BANK. The Depositor and the Bank (each, a "Representing Party" and,

and warrant to, and agree, with the several Underwriters that:
(a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-[o]) relating to

and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act (the "Rules

stating that (i) the Class [ ] Notes have received a rating of "Prime-1"
and (ii) the Class [ ] Notes, the Class [ ] Notes and the Class [ ] Notes
have received a rating of "Aaa".
(u) The Representatives shall have received a letter from S&P
stating that (i) the Class [ ] Notes have received a rating of "A-1+" and
(ii) the Class [ ] Notes, the Class [ ] Notes and the Class [ ] Notes
have received a rating of "AAA".
(v) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement there
shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) trading in securities
generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or
the over-the-counter market shall have been suspended or limited, or
minimum prices shall have been established on either of such exchanges or
such market by the Commission, by such exchange or by any other
regulatory body or governmental authority having jurisdiction or (ii) a
general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been
declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) an outbreak or
escalation of hostilities or a declaration by the United States of a
national emergency or war or any other substantial national or
international calamity or emergency as to make it, in the reasonable
judgment of a majority in interest of the several Underwriters,
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the
delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Prospectus.
All opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned above or
elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with the
provisions hereof only if they are in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters.
7. TERMINATION. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be
terminated by the Representatives, in their absolute discretion, by notice
given to and received by the Depositor or the Bank prior to delivery of and
payment for the Notes if, prior to that time, any of the events described in
Section 6(v) shall have occurred or any of the other conditions described in
Section 6 shall not be satisfied.
8. DEFAULTING UNDERWRITERS.
(a) If any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail to purchase
and pay for any of the Notes agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter
hereunder on the Closing Date, and such failure constitutes a default in
the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the
Representatives may make arrangements for the purchase of such Notes by
other persons satisfactory to the Bank, the Depositor and the
Representatives, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such
arrangements are made
12
by the Closing Date, then each remaining non-defaulting Underwriter shall
be severally obligated to purchase the Notes which the defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing
Date in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Notes
set forth opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Underwriter
in Schedule 1 hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Notes set
forth opposite the names of all the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters
in Schedule 1 hereto; provided, however, that the remaining
non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any of the
Notes on the Closing Date if the aggregate principal amount of Notes
which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to
purchase on such date exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes to be purchased on the Closing Date, and any
remaining non-defaulting Underwriter shall not be obligated to purchase
in total more than 110% of the principal amount of the Notes which it
agreed to purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of Section
2. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded and the remaining Underwriters
or other underwriters satisfactory to the Representatives, the Bank and
the Depositor do not elect to purchase the Notes which the defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase, this Agreement
shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
Underwriter, the Bank or the Depositor, except that the Bank and the
Depositor will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the
extent set forth in Sections 9 and 13 and except that the provisions of
Sections 10 and 11 shall not terminate and shall remain in effect. As
used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes, for all purposes
of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any party not
listed in Schedule 1 hereto who, pursuant to this Section 8, purchases
Notes which a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
(b) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter
of any liability it may have for damages caused by its default. If other
underwriters are obligated or agree to purchase the Notes of a defaulting
Underwriter, either the Representatives, the Bank or the Depositor may
postpone the Closing Date for up to seven full business days in order to
effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Bank and the
Depositor or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or in any other document or
arrangement, and the Bank agrees to file promptly any amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that effects
any such changes.
9. REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS' EXPENSES. If (a) notice shall have been
given pursuant to Section 7 terminating the obligations of the Underwriters
hereunder, (b) the Depositor shall fail to tender the Notes for delivery to
the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement or (c) the
Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Notes for any reason permitted
under this Agreement, the Bank shall reimburse the Underwriters for the fees
and expenses of their counsel and for such other out-of-pocket expenses as
shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Agreement
and the proposed purchase of the Notes, and upon demand the Bank shall pay the
full amount thereof to the Representatives. If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to Section 8 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters,
the Bank shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on
account of those expenses.
13
10. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Representing Parties, jointly and severally, agree to
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who
controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act (collectively referred to for the purposes of this Section
10 and Section 11 as the Underwriter) against any loss, claim, damage or
liability, joint or several, to which that Underwriter may become
subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss,
claim, damage or liability (or any action in respect thereof) arises out
of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus supplement,
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they are made, not misleading, and shall reimburse each Underwriter for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter
directly in connection with investigating or preparing to defend or
defending against or appearing as a third party witness in connection
with any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action in respect
thereof) as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the
Representing Parties shall not be liable in any such case to the extent
that any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action in respect
thereof) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from (i) any
preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with the Underwriters' Information or (ii) any Statement of
Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) filed with the Registration
Statement; provided, further, that such indemnity with respect to any
preliminary prospectus supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto
shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person
asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the Notes
which are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person
controlling such Underwriter) if at or prior to the written confirmation
of the sale of such Notes a copy of the Prospectus (or the Prospectus as
amended or supplemented) was not sent or delivered to such person and the
untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in such
preliminary prospectus supplement was corrected in the Prospectus (or the
Prospectus as amended or supplemented) unless such failure is the result
of noncompliance by the Depositor with Section 4(a)(iv).
(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and
hold harmless each Representing Party, each of its directors, each
officer of the Depositor who signed the Registration Statement and each
person, if any, who controls a Representing Party within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively referred to solely for the
purposes of this Section 10 and Section 11 as the "Representing Party
Indemnified Parties"), against any loss, claim, damage or liability,
joint or several, to which the Representing Party Indemnified Parties may
become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
loss, claim, damage or liability (or any action in respect thereof)
arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus
supplement, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or
14
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished to
the Bank and the Representing Parties by or on behalf of such Underwriter
specifically for use therein, and shall reimburse Representing Party
Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by the Representing Party Indemnified Parties in connection with
investigating or preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as
third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage or
liability (or any action in respect thereof) as such expenses are
incurred. The parties acknowledge and agree that the written information
furnished to the Representing Parties through the Representatives by or
on behalf of the Underwriters (the "Underwriters' Information") consists
solely of the _________________________ paragraph of text under the
caption "Underwriting" in the Prospectus Supplement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 10 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that
action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying
party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under
this Section 10 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced
(through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such
failure; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may
have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 10. If any
such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and
it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it
wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the
indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or
action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified
party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof
other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, an
indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any
such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel for
the indemnified party will be at the expense of such indemnified party
unless (1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been
authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified
party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the
indemnified party) that there may be legal defenses available to it or
other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those
available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict
exists (based upon advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between
the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the
indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such
action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party
has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party to assume the defense of such action within a
reasonable time after receiving notice of the
15
commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the
indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying
party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm of
attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any one time for all such
indemnified party or parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition of
the indemnity agreements contained in Sections 10(a) and 10(b), shall use
all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the
defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written
consent, but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final
judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
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 proceedings.
The obligations of the Representing Parties and the Underwriters in this
Section 10 and in Section 11 are in addition to any other liability which the
Representing Parties or the Underwriters, as the case may be, may otherwise
have.
11. CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in Section 10 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
Section 10(a) or (b), 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
(i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Representing Parties on the one hand and the
Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Notes 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
Representing Parties 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, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Representing Parties 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
Notes purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by
the Representing Parties bear to the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Notes purchased
under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page
of the Prospectus Supplement. The relative fault 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 Representing Parties on
the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and
their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such untrue statement or omission.
16
The Representing Parties and the Underwriters agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 11 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 referred to above in this Section 11 shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations on the fees and expenses of separate
counsel set forth in Section 10, for purposes of this Section 11, any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with investigating or defending any such claim or any action in respect
thereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, no Underwriter
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which
the total price at which the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the
public were offered to the public less 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
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to
indemnify as provided in Section 10 and contribute as provided in this Section
11 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and
not joint.
12. PERSONS ENTITLED TO BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters, the Representing
Parties and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in
this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or
corporation, other than the Underwriters, the Representing Parties and their
respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors
referred to in Sections 10 and 11 and their heirs and legal representatives,
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this
Agreement or any provision contained herein.
13. EXPENSES. The Representing Parties agree with the Underwriters to pay
(a) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and
delivery of the Notes and any taxes payable in connection therewith; (b) the
costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities
Act of the Registration Statement and any amendments and exhibits thereto; (c)
the costs of distributing the Registration Statement as originally filed and
each amendment thereto and any post-effective amendments thereof (including,
in each case, exhibits), any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Prospectus
and any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, including, without
limitation, the Prospectus Supplement, all as provided in this Agreement; (d)
the costs of printing, reproducing and distributing this Agreement and any
other underwriting and selling group documents and the Term Sheet by mail,
telex or other means of communications; (e) the fees and expenses of
qualifying the Notes under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions as
provided in Section 4(g) and of preparing, printing and distributing Blue Sky
Memoranda (including related fees and expenses of counsel to the
Underwriters); (f) any fees charged by Xxxxx'x and S&P for rating the
Securities; (g) all fees and expenses of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee and their respective counsel; and (h) all other costs and expenses
incident to the performance of the obligations of the Representing Parties
under this Agreement; provided, that except as otherwise provided in this
Section 13 and in Section 9, the Underwriters shall pay their own costs and
expenses, including the costs and expenses of their counsel, any transfer
taxes on the Notes which they may sell and the expenses of advertising any
offering of the Notes made by the Underwriters.
17
14. SURVIVAL. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution,
representations, warranties and agreements of the Representing Parties and the
Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf on them,
respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the delivery of and
payment for the Notes and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of
any (i) termination or cancellation of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation
made by or on behalf of any of them or any person controlling any of them or
(iii) acceptance of and payment for the Notes.
15. NOTICES, ETC. All statements, requests, notices and agreements
hereunder shall be in writing, and:

and rely upon any request, consent, notice or agreement given or made on
behalf of the Underwriters by the Representatives.
16. DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS. For purposes of this Agreement,
"business day" means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is
open for trading.
17. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
18. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
