securities other than the Notes, (iii) a Current Report on Form 8-K (or any
successor item thereto), or (iv) any other amendment or supplement that the Lead
Agent reasonably deems immaterial), the Company and the Guarantor will deliver
or cause to be delivered forthwith to the Agents a certificate of the Company
and the Guarantor, signed by (A) on behalf of the Company, the Chairman, the
President or any Vice President and by the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer,
the Controller, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary and, (B) on behalf of
the Guarantor, the Chairman, any Vice Chairman, any Vice President, the
principal financial officer, the General Counsel, the Controller, any Deputy

13


Controller or the principal accounting officer and by the Treasurer, any
Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary (or another
officer or officers acceptable to the Lead Agent), dated as of the date of the
effectiveness of such amendment or the date of filing with the Commission of
such supplement or document, as the case may be, in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Lead Agent, to the effect that the statements contained in the
certificate referred to in Section 5(b) (iii) that was last furnished to the
Agents (either pursuant to Section 5(b) (iii) or pursuant to this Section
4(A)(m)) are true and correct at the time of the effectiveness of such amendment
or the time of filing of such supplement or document, as the case may be, as
though made at and as of such time (except that such statements shall be deemed
to relate to the Registration Statement, as amended as of the time of
effectiveness of such amendment, and to the relevant Prospectus, as amended and
supplemented as of the date of such certificate) or, in lieu of such
certificate, a certificate of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in
Section 5(b) (iii) but modified, if necessary, to relate to the Registration
Statement, as amended as of the time of the effectiveness of such amendment, and
to the relevant Prospectus, as amended and supplemented as of the date of such
certificate.

(n) Each time the Registration Statement or the Prospectus are amended or
supplemented (other than by filing with the Commission: (i) a Pricing
Supplement, (ii) an amendment or supplement relating solely to an offering of
securities other than the Notes, (iii) a Current Report on Form 8-K (or any
successor item thereto), or (iv) any other amendment or supplement that the Lead
Agent reasonably deems immaterial), the Company and the Guarantor shall furnish
to or cause to be furnished forthwith to the Agents the written opinion of the
Associate General Counsel-Capital Markets & Corporate Reporting of the
Guarantor, or, in connection with the filing of the Guarantor153s Annual Report on
Form 10-K, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, or in either case, other
counsel for the Company and/or the Guarantor or other external counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Agent, dated as of the date of the
effectiveness of such amendment or the date of filing with the Commission of
such supplement or document, as the case may be, in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Lead Agent. In lieu of such opinion, counsel last furnishing such an
opinion to the Agents may furnish to the Agents a letter to the effect that the
Agents may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it were dated
as of the date of such letter and authorizing reliance on such last opinion
(except that statements in such last opinion will be deemed to relate to the
Registration Statement, as amended at the time of the effectiveness of such
amendment, and to the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented as of the date of
such letter).

(o) Each time that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus are amended
or supplemented to set forth amended or supplemental financial information
supplemented (other than by filing with the Commission: (i) a Pricing
Supplement, (ii) an amendment or supplement relating solely to an offering of
securities other than the Notes, (iii) a Current Report on Form 8-K (or any
successor item thereto), or (iv) any other amendment or supplement that the
Agents reasonably deems immaterial), the Guarantor shall cause KPMG LLP,
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, forthwith to furnish the Agents a
letter, dated as of the date of the effectiveness of such amendment or the date
of filing of such supplement or document, as the case may be, in form
satisfactory to the Lead Agent, of the same tenor as the letter of such
independent public accountants referred to in Section 5(b)(iv) hereof but
modified to relate to the Registration Statement and Prospectus, as amended and
supplemented to the date of such letter,

14


with such changes as may be necessary to reflect changes in the financial
statements and other information derived from the accounting records of the
Guarantor; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus are amended or supplemented solely to include or incorporate by
reference financial information with respect to a fiscal quarter, KPMG LLP may
limit the scope of such letter to the unaudited financial statements included in
such amendment or supplement.

(p) Each solicitation of an offer to purchase Notes by you, each acceptance
by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Notes, each sale of Notes to any
Purchaser and each Settlement Date shall be deemed to be an affirmation that the
representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantor contained in or
made pursuant to this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects at
the time of such solicitation, acceptance, sale or issuance and delivery, as the
case may be, as though made at and as of such time (and it is understood that
such representations and warranties shall relate to the Registration Statement
and the Prospectuses as amended and supplemented to each such time).

(q) Anything to the contrary in this Section 4 notwithstanding, if, at the
time of any required notice, amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement or the Prospectuses, the Company shall have instructed the Agents to
suspend solicitation of offers to purchase the Notes in each Agent153s capacity as
agent of the Company and either Agent does not then hold any Notes acquired by
it as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement, neither the Company nor the
Guarantor shall be obligated to furnish or cause to be furnished any notice,
certificate, opinion or letter otherwise required until such time as it shall
determine that solicitation of offers to purchase the Notes should be resumed;
and provided, further, that, prior to resuming such solicitation the Agents
shall be entitled to receive any such notices, certificates, opinions or letters
not previously furnished, accurate as of the date of such notice, certificate,
opinion or letter.

(B) Each Agent represents to and agrees with the Company and the Guarantor
that it will comply with all relevant selling restrictions included in the
Prospectus or Pricing Supplement for each series of Notes such Agent offers or
sells.

(C) Each Agent acknowledges and agrees with the Company and the Guarantor
that it has the sole responsibility to ensure, to the extent that such Agent
makes offers or sales of the Notes directly to investors, prior to any offer or
sale of the Notes, that it has a reasonable basis to believe that the Notes are
suitable for the investors to whom the Notes are being sold, that it is lawful
for such investors to purchase the Notes and that the investors are capable of
evaluating the risks and merits of any investment in the Notes. Further, each
Agent undertakes that it will only make offers and sales of the Notes through
broker-dealers that acknowledge to and agree with such Agent to comply with all
applicable United States federal and state securities laws, the applicable rules
and regulations of any regulatory body promulgated thereunder and the applicable
rules and regulations of FINRA.

5. Conditions to the Obligations of the Agents. Each Agent153s
obligations to solicit offers to purchase Notes as agent of the Company, any
Agent153s obligation to purchase Notes as principal pursuant to any Terms
Agreement or otherwise, and the obligation of any other Agent to purchase Notes
from the Company will be subject to the accuracy in all material

15


respects of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company and
the Guarantor herein contained, to the accuracy of the statements of the
officers of the Company and the Guarantor made in each certificate furnished
pursuant to the provisions hereof and to the performance and observance by the
Company and the Guarantor of all covenants and agreements herein contained on
their part to be performed and observed (in the case of the Agents153 obligations
to solicit offers to purchase Notes, at the time of such solicitation, and, in
the case of any Purchaser153s obligation to purchase Notes, at the time the
Company accepts the offer to purchase such Notes and at the time of purchase)
and (in each case) to the following additional conditions precedent when and as
specified:

(a) On the corresponding Settlement Date:

(i) The Prospectus, and any supplements thereto, have been filed in the
manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) and any other material
required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d), shall have been
filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such
filings by Rule 433; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or any notice objecting to its use shall have been issued
and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened.

(ii) There shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a
prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise),
earnings, business or properties of the Company, the Guarantor and their
respective subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from
transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or
contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and any Pricing
Supplements (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any
case referred to above, is, in the sole judgment of the Lead Agent after
consultation with the Company, so material and adverse as to make it impractical
or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Notes as
contemplated by the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, except, in the case
of any purchase of Notes by any Agent as principal, as disclosed to such Agent
in writing by the Company and the Guarantor before the Company accepted the
offer to purchase such Notes.

(iii) There shall not have occurred any (x) suspension or material limitation
of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, or any
setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange, or any suspension of
trading of the Guarantor153s common stock by the Commission or the New York Stock
Exchange, (y) declaration of a general moratorium on commercial banking
activities by either federal or New York state authorities or exchange controls
shall have been imposed by the United States or (z) any outbreak or escalation
of hostilities, any declaration by the United States of war or national
emergency or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets
is such to as to make it, in the Lead Agent153s sole judgment, after consultation
with the Company, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of
the Notes as contemplated by the relevant Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, except, in the case of any purchase of Notes by any Agent as
principal, for any such event occurring before the Company accepted the offer to
purchase such Notes.

16


(iv) There shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the
Company153s or the Guarantor153s senior or subordinated debt securities by any
“nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes
of Rule 436(g)) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any
such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate
the direction of the possible change, except as disclosed to the Agents in
writing by the Company and the Guarantor before the Company accepted the offer
to purchase such Notes.

(b) On the Commencement Date and, if called for by any Terms Agreement on the
corresponding Settlement Date:

(i) The Company and the Guarantor shall have furnished to the Agents such
customary opinion or opinions of the Associate General Counsel : Capital Markets
& Corporate Reporting of the Guarantor (or other counsel for the Company
and/or the Guarantor reasonably acceptable to the Lead Agent) on the
Commencement Date as the Agents may reasonably require, and, on the Settlement
Date will furnish such customary opinion or opinions of the Associate General
Counsel : Capital Markets & Corporate Reporting of the Guarantor (or other
counsel for the Company and/or the Guarantor reasonably acceptable to the

Agreement, such customary opinion or opinions of other counsel, dated the

Agent, the Company and the Guarantor), such customary opinion or opinions dated
the Commencement Date or the Settlement Date, as the case may be, as the Agents
may reasonably require.

(iii) The Company and the Guarantor shall have furnished to the Agents a
certificate of the Company and the Guarantor, signed by (A) on behalf of the
Company:the Chairman, the President or any Vice President and by the Treasurer,
any Assistant Treasurer, the Controller, the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary and (B) on behalf of the Guarantor:the Chairman, any Vice Chairman,
the President, any Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Accounting
Officer, the General Counsel, the Controller or any Deputy Controller and by the
Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary (or
another officer or officers acceptable to the Lead Agent), dated the
Commencement Date or the Settlement Date, as the case may be, to the effect that
each signatory of such certificate has carefully examined the Registration
Statement, as amended as of the date of such certificate, the Prospectuses, as
amended and supplemented as of the date of such certificate, the Disclosure
Package and this Agreement and that: the respective representations and
warranties of the Company and the Guarantor in this Agreement are true and
correct on and as of the date of such certificate with the same effect as if
made on the date of such certificate and the Company and the Guarantor have
complied in all material respects with all the respective agreements and
satisfied all the conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied as a
condition to the obligations of the Agents under this Agreement; no stop order

17


suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any notice
objecting to its use has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have
been instituted or, to their knowledge, have been threatened or communicated by
the Commission to the Company or the Guarantor as being contemplated by it under
the Securities Act; and since the date of the most recent financial statements
included in the relevant Prospectus or the Disclosure Package, each as amended
and supplemented, there has been no material adverse change in the consolidated
financial condition or results of operations of the Guarantor and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which is not disclosed in the relevant
Prospectus or the Disclosure Package, as amended or supplemented.

(iv) KPMG LLP or another nationally recognized independent registered public
accounting firm shall have furnished to the Agents a letter or letters, dated
the Commencement Date or the Settlement Date, as the case may be, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents.

(v) The Company and the Guarantor shall have furnished to each Agent such
appropriate further information, certificates and documents as such Agent may
reasonably request.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 5 shall be delivered
at the office of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, counsel for the
Agents, at One Liberty Plaza, New York, New York 10006, on the Commencement Date
or the Settlement Date, as the case may be.

6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and the Guarantor
agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, the directors, officers,
employees and agents of each Agent and each person who controls any Agent within
the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of your
affiliates within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act against any
and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they
or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement for the
registration of the Notes as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in
the Base Prospectus, any prospectus supplement, any preliminary or final Pricing
Supplement or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse
each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company and the Guarantor will not be liable in any such case to the extent that
any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by any Agent specifically
for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which the Company and the Guarantor may otherwise have.

18


(b) Each Agent severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and the Guarantor, each of their respective directors, each
of their respective officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each
person who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of either
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity from the Company and the Guarantor to each Agent, but only with
reference to written information relating to such Agent furnished to the Company
or the Guarantor by such Agent specifically for inclusion in the documents
referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability that any Agent may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof;
but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from
liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not
otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the
indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any
event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified
party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b)
above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the
indemnifying party153s choice at the indemnifying party153s expense to represent the
indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which
case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and
expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties
except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be
satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party153s
election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including
local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs
and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the
indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel
with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or
targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within
a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the
indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will
not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending
or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action)
unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release
of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action,
suit or proceeding.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of
this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party for any reason, the Company, the Guarantor and the Agents severally agree
to contribute to the aggregate losses,

19


claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively
Losses“) to which the Company, the Guarantor and one or more of the
Agents may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and
by the Agents on the other from the offering of the Notes; provided, however,
that in no case shall (i) any Agent (except as may be provided in any agreement
among Agents relating to the offering of the Notes) be responsible for any
amount in excess of the discount or commission applicable to the Notes purchased
by such Agent hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding
sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company, the Guarantor and the
Agents severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the
Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and of the Agents on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the
Company and the Guarantor shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds
from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and
benefits received by the Agents shall be deemed to be equal to the total
discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth in the Pricing Supplement.
Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the
Company and the Guarantor on the one hand or the Agents on the other, the intent
of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The
Company, the Guarantor and the Agents agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this
Section 6, each person who controls an Agent within the meaning of either the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and
agent of an Agent shall have the same rights to contribution as such Agent, and
each person who controls the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, within the
meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the
Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, who shall have signed the Registration
Statement and each director of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable,
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or the Guarantor, as
applicable, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this
paragraph (d).

EXHIBIT A

CITIGROUP FUNDING INC.

Medium-Term Notes, Series D and Series E, Administrative
Procedures

August 26, 2011

The Medium-Term Notes, Series D (the “Series D Notes“) and Medium-Term
Notes, Series E (the “Series E Notes,” and, together with the Series D
Notes, the “Notes“) of Citigroup Funding Inc. (the “Company“), any
payments due on which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by (the
Guarantee“) Citigroup Inc. (the “Guarantor“), are to be offered
on a continuing basis. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. has agreed, as agent, to
solicit purchases of Notes issued in fully registered form. (The term
Agent” when used in these Administrative Procedures, means Citigroup
Global Markets Inc.) The Agent will not be obligated to purchase Notes for its
own account. The Notes are being sold pursuant to a Global Selling Agency
Agreement among the Company, the Guarantor, and the agents named therein
(including the Agent) dated the date hereof (the “Agency Agreement“). The
Notes have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
Commission“). The Bank of New York Mellon is the successor trustee under
the Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2005, under which the Series D Notes will be
issued (the “Senior Debt Indenture“). Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas is the trustee (together with The Bank of New York Mellon, the
Trustees“) under the Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2005, under which
the Series E Notes will be issued (the “Subordinated Debt Indenture,”
and, together with the Senior Debt Indenture, the “Indentures“). The
Series D Notes will constitute part of the senior debt of the Company and will
rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the Company.
The Guarantee of the Series D Notes will constitute part of the senior debt of
the Guarantor and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated
debt of the Guarantor. The Series E Notes will be subordinate and junior in the
right of payment to all Citigroup Funding Senior Indebtedness, to the extent and
in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Debt Indenture. The Guarantee of the
Series E Notes will be subordinate and junior in the right of payment to all
Citigroup Senior Indebtedness, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the
Subordinated Debt Indenture.

The Agency Agreement provides that Notes may also be purchased by the Agent
acting solely as principal and not as agent. In the event of any such purchase,
the functions of both the Agent and the beneficial owner under the
administrative procedures set forth below shall be performed by the Agent acting
solely as principal, unless otherwise agreed to between the Company, the
Guarantor and the Agent acting as principal.

Each Note will be represented by either a Global Security (as defined
hereinafter) or a certificate delivered to the Holder thereof or a Person
designated by such Holder (a “Certificated Note“). Each Global Security
representing Series D Notes will be delivered to Citibank, N.A., and each Global
Security representing Series E Notes will be delivered to Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas, each acting as agent for The Depository Trust Company or any
successor depositary selected by the Company (“DTC“, which term, as used
herein, includes any successor depositary selected by the Company), and will be
recorded in the

A-1


book-entry system maintained by DTC (a “Book-Entry Note“). An owner of
a Book-Entry Note will not be entitled to receive a certificate representing
such Note.

The procedures to be followed during, and the specific terms of, the
solicitation of orders by the Agent and the sale as a result thereof by the
Company are explained below. Administrative and record-keeping responsibilities
will be handled for the Company by its Treasury Department. The Company will
advise the Agent and the Trustees in writing of those persons handling
administrative responsibilities with whom the Agent and the Trustees are to
communicate regarding orders to purchase Notes and the details of their
delivery. The term “Trustees” as used in these procedures means the
Trustees and any other agents appointed by the Trustees or the Company.

Administrative procedures and specific terms of the offering are explained
below. Book-Entry Notes will be issued in accordance with the administrative
procedures set forth in Part I hereof, as adjusted in accordance with changes in
DTC153s operating requirements, and Certificated Notes will be issued in
accordance with the administrative procedures set forth in Part II hereof.
Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Indentures, the Agency
Agreement, the Notes or the Prospectus Supplement relating to the Notes shall be
used herein as therein defined. Notes for which interest is calculated on the
basis of a fixed interest rate, which may be zero, are referred to herein as
Fixed Rate Notes“. Notes for which interest is calculated on the basis
of a floating interest rate are referred to herein as “Floating Rate
Notes
“. To the extent the procedures set forth below conflict with the
provisions of the Notes, the Indentures, DTC153s operating requirements or the
Agency Agreement, the relevant provisions of the Notes, the Indentures, DTC153s
operating requirements and the Agency Agreement shall control.

PART I

Administrative Procedures for
Book-Entry Notes

In connection with the qualification of the Book-Entry Notes for eligibility
in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, Citibank, N.A. and Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas (together, the “DTC Agents“) will perform the
custodial, document control and administrative functions described below for the
Series D Notes and the Series E Notes, respectively. Citibank, N.A. will perform
such functions in accordance with its respective obligations under a Letter of
Representations from the Company and Citibank, N.A. to DTC dated as of the date
hereof and a Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement between Citibank, N.A. and
DTC, dated as of October 31, 1988 and as amended to date, and its obligations as
a participant in DTC, including DTC153s Same-Day Funds Settlement system
(“SDFS“). Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will perform such
functions in accordance with its respective obligations under a Letter of
Representations from the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to DTC
to be executed on a future date and a Certificate Agreement between DTC and
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, dated as of December 5, 1997 and as
amended to date, and its obligations as a participant in DTC, including DTC153s
SDFS.

A-2


Issuance:

On any date of settlement (as defined under “Settlement” below) for
one or more Book-Entry Notes, the Company will issue a single global security in
fully registered form without coupons (a “Global Security“) representing
up to U.S $500,000,000 principal amount of all such Book-Entry Notes of the same
Series that have the same Original Issue Date, Original Issue Discount
provisions, if any, Interest Payment Dates, Regular Record Dates, Interest
Payment Period, redemption repayment and extension provisions, if any, Stated
Maturity, and, in the case of Fixed Rate Notes, interest rate, and amortization
schedule, if any, or, in the case of Floating Rate Notes, Initial Interest Rate,
Base Rate, Index Maturity, Interest Reset Period, Interest Reset Dates, Spread
and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, Minimum Interest Rate, if any, and Maximum
Interest Rate, if any and, in each case, any other relevant terms (collectively,
the “Terms“). Each Global Security will be dated and issued as of the
date of its settlement. Each Global Security will bear an Original Issue Date,
which will be (i) with respect to an original Global Security (or any portion
thereof), the Original Issue Date specified in such Global Security and (ii)
following a consolidation of Global Securities, with respect to the Global
Security resulting from such consolidation, the most recent Interest Payment
Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the predecessor
Global Securities, regardless of the date of authentication of such resulting
Global Security. No Global Security will represent (i) both Fixed Rate and
Floating Rate Book-Entry Notes, (ii) any Certificated Note, or (iii) both Series
D Notes and Series E Notes.

Identification Numbers:

The Company has arranged with the CUSIP Service Bureau of Standard &
Poor153s Ratings Services (the “CUSIP Service Bureau“) for the reservation
of two Series of CUSIP numbers, one for Series D Notes and one for Series E
Notes, each of which series consists of approximately 900 CUSIP numbers and
relates to Global Securities representing Book-Entry Notes and book-entry
medium-term notes issued by the Company with other Series designations. The DTC
Agents, the Company and DTC have obtained from the CUSIP Service Bureau a
written list of such reserved CUSIP numbers. The DTC Agents will assign CUSIP
numbers to Global Securities as described below under Settlement Procedure “B”.
DTC will notify the CUSIP Service Bureau periodically of the CUSIP numbers that
the DTC Agents have assigned to Global Securities. Each DTC Agent will notify
the Company at any time when fewer than 100 of the reserved CUSIP numbers remain
unassigned to Global Securities, and, if it deems necessary, the Company will
reserve additional CUSIP numbers for assignment to Global Securities. Upon
obtaining such additional CUSIP numbers, the Company shall deliver a list of
such additional CUSIP numbers to either or both DTC Agents, as

A-3


needed, and to DTC.

Registration:

Global Securities will be issued only in fully registered form without
coupons. Each Global Security will be registered in the name of CEDE & CO.,
as nominee for DTC, on the securities register for the Notes (the
Securities Register“) maintained under the Indentures. The beneficial
owner of a Book-Entry Note (or one or more indirect participants in DTC
designated by such owner) will designate one or more participants in DTC (with
respect to such Book-Entry Note, the “Participants“) to act as agent or
agents for such owner in connection with the book-entry system maintained by
DTC, and DTC will record in book-entry form, in accordance with instructions
provided by such Participants, a credit balance with respect to such beneficial
owner in such Book-Entry Note in the account of such Participants. The ownership
interest of such beneficial owner (or such participant) in such Book-Entry Note
will be recorded through the records of such Participants or through the
separate records of such Participants and one or more indirect participants in
DTC.

Transfers:

Transfers of a Book-Entry Note will be accomplished by book entries made by
DTC and, in turn, by Participants (and in certain cases, one or more indirect
participants in DTC) acting on behalf of beneficial transferors and transferees
of such Note.

Exchanges:

Each DTC Agent may deliver to DTC and the CUSIP Service Bureau at any time a
written notice of consolidation (a copy of which shall be attached to the
resulting Global Security described below) specifying (i) the CUSIP numbers of
two or more outstanding Global Securities that represent (A) Fixed Rate
Book-Entry Notes of the same Series Dnd having the same Terms and for which
interest has been paid to the same date or (B) Floating Rate Book-Entry Notes of
the same Series Dnd having the same Terms and for which interest has been paid
to the same date, (ii) a date, occurring at least thirty days after such written
notice is delivered and at least thirty days before the next Interest Payment
Date for such Book-Entry Notes, on which such Global Securities shall be
exchanged for a single replacement Global Security and (iii) a new CUSIP number
to be assigned to such replacement Global Security. Upon receipt of such a
notice, DTC will send to its participants (including the DTC Agent for such
replacement Global Security) a written reorganization notice to the effect that
such exchange will occur on such date. Prior to the specified exchange date,
such DTC Agent will deliver to the CUSIP Service Bureau a written notice setting
forth such exchange date and such new CUSIP number and stating that, as of such
exchange date, the CUSIP numbers of the Global Securities to be exchanged will
no longer be valid. On the specified exchange date, such DTC Agent will exchange
such Global Securities for a single Global Security bearing the new CUSIP number
and a new Original Issue Date, which

A-4


shall be the last date to which interest has been paid on the underlying
Book-Entry Notes, and the CUSIP numbers of the exchanged Global Securities will,
in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be canceled and not
immediately reassigned. Upon such exchange, the DTC Agent will mark the
predecessor Global Security “canceled”, make appropriate entries in the DTC
Agent153s records and destroy such canceled Global Security in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Global Securities to be exchanged exceed
U.S $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, one Global Security will be
authenticated and issued to represent each U.S. $500,000,000 of principal amount
of the exchanged Global Securities and an additional Global Security will be
authenticated and issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such
Global Securities (see “Denominations” below).

Maturities:

Each Book-Entry Note will mature on a date nine months or more after the
issue date for such Note, except in the case of indexed Notes, for which the
maturity may be shorter. A Floating Rate Book-Entry Note will mature only on an
Interest Payment Date for such Note. Any Note denominated in Japanese yen will
mature on a date not less than one year from the Original Issue Date (as defined
below) for such Note. Any Note denominated in Pounds Sterling will mature on a
date not less than one year, nor more than five years, after its Original Issue
Date.

Denominations:

Unless otherwise agreed to by the Company, Book-Entry Notes will be issued in
principal amounts of U.S.$1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an
integral multiple of U.S.$1,000. If Book-Entry Notes are denominated in a
Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, the denominations of such Notes will
be determined pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Pricing Supplement.
Global Securities will be denominated in principal amounts not in excess of
U.S.$500,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof). If one or more Book-Entry Notes
having an aggregate principal amount in excess of U.S.$500,000,000 (or the
equivalent thereof) would, but for the preceding sentence, be represented by a
single Global Security, then one Global Security will be authenticated and
issued to represent each U.S.$500,000,000 principal amount (or the equivalent
thereof) of such Book-Entry Note or Notes and an additional Global Security will
be authenticated and issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such
Book-Entry Note or Notes. In such a case, each of the Global Securities
representing such Book-Entry Note or Notes shall be assigned the same CUSIP
number.

A-5


Notice of Redemption Dates:

Each DTC Agent will, with respect to the Notes for which it is Trustee, give
notice to DTC prior to each Redemption Date (as specified in the Note) if any at
the time and in the manner set forth in the Letter.

Interest:

General. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing
Supplement, interest, if any, on each Book-Entry Note will accrue from the
Original Issue Date (or such other date on which interest otherwise begins to
accrue, if different than the Original Issue Date) of the Global Security
representing such Book-Entry Note for the first interest period or the last date
to which interest has been paid, if any, for each subsequent interest period, on
the Global Security representing such Book-Entry Note, and will be calculated
and paid in the manner and on the Interest Payment Dates described in such
Book-Entry Note and in the Prospectus (as defined in the Agency Agreement), as
supplemented by the applicable Pricing Supplement. Each payment of interest on a
Book-Entry Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest
Payment Date; provided that in the case of Floating Rate Notes that reset daily
or weekly, interest payments will include interest accrued to but excluding the
next preceding Regular Record Date, except that at stated Maturity, the interest
payable will include interest accrued to, but excluding, the Maturity. Interest
payable at the Maturity of a Book-Entry Note will be payable to the Person to
whom the principal of such Note is payable.

Standard & Poor153s Ratings Services will use the information received in
the pending deposit message described under Settlement Procedure “C” below in
order to include the amount of any interest payable and certain other
information regarding the related Global Security in the appropriate (daily or
weekly) bond report published by Standard & Poor153s Ratings Services.

Regular Record Dates. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable
Pricing Supplement, the Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment
Date for a Floating-Rate Note, Fixed Rate Note or Indexed Rate Note shall be the
date (whether or not a Business Day) fifteen calendar days immediately preceding
such Interest Payment Date.

Payments of Principal and Interest:

Payment of Interest Only. Promptly after each Regular Record Date,
the DTC Agent for each Global Security will deliver to the Company and DTC a
written notice setting forth, by CUSIP number, the amount of interest to be paid
on each Global Security on the following Interest Payment Date (other than an
Interest Payment Date coinciding with Maturity) and the total of such amounts.
DTC will confirm the amount payable on each Global Security on such Interest

A-6


Payment Date by reference to the appropriate (daily or weekly) bond reports
published by Standard & Poor153s Ratings Services. The Company will pay to the
Trustee for the Notes represented by such Global Security the total amount of
interest due on such Interest Payment Date (other than at Maturity), and such
Trustee will pay such amount to DTC at the times and in the manner set forth
below under “Manner of Payment”. If any Interest Payment Date for a Book-Entry
Note is not a Business Day, the payment due on such day shall be made on the
next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue as a result of such
delayed payment.

Payments at Maturity or Upon Redemption. On or about the first
Business Day of each month, each DTC Agent will, with respect to the Global
Securities for which it acts as DTC Agent, deliver to the Company, DTC and the
applicable Trustee a written list of principal and interest to be paid on each
Global Security maturing either at Maturity or on a Redemption Date in the
following month. The DTC Agent for each Global Security, the Company and DTC
will confirm the amounts of such principal and interest payments with respect to
each such Global Security on or about the fifth Business Day preceding the
Maturity Date or Redemption Date of such Global Security. On or before such
Maturity or Redemption, the Company will pay to the Trustee for the Notes
represented by such Global Security the principal amount of such Global
Security, together with interest due at such Maturity. Such Trustee will pay
such amount to DTC at the times and in the manner set forth below under “Manner
of Payment”. If any Maturity of a Global Security representing Book-Entry Notes
is not a Business Day, the payment due on such day shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the
period from and after such Maturity Date or Redemption Date. Promptly after
payment to DTC of the principal and interest due on the Maturity Date or on the
Redemption Date of such Global Security, the Trustee for such Global Security
will cancel and destroy such Global Security in accordance with the applicable
Indenture and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company.

Manner of Payment. The total amount of any principal and interest
due on Global Securities on any Interest Payment Date or at Maturity or upon
redemption shall be paid by the Company to the Trustee for the Notes represented
by such Global Security in immediately available funds no later than 9:30 A.M.
(New York City time) on such date. The Company will make such payment on such
Global Securities by instructing such Trustee to withdraw funds from an account
maintained by the Company with the DTC Agent for the Notes represented by such
Global Securities. The Company will confirm any such instructions in writing to
such Trustee. Prior to

A-7


10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Maturity Date or as soon as possible
thereafter, such Trustee will pay by separate wire transfer (using Fedwire
message entry instructions in a form previously specified by DTC) to an account
at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York previously specified by DTC, in funds
available for immediate use by DTC, each payment of principal (together with
interest thereon) due on a Global Security on such Maturity Date or Redemption
Date. On each Interest Payment Date (other than at Maturity), interest payments
shall be made to DTC, in same day funds, in accordance with existing
arrangements between the relevant DTC Agent and DTC. On each such date, DTC will
pay, in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect, such
amounts in funds available for immediate use to the respective Participants in
whose names the Book-Entry Notes represented by such Global Securities are
recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC. None of the Company (as
issuer or as paying agent), the Guarantor, the Trustee or such DTC Agent shall
have any direct responsibility or liability for the payment by DTC to such
Participants of the principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Notes. If an
issue of Notes is denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, the
Company will make payments of principal and any interest in the currency in
which the Notes are denominated (the “foreign currency“) or in U.S.
dollars. DTC has elected to have all such payments of principal and interest in
U.S. dollars unless notified by any of its Participants through which an
interest in the Notes is held that it elects, in accordance with and to the
extent permitted by the applicable Pricing Supplement and the Note, to receive
such payment of principal or interest in the foreign currency. On or prior to
the third Business Day after the record date for payment of interest and twelve
days prior to the date for payment of principal, such Participant shall notify
DTC of (i) its election to receive all, or the specified portion, of such
payment in the foreign currency and (ii) its instructions for wire transfer of
such payment to a foreign currency account.

DTC will notify the applicable Trustee on or prior to the fifth

A-8


business day after the record date for payment of interest and ten days prior
to the date for payment of principal of the portion of such payment to be
received in the foreign currency and the applicable wire transfer instructions,
and the applicable Trustee shall use such instructions to pay the Participants
directly. If DTC does not so notify the applicable Trustee, it is understood
that only U.S. dollar payments are to be made. The applicable Trustee shall
notify DTC on or prior to the second Business Day prior to payment date of the
conversion rate to be used and the resulting U.S. dollar amount to be paid per
U.S.$1,000 face amount. In the event that the applicable Trustee153s quotation to
convert the foreign currency into U.S. dollars is not available, the applicable
Trustee shall notify DTC153s Dividend Department that the entire payment is to be
made in the foreign currency. In such event, DTC will ask its Participants for
payment instructions and forward such instructions to the applicable Trustee and
the applicable Trustee shall use such instructions to pay the Participants
directly.

Withholding Taxes. The amount of any taxes required under applicable
law to be withheld from any interest payment on a Book-Entry Note will be
determined and withheld by the Participant, indirect participant in DTC or other
Person responsible for forwarding payments and materials directly to the
beneficial owner of such Note.

Procedures upon Company153s Exercise of Optional Reset or Optional Extension of
Maturity:

Company Notice to Trustee regarding Exercise of Optional Reset. Not

by, Book-Entry Notes that may be sold as a result of the solicitation of orders
by the Agent. If the Company decides to set prices of, and rates borne by, any
Book-Entry Notes in respect of which the Agent is to solicit orders (the setting
of such prices and rates to be referred to herein as “posting“) or if the
Company decides to change prices or rates previously posted by it, it will
promptly advise the Agent of the prices and rates to be posted.

Acceptance and Rejection of Orders:

Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Agent will advise the Company
promptly by telephone or other means of electronic communication of all orders
to purchase Book-Entry Notes received by the Agent, other than those rejected by
it in whole or in part in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. Unless
otherwise agreed by the Company and the Agent, the Company has the right to
accept orders to purchase Book-Entry Notes and may reject any such orders in
whole or in part.

Preparation of Pricing Supplement:

If any order to purchase a Book-Entry Note is accepted by or on behalf of the
Company, the Company will prepare a pricing supplement (a “Pricing
Supplement
“) reflecting the terms of such Book-Entry Note, will file such
Pricing Supplement with the Commission in accordance with the applicable

Suspension of Solicitation; Amendment or Supplement:

Subject to the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and
the Guarantor contained in the Agency Agreement, the Company may instruct the
Agent to suspend at any time, for any period of time or permanently, the
solicitation of orders to purchase Book-Entry Notes. Upon receipt of such
instructions, the Agent will forthwith suspend solicitation until such time as
the Company has advised it that such solicitation may be resumed.

In the event that at the time the Company suspends solicitation of purchases
there shall be any orders outstanding for settlement, the Company will promptly
advise the Agent, the Trustees and the DTC Agents whether such orders may be
settled and whether copies of the Prospectus as in effect at the time of the
suspension, together with the appropriate Pricing Supplement (or the notice
provided for in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act, if applicable), may be
delivered in connection with the settlement of such orders. The Company will
have the sole responsibility for such decision and for any arrangements that may
be made in the event that the Company determines that such orders may not be
settled or that copies of such Prospectus (or the notice provided for in Rule
173(a) under the Securities Act, if applicable) may not be so delivered.

Delivery of Prospectus:

A copy of the Prospectus and a Pricing Supplement relating to a Book-Entry
Note must accompany or precede the earliest of any written offer of such
Book-Entry Note, confirmation of the purchase of such Book-Entry Note and
payment for such Book-Entry Note by its purchaser. If notice of a change in the
terms of the Book-Entry Notes is received by the Agent between the time an order
for a Book-Entry Note is placed and the time written confirmation thereof is
sent by the Agent to a customer or his agent, such confirmation shall be
accompanied by a Prospectus and Pricing Supplement setting forth the terms in
effect when the order was placed. Unless the Agents comply with the requirements
of Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act, the Agent will deliver a Prospectus and
Pricing Supplement as herein described with respect to each Book-Entry Note sold
by it. Unless the Agents comply with the requirements of Rule 173(a) under the
Securities Act, the Company will make such delivery if such Book-Entry Note is
sold directly by the Company to a purchaser (other than the Agent).

If a sale is to be settled more than one Business Day after the sale date,
Settlement Procedures “A”, “B” and “C” shall be completed as soon as practicable
but no later than 11:00 A.M., 12:00 Noon and 2:00 P.M., respectively, on the
first Business Day after the sale date. If the Initial Interest Rate for a
Floating Rate Book-Entry Note has not been determined at the time that
Settlement Procedure “A” is completed, Settlement Procedures “B” and “C” shall
be completed as soon as such rate has been determined but no later than 12:00
Noon and 2:00 P.M., respectively, on the Business Day before the settlement
date. Settlement Procedure “I” is subject to extension in accordance with any
extension of Fedwire closing deadlines and in the other events specified in SDFS
operating procedures in effect on the settlement date.

If settlement of a Book-Entry Note is rescheduled or canceled, the DTC Agent
for such Book-Entry Note, after receiving notice from the Company or the Agent,
will deliver to DTC, through DTC153s Participant Terminal System, a cancellation
message to such effect by no later than 2:00 P.M. on the Business Day
immediately preceding the scheduled settlement date.

Failure to Settle:

If settlement of a Book-Entry Note is rescheduled and the DTC Agent for such
Book-Entry Note has not entered an SDFS deliver order with respect to a
Book-Entry Note pursuant to Settlement Procedure “G”, after receiving notice
from the Company or the Agent, such DTC Agent shall deliver to DTC, through
DTC153s Participant Terminal System, as soon as practicable, a withdrawal message
instructing DTC to debit such Book-Entry Note to such DTC Agent153s participant
account. DTC will process the withdrawal message, provided that such DTC Agent153s
participant account contains a principal amount of the Global Security
representing such Book-Entry Note that is at least equal to the principal amount
to be debited. If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to all the
Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Security, the Trustee for the Notes
represented by such Global Security will mark such Global Security “canceled”,
make appropriate entries in its records and destroy such canceled Global
Security in accordance with the applicable Indenture and deliver a certificate
of destruction to the Company. The CUSIP number assigned to such Global Security
shall, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be

A-18


canceled and not immediately reassigned.

If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to one or more, but not
all, of the Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Security, the DTC Agent for
such Book-Entry Notes will exchange such Global Security for two Global
Securities, one of which shall represent such Book-Entry Notes and shall be
canceled immediately after issuance and the other of which shall represent the
other Book-Entry Notes previously represented by the surrendered Global Security
and shall bear the CUSIP number of the surrendered Global Security.

If the purchase price for any Book-Entry Note is not timely paid to the
Participants with respect to such Book-Entry Note by the beneficial purchaser
thereof (or a Person, including an indirect participant in DTC, acting on behalf
of such purchaser), such Participants and, in turn, the Presenting Agent may
enter SDFS deliver orders through DTC153s Participant Terminal System reversing
the orders entered pursuant to Settlement Procedures “H” and “G”, respectively.
Thereafter, the DTC Agent for such Book-Entry Note will deliver the withdrawal
message and take the related actions described in the preceding paragraph. If
such failure shall have occurred for any reason other than a default by the
Agent in the performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Agency
Agreement, then the Company will reimburse the Agent for the loss of the use of
the funds during the period when they were credited to the account of the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any failure to settle with respect
to a Book-Entry Note, DTC may take any actions in accordance with its SDFS
operating procedures then in effect. In the event of a failure to settle with
respect to one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Notes to have been
represented by a Global Security, the DTC Agent for such Book-Entry Note or
Notes will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedures “E” and “G”, for
the authentication and issuance of a Global Security representing the other
Book-Entry Notes to have been represented by such Global Security and will make
appropriate entries in its records.

Trustees Not to Risk Funds:

Nothing herein shall be deemed to require either Trustee to risk or expend
its own funds in connection with any payment to the Company, DTC, the Agent or
the purchaser, it being understood by all parties that payments made by either
Trustee to the Company, DTC, the Agent or the purchaser shall be made only to
the extent that funds are provided to such Trustee for such purpose.

Authenticity of Signatures:

The Company will cause each of the Trustees to furnish the Agent from time to
time with the specimen signatures of each of such Trustee153s officers, employees
or agents who has been authorized by

A-19


such Trustee to authenticate Book-Entry Notes, but the Agent will not have
any obligation or liability to the Company or the Trustee in respect of the
authenticity of the signature of any officer, employee or agent of the Company
or such Trustee on any Book-Entry Note.

Payment of Expenses:

The Agent shall forward to the Company, on a monthly basis, a statement of
the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Agent during that month that are
reimbursable to it pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement. The Company
will remit payment to the Agent currently on a monthly basis.

Advertising Costs:

The Company will determine with the Agents the amount of advertising that may
be appropriate in soliciting offers to purchase the Book-Entry Notes.
Advertising expenses will be paid by the Company.

PART II

Administrative Procedures for Certificated Notes

Each Trustee will serve as registrar and transfer agent in connection with
the Certificated Notes for which it serves as Trustee.

Issuance:

Each Certificated Note will be dated and issued as of the date of its
authentication by the applicable Trustee. Each Certificated Note will bear an
Original Issue Date, which will be (i) with respect to an original Certificated
Note (or any portion thereof), its original issuance date (which will be the
settlement date) and (ii) with respect to any Certificated Note (or portion
thereof) issued subsequently upon transfer or exchange of a Certificated Note or
in lieu of a destroyed, lost or stolen Certificated Note, the Original Issue
Date of the predecessor Certificated Note, regardless of the date of
authentication of such subsequently issued Certificated Note.

Registration:

Certificated Notes will be issued only in fully registered form without
coupons.

Maturities:

Each Certificated Note will mature on a date nine months or more after the
issue date for such Note, except in the case of indexed Notes, for which the
maturity may be shorter. A Floating Rate Certificated Note will mature only on
an Interest Payment Date for such Note. Any Note denominated in Japanese yen
will mature on a date not less than one year from the Original Issue Date (as
defined below) for such Note. Any Note denominated in Pounds Sterling will
mature on a date not less than one year, nor more than five years, after its
Original Date.

A-20


Currency:

The Specified Currency for a Certificated Note shall be as set forth therein
and in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

Denominations:

Unless otherwise agreed to by the Company, the denomination of any
Certificated Note denominated in U.S. dollars will be a minimum of $1,000 or any
amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000. The authorized
denominations of Certificated Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other
than U.S. dollars shall be determined as set forth in the applicable Pricing
Supplement.

Interest:

General. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing
Supplement, interest, if any, on each Certificated Note will accrue from the
Original Issue Date (or such other date on which interest otherwise begins to
accrue (if different from the Original Issue Date)) of such Note for the first
interest period or the last date to which interest has been paid, if any, for
each subsequent interest period, on such Note, and will be calculated and paid
in the manner and on the dates described in such Note and in the Prospectus, as
supplemented by the applicable Pricing Supplement. Unless otherwise specified
therein, each payment of interest on a Certificated Note will include interest
accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Date (provided that, in the case
of Certificated Notes which reset daily or weekly, interest payments will
include accrued interest to and including the next preceding Regular Record
Date), except that at stated Maturity, the interest payable will include
interest accrued to, but excluding, the stated Maturity (other than a Maturity
of a Fixed Rate Certificated Note occurring on the 31st day of a month, in which
case such payment of interest will include interest accrued to but excluding the
30th day of such month or the last day of the month in the case of February).

Regular Record Dates. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable
Pricing Supplement, the Regular Record Dates with respect to any Interest
Payment Date for a Fixed Rate Note, Floating Rate Note or Indexed Rate Note
shall be the date (whether or not a Business Day) fifteen calendar days
immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

Payments of Interest:

The applicable Trustee will pay the principal amount of each Certificated
Note at Maturity or upon redemption upon presentation and surrender of such
Note. Such payment, together with payment of interest due at Maturity or upon
redemption of such Note, will be made in funds available for immediate use by
such Trustee or paying agent and in turn by the holder of such Note.
Certificated Notes presented to such Trustee or paying agent at Maturity or upon
redemption for payment will be canceled and destroyed by such Trustee or paying
agent, and a certificate of destruction will be

A-21


delivered to the Company. All interest payments on a Certificated Note (other
than interest due at Maturity or upon redemption) will be made by check drawn on
such Trustee and mailed by such Trustee to the person entitled thereto as
provided in such Note and the Indenture; provided, however, that
the holder of U.S.$10,000,000 or more of Notes having the same Interest Payment
Dates will, upon written request prior to the Regular Record Date in respect of
an Interest Payment Date, be entitled to receive payment by wire transfer of
immediately available funds. Following each Regular Record Date, such Trustee or
paying agent will furnish the Company with a list of interest payments to be
made on the following Interest Payment Date for each Certificated Note and in
total for all Certificated Notes. Interest at Maturity or upon redemption will
be payable to the person to whom the payment of principal is payable. Such
Trustee or paying agent will provide monthly to the Company lists of principal
and interest, to the extent ascertainable, to be paid on Certificated Notes
maturing or to be redeemed in the next month.

Withholding Taxes. The amount of any taxes required under applicable
law to be withheld from any interest payment on a Certificated Note will be
determined and withheld by the applicable Trustee.

The Company will be responsible for withholding taxes on interest paid on
Certificated Notes as required by applicable law.

If any interest Payment Date for or the Maturity of a Certificated Note is
not a Business Day, the payment due on such day shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue on account of such delayed
payment.

Procedure for Rate Setting and Posting:

The Company and the Agent will discuss from time to time the aggregate
principal amount of, the issuance price of, and the interest rates to be borne
by, Notes that may be sold as a result of the solicitation of orders by the
Agent. If the Company decides to set prices of, and rates borne by, any Notes in
respect of which the Agent is to solicit orders (the setting of such prices and
rates to be referred to herein as “posting“) or if the Company decides to
change prices or rates previously posted by it, it will promptly advise the
Agent of the prices and rates to be posted.

Acceptance and Rejection of Orders:

Unless otherwise instructed by the Company, the Agent will advise the Company
promptly by telephone or other means of electronic communication of all orders
to purchase Certificated Notes received by the Agent, other than those rejected
by it in whole or in part in the reasonable exercise of its discretion. Unless
otherwise agreed by the Company and the Agent, the Company has the sole right to
accept orders to purchase Certificated Notes and may reject any such orders in
whole or in part. Before accepting any order to purchase a

A-22


Certificated Note to be settled in less than three Business Days, the Company
shall verify that the Trustee for such Certificated Note will have adequate time
to prepare and authenticate such Note.

Preparation of Pricing Supplement:

If any order to purchase a Certificated Note is accepted by or on behalf of
the Company, the Company will prepare a Pricing Supplement reflecting the terms
of such Certificated Note, will file such Pricing Supplement with the Commission
in accordance with the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Securities
Act, will deliver such number of copies thereof to the Agent as the Agent shall
request. If required, the Agent will file the Pricing Supplement with the FINRA
and will cause a Prospectus and Pricing Supplement to be delivered to the
purchaser of such Certificated Note or otherwise will comply with the
