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

On May 25, 2005 SunTrust Bank, our principal banking subsidiary, issued $200
million in aggregate principal amount of 4.55% Fixed Rate Senior Global Bank
Notes due 2009 (the "Fixed Rate Notes"). The Fixed Rate Notes were issued to
purchasers at a price of 99.924%, resulting in proceeds to SunTrust Bank, after
dealer discount, of $199,548, 000. The Fixed Rate Notes are redeemable, in whole
or in part, by SunTrust Bank on May 25, 2007 and on each interest payment date
thereafter at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the notes
being redeemed together with accrued and unpaid interest. The Fixed Rate Notes
are not subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

On May 25, 2005 SunTrust Bank also issued $400 million in aggregate principal
amount of Floating Rate Senior Global Bank Notes due 2009 (the "Floating Rate
Notes"). SunTrust Bank pays interest on the Floating Rate Notes at the rate of
3-month LIBOR plus 10 basis points. The Floating Rate Notes were issued to
purchasers at a price of 100%, resulting in proceeds to SunTrust Bank, after
dealer discount, of $399,400,000. The Floating Rate Notes are not redeemable by
SunTrust Bank (except in certain limited events) or subject to repayment at the
option of the holder prior to maturity.

The Fixed Rate Notes and Floating Rate Notes were issued as part of this program
established November 8, 2000 and amended March 31, 2004 under which SunTrust
Bank may offer up to $20 billion in senior and subordinated unsecured debt
obligations. With the issuance of the Fixed Rate Notes and the Floating Rate
Notes, the cumulative balance of outstanding notes under the program is
$6,850,000,000.

                                                                  March 31, 2004

TO EACH OF THE DISTRIBUTION AGENTS LISTED
ON SCHEDULE 1 HERETO

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     SunTrust Bank, a banking corporation chartered under the laws of the State
of Georgia (the "Bank"), confirms its agreement with each of the distribution
agents listed on Schedule 1 hereto (each referred to as a "Distribution Agent"
and collectively referred to as the "Distribution Agents") with respect to the
issue and sale by it of its (i) senior unsecured debt obligations not insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") (the "Senior Notes") and
(ii) subordinated unsecured debt obligations not insured by the FDIC (the
"Subordinated Notes", and together with the Senior Notes, the "Bank Notes"). The
Bank Notes have maturities of 7 days to 30 years or more from date of issue. The
Bank Notes are to be issued pursuant to an Amended and Restated Global Agency
Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2004 (the "Global Agency Agreement"), among the
Bank and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as domestic paying agent (the
"Domestic Paying Agent") and registrar (the "Registrar"), Deutsche Bank AG
London, as London paying agent (the "London Paying Agent") and London issuing
agent (the "London Issuing Agent"), Kredietbank S.A. Luxembourgeoise, as
Luxembourg listing agent (the "Luxembourg Listing Agent") and Deutsche Bank
Luxembourg S.A., as Luxembourg transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") and
Luxembourg paying agent (the "Luxembourg Paying Agent", and together with the
Domestic Paying Agent and the London Paying Agent, the "Paying Agents" and each
individually, a "Paying Agent"). As of the date hereof, the Bank has authorized
the issuance of up to U.S.$20,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other
currencies calculated as described in the Offering Circular dated March 31,
2004) aggregate principal amount (whether issued prior to or on or after the
date hereof) at any one time outstanding of its Bank Notes. It is understood,
however, that the Bank may from time to time authorize the issuance of an
additional outstanding amount of Bank Notes and that the Bank Notes may be
distributed through or sold to one or more of the Distribution Agents pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, all as though the issuance of the Bank Notes
were authorized as of the date hereof. The Bank is a subsidiary of SunTrust
Banks, Inc. ("SunTrust Banks").

     This Agreement provides both for the sale of Bank Notes by the Bank to the
Distribution Agents as principal for resale to investors and other purchasers
and for the



sale of Bank Notes by the Bank directly to investors through the Distribution
Agents (as may from time to time be agreed to by the Bank and the Distribution
Agents), in which case the Distribution Agents will act as agents of the Bank in
soliciting Bank Note purchasers.

SECTION 1. Appointment as Distribution Agents.

     (a) Appointment of Distribution Agents. Subject to the terms and conditions
stated herein and subject to the reservation by the Bank of the right to sell
Bank Notes directly to investors on its own behalf in those jurisdictions where
it is authorized to do so, the Bank hereby agrees that Bank Notes will be sold
exclusively to or through the Distribution Agents. The Distribution Agents are
authorized to engage the services of any other broker or dealer in connection
with the offer or sale of the Bank Notes purchased by a Distribution Agent as
principal for resale to others but are not authorized to appoint sub-agents. In
connection with sales by the Distribution Agents of Bank Notes purchased by a
Distribution Agent as principal to other brokers or dealers, a Distribution
Agent may allow any portion of the discount it has received in connection with
such purchase from the Bank to such brokers or dealers.

     (b) Sale of Bank Notes. The Bank shall not approve the solicitation of
purchases of Bank Notes in excess of the amount which shall be authorized to be
outstanding by the Bank from time to time or in excess of the aggregate
principal amount of Bank Notes specified in the Offering Circular. The
Distribution Agents will have no responsibility for maintaining records with
respect to the aggregate principal amount of Bank Notes sold or outstanding, or
of otherwise monitoring the availability of Bank Notes for sale.

     (c) Purchases as Principal. The Distribution Agents shall not have any
obligation to purchase Bank Notes from the Bank as principal, but the
Distribution Agents may agree from time to time to purchase Bank Notes as
principal. Any such purchase of Bank Notes by a Distribution Agent as principal
shall be made in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof.

     (d) Solicitations as Distribution Agent. If agreed upon by a Distribution
Agent and the Bank, the Distribution Agent, acting solely as agent for the Bank
and not as principal, will solicit purchases of the Bank Notes. The Distribution
Agent will communicate to the Bank, orally or in writing, each offer to purchase
Bank Notes solicited by such Distribution Agent on an agency basis, other than
those offers rejected by the Distribution Agent. The Distribution Agent shall
have the right, in its discretion reasonably exercised, to reject any proposed
purchase of Bank Notes, as a whole or in part, and any such rejection shall not
be deemed a breach of any Distribution Agent's agreement contained herein. The
Bank may accept or reject any proposed purchase of the Bank Notes in whole or in
part. The Distribution Agent shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Bank in
obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Bank Notes has
been solicited by the Distribution Agent and accepted by the Bank. The
Distribution Agent shall not have any liability to the Bank in the event any
such agency purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the Bank shall
default on its obligation to


                                        2



deliver Bank Notes to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Bank shall
(i) hold the Distribution 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 Distribution Agent any commission to which it would be
entitled in connection with such sale.

     (e) Additional Agents. The Bank may, from time to time, engage additional
agents either as principal or as an agent for the sale of the Bank Notes. Any
additional agents shall be required, as a condition to their engagement, either
to enter into this Agreement (amended to include such additional agents as
signatories) or into an agreement with the Bank substantially similar to this
Agreement.

     (f) Stabilization. The Distribution Agent (if any) specified as the
Stabilization Manager in the Pricing Supplement relating to any Tranche of Bank
Notes or any person acting for the Stabilization Manager may, in connection with
such Bank Notes, over-allot or effect transactions with a view to supporting the
market price of the Bank Notes of the Series of which such Tranche forms a part
at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail for a limited period,
but in so doing, the Stabilization Manager (or any person acting for him) shall
act as principal and not as agent of the Bank. Such stabilization, if commenced,
may be discontinued at any time. Such stabilization shall be conducted in
accordance with all relevant laws, regulations and rules. Any loss or profit
sustained as a consequence of any such over-allotment or stabilization shall, as
against the Bank, be for the account of such named Distribution Agent.

     The Bank confirms that it has been informed of the existence of the United
Kingdom Financial Services Authority ("FSA") stabilizing guidance in Section MAR
2 Ann 2G of the FSA Handbook.

     (g) Reliance. The Bank and the Distribution Agents agree that the Bank
Notes purchased by the Distribution Agents shall be purchased, and the Bank
Notes the placement of which a Distribution Agent arranges shall be placed by
such Distribution Agent, in reliance on the representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements of the Bank contained herein and on the terms and
conditions and in the manner provided herein.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties.

     (a) The Bank represents and warrants to each Distribution Agent as of the
date hereof, as of the date of each acceptance by the Bank of an offer for the
purchase of Bank Notes (whether to the Distribution Agent as principal or
through the Distribution Agent as agent), as of the date of each delivery of
Bank Notes (whether to such Distribution Agent as principal or through such
Distribution Agent as agent) (the date of each such delivery to a Distribution
Agent as principal being hereafter referred to as a "Settlement Date"), and as
of the times referred to in Section 8(b) hereof (each of the times referenced
above being referred to hereafter as a "Representation Date"), as follows:


                                        3



          (i) Offering Circular. The Bank has prepared an offering circular,
     dated March 31, 2004 (as such document may hereafter be amended or
     supplemented (including by any pricing supplement) by the Bank), including
     the material incorporated therein by reference, the "Offering Circular"),
     to be used by the Distribution Agents in connection with the Distribution
     Agents' solicitation of purchasers of, or offering of, the Bank Notes. The
     Bank has been authorized by SunTrust Banks to incorporate by reference in
     the Offering Circular SunTrust Banks' annual reports on Form 10-K,
     quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and each other
     document filed by SunTrust Banks pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
     15(d) (and any and all amendments thereto) (except that information in such
     documents deemed not to have been filed in accordance with the rules of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission shall not be incorporated by reference)
     of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and
     the rules and regulations thereunder. The Offering Circular, as of the date
     hereof, does not and, as of the applicable Representation Date, will not,
     contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
     fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light
     of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided,
     however, that the representations and warranties in this subsection shall
     not apply to statements in or omissions from the Offering Circular made in
     reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Bank in
     writing by the Distribution Agents expressly for use therein.

          The Bank has incorporated by reference in the Offering Circular the
     publicly available portions of each of its Consolidated Reports of
     Condition and Income (each, a "Call Report"), and any amendments or
     supplements thereto, for the quarterly periods in the years ended December
     31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. The publicly available portions of any Call
     Reports filed by the Bank subsequent to the date of the Offering Circular
     and prior to the termination of the offering of the Bank Notes will be
     incorporated therein by reference.

          The documents incorporated by reference into the Offering Circular, at
     the time they were or hereafter are filed with the applicable federal
     regulatory authorities, complied or when so filed will comply in all
     material respects with the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations otherwise
     applicable thereto, as the case may be, and, when read together with the
     other information in the Offering Circular, did not and will not include an
     untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
     required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
     therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were or are made,
     not misleading.

          (ii) Due Organization, Valid Existence and Good Standing. The Bank is
     a banking corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
     under the laws of the State of Georgia, and is licensed, registered or
     qualified to conduct the business in which it is engaged in each
     jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership or
     leasing of property requires such license, registration or qualification,
     except to the extent that the failure to be so


                                        4



     licensed, registered or qualified or to be in good standing would not have
     a material adverse effect on the Bank and its subsidiaries taken as a
     whole. The Bank is a subsidiary of SunTrust Banks, a Georgia corporation
     which has securities registered under the 1934 Act.

          (iii) Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery of this Agreement, the
     Global Agency Agreement, the Amended and Restated Interest Calculation
     Agreement, the Amended and Restated Exchange Rate Agent Agreement and the
     Letters of Representations. This Agreement, the Global Agency Agreement,
     the Amended and Restated Interest Calculation Agreement dated as of March
     31, 2004, between the Bank and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the
     "Interest Calculation Agreement"), the Amended and Restated Exchange Rate
     Agent Agreement dated as of March 31, 2004, between the Bank and Deutsche
     Bank Trust Company Americas (the "Exchange Rate Agent Agreement") and the
     Short-Term and Medium-Term Letters of Representation dated March 31, 2004
     (the "Letters of Representations"), between the Bank, Deutsche Bank Trust
     Company Americas and The Depository Trust Company, have been duly
     authorized, executed and delivered by the Bank and are valid and legally
     binding agreements of the Bank, enforceable against the Bank in accordance
     with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, liquidation,
     insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium,
     conservatorship, receivership and similar laws of general applicability
     relating to, or affecting, creditors' rights, and to general equity
     principles.

          (iv) Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery of the Bank Notes. The
     Bank Notes have been duly authorized for issuance and sale pursuant to this
     Agreement and, when issued and authenticated against payment of the
     consideration therefor, the Bank Notes will be valid and legally binding
     obligations of the Bank, enforceable against the Bank in accordance with
     their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, liquidation,
     insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium,
     conservatorship, receivership and similar laws of general applicability
     relating to, or affecting, creditors' rights, and to general equity
     principles.

          (v) Exemption from Registration. The Bank Notes are exempt from
     registration under Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
     amended (the "1933 Act"), and neither registration of the Bank Notes under
     the 1933 Act, nor qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture
     Act of 1939, as amended, is required in connection with the offer, sale,
     issuance or delivery of the Bank Notes pursuant to this Agreement or any
     applicable Terms Agreement (as defined in Section 3(a) hereof).

          (vi) Exemption from Investment Company Act. The Bank is not required
     to register under the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
     amended (the "Investment Company Act"), or to take any other action with
     respect to or under the Investment Company Act.


                                        5



          (vii) No Other Approvals Required. No consent, approval or
     authorization of or filing with any governmental body or agency is required
     for the performance by the Bank of its obligations under this Agreement,
     the Bank Notes, the Global Agency Agreement, the Interest Calculation
     Agreement, the Exchange Rate Agent Agreement, the Letters of
     Representations and any applicable Terms Agreement (provided that the
     representations contained in the immediately preceding clause with respect
     to approvals under the laws of foreign countries shall only be to the best
     knowledge of the Bank) or the consummation by the Bank of the transactions
     contemplated by this Agreement and any agreement with a Distribution Agent
     to purchase such Bank Notes as principal, except (A) such as may be
     required by the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in
     connection with the offer and sale of the Bank Notes and (B) with respect
     to Subordinated Notes, such approvals of the Georgia Department of Banking
     and Finance as are required by Section 7-1-419 of the Official Code of
     Georgia, which approvals have been obtained.

          (viii) Description of Bank Notes. The Bank Notes are substantially in
     the form heretofore delivered to the Distribution Agents and conform in all
     material respects to the description thereof contained in the Offering
     Circular under the caption "Description of Notes."

          (ix) Priority of Bank Notes. The Senior Notes are unsecured and
     unsubordinated debt obligations of the Bank and rank pari passu among
     themselves and with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations
     of the Bank except, (A) pursuant to Section 11(d)(11) of the Federal
     Deposit Insurance Act, the Bank's unsecured deposit obligations and (B)
     pursuant to Section 7-1-202 of the Official Code of Georgia, the Bank's
     deposit obligations. The Subordinated Notes are unsecured and subordinated
     debt obligations of the Bank, rank pari passu among themselves, and are
     subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Bank's obligations to
     depositors and general creditors, other than obligations which, by their
     express terms, rank on a parity with or junior to the Subordinated Notes.
     Upon issuance, the Subordinated Notes will qualify as Tier 2 capital of the
     Bank (within the meaning of Appendix A to 12 C.F.R. Part 208).

          (x) No Violation. Neither the Bank or any of its subsidiaries nor
     SunTrust Banks or any of its subsidiaries is in violation of its charter or
     by-laws or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation,
     agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture,
     mortgage loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which it is a
     party or by which it or any of them or their properties may be bound which
     might result in a material adverse change in the condition, financial or
     otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of
     the Bank and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, or might
     materially and adversely affect the properties or assets thereof or might
     materially and adversely affect the consummation of this Agreement, the
     Global Agency Agreement, the Interest Calculation Agreement, the Exchange
     Rate Agent Agreement, the Letters of Representations or the Bank


                                        6



     Notes or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. The execution,
     issuance and delivery by the Bank of the Bank Notes, and the execution,
     delivery and performance by the Bank of this Agreement, the Global Agency
     Agreement, the Interest Calculation Agreement, the Exchange Rate Agent
     Agreement, the Letters of Representations and any applicable Terms
     Agreement, will not violate any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or
     decree applicable to SunTrust Banks and its subsidiaries or to the Bank and
     any of its subsidiaries (including without limitation, Sections 7-1-291 and
     7-1-419 of the Official Code of Georgia) or violate any provision of the
     Bank's charter or by-laws, or conflict with or result in a material breach
     of or constitute a material default under, or result in the creation or
     imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or
     assets of SunTrust Banks and its subsidiaries or the Bank and any of its
     subsidiaries pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage loan agreement,
     note, lease or other instrument to which SunTrust Banks or any of its
     subsidiaries or the Bank or any of its subsidiaries, or the property of any
     of them, is bound or subject.

          (xi) No Material Adverse Change. Since the respective dates as of
     which information is given or incorporated by reference in the Offering
     Circular (a) there has not been any material adverse change, or any
     development which could be expected to result in a material adverse change,
     in the condition, financial or otherwise, or business affairs or business
     prospects of the Bank and its subsidiaries or of SunTrust Banks and its
     subsidiaries, as the case may be, considered as one enterprise, whether or
     not arising in the ordinary course of business, other than as set forth or
     contemplated in the Offering Circular (including the material incorporated
     by reference therein), and (b) there have been no material transactions
     entered into by the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or SunTrust Banks and
     any of its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, other than those in
     the ordinary course of business.

          (xii) Rating. The Senior Notes of the Bank have been rated by a
     "nationally recognized statistical rating agency" (as that term is defined
     by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for purposes
     of Rule 436(g)(2) under the 1933 Act), in one of its four highest
     categories.

          (xiii) Financial Statements and Financial Information. The financial
     statements and other financial information of SunTrust Banks and its
     consolidated subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the
     Offering Circular present fairly the consolidated financial position of
     SunTrust Banks and its consolidated subsidiaries, as of the dates indicated
     therein and the consolidated results of their operations for the periods
     specified therein; and except as stated therein, such financial statements
     have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
     principles in the United States applied on a consistent basis; the Call
     Reports and other financial information of the Bank included or

subsequent thereto.

SECTION 3. Purchases as Principal; Solicitations as Distribution Agents.

     (a) Purchases as Principal. Unless otherwise agreed to by a Distribution
Agent and the Bank, Bank Notes shall be purchased by the Distribution Agent as
principal. Such purchases shall be made in accordance with terms agreed upon by
the Distribution Agent and the Bank with respect to such information (as
applicable) as is


                                        8



specified in Exhibit A hereto (which terms shall be agreed upon orally, and
which may or may not be confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit A, prepared
by the Distribution Agent and mailed or sent via facsimile transmission to the
Bank) and, in the case of sales to Distribution Agents on a syndicated basis, a
separate terms agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto. Any oral
or written agreement entered into pursuant to the previous sentence, including
any agreement in the form of Exhibit G hereof, is referred to herein as a "Terms
Agreement". The Distribution Agent's commitment to purchase Bank Notes as
principal shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations
and warranties of the Bank herein contained and shall be subject to the terms
and conditions herein set forth. Each purchase of Bank Notes shall be at a
discount from the principal amount of each such Bank Note equivalent to the
commission to be agreed to by the Bank and each such Distribution Agent and set
forth in the Terms Agreement. The Distribution Agent may engage the services of
any other broker or dealer in connection with the resale of the Bank Notes
purchased as principal and may allow any portion of the discount received in
connection with such purchases from the Bank to such brokers and dealers. At the
time of each purchase of Bank Notes by a Distribution Agent as principal, the
Distribution Agent shall specify the requirements for the opinions of counsel,
officers' certificates and the accountant's letter pursuant to Sections 6(a),
6(b) and 6(d) hereof. The resale of any Bank Notes acquired by such Distribution
Agent as principal shall be subject to all of the applicable selling
restrictions set forth in Exhibit F hereto.

     (b) Solicitations as Distribution Agents. On the basis of the
representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and
conditions herein set forth, when agreed upon by the Bank and a Distribution
Agent, such Distribution Agent, as an agent of the Bank, will use its reasonable
efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Bank Notes upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein and in the Offering Circular. All Bank Notes sold
through a Distribution Agent as agent will be sold at 100% of their principal
amount unless otherwise agreed to by the Bank and the Distribution Agent.

     The Bank reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend
solicitation of purchases of the Bank Notes through the Distribution Agents, as
agents, commencing at any time for any period of time or permanently. Upon
receipt of instructions from the Bank, the Distribution Agents will forthwith
suspend solicitation of purchases from the Bank until such time as the Bank has
advised the Distribution Agents that such solicitation may be resumed. During
such period, the Bank shall not be required to comply with the provisions of
Sections 8(b), (c) and (d). Upon advising the Distribution Agents that such
solicitation may be resumed, however, the Bank shall simultaneously provide the
documents required to be delivered by Sections 8(b), (c) and (d), and the
Distribution Agents shall have no obligation to solicit offers to purchase the
Bank Notes until such documentation has been received by the Distribution
Agents.

     The Bank agrees to pay each Distribution Agent a commission, in the form of
a discount, equal to the applicable percentage of the principal amount of each
Bank Note sold by the Bank as a result of a solicitation made by such
Distribution Agent as agreed to by the Bank and each such Distribution Agent and
set forth in a Terms Agreement.


                                        9



The Distribution Agents may reallow any portion of the commission payable
pursuant hereto to dealers in connection with the offer and sale of the Bank
Notes.

     (c) Administrative Procedures. The purchase price, interest rate or
formula, maturity date and other terms of the Bank Notes (as applicable)
specified in Exhibit A hereto shall be agreed upon by the Bank and the
applicable Distribution Agent and set forth in a pricing supplement to the
Offering Circular to be prepared in connection with each sale of Bank Notes.
Administrative procedures with respect to the sale of Bank Notes shall be agreed
upon from time to time by the Distribution Agents and the Bank (the
"Procedures"). The initial Procedures, as agreed upon by the Distribution Agents
and the Bank, are attached hereto as Exhibit H. The Distribution Agents and the
Bank agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically
provided to be performed by the Distribution Agents and the Bank herein and in
the Procedures.

     (d) Delivery. The documents required to be delivered by Section 6 hereof
shall be delivered at the office of Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP, on the date
hereof, or at such other time as the Distribution Agents and the Bank may agree
upon in writing (the "Closing Time").

SECTION 4. Covenants of the Bank.

     The Bank covenants with the Distribution Agents as follows:

     (a) Amending Offering Circular. The Bank will give the Distribution Agents
notice of its intention to prepare any additional offering circular supplement
with respect to the sale of the Bank Notes or any amendment or supplement to the
Offering Circular and will furnish the Distribution Agents with copies of any
such amendment or supplement or other documents proposed to be distributed a
reasonable time in advance of such proposed distribution and will not distribute
any such amendment or supplement or other documents in a form to which the
Distribution Agents or counsel for the Distribution Agents shall reasonably
object.

     (b) Copies of Offering Circular. The Bank will deliver to the Distribution
Agents as many copies of the Offering Circular (as amended or supplemented,
including documents incorporated by reference therein) as the Distribution
Agents shall reasonably request in connection with sales or solicitations of
offers to purchase the Bank Notes.

     (c) Revisions of Offering Circular - Material Changes. Except as otherwise
provided in Subsection (d) of this Section 4, if any event shall occur or
condition exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion
of counsel for the Distribution Agents or counsel for the Bank, to amend or
supplement the Offering Circular in order that the Offering Circular will not
include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser,
immediate notice shall be given, and confirmed in writing, to the Distribution
Agents to cease the solicitation of offers to purchase the Bank Notes in their
capacity as agents and to cease sales of the Bank Notes the Distribution Agents
may then own as


                                       10



principal, and the Bank will promptly prepare such amendment or supplement as
may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission. The Distribution
Agents shall, at such time as the Bank shall have furnished to the Distribution
Agents an amended or supplemented Offering Circular in form satisfactory to the
Distribution Agents and their counsel, resume solicitation of offers to purchase
Bank Notes using the Offering Circular so amended and supplemented. The Bank
agrees to update the Offering Circular through amendment or supplement no less
than annually from the date hereof.

     (d) Suspension of Certain Obligations. The Bank shall not be required to
comply with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section 4 during any period
from the later of the time (i) the Distribution Agents shall have suspended
solicitation of purchases of the Bank Notes in their capacity as agents pursuant
to a request from the Bank and (ii) no Distribution Agent shall then hold any
Bank Notes purchased as principal pursuant hereto, until the time the Bank shall
determine that solicitation of purchases of the Bank Notes should be resumed or
the Distribution Agent shall subsequently purchase Bank Notes from the Bank as
principal.

     (e) Regulatory Reports. Upon request, the Bank shall provide the
Distribution Agents with copies of the publicly available portion of any reports
required to be filed by the Bank or SunTrust Banks with any United States or
state supervisory or regulatory authority as promptly as reasonably practicable
after such reports become publicly available.

     (f) Preparation of Pricing Supplements. The Bank will prepare, with respect
to the Bank Notes to be sold through or to the Distribution Agents pursuant to
this Agreement, a pricing supplement with respect to the Bank Notes in a form
previously approved by the Distribution Agents.

     (g) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Bank will endeavor, in cooperation with
the Distribution Agents, to qualify the Bank Notes for offering and sale under
the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions of the
United States as the Distribution Agents may designate, and will maintain such
qualifications in effect for as long as may be required for the distribution of
the Bank Notes; provided, however, that the Bank shall not be obligated to file
any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation
in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified. The Bank will file such
statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in
which the Bank Notes have been qualified as above provided. The Bank will
promptly advise the Distribution Agents of the receipt by the Bank of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Bank
Notes for sale in any such state or jurisdiction or the initiating or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

     (h) Stand-Off Agreement. In connection with a purchase by a Distribution
Agent of Bank Notes as principal, between the date of the agreement to purchase
such Bank Notes and the Settlement Date with respect to such purchase, the Bank
will not, without the prior consent of the Distribution Agent who is party to
such agreement, offer or sell, or enter into any agreement to sell, any debt
securities of the Bank (other than the


                                       11



Bank Notes that are to be sold pursuant to such agreement and deposit and other
bank obligations issued and sold directly by the Bank in the ordinary course of

agrees that it will comply with the terms set out in the section headed "United

Distribution Agent, any


                                       13

approval of the Distribution Agents.

SECTION 9. Indemnification.

     (a) Indemnification of Distribution Agents. The Bank agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Distribution Agent, each person who controls any
Distribution Agent and each affiliate of any Distribution Agent which assists
such Distribution Agent in the distribution of the Bank Notes within the meaning
of the 1933 Act or of the 1934 Act against any and all losses, claims, damages,
expenses or liabilities, to which they or any of them may become subject under
the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or other Federal or state statutory law or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, as incurred, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Offering Circular (including for purposes of this
Section 9 all amendments and supplements thereto and any of the documents
incorporated by reference therein), or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to
reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Bank
will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, expense or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Bank by or on behalf of any Distribution Agent specifically for use in the
Offering Circular. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which the Bank may otherwise have.


                                       16



     (b) Indemnification of the Bank. Each Distribution Agent severally agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank and each person who controls the Bank
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or of the 1934 Act to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Bank to each Distribution Agent, but only with
reference to written information furnished to the Bank by or on behalf of such
Distribution Agent specifically for use in the Offering Circular. This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Distribution Agent may
otherwise have.

     (c) Notification. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any
governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or
asserted against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the "Indemnified
Person") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be
sought (the "Indemnifying Person") in writing, and the Indemnifying Person, upon
request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others the
Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any
Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person
unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have
mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within
a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified
Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is
understood that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any
proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall
be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Distribution
Agents, each affiliate of any Distribution Agent which assists such Distribution
Agent in the distribution of the Bank Notes and such control persons of the
Distribution Agents shall be designated in writing by the Distribution Agents
that are Indemnified Parties and any such separate firm for the Bank, its
directors, its officers and such control persons of the Bank or authorized
representatives shall be designated in writing by the Bank. The Indemnifying
Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without
its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify any
Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse
the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the
third sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall
be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt
by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Indemnifying
Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such
request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall,


                                       17



without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

SECTION 10. Contribution.

     If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) or (b) of Section 9
is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein in connection with
any offering of Bank Notes, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph,
in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative benefits received by the Bank on the one hand and each
Distribution Agent on the other from the offering of the Bank Notes to which
such loss, claim, damage or liability relates or (ii) if the allocation provided
by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
above but also the relative fault of the Bank on the one hand and each
Distribution Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
Bank on the one hand and each Distribution Agent on the other in connection with
the offering of such Bank Notes shall be deemed to be in the same respective
proportion as the net proceeds from the offering of such Bank Notes (before
deducting expenses) received by the Bank and the total discounts and commissions
received by each Distribution Agent in respect thereof bear to the aggregate
offering price of such Bank Notes. The relative fault of the Bank on the one
hand and of each Distribution Agent on the other 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
relates to information supplied by the Bank or by such Distribution Agent and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or the omission or alleged omission.

     The Bank and each Distribution Agent agrees that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if all Distribution Agents were treated as one entity for
such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10. The amount
paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims,
damages and liabilities referred to above in Sections 9 and 10 shall be deemed
to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other
expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9
and 10, in no event shall a Distribution Agent be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Bank Notes
referred to in Section 10 that were sold by or through such Distribution Agent
exceeds the amount of any damages that such Distribution Agent has otherwise
been required to pay by


                                       18



reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligation
of each Distribution Agent to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 is several
(in the proportion that the principal amount of the Bank Notes the sale of which
by or through such Distribution Agent gave rise to such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities bears to the aggregate principal amount of the Bank Notes the
sale of which by or through any Distribution Agent gave rise to such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities) and is not joint.

SECTION 11. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

     All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement
or contained in certificates of officers of the Bank pursuant hereto, shall
remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Distribution Agents or any controlling person of a
Distribution Agent, or by or on behalf of the Bank, and shall survive each
delivery of and payment for any of the Bank Notes.

SECTION 12. Termination.

     (a) Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement (excluding any agreement
hereunder by a Distribution Agent to purchase Bank Notes as principal) may be
terminated for any reason, at any time by either the Bank or any of the
Distribution Agents as to itself, immediately upon the giving of 30 days written
notice of such termination to the other party hereto in accordance with the
provisions of Section 13 hereof.

     (b) Termination of an Agreement to Purchase Bank Notes as Principal. A
Distribution Agent may terminate an agreement hereunder by such Distribution
Agent to purchase Bank Notes as principal, immediately upon written notice to
the Bank, at any time prior to the Settlement Date relating thereto (i) if there
has been, since the date of such agreement or since the respective dates as of
which information is given in the Offering Circular, any material adverse
change, or any development which could be expected to result in a material
adverse change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings,
business affairs or business prospects of the Bank and its subsidiaries, or of
SunTrust Banks and its subsidiaries, as the case may be, considered as one
enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii)
if there shall have occurred any material adverse change in the financial
markets in the United States or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or
other national or international calamity or crisis the effect of which is such
as to make it, in the judgment of such Distribution Agent, impracticable to
market the Bank Notes or enforce contracts for the sale of the Bank Notes, or
(iii) there shall have occurred a change in international financial, political
or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls as would
be likely to prejudice materially the sale by such Distribution Agent of the
Bank Notes, or (iv) if trading in any securities of the Bank or SunTrust Banks
shall have been suspended by the Commission or a national securities exchange,
or if trading generally on any of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the New York
Stock Exchange or the Chicago Board of


                                       19



Trade shall have been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall
have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been
required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission or any other
governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium shall have been declared by
either federal, New York State or Georgia authorities, as the case may be, or
there shall have occurred a material disruption in commercial banking or
securities clearance settlement services in the United States, or (v) if the
rating assigned by any nationally recognized securities rating agency to any
debt securities of the Bank or SunTrust Banks as of the date of any agreement by
a Distribution Agent to purchase the Bank Notes as principal shall have been
lowered since that date or if any such rating agency shall have publicly
announced that it has placed under surveillance or review, other than with
positive implications, its rating of any debt securities or deposits of the Bank
or SunTrust Banks, or (vi) if there shall have come to such Distribution Agent's
attention any facts that would cause such Distribution Agent to believe that the
Offering Circular or any amendments thereto or supplements thereof, at the time
it was required to be delivered to a purchaser of Bank Notes, contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
existing at the time of such delivery, not misleading.

     (c) General.

     In the event of any such termination, none of the parties will have any
liability to the other parties hereto, except that (i) the Distribution Agents
shall be entitled to any commissions earned in accordance with the third
paragraph of Section 3(b) hereof, (ii) if at the time of termination (a) a
Distribution Agent shall own any Bank Notes purchased with the intention of
reselling them or (b) an offer to purchase any of the Bank Notes has been
accepted by the Bank but the time of delivery to the purchaser or his agent of
the Bank Note or Bank Notes relating thereto has not occurred, the covenants set
forth in Sections 4 and 8 hereof shall remain in effect until such Bank Notes
are so resold or delivered, as the case may be, and (iii) the provisions of
Section 5 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in
Sections 9 and 10 hereof, and the provisions of Section 11, 14 and 15 hereof
shall remain in effect.

           [FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE BANK AND SUNTRUST BANKS]

DISTRIBUTION AGENTS, as set forth in Schedule I hereto
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas
Trust & Securities Services
60 Wall Street-27th Floor
New York, NY 10005

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     I am the General Counsel of SunTrust Banks, Inc. ("SunTrust Banks") and
SunTrust Bank (the "Bank") and, together with other attorneys under my
supervision have acted as counsel to the Bank and SunTrust Banks, in connection
with the execution today (i) by you and the Bank of the Amended and Restated
Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement"), (ii) by SunTrust Banks of
the Representations Certificate pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Distribution
Agreement (the "Representations Certificate"), and (iii) by the Bank and
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Deutsche Bank AG London, Deutsche Bank
Luxembourg S.A. (together, the "Paying Agents") and Kredietbank S.A.
Luxembourgeoise of the Amended and Restated Global Agency Agreement (the "Global
Agency Agreement"), the Amended and Restated Interest Calculation Agreement
between the Bank and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas dated as of March 31,
2004 (the "Interest Calculation Agreement"), the Amended and Restated Exchange
Rate Agent Agreement between the Bank and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas
dated March 31, 2004 (the "Exchange Rate Agent Agreement) and (iv) by the Bank,
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and The Depository Trust Company of the
Short-Term and Medium-Term Letters of Representations (the "Letters of
Representations"), all of which are dated March 31, 2004, relating to the
issuance and sale by the Bank of its (i) senior bank notes (the "Senior Notes")
and (ii) subordinated bank notes (the "Subordinated Notes" and together with the
Senior Notes, the "Bank Notes"). The Bank Notes have maturities of 7 days to 30
years or more from date of issue. This opinion letter is furnished pursuant to
Section 6(a)(i) of the Distribution Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Distribution Agreement.

     In arriving at the opinions expressed below, I have examined and relied on
the following documents:

     (a)  an executed copy of the Distribution Agreement, the Representations
          Certificate, the Global Agency Agreement, the Exchange Rate Agent
          Agreement and the Interest Calculation Agreement;

     (b)  the Offering Circular;


                                       B-1



     (c)  specimens of the Bank Notes; and

     (d)  the documents delivered to you by the Bank and SunTrust Banks at the
          closing pursuant to the Distribution Agreement.

In addition, I have examined and relied on the originals or copies certified or
otherwise identified to my satisfaction of all such corporate records of the
Bank and SunTrust Banks and such other instruments and other certificates of
public officials, officers and representatives of the Bank and SunTrust Banks
and such other persons, and I have made such investigations of law, as I have
deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below. In rendering the
opinions expressed below, I have assumed and have not verified that the
signatures on all documents that I have examined are genuine, that all copies of
documents that I have examined conform to the originals thereof, and that the
Bank Notes conform to the specimen thereof that I have examined.

     Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

          1. The Bank is a banking corporation validly existing and in good
     standing under the laws of the State of Georgia. SunTrust Banks is a
     corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
     State of Georgia and is licensed, registered or qualified to conduct the
     business in which it is engaged in each jurisdiction in which the conduct
     of its business or its ownership or leasing of property requires such
     license, registration or qualification, except to the extent that the
     failure to be so licensed, registered or qualified or to be in good
     standing would not have a material adverse effect on the Bank and its
     subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
     SunTrust Banks, which has securities registered under the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

          2. The Distribution Agreement, the Global Agency Agreement, the
     Interest Calculation Agreement, the Exchange Rate Agent Agreement and the
     Letters of Representations have been duly authorized, executed and
     delivered by the Bank and, assuming due authorization, execution and
     delivery by all parties thereto other than the Bank, are legal, valid,
     binding and enforceable agreements of the Bank, subject to applicable
     bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
     moratorium, conservatorship, receivership, and similar laws of general
     applicability relating to, or affecting, creditors' rights and subject, as
     to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
     enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

          3. The Representations Certificate has been duly authorized, executed
     and delivered by a duly authorized officer of SunTrust Banks and, assuming
     due authorization, execution and delivery of the Distribution Agreement,
     the Global Agency Agreement, the Interest Calculation Agreement and the
     Exchange Rate Agent Agreement by all parties thereto other than the Bank,
     is a legal, valid, binding and enforceable agreement of SunTrust Banks,
     subject to applicable bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, fraudulent
     transfer, reorganization, moratorium, conservatorship, receivership and
     similar laws of general


                                       B-2



     applicability relating to, or affecting, creditors' rights and subject, as
     to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
     enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

          4. The Bank Notes have been duly authorized for issuance and sale
     pursuant to the Distribution Agreement and, when issued and authenticated
     against payment of the consideration therefor, the Bank Notes will be
     legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Bank, subject to
     applicable bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
     reorganization, moratorium, conservatorship, receivership, and similar laws
     of general applicability relating to, or affecting creditors rights and
     subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless
     of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

          5. The execution, issuance and delivery by the Bank of the Bank Notes,
     the execution, delivery and performance by the Bank of the Distribution
     Agreement, the Global Agency Agreement, the Interest Calculation Agreement,
     the Exchange Rate Agency Agreement, the Letters of Representations and any
     agreement by an agent party to the Distribution Agreement to purchase the
     Bank Notes as principal, and the execution, delivery and performance by
     SunTrust Banks of the Representations Certificate, do not violate any law,
     rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to SunTrust Banks
     and its subsidiaries or the Bank and its subsidiaries (including without
     limitation, Sections 7-1-291 and 7-1-419 of the Official Code of Georgia),
     if any, or violate any provision of each of the Bank's or SunTrust Banks'
     Charter, Bylaws, or Articles of Incorporation, as the case may be, or
     conflict with or result in a material breach of or constitute a material
     default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any material
     lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of SunTrust Banks
     and its subsidiaries or the Bank and its subsidiaries, if any, pursuant to
     any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other
     instrument known to me to which SunTrust Banks or any of its subsidiaries
     or the Bank and its subsidiaries if any, or the property of any of them, is
     bound or subject.

          6. The Bank Notes are exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(2)
     of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and neither
     registration of the Bank Notes under the 1933 Act, nor qualification of an
     indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, is required in
     connection with the offer, sale, issuance or delivery of the Bank Notes
     pursuant to the Distribution Agreement or any applicable agreement by an
     agent party to the Distribution Agreement to purchase the Bank Notes as
     principal.

          7. The Bank is not required to register under the provisions of the
     Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").

          8. No consent, approval or authorization of or filing with any Federal
     or Georgia governmental body or agency is required for the performance by
     the Bank of its obligations under the Distribution Agreement, the Global
     Agency


                                       B-3



     Agreement, the Interest Calculation Agreement, the Exchange Rate Agent
     Agreement, and any applicable agreement by an agent party to the
     Distribution Agreement to purchase the Bank Notes as principal or the Bank
     Notes, except (A) such as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky
     laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the
     Bank Notes and (B) with respect to Subordinated Notes, such approvals of
     the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance as are required by Section
     7-1-419 of the Official Code of Georgia, which approvals have been
     obtained.

          9. The Bank Notes conform in all material respects to the description
     thereof contained in the Offering Circular under the caption "Description
     of Notes."

          10. The Senior Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations
     of the Bank, and rank pari passu among themselves and with all other
     unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Bank except, (A)
     pursuant to Section 11(d)(11) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the
     Bank's unsecured deposit obligations and (B) pursuant to Section 7-1-202 of
     the Official Code of Georgia, the Bank's deposit obligations. The
     Subordinated Notes are unsecured and subordinated debt obligations of the
     Bank, rank pari passu among themselves, and are subordinate and junior in
     right of payment to the Bank's obligations to its depositors and general
     creditors, other than obligations which, by their express terms, rank on a
     parity with or junior to the Subordinated Notes.

          11. Except as may be set forth in the Offering Circular, there is no
     action, suit or proceeding before or by any court or governmental agency or
     body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to my knowledge, threatened
     against or affecting, SunTrust Banks or any of its subsidiaries or the Bank
     and its subsidiaries, if any, which if determined adversely to SunTrust
     Banks or any of its subsidiaries or the Bank and its subsidiaries, as the
     case may be, could reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse
     change in the financial condition, or in the earnings or business affairs,
     of SunTrust Banks and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the Bank and
     its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or could reasonably be expected to
     materially and adversely affect the consummation of the Distribution
     Agreement, the Global Agency Agreement, the Interest Calculation Agreement,
     the Exchange Rate Agent Agreement or the Bank Notes or any transaction
     contemplated thereby.

     Because the primary purpose of my role in the transaction was not to
establish or confirm factual matters or financial, accounting or statistical
matters and because of the wholly or partially non-legal character of many of
the statements contained in the Offering Circular, I am not passing upon and do
not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the
statements contained in the Offering Circular and I make no representation that
I have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such
statements. Without limiting the foregoing, I assume no responsibility for, and
have not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the
financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data


                                       B-4



included in the Offering Circular, and I have not examined the accounting,
financial or statistical records from which such financial statements, schedules
and data are derived. I note that, while certain portions of the Offering
Circular (including financial statements and schedules) have been included
therein on the authority of "experts" within the meaning of the 1933 Act, as
amended, I am not such an expert with respect to any portion of the Offering
Circular, including without limitation such financial statements or schedules or
the other financial or statistical data included therein.

     I advise you that no information has come to my attention that causes me to
believe that the Offering Circular (other than the financial statements and
schedules and other financial and statistical data included therein, as to which
I express no view) as of the date thereof or hereof, contained or contains an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

     I express no opinion other than as to the federal law of the United States
of America and the laws of the State of Georgia.

     I am furnishing this opinion letter to you solely for your benefit. This
opinion letter is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to
for any other purpose, except that Sidley Austin Brown & Wood LLP may rely upon
this opinion letter to the same extent as if it were addressed to it for
purposes of rendering its opinion to you on the date hereof.

                                           Very truly yours,


                                       B-5



                                                                       EXHIBIT C

     leasing of property requires such license, registration or qualification,
     except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed, registered or

     effect on SunTrust Banks and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          (iv) No Material Adverse Change. Since the respective dates as of
     which information is given in the Offering Circular, there has not been any

Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

not satisfied its obligations so to indemnify and to contribute pursuant to
Section 9(a) and 10 of the Distribution Agreement.

     All representations and warranties contained in this certificate shall
remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation

SALES RESTRICTIONS

GENERAL

     No action has been taken by the Bank or any of the Distribution Agents that
would permit a public offering of its (i) senior unsecured debt obligations not
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") (the "Senior
Notes") and (ii) subordinated unsecured debt obligations not insured by the FDIC
(the "Subordinated Notes") and together with the Senior Notes, the "Bank Notes")
or possession or distribution of the Offering Circular, including any
supplements thereto, or any other offering material in any jurisdiction outside
the United States where action for that purpose is required other than as
described below. Accordingly, each Distribution Agent has represented, warranted
and agreed, and each other distribution agent will be required to represent,
warrant and agree, that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations
in force in any such jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers or sells Bank
Notes or possesses or distributes the Offering Circular, including any
supplements thereto, or any other offering material and will obtain any consent,
approval or permission required by it for the purchase, offer or sale by it of
Bank Notes under the laws and regulations in force in any such jurisdiction to
which it is subject or in which it makes such purchases, offers or sales and
neither the Bank nor any other Distribution Agent shall have responsibility
therefor.

     With regard to each Bank Note, the relevant purchaser will be required to
comply with such restrictions as the Bank and the relevant purchaser shall agree
and as shall be set out in the applicable Pricing Supplement. The following
selling restrictions may be modified by the Bank and the relevant Distribution
Agents following a change in the relevant law, regulation or directive. Any such
modification will be set out in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

UNITED STATES LAW

3(a)(2) of the Securities Act.


                                       F-1



     Bearer Notes are subject to United States tax law requirements and may not
be offered, sold, resold or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United

permitted by United States tax regulations. Any underwriters, Distribution
Agents and dealers participating in the offering of Bearer Notes, directly or
indirectly, will be required to agree that they will not, in connection with the
original issuance of any Bearer Notes or during the restricted period offer,
sell, resell or deliver, directly or indirectly, any Bearer Notes in the United
States or its possessions or to United States persons (other than as permitted

underwriters, agents and dealers will be required to have procedures reasonably
designed to ensure that their employees or agents who are directly engaged in
selling Bearer Notes are aware of the above restrictions on the offering, sale,
resale or delivery of Bearer Notes. Terms used in this paragraph have the
meaning given to them by the Code.

     more, it has not offered or sold and, prior to the expiry of the period of

     any such Bank Notes to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons
     whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or

     not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the
     meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995, as amended;

          (ii) in relation to any Bank Notes which have a maturity of less than

     businesses or who it is reasonable to expect will acquire, hold, manage or
     dispose of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their
     businesses where the issue of the Bank Notes would otherwise constitute a
     contravention of Section 19 of the FSMA by the Bank;

          (iii) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will
     only communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement

     (2)  each Distribution Agent represents and agrees that it has and
          throughout the Restricted Period will have in effect procedures
          reasonably designed to ensure that its employees or Distribution
          Agents who are directly engaged in selling Bearer Notes are aware that
          Bearer Notes may not be offered or sold during the Restricted Period

          Bearer Notes for its own account, it will only do so in accordance
          with the requirements of Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(6) of the D
          Rules; and

     (4)  With respect to each affiliate that acquires from it Bearer Notes for
          the purpose of offering or selling Bearer Notes during the Restricted

To: The Agents Listed on Annex 1 Hereto

Re: SunTrust Bank (the "Issuer")
    US$20,000,000,000 Global Bank Note Program

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     The Issuer proposes to issue and sell the _____% Global Bank Notes due
_________________ (the "Notes") to the agents listed on Annex 1 hereto
(collectively, the "Agents"). The Agents agree to purchase on a syndicated basis
the Notes as described in the pricing supplement attached as Annex 2 hereto (the
"Pricing Supplement"), on the terms set out in such Pricing Supplement and on
the terms set out below. The sale of the Notes will be subject to the terms and
conditions stated herein and in the Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement,
dated March 31, 2004 ( the "Distribution Agreement"), among the Issuer and the
Distribution Agents named therein. Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms
used herein have the meanings given to them in the Distribution Agreement. Each
of the provisions of the Distribution Agreement is incorporated herein by
reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be part of this Agreement to
the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein.

1.   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement and this
     Agreement, the Issuer hereby agrees to issue the Notes, and the Agents
     severally agree to purchase the Notes (in the proportions set out next to
     each Agent's name in Annex I hereto) at the purchase price of _______ per
     Note (being equal to the issue price of __% of the principal amount less a
     combined underwriting commission of __% of the principal amount);

2.   The purchase price specified above will be paid by the lead Distribution
     Agent on behalf of the Agents by wire transfer in immediately available
     funds to the Issuer at ______ (____ time) on _______, ___, or such other
     time and/or date as the Issuer and the lead Distribution Agent on behalf of
     the Agents may agree (the "Settlement Time") against delivery of the Notes
     to or upon your order in the manner contemplated in the Distribution
     Agreement, the Amended and Restated Global Agency Agreement or otherwise.

3.   The Agents' obligations hereunder are conditional on the receipt of: (i)
     opinions of counsel described in Section 8(c) of the Distribution
     Agreement, dated as of the Settlement Time, (ii) a "comfort letter"
     described in Section 8(d) of the Distribution Agreement, dated as of the
     Settlement Time, (iii) the officer's certificates described in Section 8(b)
     of the Distribution Agreement, dated as of the Settlement Time; and (iv)
     such other opinions, certificates and documents as


                                       G-1



     may be agreed by the Issuer and the Agents on or prior to the date of this
     Agreement.

4.   If one or more of the Agents shall fail at the Settlement Time to purchase
     the Bank Notes which it or they are obligated to purchase under this
     Agreement (the "Defaulted Bank Notes"), the lead Distribution Agent shall
     have the right, within 36 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or
     more of the non-defaulting Agents, or any other agents, to purchase all,
     but not less than all, of the Defaulted Bank Notes in such amounts as may
     be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the lead
     Distribution Agent shall not have completed such arrangements within such
     36-hour period, then:

          (a) if the principal amount of Defaulted Bank Notes does not exceed
     10% of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased on such date, each of
     the non-defaulting Agents shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to
     purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective
     underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of
     all non-defaulting Agents, or

          (b) if the principal amount of Defaulted Bank Notes exceeds 10% of the
     principal amount of Notes to be purchased on such date, this Agreement
     shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Agent.

     No action taken pursuant to this section shall relieve any defaulting Agent
from liability in respect of its default.

     In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of
this Agreement either the Lead Agent or the Issuer shall have the right to
postpone the Settlement Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to
effect any required changes in any documents or arrangements. As used herein,
the term "Agent" includes any person substituted for an Agent under this Section
4.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                       H-6



                            If settlement of a Book-Entry Note is rescheduled or
                            canceled, the Registrar will deliver to DTC, through
                            DTC's Participant Terminal System, a cancellation
                            message to such effect by no later than 5:00 p.m.,
                            New York City time, on the Business Day immediately
                            preceding the scheduled Settlement Date.

Failure to Settle:          If the Registrar fails to enter an SDFS deliver
                            order with respect to a Book-Entry Note pursuant to
                            Settlement Procedure F, then the Registrar may
                            deliver to DTC, through DTC's Participant Terminal
                            System, as soon as practicable a withdrawal message
                            instructing DTC to debit such Book-Entry Note to the
                            participant account of the Registrar maintained at
                            DTC. DTC will process the withdrawal message;
                            provided that such participant account contains a
                            principal amount of the Global Note representing
                            such Book-Entry Note that is at least equal to the
                            principal amount to be debited. If withdrawal
                            messages are processed with respect to all
                            Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Note, the
                            Registrar will mark such Global Note "canceled" and
                            make appropriate entries in its records. The CUSIP
                            number assigned to such Global Note shall, in
                            accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be
                            canceled and not immediately reassigned. If
                            withdrawal messages are processed with respect to
                            some of the Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global
                            Note, the Registrar will exchange such Global Note
                            for two Global Bank Notes, one of which shall
                            represent the Book-Entry Notes for which such
                            withdrawal messages are processed and shall be
                            canceled immediately after issuance, and the other
                            of which shall represent the other Book-Entry Notes
                            previously represented by the surrendered Global
                            Note and shall bear the CUSIP number of the
                            surrendered Global Note.

                            In the case of any Book-Entry Note sold through a
                            Distribution Agent, acting as agent, if the purchase
                            price for any Book-Entry Note is not timely paid to
                            the Participants with respect to such Book-Entry
                            Note by the beneficial purchaser thereof (or a
                            person, including an indirect participant in DTC,
                            acting on behalf of such purchaser), such
                            Participants and, in turn, the applicable
                            Distribution Agent may enter SDFS deliver orders
                            through DTC's Participant Terminal System reversing
                            the orders entered pursuant to Settlement Procedures
                            F and G, respectively. Thereafter, the Registrar
                            will


                                       H-7



                            deliver the withdrawal message and take the related
                            actions described in the preceding paragraph.

                            Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any failure to
                            settle with respect to a Book-Entry Note, DTC may
                            take any actions in accordance with its SDFS
                            operating procedures then in effect. In the event of
                            a failure to settle with respect to a Book-Entry
                            Note that was to have been represented by a Global
                            Note also representing other Book-Entry Notes, the
                            Registrar will provide, in accordance with
                            Settlement Procedure D, for the issuance of a Global
                            Note representing such remaining Book-Entry Notes
                            and will make appropriate entries in its records.

prior to the date on which any payment is to be made to the Domestic Paying
Agent or the London Paying Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section
13(a), of the total amount of any principal of premium, if any, and interest due
on Notes on any Interest Payment Date or any maturity date or date of redemption
or repayment and the


                                       16



Bank shall (i) before 10:00 a.m. (local time) on the second Business Day prior
to the date on which any payment with respect to any Notes becomes due, confirm
to the Domestic Paying Agent or the London Paying Agent, as the case may be, by
tested telex or facsimile or by other means acceptable to the Bank and
reasonably acceptable to the Domestic Paying Agent or the London Paying Agent,
as the case may be, that it has given instructions for the transfer of the
relevant funds to the Domestic Paying Agent or the London Paying Agent, as the
case may be, and the name and account of the bank through which such payment is
being made and provide details of the person or department in such bank to which
communications to such bank should be addressed and (ii) not later than the
Payment Time (as defined below) on the Business Day on which any payment with
respect to any Notes becomes due, transfer to an account specified by the
Domestic Paying Agent or the London Paying Agent, as the case may be, such
amount in the relevant currency as shall be sufficient for the purposes of such
payment in funds settled through such payment system as the Domestic Paying
Agent or the London Paying Agent, as the case may be, and the Bank may agree. As
used in this subsection (a), the term "Payment Time" means 10:00 a.m. local time
or, in the case of a payment in Euro, Brussels. For the purposes of this Section
13, all payments made to the Domestic Paying Agent or the London Paying Agent
shall be transmitted by the Bank's principal office (or such other office as
designated by the Bank).

     (b) Subject to the Domestic Paying Agent or the London Paying Agent, as the
case may be, being satisfied in its sole reasonable discretion that payment will
be duly made as provided in Section 13(a), the relevant Paying Agent may, but
shall not be required to, pay or cause to be paid all amounts due with respect
to the Notes on behalf of the Bank in the manner provided in the Notes. If any
payment provided for in Section 13(a) is made late but otherwise in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, each Paying Agent shall nevertheless make
payments with respect to the Notes as aforesaid following actual receipt by it
of such payment.

     (c) If for any reason the Domestic Paying Agent or the London Paying Agent,
as the case may be, considers in its sole reasonable discretion that the amounts
to be received by the Domestic Paying Agent or the London Paying Agent, as the
case may be, pursuant to Section 13(a) will be, or the amounts actually received
by it pursuant thereto are, insufficient to satisfy all claims with respect to
all payments then falling due with respect to the Notes, the Domestic Paying
Agent or the London Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall then forthwith
notify the Bank of such insufficiency and, until such time as the Domestic
Paying Agent or the London Paying Agent, as the case may be, has received the
full amount of all such payments in available funds, no Paying Agent shall be
obligated to pay any such claims.

SECTION 14. Determination and Notifications with respect to Notes.

as may be required in connection with Outstanding Series of Notes to the Bank of
England, the Ministry of Finance of Japan and, if required, the Swiss National
Bank, and, if agreed between the Bank and the London Paying Agent, shall take
all necessary action to comply with such other reporting requirements of any
competent authority in respect of any relevant currency as it may be directed,
in writing, from time to time with respect to Notes Outstanding hereunder.


                                       17



     (b) For purposes of monitoring the aggregate principal amount of Notes
Outstanding at any time under the Program, the Exchange Rate Agent shall
determine the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the principal amount of each Series of
Notes denominated in another currency, each Series of Dual Currency Notes, each
Series of Indexed Notes, each Series of Zero Coupon Notes and each Series of
Partly Paid Notes as follows:

          (i) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Notes denominated in a currency
     other than U.S. Dollars shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent as
     of 2:30 p.m., New York time, on the Original Issue Date for such Notes by
     reference to the spot rate for U.S. Dollars against the Specified Currency
     provided to the Exchange Rate Agent by the Bank or, if such spot rate is
     not so provided on a timely basis, by reference to the Exchange Rate
     Agent's middle market spot rate for U.S. Dollars against the Specified
     Currency on the London Business Day immediately preceding the date on which
     the Exchange Rate Agent receives the Bank's instruction to determine the
     amount of Notes Outstanding;

          (ii) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Dual Currency Notes and Indexed
     Notes shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent in the manner
     specified in clause (i) above by reference to the original principal amount
     of such Notes;

          (iii) the principal amount of Zero Coupon Notes and any other Notes
     issued at a substantial discount from the principal amount thereof shall be
     deemed to be the U.S. Dollar equivalent, determined in the manner specified
     in clause (i) above, of the net proceeds received by the Bank for the
     relevant issue; and

          (iv) the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Partly Paid Notes shall be
     determined by the Exchange Rate Agent in the manner specified in clause (i)
     above by reference to the principal amount thereof regardless of the amount
     of money paid up on such Notes.

The Exchange Rate Agent shall promptly notify the Bank and the Paying Agents of
each determination made as aforesaid. As used in this Section 14(b), "London
Business Day" means any day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which
commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in London.

SECTION 15. Notice of any Withholding or Deduction.

     If the Bank is, with respect to any payments, compelled to withhold or
deduct any amount for or on account of taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges as specifically contemplated under the terms of the Notes,
the Bank shall give notice thereof to each Paying Agent and the Registrar, if
applicable, as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement to make such
withholding or deduction and shall give to each Paying Agent and the Registrar,
if applicable, such information as such Paying Agent or the Registrar, as the
case may be, shall require to enable them to comply with such requirement.

SECTION 16. Redemption of Notes.

     (a) If any Notes are to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity Date in
accordance with their terms, the Bank shall notify the Agents not more than 75
nor less than 45 days prior to the relevant redemption date of the Bank's
election to redeem such Notes in whole or in part in


                                       18



increments of US$1,000 or the equivalent thereof in other currencies, or as
otherwise provided in the applicable Note or required by applicable laws and
regulations for currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Any remaining principal
amount of Notes redeemed in part shall be at least US$100,000, or the equivalent
thereof in other currencies, or as otherwise provided in the applicable Note or
required by the applicable laws and regulations for currencies other than the
U.S. Dollar.

     (b) 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
Registrar by lot or in any usual manner approved by it. The Registrar shall
promptly notify the Bank in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in
the case of Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof
to be redeemed.

     (c) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Note, notice of redemption
shall be given by the Registrar, a Paying Agent or the London Issuing Agent, as
designated in the particular instance by the Bank, at the Bank's expense, not
more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the redemption date to each
holder of a Note to be redeemed. Notices in respect of Registered Notes to be
redeemed shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder's
address appearing in the Note Register. In the case of Bearer Notes to be
redeemed, the London Issuing Agent shall publish the notice required in
connection with any such redemption, pursuant to Section 18, and shall at the
same time also publish a separate list of serial numbers of any Notes previously
selected and not presented for redemption. All notices of redemption shall
identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP, Common Code and ISIN
numbers), the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, the manner in
which redemption will be effected and, in the case of a partial redemption, the
serial numbers (and principal amounts) of the Notes to be redeemed.

     (d) Notice of redemption having been given as described above, the Notes so
to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the
redemption price specified in such Notes, and upon payment by the Bank of the
full redemption price specified in such Notes, from and after such redemption
date such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Notes
for redemption in accordance with such notice, the relevant Paying Agent shall
pay or cause to be paid such Notes at the redemption price specified in such
Notes, together with unpaid interest accrued on such Notes at the applicable
rate borne by such Notes to the redemption date.

     (e) Any Registered Note or Definitive Bearer Note which is to be redeemed
only in part shall be surrendered to the Registrar or the London Issuing Agent,
respectively, and the Registrar or the London Issuing Agent, as the case may be,
shall complete, authenticate and deliver to a holder of such Note, without
service charge, a new Registered Note or Definitive Bearer Note of any
authorized denomination as requested by such holder, in an aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of

SECTION 17. Repayment of Notes.

     (a) In order for any Note, in accordance with its terms, to be repaid in
whole or in part at the option of the holder thereof, such Note must be
delivered by the holder thereof, with the form entitled "Option to Elect
Repayment" (set forth in such Note) duly completed, to the Registrar at the
address set forth in such form or at such place or places of which the Bank
shall from time to time notify the holders of the Notes not more than 60 nor

"Optional Repayment Date").

     (b) Upon surrender of any Note for repayment in accordance with the
provisions set forth above and in such Note, the Note to be repaid shall, on the
Optional Repayment Date, become due and payable, and the relevant Paying Agent
shall pay or cause to be paid such Note on the Optional Repayment Date at a
price, unless otherwise specified in such Note, equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the Optional Repayment Date.

     (c) If less than the entire principal amount of any Note is to be repaid,
the holder thereof shall specify the portion thereof (which shall be in
increments of US$1,000 or the equivalent thereof in other currencies, or as
otherwise provided in the applicable Note or required by the applicable laws and
regulations for currencies other than the U.S. Dollar) which such holder elects
to have repaid and shall surrender such Note to the London Issuing Agent or the
Registrar, as the case may be, and the London Issuing Agent or the Registrar, as
the case may be, shall complete, authenticate and deliver to the holder of such
Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes in an aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepaid portion of the principal of the
Note so surrendered and in such denominations as shall be specified by such
holder which shall be at least US$100,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000 in
excess thereof (or the equivalent in other currencies), or as otherwise
provided, in the applicable Note or required by the applicable laws and
regulations for currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.

SECTION 18. Notices to Holders.

     (a) On behalf of and at the request and expense of the Bank, the Registrar

Issuing Agent shall give or cause to be given all notices required to be given
by the Bank in accordance with the Notes.

     (b) All notices with respect to Registered Notes shall be mailed by the
Registrar by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the holders thereof at their

one other English language newspaper with general circulation in Europe as the
Bank shall decide and, if directed by the Bank in writing, the London Issuing
Agent shall, in accordance with such direction, also publish notices in a manner
that complies with the rules and regulations of any Stock Exchange on which such
Bearer Notes are then listed,


                                       20



quoted and/or traded. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the
date of the first publication.

     (d) Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement,
until such time as any Definitive Bearer Notes are issued, the Registrar may, so
long as Temporary Bearer Global Notes or Permanent Bearer Global Notes are held
in their entirety on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg or such
other clearing system, substitute for such publication required by Section 18(c)
the delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and
such other clearing system for communication by them to the beneficial owners of
interests in the Temporary Bearer Global Notes and Permanent Bearer Global
Notes; provided, however, that, so long as the rules of any Stock Exchange so
require and if so directed in writing by the Bank, such publication will
nevertheless be made as described in Section 18(c) in respect of Bearer Notes
listed on such Stock Exchange. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been
given to the beneficial owners of interests in the Temporary Bearer Global Notes
and Permanent Bearer Global Notes on the seventh day after the day on which said
notice was given to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or such other
clearing system.

SECTION 19. Cancellation of Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons.

     (a) All Notes which are purchased by or on behalf of the Bank, together (in
the case of Definitive Bearer Notes) with all unmatured Receipts, Coupons or

of the Bank, be canceled by the Bank. Where any Notes, Receipts, Coupons or
Talons are purchased and canceled as aforesaid, the Bank shall make sure that

          (v) (in the case of Definitive Bearer Notes) the serial numbers of
     such Notes,


                                       21

     practicable and in any event within three months after the date of such
     repayment or, as the case may be, payment or exchange.

     (c) Subject to being duly notified in due time, the Registrar shall give a

          (ii) the serial numbers of such Notes; and

          (iii) the total number by maturity date of the Receipts, Coupons and
     Talons (if any) appertaining thereto and surrendered therewith or attached
     thereto.

     (d) The applicable Paying Agent shall destroy (in accordance with its
customary procedures) all canceled Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons (unless
otherwise previously instructed by the Bank) and, forthwith upon destruction,
furnish the Bank with a certificate of the serial numbers of the Notes and the
number by maturity date of Receipts, Coupons and Talons so destroyed.

     (e) Without prejudice to its obligations pursuant to Section 19(b), the
Registrar shall keep a full and complete record of all Notes, Receipts, Coupons
and Talons (other than serial numbers of Coupons, except those which have been
replaced pursuant to Section 20) and of all replacement Notes, Receipts, Coupons
or Talons issued in substitution for mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or
stolen Notes, Receipts, Coupons or Talons. The Registrar shall at all reasonable
times make such record available to the Bank and any person authorized by the
Bank for inspection and for the taking of copies thereof or extracts therefrom.

     (f) All records and certificates made or given pursuant to this Section 19
and Section 20 shall make a distinction between Notes, Receipts, Coupons and
Talons of each Series and Tranche, as appropriate.

SECTION 20. Issue of Replacement Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons.

     (a) The Bank will cause a sufficient quantity of additional forms of Notes,
Receipts, Coupons and Talons to be available, upon request, to the London
Issuing Agent (in the case of Temporary Bearer Global Notes, Permanent Bearer
Global Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons) and to the Registrar (in the case of
Registered Global Notes) at their specified office for the purpose of issuing
replacement Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons as provided below.

     (b) The London Issuing Agent or the Registrar will, subject to and in
accordance with the terms of the Notes and the following provisions of this

Coupons and Talons which have been lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or
destroyed.


                                       22



     (c) In the case of a mutilated or defaced Note, the London Issuing Agent or
the Registrar shall ensure that (unless otherwise covered by such indemnity as
the Bank may require) any replacement Note will only have attached to it
Receipts, Coupons and Talons corresponding to those (if any) attached to the
mutilated or defaced Note which is presented for replacement.

     (d) Neither the London Issuing Agent nor the Registrar shall issue any
replacement Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon unless and until the applicant

          (i) paid such costs as may be incurred in connection therewith;

          (ii) furnished it with such evidence (including evidence as to the
     serial number of such Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon) and indemnity (which

          (iii) in the case of any mutilated or defaced Note, Receipt, Coupon or
     Talon, surrendered the same to the Registrar or the London Issuing Agent,
     as the case may be.

     (e) The Registrar or the London Issuing Agent, as the case may be, shall
cancel any mutilated or defaced Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons with respect
to which replacement Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons have been issued
pursuant to this Section 20 and shall furnish the Bank with a certificate
stating the serial numbers of the Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons so
canceled and, unless otherwise instructed by the Bank in writing, shall destroy
(in accordance with its customary procedures) such canceled Notes, Receipts,
Coupons and Talons and furnish the Bank with a destruction certificate
containing the information specified in Section 19(c).

     (f) The Registrar or the London Issuing Agent, as the case may be, shall,
on issuing any replacement Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon, forthwith inform the
Bank and the Paying Agents of the serial number of such replacement Note,
Receipt, Coupon or Talon issued and (if known) of the serial number of the Note,
Receipt, Coupon or Talon in place of which such replacement Note, Receipt,
Coupon or Talon has been issued. Whenever replacement Receipts, Coupons or
Talons are issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 20, the London
Issuing Agent shall also notify the Paying Agents of the maturity dates of the
lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed Receipts, Coupons or Talons and of
the replacement Receipts, Coupons or Talons issued.

     (g) The Registrar shall keep a full and complete record of all replacement
Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons issued and shall make such record available
at all reasonable times to the Bank and any persons authorized by the Bank for
inspection and for the taking of copies thereof or extracts therefrom.

     (h) Whenever any Definitive Bearer Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon for which
a replacement Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon has been issued and with respect to
which the serial number is known is presented to any of the Paying Agents for
payment, the relevant Paying Agent shall immediately send notice thereof to the
Bank and the Registrar.

respect to the services of the Agents hereunder together with any reasonable and
properly documented expenses (including legal fees and expenses, insurance
costs, printing, postage, tax, cable and advertising expenses) incurred by the

of the terms of this Agreement.

hereunder except for their own willful default, gross negligence or bad faith or
that of their respective officers, directors or employees or the breach by any
of them of the terms of this Agreement.

Registered Notes and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after the
principal of such Registered Notes shall have become due and payable (whether at
the Stated Maturity Date or otherwise) and monies sufficient therefor shall have
been duly made available for payment, provided that there is not any
outstanding, bona fide and proper claim with respect to such amounts. Upon such
repayment all liability of the Paying Agent with respect to such funds shall

Coupon and remaining unclaimed when such Bearer Note, Receipt or Coupon becomes
void and all liability with respect thereto shall thereupon cease.

     claim in respect thereof;

          (ii) as provided in Section 25(b) below; and

          (iii) that it shall not be liable to account to the Bank for any
     interest thereon except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Bank and

holders of the Notes, Receipts, Coupons or Talons, except that all funds held by
the Paying Agents for payment to the Noteholders shall be held for the benefit
of such holders or owners and applied as set forth herein, but need not be
segregated from other funds except as required by law.

     (c) The Agents hereby undertake to the Bank to perform such obligations and
duties, and shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties, as
are expressly stated herein, in the Notes, the Procedures Memorandum and any
Supplement specifically set forth, and no implied duties or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement or the Notes or the Procedures Memorandum against any
of the Agents. In no event shall the Agents be liable for special, indirect or
consequential loss or damages of any kind (including, but not limited to, lost
profits).


                                       25



     (d) The Agents may consult with legal and other professional advisers of

have been delivered, signed or sent by an Authorized Representative.

     (f) Any of the Agents and any of their officers, directors and employees
may become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Notes, Receipts,
Coupons or Talons with the same rights that it or he would have if such Agent(s)
concerned were not appointed hereunder, and may engage or be interested in any
financial or other transaction with the Bank and may act on, or as depositary,
trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of Notes or Coupons or in
connection with any other obligations of the Bank as surely as if such Agent(s)
were not appointed hereunder.

     (g) To the extent permitted by law, each of the Agents shall be entitled to
deem and treat the bearer of any Bearer Note as the absolute owner thereof.

SECTION 26. Communication Between the Parties.

Couponholders and any of the Agents or the Registrar shall be sent to the Bank
by the relevant Agent or the Registrar, as the case may be.

SECTION 27. Changes in Agents.

the payment of all amounts with respect to all outstanding Notes have been made
available to the Paying Agents (whichever is the later):

          (i) so long as any Notes are listed, quoted and/or traded on any Stock
     Exchange, there will at all times be such paying, issuing, listing and
     other agents having a specified office in each location required by the
     rules and regulations of the relevant Stock Exchange;

          (ii) there will at all times be a Paying Agent, a Registrar, a London
     Issuing Agent and Transfer Agent with a specified office in a city in
     continental Europe unless, in respect of any Paying Agent, payments are
     permitted to be made in the United States and the Bank shall have appointed
     a Paying Agent in the United States; and

          (iii) in the event that European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any
     other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting
     of 26-27 November 2000 is brought into force, the Bank will ensure that it
     maintains a Paying


                                       26



     Agent in a member state of the European Union that will not be obliged to
     withhold or deduct tax pursuant to such Directive.

Any variation, termination, appointment or change shall only take effect (other

termination, appointment or change shall take effect (except in the case of
insolvency) within 15 days before or after any Interest Payment Date.

Finance Ministers meeting on 26-27 November 2000, or any law implementing or
complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive, becoming
effective, such resignation shall not take effect until the Bank has appointed a
Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union that will not be obliged to
withhold or deduct tax from payment in respect of such Notes pursuant to any
such Directive or law.

     (d) The Bank agrees with each Agent that if, by the day falling 10 days
before the expiry of any notice under the above clause, the Bank has not
appointed a replacement agent, then the relevant Agent shall be entitled, on
behalf of the Bank, to appoint in its place any reputable financial institution
of good standing and the Bank shall not unreasonably object to such appointment.
If the relevant Agent is unable to appoint a replacement agent, the relevant
Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
replacement agent.

     (e) Prior to its resignation or removal becoming effective, the relevant
Paying Agent, Registrar, London Issuing Agent, Listing Agent or Transfer Agent:

          (i) shall, in the case of a Paying Agent, forthwith transfer all

as if originally named as a Paying Agent, London Issuing Agent, Registrar,

the assets of such Agent shall, on the date when such merger, consolidation or
transfer becomes effective and to the extent permitted by any applicable laws,
become the successor Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless

          (ii) to make any further modifications of the terms of this Agreement
     necessary or desirable to allow for the issuance of any additional Notes
     (which modifications shall not be materially adverse to holders of
     outstanding Notes); or

          (iii) in any manner which the Bank (and, in the case of this
     Agreement, the parties hereto) may deem necessary or desirable and which
     shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the
     Notes, Talons, Receipts and Coupons, to all of which each holder of Notes,
     Talons, Receipts and Coupons shall, by acceptance thereof, be deemed to
     have consented;

provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the
consent of the holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby, (1) change the
Stated Maturity Date with respect to any Note or reduce or cancel the amount
payable at maturity; (2) reduce the amount payable or modify the payment date
for any interest with respect to any Note or vary the method of calculating the

respect to Notes, Talons, Receipts and Coupons; (6) reduce the percentage in
principal amount of outstanding Notes the consent of the holders of which is
necessary to modify the provisions of the Notes or to waive any future
compliance or past default. Any instrument given by or on behalf of any holder
of a Note in connection with any consent to any such modification, amendment or
waiver shall be irrevocable once given and shall be conclusive and binding on
all subsequent holders of such Note. Any modifications, amendments or waivers to
this Agreement or the provisions of the Notes, Talons, Receipts and Coupons
shall be conclusive and binding on all holders of Notes, Talons, Receipts and
Coupons, whether or not notation of such modifications, amendments or waivers is
made upon the Notes, Receipts, Coupons and Talons. It will not be necessary for
the consent of the holders of Notes to approve the particular form of any
proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof; provided that the Agents shall have


                                       29



no responsibility for preparing any summary or other notice of such substance to
be provided to holders of Notes in connection with any amendment hereto.

     SUNTRUST BANK, a bank organized under the laws of the State of Georgia (the
"Bank"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to _______________, or
registered assigns, the principal amount specified above as adjusted in
accordance with Schedule 1 hereto, on the Maturity Date specified above (except
to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to the Maturity Date) and to pay interest
thereon (i) in accordance with the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof
under the caption "Fixed Rate Interest Provisions," if this Note is designated
as a "Fixed Rate Note" above, or (ii) in accordance with the provisions set
forth on the reverse hereof under the caption "Floating Rate Interest
Provisions," if this Note is designated as a "Floating Rate Note" above, in each
case as such provisions may be modified or supplemented by the terms and
provisions set forth in the Pricing Supplement attached hereto (the "Pricing
Supplement"), and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable) to pay interest at the Default Rate per annum specified in
the Pricing Supplement on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and on any
overdue installment or interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in
whose name this Note (or any predecessor Note) is registered at the close of
business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day (as
defined on the reverse hereof)) next preceding the applicable Interest Payment
Date (unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement) (each, a "Regular
Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable at Maturity (as defined
on the reverse hereof) will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be
payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the holder as of the close of business on such
Regular Record Date, and shall


                                      A-2



instead be payable to the person in whose name this Note (or any predecessor
Note) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the
payment of such defaulted interest (the "Special Record Date") to be fixed by
the Registrar (as defined below), notice whereof shall be given by the Registrar
to the holder of this Note not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Special
Record Date.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Bank's notes due from 7
days to 30 years or more from date of issue (the "Notes"). The Notes are issued
in accordance with the Amended and Restated Global Agency Agreement, dated as of
March 31, 2004 (the "Global Agency Agreement"), among the Bank and Deutsche Bank
Trust Company Americas, as paying agent (the "Domestic Paying Agent") and as
registrar (the "Registrar"), Deutsche Bank AG London, as paying agent (the
"London Paying Agent") and as issuing agent (the "London Issuing Agent") and
Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") and as
paying agent (the "Luxembourg Paying Agent", together with the Domestic Paying
Agent and the London Paying Agent, the "Paying Agents", and individually, a
"Paying Agent") and Kredietbank S.A. Luxembourgeoise as listing agent (the
"Listing Agent"). The terms Domestic Paying Agent, Registrar, London Paying
Agent, London Issuing Agent, Luxembourg Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Listing
Agent shall include any additional or successor agents appointed in such
capacities by the Bank.

     The Bank shall cause to be kept at the office of the Registrar designated
below a register (the register maintained in such office or any other office or
agency of the Registrar, herein referred to as the "Note Register") in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Bank shall
provide for the registration of Notes issued in registered form and of transfers
of such Notes. The Bank has initially appointed Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, acting through its principal office at 60 Wall Street, 27th Floor, New
York, New York 10005, as "Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes issued
in registered form and transfers of such Notes. The Bank reserves the right to
rescind such designation at any time, and to transfer such function to another
bank or financial institution.

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

     Payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note
due at Maturity will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation
and surrender of this Note at the office of a Paying Agent maintained for that
purpose; provided, that this Note is presented to such Paying Agent in time for
such Paying Agent to make such payment in accordance with its normal procedures.
Payments of interest an this Note (other than at Maturity) will be made by wire
transfer to such account as has been appropriately designated to a Paying Agent
by the person entitled to such payments.

     Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the
reverse hereof and in the Pricing Supplement, which further provisions shall for
all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. In the event of
any conflict between the provisions contained


                                      A-3



herein or on the reverse hereof and the provisions contained in the Pricing
Supplement attached hereto, the latter shall control. References herein to "this
Note," "hereof," "herein" and comparable terms shall include the Pricing
Supplement attached hereto.

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

     THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES
THEREOF, AND ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank has caused this Note to be duly executed.

     SUNTRUST BANK, a bank organized under the laws of the State of Georgia the
"Bank"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to ______________________,
or registered assigns, the principal amount specified above on the Maturity Date
specified above (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to the Maturity
Date) and to pay interest thereon (i) in accordance with the provisions set
forth on the reverse hereof under the caption "Fixed Rate Interest Provisions,"
if this Note is designated as a "Fixed Rate Note" above, or (ii) in accordance
with the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof under the caption "Floating
Rate Interest Provisions," if this Note is designated as a "Floating Rate Note"
above, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable) to pay interest at the Default Rate per annum, specified above, on
any overdue principal and premium, if any, and on any overdue installment of
interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date specified above will be paid to the person in whose
name this Note (or any predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business
on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day (as defined on the
reverse hereof)) next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, unless
otherwise specified above (each, a "Regular Record Date"); provided, however,
that interest payable at Maturity (as defined on the reverse hereof) will be
payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such interest not
so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to
the holder as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and shall
instead be payable to the person in whose name this Note (or any predecessor
Note) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the
payment of such defaulted interest (the "Special Record Date") to be fixed by
the Registrar (as defined below), notice whereof shall be given by the Registrar
to the holder of this Note not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Special
Record Date.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Bank's notes due from 7
days to 30 years or more from date of issue (the "Notes"). The Notes are issued
and to be issued in accordance with an Amended and Restated Global Agency

Bank; Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent (the "Domestic
Paying Agent") and as registrar (the "Registrar"); Deutsche Bank AG London, as
paying agent (the "London Paying Agent") and as issuing agent (the "London
Issuing Agent"); and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as transfer agent (the
"Transfer Agent") and as paying agent (the "Luxembourg Paying Agent;" together
with the Domestic Paying Agent and the London Paying Agent, the "Paying Agents,"
and individually, a "Paying Agent") and Kredietbank S.A. Luxembourgeoise as
listing agent (the "Listing Agent"). The terms Domestic Paying Agent, Registrar,
London Paying Agent, Luxembourg Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Listing Agent
shall include any additional or successor agents appointed in such capacities by
the Bank.

     The Bank shall cause to be kept at the office of the Registrar designated
below a register (the register maintained in such office or any other office or
agency of the Registrar, herein referred to as the "Note Register") in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Bank shall
provide for the registration of Notes issued in registered form and of transfers
of such Notes. The Bank has initially appointed Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, acting through its principal office at 60 Wall Street, 27th Floor, New
York, New York 10005, as "Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes issued
in registered form and transfers of such Notes. The Bank reserves the right to
rescind such designation at any time, and to transfer such function to another
bank or financial institution.


                                       B-5



     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 Registrar or any transfer agent maintained for that purpose, duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Registrar (or such transfer agent) duly executed by the holder hereof or its
attorney duly authorized in writing.

     Payment of principal of and the premium, if any, and interest on, this Note
due at Maturity will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation
and surrender of this Note at the office of a Paying Agent maintained for that
purpose; provided, that this Note is presented to such Paying Agent in time for
such Paying Agent to make such payment in accordance with its normal procedures.
Payments of interest on this Note (other than at Maturity) will be made by check
mailed to the holder of this Note as of the Regular Record Date with respect to
such Interest Payment Date at the address shown in the Note Register specified
below, provided, however, that a holder of US$10,000,000 or more in aggregate
principal amount (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies) of Notes
(whether identical or different terms and provisions) shall be entitled to
receive payments of interest, other than interest due at Maturity, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate written wire transfer
instructions have been received by a Paying Agent not less than 16 days prior to
the applicable Interest Payment Date.

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

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

     THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES
THEREOF, AND ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank has caused this Note to be duly executed.

     SunTrust Bank, a bank organized under the laws of the State of Georgia (the
"Bank"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the bearer hereof the
principal amount specified above, as adjusted in accordance with Schedules 2 and
3, on the Maturity Date (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to the
Maturity Date) specified above and to pay interest thereon (i) in accordance
with the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof under the caption "Fixed
Rate Interest Provisions," if this Note is designated as a "Fixed Rate Note"
above, or (ii) in accordance with the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof
under the caption "Floating Rate Interest Provisions," if this Note is
designated as a "Floating Rate Note" above, and (to the extent that the payment
of such interest shall be legally enforceable) to pay interest at the Default
Rate per annum, specified above, on any overdue principal and premium, if any,
and on any overdue installment of interest.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Bank's notes due from 7
days to 30 years or more from date of issue (the "Notes"). The Notes are issued
and to be issued in accordance with an Amended and Restated Global Agency
Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2004 (the "Global Agency Agreement"), among the
Bank; Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent ("the Domestic
Paying Agent") and as registrar (the "Registrar"); Deutsche Bank AG London, as
paying agent (the "London Paying Agent"); and as issuing agent (the "London
Issuing Agent"); Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A., as transfer agent (the "Transfer
Agent") and as paying agent (the "Luxembourg Paying Agent;" together with the
Domestic Paying Agent and the London Paying Agent, the "Paying Agents;"
individually, a "Paying Agent"); and Kredietbank S.A. Luxembourgeoise as listing
agent (the "Listing Agent"). The terms Domestic Paying Agent, Registrar, London
Paying Agent, London Issuing Agent, Luxembourg Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and
Listing Agent shall include any additional or successor agents appointed in such
capacities by the Bank.

     This Note is to be held by a common depositary for Euroclear Bank
S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear"), and Clearstream
Banking, societe anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") on behalf of account
holders which have beneficial interests in this Note credited to their
respective securities accounts with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg from
time to time.

     Prior to the Exchange Date (as defined below), all payments (if any) on
this Note will only be made to the bearer hereof to the extent that there is
presented to the London Paying Agent by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg a
certificate, substantially in the form set out in Schedule 1 hereto, to the
effect that it has received from or with respect to a person owning beneficially
a particular principal amount of this Note (as shown by its records) a
certificate from such person in or substantially in the form of Certificate "A"
as set out in Schedule 1 hereto. After the Exchange Date the holder of this Note
will not be entitled to receive any payment of interest hereon.

     Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, on or after the date which
is 40 days after the Original Issue Date specified above (the "Exchange Date"),
this Note may be exchanged, in whole but not in part (free of charge), for a
permanent global Note in bearer form (a "Permanent Bearer Global Note")
containing, except with respect to rights of exchange, identical terms and
provisions. From and after the date on which definitive Notes in bearer form
("Definitive Notes") shall have been issued in exchange for beneficial interests
in a Permanent


                                       C-5



Bearer Global Note, this Note may be exchanged, in whole but not in part (free
of charge), only for Definitive Notes. Any such exchanges will be made upon
presentation of this Note by the bearer hereof at the offices of the London
Paying Agent (or at such other place outside the United States of America, its
territories and possessions, any State of the United States and the District of
Columbia (the "United States") as the London Paying Agent may agree) and
subject, in the case of an exchange for Definitive Notes, to at least 60 days
written notice expiring at least 30 days after the Exchange Date being given to
the London Paying Agent by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg.

     The Permanent Bearer Global Note or the Definitive Notes, as the case may
be, shall be so issued and delivered in exchange for this Note only if there
shall have been presented to the London Issuing Agent by Euroclear or
Clearstream, Luxembourg a certificate, substantially in the form set out in
Schedule 1 hereto, to the effect that it has received from or with respect to a
person owning beneficially a particular principal amount of this Note (as shown
by its records) a certificate from such person in or substantially in the form
of Certificate "A" as set out in Schedule 1 hereto.

     On an exchange of the whole of this Note, this Note shall be surrendered to
the London Paying Agent.

     Unless otherwise provided herein, the principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on, this Note are payable in the Specified Currency indicated above
(or, if such Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender
for the payment of public and private debts, in such other coin or currency of
the country which issued such Specified Currency as at the time of such payment
is legal tender for the payment of debts).

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

     Payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on this Note
will be made in the manner specified above against presentation or surrender, as
the case may be, of this Note at the office of the London Paying Agent
maintained for that purpose, subject to the requirements as to certification
provided herein. On any payment of an installment or interest being made,
details of such payment shall be entered by or on behalf of the Bank in Schedule
3 hereto and the relevant space in Schedule 3 hereto recording any such payment
shall be signed by or on behalf of the Bank.


                                       C-6



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

     On any redemption or repayment and cancellation of all or any portion of
this Note, details of such redemption or repayment and cancellation shall be
entered by or on behalf of the Bank in Schedule 2 hereto and the relevant space
in Schedule 2 hereto recording any such redemption or repayment and cancellation
shall be signed by or on behalf of the Bank. Upon any such redemption or
repayment and cancellation, the aggregate principal amount of this Note shall be
reduced by the principal amount so redeemed or repaid and cancelled.

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

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

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

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

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

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

     (a) the "Floating Rate Convention," such interest payment date shall be
postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Payment Business Day unless it
would thereby fall into the next succeeding calendar month, in which event (1)
such interest payment date shall be brought


                                       C-7

Note by the bearer hereof on any day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on

                                      D-5



     Unless otherwise provided herein, the principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on this Note are payable in the Specified Currency indicated above
(or, if such Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender
for the payment of public and private debts, in such other coin or currency of
the country which issued such Specified Currency as at the time of such payment
is legal tender for the payment of debts).

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

     Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be
made in the manner specified above against presentation or surrender, as the
case may be, of this Note at the office of the London Paying Agent maintained
for that purpose. On any payment of an installment or interest being made,
details of such payment shall be entered by or on behalf of the Bank in Schedule
2 hereto and the relevant space in Schedule 2 hereto recording any such payment
shall be signed by or on behalf of the Bank.

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

     On any redemption or repayment and cancellation of all or any portion of
this Note, details of such redemption or repayment and cancellation shall be
entered by or on behalf of the Bank in Schedule 1 hereto and the relevant space
in Schedule 1 hereto recording any such redemption or repayment and cancellation
shall be signed by or on behalf of the Bank. Upon any such redemption or
repayment and cancellation, the aggregate principal amount of this Note shall be
reduced by the principal so redeemed or repaid and cancelled.

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

               (i) the Bank has appointed Paying Agents with specified offices
          outside the United States with the reasonable expectation that such
          Paying Agents would be able to make payment at such specified offices
          outside be United States


                                      D-6



          of the full amount due with respect to this Note in the manner
          provided above when due;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                      D-7



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

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

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
London Issuing Agent by manual signature of an authorized signatory, this Note
shall not be valid or obligatory for any purposes.

     THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES
THEREOF, AND ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank has caused this Note to be duly executed.

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

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Bank's notes due from 7
days to 30 years or more from date of issue (the "Notes"). The Notes are issued
and to be issued in accordance with an Amended and Restated Global Agency

Issuing Agent"); Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as transfer agent (the "Transfer
Agent") and as paying agent (the "Luxembourg Paying Agent;" together with the
Domestic Paying Agent and the London Paying Agent, the "Paying Agents;"
individually, a "Paying Agent"); and Kredietbank S.A. Luxembourgeoise as listing
agent (the "Listing Agent"). The terms Domestic Paying Agent, Registrar, London
Paying Agent, London Issuing Agent, Luxembourg Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and
Listing Agent shall include any additional or successor agents appointed in such
capacities by the Bank.

     Unless otherwise provided herein, the principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest on, this Note are payable in the Specified Currency indicated above
(or, if such Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender
for the payment of public and private debts, in such other coin or currency of
the country which issued such Specified Currency as at the time of such payment
is legal tender for the payment of debts).

     Subject to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto in
the place of payment, payments on this Note will be made by transfer to an
account in the Specified Currency (which, in the case of a payment in yen to a
non-resident of Japan, shall be a non-resident account) maintained by the payee
with, or by a check in the Specified Currency drawn on, a bank (which, in the
case of a payment in yen to a non-resident of Japan, shall be an authorized
foreign exchange bank) in the Principal Financial Center of the country of the
Specified Currency (which, in the case of the euro, shall be deemed for this
purpose to be the capital city of any


                                      E-5



country whose currency has been replaced by the euro or any other location
designated in the applicable Pricing Supplement); provided, however, that a
check may not be delivered to an address in, and an amount may not be
transferred to an account at a bank located in, the United States by any office
or agency of the Bank, the Global Agent or any Paying Agent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     (a) the "Floating Rate Convention," such interest payment date shall be
postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Payment Business Day unless it
would thereby fall into the next succeeding calendar month, in which event (1)
such interest payment date shall be brought


                                      E-6



forward to the next preceding Payment Business Day and (2) each subsequent
interest payment date shall be the last Payment Business Day in the month which
falls the number of months or other period specified as the interest payment
period on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the applicable
Pricing Supplement) after the preceding applicable interest payment date
occurred; or

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                    [FORM OF]

     AMENDED AND RESTATED INTEREST CALCULATION AGENCY AGREEMENT, dated as of
March 31, 2004, between SUNTRUST BANK (the "Bank") and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST
COMPANY AMERICAS, as calculation agent.

                                    WHEREAS:

     A. The Bank has established the Global Bank Note Program described in the
Offering Circular, dated March 31, 2004 (as such document may hereafter be
amended or supplemented by the Bank, including the material incorporated therein
by reference, the "Offering Circular"), which will be supplemented by one or
more pricing supplements (each a "Supplement") setting forth additional terms
and conditions of Bank Notes, pursuant to which the Bank may from time to time
issue up to US$20,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies)
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding of its Bank Notes (the
"Notes");

     B. In connection with the establishment of the Global Bank Note Program,
the Bank has entered into an Amended and Restated Global Agency Agreement, dated
as of March 31, 2004 (the "Global Agency Agreement"), among the Bank; Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas, as Domestic Paying Agent and Registrar; Deutsche
Bank AG London, as London Paying Agent and London Issuing Agent; Deutsche Bank
Luxembourg S.A., as Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer Agent; and Kredietbank
S.A. Luxembourgeoise as Listing Agent. Capitalized terms not defined herein
shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Global Agency
Agreement;

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

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

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


                                      I-1



     SECTION 1. Appointment of Calculation Agent.

     The Bank hereby appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as
calculation agent (in such capacity, the "Calculation Agent") of the Bank for
the purpose of calculating the interest rates on any Floating Rate Notes to be
issued by the Bank, in the manner and at the times provided in the Global Agency
Agreement, the Floating Rate Notes and any Supplement, and the Calculation Agent
hereby accepts its obligations as set forth in this Agreement upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein.

     SECTION 2. Calculation of Interest Rates.

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

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

     SECTION 3. New Base Rates.

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


                                      I-2



     SECTION 4. Fees and Expenses.

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

     SECTION 5. Rights and Liabilities of Calculation Agent.

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

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

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

     SECTION 7. Duties of Calculation Agent.

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

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

     The Calculation Agent may at any time terminate this Agreement by giving no
less than 60 days written notice to the Bank unless the Bank consents in writing
to a shorter time. Upon receipt of notice of termination by the Calculation
Agent, the Bank agrees promptly to appoint a successor calculation agent. The
Bank may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written notice to the
Calculation Agent and specifying the date when the termination shall become
effective; provided, however, that no termination by the Calculation Agent or by
the Bank shall become effective prior to the date of the appointment by the
Bank, as provided in


                                      I-3



Section 9 hereof, of a successor calculation agent and the acceptance of such
appointment by such successor calculation agent. Upon termination by either
party pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Calculation Agent shall be
entitled to the payment of any compensation owed to it by the Bank hereunder and
to the reimbursement of all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Calculation Agent in connection with the services
rendered by it hereunder, as provided by Section 4 hereof, and the provisions of
Section 10 shall remain in effect following such termination.

     SECTION 9. Appointment of Successor Calculation Agent.

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

     SECTION 10. Indemnification.

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

     SECTION 11. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Business by Calculation Agent.

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

     SECTION 12. Notices.

                                    [FORM OF]

     AMENDED AND RESTATED EXCHANGE RATE AGENT AGREEMENT, dated as of March 31,
2004, between SUNTRUST BANK (the "Bank") and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY
AMERICAS.

                                    WHEREAS:

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

     B. In connection with the establishment of the Global Bank Note Program,
the Bank has entered into an Amended and Restated Global Agency Agreement, dated
as of the date hereof (the "Global Agency Agreement"), among the Bank; Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas, as Domestic Paying Agent and Registrar; Deutsche
Bank AG London, as London Paying Agent and London Issuing Agent; Deutsche Bank
Luxembourg S.A., as Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer Agent; and Kredietbank
S.A. Luxembourgeoise as Listing Agent. Capitalized terms not defined herein
shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Global Agency
Agreement;

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

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

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

     SECTION 1. Appointment of Exchange Rate Agent.

     The Bank hereby appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as its agent
(in such capacity, the "Exchange Rate Agent"), and the Exchange Rate Agent
hereby accepts such appointment, as the Bank's agent for the purposes of
obtaining from time to time exchange rates and executing foreign exchange spot
transactions for Specified Foreign Currencies upon the terms and subject to the
conditions provided hereinafter.


                                      J-1



     SECTION 2. Determination of Exchange Rate.

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

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

     SECTION 3. Fees and Expenses.

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

     SECTION 4. Rights and Liabilities of Exchange Rate Agent.

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

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

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

     SECTION 6. Duties of Exchange Rate Agent.

     In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the Notes, the
Exchange Rate Agent shall be obligated only to perform such duties as are
specifically set forth herein and no


                                      J-2



other duties or obligations on the part of the Exchange Rate Agent shall be
implied by this Agreement. In acting under this Agreement, the Exchange Rate
Agent assumes no obligation towards, or any relationship of agency or trust for
or with, the holders of the Notes.

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

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

     SECTION 8. Appointment of Successor Exchange Rate Agent.

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

     SECTION 9. Indemnification.

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


                                      J-3



and the payment in full of all obligations under the Notes, whether by
redemption, repayment or otherwise.

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

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

     SECTION 11. Notices.

     Any notice or other communication given hereunder shall be delivered in

                             FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE
                                [Reverse of Note]

     Unless otherwise provided herein (or, if this Note is in global form, in
the Pricing Supplement), the Notes are issuable only in denominations of
US$100,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof (or equivalent
denominations in other currencies, subject to any other statutory or regulatory
minimums). This Note, and any Note issued in exchange or substitution herefor or
in place hereof, or upon registration of transfer, exchange or partial
redemption or repayment of this Note, may be issued only in an Authorized
Denomination specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this Note is in
definitive form, specified on the face hereof).

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

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

     If this Note is a DTC Global Note and the Specified Currency indicated on
the face hereof is other than the U.S. dollar, the holder of this Note may elect
to receive payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note
in the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof by submitting a written
notice to the Paying Agents prior to 5:00 pm, New York


                                      K-1



City time, on the fifth Business Day following the applicable Record Date in the
case of interest and the tenth calendar day prior to the payment date for the
payment of principal. Such notice, which may be mailed or hand delivered or sent
by cable, telex or facsimile transmission, shall contain (i) the holder's
election to receive all or a portion of such payment in the Specified Currency
on the relevant Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be, and (ii)
wire transfer instructions to an account denominated in the Specified Currency
with respect to any payment to be made in the Specified Currency. Any such
election made with respect to this Note by the holder will remain in effect with
respect to any further payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on this Note payable to the holder of this Note unless such election is
revoked on or prior to the fifth Business Day following the applicable Record
Date in the case of interest and the tenth calendar day prior to the payment
date for the payment of principal.

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

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

     Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas shall initially act as domestic paying
agent (the "Domestic Paying Agent") and the Bank has initially appointed
Deutsche Bank AG London, acting as London paying agent (the "London Paying
Agent") and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as Luxembourg paying agent (the
"Luxembourg Paying Agent" and together with the Domestic Paying Agent and the
London Paying Agent, the "Paying Agents," and each


                                      K-2



individually, a "Paying Agent," and such terms shall include any additional or
successor paying agents appointed pursuant to the Global Agency Agreement (as
defined on the face hereof)) in respect of the Notes. If this Note is in
registered form, this Note may be presented or surrendered for payment, and
notices, designations or requests in respect of payments with respect to this
Note may be served, at the office or agency of any Paying Agent maintained for
that purpose. The Bank may at any time rescind any designation of a Paying
Agent, appoint any additional or successor Paying Agents or approve a change in
the office through which a Paying Agent acts.

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

Fixed Rate Interest Provisions

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

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


                                      K-3



30-day months. Unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement (or, if this
Note is in definitive form, on the face hereof) if the Maturity Date specified
on the face hereof falls one year or less from the Original Issue Date, interest
payments for this Note if it is denominated in U.S. dollars shall be computed
and paid on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360.

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

     "Actual/Actual (ISMA)" Fixed Day Count Convention means:

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                      K-4



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

Floating Rate Interest Provisions

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

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

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

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

     (2)  the "Following Business Day Convention," such Interest Payment Date
          (or other date) shall be postponed to the next succeeding day which is
          a Business Day; or

     (3)  the "Modified Following Business Day Convention," such Interest
          Payment Date (or other date) shall be postponed to the next succeeding
          day that is a Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next
          succeeding calendar month, in


                                      K-5



          which event such Interest Payment Date (or other date) shall be
          brought forward to the next preceding Business Day; or

     (4)  the "Preceding Business Day Convention," such Interest Payment Date
          (or other date) shall be brought forward to the next preceding
          Business Day.

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

     If "ISDA Rate" is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in
global form, in the Pricing Supplement) in connection with the determination of
the rate of interest on this Note, the rate of interest on this Note for each
Interest Period will be the relevant ISDA Rate (as defined below) plus or minus
the Margin, if any, specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global
form, in the Pricing Supplement). Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof
(or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), "ISDA Rate"
means, with respect to any Interest Period, the rate equal to the Floating Rate
that would be determined by the Calculation Agent or other person specified on
the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement)
pursuant to an interest rate swap transaction if the Calculation Agent or that
other person were acting as calculation agent for that swap transaction in
accordance with the terms of an agreement in the form of the Interest Rate and
Currency Exchange Agreement published by the International Swaps and Derivatives
Association, Inc. (the "ISDA Agreement") and evidenced by a Confirmation (as
defined in the ISDA Agreement) incorporating the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the
"2000 ISDA Definitions") published by the International Swaps and Derivatives
Association, Inc. and under which:

     (A)  the Floating Rate Option is as specified on the face hereof (or, if
          this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement);

     (B)  the Designated Maturity is the period specified on the face hereof
          (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), and

     (C)  the relevant Reset Date is either (i) if the applicable Floating Rate
          Option is based on the London inter-bank offered rate for a currency
          or on the Euro-zone inter-bank offered rate ("EURIBOR") for a
          currency, the first day of that Interest Period or (ii) in any other
          case, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global
          form, in the Pricing Supplement).

As used in this paragraph, "Floating Rate," "Calculation Agent," "Floating Rate
Option," "Designated Maturity," and "Reset Date" have the meanings ascribed to
those terms in the 2000 ISDA Definitions.

     If "Reference Rate Determination" is specified on the face hereof (or, if
this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) in connection with the
determination of the rate of interest on this Note, this Note will bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified on the face
hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement)


                                      K-6



until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (or, if this
Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) and thereafter at a rate per
annum determined as follows:

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

     2. If this Note is designated as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note" on the
face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement),
then, except as described below (or, if this Note is in global form, in the
Pricing Supplement), this Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by
reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases specified on the face
hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) (i) plus
or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable
Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner described on the
face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement).
Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on
this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on
the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement);
provided, however, that (i) the interest rate in effect for the period from and
including the Original Issue Date to but excluding the Initial Interest Reset
Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate and (ii) the interest rate in effect for
the period commencing on, and including, the Fixed Rate Commencement Date
specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing
Supplement) to but excluding the Maturity Date shall be the Fixed Interest Rate,
if such a rate is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global
form, in the Pricing Supplement), 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 (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement),
then, except as described below (or, if this Note is in global form, in the
Pricing Supplement), this Note shall bear interest equal to the Fixed Interest
Rate indicated on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the
Pricing Supplement) minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable
Interest Rate Basis or Bases specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is
in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) (i) plus or minus the applicable
Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if
any, specified and applied in the manner described on the face hereof (or, if
this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement); provided, however,
that, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in
global form, in the Pricing


                                      K-7



Supplement), the interest rate hereon will not be less than zero percent.
Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on
this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Rate Reset Date
specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing
Supplement); provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period
from and including the Original Issue Date to but excluding the Initial Interest
Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

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

     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in
global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the "Interest Determination Date" with
respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal
Funds Rate, the J.J. Kenny Rate, and the Prime Rate will be the second Business
Day preceding each 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 below); the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to
EURIBOR will be the second day on which the TARGET system is open immediately
preceding each Interest Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with
respect to LIBOR shall be the second London Banking Day (as defined below)
preceding each Interest Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with
respect to the Treasury Rate will be the day in the week in which the related
Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are
normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of
each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is
normally held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on
the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on the
Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the related
Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday. If the interest rate
of this Note is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases as
specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing
Supplement), the Interest Determination Date pertaining to this Note will be the
latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to such Interest
Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate
Basis shall be determined on such date, and the applicable interest rate shall
take effect on the Interest Reset Date.

     Determination of CD Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the CD
Rate, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in
the Pricing Supplement), the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable
Interest Determination Date (a "CD Rate Interest


                                      K-8



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

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

     "H.15 Daily Update" means the daily update of H.15(519), available through
the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
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 specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form,
in the Pricing Supplement), the CMT Rate shall be determined by the Calculation
Agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date") in accordance with the following provisions:

     (i) If "CMT Moneyline Telerate Page 7051" is specified on the face hereof
(or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the CMT Rate on
the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be a percentage equal to the
yield for United States Treasury securities at "constant maturity" having the
Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form,
in the Pricing Supplement) as set forth in H.15(519) under the caption "Treasury
Constant Maturities," as such yield is displayed on Moneyline Telerate, Inc. (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 CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be a
percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at "constant
maturity" having the Index Maturity and for such CMT Rate Interest Determination


                                      K-9



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 Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the
Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate which would otherwise
have been published in H.15(519). If the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury does not publish
a yield on United States Treasury securities at "constant maturity" having the
Index Maturity for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate on
such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation
Agent and shall be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the
secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on
such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading primary United States
government securities dealers in The City of New York (each, a "Reference
Dealer") selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers and
eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest)) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal
to the Index Maturity, 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 based on the arithmetic mean
of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor lowest of such quotations
shall be eliminated. If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, the
CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and shall be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean
of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City
time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers
selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers and
eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest)) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater
than the Index Maturity, 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 based on the arithmetic mean of
the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such
quotations shall be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three such
prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date shall be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date. If two such United States Treasury securities with
an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity 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.

     (ii) If "CMT Moneyline Telerate Page 7052" is specified on the face hereof
(or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the CMT Rate on
the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be a percentage equal to the
one-week or one-month, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in
global form, in the Pricing Supplement), average yield for United States
Treasury securities at "constant maturity" having the Index Maturity specified
on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing
Supplement) as set forth in


                                      K-10



H.15(519) opposite the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," as such yield is
displayed on Moneyline Telerate, Inc. (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 falls. If such rate does not appear on 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
(or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), average yield
for United States Treasury securities at "constant maturity" having the Index
Maturity and for the week or month, as applicable, preceding such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date as set forth in H.15(519) opposite the caption
"Treasury Constant Maturities". If such rate does not appear in H.15(519), the
CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the one-week or
one-month, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form,
in the Pricing Supplement), average yield for United States Treasury securities
at "constant maturity" having the Index Maturity as otherwise announced by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the week or month, as applicable, ended
immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date falls. If the Federal Reserve Bank of New York does
not publish a one-week or one-month, as specified on the face hereof (or, if
this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), average yield on United
States Treasury securities at "constant maturity" having the Index Maturity 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 and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in
the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the
event of equality, one of the lowest)) for United States Treasury securities
with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity, 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 based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices
obtained and neither the highest nor lowest of such quotations shall be
eliminated. If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate
on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and shall be a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean
of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City
time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers
selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers and
eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest)) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity longer
than the Index Maturity, 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 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


                                      K-11



Determination Date. If two United States 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.

     Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this
Note is the Commercial Paper Rate, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this
Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the Commercial Paper Rate
shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a
"Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date") as the Money Market Yield
(as defined below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the
Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form,
in the Pricing Supplement) as published in H.15(519) 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 as published in H.15 Daily Update, 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 United States dollar commercial paper in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity
placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is "Aa," or the equivalent, from
a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, however, that
if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned
in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of such Commercial
Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate in
effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.

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

                                     D x 360
     Money Market Yield = ---------------------------- x 100
                                  360 - (D x M)

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

     Determination of Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate. If an Interest Rate
Basis for this Note is the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, as specified on
the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement),
the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (an "Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate
Interest Determination Date"), as the rate equal to the monthly weighted average
cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date falls, as
set forth under the caption "11th District" on Moneyline Telerate Page 7058 (as
defined below) as of 11:00 a.m., San Francisco


                                      K-12



time, on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.
If such rate does not appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 7058 on the related
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, the Eleventh
District Cost of Funds Rate for such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate
Interest Determination Date shall be the monthly weighted average cost of funds
paid by member institutions of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank District that
was most recently announced (the "Index") by the FHLB of San Francisco as such
cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the date of such
announcement. If the FHLB of San Francisco fails to announce such rate for the
calendar month immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate
Interest Determination Date, then the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate
determined as of such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date shall be the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate in effect
on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

     "Moneyline Telerate Page 7058" means the display designated as page "7058"
on the Moneyline Telerate, Inc. (or such other page as may replace the 7058 page
on that service for the purpose of displaying the monthly weighted average costs

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

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

          (a) the rate for deposits in euro as sponsored, calculated and
     published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI-The Financial
     Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for
     purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, having the Index Maturity
     specified on the face hereof (or if this Note is in global form, in the
     Pricing Supplement), commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, as
     that rate appears on Moneyline Telerate, Inc., or any successor service, on
     page 248 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service)
     ("Moneyline Telerate Page 248") as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the
     applicable EURIBOR Interest Determination Date.

          (b) if the rate referred to in clause (a) above does not appear on
     Moneyline Telerate Page 248, or is not so published by 11:00 a.m., Brussels
     time, on the applicable EURIBOR Interest Determination Date, the rate
     calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of at least two
     quotations obtained by the Calculation Agent after requesting the principal
     Euro-zone (as defined hereinafter) offices of four major banks in the
     Euro-zone interbank market, in the European interbank market, to provide
     the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in euro for
     the period of the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof (or if this
     Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), commencing on the
     applicable Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank
     market at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the applicable
     EURIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount not less than


                                      K-13



     the equivalent of U.S.$1,000,000 in euro that is representative for a
     single transaction in euro in such market at such time.

          (c) if fewer than two quotations referred to in clause (b) above are
     provided, EURIBOR for such EURIBOR Interest Determination Date will be
     calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the
     rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such EURIBOR
     Interest Determination Date by four major banks in the Eurozone for loans
     in Euro to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity designated on
     the face hereof (or if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing
     Supplement), commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date and in
     principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1,000,000 in euro
     that is representative for a single transaction in euro in such market at
     such time.

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

          "Euro-zone" means the region comprised of Member States that adopt the
     single currency in accordance with the Treaty establishing the European
     Communities, as amended.

     Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this
Note is the Federal Funds Rate, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this
Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), 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 United States
dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds
(Effective)", as such rate is displayed on Moneyline Telerate, Inc. (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 Calculation Date, the rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date for United States 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 related Calculation Date, then the Federal
Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be
calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates
for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds
arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds
transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent, prior to
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination
Date; provided, however, that if the brokers so selected by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate
determined as of such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the
Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination
Date.


                                      K-14



     Determination of J.J. Kenny Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note
is the J.J. Kenny Rate, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in
global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the J.J. Kenny Rate shall be determined
as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "J.J. Kenny Interest
Determination Date") as the rate in the high grade weekly index (the "Weekly
Index") on such date made available by Kenny Information Systems ("Kenny") to
the Calculation Agent. The Weekly Index Maturity is, and shall be, based upon
30-day yield evaluations at par of bonds, the interest of which is exempt from
Federal income taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), of not less than five high grade component issuers selected by Kenny
which shall include, without limitation, issuers of general obligation bonds.
The specific issuers included among the component issuers may be changed from
time to time by Kenny in its discretion. The bonds on which the Weekly Index is
based shall not include any bonds on which the interest is subject to a minimum
tax or similar tax under the Code, unless all tax-exempt bonds are subject to
such tax. In the event Kenny ceases to make available such Weekly Index, a
successor indexing agent will be selected by the Calculation Agent, such index
to reflect the prevailing rate for bonds rated in the highest short-term rating
category by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's, a division of
the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. in respect of issuers most closely resembling
the high grade component issuers selected by Kenny for its Weekly Index, the
interest on which is (i) variable on a weekly basis, (ii) exempt from Federal
income taxation under the Code, and (iii) not subject to a minimum tax or
similar tax under the Code, unless all tax-exempt bonds are subject to such tax.
If such successor indexing agent is not available, the rate for any J.J. Kenny
Interest Determination Date shall be 67% of the rate determined as if the
Treasury Rate option had been originally selected.

     Determination of LIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is LIBOR,
as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the

Date"), in accordance with the following provisions:

     (i) if "LIBOR Moneyline Telerate" is specified on the face hereof (or, if
this Note is in global form, the Pricing Supplement) or if neither "LIBOR
Reuters" nor "LIBOR Moneyline Telerate" is specified on the face hereof as the
method for calculating LIBOR, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in the
Designated LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof
(or, if this Note is in global form, the Pricing Supplement), commencing on the
Interest Reset Date immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination
Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page (as defined hereinafter) as of
11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date; or (b) if
"LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the
offered rates (unless the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a
single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for deposits in the
Designated LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity, commencing on such Interest
Reset Date, that appear (or, if only a single rate is required as aforesaid,
appears) on the Designated LIBOR Page (as defined hereinafter) as of 11:00 a.m.,
London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two such
offered rates so appear, or if no such rate so appears, as applicable, LIBOR on
such LIBOR Interest Determination Date shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions described in clause (ii) below.


                                      K-15



     (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
in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide
the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the Designated
LIBOR Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, commencing on the Interest
Reset Date immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date , to
prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London
time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that
is representative for a single transaction in the Designated LIBOR Currency in
such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are so provided, then
LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean
calculated by the Calculation Agent of such quotations. If fewer than two such
quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
will be the arithmetic mean calculated by the Calculation Agent of the rates
quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the applicable Principal Financial
Center, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks in such
Principal Financial Center (as defined hereafter) selected by the Calculation
Agent for loans in the Designated LIBOR Currency to leading European banks,
having the Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a
single transaction in the Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time;
provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are
not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined as of such LIBOR
Interest Determination Date shall be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date.

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

the Pricing Supplement) (or any other page as may replace such page on such
service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks
for the Designated LIBOR Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Moneyline Telerate" is
specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing
Supplement) or neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Moneyline Telerate" is
specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing
Supplement) as the method for calculating LIBOR, the display on Moneyline
Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on the page specified on the face
hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) (or any
other page as may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of
displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the Designated LIBOR
Currency.

     "Principal Financial Center" means (i) the capital city of the country
issuing the Specified Currency or (ii) the capital city of the country to which
the Designated LIBOR Currency, if applicable, relates, except, in each case,

     Determination of Prime Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the
Prime Rate, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form,
in the Pricing Supplement), the Prime Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Prime Rate Interest Determination
Date") as the rate on such date as such rate is published in H.15(519) 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
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 US PRIME 1
Page (as defined hereinafter) 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 US PRIME 1
Page for such Prime Rate Interest Determination 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 in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if the banks or trust
companies so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in

Determination Date.

     "Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page" means the display on the Reuters Monitor
Money Rates Service (or any successor service) on the "US PRIME 1 Page" (or such
other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 Page on such service) for the purpose

     Determination of Treasury Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is
the Treasury Rate, as specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in
global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the Treasury Rate shall be determined
as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Treasury Rate Interest
Determination Date") as the rate from the auction held on such Treasury Rate
Interest Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct obligations of the United
States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof
under the caption "INVESTMENT RATE" on the display on Moneyline Telerate, Inc.
(or any successor service) on page 56 (or any other page as may replace such
page on such service) ("Moneyline Telerate Page 56") or page 57 (or any other
page as may replace such page on such service) ("Moneyline Telerate Page 57")
or, if not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related
Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield (as defined hereinafter) of the rate
for such Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other
recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under
the caption "U.S. Government


                                      K-17



Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High." If such rate is not so published in
H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate on such Treasury
Rate Interest Determination Date shall be Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction
rate of such Treasury Bills as announced by the United States Department of the
Treasury. In the event that such auction rate is not so announced by the United
States Department of the Treasury on such Calculation Date, or if no such
Auction is held, then the Treasury Rate on such Treasury Rate Interest
Determination Date shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on such
Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index
Maturity as published in H.15(519) under the caption "U.S. Government
Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market" or, if not yet published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such
Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of such Treasury Bills as published in
H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the
purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S. Government
Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market." If such rate is not yet published
in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Treasury
Rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by
the Calculation Agent and shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic
mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York
City time, on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading
primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation
Agent, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the
Index Maturity; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the
Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury
Rate determined as of such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the
Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date.

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

                                          D x N
     Bond Equivalent Yield = ------------------------------ X 100
                                      360 - (D x M)

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

     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in
global form, in the Pricing Supplement), accrued interest hereon shall be an
amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest
factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest
factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being
calculated. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is
in global form, in the Pricing Supplement), the interest factor for each such
day shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months if the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof (or, if this
Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement) is "30/360" for the period
specified thereunder, or by dividing the applicable per annum interest rate by
360 if the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note
is in global form, in the


                                      K-18



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

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

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

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

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be
greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum
Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in
global form, in the Pricing Supplement). In addition to any Maximum Interest
Rate applicable hereto pursuant to the above provisions, the interest rate on


                                      K-19



this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York
law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

Redemption at the Option of the Bank

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

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

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

Repayment at the Option of the Holder

     This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof in
accordance with the terms hereof on any Holder's Optional Repayment Date(s), if
any, specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the
Pricing Supplement). If no Holder's Optional


                                      K-20



Repayment Date is specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in global
form, in the Pricing Supplement), this Note will not be repayable at the option
of the holder hereof prior to the Maturity Date. On any Holder's Optional
Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of
US$1,000 (or, if the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof is other
than the U.S. dollar, in such Authorized Denominations specified on the face
hereof (or, if this Note is in global form, in the Pricing Supplement)) at the
option of the holder hereof at the repayment price equal to 100% of the
principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued and unpaid interest hereon
payable to the date of repayment; provided, however, that, in the event of
repayment of this Note in part only, the unrepaid portion hereof shall be an
Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof (or, if this Note is in
global form, in the Pricing Supplement). For this Note to be repaid in whole or
in part at the option of the holder hereof on a Holder's Optional Repayment
Date, this Note must be delivered, with the form entitled "Option to Elect
Repayment" attached hereto duly completed, to the Domestic Paying Agent or the
London Paying Agent (as appropriate in accordance with such attached form) at
the address set forth on such form or at such other address which the Bank shall
from time to time notify the holders of the Notes not more than 60 nor less than
30 days prior to such Holder's Optional Repayment Date. In the event of
repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unrepaid portion hereof
shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof, or,
where applicable, an appropriate notation will be made on the schedule attached
hereto for such notations. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder
hereof shall be irrevocable.

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

Additional Amounts

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


                                      K-21



with respect to such Owner's interest; provided, however, that the Bank shall
not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

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

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

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

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

          (e) any tax, fee, duty, assessment or other governmental charge
     imposed on interest received by anyone who owns (actually or
     constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all
     classes of stock of the Bank;

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

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

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


                                      K-22



          (i) any withholding or deduction which is imposed on a payment to an
     individual and is required to be made pursuant to European Council
     Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of
     the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26-27 November 2000 on the taxation of
     savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in
     order to conform to, such Directive; or

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

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

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

     If this Note is in bearer form and the Bank shall determine, based upon a
written opinion of independent counsel selected by the Bank, that any payment
made outside the United States by the Bank or any of its Paying Agents of the
full amount of the next scheduled payment of either principal (and premium, if
any) or interest due with respect to this Note would, under any present or
future laws or regulations of the United States affecting taxation or otherwise,
be subject to any certification, information or other reporting requirements of
any kind, the effect of which requirements is the disclosure to the Bank, any of
its Paying Agents or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or
identity (as distinguished from status as a United States Alien) of any Owner of
this Note who is a United States Alien (other than such requirements which (i)
would not be applicable to a payment made to a custodian, nominee or other agent
of the Owner, or which can be satisfied by such a custodian, nominee or other
agent certifying to the effect that such Owner is a United States Alien;
provided, however, in each case that payment by such custodian, nominee or agent
to such Owner is not otherwise subject to any requirements referred to in this
sentence, (ii) are applicable only to payment by a custodian, nominee or other
agent of the Owner to or on behalf of such Owner, or (iii) would not be
applicable to a payment made by any other paying agent of the Bank), the Bank
shall redeem this Note as a whole but not in part at a redemption price equal to
the principal amount hereof (or, if this is an Original Issue Discount Note, the
Amortized Face Amount (as defined herein) hereof determined as of the date of
redemption), together, if appropriate, with accrued interest to, but excluding,
the date fixed for redemption, such redemption to take place on such date not
later than one year after notice of such determination has been given as
described herein. If the Bank becomes aware of an event that might give rise to
such certification, information or other reporting requirements, the Bank shall,
as soon as practicable, solicit advice of independent counsel selected by the
Bank to establish whether such certification, information or other reporting
requirements will apply and, if such requirements will, in the written opinion
of such counsel, apply, the Bank shall give prompt notice of such determination
(a "Tax Notice") stating in such notice the effective date of such
certification, information or other reporting requirements and, if applicable,
the date by


                                      K-23



which the redemption shall take place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank
shall not redeem this Note if the Bank, based upon the written opinion of
independent counsel selected by the Bank, shall subsequently determine not less
than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption that subsequent payments
would not be subject to any such requirements, in which case the Bank shall give
prompt notice of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall
thereby be revoked and of no further effect.

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


                                      K-24



preceding paragraph that the level of withholding applicable to principal or
interest has been increased, the Bank will redeem this Note in the manner and on
the terms described in the preceding paragraph (except as provided below),
unless the Bank elects to have the provisions of this paragraph apply rather
than the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. If in such
circumstances this Note is to be redeemed, the Bank will be obligated to pay
Additional Amounts with respect to the original level of withholding on
principal and interest, if any, accrued to the date of redemption.

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

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

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

     Notice of intention to redeem this Note, in whole but not in part, pursuant
to the immediately preceding paragraph will be given (i) if this Note is in
registered form, to the registered holder of this Note at least once not less
than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or
(ii) if this Note is in bearer form, by publication in accordance with
applicable law, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given
earlier than 90 days prior to the effective date of such change or amendment and
that at the time notice of such redemption is given, such obligation to pay such
Additional Amounts remains in effect and cannot be avoided by the Bank's taking
reasonable measures available to it. From and after any redemption date, if
monies for the redemption of this Note shall have been made available for


                                      K-25



redemption on such redemption date, this Note shall cease to bear interest (and,
if this Note is a definitive bearer Note, any interest coupons appertaining
hereto (whether or not attached) maturing after the redemption date shall become
void and no payment shall be made in respect thereof), and the only right of the
holder of this Note shall be to receive payment of the principal amount hereof
(or, if this is an Original Issue Discount Note, the Amortized Face Amount
hereof) and all unpaid interest accrued to such redemption date.

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

Bank's obligations under bankers' acceptances and letters of credit, and the
Bank's obligations to its other creditors, including its obligations to any
Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC")
and any rights acquired by the FDIC as a result of loans made by the FDIC to the
Bank or the purchase or guarantee of any of its assets by the FDIC pursuant to
the provisions of Section 1823(c), (d) or (e) of Title 12 of the United States
Code (except for obligations that are specifically designated as ranking on a

payment in full of all sums owing on such prior obligations, the holder of this
Note, together with the holders of any obligations of the Bank ranking on a
parity with this Note, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of
the Bank the unpaid principal thereof (and unpaid premium, if any) and interest
before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property, or

such transfer and assumption shall serve to supersede and void any default,

position, other than for substitution of the obligor, it would have occupied had
no default, acceleration or subordination occurred; except that any interest and
principal (and premium, if any) previously due, other than by reason of
acceleration, and not paid shall, in the absence of a contrary agreement by the
holder of this Note, be deemed to be immediately due and payable as of the date

Registrar or London Issuing Agent, as the case may be, 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 or defaced 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 Registrar or London Issuing Agent, as the case may be, that such Note was
destroyed, stolen or lost, and, if required, upon receipt of indemnity
satisfactory to the Bank and the Registrar or London Issuing Agent, as the case
may be. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the Bank 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, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Bank
may, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of the
same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced
Note) upon compliance by the holder with the provisions of this paragraph.

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

     The Notes are issued in accordance with the Global Agency Agreement. The
Notes, and any receipts or interest coupons appertaining thereto and the Global
Agency Agreement may be


                                      K-30



amended by the Bank (upon notice to the parties thereto), (i) for the purpose of
curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective
provision contained therein, (ii) to make any further modifications of the terms
of the Global Agency Agreement necessary or desirable to allow for the issuance
of any additional Notes (which modifications shall not be materially adverse to
holders of outstanding Notes) or (iii) in any manner which the Bank (and, in the
case of the Global Agency Agreement, the parties thereto) may deem necessary or
desirable and which shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the
holders of the Notes, or any receipts, talons or interest coupons appertaining
thereto, to all of which each holder of Notes, receipts, talons or interest
coupons shall, by acceptance thereof, be deemed to have consented; provided,
however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the
holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby, (1) change the Maturity Date
with respect to any Note or reduce or cancel the amount payable at Maturity; (2)
reduce the amount payable or modify the payment date for any interest with
respect to any Note or vary the method of calculating the rate of interest with
respect to any Note; (3) reduce any Minimum Interest Rate and/or Maximum
Interest Rate with respect to any Note; (4) modify the currency in which
payments under any Note and/or any receipts, coupons or talons appertaining
thereto are to be made; (5) change the obligation of the Bank to pay Additional
Amounts with respect to Notes, receipts, talons or coupons; or (6) reduce the
percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes the consent of the holders
of which is necessary to modify the provisions of the Notes or to waive any
future compliance or past default. Any instrument given by or on behalf of any
holder of a Note in connection with any consent to any such modification,
amendment or waiver shall be irrevocable once given and shall be conclusive and
binding on all subsequent holders of such Note. Any modifications, amendments or
waivers to this Agreement or the provisions of the Notes, receipts, talons or
coupons shall be conclusive and binding on all holders of Notes, receipts,
talons or coupons, whether or not notation of such modifications, amendments or
waivers is made upon the Notes, receipts, talons or coupons. It will not be
necessary for the consent of the holders of Notes to approve the particular form
of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof.

     No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Bank,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, this Note in the
Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof (or, as provided herein, in the
equivalent in U.S. dollars) at the times, places and rate herein prescribed.

     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.

     If this Note is in registered form, prior to due presentment of this Note
for registration of transfer, the Bank, Domestic Paying Agent, Registrar, London
Paying Agent, Luxembourg Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Listing Agent
(collectively, together with any successors thereto, the "Agents") or any agent
of the Bank or the Agents may treat the holder in whose name this Note is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue, and neither the Bank, the Agents nor any such agent shall be affected
by notice to the contrary except as required by applicable law.
