The Notes will be entitled to the benefit of a full and unconditional guarantee (the “Guarantee”) by Holding as set forth in the Indenture, as defined below, pursuant to which Holding will guarantee the obligations of the Bank under the Notes.

The Notes will be issued as senior indebtedness of the Bank pursuant to the provisions of an indenture dated as of September 15, 2006 (as may be supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Indenture”) among the Bank, Holding, Citibank N.A., as securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”) and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The Notes will have the maturities, interest rates, and other terms as set forth in supplements to the Base Prospectus referred to below.

For each offering of the Notes, the Bank and Holding will appoint, pursuant to a Selling Agency Invitation (substantially in the form of Exhibit A), some or all of the Agents as their exclusive selling agents for the purposes of soliciting and receiving offers to purchase Notes by others. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, you agree, upon such appointment, to use reasonable efforts to solicit and receive offers to purchase Notes upon terms acceptable to the Bank at such times and in such amounts as the Bank shall from time to time specify. In addition, you may also purchase Notes as principal pursuant to the terms of a terms agreement relating to such sale (a “Terms Agreement”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof.

     (a) Solicitations as Agents. In connection with your actions as selling agents upon appointment pursuant to a Selling Agency Invitation, you agree to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented.

     The Bank reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to instruct you to suspend at any time, for any period of time or permanently, the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes. Upon receipt of at least one business day’s prior notice from the Bank, you will forthwith suspend solicitations of offers to purchase Notes from the Bank until such time as the Bank has advised you that such solicitation may be resumed. While such solicitation is suspended, neither the Bank nor Holding shall be required to deliver any certificates, opinions or letters in accordance with Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c); provided, however, that if the Registration Statement, Prospectus, or ABN Notes Prospectus Supplement is amended or supplemented during the period of suspension (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for (i) the specific terms of the Notes, or (ii) for a change you deem to be immaterial), you shall not be required to resume soliciting offers to purchase Notes until the Bank and Holding have delivered such certificates, opinions and letters as you may request.

     The Bank agrees to pay to you, as consideration for the sale of each security resulting from a solicitation made or an offer to purchase received by you in connection with an offering in which you were appointed as a selling agent under a Selling Agency Invitation, a commission in the form of a discount from the purchase price of such security equal to between 0.5% and 4% (depending upon such Note’s maturity) of the principal amount of such Note (provided that the commission for Notes having a maturity of 30 years or greater will be negotiated) or such other discount as may be specified in the Time of Sale Information or Selling Agency Invitation relating to such Note.

     You shall communicate to the Bank, orally or in writing, each offer to purchase Notes received by you as agent that in your judgment should be considered by the Bank. The Bank shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Notes and may reject any offer in whole or in part. You shall have the right to reject any offer to purchase Notes that you consider to be unacceptable, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of your agreements contained herein. The procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Notes sold by you as agent and the payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures (as hereinafter defined).

     (b) Purchases as Principal. Each sale of Notes to you as principal shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with each such sale, the Bank will enter into a Terms Agreement that will provide for the sale of such Notes to and the purchase thereof by you. Each Terms Agreement will take the form of either (i) a written agreement between you and the Bank, which may be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Written Terms Agreement”), or (ii) an oral agreement between you and the Bank confirmed in writing by you to the Bank.

     Your commitment to purchase Notes as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Bank and Holding herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Each Terms Agreement shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be purchased by you pursuant thereto, the maturity date of such Notes, the price to be paid to the Bank for such Notes, the interest rate and interest rate formula, if any, applicable to such Notes and any other terms of such Notes. Each such Terms Agreement may also specify any requirements for officers’ certificates, opinions of counsel and letters from the independent auditors of the Bank pursuant to Section 6 hereof. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Notes, as the case may be, by you.

     Each Terms Agreement shall specify the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Notes, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified in a Terms Agreement, the procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Notes purchased by you as principal and the payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures. Each date of delivery of and payment for Notes to be purchased by you as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement, as the case may be, is referred to herein as a “Settlement Date.”

     Unless otherwise specified in a Terms Agreement, if you are purchasing Notes, as principal you may resell such Notes to other dealers, at a discount or discounts such as you may determine provided that each such discount, shall not exceed the amount set forth in the Time of Sale Information relating to such Notes.

     (c) Administrative Procedures. You and the Bank agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed in the ABN Notes Administrative Procedures (attached hereto as Exhibit C) (the “Administrative Procedures”), as amended from time to time. The Administrative Procedures may be amended only by written agreement of the Bank and you.

(d) Delivery. The documents required to be delivered by Section 5 of this Agreement as a condition precedent to your obligation to begin soliciting offers to purchase Notes as agent of the Bank upon receipt of a Selling Agency Invitation shall be delivered at the office of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the date hereof, or at such other time and/or place as you and the Bank may agree upon in writing, but in no event later than the day prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which you begin soliciting offers to purchase Notes pursuant to such Offering and (ii) the first date on which the Bank accepts any offer by you to purchase Notes as principal. The date of delivery of such documents is referred to herein as the “Commencement Date.”

4. Agreements. The Bank and Holding on the one hand, and you on the other hand, agree that:

(a) Prior to the termination of any offering of the Notes pursuant to any Terms Agreement, neither the Bank nor Holding will file any pricing supplement or free writing prospectus relating to the Notes or any amendment to the Registration Statement unless either the Bank or Holding have previously furnished to you a copy thereof for your review and will not file any such proposed supplement, amendment or free writing prospectus to which you reasonably object; provided, however, that the foregoing requirement shall not apply to any of Holding’s periodic filings with the Commission required to be filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 13(f), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, copies of which filings the Bank or Holding will cause to be delivered to you promptly after being transmitted for filing with the Commission. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Bank or Holding will promptly cause each pricing supplement to be filed with or transmitted for filing to the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The Bank or Holding will promptly advise you (i) of the filing of any amendment or supplement to the Base Prospectus or ABN Notes Prospectus Supplement, (ii) of the filing and effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Base Prospectus or ABN Notes Prospectus Supplement or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Bank or Holding of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Bank and Holding will use their reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or notice of suspension of qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as practicable the withdrawal thereof. If the Base

Prospectus or ABN Notes Prospectus Supplement is amended or supplemented as a result of the filing under the Exchange Act of any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, you shall not be obligated to solicit offers to purchase Notes so long as you are not reasonably satisfied with such document.

(b) If any event occurs or condition exists as a result of which the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include an untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in your opinion or in the opinion of the Bank or Holding, it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, to comply with applicable law, the Bank or Holding will immediately notify you by telephone (with confirmation in writing) to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes and, if so notified by the Bank or Holding, you shall forthwith suspend such solicitation and cease using the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. If the Bank or Holding shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, it shall so advise you promptly by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and, at its expense, shall prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, satisfactory in all respects to you, that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request. If any documents, certificates, opinions and letters furnished to you pursuant to paragraph (g) below and Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement are satisfactory in all respects to you, upon the filing with the Commission of such amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or upon the effectiveness of an amendment to the Registration Statement, you will resume the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4(b), until the distribution of any Notes you may own as principal has been completed, if any event described above in this paragraph (b) occurs, the Bank or Holding will, at their own expense, forthwith prepare and cause to be filed as soon as practicable with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, satisfactory in all respects to you, will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request and shall furnish to you pursuant to paragraph (g) below and Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 6(c) such documents, certificates,

opinions and letters as you may request in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement.

     (c) If any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if, in the opinion of the Bank or Holding, it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information to comply with applicable law, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission, if necessary, and furnish, at its own expense, to the Agents and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Information so that the statements in the Time of Sale Information as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Time of Sale Information is delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Information, as amended or supplemented, will comply with law.

     (d) Holding will make generally available to its security holders and to you as soon as practicable earning statements that satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder covering twelve month periods beginning, in each case, on the earlier of January 1, or July 1 with respect to each sale of Notes.

     (e) The Bank or Holding will furnish to each Agent, without charge, (i) a signed copy of the Registration Statement, including exhibits and all amendments thereto, and as many copies of the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information and any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as you may reasonably request and (ii) in connection with any purchase of Notes pursuant to a Terms Agreement or solicitation of an offer to purchase Notes that is accepted by the Bank, prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the business day next succeeding the date of such Terms Agreement or the acceptance of such offer, as many copies of the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented (including the pricing supplement relating to the Notes to be purchased pursuant to such Terms Agreement or accepted offer), as you may reasonably request.

     (f) The Bank and Holding will endeavor to qualify the Notes for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably request and to maintain such qualifications for as long as you shall reasonably request.

     (g) During the term of this Agreement, each of the Bank and Holding shall furnish to you such relevant documents and certificates of officers of the Bank and Holding, respectively, relating to their business, operations and affairs, the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto, the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantee, the Administrative Procedures, any Terms Agreement, and the performance by the Bank and Holding of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder as you may from time to time reasonably request.

     (h) The Bank or Holding shall notify you promptly in writing of any downgrading that occurs on or following the date hereof, or of its receipt of any notice on or following the date hereof of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded the Bank, Holding or any of their securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act.

     (i) The Bank will, whether or not any sale of Notes is consummated, pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and any Terms Agreement, including: (i) the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Notes, (iii) the fees and disbursements of the Bank’s counsel and accountants, of the Trustees and their counsel, (iv) the qualification of the Notes under securities or Blue Sky laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(f), including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of your counsel in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of any Blue Sky or Legal Investment Memoranda, (v) the printing and delivery to you in quantities as hereinabove stated of copies of the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto and of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, (vi) the printing and delivery to you of copies of the Indenture, and any Blue Sky or Legal Investment Memoranda, (vii) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the Notes, (viii) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred with respect to any filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and (ix) the fees and disbursements of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx.

such Terms Agreement, (B) Notes previously agreed to be sold by the Bank and (C) commercial paper issued in the ordinary course of business).

5. Conditions of the Obligations of the Agents. Your obligation to solicit offers to purchase Notes as agent of the Bank and Holding in connection with any offering of Notes with respect to which you have received a Selling Agency Invitation and your obligation to purchase Notes as principal pursuant to any Terms Agreement will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Bank and Holding herein, to the accuracy of the statements of the Bank’s and Holding’s officers made in each certificate furnished pursuant to the provisions hereof and to the performance and observance by the Bank and Holding of all covenants and agreements herein contained on their part to be performed and observed (in the case of your obligation to solicit offers to purchase Notes, at the time of such solicitation, and, in the case of your obligation to purchase Notes, at the time the Bank accepts the offer to purchase such Notes and at the time of issuance and delivery) and (in each case) to the following additional conditions precedent when and as specified below:

     (a) Prior to such solicitation or purchase, as the case may be:

     (i) The Registration Statement has become effective; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect, and no proceedings for such purpose are pending before or threatened by the Commission;

     (ii) there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Bank, Holding and their subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Time of Sale Information that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Time of Sale Information;

     (iii) there shall not have occurred any of the following: (a) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Euronext Amsterdam N.V.; (b) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or on commercial banking activities in The Netherlands declared by Dutch authorities; and (c) any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis the effect of which shall be such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to

proceed with the purchase of the Notes by you on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Information; and

     (iv) there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded the Bank or Holding or any of the Bank’s or Holding’s securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act;

(A) except, in each case described in paragraph (i), (ii) or (iii) above, as disclosed to you in writing by the Bank prior to such solicitation or, in the case of a purchase of Notes, before the offer to purchase such Notes was made or (B) the relevant event shall have occurred and been known to you prior to such solicitation or, in the case of a purchase of Notes, before the offer to purchase such Notes was made.

     (b) On the Commencement Date, you shall have received:

     (i) The opinion, dated as of such date, of Xxxxxxxx Chance Limited Liability Partnership, special Dutch counsel to the Bank and Holding, or of other counsel satisfactory to you and who may be an officer of the Bank and Holding, to the effect that:

     (A) Each of the Bank and Holding are: (i) registered as a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap), (ii) validly existing under the laws of The Netherlands, and (iii) licensed as a credit institution (kredietinstelling) under the Act on the Supervision of Credit Institutions (Wet Toezicht Kredietwezen) (“ASCI”) and registered as such in the register as referred to in Article 52 of the ASCI. The Bank is duly incorporated on March 29, 1824 and Holding is duly incorporated on May 30, 1990.

     (1) each of the Bank and Holding have corporate power and corporate capacity to execute and deliver the Indenture, the Notes and this Agreement, authorize the distribution of the Prospectus on their behalf, undertake and perform the obligations expressed to be assumed by each of

them in the Indenture, the Notes and this Agreement; and

     (2) neither the Bank nor Holding omitted to take any internal corporate action in connection with its entering into the Indenture and this Agreement, the distribution of the Prospectus and the issuance of the Notes the absence of which may give it a right to assert against contracting parties acting in good faith that it has not validly entered into the Indenture or this Agreement; and

     (B) each of the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantee, and this Agreement has been duly executed on behalf of the Bank and Holding and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligations of the Bank and Holding respectively, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

     (C) no authorizations, licenses, approvals, orders or consents, registrations, recordations or filings with any court, governmental authority, bureau, official agency or body in The Netherlands are required under the laws and regulations of The Netherlands for (or in connection with):

     (1) the distribution by or on behalf of the Bank and Holding of the Prospectus outside the Netherlands; or

     (2) the execution and delivery by the Bank and Holding of the Indenture, the Notes and this Agreement, and the performance of their respective obligations thereunder and the issue of the Notes by the Bank; or

     (3) the payment by the Bank and/or Holding, when due, of all sums which they may be liable to pay in respect of the Notes or under the Indenture and this Agreement in the currency in which they are stated to be payable;

provided, however, that with respect to (1) and (2) above, any agent offering securities or distributing the Prospectus in or from The Netherlands (whether electronically or otherwise) will be licensed or exempt pursuant to Articles

7 and 10 inclusively of the Securities Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxx 0000.

In themselves, none of the matters referred to in (C)(1) through (C)(3) above, conflicts or will conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of (or constitute a breach of or default under):

     (1) the Articles of Association of either the Bank or Holding; or

     (2) any law or generally applicable regulation of The Netherlands to which the Bank or Holding are subject

which would make the Indenture or this Agreement, or parts thereof, or the Notes or the Guarantee null and void or subject to avoidance or nullification in The Netherlands.

     (D) the statements in the Registration Statement, as then amended or supplemented, under Item 8, insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the legal matters, referred to therein, fairly summarize the matters referred to therein.

     (E) the agreement of the Bank and Holding that the Indenture, the Notes and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York is legal, valid and binding, and the courts of The Netherlands will observe and give effect to the choice of the laws of the State of New York as the law governing such documents in any proceedings in relation to such documents, but when applying the laws of the State of New York as the law governing such documents, the courts of competent jurisdiction of The Netherlands, if any, by virtue of the 1980 Rome Convention on the Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations (the “Rome Convention”):

     (1) may give effect to the mandatory rules of law of another country with which the situation has a close connection, if and insofar as, under the law of the latter country, those rules must be applied whatever the law applicable to such

documents (a limitation on the chosen law arising under article 7 (1) of the Rome Convention);

     (2) will apply the law of The Netherlands in a situation where it is mandatory irrespective of the law otherwise applicable to such documents (a limitation on the chosen laws arising under article 7 (2) of the Rome Convention);

     (3) may refuse to apply the laws of the State of New York if such application is manifestly incompatible with the public policy of The Netherlands (a limitation on the chosen laws arising under article 16 of the Rome Convention); and

     (4) shall have regard to the law of the country in which performance takes place in relation to the manner of performance and the steps to be taken in the event of defective performance (article 10(2) of the Rome Convention).

     (F) the submission by the Bank and Holding to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in New York in respect of any proceedings arising out of or in relation to the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantee (in respect of Holding only) and this Agreement is valid and legally binding upon the Bank and Holding and not subject to unilateral revocation. However, because of the non-exclusive nature of the jurisdiction clause a Netherlands court may assume jurisdiction on the basis of the general provisions of the Judgments Regulation (as defined below) or, if the Judgments Regulation does not apply, of Netherlands domestic rules on international jurisdiction. Furthermore, a competent court in The Netherlands may assume jurisdiction (i) if the defendant enters an appearance and does not contest the jurisdiction prior to defences relating to the merits and, in the event that Council Regulation (EC) No. 44/2001 on Jurisdiction and the Enforcement and Judgments in Civil and Commercial matters of 22 December 2000 (as amended) (the “Judgments Regulation”) does not apply, there is a reasonable ground for jurisdiction of such Netherlands court; (ii) pursuant to Article 254 Dutch Code of Civil Procedure (Wetboek van Burgerlijke Rechtsvordering) in urgent matters, when, in view of the interests of the

parties, provisional measures are required, or (iii) in the context of an attachment against the Bank or Holding or any of their respective assets.

     (ii) The opinion, dated as of such date, of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx, counsel for the Agents, to the effect that:

     (A) the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and assuming that it has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by the Bank and Holding, the Indenture is a valid and binding agreement of the Bank and Holding, enforceable against the Bank and Holding in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof (i) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered at a proceeding in equity or law;

     (B) assuming the forms of the Notes have been duly authorized as a matter of Dutch law, when the forms of the Notes have been duly authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of the Indenture and when the Notes have been executed by the Bank and Holding and authenticated by the Trustee or its duly appointed agent in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof, the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will be valid and binding obligations of the Bank, and the Guarantee will be a valid and binding obligation of Holding, each enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof (i) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered at a proceeding in equity or law;

     (C) the execution and delivery by the Bank and Holding of the Notes, the Indenture and this Agreement, and the performance by each of the Bank and Holding of their respective obligations under such

agreements (and the Guarantee in respect of Holding only) will not contravene any provision of applicable U.S. federal or New York State law that in such counsel’s experience is normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by such agreements, and no consent, approval, authorization or order of or qualification with any U.S. federal or New York State governmental body or agency that in such counsel’s experience is normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by such agreements is required for the performance by the Bank and Holding of their obligations under the Notes, Guarantee (with respect to Holding only), the Indenture or this Agreement, except such as have been obtained and except that no opinion is expressed herein with respect to (i) the applicability of the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of any Notes or (ii) whether the purchase of any Notes constitutes a “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

     (D) the statements in the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Debt Securities”, “Description of Notes”, “Plan of Distribution” and “Forms of Securities” insofar as such statements purport to constitute summaries of the legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein, fairly summarize the matters therein described in all material respects;

     (E) such counsel confirms its opinion set forth in the ABN Notes Prospectus Supplement under the caption “United States Federal Taxation” and that, subject to the qualifications set forth therein, the discussion set forth in the ABN Notes Prospectus Supplement under such caption is an accurate summary of the U.S. federal income tax matters described therein;

     (F) the Bank is not required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

     (G) each document filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented through the date

hereof (except for the financial statements or schedules or other financial or statistical data), appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

     (H) (1) in the opinion of such counsel, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (except for the financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data and any Form T-1 included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion) appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and (2) nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that causes such counsel to believe that (i) the Registration Statement or the Base Prospectus included therein (except for the financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data and any Form T-1 included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need not express any belief) as of the Commencement Date contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) the ABN Notes Prospectus Supplement (except as aforesaid) as of the Commencement Date contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statement therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

     Xxxxx Xxxx will advise you that, based solely on conversations with the Commission, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for the purpose have been instituted, are pending or, to such counsel’s knowledge, are contemplated under the Securities Act.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the opinions described in subparagraphs (B), (C), (D), (E) and (H)(2)(i) and (ii) of paragraph (b)(ii) above shall be deemed not to address the application of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, or the rules, regulations or interpretations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to Notes the payments of principal or interest on which, or any other

payments with respect to which, will be determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, securities issued by the Company or by entities affiliated or unaffiliated with the Bank or Holding, baskets of such securities or indices and on such other terms as may be set forth in the relevant pricing supplement specifically relating to the Notes.

     With respect to subparagraph (H) of paragraph (b)(ii) above, Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx may state that their opinion and belief are based upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the ABN Notes Prospectus Supplement, and any amendments or supplements thereto (but not including documents incorporated therein by reference) and review and discussion of the contents thereof (including documents incorporated therein by reference), but are without independent check or verification, except as specified.

     The opinion of Xxxxxxxx Chance Limited Liability Partnership described in paragraph (b)(i) above shall be rendered to you at the request of the Bank and Holding and shall so state therein. In addition, such opinion and the opinion described in paragraph (b)(ii) above shall expressly provide that any agent that becomes an Agent hereunder following the Commencement Date may rely on such opinion as though it were addressed to such agent (it being understood that such opinion speaks only as of the date of such opinion).

     (c) On the Commencement Date, you shall have received a certificate of the Bank and Holding, dated the Commencement Date and signed by two authorized signatories of the Bank and Holding, respectively, to the effect set forth in subparagraph (a)(iii) above, and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Bank and Holding contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of such date, that the Bank and Holding have complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on their parts to be performed or satisfied on or before such date and as to such other matters as you shall reasonably request.

     (d) On the Commencement Date, Holding’s independent auditors shall have furnished to you a letter or letters, dated as of the Commencement Date, in form and substance satisfactory to you containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and the Time of Sale Information, provided that each letter so furnished shall use a “cut-off date” no more than three business days prior to the date of such letter.

     (e) On the Commencement Date the Bank and Holding shall have furnished to you such appropriate further information, certificates

and documents as you may reasonably request. On each Settlement Date with respect to any applicable Terms Agreement, counsel to the Agents shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions as such counsel may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling such counsel to pass upon the issuance and sale of Notes as herein contemplated and related proceedings, or in order to evidence the accuracy and completeness of any of the representations and warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Bank and Holding in connection with the issuance and sale of Notes as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Agents and to counsel to the Agents.

6. Additional Agreements of the Bank and Holding.

     (a) Unless the Bank has suspended the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes pursuant to Section 3(a), at your request each of the Bank and Holding will deliver or cause to be delivered forthwith to you a certificate signed by two authorized signatories of the Bank and Holding, respectively, in form reasonably satisfactory to you, of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in Section 5(c) in the following circumstances:

     (i) at the time of filing of the annual report on Form 20-F by Holding, or

     (ii) at any time the Registration Statement or Prospectus is amended or supplemented to provide for a material change directly relating to the offering of the Notes (other than by means of a pricing supplement), which shall not include a change providing for specific terms of the Notes or any change resulting from the merger of any of the Agents,

     in each case, provided that your request shall be made at a reasonable time in advance of such filing, amendment or supplement.

     (b) Each time the Bank and Holding furnish a certificate pursuant to Section 6(a), at your request the Bank and Holding will furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to you written opinions of counsel for the Bank and Holding. Any such opinions shall be dated the date of such filing, amendment or supplement, as the case may be, and shall be in a form satisfactory to you and shall be of the same tenor as the opinions referred to in Section 5(b), but modified to relate to the Registration Statement which incorporates the annual report on Form 20-F, or the Registration Statement and Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter, as the case may be. In lieu of such opinion,

counsel last furnishing such an opinion to you may furnish to you a letter to the effect that you may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such last opinion will be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement which incorporates the annual report on Form 20-F, or the Registration Statement and Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter).

(c) Each time the Bank and Holding furnish a certificate pursuant to Section 6(a), at your request Holding shall cause its independent auditors forthwith to furnish you with a letter, dated the date of such filing, amendment or supplement, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to you, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 5(d), with regard to the amended or supplemental financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the date of such letter; provided that each letter so furnished shall use a “cut-off date” no more than three business days prior to the date of such letter.

(d) The Company will pay the required Commission filing fees related to the Notes within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) under the Securities Act and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Securities Act.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Bank and Holding agree to indemnify and hold harmless you and each person, if any, who controls you within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Bank or Holding shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such Losses are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to you furnished to the Bank or Holding in writing by you expressly for use therein. The foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any Time of Sale Information shall not inure to the benefit of any Agent from whom the person asserting any such Losses

purchased any Notes where it shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment that (i) prior to the Time of Sale of such Notes the Company shall have notified such Agent that the Time of Sale Information contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) such untrue statement or omission of a material fact was corrected in a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus constituting Time of Sale Information, such correcting Permitted Free Writing Prospectus was filed with the Commission prior to the Time of Sale of such Notes and such correcting Permitted Free Writing Prospectus was provided to such Agent far enough in advance of the Time of Sale of such Notes so that such correcting Permitted Free Writing Prospectus could have been provided to such person prior to the Time of Sale of such Notes, (iii) such correcting Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (excluding any document then incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference) was not conveyed to such person at or prior to the Time of Sale of such Notes, and (iv) such correcting Permitted Free Writing Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such Losses.

     (b) You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank and Holding, their directors, their officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Bank or Holding within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Bank and Holding to you, but only (i) with reference to information relating to you furnished to the Bank or Holding in writing by you expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any amendments or supplements thereto) or the Time of Sale Information.

     (c) You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank and Holding, their directors, officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls the Bank or Holding within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all Losses to which any of them may become subject, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are in connection with the breach of any representation or warranty made by you in Section 2 hereof.

     (d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to any of the paragraphs (a) through (c) above, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the

indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party 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 party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party 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 party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings 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 such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a) above, and by the Bank or Holding, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) above. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there were to be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party 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 party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages

or liabilities referred to therein in connection with any offering of Notes, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party 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 and Holding on the one hand and you on the other hand from the offering of such Notes 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 Bank and Holding on the one hand and you on the other hand 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 and Holding on the one hand and you on the other hand in connection with the offering of such Notes shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Bank bear to the total discounts and commissions received by you in respect thereof. The relative fault of the Bank and Holding on the one hand and of you on the other hand 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 and Holding on the one hand and you on the other hand and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(f) The Bank and Holding on the one hand and you on the other hand agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (e) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, you shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes referred to in paragraph (e) above that were offered and sold to the public through you exceeds the amount of any damages that you have otherwise been required to pay by 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 Securities

Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 7 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Bank and Holding, their officers and you set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement will remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any such Terms Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of you or any person controlling you or by or on behalf of the Bank or Holding, their officers or directors or any person controlling the Bank or Holding and acceptance of and payment for any of the Notes.

8. Position of the Agents. In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the sale of any Notes by the Bank and Holding (other than Notes sold to you pursuant to a Terms Agreement), you are acting solely as agents of the Bank and Holding and do not assume any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with any purchaser of Notes. You shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Bank and Holding in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Notes has been solicited by you and accepted by the Bank and Holding, but you shall not have any liability to the Bank or Holding in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the Bank or Holding shall default in their respective obligations to deliver Notes to a purchaser whose offer the Bank has accepted, the Bank and Holding shall hold you harmless against any loss, claim, damage or liability arising from or as a result of such default and shall, in particular, pay to you the commission you would have received had such sale been consummated.

9. Offering Restrictions.

(a) If any Notes are to be offered outside the United States, you will not offer or sell any such Notes in any jurisdiction if such offer or sale would not be in compliance with any applicable law or regulation or if any consent, approval or permission is needed for such offer or sale by you or for or on behalf of the Bank or Holding unless such consent, approval or permission has been previously obtained. Subject to the obligations of the Bank and Holding set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, neither the Bank nor Holding shall have any responsibility for, and it shall by your responsibility to obtain, any consent, approval or permission required by you for the subscription, offer, sale or delivery by you of Notes, or the distribution of any offering materials, under the laws and regulations in

force in any jurisdiction to which you are subject or in or from which you make any subscription, offer, sale or delivery.

(b) You will not offer or sell any securities anywhere in the world except in compliance with the requirements of the Dutch Securities Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxx 0000 (Wet toezicht effectenverkeer).

10. Termination. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements between the parties hereto or their predecessors with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be terminated at any time either by the Bank and Holding on the one hand or by you on the other hand upon the giving of written notice of such termination to the other parties hereto, but without prejudice to any rights, obligations or liabilities of either parties hereto accrued or incurred prior to such termination. The termination of this Agreement shall not require termination of any Terms Agreement, and the termination of any such Terms Agreement shall not require termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated, the third paragraph of Section 3(a), the last sentence of Section 4(b) and 3(c) and Sections 7, 8, 11, 12 and 14 shall survive; provided that if at the time of termination an offer to purchase Notes has been accepted by the Bank but the time of delivery to the purchaser or its agent of such Notes has not occurred, the provisions of Sections 1, 3(b), 3(c), 4(a), 4(e), 4(f), 4(g), 4(h), 4(j), 5 and 6 shall also survive until such delivery has been made.

11. Advertisements. You agree not to publish or cause to be published or use any written notice, circular, advertisement, letter or communication relating to any offering or proposed offering of the Notes, including, without limitation, any communications within the meaning of Rule 134 under the Securities Act, other than the Prospectus or Time of Sale Information relating to the particular Notes.

12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Agents, at the address beneath such Agent’s signature on the signature page hereof; or, if sent to the Bank and Holding, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed and confirmed to the Bank at 000 Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx XX0X 0XX, Xxxxxxx, Attention: GEDD–New Issues, with a copy to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx, Esq., Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (telefax number: 212-450-3135) and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Esq., ABN AMRO Incorporated, 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (telefax number: 212-450-7303).

13. Successors. This Agreement and any Terms Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 and the purchasers of Notes (to the extent expressly provided in Section 5), and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

15. Applicable Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

16. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Bank and Holding agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding brought by any Agent or by any person controlling any Agent, arising out of or based upon this Agreement may be instituted in any State or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waive any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any suit, action or proceeding. The Bank and Holding have appointed Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, General Counsel, ABN AMRO Bank N.V., Business Unit North America, as their authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon which process may be instituted in any State or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York by any Agent and each of the Bank and Holding expressly accept the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of such action. Such appointment shall be irrevocable unless and until a successor authorized agent, located or with an office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, shall have been appointed by the Bank and Holding and such appointment shall have been accepted by such successor authorized agent. The Bank and Holding each represent and warrant that the Authorized Agent has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Bank and Holding agree to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the Bank and Holding shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Bank and Holding.

17. Judgment Currency. The Bank and Holding, on the one hand, and the Agents severally, on the other hand, agree, to indemnify the other against loss incurred as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder or under the Notes and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such indemnified party would have been able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by it if such indemnified party had utilized such amount of Judgment Currency to purchase United States dollars as promptly as practicable upon receipt thereof. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Bank and Holding, on the

one hand, and the Agents, on the other hand, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include an allowance for any customary or reasonable premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

18. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to us the enclosed duplicate hereof, whereupon this letter and your acceptance shall represent a binding agreement among the Bank, Holding and you.

ABN NOTES

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

Explained below are the administrative procedures and specific terms of the offering from time to time of senior notes (the “Notes”), on a continuous basis by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (the “Bank”) pursuant to the U.S. Distribution Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2006 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Distribution Agreement”) between the Bank, ABN AMRO Holding N.V. as guarantor (“Holding”) and the Agents listed on the signature pages therein (collectively or individually, the “Agent”). The Notes will be issued as senior indebtedness of the Bank pursuant to the provisions of an indenture dated as of September 15, 2006 (as may be supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Indenture”) among the Bank, Holding, Citibank N.A., as securities administrator, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee.

In the Distribution Agreement, upon appointment pursuant to a Selling Agency Invitation, the Agent has agreed to use reasonable efforts to solicit purchases of the Notes, and the administrative procedures explained below will govern the issuance and settlement of any Notes sold through the Agent, as agent of the Bank. The Agent, as principal, may also purchase Notes for its own account, and if requested by the Agent, the Bank and Holding, on the one side, and the Agent, on the other side, will enter into a terms agreement (a “Terms Agreement”), as contemplated by the Distribution Agreement. The administrative procedures explained below will govern the issuance and settlement of any Notes purchased by the Agent, as principal, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Terms Agreement.

Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) will be the Registrar, Calculation Agent (with respect to Floating Rate Notes), Authenticating Agent and Paying Agent for the Notes and in each case, will perform the duties specified herein. Each Note will be represented by either (i) a Global Note and (as defined below) delivered to Citibank, as agent for The Depository Trust Bank (“DTC”), and recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC (in the case of a Note, a “Book-Entry Note” or (ii) a certificate delivered to the holder thereof or a person designated by such holder, a “Certificated Note”. Except as set forth in the Indenture, an owner

C-1

of a Book-Entry Note, as the case may be, will not be entitled to receive a Certificated Note.

Book-Entry Notes, which may be payable in either U.S. dollars or other specified currencies, will be issued in accordance with the administrative procedures set forth in Part I hereof as they may subsequently be amended as the result of changes in DTC’s operating procedures. Certificated Notes will be issued in accordance with the administrative procedures set forth in Part II hereof.

Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Indenture or any Prospectus Supplement relating to the Notes shall be used herein as therein defined.

The Bank will advise the Agent in writing of the employees of the Bank with whom the Agent is to communicate regarding offers to purchase Notes and the related settlement details.

C-2

PART I: ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR BOOK-ENTRY NOTES

In connection with the qualification of the Book-Entry Notes for eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, Citibank will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below.

Issuance:

On any date of settlement (as defined under “Settlement” below) for one or more Book-Entry Notes, the Bank will issue, in the case of the Notes, a single global Note in fully registered form without coupons (a “Global Note”) representing up to U.S. $500,000,000 principal amount of all such Notes that have the same Original Issue Date, Maturity Date and other terms. Each Global Note will be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by Citibank. Each Global Note, will bear an “Interest Accrual Date,” which will be (i) with respect to an original Global Note (or any portion thereof), its original issuance date and (ii) with respect to any Global Note (or any portion thereof) issued subsequently upon exchange of a Global Note, or in lieu of a destroyed, lost or stolen Global Note, the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the predecessor Global Note or Notes (or if no such payment or provision has been made, the original issuance date of the predecessor Global Note), regardless of the date of authentication of such subsequently issued Global Note. Book-Entry Notes may be payable in either U.S. dollars or other specified currencies. No Global Note will represent, any Certificated Note, as the case may be.

If the Pricing Supplement (as defined herein) provides for an extended offering period beyond the Original Issue Date, then on any subsequent date of settlement for Notes having the same Original Issue Date, Maturity Date and other terms as the Notes represented by such Global Note, Citibank will annotate the Global Note to indicate the change in aggregate principal amount. Upon such annotation, Citibank, by means of an instruction originated through DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, will inform DTC to reflect an increase to the aggregate principal amount of the

C-3

		Notes.

Denominations:		Book-Entry Notes will be issued in principal amounts of U.S. $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 or, if such Book-Entry Notes are issued in a currency other than U.S. dollars, principal amounts of such currency in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such currency), unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, will be denominated in principal amounts not in excess of U.S. $500,000,000. If one or more Book-Entry Notes having an aggregate principal amount in excess of U.S. $500,000,000, would, but for the preceding sentence, be represented by a single Global Note, then one Global Note will be issued to represent each U.S. $500,000,000 principal amount of such Book-Entry Note or Notes and an additional Global Note, will be issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such Book-Entry Note or Notes. In such a case, each of the Global Notes representing such Book-Entry Note or Notes shall be assigned the same CUSIP number.

Preparation of Pricing Supplement:		If any order to purchase a Book-Entry Note is accepted by or on behalf of the Bank, the Bank will prepare a pricing supplement (a “Pricing Supplement”) reflecting the terms of such Note. The Bank (i) will arrange to file an electronic format document, in the manner prescribed by the XXXXX Xxxxx Manual, of such Pricing Supplement with the Commission in accordance with the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Act, (ii) will, promptly and in any event not later than the date on which such Pricing Supplement is filed with the Commission, deliver the number of copies of such Pricing Supplement to the Agent as the Agent shall reasonably request and (iii) will, on the Agent’s behalf, promptly file five copies of such Pricing Supplement with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”). The Agent will cause such Pricing Supplement to be delivered to the purchaser of the Note. In each instance that a Pricing Supplement is

C-4

		prepared, the Agent will affix the Pricing Supplement to Prospectuses prior to their use. Outdated Pricing Supplements, and the Prospectuses to which they are attached (other than those retained for files), will be destroyed.

Settlement:		The receipt by the Bank of immediately available funds in payment for a Book-Entry Note and the authentication and issuance of the Global Note representing such Note shall constitute “settlement” with respect to such Note. All orders accepted by the Bank will be settled on the fifth Business Day pursuant to the timetable for settlement set forth below unless the Bank and the purchaser agree to settlement on another day, which shall be no earlier than the next Business Day.

Settlement Procedures:		Settlement Procedures with regard to each Book- Entry Note sold by the Bank to or through the Agent (unless otherwise specified pursuant to a Terms Agreement), shall be as follows:

A.		In the case of a Book-Entry Note, the Agent will advise the Bank by telephone that such Note is a Book-Entry Note and of the following settlement information:

	12.	Whether the Note is an Optionally Exchangeable Note, a Mandatorily Exchangeable Note, or any form of exchangeable Note.

	13.	Any other applicable provisions.

B.		The Bank will advise Citibank by telephone or electronic transmission (confirmed in writing at any time on the same date) of the information set forth in “Settlement Procedure” “A” above. The Bank will then assign a CUSIP number to the Global Note representing a Note and will notify Citibank and the Agent of such CUSIP number(s) by telephone as soon as practicable.

C.		Citibank will enter a pending deposit message through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, providing the following settlement information to DTC, the Agent and Standard & Poor’s Corporation:

		other Book-Entry Note (to the extent known at such time).

E.		DTC will credit such Note to Citibank’s participant account at DTC.

F.		Citibank will enter an SDFS deliver order through DTC’s Participant Terminal System instructing DTC to (i) debit the Note, as the case may be, to Citibank’s participant account and credit such Note to the Agent’s participant account and (ii) debit the Agent’s settlement account and credit Citibank’s settlement account for an amount equal to the price of such Note, less the Agent’s commission, if any. The entry of such a deliver order shall constitute a representation and warranty by Citibank to DTC that (a) the Global Note representing a Book-Entry Note has been issued and authenticated and (b) Citibank is holding such Global Note pursuant to the Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement between Citibank and DTC.

G.		Unless the Agent is the end purchaser of the Note, the Agent will enter an SDFS deliver order through DTC’s Participant Terminal System instructing DTC (i) to debit such Note to the Agent’s participant account and credit such Note to the participant accounts of the Participants with respect to such Note and (ii) to debit the settlement accounts of such Participants and credit the settlement account of the Agent for an amount equal to the price of such Note.

H.		Transfers of funds in accordance with SDFS deliver orders described in Settlement Procedures “F” and “G” will be settled in accordance with SDFS operating procedures in effect on the settlement date.

Unless the Agent is the end purchaser of the Note, the Agent will confirm the purchase of such Note to the purchaser either by transmitting to the Participants with respect to such Note a confirmation order or orders through DTC’s institutional delivery system or by mailing a written confirmation to such purchaser.

K.		Monthly, Citibank will make available to the Bank a statement setting forth the principal amount of Notes outstanding as of that date under the Indentures, and setting forth a brief description of any sales of which the Bank has advised Citibank that have not yet been settled.

Settlement Procedures Timetable:		For sales by the Bank of Book-Entry Notes to or through the Agent (unless otherwise specified pursuant to a Terms Agreement) for settlement on the first Business Day after the sale date, Settlement Procedures “A” through “K” set forth above shall be completed as soon as possible but not later than the respective times in New York City set forth below:

	Settlement
	Procedure	Time
	A	11:00 A.M. on the sale date
	B	11:00 A.M. on the sale date
	C	12:00 Noon on the sale date
	D	2:00 P.M. on the sale date
	E	9:00 A.M. on the settlement date
	F	10:00 A.M. on the settlement date
	G-H	2:00 P.M. on the settlement date
	I	4:45 P.M. on the settlement date
	J-K	5:00 P.M. on the settlement date

If a sale is to be settled more than one Business Day after the sale date, Settlement Procedures “A”, “B”, “C” and “D” shall be completed as soon as practicable but no later than 11:00 A.M., 11:00 A.M., 12 Noon and 2:00 P.M., respectively, on the

C-8

first Business Day after the sale date. If the Initial Interest Rate for a Floating Rate Book-Entry Note has not been determined at the time that “Settlement Procedure” “A” is completed, “Settlement Procedure” “C” and “D” shall be completed as soon as such rate has been determined but no later than 12 Noon and 2:00 P.M., respectively, on the first Business Day before the settlement date. “Settlement Procedure” “I” is subject to extension in accordance with any extension of Fedwire closing deadlines and in the other events specified in the SDFS operating procedures in effect on the settlement date.

If settlement of a Book-Entry Note is rescheduled or canceled, Citibank, after receiving notice from the Bank or the Agent, will deliver to DTC, through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, a cancellation message to such effect by no later than 2:00 P.M. on the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled settlement date.

Failure to Settle:

If Citibank fails to enter an SDFS deliver order with respect to a Book-Entry Note pursuant to “Settlement Procedure” “G”, Citibank may deliver to DTC, through DTC’s Participant Terminal System, as soon as practicable a withdrawal message instructing DTC to debit such Note to Citibank’s participant account, provided that Citibank’s participant account contains a principal amount of the Global Note representing such Note that is at least equal to the principal amount or face amount to be debited. If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to all the Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Note, Citibank will xxxx such Global Note “canceled,” make appropriate entries in Citibank’s records and send such canceled Global Note to the Bank. The CUSIP number assigned to such Global Note shall, in accordance with the procedures of the CUSIP Service Bureau of Standard & Poor’s Corporation, be canceled and not immediately reassigned. If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Note, Citibank will exchange such Global Note for two

C-9

		Global Notes one of which shall represent such Book-Entry Note or Notes and shall be canceled immediately after issuance and the other of which shall represent the remaining Book-Entry Notes previously represented by the surrendered Global Note and shall bear the CUSIP number of the surrendered Global Note. If the purchase price for any Book-Entry Note is not timely paid to the Participants with respect to such 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 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, Citibank will 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 one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Notes to have been represented by a Global Note Citibank will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedures “D” and “E”, for the authentication and issuance of a Global Note representing the Book- Entry Notes to be represented by such Global Note and will make appropriate entries in its records.

PART II:		ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR CERTIFICATED NOTES

		Citibank will serve as registrar in connection with the Certificated Notes.

Issuance:		Each Certificated Note will be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by Citibank. Each Certificated Note will bear an Original Issue Date, which will be (i) with respect to an original Certificated Note (or any portion thereof), its original issuance date (which will be the settlement date) and (ii) with respect to any Certificated Note

C-10

		(or portion thereof) issued subsequently upon transfer or exchange of a Certificated Note or in lieu of a destroyed, lost or stolen Certificated Note, the original issuance date of the predecessor Certificated Note, regardless of the date of authentication of such subsequently issued Certificated Note.

Preparation of Pricing Supplement:		If any order to purchase a Certificated Note is accepted by or on behalf of the Bank, the Bank will prepare a pricing supplement (a “Pricing Supplement”) reflecting the terms of such Note. The Bank (i) will arrange to file an electronic format document, in the manner prescribed by the XXXXX Xxxxx Manual, of such Pricing Supplement with the Commission in accordance with the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) under the Act, (ii) will, promptly and in any event not later than the date on which such Pricing Supplement is filed with the Commission, deliver the number of copies of such Pricing Supplement to the Agent as the Agent shall reasonably request and (iii) will, on the Agent’s behalf, promptly file five copies of such Pricing Supplement with the NASD. The Agent will cause such Pricing Supplement to be delivered to the purchaser of the Note. In each instance that a Pricing Supplement is prepared, the Agent will affix the Pricing Supplement to Prospectuses prior to their use. Outdated Pricing Supplements, and the Prospectuses to which they are attached (other than those retained for files), will be destroyed.

Settlement:		The receipt by the Bank of immediately available funds in exchange for an authenticated Certificated Note delivered to the Agent and the Agent’s delivery of such Note against receipt of immediately available funds shall constitute “settlement” with respect to such Note. All offers accepted by the Bank will be settled on or before the fifth Business Day next succeeding the date of acceptance pursuant to the timetable for settlement set forth below, unless the Bank and the purchaser agree to settlement on another date.

C-11

	4.	Stub Three - For the Bank.

Citibank will with respect to a Note, authenticate such Note and deliver it (with the confirmation) upon receipt of a written authentication order from the Bank and Stubs One and Two to the Agent. The Agent will acknowledge receipt of the Note by stamping or otherwise marking Stub One and returning it to Citibank. Such delivery will be made only against such acknowledgment of receipt and evidence that instructions have been given by the Agent for payment to the account of the Bank at Citibank, or to such other account as the Bank shall have specified to the Agent and Citibank in funds available for immediate use, of an amount equal to the price of such Note less the Agent’s commission, if any. In the event that the instructions given by the Agent for payment to the account of the Bank are revoked, the Bank will as promptly as possible wire transfer to the account of the Agent an amount of

C-13

		immediately available funds equal to the amount of such payment made.

E.		Unless the Agent is the end purchaser of such Note, the Agent will deliver such Note (with confirmation) to the customer against payment in immediately payable funds. The Agent will obtain the acknowledgment of receipt of such Note by retaining Stub Two.

F.		Citibank will send Stub Three to the Bank by first- class mail. Periodically, Citibank will also send to the Bank a statement setting forth, in the case of the Notes, the principal amount of the Notes outstanding as of that date under the Indenture setting forth a brief description of any sales of which the Bank has advised Citibank that have not yet been settled.

Failure to Settle:

If a purchaser fails to accept delivery of and make payment for any Certificated Note, the Agent will notify the Bank and Citibank by telephone and return such Note to Citibank. Upon receipt of such notice, the Bank will immediately wire transfer to the account of the Agent an amount equal to the amount previously credited thereto in respect to such Note. Such wire transfer will be made on the settlement date, if possible, and in any event not later than the Business Day following the settlement date. If the failure shall have occurred for any

C-14

reason other than a default by the Agent in the performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Distribution Agreement, then the Bank will reimburse the Agent or Citibank, as appropriate, on an equitable basis for its loss of the use of the funds during the period when they were credited to the account of the Bank. Immediately upon receipt of the Certificated Note in respect of which such failure occurred, Citibank will xxxx such note “canceled,” make appropriate entries in Citibank’s records and send such Note to the Bank.
