The Terms Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

     The Notes were issued in the form of an FDIC-guaranteed global floating rate note (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2(e)) pursuant to the Indenture dated as of June 10, 1994, as thereby amended (as so amended, the “Senior Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and the Officers’ Certificate and Company Order dated December 15, 2008 (the “Restated Company Order”), delivered pursuant to Section 201, 301 and 303 of the Senior Indenture, which amended and replaced in its entirety that certain Officers’ Certificate and Company Order dated June 20, 2008.
