Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and each other institution named on Schedule I hereto (each, an "Initial Purchaser") with respect to the issue and sale from time to time by the Issuer of one or more series of its medium-term notes, due five years and one day or more from the date of issue (the "Notes").

Sun Life Financial Global Funding, U.L.C., a special purpose unlimited company formed under the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia (the "ULC") pursuant to the Articles of Association, dated as of September 9, 2004 (as amended by a special resolution dated November 3, 2004, and as may be further amended, supplemented, modified, restated, or replaced from time to time, the "Articles of Association") and the Memorandum of Association, dated as of September 9, 2004 (as amended, supplemented, modified, restated or replaced from time to time, together with the Articles of Association, the "ULC Organizational Documents") confirms to the parties its agreement to sell one or more series of preferred shares ("Preferred ULC Shares") and one more common shares ("Common ULC Shares") to the Issuer in connection with each issuance and sale of Notes under the Program.

Sun Life Financial Global Funding, L.L.C., a special purpose limited liability company formed under the laws of Delaware (the "LLC" and together with the ULC and the Issuer, the "Indenture Parties") pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of September 9, 2004 (as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of November 10, 2004 and as it may be further amended, supplemented, modified, restated, or replaced from time to time, the "LLC Agreement") confirms to the parties its agreement to sell one or more series of preferred shares ("Preferred LLC Shares") and one or more common shares ("Common LLC Shares") to the ULC in connection with each issuance and sale of Notes under the Program.

Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware (the "Company") confirms its agreement with the parties to sell to the LLC in connection with each issuance and sale of Notes under the Program one or more funding agreements (each, a "Funding Agreement"). The agreements of the Indenture Parties and the Company heretofore confirmed are all according to the terms and conditions hereof and of each applicable Terms Agreement (as defined herein), and as set forth in the LLC Agreement, the ULC Organizational Documents and the LP Agreement.

As of the date hereof, (i) pursuant to the LP Agreement, the Issuer is authorized to issue and sell Notes under the Program and (ii) pursuant to the Offering Memorandum, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding at any time is limited to U.S. $900,000,000. The Issuer intends to sell the Notes to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the terms of this agreement. The aggregate initial offering price may be modified from time to time. Each Series (as defined below) of Notes will be issued pursuant to the provisions of an indenture dated as of November 10, 2004 between the Indenture Parties and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee") (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time, the "Indenture") and with respect to each Series of Notes, a series indenture entered into among the Indenture Parties and the Trustee (each, a "Series Indenture"). The Notes may be issued in separate series (each, a "Series"), each of which may be comprised of one or more tranches (each, a "Tranche") issued within six months from the issue date of the first Tranche of the applicable Series of Notes. Each Note of a Series will bear interest at a floating rate specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement (as defined herein) (the "Floating Rate"). The Notes of each Series will all be subject to identical terms, except that the issue date, the issue price, the amount of the first payment of interest, the date of the first payment of interest, and any other term specified in an applicable Pricing Supplement may be different in respect of different Tranches of the applicable Series of Notes. Unless otherwise specified in one or more applicable Pricing Supplements, the Notes of each Tranche will all be subject to identical terms in all respects.

The Initial Purchasers include those institutions named in Schedule I hereto and any institution appointed as an Initial Purchaser pursuant to Section 19 below. If any institution is appointed as an Initial Purchaser only with respect to a particular Series of Notes, such institution shall only be an Initial Purchaser with respect to such Series of Notes.

In connection with the offering of Notes, the Issuer and, in connection with the sales of the Funding Agreements, the Company have prepared the Offering Memorandum and, in connection with each sale of Notes under the Program, the Issuer will have prepared a pricing supplement (each, a "Pricing Supplement") including the terms of the Notes and the terms of the offering of such Notes (the term "Offering Memorandum" shall with respect to the Notes of a particular Series include each applicable Pricing Supplement).

The Notes will be offered without being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Each Initial Purchaser has advised the Issuer that each such Initial Purchaser will make offers and sales of the Notes hereunder on the terms set forth in the Offering Memorandum solely to persons who are both "qualified institutional buyers" (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Qualified Institutional Buyers")) and "qualified purchasers" (as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and related rules ("Qualified Purchasers")), in each case purchasing for its own account or the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer/Qualified Purchaser as to which the purchaser exercises sole investment discretion, in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A in accordance with applicable laws, and in accordance with the restrictions imposed by the Indenture, the applicable Series Indenture and each applicable Note Certificate (as defined in the Indenture) and in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the Indenture and the applicable Series Indenture.

. Appointment as Initial Purchasers; Purchases of Notes.

Sale of Notes. The Issuer shall not sell any Notes if such sale shall cause the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding to exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes that can be offered under the Offering Memorandum as such aggregate principal amount may be modified from time to time pursuant to the proper authorization by the Issuer of any such modification and the appropriate modification of the Offering Memorandum. The Initial Purchasers shall have no responsibility for maintaining records with respect to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes, or of otherwise monitoring the availability of Notes for sale.

Purchases as Principal. The Initial Purchasers shall not have any obligation to purchase Notes from the Issuer as principal. However, the Initial Purchasers, individually or in a syndicate, may agree from time to time to purchase Notes from the Issuer as principal for resale to investors determined by such Initial Purchasers.

If the Company, the Indenture Parties and two or more Initial Purchasers enter into a Terms Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, such Initial Purchasers agree to purchase Notes from the Issuer and one or more of such Initial Purchasers shall fail at the Settlement Date to purchase the Notes which it or they are obligated to purchase (the "Unpurchased Notes"), then the nondefaulting Initial Purchasers shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of them or other Initial Purchasers or underwriters to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Unpurchased Notes in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; provided, however, that if such arrangements shall not have been completed within such 24-hour period, then:

if the aggregate principal amount of Unpurchased Notes exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be so purchased by all of such Initial Purchasers on the Settlement Date, such Terms Agreement shall terminate without liability for such failure to purchase on the part of any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser.

Offering Memorandum Amendment. If, during such period after the date hereof and prior to the date of termination of this Agreement, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum in order to make the statements therein not misleading, the Issuer will promptly notify the Initial Purchasers by telephone (with confirmation in writing) to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes and, if so notified, the Initial Purchasers shall forthwith suspend such solicitation and cease using such Offering Memorandum. If the Issuer shall decide to amend or supplement the Offering Memorandum, other than making a deemed amendment pursuant to the filing of any periodic report or definitive proxy or information statement of the Company with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act, it shall so advise the Initial Purchasers promptly by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and, at the Issuer's expense, shall prepare an amendment or supplement to the Offering Memorandum, reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to the Initial Purchasers, so that the statements in the Offering Memorandum as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when each such Offering Memorandum is delivered to a purchaser, be materially misleading and so that the Offering Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, will comply with applicable law in all material respects. If any documents, certificates, opinions and letters furnished to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 6 and Section 7 in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement are not reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to any of the Initial Purchasers, each such Initial Purchaser will not be required to resume the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, until the distribution of any Notes an Initial Purchaser may own has been completed, if any event described above in this paragraph occurs, the Issuer will, at the Issuer's expense, forthwith prepare an amendment or supplement to the Offering Memorandum reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to such Initial Purchaser, furnish such amended or supplemented Offering Memorandum to such Initial Purchaser in such quantities as it may reasonably request and shall furnish to such Initial Purchaser pursuant to Section 6 and Section 7 such documents, certificates, opinions and letters as it may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of such amendment or supplement.

No General Solicitation.

such Initial Purchaser understands that the transfer restrictions and the other provisions set forth in the Offering Memorandum under the headings "Notice to Investors" and "Purchase and Transfer Restrictions", including the legend required thereby, shall apply to the Notes.

Each Initial Purchaser severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and covenants to the Indenture Parties and the Company that:

such Initial Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and a Qualified Purchaser; and
such Initial Purchaser will solicit offers for such Notes only from and will offer and sell or otherwise transfer such Notes only to persons that it reasonably believes to (A) be both Qualified Institutional Buyers and Qualified Purchasers purchasing for their own account or for the account of Qualified Institutional Buyers/Qualified Purchasers as to which the purchasers exercise sole investment discretion in transactions meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and (B) in purchasing such Notes, be able to (and are deemed to) have represented and agreed as provided in the Offering Memorandum under the headings "Notice to Investors" and "Purchase and Transfer Restrictions", including the legend required thereby.

Subsequent Initial Purchaser Notification. Each Initial Purchaser will inform persons acquiring Notes from such Initial Purchaser that the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, are being sold to such persons without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 144A, and may be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred only to persons that are both Qualified Institutional Buyers and Qualified Purchasers and are able to represent as set forth in the Offering Memorandum under the captions "Notice to Investors" and "Purchase and Transfer Restrictions".

. Indemnification.

Indemnification of the Initial Purchaser. The Company and the Issuer, severally and not jointly, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act as follows:

against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of 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;
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, provided that (subject to Section 9(d) hereof) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Issuer and the Company if applicable; and
against any and all expense whatsoever, as reasonably incurred (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by such Initial Purchaser), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity does not apply (x) to an Initial Purchaser for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any written information furnished by such Initial Purchaser expressly for use in the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), which information is specified in the Initial Purchasers Information Letter or (y) any claim for indemnity made by an Initial Purchaser against the Company or the Issuer, only to the extent such claim has previously been satisfied by the Indenture Parties or the Company, respectively, pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.

Indemnification of Company and Issuing Parties. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Indenture Parties, their directors, officers, and each person, if any, who controls any of the Indenture Parties or the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 9(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Initial Purchaser expressly for use in the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), which information is specified in the Initial Purchasers Information Letter.

Actions Against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the applicable Initial Purchaser(s) and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 9(b) hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 9 or Section 10 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 9(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement; provided that an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any such settlement effected without its consent if such indemnifying party, prior to the date of execution of any such settlement agreement, (1) reimburses such indemnified party in accordance with such request for the amount of such fees and expenses of counsel as the indemnifying party believes in good faith to be reasonable, and (2) provides written notice to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party disputes in good faith the reasonableness of the unpaid balance of such fees and expenses.

. Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 9 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Issuer, on the one hand, and the applicable Initial Purchaser(s), on the other hand, from the offering of the Notes that were the subject of the claim for indemnification or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) 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 Company and the Issuer, on the one hand, and the applicable Initial Purchaser(s), on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Issuer, on the one hand, and the applicable Initial Purchaser(s), on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Notes that were the subject of the claim for indemnification shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions, with respect to the Issuer and the Company, as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer, bears to the aggregate initial offering price of such Notes and, with respect to the applicable Initial Purchasers, the total discount or commission received by the applicable Initial Purchaser(s), as the case may be, bears to the aggregate initial offering price of such Notes.

The relative fault of the Company and the Issuer, on the one hand, and the applicable Initial Purchaser(s), on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Issuer, on the one hand, or by the applicable Initial Purchaser(s), on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 10 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any applicable untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, (i) no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount or commission received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the offering of the Notes that were the subject of the claim for indemnification exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any applicable untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In addition, in connection with an offering of Notes purchased from the Issuer by two or more Initial Purchasers as principal, the respective obligations of such Initial Purchasers to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several, and not joint, in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Notes that each such Initial Purchaser has agreed to purchase from the Issuer.

For purposes of this Section 10, each director, officer and person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director, officer and trustee (if applicable) of the Issuer or the Company, as applicable, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or the Issuer, as applicable.

The contribution provision contained in this Section 10 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser(s), its officers or directors or any person controlling any Initial Purchaser(s) or by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Company, their respective officers or directors or any person controlling the Issuer or the Company and (ii) acceptance of any payment of any of the Notes.

. Payment of Expenses.

The Issuer will pay all Issuance and Maintenance Expenses under this Agreement and any applicable Terms Agreement, including:

The preparation, printing and delivery of the Offering Memorandum and any amendments or supplements thereto;
The preparation, printing and delivery of the Program Documents;
The preparation, issuance and delivery of the Notes, including any fees and expenses relating to the eligibility and issuance of Notes in book-entry form and the cost of obtaining CUSIP or other identification numbers for the Notes;
The fees and disbursements of the Company's and Indenture Parties' accountants, counsel and other advisors or agents (including any calculation agent or exchange rate agent) and of the Indenture Trustee and their counsel;
The reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. as co-arrangers of the Program, incurred in connection with (i) establishment of the Program and (ii) the preparation or review of any of the Program Documents;
Unless otherwise agreed, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the applicable Initial Purchaser(s) incurred from time to time in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and
Any reasonable advertising and other reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Initial Purchasers incurred with the prior written approval of the Company and Issuer.

. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, in certificates of officers of the Company or in Indenture Parties Certificates submitted pursuant hereto or thereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, its directors, officers or any controlling person of the Initial Purchasers, or by or on behalf of the Company or the Issuer, its directors, officers, trustees or any controlling persons of the Company or the Issuer, respectively, and shall survive each delivery of and payment for the Notes.

. Termination.

Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement (excluding any agreement by one or more Initial Purchasers to purchase Notes from the Issuer) may be terminated for any reason, at any time by the Company, the Issuer, or an Initial Purchaser, as to itself, upon the giving of thirty (30) days' prior written notice of such termination to the other parties hereto.

Termination of Terms Agreement to Purchase Notes as Principal. The applicable Initial Purchaser(s) (which shall be the bookrunning lead manager(s) in connection with a syndicated issue) may terminate any Terms Agreement pursuant to which such Initial Purchaser(s) shall have agreed to purchase any Notes from the Issuer, immediately upon notice to the Issuer, at any time on or prior to the Settlement Date relating thereto, if (i) there has been, since the date of such Terms Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Offering Memorandum, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings or business affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, or of the Indenture Parties, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development or event involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Initial Purchaser(s) (which shall be the bookrunning lead manager(s) in connection with a syndicated issue), impracticable or inadvisable to market such Notes or enforce contracts for the sale of such Notes, (iii) trading in any securities of the Company or the Issuer has been suspended or materially limited by the SEC or a national securities exchange or other securities exchange upon which securities of the Company or the Issuer are listed, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by either of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the SEC, the NASD or any other governmental authority or (iv) a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.

General. In the event of any such termination, neither party will have any liability to the other party hereto, except that (i) if at the time of termination (a) any Initial Purchaser shall own any Notes purchased by it from the Issuer or (b) an offer to purchase any of the Notes has been accepted by the Issuer but the time of delivery to the Initial Purchaser(s) of such Notes relating thereto has not occurred, the covenants set forth in Section 5 and Section 7 hereof shall remain in effect until such Notes are so resold or delivered, as the case may be, and (iii) the provisions of Section 11 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Section 9 and Section 10 hereof, and the provisions of Section 12, Section 15 and Section 16 hereof shall remain in effect.

. Notices.

Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons, officers and directors referred to in Section 9 and Section 10 hereof and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.

. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and, if executed in more than one counterpart, the executed counterparts hereof shall constitute a single instrument.

. Amendments.

This Agreement may be amended or supplemented if, but only if, such amendment or supplement is in writing and is signed by the Company, the Issuing Parties and the Initial Purchasers. The Issuer may from time to time nominate any institution as a new Initial Purchaser hereunder either in respect of the Program generally or in relation to a particular Series or Tranche of Notes only; in which event, upon confirmation by such institution of an initial purchaser accession letter (the "Initial Purchaser Accession Letter") in the terms or substantially in the form of Exhibit L, such institution shall become a party hereto, subject as provided below, with all the authority, rights, powers, duties and obligations of an Initial Purchaser as if originally named as an Initial Purchaser hereunder; provided that, in the case of an institution which has become an Initial Purchaser in relation to a particular Tranche of Notes, following the issue of the relevant Notes, the relevant new Initial Purchaser shall have no further authority rights, powers, duties or obligations except such as may have accrued or been incurred prior to, or in connection with, the issue of such Tranche of Notes (which includes but is not limited to any rights contained in Section 9, Section 10 and Section 11 of this Agreement).

. Stabilization.

The Initial Purchaser(s) may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, over-allot and effect transactions in any over-the-counter market or otherwise in connection with the distribution of the Notes with a view to supporting the market price of Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail for a limited period; provided, however, there is no such obligation on the Initial Purchaser(s) to do so. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time and must be brought to an end after a limited period. The Issuer and the applicable Initial Purchaser(s) hereby agree that in any jurisdiction where there can be only one stabilizing agent, the Initial Purchaser who may act as stabilizing agent will be set forth in the applicable Terms Agreement. In such circumstances, as between the Issuer, on one hand, and one or more Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, such Initial Purchaser(s) shall act as principal, and any loss resulting from stabilization shall be borne, and any profit arising therefrom and any sum received by such Initial Purchaser(s) shall be beneficially retained by such Initial Purchaser(s), as the case may be, for such Initial Purchasers' own account.
