event specified in Section 6(a) which, pursuant to the terms of a Registered Global Note, requires the issuance of Definitive Registered Notes in exchange for the Registered Global Note, the Fiscal Agent shall cause to be withdrawn from

(e) In order to cause an individual definitive certificate (each, a “Certificate”) to be executed and

written order of the applicable clearing system(s) of an individual definitive Certificate representing Notes registered in the name or upon the order of the person or persons named in such order and shall alter the entries in the Note Register in

respect of the Definitive Registered Note accordingly. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Notes” shall include Certificates as applicable.

(b) Interest payments payable on any Notes that are not punctually paid on an applicable Interest Payment Date will cease to be

payable to the person in whose name such Notes are registered on the Record Date, and such defaulted payments will instead be payable to the person in whose name such Notes are registered on the Record Date or other specified date for determining

Holders entitled to such defaulted interest payments as may be determined by the Bank.

the Holders or Owners in respect of any other purpose, for which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Fiscal Agent may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of such action, as the

case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such purpose.

SECTION 8. Note Register; Registration,

Transfer and Exchange; Persons Deemed Owners.

(a) The Fiscal Agent, as registrar for the Notes, shall maintain

at its designated office where Notes may be presented for registration or transfer, or such other location as may be agreed from time to time, a definitive record (the “Note Register”) in which shall be recorded the names,

addresses and taxpayer identification numbers of the Holders, the CUSIP numbers of the Notes, the Original Issue Dates and the stated maturity dates of the Notes, and details with respect to the transfer and exchange of Notes.

(b) Upon surrender for the purpose of registration of transfer at the offices of the Fiscal Agent of any Note, accompanied by a

written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Fiscal Agent, executed by the registered Holder, in person or by such Holder’s attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing, such Note shall be transferred upon the Note Register, and

the Fiscal Agent shall complete, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of authorized denominations of an equal aggregate principal amount and of like tenor with identical terms and

provisions; provided, however, that Notes may be delivered for the purpose of registration of transfer by mail at the risk and expense of the transferor. Transfers and exchanges of Notes shall be subject to such restrictions as shall

be set forth herein and in the text of the Notes and such reasonable regulations as may be prescribed by the Bank. Successive registrations and registrations of transfers as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such

registration shall be noted on the Note Register. Unless otherwise indicated by this Agreement, DTC or its nominees will be the only registered holder of the Notes.

other Notes of any authorized denominations of an equal aggregate principal amount and of like tenor with identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Note to be exchanged at the offices of the Fiscal Agent. Whenever any Notes are so

surrendered for exchange, the Fiscal Agent shall complete, authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Holder of the Note making the exchange is entitled to receive. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, owners of beneficial interests in

a Registered Global Note shall not be entitled to have Notes registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Registered Notes and shall not be considered the Owners or Holders thereof under this

Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fiscal Agent shall not register the transfer of or exchange (i) any

Note in any principal amount other than U.S. $250,000 or integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof, (ii) any Note the Holder of which will continue, after such proposed transfer or exchange, to hold any other Note in any

principal amount other than U.S. $250,000 or integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof, or (iii) any Registered Global Note if the Fiscal Agent learns that such proposed transfer or exchange would violate any legend

contained on the face of such Registered Global Note.

(e) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange

of Notes shall be valid obligations of the Bank, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(f) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Fiscal Agent may require payment

of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax duty, assessment or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

(g) The Bank and the Fiscal Agent, and any agent of the Bank or the Fiscal Agent, may treat the Holder in whose name a Note is

registered as the owner of such Note for all purposes, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Bank, the Fiscal Agent or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary except as required by applicable law.

SECTION 9. Terms of Issuance.

(a) The Fiscal Agent shall ensure that all Notes delivered to and held by it under this Agreement are issued only in authorized

denominations and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) The Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to

treat a telephone, SWIFT, pdf, email or facsimile communication from a person purporting to be (and who the Fiscal Agent, after making reasonable investigation, believes in good faith to be) an Authorized Representative as sufficient instructions

and authority of the Bank for the Fiscal Agent to act in accordance with Section 9(a).

SECTION 10. Payments.

(a) The Fiscal Agent shall advise the Bank, promptly following the Bank’s request but in no event less than five (5)

Business Days prior to the date on which any payment is to be made to the Fiscal Agent in U.S. Dollars by the Bank pursuant to this Section 10, of the total amount of any principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on any

Interest Payment Date or any maturity date or date of repayment. The Bank shall, not later than 12:00 p.m., local time in New York City, New York, on each date on which any payment with respect to any Notes becomes due, transfer to an account

specified by the Fiscal Agent such amount in U.S. Dollars as shall be sufficient for the purposes of such payment in funds settled through such payment system as the Fiscal Agent and the Bank may agree.

(b) The 2029 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.701% per annum and the 2034 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.217%

per annum. Interest on the Notes will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

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 10(a) is made late but otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the

Fiscal Agent shall make payments with respect to the Notes in accordance with Section 10(a) following receipt by it of such payment.

(d) If for any reason the Fiscal Agent considers in its sole discretion that the amounts to be received by the Fiscal Agent

pursuant to Section 10(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 Fiscal Agent shall then forthwith

notify the Bank of such insufficiency and, until such time as the Fiscal Agent has received the full amount of all such payments, the Fiscal Agent shall not be obliged to pay any such claims.

proof of the holding of Notes and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other

matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. The Fiscal Agent shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Bank or Holders of any

series of Notes as provided above, in which case the Bank or the Holders of such series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall

be elected by vote of the persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the applicable series of Notes at the time Outstanding represented at the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of

Notes or proxy. A record of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared, and one such copy shall be delivered to the Bank and another to the Fiscal Agent to be preserved by the Fiscal Agent.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, other than on the Maturity Date, will, as

payable to the Holder on such Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered on the Record Date or other specified date for determining Holders entitled to such

this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Bank maintained for that purpose in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, that for

If an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date for this Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Bank shall postpone the interest payment or the payment of principal and interest at

The Securities of this series constitute the direct, unsecured and unsubordinated general obligations of the Bank and shall at all times rank

pari passu with all other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Bank.

The Agency Agreement contains restrictive

covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall

occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Agency Agreement.

obligations of the Bank and the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be affected under the Agency Agreement at any time by the Bank and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the

time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Agency Agreement also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of

all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Bank with certain provisions of the Agency Agreement and certain past defaults under the Agency Agreement and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security

shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or

waiver is made upon this Security. For the purpose of this paragraph, the term “default” means any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default or Covenant Breach in respect of such

Securities.

accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and

of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of

$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Agency Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of

a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such

registration of transfer or exchange, but the Bank may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Bank, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of the Bank or the Fiscal

Agent may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Bank, the Fiscal Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the

contrary.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.
