ITEM 2.03.   CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.


(a)  On February 18, 2005, the registrant and its subsidiary First Tennessee Bank National Association (the “Bank”) entered into a $5 billion bank note program (the “Note Program”) with Goldman Sachs & Co., FTN Financial Securities Corp., and Credit Suisse First Boston (the “Agents”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as fiscal and paying agent and interest calculation agent. The primary legal contracts which govern the Note Program are filed as exhibits to this Current Report.


The Note Program provides the Bank with a facility under which it may continuously issue and offer short and medium term unsecured notes having maturities of 30 days or more. The Note Program allows the Bank to have up to $5 billion in principal amount of notes outstanding under the Program at any one time; however, under the Note Program, the Bank may not issue in the aggregate more than $5 billion in principal amount of notes having terms in excess of 270 days. The Note Program replaces an existing $3 billion program under which the Bank had nearly exhausted its ability to issue and sell longer-term notes. The old program has been terminated in connection with the establishment of the new Note Program. That termination does not affect any previously-issued notes outstanding under the old program.

 

Net proceeds from the notes are expected to be used by the Bank for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of its business.

 

The Note Program does not commit the Bank to issue any particular amount of notes with any particular terms. The registrant intends for the Note Program to provide the Bank with substantial flexibility in structuring various types of notes that may be issued and sold under the Program from time to time. Notes are to be issued in $250,000 minimum denominations to accredited institutional investors. Notes may bear interest at fixed or floating rates, or may pay no interest at all. Floating rate notes may pay interest based on any of several specified indices plus or minus a spread and/or multiplied by a spread multiplier. Notes may be issued at a discount from their redemption amounts. Notes may be denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Notes may provide for payments of principal, interest, or premium to be indexed by reference to the price of specified commodities or securities or currencies. Notes may provide for early redemption at the election of the Bank or the holder, or may provide the holder with the right to extend the maturity.

 

Notes may be issued singly or in series. The Note Program restricts the Bank’s right to offer notes through other agents, but (among other exceptions) Bank has reserved certain rights to offer notes without the assistance of the Agents and to offer notes through other agents on a non-continuous, firmly-underwritten basis. Commissions to be paid to the Agents may be negotiated for each notes issuance and are expected to vary with the maturity of the notes involved, among other things. A note or note series may, but need not be, subject to a separately negotiated “Terms Agreement.”

3.                  (a)            On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each of the Agents hereby severally and not jointly agrees, as an agent of the Bank, to use its reasonable efforts to solicit and receive offers to purchase the Securities from the Bank upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented from time to time.  So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to any Agent, except as provided below, the Bank shall not, without the consent of such Agent, solicit or accept offers to purchase, or sell, any debt securities (other than deposit obligations) with a maturity at the time of original issuance of 30 days or more except pursuant to this Agreement, any Terms Agreement or except in connection with a firm commitment underwriting pursuant to an underwriting agreement that does not provide for a continuous offering of medium-term debt securities.  However, the Bank reserves the right to sell, and may solicit and accept offers to purchase, Securities directly on its own behalf and, in the case of any such sale not resulting from a solicitation made by any Agent, no commission will be payable to any Agent with respect to such sale.  It is understood that if from time to time the Bank is approached by a prospective agent offering to solicit a specific purchase of Securities, the Bank may also engage such agent with respect to such specific purchase; provided that the Agents are given notice of such purch ase promptly, including the terms thereof, in

11

each case after the purchase is agreed; provided further, however, that such agent shall make in writing the representations and agreements of an Agent set forth herein and that the Bank and such agent shall otherwise agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  These provisions shall not limit Section 5(e) hereof or any similar provision included in any Terms Agreement.

The Bank 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 the Securities from the Bank.  As soon as practicable, but in any event not later than one Business Day after receipt of notice from the Bank, the Agents will suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Securities from the Bank until such time as the Bank has advised the Agents that such solicitation may be resumed.  As used in the previous sentence, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.  During such period the Bank shall not be required to comply with the provisions of Sections 5(g), 5(h), 5(i) and 5(j).  Upon advising the Agents that such solicitation may be resumed, however, the Bank shall simultaneously provide the documents required to be delivered by Sections 5(g), 5(h), 5(i) and 5(j), and the Agents shall have no obligation to solicit offers to purchase the Securities until such documents have been received by the Agents.  In addition, any failure by the Bank to comply with its obligations hereunder, including without limitation its obligations to deliver the documents required by Sections 5(g), 5(h), 5(i) and 5(j), shall automatically terminate the Agents’ obligations hereunder, including without limitation their obligations to solicit offers to purchase the Securities hereunder as agent or to purchase Securities hereunder as principal.

The Bank agrees to pay each Agent a commission, at the time of settlement of any sale of a Security by the Bank as a result of a solicitation made by such Agent, in an amount, except as otherwise agreed by the Bank and such Agent, equal to the following applicable percentage of the principal amount of such Security sold:

(xv) Such counsel has participated in the preparation of the Offering Circular and no facts have come to the attention of such counsel to lead such counsel to believe that the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented and any further amendments or supplements thereto made by the Bank prior to the date of such opinion (other than the financial statements and related schedules and other financial and statistical data therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) contained as of its date or contains as of the date of delivery of such opinion an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits, as the case may be, to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

24

(xix) Based on the Bank’s compliance with Section 16.6 of the Disclosure Rules, the Bank will be deemed to be in compliance with the registration statement and prospectus requirements of Section 16.3 of the Disclosure Rules in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities as contemplated by the Offering Circular, the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement and this Agreement.  In rendering the opinion called for in this subparagraph (xix), such counsel may assume that the Securities have been offered and sold only to institutional investors that are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the 1933 Act.

(c)                (i)            None of the Bank, the Holding Company or any of their respective Significant Subsidiaries shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented prior to the date of the pricing supplement relating to the Securities to be delivered at the relevant Time of Delivery any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in this Agreement and in the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented prior to the dat e of the pricing supplement relating to the Securities to be delivered at the relevant Time of Delivery and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented prior to the date of the pricing supplement relating to the Securities to be delivered at the relevant Time of Delivery there shall not have been any change in the capital stock (other than changes resulting from (w) any publicly disclosed stock repurchase program, stock splits or stock dividends, (x) issuances pursuant to the Holding Company’s dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plans, (y) issuances during a quarter of not more than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Holding Company in connection with an acquisition, and the repurchase of such shares or (z) any stock option exercises or grants under any employee or director stock or benefit plan) or any material change in long-term debt of the Bank, the Holding Company or any of their Significant Subsidiaries or any change, o r any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, shareholders equity or results of operations of the Bank, the Holding Company and their Significant Subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or

25

contemplated in the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented prior to the date of the pricing supplement relating to the Securities to be delivered at the relevant Time of Delivery, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in the judgment of such Agent so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the solicitation by such Agent of offers to purchase Securities from the Bank or the purchase by such Agent of Securities from the Bank as principal, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented prior to the date of the pricing supplement relating to the Securities to be delivered at the relevant Time of Delivery;

(h)                Not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Commencement Date and on each applicable date referred to in Section 5(j) hereof that is on or prior to such Solicitation Time or Time of Delivery, as the case may be, the independent certified public accountants who have audited the financial statements of the Holding Company, the Bank and their respective subsidiaries included in the Offering Circular shall have furnished to such Agent a letter or letters, dated the Commencement Date or such applicable date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information conta ined in the Offering Circular.

8.                           (a)            The Bank and the Holding Company jointly and severally will indemnify and hold harmless each Agent against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities joint or several to which such Agent may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or a material fact contained in the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such Agent for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Bank and the Holding Company shall 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 an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Bank by such Agent expressly for use therein.

27

(b)               Each Agent will indemnify and hold harmless the Bank and the Holding Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Bank or the Holding Company may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Bank by such Agent expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Bank and the Holding Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Bank or the Holding Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c)                Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection.  In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  No indemnifying party shall without the written consent of the indemnified party effect the settlement or compromise of or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnifi ed party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission or fault culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)               If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result or such losses claims damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits

28

received by the Bank and the Holding Company on the one hand and each Agent on the other from the offering of the Securities to which such loss claim damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates.  If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Bank and the Holding Company on the one hand and each Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses claims damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Bank and the Holding Company on the one hand and each Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Bank bear to the total commissions or discounts received by such Agent in respect thereof.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading relates to information supplied by the Bank or the Holding Company on the one hand or by any Agent on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Bank, the Holding Company and each Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by per capita allocation (even if all Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method or allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), an Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total offering price at which the Securities purchased by or through it were sold exceeds the amount of any damages which such Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  The obligations of each of the Agents under this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to the respective purchases made by or through it to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates and are not joint.

(e)                The obligations of the Bank and the Holding Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Bank and the Holding Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Agent within the meaning of the 1933 Act; and the obligations of each Agent under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which such Agent may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Bank and the Holding Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Bank or the Holding Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act.

29

9.                  Each Agent, in soliciting offers to purchase Securities from the Bank and in performing the other obligations of such Agent hereunder (other than in respect of any purchase by an Agent as principal, pursuant to a Terms Agreement or otherwise), is acting solely as agent for the Bank and not as principal.  Each Agent will make reasonable efforts to assist the Bank in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Securities from the Bank was solicited by such Agent and has been accepted by the Bank, but such Agent shall not have any liability to the Bank in the event such purchase is not consummated for any reason.  If the Bank shall default on its obligation to deliver Securities to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Bank shall (i) hold each Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Bank and (ii) notwithstanding such default, pay to the Agent that solicited such offer any commission to which it would be entitled in connection with such sale.

ANNEX II

First Tennessee Bank National Association

Administrative Procedure

February 18, 2005

This Administrative Procedure relates to the Securities defined in the Distribution Agreement, dated February 18, 2005 (the “Distribution Agreement”), among First Tennessee Bank National Association (the “Bank”), First Horizon National Corporation and Goldman, Sachs & Co., FTN Financial Securities Corp. and Credit Suisse First Boston LLC (together, the “Agents”), to which this Administrative Procedure is attached as Annex II.  Defined terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Distribution Agreement, the Offering Circular as amended or supplemented or the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement.

The procedures to be followed with respect to the settlement of sales of Securities directly by the Bank to purchasers solicited by an Agent, as agent, are set forth below.  The terms and settlement details related to a purchase of Securities by an Agent, as principal, from the Bank will be set forth in a Terms Agreement pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, unless the Bank and such Agent otherwise agree as provided in Section 3(b) of the Distribution Agreement, in which case the procedures to be followed in respect of the settlement of such sale will be as set forth below.  An Agent, in relation to a purchase of a Security by a purchaser solicited by such Agent, is referred to herein as the “Selling Agent” and, in relation to a purchase of a Security by such Agent as principal other than pursuant to a Terms Agreement, as the “Purchasing Agent”.< /p>

The Bank will advise each Agent in writing of those persons with whom such Agent is to communicate regarding offers to purchase Securities and the related settlement details.

Each Security will be issued only in fully registered form and will be represented by a global security (a “Global Security”) delivered to the Fiscal and Paying Agent, as agent for The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) and recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary (a “Book-Entry Security”).  Owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities will be entitled to physical delivery of Securities in certificated form (a “Certificated Security”) equal in principal amount to their respective beneficial interests only in certain limited circumstances described in the Offering Circular.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE FOR BOOK-ENTRY SECURITIES

In connection with the qualification of the Book-Entry Securities for eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary, the Fiscal and Paying Agent will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below, in accordance with its respective obligations under a Letter of Representation from the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent to the Depositary, dated the date hereof, and a Book-Entry-Only Money Market

II-1

Instrument (Master Note and/or Global Certificates) Program Certificate Agreement between the Fiscal and Paying Agent and the Depositary, dated as of [date] (the “Certificate Agreement”), and its obligations as a participant in the Depositary, including the Depositary’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System (“SDFS”).

Posting Rates by the Bank:

The Bank and the Agents will discuss from time to time the rates of interest per annum to be borne by and the maturity of Securities that may be sold as a result of the solicitation of offers by an Agent.  The Bank may establish a fixed set of interest rates and maturities for an offering period (“posting”).  If the Bank decides to change already posted rates, it will promptly advise the Agents to suspend solicitation of offers until the new posted rates have been established with the Agents.

Acceptance of Offers by the Bank:

Each Agent will promptly advise the Bank by telephone or other appropriate means of all reasonable offers to purchase Securities, other than those rejected by such Agent.  Each Agent may, in its discretion reasonably exercised, reject any offer received by it in whole or in part.  Each Agent also may make offers to the Bank to purchase Securities as a Purchasing Agent.  The Bank will have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Securities and may reject any such offer in whole or in part.

The Bank will promptly notify the Selling Agent or Purchasing Agent as the case may be of its acceptance or rejection of an offer to purchase Securities.  If the Bank accepts an offer to purchase Securities, it will confirm such acceptance in writing to the Selling Agent or Purchasing Agent, as the case may be, and the Fiscal and Paying Agent.

Communication of Sale Information to the Bank by Agent and Settlement Procedures:

A.                 After the acceptance of an offer by the Bank, the Selling Agent or Purchasing Agent, as the case may be, will communicate promptly, but in no event later than the time set forth under “Settlement Procedure Timetable” below, the following details of the terms of such offer (the “Sale Information”) to the Bank by telephone (confirmed in writing) or by facsimile transmission or other acceptable written means:

II-4

D.                 The Fiscal and Paying Agent will complete and authenticate the Global Security previously delivered by the Bank representing such Security.

E.                  The Depositary will credit such Security to the Fiscal and Paying Agent’s participant account at the Depositary.

F.                  The Fiscal and Paying Agent will enter an SDFS deliver order through the Depositary’s Participant Terminal System instructing the Depositary to (i) debit such Security to the Fiscal and Paying Agent’s participant account and credit such Security to such Agent’s participant account and (ii) debit such Agent settlement account and credit the Fiscal and Paying Agent’s settlement account for an amount equal to the price of such Security less such Agent’s commission.  The entry of such a deliver order shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Fiscal and Paying Agent to the Depositary that (a) the Global Security representing such Security has been issued and authenticated and (b) the Fiscal and Paying Agent is holding such Global Security pursuant to the Certificate Agreement.

G.                 Such Agent will enter an SDFS deliver order through the Depositary’s Participant Terminal System instructing the Depositary (i) to debit such Security to such Agent’s participant account and credit such Security to the participant accounts of the Participants with respect to such Security and (ii) to debit the settlement accounts of such Participants and credit the settlement account of such Agent for an amount equal to the price of such Security.

K.                Such Agent will confirm the purchase of such Security to the purchaser either by transmitting to the Participants with respect to such Security a confirmation order or orders through the Depositary’s institutional delivery system or by mailing a written confirmation to such purchaser.

L.                  The Depositary will, at any time, upon request of the Bank or the Fiscal and Paying Agent, promptly furnish to the Bank or the Fiscal and Paying Agent a list of the names and addresses of the participants for whom the Depositary has credited Securities.

If the Bank accepts an offer to purchase a Security it will prepare a pricing supplement reflecting the terms of such Security and arrange to have delivered to the Selling Agent or

II-5

If settlement of a Security is rescheduled or canceled, the Fiscal and Paying Agent, upon obtaining knowledge thereof, will deliver to the Depositary, through the Depositary’s 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 the Fiscal and Paying Agent fails to enter an SDFS deliver order with respect to a Security pursuant to Settlement Procedure “F,” the Fiscal and Paying Agent may deliver to the Depositary, through the Depositary’s Participant Terminal System, as soon as practicable a withdrawal message instructing the Depositary to debit such Security to the Fiscal and Paying Agent’s participant account, provided that the Fiscal and Paying Agent’s participant account contains a principal amount of the Global Security representing such Security that is at least equal to the principal amount to be debited.  If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to all the Securities represented by a Global Security, the Fiscal and Paying Agent will mark such

II-7

Global Security “canceled,” make appropriate entries in the Fiscal and Paying Agent’s records and send such canceled Global Security to the Bank.  The CUSIP number assigned to such Global Security shall, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be canceled and not immediately reassigned.  If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Securities represented by a Global Security, the Fiscal and Paying Agent will exchange such Global Security for two Global Securities, one of which shall represent such Security or Securities and shall be canceled immediately after issuance and the other of which shall represent the remaining Securities previously represented by the surrendered Global Security and shall bear the CUSIP number of the surrendered Global Security.

If the purchase price for any Security is not timely paid to the participants with respect to such Security by the beneficial purchaser thereof (or a person, including an indirect participant in the Depositary, acting on behalf of such purchaser), such participants and, in turn, the Agent for such Security may enter deliver orders through the Depositary’s Participant Terminal System debiting such Security to such participant’s account and crediting such Security to such Agent’s account and then debiting such Security to such Agent’s participant account and crediting such Security to the Fiscal and Paying Agent’s participant account and shall notify the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent thereof.  Thereafter, the Fiscal and Paying Agent will (i) immediately notify the Bank of such order and the Bank shall transfer to such Agent funds available for immediate use in an amount equal to th e price of such Security which was credited to the account of the Bank maintained at the Fiscal and Paying Agent in accordance with Settlement Procedure I, and (ii) 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 default by the applicable Agent to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Distribution Agreement, the Bank will reimburse such Agent on an equitable basis for the loss of its use of funds during the period when the funds were credited to the account of the Bank.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any failure to settle with respect to a Security, the Depositary 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 Securities to have been represented by a Global Security, the Fiscal and Paying Agent will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedure “D,” for the authentication and issuance of a Global Security representing the other Securities to have been represented by such Global Security and will make appropriate entries in its records.  The Bank will, from time to time, furnish the Fiscal and Paying Agent with a sufficient quantity of Securities.

FIRST TENNESSEE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

FISCAL AND PAYING AGENCY AGREEMENT

FISCAL AND PAYING AGENCY AGREEMENT, dated as of February 18, 2005, between First Tennessee Bank National Association, a national banking association (the “Bank”), as Issuer, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, a national banking association, as fiscal and paying agent (the “Fiscal and Paying Agent,” which term shall also refer to any duly appointed successor thereto).

WITNESSETH:

Section 1.                  Appointment of Fiscal and Paying Agent.  The Bank proposes to issue from time to time its Bank Notes (each, a “Bank Note” and collectively, the “Bank Notes”) in such amounts as may be duly authorized by the Bank pursuant to the distribution agreement, dated February 18, 2005 (the “Distribution Agreement”), among the Bank and the agents named therein (the “Agents”).

Each Bank Note will be issued in book-entry form and will be represented by a global certificate (each, a “Global Bank Note” and collectively, the “Global Bank Notes”) registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, as depository (“DTC,” which term includes any successor thereof), or a nominee thereof (which successor shall be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if so required by applicable law) (each beneficial interest in a Global Bank Note, a “Book-Entry Bank Note” and collectively, the “Book-Entry Bank Notes”).

The Bank hereby appoints the Fiscal and Paying Agent to act, on the terms and conditions specified herein, as fiscal and paying agent for the Global Bank Notes and as registrar, transfer agent and authenticating agent for the Global Bank Notes and to perform such other responsibilities as are described herein and in the Administrative Procedure attached as Annex II to the Distribution Agreement as such Administrative Procedure may be amended from time to time by agreement of the Bank and the Agents with notice of such amendments to the Fiscal and Paying Agent, and the Fiscal and Paying Agent hereby accepts such appointments.  The aggregate principal amount of the Global Bank Notes which may be issued pursuant to this Agreement outstanding at any one time is unlimited.

The Fiscal and Paying Agent shall exercise due care in the performance of its obligations hereunder and shall perform such obligations in a manner consistent with industry standards.

Section 2.                  Global Bank Note Forms; Terms; Execution.

(i)                  The Global Bank Notes shall be substantially (i) in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 hereto if such Global Bank Note bears interest at a fixed rate of interest (each such Global Bank Note, a “Fixed Rate Global Bank Note” and collectively, the  “Fixed Rate Global Bank Notes”), (ii) in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto if such Global Bank Note bears interest at a floating rate of interest determined by reference to an interest rate basis specified therein (each

1

such Global Bank Note, a “Floating Rate Global Bank Note” and collectively, the “Floating Rate Global Bank Notes”) or (iii) in such other form as the Bank may from time to time designate.

(ii)                Each Bank Note shall have a maturity of 30 days or more from its original date of issuance.  The Bank Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $250,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The interest rate borne by any particular Global Bank Note may vary from the interest rates borne by any other Global Bank Notes.  Any such variation shall not affect the interest rate borne by any other Global Bank Notes previously issued hereunder.

(iii)               The Bank will from time to time deliver or cause to be delivered to the Fiscal and Paying Agent a supply of blank Global Bank Notes in such quantities as the Bank shall determine, bearing consecutive control numbers.  Each Global Bank Note will have been executed by the manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Representative (as defined in Section 3 hereof) of the Bank.  The Fiscal and Paying Agent will acknowledge receipt of the Global Bank Notes delivered to it and will hold such blank Global Bank Notes in safekeeping in accordance with its customary practice and shall complete, authenticate and deliver such Global Bank Notes in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Section 4.                  Issuance Instructions; Completion, Authentication and Delivery of Global Bank Notes.

(i)                  All instructions regarding the completion, authentication and delivery of Global Bank Notes shall be given by an Authorized Representative, by telephone (confirmed in writing), by facsimile transmission or by other acceptable written means by such Authorized Representative.

(a)                complete each Global Bank Note;

2

(b)               record each Global Bank Note in the Bank Note Register (as defined in Section 10 hereof);

(d)               hold each Global Bank Note in safekeeping on behalf of the registered holder thereof;

provided that instructions regarding the completion and authentication of a Global Bank Note, whether delivered by facsimile transmission or by other written means, are received by the Fiscal and Paying Agent by 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of settlement relating to such Global Bank Note (or 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date of settlement relating to such Bank Note if the trade date and the date of settlement relating to such Bank Note are the same day).  As used in this Agreement, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or in Memphis, Tennessee are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close, and with respect to LIBOR Notes (as defined in the applicable Floating Rate Global Bank Note) only, is also a London Banking Day.  As used in this Agreement, “London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in the Designated LIBOR Currency (as defined in the applicable Global Bank Note)) in London.

Section 5.                  Reliance on Instructions; Request for Instructions.  The Fiscal and Paying Agent shall not incur any liability to the Bank in acting hereunder upon instructions contemplated hereby which the Fiscal and Paying Agent reasonably believed in good faith to have been given by an Authorized Representative.  In the event a discrepancy exists between the instructions as originally received by the Fiscal and Paying Agent and any subsequent written confirmation thereof, such original instructions will be deemed controlling; provided that the Fiscal and Paying Agent gives notice to the Bank of such discrepancy promptly upon the receipt of such written confirmation.

Any application by the Fiscal and Paying Agent for written instructions from the Bank may, at the option of the Fiscal and Paying Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Fiscal and Paying Agent under this Agreement and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective.  The Fiscal and Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Fiscal and Paying Agent in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer of the Bank actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Fiscal and Paying Agent sha ll have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Section 6.                  The Bank’s Representations and Warranties.  Each instruction given to the Fiscal and Paying Agent in accordance with Section 4 hereof shall constitute a

3

representation and warranty to the Fiscal and Paying Agent by the Bank that the issuance and delivery of the Global Bank Notes have been duly and validly authorized by the Bank and that the Global Bank Notes, when completed and authenticated pursuant hereto, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Bank subject to applicable bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to, or affecting, creditors' rights and to general equity principles.  The Bank further warrants that it is free to enter into this Agreement and to perform the terms hereof.

Section 7.                  Payments of Interest; Interest Payment Dates; Record Dates.  Interest payments on Global Bank Notes will be made: (i) in the case of the Fixed Rate Global Bank Notes with maturities of more than one year, on the dates specified in any applicable Fixed Rate Global Bank Notes and (ii) in the case of Floating Rate Global Bank Notes on such dates as are specified therein (collectively, the “Interest Payment Dates”) and, in each case, at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment if so indicated in the applicable Global Bank Note.  All such interest payments (other than interest due at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment) will be made to the Holders (as defined in Section 10 hereof) in whose names Global Bank Notes are registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) prior to each such Interest Payment Date (each such fifteenth calendar day, a “Record Date”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Original Issue Date of any Global Bank Note (other than a Global Bank Note on which interest is payable only at maturity) occurs between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, the first payment of interest on any such Global Bank Note will be made on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Original Issue Date (as defined in the Global Bank Notes).  Interest payments will be calculated and made in the manner provided in the applicable Global Bank Note.

If the Bank does not deposit adequate funds pursuant to Section 9 hereof with respect to the interest due on a Global Bank Note on an Interest Payment Date, such interest will cease to be due to the Holder of such Global Bank Note as of the close of business on the Record Date relating to such Interest Payment Date and will be paid to the Holder of such Global Bank Note as of the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Fiscal and Paying Agent when funds for the payment of such interest have been deposited pursuant to Section 9 hereof.  Notice of such special record date shall be given by the Fiscal and Paying Agent, at the Bank's expense, to the registered Holder of such Global Bank Note not less than 10 calendar days prior to such special record date.

Interest payments on Fixed Rate Global Bank Notes with maturities of one year or less will be made only upon maturity upon presentation and surrender of the applicable Fixed Rate Global Bank Note (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Fixed Rate Global Bank Note).  Interest payments on Fixed Rate Global Bank Notes with maturities of one year or less will be calculated in the manner provided in the applicable Fixed Rate Global Bank Note.

Section 8.                  Payment of Principal.  The Fiscal and Paying Agent will pay the Holder of each Global Bank Note the principal amount of each such Global Bank Note, together with accrued interest and premium, if any, at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment.

Section 9.                  Deposit of Funds.  The total amount of any principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on Global Bank Notes on any Interest Payment Date or any maturity date

4

or date of redemption or repayment shall be paid by the Bank to the Fiscal and Paying Agent by 1:00 P.M., New York City time, in funds available for use by the Fiscal and Paying Agent on such date.  The Bank will make such payment on such Global Bank Notes via Fedwire to an account specified by the Fiscal and Paying Agent.  Upon receipt of funds from the Bank, on such date or as soon as possible thereafter, the Fiscal and Paying Agent will pay by separate wire transfer (using message entry instructions in a form previously specified by DTC) to an account previously specified by DTC, in funds available for immediate use by DTC, each payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on a Global Bank Note on such date.

The Fiscal and Paying Agent shall hold such amounts paid to it by the Bank in trust for the Holders but shall, pending payment by it to the account specified above, not be under any liability for interest on monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the terms of this Agreement or of the Global Bank Notes, nor shall the Fiscal and Paying Agent be required to invest such monies.

Section 10.              Bank Note Register; Registration, Transfer, Exchange; Persons Deemed Owners.

(i)                  The Fiscal and Paying Agent shall maintain at its offices the Bank Note register.  The Fiscal and Paying Agent is hereby appointed as Registrar for the purpose of registering each Global Bank Note and transfers of such Global Bank Note as herein provided.  The term “Bank Note Register” shall mean the definitive record in which shall be recorded the names, addresses and taxpayer identifying numbers of the holders of the Global Bank Notes (the “Holders”), the serial and CUSIP numbers of each such Global Bank Note and the Original Issue Date thereof and details with respect to the transfer and exchange of each Global Bank Note.

(ii)                Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Global Bank Note at the offices of the Fiscal and Paying Agent, the Bank shall execute, and the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall complete, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Global Bank Notes, of any authorized denominations and having identical terms and provisions and for an equal aggregate principal amount.

(iii)               At the option of the Holder of a Global Bank Note, such Global Bank Note may be exchanged for other Global Bank Notes of any authorized denominations of an equal aggregate principal amount and having identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Global Bank Notes to be exchanged at the designated offices of the Fiscal and Paying Agent.  Whenever any Global Bank Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Bank shall execute, and the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall complete, authenticate and deliver, the Global Bank Notes which the Holder of the Global Bank Note making the exchange is entitled to receive.  Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Bank Note representing Book-Entry Bank N otes will not be entitled to have such Book-Entry Bank Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Bank Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under this Agreement.  However, if (x) DTC notifies the Bank that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Bank within 60 days, (y) the Bank, in its sole discretion, determines that such Global Bank Notes shall be exchangeable for

5

definitive Bank Notes in registered form or (z) any event shall have happened and be continuing that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default (as defined in the Global Bank Notes), then Global Bank Notes representing Book-Entry Bank Notes may be exchanged in whole for definitive Bank Notes in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, upon surrender of the Global Bank Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Fiscal and Paying Agent.

(iv)              Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall not register the transfer of or exchange (i) any Global Bank Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Global Bank Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) any Global Bank Note during the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of such redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (iii) any Global Bank Note in violation of the legend contained on the face of such Global Bank Note.

(v)                All Global Bank Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Bank Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Bank, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits as the Global Bank Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(vi)              Every Global Bank Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer with such evidence of due authorization and guaranty of signature as may reasonably be required by the Fiscal and Paying Agent, in form satisfactory to the Fiscal and Paying Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(vii)             No service charge shall be made to a Holder of Global Bank Notes for any transfer or exchange of Global Bank Notes, but the Bank may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

(viii)           The Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent, and any agent of the Bank or the Fiscal and Paying Agent, may treat the Holder in whose name a Global Bank Note is registered as the owner of such Global Bank Note for all purposes, whether or not such Global Bank Note be overdue, and neither the Bank, the Fiscal and Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary except as required by applicable law.

Section 11.              Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, or Stolen Global Bank Notes.  In case any Global Bank Note shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, and such Global Bank Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof satisfactory to the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent (together with indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required by the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent) shall be delivered to the Fiscal and Paying Agent, the Bank shall execute a new Global Bank Note, of like tenor and principal amount, having a serial number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Global Bank Note or in lieu of the Global Bank Note destroyed, lost or stolen but, in the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Global Bank Note, only

6

upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Fiscal and Paying Agent and the Bank that such Global Bank Note was destroyed, stolen or lost, and, if required, upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to each of them.  The Fiscal and Paying Agent shall authenticate any such substituted Global Bank Note and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any Authorized Representative of the Bank.  Upon the issuance of any substituted Global Bank Note, the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover all expenses and reasonable charges connected with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Global Bank Note.  If any Global Bank Note which has matured or has been redeemed or repaid or is about to mature or to be redeemed or repaid shall become mutilated, destroyed, lo st or stolen, the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Global Bank Note, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Global Bank Note) upon compliance by the Holder with the provisions of this Section.

Section 12.              Cancellation.  All Global Bank Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any person other than the Fiscal and Paying Agent, be delivered to the Fiscal and Paying Agent and shall be promptly cancelled by it.  The Bank may at any time deliver to the Fiscal and Paying Agent for cancellation any Global Bank Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Bank may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Global Bank Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Fiscal and Paying Agent.  No Global Bank Note shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Global Bank Note cancelled a s provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.  All cancelled Global Bank Notes held by the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall be returned to the Bank.

Section 13.              Redemption of Global Bank Notes.

(i)                  If any Global Bank Notes are to be redeemed prior to maturity, the Bank shall notify the Fiscal and Paying Agent not more than 60 nor less than 45 calendar days prior to the date fixed by the Bank for such redemption (the “Redemption Date”) of the Bank's election to redeem such Global Bank Notes in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount of such Global Bank Notes shall be at least $250,000). 

(ii)                Whenever less than all the Global Bank Notes at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the terms of the Global Bank Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Bank.  If less than all the Global Bank Notes with identical terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Global Bank Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Fiscal and Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it.  The Fiscal and Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Bank in writing of the Global Bank Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of Global Bank Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

(iii)               Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Global Bank Note, notice of redemption shall be given by the Fiscal and Paying Agent, at the Bank's expense, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of such Global Bank Note to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Bank Note Register.  All notices of redemption shall identify the Global Bank Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP number) and shall state:  (i) the Redemption Date; (ii)

7

the redemption price, which shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Global Bank Note (the “Redemption Price”), (iii) if less than all of the Global Bank Notes at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Global Bank Notes to be redeemed; (iv) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date will become due and payable with respect to each Global Bank Note to be redeemed and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date; and (v) the place or places where such Global Bank Notes are to be surrendered for payment.

(iv)              Notice of redemption having been given as described above, the Global Bank Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price, and from and after such date such Global Bank Notes shall cease to bear interest.  The Bank shall deposit funds with the Fiscal and Paying Agent prior to the Redemption Date that are sufficient to redeem such Global Bank Notes that are scheduled to be so redeemed.  Upon surrender of any such Global Bank Notes for redemption in accordance with such notice, the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall pay such Global Bank Notes at the Redemption Price, together with unpaid interest accrued on such Global Bank Notes at the applicable rate borne by such Global Ban k Notes to the Redemption Date.

(v)                Any Global Bank Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered to the Fiscal and Paying Agent, and the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall complete, authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Global Bank Note, without service charge, a new Global Bank Note or Global Bank Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder (which shall be $250,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof), in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Bank Note so surrendered.

(vi)              The Bank, in issuing the Global Bank Notes, may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Global Bank Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Global Bank Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

Section 14.              Repayment of Global Bank Notes.

(i)                  In order for any Global Bank Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder thereof, such Global Bank Note must be delivered by the Holder thereof, with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” (set forth in such Global Bank Note) duly completed, to the Fiscal and Paying Agent at its offices located at the address set forth in Section 20 hereof, or such other place or places of which the Bank shall from time to time notify the Holders of the Global Bank Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to any date fixed for such repayment of such Global Bank Notes (the “Optional Repayment Date”). 

(ii)                Upon surrender of any Global Bank Note for repayment in accordance with the provisions set forth above, the Global Bank Note to be repaid shall, on the Optional

8

Repayment Date, become due and payable, and the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall pay such Global Bank Note on the Optional Repayment Date at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the Optional Repayment Date.

(iii)               If less than the entire principal amount of any Global Bank Note is to be repaid, the Holder thereof shall specify the portion thereof (which shall be in increments of $1,000) which such Holder elects to have repaid and shall surrender such Global Bank Note to the Fiscal and Paying Agent, and the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall complete, authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Global Bank Note, without service charge, a new Global Bank Note or Global Bank Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepaid portion of the principal of the Global Bank Note so surrendered and in such denominations as shall be specified by such Holder (which shall be $250,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof).

Section 15.              Acceleration of Maturity.  If an Event of Default (as defined in the applicable Global Bank Note) shall occur, then the Holder of the Bank Note may declare the principal amount of, and accrued interest and premium, if any, on such Bank Note due and payable by written notice to the Bank.  Upon such declaration and notice, such principal amount, accrued interest and premium, if any, shall become immediately due and payable.  The Bank shall promptly notify, and provide copies of any such notice to, the Fiscal and Paying Agent, and the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall promptly mail by first-class mail, postage prepaid, copies of such notice to the Holders of the Bank Notes upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or of the curing or waiver of an Event of Default.  Any Event of Default with respect to a Bank Note may be waived by the Holder thereof.

Section 16.              Application of Funds; Return of Unclaimed Funds.  Any monies paid by the Bank and held by the Fiscal and Paying Agent in trust for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Global Bank Notes that remain unclaimed for two years following the date on which such principal, premium or interest shall have become due and payable shall be returned to the Bank by the Fiscal and Paying Agent and the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall inform the Bank as to the specific Global Bank Notes to which such monies related, and any Holder shall thereafter look, as an unsecured general creditor, only to the Bank for the payment thereof and all liability of the Fiscal and Paying Agent with respect to such trust monies shall thereupon cease.  Any funds deposited by the Bank with the Fiscal and Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Bank Note shall be held in trust on behalf of the Bank by the Fiscal and Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Bank Note until paid or returned to the Bank.

Section 17.              Cancellation of Unissued Notes.  Upon the written request of the Bank, the Fiscal and Paying Agent promptly shall cancel and return to the Bank all unissued Bank Notes in its possession.

Section 18.              Liability.  Neither the Fiscal and Paying Agent nor its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to the Bank for any act or omission hereunder except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The duties and obligations of the Fiscal and Paying Agent, its directors, officers and employees shall be determined by the express provisions of this Agreement and no implied covenants shall be read into this Agreement against

9

any of them.  Notwithstanding any other provision elsewhere contained in this Agreement, the Fiscal and Paying Agent is acting solely as agent of the Bank and does not assume any obligation or relationship of trust or agency for or with any Holders.  Neither the Fiscal and Paying Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be required to ascertain whether any issuance or sale of Bank Notes (or any amendment or termination of this Agreement) has been duly authorized (provided that the Fiscal and Paying Agent in good faith has determined that the facsimile or manual signature of the Authorized Representative or any person who has been designated by the Authorized Representative in writing to the Fiscal and Paying Agent reasonably resembles the specimen signatures filed with the Fiscal and Paying Agent) or is in compliance with any other agreement to which the B ank is a party (whether or not the Fiscal and Paying Agent is also a party to such other agreement), and the Fiscal and Paying Agent and each of its officers and employees shall be entitled to rely upon any instructions reasonably believed (in accordance with Section 3 hereof) by the Fiscal and Paying Agent and its officers and employees to be given on behalf of the Bank by an Authorized Representative or by any person who has been designated by an Authorized Representative in writing to the Fiscal and Paying Agent as a person authorized to give such instructions hereunder, whether or not in fact given by the Authorized Representative or such designated person.

The Fiscal and Paying Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or gross negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.  The Fiscal and Paying Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.  The Fiscal and Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement.

Section 19.              Indemnification, Risk of Funds.  The Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fiscal and Paying Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all actions, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) relating to or arising out of their actions or inactions taken or omitted to be taken by the Fiscal and Paying Agent in good faith in connection with its performance under this Agreement including, but not limited to, any actions taken or omitted upon instructions by the Bank (in accordance with Section 3) or the issuance, delivery, payment or non-payment of any Bank Note or interest thereon, or other receipt or other funds for the payment of the Bank Notes or interest or premium thereon; provided, however, that the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall be liable for any liabilities, losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) caused by the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of its directors, officers, employees or agents.  This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

No provision of this Agreement shall require the Fiscal and Paying Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable

10

grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Section 20.              Compensation of the Fiscal and Paying Agent.  The Bank agrees to pay the compensation of the Fiscal and Paying Agent, at such rates as shall be mutually agreed upon in writing between the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent from time to time.  The Bank shall reimburse upon demand the Fiscal and Paying Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Fiscal and Paying Agent with respect to the Bank in accordance with any provisions of this Agreement, except any such expense, disbursement or advance proven to be attributable to the breach of this Agreement or the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Fiscal and Paying Agent, upon receipt of such invoices as the Bank may reasonably require.  The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Any corporation or bank into which the Fiscal and Paying Agent hereunder may be merged or converted, or any corporation or bank with which the Fiscal and Paying Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation or bank resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or bank to which the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Fiscal and Paying Agent, provided that it shall be qualified under the first paragraph of this Section, shall be the successor Fiscal and Paying Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Bank Notes of the Bank due from 30 days or more from date of issue (the “Notes”).

Payments of interest hereon will include interest accrued to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be.  Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on Notes with maturities of greater than one year will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on Notes with maturities of one year or less will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 and will be payable only at maturity to the person to whom principal shall be payable.

Any provision contained herein with respect to the calculation of the rate of interest applicable to this Note, its Interest Payment Dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so specified on the face hereof.

If any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Note falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be.  “Business Day” means, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that in The City of New York or in Memphis, Tennessee is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund.  If so provided on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed by the Bank either in whole or in part (unless otherwise specified on the face hereof) on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof.   If no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date.  On and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Note may be redeemed in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the option of the Bank at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued hereon at the applicable rate borne by this Note to the date of redemption (each such date, a “Red emption Date”), on written notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holder hereof (unless otherwise specified on the face hereof).  Whenever less than all the Notes at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the terms of the Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Bank.  If less than all the Notes with identical terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Fiscal and Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it.  In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

The “Redemption Price” shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof by the Annual Redemption

A-1-6


Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, of the principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount.

This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof in accordance with the terms hereof on any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof.  If no Holder’s Optional Repayment Date is specified on the face hereof, this Note will not be repayable at the option of the holder hereof prior to maturity.  On any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof will be at least $250,000) at the option of the holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued and unpaid interest hereon payable to the date of repayment.  For this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof on a Holder’s Optional Repayment Date, this Note must be delivered, with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” attached hereto duly completed, to the Fiscal and Paying Agent at its offices located at ·, Attention: ·, Facsimile: ·, or at such other address which the Bank shall from time to time notify the holders of the Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to such Holder’s Optional Repayment Date.  In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unrepaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.  Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable.

If this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note and if an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the Default Amount (as defined hereafter) of this Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided herein.  The “Default Amount” shall be equal to the adjusted issue price as of the first day of the accrual period, as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b)(1)(ii) (or successor regulation) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which the date of acceleration occurs increased by the daily portion of the accrued original issue discount for each day in such accrual period ending on the date of acceleration, as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b)(1) (or successor regulation) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Upon payment of (i) the principal, or premium, if any, so declared due and payable and (ii) interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest or premium, if any (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Bank's obligations in respect of the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note shall terminate.

In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof satisfactory to the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent and such other documents or proof as may be required by the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall be delivered to the Fiscal and Paying Agent, the Bank shall issue a new Note, of like tenor and principal amount, having a serial number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note or in lieu of the Note destroyed, lost or stolen but, in the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent that such Note was destroyed, stolen or lost, and, if required, upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent.  Upon the issuance of any substitu ted Note, the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover all expenses and reasonable charges connected with the preparation and delivery of a new Note.  If any Note which has matured or has been redeemed or repaid or is about to mature or to be redeemed or repaid shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of the same

A-1-7


(without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note) upon compliance by the holder with the provisions of this paragraph.

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

The Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement provides that the Bank will promptly notify, and provide copies of any such notice to, the Fiscal and Paying Agent, and the Fiscal and Paying Agent will promptly mail by first-class mail, postage prepaid, copies of such notice to the holders of the Notes, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or of the curing or waiver of an Event of Default.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Bank with any other corporation or successive consolidations or mergers in which the Bank or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of the

A-1-8


property of the Bank as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other corporation authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however (and the Bank hereby covenants and agrees) that any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance shall be upon the condition that: (i) immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance the corporation (whether the Bank or such other corporation) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or the corporation to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall not be in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Note to be observed or performed by the Bank; and (ii) the corporation (if other than the Bank) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or the corporation to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall be organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note.  In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, and upon the assumption by the successor corporation of the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants in this Note to be performed or observed by the Bank, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Bank with the same effect as if it had been named in this Note as the Bank and thereafter the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants in this Note and may be liquidated and dissolved.

Any action by the holder of this Note shall bind all future holders of this Note, and of any Note issued in exchange or substitution herefor or in place hereof, in respect of anything done or permitted by the Bank or by the Fiscal and Paying Agent in pursuance of such action.

The Fiscal and Paying Agent shall maintain at its offices a register (the register maintained in such office or any other office or agency of the Fiscal and Paying Agent, herein referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Fiscal and Paying Agent shall provide for the registration of the Notes and of transfers of the Notes.

The transfer of this Note is registrable in the Note Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Fiscal and Paying Agent in the Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note in U.S. dollars at the times, places and rate herein prescribed in accordance with its terms.

No service charge shall be made to a holder of this Note for any transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Bank may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Bank Notes due from 30 days or more from date of issue (the “Notes”).

          If any Interest Payment Date (other than at the Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Note) would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if an Interest Rate Basis is LIBOR, as indicated on the face hereof, and such next Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day.  Except as provided above, interest payments will be made on the Interest Payment Dates shown on the face hereof.  If the Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Note falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Note shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be.

          This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund.  If so provided on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed by the Bank either in whole or in part on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof.  If no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date.  On and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Note may be redeemed in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the option of the Bank at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued hereon at the applicable rate borne by this Note to the date of redemption (each such date, a “Redemption Dat e”), on written notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holder hereof.  Whenever less than all the Notes at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the terms of the Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Bank.  If less than all the Notes with identical terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Fiscal and Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it.  In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

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

          This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof in accordance with the terms hereof on the Holder’s Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof.  If no Holder’s Optional Repayment Date is specified on the face hereof, this Note will not be repayable at the option of the holder hereof prior to maturity.  On any Holder’s Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof will be at least $250,000) at the option of the holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued and

A-2-7

unpaid interest hereon payable to the date of repayment.  For this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof on a Holder’s Optional Repayment Date, this Note must be delivered, with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” attached hereto duly completed, to the Fiscal and Paying Agent at its offices located at 3800 Colonnade Parkway, Suite 490, Birmingham, Alabama 35243, Attention: Corporate Trust Department, Telecopy: (205) 968-9145, or at such other address which the Bank shall from time to time notify the holders of the Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to such Holder’s Optional Repayment Date.  In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unrepaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.  Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable.

          The interest rate borne by this Note shall be determined as follows:

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

          2.         If this Note is designated as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note on the face hereof, then, except as described below or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner described on the face hereof.  Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to but excluding the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate; and (b) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing on, and including, the Fixed Rate Commencement Date to but excluding the Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment shall be the Fixed Interest Rate, if such a rate is specified on the face hereof or, if no such Fixed Interest Rate is so specified, the interest rate in effect hereon on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.

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

A-2-8

effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to but excluding the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is designated on the face hereof as having an Addendum attached, this Note shall bear interest in accordance with the terms described in such Addendum.

          Except as set forth above or specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (a) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (b) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date.  If any Interest Reset Date (which term includes the term Initial Interest Reset Date unless the context otherwise requires) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if an Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such next Business Day fa lls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.  In addition, if the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day.

          Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the next preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid (or from and including the Original Issue Date specified on the face hereof, if no interest has been paid), to but excluding the related Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be.

          Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor.  Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated.  Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, the J.J. Kenny Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis or by the actual number of days in the year if the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis.  If interest on this Note is to be calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases as specified on the face hereof, the interest factor will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied.

          The interest rate applicable to each day in an Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (as defined below) and will be calculated by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the Calculation Date (as defined below), except with respect to LIBOR, which will be calculated on such Interest Determination Date.  Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Interest Determination Date” with

A-2-9

respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, the J.J. Kenny Rate and the Prime Rate will be the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; the Interest Determination Date with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate will be the last working day of the month immediately preceding each Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the “FHLB of San Francisco”) publishes the Index (as defined herein); the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to LIBOR shall be the second London Banking Day (as defined below) immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, unless the Designated LIBOR Currency is British pounds sterling, in which case the “Interest Determination Date” will be the applicable Interest Reset Date; the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the Treasury Rate will be th e day in the week in which the applicable Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided further that if the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day.  If the interest rate of this Note is determined by reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases as specified on the face hereof, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to this Note will be the most recent Business D ay which is at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable.  Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined as of such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the applicable Interest Reset Date.

          Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment as the case may be.  All calculations on this Note shall be made by the Calculation Agent specified on the face hereof or such successor thereto as is duly appointed by the Bank and shall be final and binding absent manifest error.

          All percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or 0.09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655) and 9.876544% (or 0.09876544) would be rounded to 9.87654% (or 0.0987654)), and all amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded, in the case of U.S. dollars to the nearest cent or, in the case of a foreign currency, to the smallest denominational unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards).

          As used herein, “Business Day” means, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that in The City of New York or in Memphis, Tennessee is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close and, if an Interest Rate Basis shown on the face hereof is LIBOR, is also a London Banking Day.

          Determination of CD Rate.  If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the CD Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “CD Rate Interest Determination Date”) as the rate on that date for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) (as hereinafter defined) under the heading “CDs (secondary market)”.

          In the event that the above rate is not published prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to that CD Rate Interest Determination Date, then the CD Rate shall be the rate on that CD Rate Interest Determination Date set forth in H.15 Daily Update (as hereinafter defined), or another recognized electronic source, used for the purpose of displaying that rate, for that day in respect of certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Note under the caption “CDs (secondary market)”.

          If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date the CD Rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source, the CD Rate for that CD Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates, as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on that CD Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading nonbank dealers of negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit of major U.S. money market banks for negotiable certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Note in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time.

          If fewer than three dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as set forth above, the CD Rate will be the CD Rate in effect on that CD Rate Interest Determination Date.

          “H.15(519)” means the weekly statistical release designated as such, or any successor publication, published by the Federal Reserve Board.

          “H.15 Daily Update” means the daily update of H.15(519), available through the web site of the Federal Reserve Board at http:/www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or publication.

          Determination of CMT Rate.  If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the CMT Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the CMT Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “CMT Rate Interest Determination Date”) in accordance with the following provisions:

          (i)         If “CMT Moneyline Telerate Page 7051” is the specified CMT Moneyline Telerate Page on the face hereof, the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be a percentage equal to the yield for U.S. Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity as set forth in H.15(519) (as defined hereinafter) under the caption “Treasury constant maturities,” as such yield is displayed on Moneyline Telerate (or any successor service) on page 7051 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) (“Moneyline Telerate Page 7051”) for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date.  If such rate does not appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 7051, the CMT Rate on such

A-2-11

CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be a percentage equal to the yield for U.S. Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity and for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date as set forth in H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury constant maturities.”  If such rate does not appear in H.15(519), the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the rate for the period of the Index Maturity as may then be published by either the Federal Reserve Board or the U.S. Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate which would otherwise have been published in H.15(519).  If the Federal Reserve Board or the U.S. Department of the Treasury does not publish a yield on U.S. Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Ma turity for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers in The City of New York (which may include one or more of the Agents or their affiliates) (each, a “Reference Dealer”) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity, a remaining term to maturity no more than 1 year shorter than the Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time.  If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations shall be eliminated.  If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of e quality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity, a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time.   If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations shall be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date.  If two such U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Index Maturity, the quotes for the Treasury security with the shorter original term to maturity will be used.

A-2-12

          (ii)        If “CMT Moneyline Telerate Page 7052” is the specified CMT Moneyline Telerate Page on the face hereof, the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be a percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified on the face hereof, average yield for U.S. Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity as set forth in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities,” as such yield is displayed on Moneyline Telerate (or any successor service) on page 7052 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) (“Moneyline Telerate Page 7052”) for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date fal ls.  If such rate does not appear on the Moneyline Telerate Page 7052, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be a percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified on the face hereof, average yield for U.S. Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity and for the week or month, as applicable, preceding such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date as set forth in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities.”  If such rate does not appear in H.15(519), the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the one-week or one-month, as specified on the face hereof, average yield for U.S. Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity as otherwise announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applic able, in which such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date falls.  If the Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not publish a one-week or one-month, as specified on the face hereof, average yield on U.S. Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity for the applicable week or month, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Mat urity, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than the Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time.  If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the rate on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor lowest of such quotations shall be eliminated.  If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of thre e Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)) for U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity longer than the Index Maturity, a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single

A-2-13

transaction in such securities in such market at such time.  If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the rate on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor lowest of such quotations shall be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date.  If two U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Index Maturity, the quotes for the Treasury security w ith the shorter original term to maturity will be used.

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

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

                        Money Market Yield =     D x 360       x 100

          Determination of Federal Funds Rate.  If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the Federal Funds Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the Federal Funds Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date”), as the rate on such date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective),” as such rate is displayed on Moneyline Telerate (or any successor service) on page 120 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) (“Moneyline Telerate Page 120”), or, if such rate does not appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 120 or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in  H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption “Federal Funds (Effective).”  If such rate does not appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 120 or is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, then the Federal Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of U.S. dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York (which may include one or more of the Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determina tion Date; provided, however, that if the brokers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate determined as of such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

Kenny Interest Determination Date shall be 67% of the rate determined as if the Treasury Rate option had been originally selected.  The Calculation Agent shall calculate the J.J. Kenny Rate in accordance with the foregoing.

          (ii)        With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks (which may include affiliates of the

          Determination of Prime Rate.  If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the Prime Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the Prime Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “Prime Rate Interest Determination Date”), as the rate on such date as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the caption “Bank prime loan” or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Prime Rate Interest

A-2-17

Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption “Bank prime loan.”  If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean calculated by the Calculation Agent of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page (as hereinafter defined) as such bank’s prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date.  If fewer than four such rates so appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean calculated by the Calculation Agent of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of one or more of the Agents) in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate determined as of such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date.

SECTION 2.  Calculation of Interest Rate Bases.  (a)  The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate of, and the amount of interest payable on, the Floating Rate Notes for each interest accrual period and shall communicate the same to the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent upon the terms and conditions contained herein.  The Bank shall cause the Fiscal and Paying Agent to provide the Calculation Agent with not less than two (2) but not more than seven (7) Business Days’ notice of the Interest Determination Date (as defined in the applicable Floating Rate Note) with respect to which a particular Floating Rate Note calculation is to be made by the Calculation Agent, and the Calculation Agent shall notify the Fiscal and Paying Agent of such Floating Rate Note calculation on or before the applicable Calculation Date (as defined in the Floating Rate Note) and shall confirm such calculation in writing within twenty-four (24) hours after so notifying the Fiscal and Paying Agent.

(b)               In no event shall the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes be less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, or higher than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, designated in the applicable Floating Rate Note and related pricing supplement (each, a “Pricing Supplement”), and in no event shall the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by U.S. law of general application.

(c)                The Calculation Agent shall calculate the amount of interest payable on each Floating Rate Note in the manner and at the times set forth in each such Floating Rate Note.

(d)               The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any holder of a Floating Rate Note, provide the interest rate then in effect, and the interest rate which will become effective as a result of a determination made on the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note.

SECTION 3.  Status of Calculation Agent.  Any acts taken by the Calculation Agent under this Agreement or in connection with any Floating Rate Notes, including, specifically, but without limitation, the calculation of any interest rate for a Floating Rate Note, shall be deemed to have been taken by the Calculation Agent solely in its capacity as an agent acting on behalf of the Bank and shall not create or imply any obligation to, or any trust or agency relationship with, any of the owners or holders of the Floating Rate Notes.

SECTION 4.  Fees and Expenses.  The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to such compensation for its services under this Agreement as may be agreed upon with the Bank, and the Bank shall pay such compensation and shall reimburse the Calculation Agent for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred or made by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the services rendered by it under this Agreement upon receipt of such invoices as the Bank may reasonably require.

SECTION 5.  Rights and Liabilities of the Calculation Agent.  From time to time, the Bank will furnish the Calculation Agent with a written list of the names of officers of the Bank authorized to give instructions and notices on behalf of the Bank hereunder (each, an “Instructing Representative”).  The Calculation Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for, or in respect of, any action taken or omitted to be taken, or suffered by it in reliance upon any Floating Rate Note or written instruction, notice, request, direction, order, certificate, consent, report, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.  Any instruction, n otice, request, direction, order, certificate,

2

consent, report, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication from the Bank or given by it and sent, delivered or directed to the Calculation Agent under, pursuant to, or as permitted by, any provision of this Agreement shall be sufficient for purposes of this Agreement if such instruction, notice, request, direction, order, certificate, consent, report, affidavit, statement, or other paper, document, communication or comment is in writing and signed by an Instructing Representative.  The Calculation Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements expressed therein, upon any order, written instruction, notice, request, direction, certificate, consent, report, affidavit, statement, or other paper, document or communication, reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine, from the Bank or given by it and sent, delivered or directed to the Calculation Agent and conforming to the requi rements of this Agreement, and the Calculation Agent shall be protected in acting upon any such order, written instruction, notice, request, direction, certificate, consent, report, affidavit, statement, or other paper, document or communication.  The Calculation Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall constitute full and complete authorization and protection of the Calculation Agent with respect to any action taken, omitted to be taken, or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with and in reliance upon the advice of such counsel.  The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any error resulting from the use of or reliance on a source or publication required to be used by any Floating Rate Note, this Agreement or any other document.  Neither the Calculation Agent nor its officers, direct ors, employees, agents or attorneys shall be liable to the Bank or any other party for any act or omission hereunder, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by it or them except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct.  No party shall be liable for any default resulting from force majeure, which shall be deemed to include any circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the party affected.

SECTION 8.  Appointment of Successor Calculation Agent.  In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Bank shall promptly appoint a successor Calculation Agent whose appointment shall become effective as of the Effective Date.  Any successor Calculation Agent appointed by the Bank and approved by the Fiscal and Paying Agent following termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, shall execute and deliver to the original Calculation Agent, the Bank and the Fiscal and Paying Agent an instrument accepting such appointment.  Thereupon, such successor Calculation Agent shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of t he Calculation Agent and with like effect as if originally named as Calculation Agent hereunder, and the original Calculation Agent shall thereupon be obligated to transfer and deliver such relevant records or copies thereof maintained by the Calculation Agent in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder.  Upon the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment the Calculation Agent so superseded shall cease to be such Calculation Agent hereunder.  In the event of termination of this Agreement by the Calculation Agent or the Bank pursuant to Section 7 hereof, if a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed by the Bank by the Effective Date of such termination, the Calculation Agent may, at the expense of the Bank, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Calculation Agent.  Any s uccessor Calculation Agent so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Calculation Agent appointed as provided above within one year from the date of the appointment by such court.
