1. Certain Representations and Warranties by the Bank. The Bank represents and warrants to each Underwriter that:

(a) Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Bank has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in Washington, D.C., a registration statement, the Registration Number of which is set forth in Schedule I hereto, which has become effective, for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of the Securities and other securities. Such registration statement, as amended at the date of this Agreement, meets the requirements applicable to registration statements subject to Schedule B under the Act pursuant to Securities Act Releases No. 33-6240 and 33-6424 (the “Releases”), and complies in all other material respects with the Releases. The Bank will file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act a supplement to the form of prospectus included in such registration statement relating to the Securities and the plan of distribution thereof and has previously advised you of all further information (financial, statistical and other) with respect to the Bank to be set forth therein. The Bank has adequately disseminated the Basic Prospectus (as defined in Section 1(a)) to the public a reasonable period before the offering in accordance with the Releases. In addition, the Bank will file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act within the time required by such Rule a final term sheet (the “Final Term Sheet”) in the form of Schedule IV hereto, containing solely a description of the Securities and the offering thereof, and will file promptly all other material required to be filed by the Bank with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act. The Bank will not file any amendment to such registration statement or any such prospectus or any supplement to any such prospectus (including the Final Prospectus) on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of the Offering, except with the approval of the Representatives. As used in this Agreement, “Applicable Time” means the time specified in Schedule I hereto on the date of this Agreement; “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means each “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433 under the Act prepared by or on behalf of the Bank or used or referred to by the Bank, each of which is listed on Schedule III.A. hereto, including the Final Term Sheet; “Registration Statement” as used with respect to a particular issue of the Securities, means the registration statement, as amended at the time of such registration statement’s effectiveness for purposes of Section 11 of the Act as such section applies to the Bank and the Underwriters for the Securities pursuant to Rule 430C under the Act, including all exhibits, all documents then filed as a part thereof or incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein and any information contained or incorporated by reference in a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, to the extent such information is deemed, pursuant to Rule 430C under the Act, to be part of the registration statement at the effective time; “Basic Prospectus” means the prospectus in the form in which it appears in the Registration Statement; “Preliminary Final Prospectus” means a preliminary form of the Final Prospectus which shall be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act; “Final Prospectus” means the final prospectus in the form first used in connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities and in which it shall be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act; and “Pricing Disclosure Package” means, as of the Applicable Time, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet and each other Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. Any reference herein to the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents incorporated by reference therein.

(b) Accuracy of the Documents.

(i) Each part of the Registration Statement, as of the applicable effective date as to each such part of the Registration Statement, complied in all material respects with the provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. As of the date hereof, the Registration Statement complies in all material respects with the provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. At all times subsequent to the date hereof up to and including the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3), the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, will comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

(ii) The Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(iii) When the Final Prospectus is first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act and at all times subsequent thereto up to and including the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, if the Bank shall have filed with the Commission any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, will comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(iv) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if any, does not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, and each such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the Pricing Disclosure Package as of the Applicable Time, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(v) None of the representations and warranties contained in this Section 1(b) shall apply to statements in, or omissions from, the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, based upon and in conformity with information furnished as herein stated or otherwise furnished in writing to the Bank by or on behalf of any Underwriter for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) Material Changes.

(d) Issuance of the Securities. On the Closing Date, the Securities will be duly and validly authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, will constitute valid, legally binding and unconditional, direct and general obligations of the Bank in accordance with their terms; the Securities will rank pari passu with any present or future indebtedness of the Bank represented by any unsubordinated notes, bonds or other securities, except indebtedness (i) incurred for all or part of the purchase price of property purchased by the Bank and (ii) secured by any mortgage, pledge or other security interest on such property but otherwise ranking pari passu with the Securities. The Securities will conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet, any other Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus; and neither the issuance or sale of the Securities nor the taking of any other action herein contemplated will result in a breach by the Bank of any terms of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or undertaking of the Bank, the Treaty of Rome of 25th March 1957 establishing the European Economic Community and the Bank, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Treaty”) or the Statute of the Bank (the “Statute”) set forth in a Protocol annexed to the Treaty, as amended and modified.

(e) Status under the Act. The Bank was not an “ineligible issuer”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Act, at each relevant time specified in Rule 405 under the Act in connection with the offering of the Securities.

(f) Accountants. The accountants whose certificate with respect to financial statements is included in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus are independent with respect to the Bank within the meaning of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

2. Purchase and Sale.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions and upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Bank agrees to sell to you and the other Underwriters, severally and not jointly, and you and such other Underwriters, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase from the Bank, at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto, the respective principal amounts of Securities set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule II hereto.

(b) Each Underwriter covenants and agrees severally with the Bank that with respect to Securities in bearer form (if any):

(i) except to the extent permitted under U.S. Treasury Reg. § 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D) (the “D Rules”), (A) each Underwriter has not offered or sold, and during the restricted period will not offer or sell, Securities in bearer form to a person who is within the United States or its possessions or to a United States person, and (B) each Underwriter has not delivered and will not deliver within the United States or its possessions definitive Securities in bearer form that are sold during the restricted period;

(ii) each Underwriter has, and throughout the restricted period will have, in effect procedures reasonably designed to ensure that its employees or agents who are directly engaged in selling Securities in bearer form are aware that such Securities may not be offered or sold during the restricted period to a person who is within the United States or its possessions or to a United States person, except as permitted by the D Rules;

(iii) if it is a United States person, each Underwriter represents that it is acquiring the Securities in bearer form for purposes of resale in connection with their original issuance and if it retains Securities in bearer form for its own account, it will do so only in accordance with the requirements of U.S. Treasury Reg. § 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(6); and

(iv) with respect to any affiliate of an Underwriter that acquires from such Underwriter Securities in bearer form for the purpose of offering or selling such Securities during the restricted period, such Underwriter will obtain from such affiliate for its benefit and the benefit of the Bank the representations and agreements contained in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2(b).

Terms used in this Section 2(b) have the meanings given to them by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, including the D Rules. In addition, each Underwriter represents and agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates has entered or will enter into any contractual arrangement with any person other than another Underwriter or an affiliate of an Underwriter with respect to the distribution or delivery by such person of the Securities, except with the prior written consent of the Bank.

(i) Upon authorization by the Representatives of the release of the Securities, the several Underwriters propose to offer the Securities for sale upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus.

(ii) Each Underwriter severally represents and agrees with the Bank that it has not acquired, offered, sold or delivered and it will not offer, sell or deliver, directly or indirectly, any of the Securities or possess or distribute any Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any other material relating to the offering of the Securities or the Bank, in or from any jurisdiction (including the U.S.) except in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations of any such jurisdiction, including the U.S. (including, without limitation, any prospectus delivery requirements or antifraud provisions) and which will not impose any obligations on the Bank except as contained in this Agreement.

(iii) Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 1(b) and 2(b)(i) and (ii) above and except for registration under the Act and compliance with the rules and regulations thereunder and the qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate pursuant to Section 7, the Bank shall not have any responsibility for, and each Underwriter severally agrees with the Bank that each such Underwriter and its respective affiliates will obtain, any consent, approval or authorization required by them for the purchase, offer, sale or delivery by them of any of the Securities under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which they are subject or in or from which they make such purchase, offer, sale or delivery of any of the Securities.

(iv) The Underwriters acknowledge that other than the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any document incorporated by reference therein, no other material or communication that may be used in connection with the offering of the Securities (the “Non-U.S. Offering Materials”) has been filed under the Act. Accordingly, each Underwriter severally represents to and agrees with the Bank that it has not delivered or distributed and will not deliver or distribute within the United States or to any U.S. person (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the Act) any Non-U.S. Offering Materials, except as permitted by the Act.

3. Closing on the Securities. Delivery of and payment for the Securities shall be made on the date and at the time specified in Schedule I hereto, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between you, as Representatives of the Underwriters, and the Bank or as provided in Section 14 (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”). Delivery of the Securities shall be made to the office specified in Schedule I hereto for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the purchase prices thereof, to or upon the order of the Bank in the funds specified in Schedule I hereto. The Securities shall be in the form provided in Schedule I.

4. Prospectuses. The Bank has caused to be delivered to the Underwriters an electronic copy of any Preliminary Final Prospectus and has consented to the use of such copy for the purposes permitted by the Act. The Bank agrees to deliver to you, as Representatives of the Underwriters, without charge, from time to time during such period as the Final Prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Act) is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, an electronic copy of the Final Prospectus (and, in the event of any amendment or supplement to the Final Prospectus, of such amended or supplemented Final Prospectus). If, at any time during the period in which the Bank is required to deliver an electronic copy of the Final Prospectus as provided in this Section 4, any event known to the Bank shall occur as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they are made when the Final Prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Act) is delivered to a purchaser, or it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with law or with the rules and regulations of the Commission, the Bank, at its expense, will forthwith prepare and furnish to you for distribution to the Underwriters and dealers an electronic copy of an amendment or amendments or a supplement or supplements to the Final Prospectus which will so amend or supplement the Final Prospectus that as amended or supplemented it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements in the Final Prospectus not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they are made when it is delivered to a purchaser, and will comply with law and with such rules and regulations. The Bank authorizes the Underwriters, and all dealers to whom any Securities may be sold by the several Underwriters, to use the Final Prospectus, as from time to time amended or supplemented, in connection with the sale of Securities in accordance with applicable provisions of the Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder for the period during which the Bank is required to deliver an electronic copy of the Final Prospectus as provided in this Section 4.

5. Free Writing Prospectuses.

(a) Each Underwriter represents and agrees that (i) it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act without the prior consent of the Bank; provided that any Underwriter may prepare and use any “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act containing only the final terms of the Securities or their offering so long as such terms are included in the Final Term Sheet and otherwise in compliance with Rule 433 under the Act, and (ii) it will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each free writing prospectus used by it, in accordance with Rule 433 under the Act.

(b) The Bank represents and agrees that (i) it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act without the prior consent of the Representatives other than the Final Term Sheet filed by the Bank pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof and (ii) it has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission, retention where required and legending. The Bank further agrees that if at any time following the issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and prior to the expiration of the period in which the Bank is required to deliver an electronic copy of the Final Prospectus as provided in Section 4, any event known to the Bank shall occur as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would contain any 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 then prevailing, not misleading, the Bank will give prompt notice thereof to the Representatives and, if requested by the Representatives, will prepare and furnish without charge to the Representatives for distribution to the Underwriters an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document which will correct such statement or omission; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not apply to any statements or omissions in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made based upon and in conformity with information furnished as herein stated or otherwise furnished in writing to the Bank by or on behalf of any Underwriter for use in connection with the preparation of such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) Any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including the Final Term Sheet) and such other “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act the use of which has been consented to as required pursuant to this Section 5 is listed on Schedules III.A. and III.B. hereto, respectively.

6. Commission Proceedings as to Registration Statement. The Bank agrees promptly to advise you, as Representatives of the Underwriters, (a) when the Final Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, (b) when any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed and/or become effective or any subsequent supplement to the Final Prospectus has been filed, (c) when any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, (d) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or amendment of or supplement to the Final Prospectus or for additional information and (e) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspending or preventing the use of the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or of the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. The Bank will use every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of such a stop order and, if any such order shall at any time be issued, to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.

7. Qualification and Listing. The Bank will use its commercially reasonable efforts, when and as requested by you, to qualify the Securities or such portion thereof as you may request for offer and sale under the securities laws of any jurisdictions which you shall reasonably designate; provided, however, that the Bank shall not be obligated to take any action in connection with such qualification that would subject it to taxation or to service of process generally or require it to qualify as a dealer in securities or to do business in any jurisdiction where the Bank would not otherwise be so subject or required to qualify. The Bank will make application for and use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure and maintain the listing of the Securities on the securities exchange or exchanges named in Schedule I and, if required, their registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

8. Statement of Profit and Loss. The Bank agrees (a) to make generally available to its security holders a statement, in the English language, of profit and loss of the Bank for the twelve-month period beginning at the end of the fiscal year which ends after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Act) as soon as practicable after the date thereof which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and (b) to advise you that such statement has been so made available.

9. Expenses. Unless otherwise agreed to by you, as Representatives of the Underwriters, and the Bank, the Bank agrees to pay all expenses in connection with (a) the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement (including all exhibits to the Registration Statement) and any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and the furnishing of an electronic copy of each to the Underwriters, (b) the printing of this Agreement and the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the fees and expenses of the Fiscal Agent thereunder, (c) the fees paid to rating agencies for rating the Securities and (d) the fees and expenses in connection with qualifying, listing and registering the Securities as provided in Section 7. It is understood that (except as provided in Sections 11(a), 11(c) and 16(d)) the Underwriters will pay their own costs and expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) and their out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and the advertising and other expenses connected with the public offering of the Securities; and the Bank agrees that on the Closing Date it will pay to you, for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, up to the amount specified in Schedule I hereto toward reimbursement in part of such costs and expenses of the Underwriters.

10. Further Information. While any of the Securities are outstanding, the Bank will deliver to you copies of all reports and financial statements furnished to any national securities exchange in the United States pursuant to requirements of, or agreements with, any such exchange and to the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or any rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

11. Indemnities.

(a) By the Bank. The Bank agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act or any other statute or common law or otherwise, and to reimburse the Underwriters for any legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating any claims and defending any actions, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereto, or in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any "issuer information" filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or (in the case of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto) necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (in the case of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any "issuer information" filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act) necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11(a) shall not apply to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arising out of, or based upon, any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any such omission or alleged omission, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished as herein stated or in writing to the Bank by or on behalf of any Underwriter for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act.

(b) By the Underwriters. Each Underwriter severally but not jointly and in respect of its own statements agrees, in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 11(a), to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank, all the Directors of the Bank, its duly authorized representative in the United States and the officials of the Bank who shall have signed the Registration Statement with respect to any statement in or omission from the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, or in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished as herein stated or otherwise furnished in writing to the Bank by or on behalf of such Underwriter for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) General. Each indemnified party will, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from an indemnifying party on account of an indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof. The omission of any indemnified party so to notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party on account of the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11, and in addition shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to such indemnified party. Except as provided below, in case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 11 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Such indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party) and, in any case where the indemnified party is an Underwriter, such counsel has been retained by you as Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, or (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have assumed the defense of such action and employed counsel therefor satisfactory to such indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of such action, in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 shall for any reason be unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 11(a) or 11(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Bank on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Bank bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to such offering, in either case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the 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 Bank or the Underwriters, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Bank and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 11(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 11(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 11(d), 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 11(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any 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 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 11(d) are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations as set forth in Schedule II and not joint.

(e) Survival. The respective indemnity and contribution agreements of the Bank and the Underwriters contained in this Section 11 and the representations and warranties of the Bank set forth in Section 1, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Bank or any such Director, representative or official, and shall survive the delivery of the Securities, and any successor of any Underwriter or of the Bank or of any such Director, representative or official, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefit of the respective indemnity and contribution agreements.

12. Conditions to Underwriters’ Obligations. The several obligations of the Underwriters hereunder are subject to the accuracy of and compliance with the representations and warranties of the Bank contained in Section 1 as of the date hereof and the Closing Date (and the Bank shall be deemed expressly to have represented and warranted as of the Closing Date that the representations and warranties contained in Section 1 are true and correct and that it has complied with such representations and warranties), and to the following further conditions:

(a) Filings; No Stop Order.

Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Bank in writing, or by cable or telephone confirmed in writing.

14. Substitution of Underwriters. If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse on the Closing Date to purchase and pay for the respective Securities which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder and if the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 20% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall become obligated severally to purchase and pay for (in addition to the principal amounts of the Securities to be delivered to them on the Closing Date) the aggregate respective principal amounts of such Securities which all such defaulting Underwriters had agreed to purchase. Such principal amount of such Securities shall be purchased by such non-defaulting Underwriters in the respective proportions which the aggregate principal amount of Securities set opposite the name of each non-defaulting Underwriter in Schedule II bears to the aggregate principal amount of such Securities so set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters. If the principal amount of such Securities which all Underwriters so defaulting shall have agreed but failed to purchase exceeds 20% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto either you, as the Representatives or the Bank shall have the right within 48 hours thereafter to procure one or more of the other Underwriters or any other purchasers acceptable to both you and the Bank to purchase from the Bank, in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth, all the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters so agreed to purchase; provided, however, that in making such arrangements to purchase all such Securities, either you or the Bank, as the case may be, may request the non-defaulting Underwriters and the non-defaulting Underwriters shall thereupon become obligated severally to purchase and pay for (in addition to the other Securities which they are obligated to purchase hereunder or pursuant to the arrangements made hereunder) principal amounts of Securities not in excess of 20% of the respective aggregate principal amounts of Securities set opposite the names of such non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule II and in the respective proportions which such amounts in Schedule II bear to the aggregate principal amount of such Securities so set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters. If during such 48 hours neither you, as the Representatives, nor the Bank shall have made such arrangements for the purchase of the Securities agreed to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or of the Bank. In the event of a default by any Underwriter or Underwriters as set forth in this Section 14, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven calendar days, as you, as the Representatives, and the Bank shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and in the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this Section 14 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

15. Information Furnished by Underwriters. Certain statements set forth in the Final Prospectus on the cover page and under the caption “Underwriters” which relate to the terms of the offering of the Securities and to the Underwriters constitute information furnished in writing by you, on behalf of the several Underwriters, for inclusion therein, and you, as the Representatives, confirm that such statements are correct.

16. Miscellaneous.

(a) Except as in this Agreement otherwise provided, (i) whenever notice is required by the provisions of this Agreement to be given to the Bank, such notice shall be in writing, or by cable confirmed in writing, addressed to the President of the Bank, 000, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, L—2950 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and (ii) whenever notice is required by the provisions of this Agreement to be given to you, as the Representatives, such notice shall be in writing, or by cable or telephone confirmed in writing, addressed to you at the address set forth in Schedule I hereto.

(b) The Bank agrees to furnish to each of you, without charge, an electronic copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including all financial statements and exhibits thereto, and to furnish to each of the other Underwriters, without charge, an electronic copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including such financial statements but without exhibits.

(c) This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the several Underwriters and the Bank and their respective successors and assigns and (to the extent provided in Section 11) any controlling person referred to in Section 11 and all the Directors of the Bank, its duly authorized representative in the United States and the officials of the Bank who shall have signed the Registration Statement, and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. The term “successor” or the term “successors and assigns” as used in this Agreement shall not include any purchaser of any Securities, as such purchaser, from any of the Underwriters.

(d) If this Agreement shall be canceled or terminated by the Underwriters on any of the grounds referred to or specified in Section 13, or because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Bank to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Bank will reimburse the Underwriters severally for all their out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by them.

(e) Section headings have been inserted in this Agreement as a matter of convenience or reference only and it is agreed that such section headings are not a part of this Agreement and will not be used in the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

(f) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except with respect to its authorization and execution by the Bank, which shall be governed by the Treaty and the Statute.

17. Consent to Service of Process.

(a) The Bank hereby appoints the Fiscal Agent under the Fiscal Agency Agreement as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any action arising out of or based upon this Agreement which may be instituted in any State or Federal court in New York City by any Underwriter and expressly accepts the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of such action. Such appointment shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Securities remain outstanding unless and until the appointment of a successor Fiscal Agent as the Bank’s Authorized Agent and such successor Fiscal Agent’s acceptance of such appointment. The Bank will take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment or appointments in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of such service to the Bank (mailed or delivered to the President at the seat of the Bank) shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Bank.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action arising out of or based upon this Agreement may be instituted by any Underwriter in any competent court of the jurisdiction in which the Bank has its seat.

(c) The Bank hereby waives irrevocably (to the extent permitted by law) any immunity from jurisdiction or execution to which it or its property might otherwise be entitled in any action arising out of or based upon this Agreement which may be instituted by any Underwriter in any State or Federal court in New York City or in any competent court of the jurisdiction in which the Bank has its seat. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the property and assets of the Bank within the Member States are not subject to attachment or to seizure by way of execution without the authorization of the Court of Justice of the European Communities.

Please confirm that you are acting on behalf of yourselves and the other several Underwriters and that the foregoing correctly sets forth the agreement between the Bank and the several Underwriters.

Very truly yours,
