UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note   1.  Principles of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The foregoing financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included.

The accounting policies followed by Union Planters Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, Union Planters or the Company) for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting except as noted below. The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Appendix C of Union Planters Corporation's Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Shareholders' Meeting held April 18, 2002 (the Definitive Proxy Statement including the 2001 Annual Financial Disclosures are referred to as the Proxy and Annual Financial Disclosures). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2002 financial reporting presentation.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which changes the required accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supercedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in the financial statements upon their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets in the following significant respects:

  • Acquiring entities integrate acquired entities into their operations; thus, the acquirers' expectations of benefits from the resulting synergies usually are reflected in the premium that they pay to acquire those entities. APB No. 17 treated the acquired entity as if it remained a stand-alone entity rather than being integrated with the acquiring entity. SFAS No. 142 adopts a view of goodwill that bases the accounting for goodwill on the units of the combined entity into which the acquired entity is integrated.
  • APB Opinion No. 17 presumed that goodwill and other intangible assets were wasting assets and were amortized over an estimated life. SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite lives to not be amortized but rather to be tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives, but without the constraint of an arbitrary ceiling.
  • SFAS No. 142 provides specific guidance for testing goodwill for impairment.
  • SFAS No. 142 provides specific guidance on testing intangible assets that will not be amortized for impairment and thus removes those assets from the scope of other impairment guidance. Intangible assets that are not amortized will be tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value of those assets with their recorded amount.
  • SFAS No. 142 requires disclosure about changes in the carrying amount of goodwill from period to period (in the aggregate and by reportable segment), the carrying amount of intangible assets by major intangible asset class for those subject to amortization and for those not subject to amortization and the estimated asset amortization for the next five years.

In October 2001, the FASB issued interpretive guidance for SFAS No. 142 affirming that intangible assets acquired through the purchase of branches will continue to be amortized. This will result in the continued amortization of certain unidentified intangibles included in goodwill associated with branch purchases. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, this amortization expense was $3.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively. The FASB has undertaken a project to review this issue during 2002.

Union Planters adopted this standard on January 1, 2002. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, the net impact on the consolidated statement of earnings was an increase in net income of $8.0 million and $16.1 million, respectively. See Note 12 for further discussion.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a business and amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements." Significant changes in accounting include:

  • Establishment of a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.
  • Goodwill is no longer included in the scope of this guidance.
  • Long-lived assets to be abandoned are now required to have depreciable lives that are in accordance with APB Opinion 20, "Accounting Changes."
  • Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are required to be measured at the lower of book value or the fair value, less the cost to sell.
  • Losses related to discontinued operations are no longer reported until they have been incurred.

The provisions of this standard are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Union Planters adopted this standard on January 1, 2002. The adoption had an immaterial impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Note   2.  Acquisitions

On February 12, 2001, Union Planters acquired Jefferson Savings Bancorp, Inc. (Jefferson Savings) of Ballwin, Missouri, the parent of Jefferson Heritage Bank, a federal savings bank. Jefferson Savings had total assets of $1.6 billion, total loans of $1.3 billion and total deposits of $877 million at acquisition. Union Planters exchanged approximately 6.6 million shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding shares of Jefferson Savings. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Goodwill and other intangibles resulting from the acquisition were $46.5 million.

Union Planters previously announced its intent to purchase common shares up to the number of shares issued in the transaction, and at June 30, 2002, all shares had been purchased and retired.

Note   6.  Borrowings

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings include short-term FHLB advances, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings. Short-term FHLB advances are borrowings from the FHLB, which are collateralized by mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans. Federal funds purchased arise from Union Planters' market activity with its correspondent banks and generally mature in one business day. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are collateralized by U.S. Government and agency securities.

Short-term borrowings are summarized as follows:

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Certain of Union Planters' banking and thrift subsidiaries had outstanding advances with original maturity dates of greater than one year from the FHLB under Blanket Agreements for Advances and Security Agreements (the Agreements). The Agreements enable these subsidiaries to borrow funds from the FHLB to fund mortgage loan programs and to satisfy certain other funding needs. The value of the mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans pledged under the Agreements must be maintained at not less than 115% and 150%, respectively, of the outstanding advances. At June 30, 2002, Union Planters had an adequate amount of mortgage-backed securities and loans to satisfy the collateral requirements. A summary of the advances is as follows:

Note   9.  Income Taxes

Applicable income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $113.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 30.94%. Applicable income taxes for the same period in 2001 were $110.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.92%. The decrease in the effective rate in 2002, as compared to 2001, is due to the change in the mix of taxable and nontaxable revenues and the change in accounting treatment for goodwill. Additionally other tax strategies were also initiated that are designed to enhance the Company's ability to raise Tier I capital and also have the added benefit of reducing both federal and state tax expense. The tax expense applicable to investment securities gains for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $4.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2002, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of $54.1 million compared to $67.4 million at December 31, 2001. The net deferred tax asset includes a deferred tax liability related to the net unrealized gain on available for sale securities of $50.8 million and $31.8 million, respectively. Based upon historical earnings and anticipated future earnings, management believes that normal operations will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize in full these deferred tax benefits. Therefore, no extraordinary strategies are deemed necessary by management to generate sufficient taxable income for purposes of realizing the net deferred tax asset.

Note 11.  Mortgage Loan Servicing

Union Planters acted as servicing agent for residential mortgage loans totaling approximately $18.6 billion at June 30, 2002, compared to $16.2 billion at December 31, 2001. The loans serviced for others are not included in Union Planters' consolidated balance sheet. The following table presents a reconciliation of the changes in mortgage servicing rights:

Union Planters had a valuation allowance of $11.9 million associated with the mortgage servicing rights portfolio at June 30, 2002 compared to $15.1 million as of December 31, 2001. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights at June 30, 2002 was $208.6 million. Significant assumptions utilized in determining the fair value were as follows:

Dealer consensus prepayment speeds

19.2% CPR

Market discount rates

9.6%        

Both of the significant assumptions above directly relate to and move in concert with mortgage interest rates. In the view of management, in order to understand the hypothetical effect on the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights as a result of unfavorable variations in the significant assumptions, it is necessary to measure the effect that would result from a decline in mortgage interest rates. At June 30, 2002, the reduction in the current fair value of mortgage servicing rights resulting from an immediate 50 and 100 basis point decline in mortgage interest rates would be approximately $59.0 million and $99.3 million, respectively.

Note 12.  Intangible Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, most goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. The carrying value of goodwill not subject to amortization was $529.3 million at June 30, 2002 of which $50.7 million was in the "other operating units" line of business, with the remainder in the "banking" line of business. During the second quarter of 2002, Union Planters finalized its evaluation of goodwill for impairment using a discounted cash flow method. There was no impairment. Had SFAS No. 142 been implemented prior to 2001, net income for the second quarter and first six months of 2001 would have increased $8.0 million and $16.1 million, respectively. Both basic and diluted earnings per share would have increased $ .04 for the quarter and $.08 for the first six months.

Union Planters' other intangible assets are core deposit intangibles acquired through bank acquisitions and are subject to amortization periods up to 15 years with no residual value. The gross amount of other intangible assets at June 30, 2002 was $232.0 million, with accumulated amortization of $56.3 million. All other intangibles are in the "banking" line of business. The weighted average amortization period is 159.9 months. Amortization expense over the next five years on current other intangibles is expected to be:

Parent company noninterest income and earnings before income taxes are net of the intercompany dividend eliminations of $170.7 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $241.2 million and $105.5 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

Note 14.  Contingent Liabilities

Union Planters and/or its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and are parties to various pending civil actions, all of which are being defended vigorously. Certain proceedings previously outstanding have been subsequently settled within previously estimated amounts. While it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any legal proceeding, based upon present information including evaluations by outside counsel, management is of the opinion that neither Union Planters' financial position, results of operations nor liquidity will be materially affected by the ultimate resolution of pending or threatened legal proceedings. Reference is made to Part II Item 1 for a discussion of legal proceedings.

Note 15.  Subsequent Event

Subsequent to June 30, 2002, Union Planters purchased and retired 3.0 million shares of its common stock. This brings the total number of shares purchased under the Board of Directors' authorization of 10.7 million shares to 7.0 million.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following provides a narrative discussion and analysis of significant changes in Union Planters' results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Appendix C of Union Planters Corporation's Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Shareholders' Meeting held April 18, 2002 (the Definitive Proxy Statement including the 2001 Annual Financial Disclosures are referred to as the Proxy and Annual Financial Disclosures), the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 included in Part I hereof and the supplemental financial data included in this discussion.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These statements are contained in certain sections that follow, such as Net Interest Income, Provision for Losses on Loans, Noninterest Income, Noninterest Expense, Loans, Interest Rate Risk, as well as Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical information, but rather are related to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. The words "anticipate," "project," "expect," "believe," "intend," "estimate," "should," "is likely" and other expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations as well as certain assumptions and estimates made by, and information available to, management at the time the statements are made. Examples of factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations include the following: the timing and amount of interest rate movements (which can have a significant impact on a financial institution); effects of changes in general economic conditions, as well as economic conditions in markets in which Union Planters conducts business; market and monetary fluctuations and uncertainties in the financial markets; inflation; competition within and outside the financial services industry; technology; risks inherent in originating loans, including prepayment risks, fluctuations in collateral values and changes in customer profiles; loan loss experience, the rate of loan charge-offs and the level of the provision for losses on loans; and changes in accounting principles. Additionally, the policies of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve), and insurance and securities regulatory agencies, unanticipated regulatory and judicial proceedings, unanticipated results in pending litigation or Internal Revenue Service examinations, changes in the laws, regulations and regulatory policies applicable to Union Planters and its subsidiaries, and Union Planters' success in executing its business plans and strategies and managing the risks involved in the foregoing, could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Union Planters assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements that are made from time to time.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Union Planters and its subsidiaries conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Union Planters considers its critical accounting policies to include the following:

Allowance for Losses on Loans. The allowance for losses on loans represents management's best estimate of losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans is increased by the provision for losses on loans charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. The provision for losses on loans is determined based on management's assessment of several factors: reviews and evaluations of specific loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current and anticipated economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss experience, the level of classified and nonperforming loans and the results of regulatory examinations.

Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that Union Planters will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate stipulated in the loan agreement, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. In measuring the fair value of the collateral, management uses assumptions (e.g., discount rates) and methodologies (e.g., comparison to the recent selling price of similar assets) consistent with those that would be utilized by unrelated third parties.

Changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, in economic conditions, in historical loss experience and in the conditions of the various markets in which collateral may be sold may all affect the required level of the allowance for losses on loans and the associated provision for loan losses.

Estimation of Fair Value. The estimation of fair value is significant to a number of Union Planters' assets, including trading account assets, loans held for resale, available for sale investment securities, mortgage servicing rights, goodwill, other real estate owned, as well as, assets and liabilities associated with derivative financial instruments. These are all recorded at either fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value. Furthermore, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments as a part of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Fair values are volatile and may be influenced by a number of factors, including market interest rates, prepayment speeds, discount rates and the shape of yield curves.

Fair values for trading account assets and most available for sale investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on the quoted prices of similar instruments. The fair values of loans held for resale are based on anticipated liquidation values, while the fair values of mortgage servicing rights are based on discounted cash flow analysis utilizing dealer consensus prepayment speeds and market discount rates. The fair values of residual interests in loans securitized or sold (included as part of available for sale investment securities) are estimated based on prepayment speeds, weighted-average life, expected credit losses and an assumed discount rate. The fair values of other real estate owned are typically determined based on appraisals by third parties, less estimated costs to sell. The fair values of derivative financial instruments are estimated based on current market quotes. Fair valu es of goodwill are estimated using the present value of discounted cash flows method. Cash flows are estimated by weighting the probability of several possible trends.

SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS OVERVIEW

For the second quarter of 2002, Union Planters reported net earnings of $127.6 million, or $.62 per diluted common share, an increase from $109.3 million, or $.53 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2001. These earnings represented annualized returns on average assets and average common equity of 1.59% and 16.08%, respectively, compared to 1.26% and 14.28%, respectively, for the same period in 2001.

EARNINGS ANALYSIS

Net Interest Income

Tax-equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2002 was $325.9 million, an increase of $1.2 million over the same quarter last year and a $2.4 million decrease from the first quarter of 2002.

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2002 was 4.45%, which compares to 4.11% and 4.53%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2001 and first quarter of 2002. The net interest rate spread was 3.96% for the second quarter of 2002, an increase from 3.42% for the second quarter of 2001, and down from 4.02% for the first quarter of 2002.

Changes in net interest income and net interest margin are the result of repositioning the balance sheet, which was largely completed during the first quarter of 2002. Reference is made to Union Planters' average balance sheet, analysis of volume and rate changes and Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management section, which follow this discussion, for additional information regarding the changes in net interest income and balance sheet repositioning initiatives.

Taxable-equivalent interest income decreased $138.8 million for the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This decline was attributable primarily to a decrease in the average yield on earning assets from 7.89% to 6.61%, which reduced interest income by $95.9 million. The decline in yield is attributable primarily to the decreasing interest rate trend. A $2.3 billion decrease in average earning assets, primarily loans, decreased interest income $43.0 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2002, interest income decreased $11.7 million, which was attributable to a decline in the average yield on earning assets.

For the first half of 2002, interest income decreased $297.4 million compared to the same period last year. The decrease was driven by a decrease in the average yield on earning assets from 8.10% to 6.73%, or a $207.3 million decrease in interest income. Average earning assets, primarily investment securities and loans, decreased $2.5 billion, which decreased interest income $93.0 million.

The decline in average yields on earning assets during the second quarter of 2002 is a result of a lower interest rate environment. While the average yields on earning assets declined, average rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities also decreased, and overall net interest income improved. Reference is made to the Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management discussions for additional information regarding balance sheet management initiatives, changes in interest rates and how the Company is positioned to respond to the changes.

The percentage of loans to total earning assets has increased over the prior year. This change in mix is due to an effort by management to reposition the balance sheet and make more effective use of assets. In this effort, Union Planters has sold selected investment securities and sold or reduced portfolios of low return loan products.

Interest expense decreased $140.0 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same quarter last year. This decrease was driven by a decrease in the average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities from 4.47% to 2.65%, which resulted from the decreasing interest rate environment. This reduction in rates paid decreased interest expense $108.7 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities also decreased $2.8 billion, which decreased interest expense an additional $31.4 million. Compared to the first quarter of 2002, interest expense decreased $9.3 million due primarily to the decline in interest rates. The average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 2.83% to 2.65%, which reduced interest expense $9.8 million.

For the first half of 2002, interest expense decreased $309.6 million. The decrease was driven by a decrease in the average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities from 4.72% to 2.74%, which contributed $239.0 million to the reduced expense. A $3.1 billion decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities also contributed a $70.6 million decrease to interest expense. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities related primarily to short-term debt.

Over the first half of the year, management has established initiatives to reposition the balance sheet to make the most effective use of assets and capital. In this effort, Union Planters has grown core deposits, reduced reliance on wholesale funding, refinanced long-term debt, focused on pricing of relationships and reduced interest rate risk. The reduction in average rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities is attributable to these management initiatives and the lower interest rate environment. Reference is made to the Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management section for a discussion of the impact of changing interest rates.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The provision for losses on loans for the second quarter of 2002 was $44.9 million, or .78% of average loans on an annualized basis. This compares to $28.9 million, or .48% of average loans, for the second quarter of 2001. The higher provision for losses on loans in the first and second quarters of 2002 is attributable to current economic conditions and the resulting increase in nonperforming loans. Reference is made to the Allowance for Losses on Loans and Nonperforming Loans discussions for additional information regarding loan charge-offs and other items impacting the provision for losses on loans.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2002 was $182.6 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or 4.1%, from the first quarter of 2002 and a decrease of $4.5 million, or 2.4%, from the second quarter of 2001. Adjusted for significant items, noninterest income as a percentage of total revenues was 35% in the second quarter of 2002, compared to 36% for the same quarter last year and 34% for the first quarter of 2002.

Excluding these items, noninterest income was $170.2 million for the current quarter, an increase of $5.6 million from the first quarter of this year and a decrease of $7.4 million from the same quarter last year. Noninterest income for the first six months was $334.7 million, a decrease of $7.8 million from the same period last year.

Growth in noninterest income continues to be one of management's priorities, and as such, considerable effort has been spent improving its sources. In that effort, Union Planters has, among other things, implemented controls around the administration of pricing. The major components of noninterest income are presented on the consolidated statement of earnings; following is a discussion of the key components:

Service charges on deposit accounts. These fees were $56.6 million for the second quarter of 2002, a slight increase compared to the same period in 2001 and an increase of $4.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2002. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2002 is attributable to a significant increase in the volume of checks written on accounts with insufficient funds. For the first half of 2002, these fees decreased slightly from the first half of 2001 to $108.9 million.

Mortgage banking revenues. These revenues decreased slightly in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, and decreased $4.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2002. For the first half of 2002, mortgage banking revenues increased $7.1 million, or 8.1%, to $94.5 million compared to the same period last year. The lower interest rate environment during the first half of 2002 increased mortgage loan production and the level of mortgage refinancing activity and resulted in increased mortgage origination fees and gains on mortgage loans sold to the secondary market.

Merchant services income. In the fourth quarter of 2001, Union Planters sold this nonstrategic business and entered into a long-term marketing agreement with the buyer. The terms of the sale included certain obligations, which expired during the second quarter resulting in the recognition of $8.9 million of income. Income excluding the aforementioned $8.9 million was $.7 million compared to $11.3 million for the second quarter of last year and $.8 million for the first quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, these revenues, excluding the aforementioned $8.9 million, were $1.5 million and $21.0 million, respectively.

Factoring commissions and fees. Commissions and fees earned by Capital Factors, a subsidiary of Union Planters, were $10.5 million for the second quarter of 2002, an increase of 16.9% from the first quarter of 2002 and 6.3% from the second quarter of last year. These increases are related to an increased volume of factored receivables. For the first half of 2002, these revenues were $19.6 million compared to $19.1 million for the same period last year.

Insurance and investments. This category of noninterest income is comprised of insurance commissions, annuity sales commissions and brokerage fee income. For the second quarter of 2002, these revenues were $14.8 million, an increase of $2.5 million from the first quarter of 2002 and $2.8 million from the second quarter of 2001. For the first half of 2002, insurance and investments revenues were $27.0 million compared to $23.7 million for the same period in 2001. The increase during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 is primarily due to a substantial increase in annuity sales.

Other noninterest income. The components of other noninterest income are presented in Note 8 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

  • Net revenues for Strategic Outsourcing Inc. (SOI), a subsidiary of Union Planters, were $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2002, an increase of $1.2 million compared to the same period in 2001 and $1.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2002, net revenues were $12.7 million compared to $12.1 million for the same period in 2001. The increases are principally related to an increase in the pricing structure for SOI's services.
  • Fees for the usage of debit/ATM cards were $10.1 million for the current quarter compared to $8.0 million for both the first quarter of 2002 and the same quarter last year. Fees for the first six months were $18.1 for 2002 compared to $15.0 million for the same period of last year. This increase is due to the more consistent administration of pricing for bankcard products and services in the fourth quarter of 2001, as well as an increase in debit card transaction volume since the second quarter of 2001.
  • Revenues associated with other real estate were $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2002, an increase of $1.3 million over the same period last year. Revenues for the first six months of 2002 were $4.8 million compared to $2.2 million for the same period last year. The increase is attributable to the corresponding increase in other real estate.
  • Revenues from Union Planters' Small Business Administration trading operations were $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2002, a decrease of $.9 million from the second quarter of 2001 and a slight decrease from the first quarter of 2002. For the first half of 2002, these revenues decreased $2.3 million over the same period in 2001. Both decreases are attributable to decreased trading volume.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2002 was $272.3 million, which compares to $309.0 million for the second quarter of 2001 and $268.1 million for the first quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2002, noninterest expense was $540.4 million compared to $598.7 million for the same period in 2001. The Company's efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2002, excluding significant items and the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles, was 50.7%, compared to 50.9% for the first quarter of 2002 and 55.7% for the second quarter of 2001.

Excluding these items, noninterest expense was $259.4 million for the current quarter, a decrease of $36.6 million compared to the same quarter last year and a slight decrease from the first quarter of 2002. Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2002 was $517.6 million, a decrease of $57.8 million compared to the same period last year.

UPExcel, a comprehensive strategic initiative introduced by management last year, has driven the reduction of noninterest expense by reducing the number of banking centers, streamlining back office operations and improving procurement practices.

The major components of noninterest expense are presented on the consolidated statement of earnings; following, is a discussion of the key components:

Salaries and employee benefits. These expenses were $128.6 million for the second quarter of 2002, a decrease of $4.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2001 and $3.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2002. For the first half of 2002, salaries and employee benefits decreased $4.5 million compared to the same period last year. The reduction is primarily due to the reduction in full-time equivalent employees. At June 30, 2002, Union Planters had 11,313 full-time equivalent employees, compared to 12,358 and 11,608, respectively, at June 30, 2001 and March 31, 2002.

Occupancy and equipment expense. Net occupancy and equipment expense was $45.6 million for the second quarter of 2002, a decrease of $2.9 million from the second quarter of 2001 and down slightly from the first quarter of 2002. For the first half of 2002, these expenses were $91.7 million, a decrease of $4.6 million compared to the same period in 2001. The decreases are primarily attributable to better control over spending, renegotiated contracts with vendors of bank and facilities equipment and services, as well as a decrease in the number of banking locations since June 2001.

Goodwill and other intangibles amortization. These expenses decreased $8.6 million from the second quarter of 2001 and were relatively unchanged compared to the first quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, these expenses were $15.5 million compared to $32.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease is due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which discontinued the amortization of goodwill for most acquisitions. Refer to Notes 1 and 12 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for more information.

Mortgage intangibles expense. For the second quarter of 2002, these expenses were $12.3 million, an increase of $8.2 million compared to the same period in 2001 and $8.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2002. For the first half of 2002, these expenses increased $2.2 million compared to the same period in 2001. The increases relate to the higher level of mortgage refinancing activity in the lower interest rate environment since the first half of 2001. Increased prepayments during the second quarter of 2002, which accelerated the amortization of mortgage servicing rights, resulted in an impairment charge of $2.0 million.

Other noninterest expenses. The components of other noninterest expense are presented in Note 8 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

  • UPExcel project expenses were $1.3 million compared to $8.0 million for the same quarter last year and $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2002. Project expenses for the first six months of 2002 were $5.2 million compared to $8.0 million for the same period last year. The decreases are due to the substantial completion of most projects under the initiative.
  • For the second quarter and first half of 2002, miscellaneous charge-offs decreased $2.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively, compared to 2001. Compared to the first quarter of 2002, miscellaneous charge-offs increased $1.6 million. The decreases compared to the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 are attributable a lower volume of charge-off items in 2002. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2002 is attributable to an increased volume of charge-off items.
  • Provisions for losses on FHA/VA foreclosure claims decreased $2.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Compared to the first quarter of 2002 there was a slight increase. The decreases are principally due to the runoff of the portfolio.
  • Merchant services expense decreased $6.3 million and $13.1 million for the second quarter and first half of 2002 compared with 2001 due to the sale of this nonstrategic business in the fourth quarter of 2001. The decrease in the second quarter was also due in part to the reversal of a previously established reserve of $647,000 for potential claims, which was no longer needed.
  • Advertising and promotion expense for the second quarter of 2002 decreased $3.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2001, and decreased $1.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2002. For the first half of 2002, advertising and promotion expenses decreased $2.3 million compared to the same period in 2001. The decreases compared to the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 are attributable to centralization within the Company of marketing activities, which resulted in more focused advertising and promotions at lower costs. The decrease compared to the first quarter of 2002 is due to a number of new product promotions during the first quarter that were not repeated in the second quarter.
  • Postage and carrier expense decreased $1.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for the second quarter and first half of 2002 compared with 2001. The decrease compared to the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 is due to more favorable terms negotiated with carrier services, as well as branch sales occurring since the second quarter of 2001. Compared to the first quarter of 2002 there was a slight decrease.
  • Credit-related expenses (expenses related to origination of loan products) increased $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001 and slightly over the first quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2002, these expenses increased $10.9 million compared to the same period in 2001. The increase is attributable to the increase in loan production, primarily mortgage loans.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Union Planters' total assets were $32.4 billion at June 30, 2002 compared to $34.5 billion at June 30, 2001 and $33.2 billion at December 31, 2001. Average assets were $32.2 billion for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $34.7 billion for the second quarter of 2001.

Earning assets at June 30, 2002 were $29.7 billion compared to $30.1 billion at December 31, 2001 and $31.5 billion at June 30, 2001. Average earning assets were $29.4 billion for the second quarter of 2002, which compares to $31.7 billion for the same period last year and to $29.4 billion for the first quarter of 2002.

Investment Securities

Union Planters' investment securities portfolio of $4.9 billion at June 30, 2002 consisted entirely of available for sale securities, which are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. This compares to investment securities of $5.3 billion and $4.8 billion at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The decrease in investment securities from June 30, 2001 is consistent with management's strategy of reducing the proportion of investment securities to total earning assets. During the first half of 2002, Union Planters sold $365.2 million of investment securities at a gain of $12.0 million.

At June 30, 2002, these securities had net unrealized gains of $138.5 million (before income taxes). This compares to net unrealized gains of $86.2 million and $86.4 million, respectively, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001. Refer to Note 3 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the composition of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agency obligations represented approximately 54% of the investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2002, including government Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) and mortgage-backed securities issues, which represented 49% of the portfolio. Union Planters has limited credit risk in the investment portfolio which, at June 30, 2002 consisted of investment grade CMOs representing 23.8% of the portfolio, municipal obligations representing 16.4% of the portfolio and other stocks and securities, primarily Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB stock representing 5.8% of the portfolio. Management does not consider that risk to be significant and does not believe that cash flows will be significantly impacted. Reference is made to the Net Interest Income and Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management discussions for information regarding the market-risk in the investment securities portfolio.

Loans

Loans, net of unearned income, at June 30, 2002 were $23.3 billion compared to $24.5 billion and $23.2 billion at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Loans held for resale were $1.1 billion at June 30, 2002 compared to $1.3 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, at June 30 and December 31, 2001. Note 4 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report presents the composition of the loan portfolio.

Average loans, excluding FHA/VA loans, were $23.0 billion for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $24.3 billion for the same quarter in 2001 and compared to $24.2 billion for the first quarter of 2002. Excluding the impact of loan divestitures, average loans increased slightly compared to the same quarter last year.

Allowance for Losses on Loans

The allowance for losses on loans (the Allowance) at June 30, 2002 was $353.6 million, an increase of $11.6 million from December 31, 2001. The Allowance at June 30, 2001 was $342.9 million. The increase in the Allowance from December 31, 2001 related to the provision for losses on loans exceeding net charge-offs. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were .75% for the second quarter of 2002, an increase over the second quarter of 2001. Net charge-offs for the balance of the year are expected to be in line with the first half of 2002. Union Planters' loan portfolio is diversified and well secured, and management expects losses to remain at their current manageable level. This is a forward-looking statement and actual results could differ because of several factors, including those identified in this discussion and in the discussion of Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information.

Union Planters maintains the Allowance at a level deemed sufficient to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is reviewed quarterly to assess the risk in the portfolio. This methodology includes assigning loss factors to loans with similar characteristics for which inherent probable loss can be assessed. The loss factors are based on historical experience as adjusted for current business and economic conditions and are applied to the respective portfolios to assist in determination of the overall adequacy of the Allowance.

A periodic review of selected credits (based on loan size) is conducted to identify loans with heightened risk or inherent losses. The primary responsibility for this review rests with the management personnel assigned with accountability for the credit relationship. This review is supplemented with periodic reviews by Union Planters' credit review function, as well as periodic examination by the applicable regulatory agencies. These reviews provide information, which assists management in the timely identification of problems and potential problems and provides a basis for deciding whether the credit represents a probable loss or risk, which should be recognized.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Allowance at the dates indicated and certain key ratios for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and for the year ended December 31, 2001:

____________________

(1) See the preceding table for the amount of FHA/VA government-insured guaranteed/loans on nonaccrual and past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

Loans Other than FHA/VA Loans. Nonperforming assets increased $6.9 million over the first quarter of 2002 and $60.6 million over June 30, 2001. A general increase in all categories of nonperforming assets has been experienced since the second quarter of 2001 primarily due to prevailing economic conditions. During the second quarter of 2002, there has been a decrease in loans past due less than 90 days and an increase in foreclosed property due to action taken on past due accounts. Nonperforming assets are expected to increase moderately through the balance of the year. Management believes the risk of losses in nonperforming assets will be mitigated by the diversity of the loan portfolio and the generally sound collateralization practices across the banking franchise. These are forward-looking statements, and actual results could differ because of several factors, including those mentioned in the Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information at the beginning of this discussion.

Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $201.6 million, or .87% of loans, at June 30, 2002 compared to $132.0 million, or .55%, and $187.6 million, or .82% of loans, at June 30, 2001 and March 31, 2002, respectively. The preceding table details the composition of these loans. As discussed above, the increase in these loans related primarily to the slowing of the economy.

FHA/VA Loans. FHA/VA government-insured/guaranteed loans do not, in management's opinion, have traditional credit risk inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio and risk of principal loss is considered minimal. FHA/VA loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $35.1 million at June 30, 2002 which compares to $120.4 million and $38.9 million at June 30, 2001 and March 31, 2002, respectively. The decline in past due loans at June 30, 2002 compared to June 30, 2001 resulted primarily from the sale of $126.9 million in delinquent FHA/VA loans in the third quarter of 2001. At June 30, 2002, June 30, 2001 and March 31, 2002, $1.7 million, $2.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of these loans were placed on nonaccrual status by management because the contractual payment of interest by FHA/VA had stopped due to missed filing dates. No loss of principal is expected from these loans.

FHA/VA Foreclosure Claims

Provisions for losses related to FHA/VA claims are provided through noninterest expense as provisions for losses on FHA/VA foreclosure claims and the corresponding liability is carried in other liabilities. The provision for losses on FHA/VA foreclosure claims was $.3 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. At June 30, 2002, the Company had a reserve for FHA/VA claims losses of $2.9 million compared to $8.3 million and $3.0 million at June 30, 2001 and March 31, 2002, respectively.

Potential Problem Assets

Potential problem assets consist of assets that are generally secured and are not currently considered nonperforming. They include those assets where information about possible credit problems has raised serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present repayment terms. Historically, such assets have been loans, which have ultimately become nonperforming. At June 30, 2002, Union Planters had potential problem assets (all loans) aggregating $69.7 million, comprised of 16 loans, the largest of which is $11.8 million. This compares to potential problem assets (all loans) aggregating $44.4 million, comprised of 13 loans, at June 30, 2001 and $70.0 million, or 22 loans, at March 31, 2002.

Capital expenditures

During the first half of 2002, the Company capitalized approximately $28.7 million in expenditures for premises and equipment. Included in this amount are expenditures for hardware and software, as well as consulting fees directly related to their installation.

Deposits

Union Planters' deposit base is its primary source of liquidity and consists of deposits from the communities served by Union Planters.

Average deposits were $23.5 billion for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $23.7 billion for the second quarter of 2001 and $23.6 billion for the first quarter of 2002. Core deposits for the second quarter of 2002 increased $395.2 million over the second quarter of 2001 and were down $39.1 million from the first quarter of 2002. Overall, deposits decreased $155.7 million from second quarter of 2001 and $93.8 million from the first quarter of 2002. Average deposits were impacted by sales of branches over the past year having deposit balances of over $1.0 billion. Excluding these sales, deposits for the second quarter of 2002 increased $887.8 million over the second quarter of 2001 and decreased $63.5 million from the first quarter of 2002.

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings were $2.5 billion at June 30, 2002 compared to $4.0 billion at June 30, 2001 and $1.7 billion at March 31, 2002. Average short-term borrowings for the second quarter of 2002 declined $2.4 billion and $81.5 million, respectively, compared to the same quarter last year and the first quarter of 2002. The composition of this decrease, primarily short-term FHLB advances, federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, has resulted from the strategic repositioning of the balance sheet referenced in the Investment Securities, Loan, and Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management discussions. Reference is made to the Investment Securities, Loan, and Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management discussions for additional information.

Short- and Medium-Term Senior Notes

On June 7, 2002, UPB issued $600.0 million in Medium-Term Senior Notes under its $5.0 billion senior and subordinated bank note program. The notes carry an interest rate of 5.125% annually and mature in June 2007. The funds from the issuance were used for general corporate purposes. At December 31, 2001, there were no notes outstanding under this program. At June 30, 2001, there was $60.0 million outstanding.

Shareholders' Equity

Union Planters' total shareholders' equity increased $23.1 million from December 31, 2001 to $3.2 billion at June 30, 2002. The major items affecting shareholders' equity are as follows:

  • $ 116.6 million increase due to retained net earnings (net earnings less dividends paid)
  • $ 33.2 million increase due to the net change in the unrealized gain or loss on available for sale investment securities
  • $ 20.9 million increase due to common stock issued for employee benefit plans
  • $ 148.0 million decrease due to common shares purchased and retired (4.5 million shares purchased)

The Board of Directors authorized the purchase from time to time of up to 10.7 million shares. During 2002, 1.5 million shares were purchased, bringing the total purchased under this authorization to 4.0 million. The Board of Directors also authorized the purchase of 6.6 million shares issued in the Jefferson Heritage acquisition. During 2002, 3.0 million shares were purchased under this authorization, which completed the acquisition of the shares issued.

Subsequent to June 30, 2002, Union Planters purchased and retired 3.0 million shares of its common stock. This brings the total number of shares purchased under the Board of Directors' authorization of 10.7 million shares to 7.0 million.

Liquidity

Union Planters requires liquidity sufficient to meet cash requirements for deposit withdrawals, to make new loans and satisfy loan commitments, to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities and to repay borrowings at maturity. Deposits, available for sale securities and money market investments are Union Planters' primary sources of liquidity. Liquidity is also achieved through short-term borrowings, borrowings under available lines of credit, and issuance of securities and debt instruments in the financial markets. Union Planters believes it has adequate liquidity to meet its operating requirements.

Parent company liquidity is achieved and maintained by dividends received from subsidiaries, interest on advances to subsidiaries and interest on its available for sale investment securities portfolio. At June 30, 2002, the parent company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $471.2 million, which compares to $452.8 million and $518.4 million, respectively, at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. Net working capital (total assets maturing within one year less similar liabilities) was $440.5 million, which compares to $455.5 million and $502.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

At July 1, 2002, the parent company could have received dividends from subsidiaries of $324.1 million without prior regulatory approval. The payment of dividends by Union Planters' subsidiaries will be dependent on the future earnings and capital and liquidity considerations. Management believes that the parent company has adequate liquidity to meet its cash needs, including the payment of its regular dividends and servicing of its debt.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk and Asset/Liability Management

Union Planters' assets and liabilities are principally financial in nature, and the resulting earnings, primarily net interest income, are subject to change as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates and the mix of the various assets and liabilities. Interest rates in the financial markets affect pricing decisions on assets and liabilities, and the resulting net interest income represented approximately 66% of Union Planters' revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002. Consequently, a substantial part of Union Planters' risk-management activities are devoted to managing interest rate risk. Currently, Union Planters does not have any significant risks related to foreign exchange, commodities or equity risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Since one of the most important aspects of management's efforts to sustain long-term profitability for Union Planters is the management of interest rate risk, management's goal is to optimize net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk. To achieve this goal, a proper balance must be maintained between assets and liabilities with respect to size, maturity, repricing date, rate of return and degree of risk. Reference is made to the Investment Securities, Loans and Other Earning Assets discussions for additional information regarding the risks related to these items.

Union Planters' Asset/Liability Management Committee (the ALCO Committee) oversees the management of interest rate risk, investments, capital and liquidity management activities. The ALCO Committee meets monthly and reviews the outlook for the economy and interest rates, Union Planters' balance sheet structure, yields on earning assets and rates on interest-bearing liabilities, and the impact of anticipated business activities on these items. The primary method of analyzing and managing interest rate risk at Union Planters is simulation analysis (projecting net interest income under various interest rate and balance sheet assumptions).

Interest rate risk is evaluated by conducting balance sheet simulations to project net interest income for twelve months forward under various interest rate scenarios. Each of these scenarios is compared with a base case scenario wherein current market rates and current period balances are held constant for the simulation period.

The scenarios include immediate "shocks" to current rates of 200 basis points up and down and a "most likely" scenario in which current rates are moved according to economic forecasts and management's expectations of changes in administered rates. At June 30, 2002, an additional scenario of 100 basis points down was run due to the unique interest rate environment in which a 200 basis point decrease would drive many key market interest rates below zero, and, therefore, the risk assessment would not be meaningful.

The results of these simulations are compared to policy guidelines approved by the ALCO Committee, which limit the change in net interest income to 20% of net earnings when compared with the base case (flat) scenario.

The impact of changes in interest rates on net earnings, stated in terms of annual dollar amount and percentage of net earnings, are as follows:

____________________

(a) The most likely change scenario at June 30, 2002 reflects a 175 basis point increase in federal funds rate over 12 months of simulation. At December 31, 2001 the scenario reflects a 175 basis point increase in federal funds rate over the last 8 months of simulation.

The key assumptions used in simulation analysis include the following:

  • Prepayment rates on mortgage-related assets and fixed rate loans
  • Cash flows and repricings of all financial instruments
  • Changes in volumes and pricing
  • Future shapes of the yield curve
  • Relationship of market interest rates to each other (basis risk)
  • Credit spread
  • Deposit sensitivity
  • Management's financial plan

The assumptions are inherently uncertain, and, as a result, the simulation cannot precisely estimate net interest income nor predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, the difference between actual experience and the characteristics assumed, as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.

The following Repricing Gap analysis illustrates the cash flows and repricings under a stable rate environment that are fundamental to the simulations used by management to manage the interest rate risk position of the Company:

____________________

Management has made the following assumptions in presenting the above analysis:

(1) Assets and liabilities are generally scheduled according to their earliest repricing dates regardless of their contractual maturities.

(2) Nonaccrual loans and accounts receivable-factoring are included in the noninterest-bearing category.

(3) Fixed-rate mortgage loan maturities are estimated on the current prevailing principal prepayment patterns of compatible mortgage-backed securities.

(4) Delinquent FHA/VA loans are scheduled based on foreclosure and repayment patterns.

(5) The scheduled maturities of mortgage-backed securities and CMOs assume principal prepayment of these securities on dates estimated by management, relying primarily upon current and consensus interest rate forecasts in conjunction with the latest three-month historical prepayment schedules.

(6) Securities are generally scheduled according to their call dates when valued at a premium to par.

(7) Money market deposits, interest-bearing checking and savings deposits that have no contractual maturities are scheduled according to management's best estimate of their repricing in response to changes in market rates. The impact of changes in market rates would be expected to vary by product type and market.

(8) If all money market, interest-bearing checking and savings deposits had been included in the 0-90 Days category above, the cumulative gap as a percentage of total assets would have been negative (17%), (17%) and (14%) for the 0-90 Days, 91-180 Days and 181-365 Days categories and positive 3%, 11%, 13% and 13%, respectively, for the 1-3 Years, 3-5 Years, 5-15 Years and over 15 Years categories at June 30, 2002.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

Union Planters and/or its various subsidiaries are parties to certain pending or threatened civil actions, which are described in Item 3, Part I of the Union Planters' 2001 Form 10-K, Form 8-K dated June 6, 2002 and in Note 20 to Union Planters' consolidated financial statements, in the Proxy and Annual Financial Disclosures. Various other legal proceedings pending against Union Planters and /or its subsidiaries have arisen in the ordinary course of business.

On May 1, 2002, Union Planters Bank, N.A. filed a complaint against Continental Casualty Company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee (Docket No. is 02-cv-2321-Ma) seeking recovery under the insurance policy it maintains with Continental Casualty Company for the damages resulting from fraud associated with a $25 million mortgage warehouse line of credit extended by UPB. UPB charged off the line of credit in the quarter ended September 30, 2001, and established a $17 million receivable for the estimated recovery under the insurance policy.

While it is impossible to predict with certainty the outcome of any legal proceeding, based upon present information, including evaluations by outside counsel, management is of the opinion that neither Union Planters' financial position, results of operations nor liquidity will be materially affected by the ultimate resolution of pending or threatened legal proceedings. There were no other significant developments during the second quarter of 2002 in any of the pending or threatened actions that affected such opinion.

The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation for the election of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting shall be held on the third Thursday in April of each year if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday, at such time as shall be designated by the Board. If the annual meeting shall not be held on the day hereinabove provided for, the Board shall call a special meeting for the election of Directors as soon thereafter as convenient, and in any event not later than 30 days after said day.

Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, unless otherwise prescribed by law, may be called for any purpose or purposes whatsoever at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or the holders of not less than one tenth (1/10) of the shares entitled to vote at such meeting.

Section 3. Notice of Meeting; Waiver of Notice. Written or printed notice stating the place, day, hour, purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and the person or persons calling the meeting shall be delivered either personally or by mail or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or other person or persons calling the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting and shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States Mail addressed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the stock transfer records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. If delivered personally, such notice shall be delivered not less than five (5) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting and shall be deemed delivered when actually received by the shareholder. A certificate of the Secretary or other person giving the notice, or of a transfer agent of the Corporation, that the notice required by this Section has been given, in the absence of fraud, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated. Whenever the shareholders of this Corporation are authorized to take any action after notice or after the lapse of a prescribed period of time, such action may be taken without notice and without the lapse of such period of time, if at any time before or after such action is completed each shareholder entitled to such notice or entitled to participate in the action to be taken, (or his attorney-in-fact or proxy holder), shall submit a signed waiver of notice of such requirement. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and at the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. However, if after the adjournment the Board shall fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 4. Place of Meetings. Meetings of the shareholders may be held at such place, either within or without the State of Tennessee, as may be set by the Board. If the Board shall fail to set the place of the meeting, the meeting shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation.

When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any of those present. A meeting may be adjourned despite the absence of a quorum. The absence from any meeting of holders of the number of shares of stock of the Corporation in excess of a majority thereof which may be required by the laws of the State of Tennessee or other applicable statute, the Charter, or these Bylaws, for action upon any given matter, shall not prevent action at such meeting upon any other matter or matters which may properly come before the meeting, if there shall be present thereat, in person or by proxy, holders of the number of shares of stock of the C orporation required for action in respect of such other matter or matters.

Section 6. Organization. At each meeting of the shareholders, the Chairman of the Board or in his absence or inability to act, the Vice chairman, or in the absence or inability to act of the Chairman of the Board and the Vice Chairman, the President, shall act as Chairman of the meeting.

b. If such record date shall not have been fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Every proxy must be signed by the shareholder or his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable prior to its use at the pleasure of the shareholder executing it, except as otherwise provided in this Section or by law. The authority of the holder of a proxy to act shall not be revoked by the incompetence or the death of the shareholder who executed the proxy unless, before the authority is exercised, written notice of an adjudication of such incompetence or the death of the shareholder who executed the proxy unless, before the authority is exercised, written notice of an adjudication of such incompetence or written notice of such death is received by the corporate officer responsib le for maintaining the list of shareholders. A proxy authorized by a shareholder which is entitled "irrevocable proxy" and which states it is irrevocable is irrevocable when it is held by one of the following or a nominee of any of the following:

(a) a pledge;

(b) a person who has purchased or agreed to purchase the shares;

(c) a person designated by or under an agreement comporting with the law.

Notwithstanding a provision in a proxy stating that it is irrevocable, the proxy becomes revocable after the pledge is redeemed or such agreement has terminated.

A proxy may be revoked notwithstanding a provision making it irrevocable, by a purchaser of shares without knowledge of the existence of the provision unless the existence of the proxy and its irrevocability is noted conspicuously on the face or back of the certificate representing such shares.

Whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action by vote, such action may be taken without a meeting on written consent, setting forth the action so taken, signed by all of the persons or entities entitled to vote thereon.

If a vote shall be taken on any question, then unless required by statute, or determined by the Chairman of the meeting to be advisable, any such vote need not be by ballot. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the shareholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.

Section 9. List of Shareholders. A list of shareholders of the Corporation as of the record date, certified by the officer responsible for the preparation or by the Corporation's transfer agent, shall be open for inspection at any meeting of the shareholders. If the right to vote at any meeting is challenged, the Chairman of the meeting may rely on such list as evidence of the right of the persons challenged to vote at such meeting.

Section 10. Inspectors of Election. The Board may, in advance of any meeting of shareholders, appoint two or more inspectors to act at such meeting or at any adjournment thereof. If the inspectors shall not be so appointed, or if any of them shall fail to appear or act, the Chairman of the meeting may, and on request of any shareholder entitled to vote thereat shall, appoint inspectors. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the results, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. On request of the Chairman of the meeting or any shareholder entitled to vote thereat, the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge, request or matter determined by them, and shall execute a certificate of the facts found by them. No director or candidate for the office of director shall act as inspector of an election of directors. Inspectors need not be shareholders of the Corporation.

Section 11. Examination of Corporate Records by Shareholders. Any person who shall have been a shareholder of record for at least six (6) months immediately preceding his demand, or who shall be the holder of record of at least five percent (5%) of all of the outstanding shares of the Corporation, upon written demand stating the purpose thereof, shall have the right to examine, in person, or by agent or attorney, at any reasonable time or times, for any proper purpose, the Corporation's books and records of account and the minutes and records of meetings of shareholders, the Board and the Committees of the Board, and to make extracts therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon proof of proper purpose by a shareholder of the Corporation, irrespective of the period of time during which such shareholder shall have been a shareholder of record and irrespective of the percentage of outstanding shares held by him, a court having equity jurisdiction in Shelby County, Tennessee, may comp el the production for examination by such shareholder of the books, documents and records of the Corporation. By resolution, the Board may adopt further policies in respect of the right of the shareholders of the Corporation to inspect said books and records provided that said policies shall not be more restrictive than the provisions of applicable law at the time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any director whose term shall expire at any annual meeting shall continue to serve until such time as his successor shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified unless his position on the Board shall have been abolished by action taken to reduce the size of the Board prior to said meeting.

The Bank proposes to issue from time to time its Senior and Subordinated Bank Notes (each, a "Bank Note" and collectively, the "Bank Notes") in such amounts as may be duly authorized by the Bank pursuant to the Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement, dated December 28, 1998 (the "Distribution Agreement"), among the Bank and the agents named therein (the "Agents").

      The Bank hereby appoints the Issuing and Paying Agent to act, on the terms and conditions specified herein, as issuing and paying agent for the Global Bank Notes and as registrar, transfer agent and authenticating agent for the Global Bank Notes and to perform such other responsibilities as are described (i) herein; (ii) in the Amended and Restated Administrative Procedures, dated December 28, 1998 ("Administrative Procedures"), attached as Exhibit C to the Distribution Agreement as such Administrative Procedures may be amended from time to time by agreement of the Bank and the Agents with notice of such amendments to the Issuing and Paying Agent; and (iii) in the Letters of Representations (the "Letters of Representations") of the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent to DTC and the Issuing and Paying Agent hereby accepts such appointments. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Bank Notes which may be issued pursuant to this Agreement outstanding at any one time is unlimited.

      The Issuing and Paying Agent shall exercise due care in the performance of its obligations hereunder and shall perform such obligations in a manner consistent with industry standards.

    3. Global Bank Note Forms; Terms; Execution.
      1. The Global Bank Notes shall be substantially (A) in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 hereto if such Global Bank Note is a Senior Bank Note (each, a "Senior Bank Note" and collectively, the "Senior Bank Notes") and bears interest at a fixed rate of interest (each such Global Bank Note, a "Fixed Rate Global Senior Bank Note" and collectively, the "Fixed Rate Global Senior Bank Notes"); (B) in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 hereto if such Global Bank Note is a Senior Bank Note and bears interest at a floating rate of interest determined by reference to an interest rate basis specified therein (each such Global Bank Note, a "Floating Rate Global Senior Bank Note" and collectively, the "Floating Rate Global Senior Bank Notes"); (C) in the form set forth in Exhibit A-3 hereto if such Global Bank Note is a Subordinated Bank Note (each, a "Subordinated Bank Note" and collectively, the "Subordinated Bank Notes") and bears interest at a fixed rate of interest (each such Global Bank Note, a "Fixed Rate Global Subordinated Bank Note" and collectively, the "Fixed Rate Global Subordinated Bank Notes"); (D) in the form set forth in Exhibit A-4 hereto if such Global Bank Note is a Subordinated Bank Note and bears interest at a floating rate of interest determined by reference to an interest rate basis specified therein (each such Global Bank Note, a "Floating Rate Global Subordinated Bank Note" and collectively, the "Floating Rate Global Subordinated Bank Notes"); and (E) in such other form as the Bank may from time to time designate.
      2. Each Senior Bank Note issued by the Bank shall have a maturity of 30 days to 30 years from its original date of issuance, and each Subordinated Bank Note issued by the Bank shall have a maturity of five years to 30 years from its original date of issuance. The Bank Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $250,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
      3. The interest rate borne by any particular Global Bank Note may vary from the interest rates borne by any other Global Bank Notes. Any such variation shall not affect the interest rate borne by any other Global Bank Notes previously issued hereunder.

      4. The Bank will from time to time deliver or cause to be delivered to the Issuing and Paying Agent a supply of blank Global Bank Notes in such quantities as the Bank shall determine, bearing consecutive control numbers. Each Global Bank Note will have been executed by the manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Representative (as defined in Section 3 hereof) of the Bank. The Issuing and Paying Agent will acknowledge receipt of the Global Bank Notes delivered to it and will hold such blank Global Bank Notes in safekeeping in accordance with its customary practice and shall complete, authenticate and deliver such Global Bank Notes in accordance with the provisions hereof.
    4. Authorized Representatives. From time to time, the Bank will furnish the Issuing and Paying Agent with a certificate executed by an officer of the Bank certifying the incumbency and specimen signatures of those officers of the Bank authorized to execute Global Bank Notes on behalf of the Bank by manual or facsimile signature and to give instructions and notices on behalf of the Bank hereunder (the "Authorized Representatives"). Until the Issuing and Paying Agent receives a subsequent certificate, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the last such certificate delivered to it for the purposes of determining the identities of Authorized Representatives of the Bank. Any Global Bank Note bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of persons who are Authorized Representatives of the Bank on the date such signatures are affixed shall bind the Bank after the completion, authentication and delivery thereof by the Issuing and Paying Agent, notwithstanding that such persons shall have ce ased to hold office on the date such Global Bank Note is so completed, authenticated and delivered by the Issuing and Paying Agent.
    5. Issuance Instructions; Completion, Authentication and Delivery of Global Bank Notes.
      1. All instructions regarding the completion, authentication and delivery of Global Bank Notes shall be given by an Authorized Representative of the Bank by telephone (confirmed in writing as soon as practicable), by facsimile transmission or by other acceptable written means by such Authorized Representative.
      2. Upon receipt of the instructions described above, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall cause to be withdrawn the necessary and applicable Global Bank Notes from safekeeping and, in accordance with such instructions, shall:
        1. complete each Global Bank Note;
        2. record each Global Bank Note in the applicable Bank Note Register (as defined in Section 10 hereof);
        3. cause each Global Bank Note to be manually authenticated by any one of the signatories of the Issuing and Paying Agent duly authorized and designated by it for such purpose; and
        4. with respect to the Global Bank Notes, hold each Global Bank Note in safekeeping on behalf of the registered holder thereof;

      provided that instructions regarding the completion and authentication of a Global Bank Note, whether delivered by facsimile transmission or by other written means, are received by the Issuing and Paying Agent by 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of settlement relating to such Global Bank Note (or 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date of settlement relating to such Bank Note if the trade date and the date of settlement relating to such Bank Note are the same day). As used in this Agreement, the term "Business Day" shall mean any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or the city in which the Bank is headquartered are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close, and with respect to LIBOR Notes (as defined in the applicable Floating Rate Global Bank Note) only, any day that is also a London Business Day. As used in this Agreement, "London Business Day" mea ns any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

    6. Reliance on Instructions; Request for Instructions. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall incur no liability to the Bank in acting hereunder upon instructions contemplated hereby which the Issuing and Paying Agent reasonably believed in good faith to have been given by an Authorized Representative of the Bank. In the event a discrepancy exists between the instructions as originally received by the Issuing and Paying Agent and any subsequent written confirmation thereof, such original instructions will be deemed controlling; provided that the Issuing and Paying Agent gives notice to the Bank of such discrepancy promptly upon the receipt of such written confirmation.
    7. Any application by the Issuing and Paying Agent for written instructions from the Bank may, at the option of the Issuing and Paying Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Issuing and Paying Agent under this Agreement and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Issuing and Paying Agent in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer of the Bank actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Issuing and Paying Agent shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

    8. The Bank's Representations and Warranties. Each instruction given to the Issuing and Paying Agent in accordance with Section 4 hereof shall constitute a representation and warranty to the Issuing and Paying Agent by the Bank that the issuance and delivery of the Global Bank Notes have been duly and validly authorized by the Bank and that the Global Bank Notes, when completed and authenticated pursuant hereto, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Bank subject to applicable bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to, or affecting, creditors' rights and to general equity principles. The Bank further warrants that it is free to enter into this Agreement and to perform the terms hereof.
    9. Payments of Interest; Interest Payment Dates; Record Dates. Interest payments on Global Bank Notes with maturities of more than one year will be made: (i) in the case of the Fixed Rate Global Senior Bank Notes and Fixed Rate Global Subordinated Bank Notes (collectively, the "Fixed Rate Global Bank Notes"), semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (unless otherwise specified in any applicable Fixed Rate Global Bank Notes) and (ii) in the case of Floating Rate Global Senior Bank Notes and Floating Rate Global Subordinated Bank Notes (collectively, the "Floating Rate Global Bank Notes"), on such dates as are specified therein (collectively, the "Interest Payment Dates") and, in each case, at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment if so indicated in the applicable Global Bank Note. All such interest payments (other than interest due at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment) will be made to the Holders (as defined in Section 10 hereof) (i) in whose names Fixed Rate Glob al Bank Notes are registered at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 (unless otherwise specified in any applicable Fixed Rate Global Bank Notes) (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding such Interest Payment Dates and (ii) in whose names Floating Rate Global Bank Notes are registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) prior to each such Interest Payment Date (each such May 1, November 1 and fifteenth calendar day, a "Record Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Original Issue Date of any Global Bank Note with a maturity of more than one year occurs between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, the first payment of interest on any such Global Bank Note will be made on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Original Issue Date (as defined in the Global Bank Notes). Interest payments will be calculated and made in the manner provided in the applicable Global Bank Note.
    10. If the Bank does not deposit adequate funds pursuant to Section 9 hereof with respect to the interest due on a Global Bank Note with a maturity of more than one year on an Interest Payment Date, such interest will cease to be due to the Holder of such Global Bank Note as of the close of business on the Record Date relating to such Interest Payment Date and will be paid to the Holder of such Global Bank Note as of the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Issuing and Paying Agent when funds for the payment of such interest have been deposited pursuant to Section 9 hereof. Notice of such special record date shall be given by the Issuing and Paying Agent, at the Bank's expense, to the registered Holder of such Global Bank Note not less than 10 calendar days prior to such special record date.

      Interest payments on Fixed Rate Global Bank Notes with maturities of one year or less will be made only upon maturity upon presentation and surrender of the applicable Fixed Rate Global Bank Note (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Fixed Rate Global Bank Note). Interest payments on Fixed Rate Global Bank Notes with maturities of one year or less will be calculated in the manner provided in the applicable Fixed Rate Global Bank Note. Interest payments on Floating Rate Global Bank Notes with maturities of one year or less will be made on the Interest Payment Dates specified in such Floating Rate Global Bank Note and, in each case, at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment. Interest payments on Floating Rate Global Bank Notes with maturities of one year or less will be calculated in the manner provided in the applicable Floating Rate Global Bank Note.

    11. Payment of Principal. The Issuing and Paying Agent will pay the Holder of each Global Bank Note the principal amount of each such Global Bank Note, together with accrued interest and premium, if any, at maturity (or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if applicable).
    12. Deposit of Funds. The total amount of any principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on Global Bank Notes, on any Interest Payment Date or any maturity date or date of redemption or repayment shall be paid by the Bank to the Issuing and Paying Agent no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, in funds available for use by the Issuing and Paying Agent on such date. The Bank will make such payment on such Global Bank Notes via Fedwire to an account specified by the Issuing and Paying Agent. Upon receipt of funds from the Bank with respect to any Global Bank Note, on such date or as soon as possible thereafter, the Issuing and Paying Agent will pay by separate wire transfer (using message entry instructions in a form previously specified by DTC) to an account previously specified by DTC, in funds available for immediate use by DTC, each payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on a Global Bank Note on such date.
    13. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall hold such amounts paid to it by the Bank in trust for the Holders but shall, pending payment by it to the account specified above, not be under any liability for interest on monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the terms of this Agreement or of the Global Bank Notes, nor shall the Issuing and Paying Agent be required to invest such monies.

    14. Bank Note Registers; Registration, Transfer, and Exchange; Persons Deemed Owners.
      1. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall maintain at its offices the Senior Note Register and Subordinated Note Register (together, the "Bank Note Registers"). The Issuing and Paying Agent is hereby appointed as Registrar for the purpose of registering each Global Bank Note and transfers of such Global Bank Note as herein provided. The terms "Senior Note Register" and "Subordinated Note Register" shall mean the definitive records in which shall be recorded the names, addresses and taxpayer identifying numbers of the holders of the Global Senior Bank Notes and Global Subordinated Bank Notes, respectively (collectively, the "Holders"), the serial and CUSIP numbers of each such Global Bank Note and the Original Issue Date thereof and details with respect to the transfer and exchange of each Global Bank Note.
      2. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Global Bank Note at the offices of the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Bank shall execute, and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall complete, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Global Bank Notes of any authorized denominations and having identical terms and provisions and for an equal aggregate principal amount.
      3. At the option of the Holder of a Global Bank Note, such Global Bank Note may be exchanged for other Global Bank Notes of any authorized denominations of an equal aggregate principal amount and having identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Global Bank Notes to be exchanged at the designated offices of the Issuing and Paying Agent. Whenever any Global Bank Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Bank shall execute, and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall complete, authenticate and deliver, the Global Bank Notes which the Holder of the Global Bank Note making the exchange is entitled to receive. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Bank Note representing Book-Entry Bank Notes will not be entitled to have such Book-Entry Bank Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Bank Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under this Agreement. However, if DTC notifies the B ank that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Bank within 60 days, or the Bank in its sole discretion determines not to have Book-Entry Bank Notes represented by one or more Global Bank Notes, then Global Bank Notes representing Book-Entry Bank Notes may be exchanged in whole for definitive Bank Notes in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, upon surrender of the Global Bank Notes to be exchanged at the offices of the Issuing and Paying Agent.
      4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall not register the transfer of or exchange (i) any Global Bank Note that has been called for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Global Bank Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) any Global Bank Note during the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of such redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (iii) any Global Bank Note in violation of the legend contained on the face of such Global Bank Note.
      5. All Global Bank Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Bank Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Bank, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits as the Global Bank Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
      6. Every Global Bank Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer with such evidence of due authorization and guaranty of signature as may reasonably be required by the Issuing and Paying Agent, in form satisfactory to the Issuing and Paying Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
      7. No service charge shall be made to a Holder of Global Bank Notes for any transfer or exchange of Global Bank Notes, but the Bank may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
      8. The Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent, and any agent of the Bank or the Issuing and Paying Agent, may treat the Holder in whose name a Global Bank Note is registered as the owner of such Global Bank Note for all purposes, whether or not such Global Bank Note be overdue, and neither the Bank, the Issuing and Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary except as required by applicable law.
    15. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, or Stolen Global Bank Notes. In case any Global Bank Note shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, and such Global Bank Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent (together with indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required by the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent) shall be delivered to the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Bank shall execute a new Global Bank Note, of like tenor and principal amount, having a serial number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Global Bank Note or in lieu of the Global Bank Note destroyed, lost or stolen but, in the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Global Bank Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Issuing and Paying Agent and the Bank that such Global Bank Note was destroyed, stolen or lost, and, if required, upon receipt of indemnity s atisfactory to each of them. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall authenticate any such substituted Global Bank Note and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any Authorized Representative of the Bank. Upon the issuance of any substituted Global Bank Note, the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover all expenses and reasonable charges connected with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Global Bank Note. If any Global Bank Note that has matured or has been redeemed or repaid or is about to mature or to be redeemed or repaid, as the case may be, shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Global Bank Note, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Global Bank Note) upon compliance by the Holder with the provisions of this Section.
    16. Cancellation. All Global Bank Notes surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any person other than the Issuing and Paying Agent, be delivered to the Issuing and Paying Agent and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Bank may at any time deliver to the Issuing and Paying Agent for cancellation any Global Bank Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Bank may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Global Bank Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Issuing and Paying Agent. No Global Bank Note shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Global Bank Note cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Global Bank Notes held by the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be returned to the Bank.
    17. Redemption of Global Bank Notes.
      1. If any Global Bank Notes are to be redeemed prior to maturity, the Bank shall notify the Issuing and Paying Agent not more than 60 nor less than 45 calendar days (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Issuing and Paying Agent in its sole discretion) prior to the date fixed by the Bank for such redemption (the "Redemption Date") of the Bank's election to redeem such Global Bank Notes in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount of such Global Bank Notes shall be at least $250,000). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Global Bank Note, the Bank may not redeem, in whole or in part, any Subordinated Bank Note prior to its maturity unless it has obtained the prior written approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "Comptroller"); provided, however, that a Subordinated Bank Note that is redeemable at the option of the Bank prior to its maturity may be so redeemed without the prior approval of the Comptroller if the Bank would remain an "eligible bank" as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 5.3(g) (or any successor regulatory provision) after such redemption, unless the Comptroller has notified the Bank that such prior approval is required or such prior approval is otherwise required by law.
      2. Whenever less than all the Global Bank Notes at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Global Bank Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Bank. If less than all the Global Bank Notes with identical terms, as evidenced by a like CUSIP number, at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Global Bank Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Issuing and Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Bank in writing of the Global Bank Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of Global Bank Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
      3. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Global Bank Note or the Letters of Representations, notice of redemption shall be given by the Issuing and Paying Agent, at the Bank's expense, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of such Global Bank Note to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Bank Note Register. All notices of redemption shall identify the Global Bank Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP number) and shall state: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the redemption price, which shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Global Bank Note (the "Redemption Price"); (iii) if less than all of the Global Bank Notes at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Global Bank Notes to be redeemed; (iv) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, to the Red emption Date will become due and payable with respect to each Global Bank Note to be redeemed and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date; and (v) the place or places where such Global Bank Notes are to be surrendered for payment.
      4. Notice of redemption having been given as described above, the Global Bank Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price, and from and after such date such Global Bank Notes shall cease to bear interest. The Bank shall deposit funds with the Issuing and Paying Agent prior to the Redemption Date that are sufficient to redeem such Global Bank Notes which are scheduled to be so redeemed. Upon surrender of any such Global Bank Notes for redemption in accordance with such notice, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall pay such Global Bank Notes at the Redemption Price, together with unpaid interest accrued on such Global Bank Notes at the applicable rate borne by such Global Bank Notes to the Redemption Date.
      5. Any Global Bank Note that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered to the Issuing and Paying Agent, and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall complete, authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Global Bank Note, without service charge, a new Global Bank Note or Global Bank Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder (which shall be $250,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof), in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Bank Note so surrendered.
      6. The Bank, in issuing the Global Bank Notes, may use "CUSIP" numbers and, if so, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Global Bank Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Global Bank Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
    18. Repayment of Global Bank Notes.
      1. In order for any Global Bank Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder thereof, such Global Bank Note must be delivered either in accordance with the Letters of Representations, or by the Holder thereof, with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" (set forth in such Global Bank Note) duly completed, to the Issuing and Paying Agent at its offices located at the address set forth in Section 21 hereof, or such other place or places of which the Bank shall from time to time notify the Holders of the Global Bank Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to any date fixed for such repayment of such Global Bank Notes (the "Optional Repayment Date"). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Global Bank Note, no Subordinated Bank Note will specify a Holder's Optional Repayment Date that is less than five years from the date of issue of such Subordinated Bank Note. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Global Bank Note, a Subordinated Bank Note may not b e repaid at the option of the Holder, in whole or in part, prior to its maturity without the prior written approval of the Comptroller; provided, however, that a Subordinated Bank Note that is repayable at the option of the Holder thereof prior to its maturity may be so repaid without the prior approval of the Comptroller if the Bank would remain an eligible bank as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 5.3(g) (or any successor regulatory provision) after such repayment, unless the Comptroller has notified the Bank that such prior approval is required or such prior approval is otherwise required by law.
      2. Upon surrender of any Global Bank Note for repayment in accordance with the provisions set forth above, the Global Bank Note to be repaid shall, on the Optional Repayment Date, become due and payable, and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall pay such Global Bank Note on the Optional Repayment Date at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the Optional Repayment Date.
      3. If less than the entire principal amount of any Global Bank Note is to be repaid, the Holder thereof shall specify the portion thereof (which shall be in increments of $1,000) which such Holder elects to have repaid and shall surrender such Global Bank Note to the Issuing and Paying Agent, and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall complete, authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Global Bank Note, without service charge, a new Global Bank Note or Global Bank Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepaid portion of the principal of the Global Bank Note so surrendered and in such denominations as shall be specified by such Holder (which shall be $250,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof).
    19. Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default (as defined in the applicable Global Bank Note) with respect to a Senior Bank Note or Subordinated Bank Note, as the case may be, issued by the Bank shall occur, then the Holder of the applicable Senior Bank Note or Subordinated Bank Note may declare the principal amount of, and accrued interest and premium, if any, on such Senior Bank Note or Subordinated Bank Note due and payable by written notice to the Bank. Upon such declaration and notice, such principal amount, accrued interest and premium, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. The Bank shall promptly notify, and provide copies of any such notice to, the Issuing and Paying Agent, and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall promptly mail by first-class mail, postage prepaid, copies of such notice to the Holders of the Senior Bank Notes or the Subordinated Bank Notes, as the case may be, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or of the curing or waiver of an Event of Default. Any Eve nt of Default with respect to a Bank Note may be waived by the Holder thereof.
    20. In the event of a failure by the Bank to make payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Subordinated Notes (and, in the case of payment of interest, continuance of such failure to pay for two days), the Bank will, upon written demand of the Holder thereof, pay to such Holder the whole amount then due and payable on the Subordinated Note, with interest on the overdue amount at the rate borne by the Subordinated Note to the extent such interest is legally enforceable. If the Bank fails to pay such amount upon such demand, the Holder may, among other things, institute a judicial proceeding for the collection thereof.

    21. Application of Funds; Return of Unclaimed Funds. Any monies paid by the Bank and held by the Issuing and Paying Agent in trust for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Global Bank Notes that remain unclaimed for two years following the date on which such principal, premium or interest shall have become due and payable shall be returned to the Bank but only upon its written request by the Issuing and Paying Agent and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall inform the Bank as to the specific Global Bank Notes to which such monies related, and any Holder shall thereafter look, as an unsecured general creditor, only to the Bank for the payment thereof and all liability of the Issuing and Paying Agent with respect to such trust monies shall thereupon cease. Any funds deposited by the Bank with the Issuing and Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Bank Note shall be held in trust on behalf of the Bank by the Issuing and Paying Agent for th e payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Bank Note until paid or returned to the Bank.
    22. Cancellation of Unissued Notes. Upon the written request of the Bank, the Issuing and Paying Agent promptly shall cancel and return to the Bank all unissued Bank Notes in its possession.

Neither the Issuing and Paying Agent nor its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to the Bank for any act or omission hereunder except in the case of negligence or willful misconduct. The duties and obligations of the Issuing and Paying Agent, its directors, officers and employees shall be determined by the express provisions of this Agreement and no implied covenants shall be read into this Agreement against any of them. Notwithstanding any other provision elsewhere contained in this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent is acting solely as agent of the Bank and does not assume any obligation or relationship of trust or agency for or with any Holders. Neither the Issuing and Paying Agent nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be required to ascertain whether any issuance or sale of Bank Notes (or any amendment or termination of this Agreement) has been duly authorized (provided that the Issuing and Paying Agent in good faith has determined that the facsimile or manual signature of the Authorized Representative or any person who has been designated by the Authorized Representative in writing to the Issuing and Paying Agent reasonably resembles the specimen signatures filed with the Issuing and Paying Agent) or is in compliance with any other agreement to which the Bank is a party (whether or not the Issuing and Paying Agent is also a party to such other agreement), and the Issuing and Paying Agent and each of its officers and employees shall be entitled to rely upon any instructions reasonably believed (in accordance with Section 3 hereof) by the Issuing and Paying Agent and its officers and employees to be given on behalf of the Bank by an Authorized Representative or by any person who has been designated by an Authorized Representative in writing to the Issuing and Paying Agent as a person authorized to give such instructions hereunder, whether or not in fact given by the Authorized Representative or such designated person.
    24. The Issuing and Paying Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement.

    25. Indemnification, Risk of Funds. The Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the Issuing and Paying Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all actions, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) relating to or arising out of their actions or inactions taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing and Paying Agent in good faith in connection with its performance under this Agreement including, but not limited to, any actions taken or omitted upon instructions by the Bank (in accordance with Section 3) or the issuance, delivery, payment or non-payment of any Bank Note or interest thereon, or other receipt or other funds for the payment of the Bank Notes or interest or premium thereon; provided, however, that the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be liable for any liabilities, losses, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) caused by the negligence, bad faith or willful mis conduct of its directors, officers, employees or agents. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Issuing and Paying Agent and the termination of this Agreement.
    26. No provision of this Agreement shall require the Issuing and Paying Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

    27. Compensation of the Issuing and Paying Agent. The Bank agrees to pay the compensation of the Issuing and Paying Agent, at such rates as shall be mutually agreed upon in writing between the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent from time to time. The Bank shall reimburse upon demand the Issuing and Paying Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Issuing and Paying Agent with respect to the Bank in accordance with any provisions of this Agreement, except any such expense, disbursement or advance proven to be attributable to the breach of this Agreement or the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing and Paying Agent, upon receipt of such invoices as the Bank may reasonably require. The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Issuing and Paying Agent and the termination of this Agreement.

    30. The Issuing and Paying Agent may resign at any time as such agent upon written notice to the Bank of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall be not less than 90 calendar days after the giving of such notice by the Issuing and Paying Agent to the Bank. The Issuing and Paying Agent may be removed at any time as such agent by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by duly authorized officers of the Bank and specifying such removal and the date, which shall be at least 30 calendar days following receipt of such written notice, upon which it is intended to become effective. Any such resignation or removal shall take effect on the date of the appointment by the Bank of a successor issuing and paying agent and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor issuing and paying agent that qualifies as such under the first paragraph of this Section. In the event of the resignati on or removal of the Issuing and Paying Agent, if a successor issuing and paying agent has not been appointed by the Bank within 90 calendar days after the giving of notice of resignation or within 30 calendar days after receipt of notice of removal, the Issuing and Paying Agent may, at the expense of the Bank, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Issuing and Paying Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall transfer to the successor Issuing and Paying Agent (or, if none shall have been appointed, to the Bank) all monies held by the Issuing and Paying Agent on behalf of the Bank in respect of any Global Bank Notes, any unissued Global Bank Notes and all books and records or copies thereof related to Global Bank Notes maintained by the Issuing and Paying Agent, including copies of the Bank Note Registers. Any resignation or removal hereunder shall not affect the Issuing and Paying Agent's rights to the payment of fees earned or charge s incurred through the effective date of such resignation or removal.

      Any corporation or bank into which the Issuing and Paying Agent hereunder may be merged or converted, or any corporation or bank with which the Issuing and Paying Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation or bank resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or bank to which the Issuing and Paying Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Issuing and Paying Agent, provided that it shall be qualified under the first paragraph of this Section, shall be the successor Issuing and Paying Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

    31. Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto, Holders of Global Bank Notes, and their successors and assigns, and nothing herein, either express or implied, shall give to any other persons any benefits or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by virtue of this Agreement. No party hereto may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder except with the prior written consent of all the parties hereto.
    32. Bank Notes Held by the Issuing and Paying Agent. The Issuing and Paying Agent, its officers, employees and shareholders, may become the owners or acquire any interest in any Bank Notes, with the same rights that it would have if it were not acting as an issuing and paying agent hereunder, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Bank as freely as if it were not acting as an issuing and paying agent hereunder.
    33. Amendment. This Agreement shall not be amended by any party hereto except in writing executed by the duly authorized officers of all parties.
    34. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such State, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, and by each of the parties hereto in separate counterparts, and each such counterpart, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

If no Default Rate is specified above, the Default Rate shall be the Interest Rate on this Senior Note specified above. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Senior Note (or any predecessor Senior Note) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date, which shall be the May 1 and November 1 (whether or not a Business Day (as defined below)), as the case may be, next precedi ng the applicable Interest Payment Date (unless otherwise specified on the face hereof) (each, a "Regular Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if applicable, will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the holder as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Senior Note (or any predecessor Senior Note) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest (the "Special Record Date") to be fixed by the Bank, notice of which shall be given to the holders of Senior Notes not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner.

Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Bank will at all times appoint and maintain an issuing and paying agent (the "Issuing and Paying Agent," which term shall include any successor Issuing and Paying Agent), authorized by the Bank to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note on behalf of the Bank pursuant to an issuing and paying agency agreement (the "Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement") and having an office or agency (the "Issuing and Paying Agent Office") in The City of New York or in the city in which the Bank is headquartered (the "Place of Payment"), where this Senior Note may be presented or surrendered for payment and where notices, designations or requests in respect of payments with respect to this Senior Note may be served.

Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note due at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if applicable, will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Senior Note to the Issuing and Paying Agent at the Issuing and Paying Agent Office; provided that this Senior Note is presented to the Issuing and Paying Agent in time for the Issuing and Paying Agent to make such payment in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest on this Senior Note (other than at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment) will be made by wire transfer to such account as has been appropriately designated to the Issuing and Paying Agent by the person entitled to such payments.

Reference herein to "this Senior Note", "hereof", "herein" and comparable terms shall include an Addendum hereto if an Addendum is specified above.

ISSUING AND PAYING AGENT'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Senior Notes referred to in the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CHICAGO,

as Issuing and Paying Agent

By:_______________________________
Authorized Signatory

[Reverse]

This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Bank Notes of the Bank due from 30 days to 30 years from date of issue (the "Senior Notes").

Payments of interest hereon will include interest accrued from and including the date of issue to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on Senior Notes with maturities of greater than one year will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on Senior Notes with maturities of one year or less will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 and will be payable only at maturity to the person to whom principal shall be payable.

Any provision contained herein with respect to the calculation of the rate of interest applicable to this Senior Note, its Interest Payment Dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so specified on the face hereof.

If any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Senior Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be. "Business Day" means, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that in The City of New York or in the city in which the Bank is headquartered is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

This Senior Note will not be subject to any sinking fund. If so provided on the face of this Senior Note, this Senior Note may be redeemed by the Bank either in whole or in part on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof. If no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this Senior Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. On and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Senior Note may be redeemed in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the option of the Bank at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued hereon at the applicable rate borne by this Senior Note to the date of redemption (each such date, a "Redemption Date"), on written notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holder hereof. Whenever less than all the Senior Notes at any time outstanding are to b e redeemed, the terms of the Senior Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Bank. If less than all the Senior Notes with identical terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Senior Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Issuing and Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it. In the event of redemption of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof of the principal amount of this Senior Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, of the principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount.

This Senior Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof in accordance with the terms hereof on any Holder's Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof. If no Holder's Optional Repayment Date is specified on the face hereof, this Senior Note will not be repayable at the option of the holder hereof prior to maturity. On any Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Senior Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof will be at least $250,000) at the option of the holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued and unpaid interest hereon payable to the date of repayment. For this Senior Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof on a Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Senior Note must be delivered, with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" attached hereto duly completed, to the Issuing and Paying Agent at its offices located at 1 First National Plaza, Suite 0126, Chicago, Illinois 60670-0126, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at 153 West 51st Street, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at such other address which the Bank shall from time to time notify the holders of the Senior Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to such Holder's Optional Repayment Date. In the event of repayment of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note for the unrepaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable.

If this Senior Note is an Original Issue Discount Note and if an Event of Default with respect to this Senior Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the Default Amount (as defined hereafter) of this Senior Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided herein. The "Default Amount" shall be equal to the adjusted issue price as of the first day of the accrual period as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-1(b) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which the date of acceleration occurs increased by the daily portion of the original issue discount for each day in such accrual period ending on the date of acceleration, as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Upon payment of (i) the principal, or premium, if any, so declared due and payable and (ii) interest on any overdue princi pal and overdue interest or premium, if any (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Bank's obligations in respect of the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note shall terminate.

In case any Senior Note shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, and such Senior Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent and such other documents or proof as may be required by the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be delivered to the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Bank shall issue a new Senior Note, of like tenor and principal amount, having a serial number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Senior Note or in lieu of the Senior Note destroyed, lost or stolen but, in the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent that such Senior Note was destroyed, stolen or lost, and, if required, upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent. Upon the issuance of any substituted Senior Note, the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent ma y require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover all expenses and reasonable charges connected with the preparation and delivery of a new Senior Note. If any Senior Note which has matured or has been redeemed or repaid or is about to mature or to be redeemed or repaid shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Senior Note, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Senior Note) upon compliance by the holder with the provisions of this paragraph.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Senior Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, against any shareholder, employee, agent, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Bank or of any successor corporation, banking association or other legal entity (collectively, "corporation"), either directly or through the Bank or any corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" with respect to this Senior Note: (i) default in the payment of any interest with respect to any of the Senior Notes issued by the Bank when due, which continues for 30 calendar days; (ii) default in the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on, any of the Senior Notes issued by the Bank when due; (iii) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (a) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Bank in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (b) a decree or order appointing a conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or any other similar official of the Bank, or of substantially all of the property of the Bank, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Bank, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (iv) the commencement by the Bank of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Bank to the entry of a decree or order for relief in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding, or the filing by the Bank of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable United States federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law, or the consent by the Bank to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, conservator, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or simi lar official of the Bank or of substantially all of the property of the Bank, or the making by the Bank of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by the Bank in furtherance of any such action. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the holder of this Senior Note may declare the principal amount of, accrued interest and premium, if any, on, this Senior Note due and payable immediately by written notice to the Bank. Upon such declaration and notice, such principal amount, accrued interest and premium, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. Any Event of Default with respect to this Senior Note may be waived by the holder hereof.

The Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement provides that the Bank will promptly notify, and provide copies of any such notice to, the Issuing and Paying Agent, and the Issuing and Paying Agent will promptly mail by first-class mail, postage prepaid, copies of such notice to the holders of the Senior Notes, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or of the curing or waiver of an Event of Default.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Bank with any other corporation or successive consolidations or mergers in which the Bank or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of the property of the Bank as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other corporation authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however (and the Bank hereby covenants and agrees) that any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance shall be upon the condition that: (i) immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance the corporation (whether the Bank or such other corporation) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or the corporation to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall not be in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Senior Note to be observed or performed by the Bank; and ( ii) the corporation (if other than the Bank) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or the corporation to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall be organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, and upon the assumption by the successor corporation of the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants in this Senior Note to be performed or observed by the Bank, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Bank with the same effect as if it had been named in this Senior Note as the Bank and thereafter the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants in this Senior Note and may be liquidated and dissolved.

Union Planters Bank, National Association (the "Bank"), a national banking association chartered under the laws of the United States, for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of _________________ United States Dollars on the Maturity Date specified above (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to the Maturity Date) and to pay interest thereon from and including the Original Issue Date specified above or from and including the most recent interest payment date to which interest on this Senior Note (or any predecessor Senior Note) has been paid or duly provided for (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), on the Interest Payment Dates specified above and at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if applicable, commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date (or, if the Original Issue Date is between a Regular Record Date (as defined below) and the Interest Payment Date immediately following such Regular Record Date, on the second Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date), at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above and thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions hereof and any Addendum relating hereto depending upon the Interest Rate Basis or Bases, if any, and such other terms specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the Default Rate per annum specified above on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and on any overdue installment of interest. If no Default Rate is specified above, the Default Rate shall be the Interest Rate on this Senior Note specified above. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Senior Note (or any predecessor Senior Note ) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date, which shall be the 15th calendar day (whether or not a Business Day (as defined below)) prior to such Interest Payment Date (unless otherwise specified on the face hereof) (each, a "Regular Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if applicable, will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the holder as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Senior Note (or any predecessor Senior Note) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest (the "Special Record Date") to be fixed by the Bank, notice of which shall be given to the holders of Senior Notes not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner.

Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Bank will at all times appoint and maintain an issuing and paying agent (the "Issuing and Paying Agent," which term shall include any successor Issuing and Paying Agent), authorized by the Bank to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note on behalf of the Bank pursuant to an issuing and paying agency agreement (the "Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement") and having an office or agency (the "Issuing and Paying Agent Office") in The City of New York or the city in which the Bank is headquartered (the "Place of Payment"), where this Senior Note may be presented or surrendered for payment and where notices, designations or requests in respect of payments with respect to this Senior Note may be served. The Bank has initially appointed The First National Ba nk of Chicago as the Issuing and Paying Agent, with the Issuing and Paying Agent Office currently located at 1 First National Plaza, Suite 0126, Chicago, Illinois 60670-0126, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, and at 153 West 51st Street, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration.

Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note due at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if applicable, will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Senior Note to the Issuing and Paying Agent at the Issuing and Paying Agent Office; provided that this Senior Note is presented to the Issuing and Paying Agent in time for the Issuing and Paying Agent to make such payment in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest on this Senior Note (other than at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment) will be made by wire transfer to such account as has been appropriately designated to the Issuing and Paying Agent by the person entitled to such payments.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CHICAGO,

as Issuing and Paying Agent

By:

Authorized Signatory

[Reverse]

This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Bank Notes of the Bank due from 30 days to 30 years from date of issue (the "Senior Notes").

If any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date at the Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Senior Note) would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if an Interest Rate Basis is LIBOR, as indicated on the face hereof, and such next Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. Except as provided above, interest payments will be made on the Interest Payment Dates shown on the face hereof. If the Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Senior Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest s hall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be.

This Senior Note will not be subject to any sinking fund. If so provided on the face of this Senior Note, this Senior Note may be redeemed by the Bank either in whole or in part on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof. If no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this Senior Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. On and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Senior Note may be redeemed in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the option of the Bank at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued hereon at the applicable rate borne by this Senior Note to the date of redemption (each such date, a "Redemption Date"), on written notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holder hereof. Whenever less than all the Senior Notes at any time outstanding are to b e redeemed, the terms of the Senior Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Bank. If less than all the Senior Notes with identical terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Senior Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Issuing and Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it. In the event of redemption of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof of the principal amount of this Senior Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, of the principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount.

This Senior Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof in accordance with the terms hereof on any Holder's Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof. If no Holder's Optional Repayment Date is specified on the face hereof, this Senior Note will not be repayable at the option of the holder hereof prior to maturity. On any Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Senior Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof will be at least $250,000) at the option of the holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued and unpaid interest hereon payable to the date of repayment. For this Senior Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof on a Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Senior Note must be delivered, with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" attached hereto duly completed, to the Issuing and Paying Agent at its offices located at 1 First National Plaza, Suite 0126, Chicago, Illinois 60670-0126, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at 153 West 51st Street, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at such other address which the Bank shall from time to time notify the holders of the Senior Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to such Holder's Optional Repayment Date. In the event of repayment of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note for the unrepaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable.

Except as otherwise described in an Addendum hereto, this Senior Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner described on the face hereof. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Senior Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Senior Note is designated on the face hereof as having an Addendum attached, this Senior Note shall bear interest in accordance with the terms described in such Addendum.

Except as provided above, the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (a) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (b) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the next preceding Interest Reset Date. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provision below. If any Interest Reset Date (which term includes the term Initial Interest Reset Date unless the context otherwise requires) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if an Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Busin ess Day.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest payable on this Senior Note on any Interest Payment Date shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the next preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid (or from and including the Original Issue Date specified on the face hereof, if no interest has been paid), to but excluding the related Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such day shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months if the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof is "30/360" for the period specified thereunder, or by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof is "Actual/360" for the period specified thereunder or by the actual number of days in the year if the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof is "Actual/Actual" for the period specified thereunder. If interest on this Senior Note is to be calculated with reference to two or more Int erest Rate Bases as specified on the face hereof, the interest factor will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the CD Rate, CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, the J.J. Kenny Rate and the Prime Rate will be the second Business Day preceding each Interest Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate will be the last working day of the month immediately preceding each Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of San Francisco") publishes the Index (as defined below); the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to LIBOR shall be the second London Business Day (as defined below) preceding each Interest Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the Treasury Rate will be the day in the week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided further that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following such auction. If the interest rate of this Senior Note is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases as specified on the face hereof, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to this Senior Note will be the latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to such Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined on such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the Int erest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date" pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be. All calculations on this Senior Note shall be made by the Calculation Agent specified on the face hereof or such successor thereto as is duly appointed by the Bank.

All percentages resulting from any calculation on this Senior Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or 0.09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655) and 9.876544% (or 0.09876544) would be rounded to 9.87654% (or 0.0987654)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

As used herein, "Business Day" means, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that in The City of New York or in the city in which the Bank is headquartered is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close and, if an Interest Rate Basis shown on the face hereof is LIBOR, is also a London Business Day.

As used herein, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, "London Business Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

Unless as otherwise provided herein, the rate of interest on this Senior Note for each Interest Reset Date shall be the rate determined in accordance with the provisions set forth under the applicable heading below corresponding to the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof:

Determination of CD Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Senior Note is the CD Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CD Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) (as hereinafter defined) under the heading "CDs (secondary market)" or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15 Daily Update (as hereinafter defined), or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "CDs (secondary market)." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognize d electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money center banks for negotiable certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate determined as of such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CD Rate in effect on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date.

"H.15(519)" means the weekly statistical release designated as such, or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

"H.15 Daily Update" means the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or publication.

Determination of CMT Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Senior Note is the CMT Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the CMT Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CMT Interest Determination Date") as the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page under the caption "...Treasury Constant Maturities...Federal Reserve Board Release H.15...Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.," under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7051, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the weekly or monthly average, as specified on the face hereof, for the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or the month, as applicable, in which the related CMT Rate Interest Determination Date falls. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page or is not so displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calcu lation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in H.15(519). If such rate is no longer published or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with respect to such Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in H.15(519). If such information is not so provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary United States government securities dealers in The City of New York (each, a "Reference Dealer") selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If th e Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three such Treasury Note quotations, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury Notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at least $100 million. If three or four (and not five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned herein, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the Calculation Agent will obtain quotations for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity.

"Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on the page specified on the face hereof (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519) or, if no such page is specified on the face hereof, page 7052.

"Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated or, if no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, two years.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Senior Note is the Commercial Paper Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date") as the Money Market Yield (as hereinafter defined) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) under the caption "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial" or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or anothe r recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is "Aa", or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.

"Money Market Yield" means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Money Market Yield = (D X 360/360-(D X M)) X 100

 

where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period.

Determination of Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Senior Note is the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (an "Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate equal to the monthly weighted average cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date falls as set forth under the caption "11th District" on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on page 7058 ("Telerate Page 7058") as of 11:00 A.M., San Francisco time, on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 7058 on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, then the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate on such Eleven th District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the monthly weighted average cost of funds paid by member institutions of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank District that was most recently announced (the "Index") by the FHLB of San Francisco as such cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If the FHLB of San Francisco fails to announce the Index on or prior to such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for the calendar month immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate determined as of such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate in effect on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Senior Note is the Federal Funds Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the Federal Funds Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date for United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)", as such rate is displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on page 120 ("Telerate Page 120"), or, if such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "Federal Funds (Effective)." If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Federal Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate determined as of such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

Kenny Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "J.J. Kenny Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate in the high grade weekly index (the "Weekly Index") on such date made available by Kenny Information Systems ("Kenny") to the Calculation Agent.

The specific issuers included among the component issuers may be changed from time to time by Kenny at its discretion. The bonds on which the Weekly Index is based shall not include any bonds on which the interest is subject t o a minimum tax or similar tax under the Code, unless all tax-exempt bonds are subject to such tax. In the event Kenny ceases to make available such Weekly Index, a successor indexing agent will be selected by the Calculation Agent, such index to reflect the prevailing rate for bonds rated in the highest short-term rating category by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in respect of issuers most closely resembling the high grade component issuers selected by Kenny for its Weekly Index, the interest on which is (A) variable on a weekly basis, (B) exempt from federal income taxation under the Code, and (C) not subject to a minimum tax or similar tax under the Code unless all tax-exempt bonds are subject to such tax. If such successor indexing agent is not available, the rate for any J.J. Kenny Rate Interest Determination Date shall be 67% of the rate determined if the Treasury Rate option had been originally selected.

Determination of LIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Senior Note is LIBOR, as indicated on the face hereof, LIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "LIBOR Interest Determination Date") in accordance with the following provisions:

If fewer than two such offered rates so appear, or if no such rate so appears, as applicable, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in clause (ii) below.

(ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., in the applicable Principal Financial Center, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks in such Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in the Designated LIBOR Currency to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined as of such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

Determination of Prime Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Senior Note is the Prime Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the Prime Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Prime Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the caption "Bank Prime Loan" or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page (as hereinafter defined) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date.

In the event that the resul ts of the Auction of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, or if no such Auction is held, then the Treasury Rate will be the rate (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market" or, if not yet published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of such Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market."

Any provision contained herein, including the determination of an Interest Rate Basis, the specification of an Interest Rate Basis, calculation of the interest rate applicable to this Senior Note, its Interest Payment Dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so specified on the face hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. In addition to any Maximum Interest Rate applicable hereto pursuant to the above provisions, the interest rate on this Senior Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, The First National Bank of Chicago will be the Calculation Agent.

The "Default Amount" shall be equal to the adjusted issue price as of the first day of the accrual period as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-1(b) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which the date of acceleration occurs increased by the daily portion of the original issue discount for each day in such accrual period ending on the date of acceleration, as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Upon payment of (i) the principal, or premium, if any, so declared due and payable and (ii) interest on any overdue princi pal and overdue interest or premium, if any (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Bank's obligations in respect of the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note shall terminate.

Any action by the holder of this Senior Note shall bind all future holders of this Senior Note, and of any Senior Note issued in exchange or substitution herefor or in place hereof, in respect of anything done or permitted by the Bank or by the Issuing and Paying Agent in pursuance of such action.

The Issuing and Paying Agent shall maintain at its offices a register (the register maintained in such office or any other office or agency of the Issuing and Paying Agent in The City of New York, herein referred to as the "Senior Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall provide for the registration of the Senior Notes and of transfers of the Senior Notes (in such capacity, the "Senior Notes Registrar").

Such definiti ve Senior Notes shall be registered in the name or names of such person or persons as the Depositary shall instruct the Issuing and Paying Agent.

If no Default Rate is specified above, the Default Rate shall be the Interest Rate on this Subordinated Note specified above.

Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the holder as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Subordinated Note (or any predecessor Subordinated Note) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest (the "Special Record Date") to be fixed by the Bank, notice of which shall be given to the holders of Subordinated Notes not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner.

By:_______________________________
Authorized Signatory

[Reverse]

This Subordinated Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Subordinated Bank Notes of the Bank due from five years to 30 years from date of issue (the "Subordinated Notes").

Payments of interest hereon will include interest accrued from and including the date of issue to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on this Subordinated Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Any provision contained herein with respect to the calculation of the rate of interest applicable to this Subordinated Note, its Interest Payment Dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so specified on the face hereof.

If any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Subordinated Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be. "Business Day" means, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that in The City of New York or in the city in which the Bank is headquartered is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

The indebtedness of the Bank evidenced by this Subordinated Note, including principal, premium, if any, and interest, shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Bank's obligations to its depositors, its obligations under bankers' acceptances, letters of credit and Senior Notes, and its obligations to all of its other general creditors, including any obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank and the FDIC, and to any rights acquired by the FDIC as a result of loans made by the FDIC to the Bank or the purchase or guarantee of any of its assets by the FDIC, pursuant to the provisions of 12 U.S.C. Section 1823(c) or (d), in each case whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, other than obligations (i) to holders of debt obligations that by their express terms rank on a parity with or junior to the Subordinated Notes or (ii) arising out of claims of the FDIC pursuant to the provisions of 12 U.S.C. 1815(e) (relating to liability incurred in connection with commonly controlled depository institutions). In the event of any insolvency proceeding, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding up of or relating to the Bank, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such obligations (except obligations that rank on a parity with or junior to this Subordinated Note) shall be entitled to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Subordinated Note. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to such prior obligations, the holder of this Subordinated Note, together with the holders of any obligations of the Bank ranking on a parity with this Subordinated Note, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Bank the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note or such other obligations before any payment or other distribution , whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of the Bank ranking junior to this Subordinated Note. Nothing herein shall impair the obligation of the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and any interest on, this Subordinated Note in accordance with its terms.

This Subordinated Note will not be subject to any sinking fund. If so provided on the face of this Subordinated Note, this Subordinated Note may be redeemed by the Bank either in whole or in part on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof. If no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this Subordinated Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. On and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Subordinated Note may be redeemed in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the option of the Bank at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued hereon at the applicable rate borne by this Subordinated Note to the date of redemption (each such date, a "Redemption Date"), on written notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holder hereof. Whenever less than all the Subordina ted Notes at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the terms of the Subordinated Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Bank. If less than all the Subordinated Notes with identical terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Subordinated Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Issuing and Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it. In the event of redemption of this Subordinated Note in part only, a new Subordinated Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof of the principal amount of this Subordinated Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, of the principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided under "Other Provisions" on the face hereof, the Bank may not redeem, in whole or in part, this Subordinated Note prior to its Maturity Date unless it has obtained the prior written approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States (the "Comptroller"); provided, however, that if this Subordinated Note is redeemable at the option of the Bank prior to its Maturity Date, this Subordinated Note may be so redeemed without the prior approval of the Comptroller if the Bank would remain an "eligible bank," as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 5.3(g) (or any successor regulatory provision), after such redemption, unless the Comptroller has notified the Bank that such prior approval is required or that such prior approval is otherwise required by law.

This Subordinated Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof in accordance with the terms hereof on any Holder's Optional Repayment Date(s) (which in no event will be earlier than five years after the Original Issue Date), if any, specified on the face hereof. If no Holder's Optional Repayment Date is specified on the face hereof, this Subordinated Note will not be repayable at the option of the holder hereof prior to maturity. On any Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Subordinated Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof will be at least $250,000) at the option of the holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued and unpaid interest hereon payable to the date of repayment. For this Subordinated Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof on a Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Subordinated Note must be d elivered, with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" attached hereto duly completed, to the Issuing and Paying Agent at its offices located at 1 First National Plaza, Suite 0126, Chicago, Illinois 60670-0126, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at 153 West 51st Street, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at such other address which the Bank shall from time to time notify the holders of the Subordinated Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to such Holder's Optional Repayment Date. In the event of repayment of this Subordinated Note in part only, a new Subordinated Note for the unrepaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided under "Other Provisions" on the face hereof, this Subordinated Note may not be repaid, in whole or in part, prior to its Maturity Date pursuant to the terms hereof without the prior written approval of the Comptroller; provided, however, that if this Subordinated Note is repayable at the option of the holder thereof prior to its Maturity Date, this Subordinated Note may be so repaid without the prior approval of the Comptroller if the Bank would remain an "eligible bank," as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 5.3(g) (or any successor regulatory provision), after such repayment, unless the Comptroller has notified the Bank that such prior approval is required or that such prior approval is otherwise required by law. In addition, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, this Subordinated Note will not specify a Holder's Optional Repayment Date that is less than five years from the date of issue of this Subordinated Note.

If this Subordinated Note is an Original Issue Discount Note and if an Event of Default with respect to this Subordinated Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the Default Amount (as defined hereafter) of this Subordinated Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided herein. The "Default Amount" shall be equal to the adjusted issue price as of the first day of the accrual period as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-1(b) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which the date of acceleration occurs increased by the daily portion of the original issue discount for each day in such accrual period ending on the date of acceleration, as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Upon payment of (i) the principal, or premium, if any, so declared due and payable and (ii) interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest or premium, if any (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Bank's obligations in respect of the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note shall terminate.

In case any Subordinated Note shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, and such Subordinated Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent and such other documents or proof as may be required by the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be delivered to the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Bank shall issue a new Subordinated Note, of like tenor and principal amount, having a serial number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Subordinated Note or in lieu of the Subordinated Note destroyed, lost or stolen but, in the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent that such Subordinated Note was destroyed, stolen or lost, and, if required, upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent. Upon the issuance of any substituted Subordinated No te, the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover all expenses and reasonable charges connected with the preparation and delivery of a new Subordinated Note. If any Subordinated Note which has matured or has been redeemed or repaid or is about to mature or to be redeemed or repaid shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Subordinated Note, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Subordinated Note) upon compliance by the holder with the provisions of this paragraph.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Subordinated Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, against any shareholder, employee, agent, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Bank or of any successor corporation, banking association or other legal entity (collectively, "corporation"), either directly or through the Bank or any corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

An "Event of Default" with respect to this Subordinated Note will occur if the Bank shall consent to, or a court or other governmental agency shall enter a decree or order for, the appointment of a receiver or other similar official in any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to the Bank or all or substantially all of its property and, in the case of a decree or order, such decree or order shall have remained in force for a period of 60 consecutive days. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the holder of this Subordinated Note may declare the principal amount of, accrued interest and premium, if any, on, this Subordinated Note due and payable immediately by written notice to the Bank. Upon such declaration and notice, such principal amount, accrued interest and premium, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. Any Event of Default with respect to this Subordinated Note may be waived by the holder hereof. There is no right of acceleration in the case of a def ault in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Subordinated Note or in the performance of any other obligation of the Bank under this Subordinated Note or under any other security issued by the Bank. Notwithstanding the above, no prepayment hereunder, including a prepayment pursuant to an acceleration following an Event of Default, shall be made without the prior approval of the Comptroller unless the Bank remains an eligible bank, as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 5.3(g) (or any successor regulatory provision) after the prepayment.

The Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement provides that the Bank will promptly notify, and provide copies of any such notice to, the Issuing and Paying Agent, and the Issuing and Paying Agent will promptly mail by first-class mail, postage prepaid, copies of such notice to the holders of the Subordinated Notes, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or of the curing or waiver of an Event of Default.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Bank with any other corporation or successive consolidations or mergers in which the Bank or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of the property of the Bank as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other corporation authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however (and the Bank hereby covenants and agrees) that any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance shall be upon the condition that: (i) immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance the corporation (whether the Bank or such other corporation) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or the corporation to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall not be in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Subordinated Note to be observed or performed by the Bank; and (ii) the corporation (if other than the Bank) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or the corporation to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall be organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, and upon the assumption by the successor corporation of the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants in this Subordinated Note to be performed or observed by the Bank, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Bank with the same effect as if it had been named in this Subordinated Note as the Bank and thereafter the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants in this Subordinated Note and may be liquidated and dissolved.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subordinated Note, including specifically the provisions set forth herein relating to subordination, events of default and covenants of the Bank, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Comptroller or any receiver or conservator of the Bank appointed by the Comptroller shall have the right in the performance of his legal duties, and as part of any transaction or plan of reorganization or liquidation designed to protect or further the continued existence of the Bank or the rights of any parties or agencies with an interest in, or claim against, the Bank or its assets, to transfer or direct the transfer of the obligations of this Subordinated Note to any national banking association, state bank or bank holding company selected by such official which shall expressly assume the obligation of the due and punctual payment of the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note and the due and punctual performance of all covenants an d conditions hereof; and that the completion of such transfer and assumption shall serve to supersede and void any default, acceleration or subordination which may have occurred, or which may occur due or related to such transaction, plan, transfer or assumption pursuant to the provisions of this Subordinated Note, and shall serve to return the holder hereof to the same position, other than for substitution of the obligor, it would have occupied had no default, acceleration or subordination occurred; except that any interest and principal previously due, other than by reason of acceleration, and not paid shall, in the absence of a contrary agreement by the holder of this Subordinated Note, be deemed to be immediately due and payable as of the date of such transfer and assumption, together with interest from its original due date at the rate provided for herein.

Any action by the holder of this Subordinated Note shall bind all future holders of this Subordinated Note, and of any Subordinated Note issued in exchange or substitution herefor or in place hereof, in respect of anything done or permitted by the Bank or by the Issuing and Paying Agent in pursuance of such action.

The Issuing and Paying Agent shall maintain at its offices a register (the register maintained in such office or any other office or agency of the Issuing and Paying Agent in The City of New York, herein referred to as the "Subordinated Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall provide for the registration of the Subordinated Notes and of transfers of the Subordinated Notes (in such capacity, the "Subordinated Notes Registrar").

The transfer of this Subordinated Note is registrable in the Subordinated Note Register, upon surrender of this Subordinated Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuing and Paying Agent in the Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Subordinated Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No provision of this Subordinated Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note in U.S. dollars at the times, places and rate herein prescribed in accordance with its terms.

In the event of the failure by the Bank to make payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Subordinated Note (and, in the case of payment of interest, such failure to pay shall have continued for two Business Days), the Bank will, upon demand of the holder of this Subordinated Note, pay to the holder of this Subordinated Note the whole amount then due and payable on this Subordinated Note for principal, premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note to the extent provided for herein. If the Bank fails to pay such amount upon such demand, the holder of this Subordinated Note may, among other things, institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of such amount.

The Notes are issuable only in fully registered form in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Each owner of a beneficial interest in this Subordinated Note is required to hold a beneficial interest in a $250,000 principal amount or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof of this Subordinated Note at all times.

No service charge shall be made to a holder of this Subordinated Note for any transfer or exchange of this Subordinated Note, but the Bank may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

Beneficial interests represented by this Subordinated Note are exchangeable for definitive Subordinated Notes in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, only if (x) The Depository Trust Company, as Depositary (the "Depositary") notifies the Bank that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Subordinated Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Bank within 60 days, or (y) the Bank in its sole discretion determines not to have such beneficial interests represented by this Subordinated Note. Any Subordinated Note representing such beneficial interests that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable in whole for definitive Subordinated Notes in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1, 000 in excess thereof. Such definitive Subordinated Notes shall be registered in the name or names of such person or persons as the Depositary shall instruct the Issuing and Paying Agent.

Prior to due presentment of this Subordinated Note for registration of transfer, the Bank, the Issuing and Paying Agent or any agent of the Bank or the Issuing and Paying Agent may treat the holder in whose name this Subordinated Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Subordinated Note be overdue, and neither the Bank, the Issuing and Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary except as required by applicable law.

This is one of the Subordinated Notes referred to in the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CHICAGO,

as Issuing and Paying Agent

By:

Authorized Signatory

[Reverse]

This Subordinated Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Subordinated Bank Notes of the Bank due from five years to 30 years from date of issue (the "Subordinated Notes").

If any Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date at the Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Subordinated Note) would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if an Interest Rate Basis is LIBOR, as indicated on the face hereof, and such next Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. Except as provided above, interest payments will be made on the Interest Payment Dates shown on the face hereof. If the Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Subordinated Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be.

The indebtedness of the Bank evidenced by this Subordinated Note, including principal, premium, if any, and interest, shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Bank's obligations to its depositors, its obligations under bankers' acceptances, letters of credit and Senior Notes, and its obligations to all of its other general creditors, including any obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank and the FDIC, and to any rights acquired by the FDIC as a result of loans made by the FDIC to the Bank or the purchase or guarantee of any of its assets by the FDIC, pursuant to the provisions of 12 U.S.C. Section 1823(c) or (d), in each case whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, other than obligations (i) to holders of debt obligations that by their express terms rank on a parity with or junior to the Subordinated Notes or (ii) arising out of claims of the FDIC pursuant to the provisions of 12 U.S.C. 1815(e) (relating to liability incurred in connection with commonly controlled depository institutions). In the event of any insolvency proceeding, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding up of or relating to the Bank, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such obligations (except obligations that rank on a parity with or junior to this Subordinated Note) shall be entitled to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Subordinated Note. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to such prior obligations, the holder of this Subordinated Note, together with the holders of any obligations of the Bank ranking on a parity with this Subordinated Note, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Bank the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note or such other obligations before any payment or other distribution , whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of the Bank ranking junior to this Subordinated Note. Nothing herein shall impair the obligation of the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and any interest on, this Subordinated Note in accordance with its terms.

This Subordinated Note will not be subject to any sinking fund. If so provided on the face of this Subordinated Note, this Subordinated Note may be redeemed by the Bank either in whole or in part on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof. If no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this Subordinated Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. On and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Subordinated Note may be redeemed in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the option of the Bank at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued hereon at the applicable rate borne by this Subordinated Note to the date of redemption (each such date, a "Redemption Date"), on written notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holder hereof. Whenever less than all the Subordina ted Notes at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the terms of the Subordinated Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Bank. If less than all the Subordinated Notes with identical terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Subordinated Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Issuing and Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it. In the event of redemption of this Subordinated Note in part only, a new Subordinated Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof of the principal amount of this Subordinated Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, of the principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided under "Other Provisions" on the face hereof, the Bank may not redeem, in whole or in part, this Subordinated Note prior to its Maturity Date unless it has obtained the prior written approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States (the "Comptroller"); provided, however, that if this Subordinated Note is redeemable at the option of the Bank prior to its Maturity Date, this Subordinated Note may be so redeemed without the prior approval of the Comptroller if the Bank would remain an "eligible bank," as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 5.3(g) (or any successor regulatory provision), after such redemption, unless the Comptroller has notified the Bank that such prior approval is required or that such prior approval is otherwise required by law.

This Subordinated Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof in accordance with the terms hereof on any Holder's Optional Repayment Date(s) (which in no event will be earlier than five years after the Original Issue Date), if any, specified on the face hereof. If no Holder's Optional Repayment Date is specified on the face hereof, this Subordinated Note will not be repayable at the option of the holder hereof prior to maturity. On any Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Subordinated Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof will be at least $250,000) at the option of the holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued and unpaid interest hereon payable to the date of repayment. For this Subordinated Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof on a Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Subordinated Note must be d elivered, with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" attached hereto duly completed, to the Issuing and Paying Agent at its offices located at 1 First National Plaza, Suite 0126, Chicago, Illinois 60670-0126, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at 153 West 51st Street, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at such other address which the Bank shall from time to time notify the holders of the Subordinated Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to such Holder's Optional Repayment Date. In the event of repayment of this Subordinated Note in part only, a new Subordinated Note for the unrepaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided under "Other Provisions" on the face hereof, this Subordinated Note may not be repaid, in whole or in part, prior to its Maturity Date pursuant to the terms hereof without the prior written approval of the Comptroller; provided, however, that if this Subordinated Note is repayable at the option of the holder thereof prior to its Maturity Date, this Subordinated Note may be so repaid without the prior approval of the Comptroller if the Bank would remain an "eligible bank," as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 5.3(g) (or any successor regulatory provision), after such repayment, unless the Comptroller has notified the Bank that such prior approval is required or that such prior approval is otherwise required by law. In addition, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, this Subordinated Note will not specify a Holder's Optional Repayment Date that is less than five years from the date of issue of this Subordinated Note.

Except as otherwise described in an Addendum hereto, this Subordinated Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner described on the face hereof. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Subordinated Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Subordinated Note is designated on the face hereof as having an Addendum attached, this Subordinated Note shall bear interest in accordance with the terms described in such Addendum.

Except as provided above, the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (a) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (b) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the next preceding Interest Reset Date. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provision below. If any Interest Reset Date (which term includes the term Initial Interest Reset Date unless the context otherwise requires) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if an Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Busin ess Day.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest payable on this Subordinated Note on any Interest Payment Date shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the next preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid (or from and including the Original Issue Date specified on the face hereof, if no interest has been paid), to but excluding the related Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such day shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months if the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof is "30/360" for the period specified thereunder, or by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof is "Actual/360" for the period specified thereunder or by the actual number of days in the year if the Day Count Convention specified on the face hereof is "Actual/Actual" for the period specified thereunder. If interest on this Subordinated Note is to be calculated with reference to two or mo re Interest Rate Bases as specified on the face hereof, the interest factor will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the CD Rate, CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, the J.J. Kenny Rate and the Prime Rate will be the second Business Day preceding each Interest Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate will be the last working day of the month immediately preceding each Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of San Francisco") publishes the Index (as defined below); the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to LIBOR shall be the second London Business Day (as defined below) preceding each Interest Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the Treasury Rate will be the day in the week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided further that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following such auction. If the interest rate of this Subordinated Note is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases as specified on the face hereof, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to this Subordinated Note will be the latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to such Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined on such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effec t on the Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date" pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be. All calculations on this Subordinated Note shall be made by the Calculation Agent specified on the face hereof or such successor thereto as is duly appointed by the Bank.

All percentages resulting from any calculation on this Subordinated Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or 0.09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655) and 9.876544% (or 0.09876544) would be rounded to 9.87654% (or 0.0987654)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

As used herein, "Business Day" means, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that in The City of New York or in the city in which the Bank is headquartered is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close and, if an Interest Rate Basis shown on the face hereof is LIBOR, is also a London Business Day.

As used herein, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, "London Business Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

Unless as otherwise provided herein, the rate of interest on this Subordinated Note for each Interest Reset Date shall be the rate determined in accordance with the provisions set forth under the applicable heading below corresponding to the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof:

Determination of CD Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Subordinated Note is the CD Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CD Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) (as hereinafter defined) under the heading "CDs (secondary market)" or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15 Daily Update (as hereinafter defined), or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "CDs (secondary market)." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another rec ognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money center banks for negotiable certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate determined as of such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CD Rate in effect on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date.

"H.15(519)" means the weekly statistical release designated as such, or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

"H.15 Daily Update" means the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or publication.

Determination of CMT Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Subordinated Note is the CMT Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the CMT Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CMT Interest Determination Date") as the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page under the caption "...Treasury Constant Maturities...Federal Reserve Board Release H.15...Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.," under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7051, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the weekly or monthly average, as specified on the face hereof, for the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or the month, as applicable, in which the related CMT Rate Interest Determination Date falls. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page or is not so displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in H.15(519). If such rate is no longer published or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with respect to such Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in H.15(519). If such information is not so provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the n the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary United States government securities dealers in The City of New York (each, a "Reference Dealer") selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three such Treasury Note quotations, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury Notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at least $100 million. If three or four (and not five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned herein, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the Calculation Agent will obtain quotations for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity.

"Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on the page specified on the face hereof (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519) or, if no such page is specified on the face hereof, page 7052.

"Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated or, if no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, two years.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Subordinated Note is the Commercial Paper Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date") as the Money Market Yield (as hereinafter defined) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) under the caption "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial" or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is "Aa", or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Pape r Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.

"Money Market Yield" means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Money Market Yield = (D X 360/360-(D X M)) X 100

 

where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period.

Determination of Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Subordinated Note is the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (an "Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate equal to the monthly weighted average cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date falls as set forth under the caption "11th District" on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on page 7058 ("Telerate Page 7058") as of 11:00 A.M., San Francisco time, on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 7058 on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, then the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the monthly weighted average cost of funds paid by member institutions of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank District that was most recently announced (the "Index") by the FHLB of San Francisco as such cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If the FHLB of San Francisco fails to announce the Index on or prior to such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for the calendar month immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate determined as of such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate in effect on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Subordinated Note is the Federal Funds Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the Federal Funds Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date for United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)", as such rate is displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on page 120 ("Telerate Page 120"), or, if such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "Federal Funds (Effective)." If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Federal Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate determined as of such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

Determination of J.J. Kenny Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Subordinated Note is the J.J. Kenny Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the J.J. Kenny Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "J.J. Kenny Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate in the high grade weekly index (the "Weekly Index") on such date made available by Kenny Information Systems ("Kenny") to the Calculation Agent. The Weekly Index shall be based upon 30-day yield evaluations at par of bonds, the interest of which is exempt from federal income taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), of not less than five high grade component issuers selected by Kenny which shall include, without limitation, issuers of general obligation bonds. The specific issuers included among the component issuers may be changed from time to time by Kenny at its discretion. The bonds on which the Weekly Index is based shall not include any bonds on which the interest is sub ject to a minimum tax or similar tax under the Code, unless all tax-exempt bonds are subject to such tax. In the event Kenny ceases to make available such Weekly Index, a successor indexing agent will be selected by the Calculation Agent, such index to reflect the prevailing rate for bonds rated in the highest short-term rating category by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in respect of issuers most closely resembling the high grade component issuers selected by Kenny for its Weekly Index, the interest on which is (A) variable on a weekly basis, (B) exempt from federal income taxation under the Code, and (C) not subject to a minimum tax or similar tax under the Code unless all tax-exempt bonds are subject to such tax. If such successor indexing agent is not available, the rate for any J.J. Kenny Rate Interest Determination Date shall be 67% of the rate determined if the Treasury Rate option had been originally selected.

Determination of LIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Subordinated Note is LIBOR, as indicated on the face hereof, LIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "LIBOR Interest Determination Date") in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) With respect to any Interest Determination Date relating to a Floating Rate Note for which the interest rate is determined with reference to LIBOR (a "LIBOR Interest Determination Date"), LIBOR will be either: (a) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof or if neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof as the method for calculating LIBOR, the rate for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on such Interest Reset Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date; or (b) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the applicable Int erest Reset Date, that appear (or, if only a single rate is required as aforesaid, appears) on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two such offered rates so appear, or if no such rate so appears, as applicable, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in clause (ii) below.

(ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., in the applicable Principal Financial Center, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks in such Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in the Designated LIBOR Currency to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined as of such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

"Designated LIBOR Currency" means the currency specified on the face hereof as to which LIBOR shall be calculated or, if no such currency is specified on the face hereof, United States dollars.

"Designated LIBOR Page" means (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof, the display on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or any successor service) on the page specified on the face hereof (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the Designated LIBOR Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof or neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof as the method for calculating LIBOR, the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on the page specified on the face hereof (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the Designated LIBOR Currency.

"Principal Financial Center" means the capital city of the country to which the Designated LIBOR Currency relates except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Deutsche marks, Dutch guilders, Portuguese escudos, South African rand and Swiss francs, the "Principal Financial Center" shall be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.

Determination of Prime Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Subordinated Note is the Prime Rate, as indicated on the face hereof, the Prime Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Prime Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the caption "Bank Prime Loan" or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page (as herein after defined) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates so appear on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate determined as of such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date.

"Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page" means the display on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or any successor service) on the "US PRIME 1" page (or such other page as may replace the US PRIME 1 page on such service) for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks.

Determination of Treasury Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Subordinated Note is the Treasury Rate, as specified on the face hereof, the Treasury Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate from the auction held on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof under the caption "AVGE INVEST YIELD" on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on page 56 ("Telerate Page 56") or page 57 ("Telerate Page 57") or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the auction average rate of such Treasury Bills (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) as otherwise announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that the results of the Auction of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, or if no such Auction is held, then the Treasury Rate will be the rate (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market" or, if not yet published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of such Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market." If such rate is not yet published in H.15 (519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source, then the Treasury Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate determined as of such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date.

Any provision contained herein, including the determination of an Interest Rate Basis, the specification of an Interest Rate Basis, calculation of the interest rate applicable to this Subordinated Note, its Interest Payment Dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so specified on the face hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. In addition to any Maximum Interest Rate applicable hereto pursuant to the above provisions, the interest rate on this Subordinated Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, The First National Bank of Chicago will be the Calculation Agent.

At the request of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent shall provide to the Holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which shall become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

If this Subordinated Note is an Original Issue Discount Note and if an Event of Default with respect to this Subordinated Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the Default Amount (as defined hereafter) of this Subordinated Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided herein. The "Default Amount" shall be equal to the adjusted issue price as of the first day of the accrual period as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-1(b) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which the date of acceleration occurs increased by the daily portion of the original issue discount for each day in such accrual period ending on the date of acceleration, as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Upon payment of (i) the principal, or premium, if any, so declared due and payable and (ii) interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest or premium, if any (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Bank's obligations in respect of the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note shall terminate.

In case any Subordinated Note shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, and such Subordinated Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent and such other documents or proof as may be required by the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be delivered to the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Bank shall issue a new Subordinated Note, of like tenor and principal amount, having a serial number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Subordinated Note or in lieu of the Subordinated Note destroyed, lost or stolen but, in the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent that such Subordinated Note was destroyed, stolen or lost, and, if required, upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent. Upon the issuance of any substituted Subordinated No te, the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover all expenses and reasonable charges connected with the preparation and delivery of a new Subordinated Note. If any Subordinated Note which has matured or has been redeemed or repaid or is about to mature or to be redeemed or repaid shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Subordinated Note, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Subordinated Note) upon compliance by the holder with the provisions of this paragraph.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Subordinated Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, against any shareholder, employee, agent, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Bank or of any successor corporation, banking association or other legal entity (collectively, "corporation"), either directly or through the Bank or any corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

An "Event of Default" with respect to this Subordinated Note will occur if the Bank shall consent to, or a court or other governmental agency shall enter a decree or order for, the appointment of a receiver or other similar official in any liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to the Bank or all or substantially all of its property and, in the case of a decree or order, such decree or order shall have remained in force for a period of 60 consecutive days. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the holder of this Subordinated Note may declare the principal amount of, accrued interest and premium, if any, on, this Subordinated Note due and payable immediately by written notice to the Bank. Upon such declaration and notice, such principal amount, accrued interest and premium, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. Any Event of Default with respect to this Subordinated Note may be waived by the holder hereof. There is no right of acceleration in the case of a def ault in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Subordinated Note or in the performance of any other obligation of the Bank under this Subordinated Note or under any other security issued by the Bank. Notwithstanding the above, no prepayment hereunder, including a prepayment pursuant to an acceleration following an Event of Default, shall be made without the prior approval of the Comptroller unless the Bank remains an eligible bank, as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 5.3(g) (or any successor regulatory provision) after the prepayment.

The Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement provides that the Bank will promptly notify, and provide copies of any such notice to, the Issuing and Paying Agent, and the Issuing and Paying Agent will promptly mail by first-class mail, postage prepaid, copies of such notice to the holders of the Subordinated Notes, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or of the curing or waiver of an Event of Default.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, and upon the assumption by the successor corporation of the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants in this Subordinated Note to be performed or observed by the Bank, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Bank with the same effect as if it had been named in this Subordinated Note as the Bank and thereafter the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants in this Subordinated Note and may be liquidated and dissolved.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subordinated Note, including specifically the provisions set forth herein relating to subordination, events of default and covenants of the Bank, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Comptroller or any receiver or conservator of the Bank appointed by the Comptroller shall have the right in the performance of his legal duties, and as part of any transaction or plan of reorganization or liquidation designed to protect or further the continued existence of the Bank or the rights of any parties or agencies with an interest in, or claim against, the Bank or its assets, to transfer or direct the transfer of the obligations of this Subordinated Note to any national banking association, state bank or bank holding company selected by such official which shall expressly assume the obligation of the due and punctual payment of the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note and the due and punctual performance of all covenants an d conditions hereof; and that the completion of such transfer and assumption shall serve to supersede and void any default, acceleration or subordination which may have occurred, or which may occur due or related to such transaction, plan, transfer or assumption pursuant to the provisions of this Subordinated Note, and shall serve to return the holder hereof to the same position, other than for substitution of the obligor, it would have occupied had no default, acceleration or subordination occurred; except that any interest and principal previously due, other than by reason of acceleration, and not paid shall, in the absence of a contrary agreement by the holder of this Subordinated Note, be deemed to be immediately due and payable as of the date of such transfer and assumption, together with interest from its original due date at the rate provided for herein.

Any action by the holder of this Subordinated Note shall bind all future holders of this Subordinated Note, and of any Subordinated Note issued in exchange or substitution herefor or in place hereof, in respect of anything done or permitted by the Bank or by the Issuing and Paying Agent in pursuance of such action.

The Issuing and Paying Agent shall maintain at its offices a register (the register maintained in such office or any other office or agency of the Issuing and Paying Agent in The City of New York, herein referred to as the "Subordinated Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall provide for the registration of the Subordinated Notes and of transfers of the Subordinated Notes (in such capacity, the "Subordinated Notes Registrar").

The transfer of this Subordinated Note is registrable in the Subordinated Note Register, upon surrender of this Subordinated Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Issuing and Paying Agent in the Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent duly executed by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Subordinated Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No provision of this Subordinated Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note in U.S. dollars at the times, places and rate herein prescribed in accordance with its terms.

In the event of the failure by the Bank to make payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Subordinated Note (and, in the case of payment of interest, such failure to pay shall have continued for two Business Days), the Bank will, upon demand of the holder of this Subordinated Note, pay to the holder of this Subordinated Note the whole amount then due and payable on this Subordinated Note for principal, premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Subordinated Note to the extent provided for herein. If the Bank fails to pay such amount upon such demand, the holder of this Subordinated Note may, among other things, institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of such amount.

The Notes are issuable only in fully registered form in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Each owner of a beneficial interest in this Subordinated Note is required to hold a beneficial interest in a $250,000 principal amount or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof of this Subordinated Note at all times.

No service charge shall be made to a holder of this Subordinated Note for any transfer or exchange of this Subordinated Note, but the Bank may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

Beneficial interests represented by this Subordinated Note are exchangeable for definitive Subordinated Notes in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, only if (x) The Depository Trust Company, as Depositary (the "Depositary") notifies the Bank that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Subordinated Note or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Bank within 60 days, or (y) the Bank in its sole discretion determines not to have such beneficial interests represented by this Subordinated Note.

Such definitive Subordinated Notes shall be registered in the name or names of such person or persons as the Depositary shall instruct the Issuing and Paying Agent.

Prior to due presentment of this Subordinated Note for registration of transfer, the Bank, the Issuing and Paying Agent or any agent of the Bank or the Issuing and Paying Agent may treat the holder in whose name this Subordinated Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Subordinated Note be overdue, and neither the Bank, the Issuing and Paying Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary except as required by applicable law.

AMENDED AND RESTATED INTEREST CALCULATION AGREEMENT

Between

UNION PLANTERS BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

and

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CHICAGO

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of December 28, 1998 between Union Planters Bank, National Association, a national banking association chartered under the laws of the United States (the "Bank") and The First National Bank of Chicago, as the interest calculation agent (the "Calculation Agent," which term shall include any successor thereto).

WHEREAS, the Bank proposes to issue and sell on a continuous basis floating rate senior and subordinated bank notes ("Floating Rate Notes") and fixed rate senior and subordinated bank notes ("Fixed Rate Notes") (the Fixed Rate Notes and Floating Rate Notes are collectively referred to herein as the "Notes") pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement, dated December 28, 1998, (the "Distribution Agreement"), by and among the Bank and the agents named therein (the "Agents,'' such term to include any additional agent that may be appointed by the Bank and described in a written notice to the Agents, the Issuing and Paying Agent (as defined below) and the Calculation Agent) up to such aggregate principal amount as may from time to time be authorized by the Bank to be at any time outstanding;

WHEREAS, the Bank desires to appoint The First National Bank of Chicago, as Calculation Agent and The First National Bank of Chicago, desires to accept such appointment, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED THAT:

    1. Appointment of Calculation Agent. The Bank hereby appoints The First National Bank of Chicago as Calculation Agent with respect to any Floating Rate Notes to be issued by the Bank under the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement. The Calculation Agent hereby accepts its appointment as an independent party for the purposes of calculating the interest rate of, and the amount of interest payable on, the Floating Rate Notes, for each interest accrual period, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

    2. Calculation of Interest Rate Bases. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate of, and the amount of interest payable on, the Floating Rate Notes for each interest accrual period and shall communicate the same to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent upon the terms and conditions contained herein. The Bank shall cause the Issuing and Paying Agent to provide the Calculation Agent with not less than two (2) but not more than seven (7) Business Days' notice of the Interest Determination Date (as defined in the applicable Floating Rate Note) with respect to which a particular Floating Rate Note calculation is to be made by the Calculation Agent, and the Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuing and Paying Agent of such Floating Rate Note calculation on or before the applicable Calculation Date (as defined in the Floating Rate Note) and shall confirm such calculation in writing within twenty-four (24) hours after so notifying the Issuing and Paying Agent.
      1. In no event shall the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes be less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, or higher than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, designated in the applicable Floating Rate Note and related pricing supplement (each, a "Pricing Supplement"), and in no event shall the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes be higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
      2. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the amount of interest payable on each Floating Rate Note in the manner and at the times set forth in each such Floating Rate Note.
      3. The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any holder of a Floating Rate Note, provide the interest rate then in effect, and the interest rate which will become effective as a result of a determination made on the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note.
    3. Status of Calculation Agent. Any acts taken by the Calculation Agent under this Agreement or in connection with any Floating Rate Notes, including, specifically, but without limitation, the calculation of any interest rate for a Floating Rate Note, shall be deemed to have been taken by the Calculation Agent solely in its capacity as an agent acting on behalf of the Bank and shall not create or imply any obligation to, or any trust or agency relationship with, any of the owners or holders of the Floating Rate Notes.
    4. Fees and Expenses. The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to such compensation for its services under this Agreement as may be agreed upon with the Bank, and the Bank shall pay such compensation and shall reimburse the Calculation Agent for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred or made by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the services rendered by it under this Agreement upon receipt of such invoices as the Bank may reasonably require.
    5. Rights and Liabilities of the Calculation Agent. From time to time, the Bank will furnish the Calculation Agent with a written list of the names of officers of the Bank authorized to give instructions and notices on behalf of the Bank hereunder (each, an "Instructing Representative"). The Calculation Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for, or in respect of, any action taken or omitted to be taken, or suffered by it in reliance upon any Floating Rate Note or written instruction, notice, request, direction, order, certificate, consent, report, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties. Any instruction, notice, request, direction, order, certificate, consent, report, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication from the Bank or given by it and sent, delivered or directed to the Calculation Agent under, pursuant to, or as per mitted by, any provision of this Agreement shall be sufficient for purposes of this Agreement if such instruction, notice, request, direction, order, certificate, consent, report, affidavit, statement, or other paper, document, communication or comment is in writing and signed by an Instructing Representative. The Calculation Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements expressed therein, upon any order, written instruction, notice, request, direction, certificate, consent, report, affidavit, statement, or other paper, document or communication, reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine, from the Bank or given by it and sent, delivered or directed to the Calculation Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement, and the Calculation Agent shall be protected in acting upon any such order, written instruction, notice, request, direction, certificate, consent, report, affidavit, statement, or other paper, document or communication. The Calculation Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall constitute full and complete authorization and protection of the Calculation Agent with respect to any action taken, omitted to be taken, or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with and in reliance upon the advice of such counsel. The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any error resulting from the use of or reliance on a source or publication required to be used by any Floating Rate Note, this Agreement or any other document. Neither the Calculation Agent nor its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys shall be liable to the Bank or any other party for any act or omission hereunder, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by it or them except in the case of negligence or willful misconduct. No party shall be liable for any default resulting from force majeure, which shall be deemed to include any circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the party affec ted.

    7. Termination, Resignation or Removal of the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may at any time terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent specifying the date on which the desired resignation shall become effective (the "Effective Date"); provided that such notice shall be given not less than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the Effective Date unless the Calculation Agent, the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent otherwise agree in writing. The Bank may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written notice to the Calculation Agent and specifying the Effective Date of such termination which shall be at least twenty (20) days after the date of such notice and shall not be less than forty-five (45) days prior to the next Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination by either the Calculation Agent or the Bank shall become effective prior to the date of the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and the acce ptance of such appointment by such successor Calculation Agent as provided in Section 8 hereof. Upon termination by either party pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the payment of any compensation owed to it by the Bank hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder, as provided by Section 4 hereof. The provisions of Sections 5, 9 and 13 hereof shall remain in full force and effect following termination by either party.
    8. Appointment of Successor Calculation Agent. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Bank shall promptly appoint a successor Calculation Agent whose appointment shall become effective as of the Effective Date. Any successor Calculation Agent appointed by the Bank and approved by the Issuing and Paying Agent following termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, shall execute and deliver to the original Calculation Agent, the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent an instrument accepting such appointment. Thereupon, such successor Calculation Agent shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of the Calculation Agent and with like effect as if originally named as Calculation Agent hereunder, and the original Calculation Agent shall thereupon be obligated to transfer and deliver such relevant records or copies thereof maint ained by the Calculation Agent in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder. Upon the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment the Calculation Agent so superseded shall cease to be such Calculation Agent hereunder. In the event of termination of this Agreement by the Calculation Agent or the Bank pursuant to Section 7 hereof, if a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed by the Bank by the Effective Date of such termination, the Calculation Agent may, at the expense of the Bank, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Calculation Agent. Any successor Calculation Agent so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Calculation Agent appointed as provided above within one year from the date of the appointment by such court.

EX-4 6 ex4c.htm ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR UNION PLANTERS BANK, N.A. Union Planters Corp Exhibit 4c Administrative Procedures for Union Planters Bank, NA Bank Notes

AMENDED AND RESTATED ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES

FOR FIXED RATE AND FLOATING RATE SENIOR
AND SUBORDINATED BANK NOTES

With maturities from 30 days to 30 years

(Dated as of December 28, 1998)

Short-Term Senior Bank Notes ("Short-Term Senior Notes") and Medium-Term Senior Bank Notes ("Medium-Term Senior Notes," and together with the Short-Term Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes") and Subordinated Bank Notes ("Subordinated Notes," and together with the Senior Notes, the "Notes") are to be offered on a continuous basis for sale by Union Planters Bank, National Association, a national banking association chartered under the laws of the United States (the "Bank") through each of Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated who, as agents (each, an "Agent" and, collectively, the "Agents"), will utilize its reasonable efforts on an agency basis to solicit offers to purchase the Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof. If agreed to by the Bank and the applicable Agent, such Agen t will purchase the Notes, as principal from the Bank for resale to investors and other purchasers at varying prices relating to prevailing market prices at the time of resale as determined by the applicable Agent or, if so specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, for resale at a fixed public offering price. Only those provisions in these Amended and Restated Administrative Procedures that are applicable to the particular role that an Agent will perform shall apply.

The Notes are being sold pursuant to an amended and restated distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement"), dated as of December 28, 1998, among the Bank, the Parent and the Agents. The Distribution Agreement provides both for the sale of Notes by the Bank to the Agents as principal for resale to investors and other purchasers and for the sale of Notes by the Bank through the Agents as agents and not as principal in which case the Agents will act as agents of the Bank in soliciting Note purchases. The Notes will be issued pursuant to an amended and restated issuing and paying agency agreement (the "Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement"), dated as of December 28, 1998, between the Bank and The First National Bank of Chicago as issuing and paying agent (the "Issuing and Paying Agent"). As used herein, the term "Offering Circular" refers to the most recent offering circular, as such document may be amended or supplemented, which has been prepared by the Bank for use by the Agents in connection with th e offering of the Notes.

The Notes will be issued in book-entry form (each beneficial interest in a global Note, a "Book-Entry Note" and collectively, the "Book-Entry Notes") and represented by one or more fully registered global Notes (each, a "Global Note" and, collectively, the "Global Notes") delivered to the Issuing and Paying Agent, as agent for The Depository Trust Company, as depositary ("DTC," which term includes any successor thereof), and recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC. Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Note are exchangeable for definitive Notes in registered form, of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount, by the owners of such Book-Entry Notes only upon certain limited circumstances described in the Offering Circular and the applicable Global Note.

In connection with the qualification of Book-Entry Notes for eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by DTC, the Issuing and Paying Agent will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below, in accordance with its respective obligations under the Letters of Representations from the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent to DTC, dated December 28, 1998, and a Certificate Agreement, in the case of Short-Term Senior Notes, dated October 12, 1990, and in the case of Medium-Term Senior Notes and Subordinated Notes, dated May 26, 1989, each, between the Issuing and Paying Agent and DTC (the "Certificate Agreement"), and its obligations as a participant in DTC, including DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System ("SDFS").

Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Notes.

Date of Issuance/

Authentication: Each Note will be dated as of the date of its authentication by the Issuing and Paying Agent. Each Note shall also bear an original issue date (the "Original Issue Date"), which shall be the settlement date for such Note. The Original Issue Date shall remain the same for all Notes subsequently issued upon transfer, exchange or substitution of an original Note regardless of their dates of authentication.

Maturities: Each Short-Term Senior Note will mature on a date (the "Maturity Date") selected by the purchaser and agreed to by the Bank which is not less than 30 days and not more than one year from its Original Issue Date, as selected by the initial purchaser and agreed to by the Bank; and each Medium-Term Senior Note will have a Maturity Date selected by the purchaser and agreed to by the Bank which is from more than one year to not more than 30 years from its Original Issue Date; and each Subordinated Note will have a Maturity Date selected by the purchaser and agreed to by the Bank which is from five years to not more than 30 years from its Original Issue Date; provided, however, that Floating Rate Notes will mature on an Interest Payment Date.

Registration: Notes will be issued only in fully registered form.

Calculation of Interest: Unless otherwise specified therein and in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest (including payments for partial periods) on Fixed Rate Notes having maturities of greater than one year will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Unless otherwise specified therein and in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest on Fixed Rate Notes having maturities of one year or less will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days of the year divided by 360 and will be payable only at maturity. Unless otherwise specified therein and in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest on Floating Rate Notes will be calculated and paid on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 in the case of CD Rate Notes, Commercial Paper Rate Notes, Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Notes, Federal Funds Rate Notes, LIBOR Notes, J.J. Kenny Rate Notes, Prime Rate Notes, and by the actual number of days in the year divided by 365 or 366, as the case may be, in the case of CMT Rate Notes and Treasury Rate Notes.

Redemption/Repayment: The Notes will be subject to redemption by the Bank on and after their respective Initial Redemption Dates, if any; provided, further, that, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Global Bank Note, Subordinated Notes may not be redeemed prior to maturity, either pursuant to an acceleration in the event of a default or otherwise, without the prior written approval of the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States (the "Comptroller"); provided, however, that a Subordinated Note that is redeemable at the option of the Bank prior to its Maturity Date may be so redeemed without the prior approval of the Comptroller if the Bank would remain an "eligible bank," as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 5.3(g) (or any successor regulatory provision) after such redemption unless the Comptroller has notified the Bank that such prior approval is required or such prior approval is otherwise required by law. Initial Redemption Dates, if any, will be fixed at the t ime of sale and set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement and in the applicable Note. If no Initial Redemption Dates are indicated with respect to a Note, such Note will not be redeemable prior to its Maturity Date.

The Notes will be subject to repayment at the option of the holders thereof in accordance with the terms of the Notes on their respective Holder's Optional Repayment Dates, if any; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified in the applicable Global Bank Note, Subordinated Notes may not be repaid prior to their Maturity Date, either in whole or in part, without the prior written approval of the Comptroller; provided, further, that a Subordinated Note which is repayable at the option of the holder thereof prior to its Maturity Date may be so repaid without the prior approval of the Comptroller if the Bank would remain an "eligible bank," as defined in 12 C.F.R. section 5.3(g) (or any successor regulatory provision) after such repayment unless the Comptroller has notified the Bank that such prior approval is required or such prior approval is otherwise required by law. Holder's Optional Repayment Dates, if any, will be fixed at the time of sale and set forth in the applica ble Pricing Supplement and in the applicable Note, and in the case of a Subordinated Note, will not be earlier than five years after the Original Issue Date of such Subordinated Note. If no Holder's Optional Repayment Dates are indicated with respect to a Note, such Note will not be repayable at the option of the holder prior to its Maturity Date.

Acceptance and

Rejection of Offers: When the Agent is soliciting offers to purchase the Notes, the Bank shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Notes and may reject any such offer, in whole or in part. Each Agent shall promptly communicate to the Bank, orally, each offer to purchase Notes solicited by such Agent on an agency basis, other than those offers rejected by the Agent. Each Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Bank, to reject any proposed purchase of Notes through it, in whole or in part.

Preparation of Pricing

Supplement: If any offer to purchase a Note is accepted by the Bank, the Bank, with the approval of the Agent which presented such offer (the "Presenting Agent"), will prepare a Pricing Supplement reflecting the terms of such Note.

Procedure for Changing Rates

or Other Variable Terms: When the Agents are soliciting offers to purchase the Notes from the Bank and a decision has been reached to change the interest rate or any other variable term on any Notes being sold by the Bank, the Bank will promptly advise the Agents and the Agents will forthwith suspend solicitation of offers to purchase such Notes. The Agents will telephone the Bank with recommendations as to the changed interest rates or other variable terms. At such time as the Bank advises the Agents of the new interest rates or other variable terms, the Agents may resume solicitation of offers to purchase such Notes. Until such time, only "indications of interest" may be recorded. Immediately after acceptance by the Bank of an offer to purchase at a new interest rate or new variable term the Bank and the Presenting Agent shall follow the procedures set forth under the applicable "Settlement Procedures.''

Suspension of Solicitation;

Amendment or Supplement: While the Agents are soliciting offers to purchase Notes from the Bank, the Bank may instruct the Agents to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes at any time. Upon receipt of such instructions, the Agents will forthwith suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes from the Bank until such time as the Bank has advised them that solicitation of offers to purchase may be resumed. If the Bank decides to amend the Offering Circular (including incorporating any documents by reference therein) or supplement any of such documents (other than to change rates or other variable terms), it will immediately notify, with confirmation in writing to follow, the Agents and will furnish the Agents and their counsel with copies of the proposed amendment (including any document proposed to be incorporated by reference therein) or supplement; provided, however, that the Bank shall be required to provide such notice and copies only to the extent that it is required t o do so pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement. One copy of such proposed amendment or supplement will be delivered or mailed to the Agents at the following respective addresses: Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Seven World Trade Center, 31st Floor, New York, New York 10048, (212) 783-5889, telecopier (212) 783-2274, Attention: Medium-Term Note Group; Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, 277 Park Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, New York 10172, (212) 892-2677, telecopier (212) 892-8244, Attention: Roger Thomson, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., Two World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048, (212) 323-8471, telecopier (212) 323-8347, Attention: Joseph A.

In the event that at the time the solicitation of offers to purchase from the Bank is suspended (other than to change interest rates, maturities, prices or other similar variable terms with respect to the Notes) there shall be any offers to purchase Notes that have been accepted by the Bank which have not been settled, the Bank will promptly advise the Agents whether such offers may be settled and whether copies of the Offering Circular, as theretofore amended and/or supplemented, as in effect at the time of such suspension may be delivered in connection with the settlement of such orders. The Bank will have the sole responsibility for such decision and for any arrangements which may be made in the event that the Bank determines that such orders may not be settled or that copies of such Offering Circular may not be so delivered.

Delivery of Offering Circular: A copy of the most recent Offering Circular and Pricing Supplement must accompany or precede the earlier of (a) the written confirmation of a sale sent to a customer or his agent and (b) the delivery of Notes to a customer or his agent.

Authenticity of Signatures: The Agents will have no obligations or liability to the Bank or the Issuing and Paying Agent in respect of the authenticity of the signature of any officer, employee or agent of the Bank or the Issuing and Paying Agent on any Note.

Documents Incorporated

by Reference: The Bank shall supply the Agents with an adequate supply of all documents incorporated by reference in the Offering Circular.

Business Day: "Business Day" means, with respect to any Note, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or in the city in which the Bank is headquartered are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close, and with respect to LIBOR Notes only, any day that is a London Business Day. "London Business Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

Issuance: All Fixed Rate Notes of the Bank issued in book-entry form having the same Original Issue Date, Interest Rate, Interest Payment Dates, Regular Record Dates, Default Rate, Maturity Date, redemption and/or repayment terms, if any, original issue discount terms, if any, and otherwise having identical terms and provisions (collectively, the "Fixed Rate Terms") will be represented initially by a single Global Note in fully registered form; and all Floating Rate Notes of the Bank issued in book-entry form having the same Original Issue Date, interest rate basis upon which interest may be determined (each, an "Interest Rate Basis"), which may be the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, the J.J. Kenny Rate, LIBOR, the Prime Rate, the Treasury Rate, and any other rate set forth by the Bank in a Floating Rate Note, Initial Interest Rate, Index Maturity, Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, Regular Record Dates, Maximum I nterest Rate, if any, Minimum Interest Rate, if any, Interest Payment Dates, Interest Payment Period, Interest Reset Dates, Interest Reset Period, the Designated LIBOR Page, if any, the Designated CMT Maturity Index and the Designated CMT Telerate Page, if any, Calculation Agent, Default Rate, Maturity Date, redemption or repayment terms, if any, original issue discount terms, if any, and otherwise having identical terms and provisions, (collectively, the "Floating Rate Terms") will be represented initially by a single Global Note.

Identification: The Bank has arranged with the CUSIP Service Bureau of the Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (the "CUSIP Service Bureau") for the reservation of one series of CUSIP numbers assignable to Senior Notes with maturities of more than one year, one series of CUSIP numbers assignable to Senior Notes with maturities of 30 days or more up to and including one year, and one series of CUSIP numbers assignable to Subordinated Notes, each of which series consists of approximately 900 CUSIP numbers which have been reserved for and relate to Global Notes, and the Bank has delivered to DTC such list of such CUSIP numbers. The Issuing and Paying Agent will assign CUSIP numbers to Global Notes as described below under Settlement Procedure C. DTC will notify the CUSIP Service Bureau periodically of the CUSIP numbers that the Issuing and Paying Agent has assigned to the Global Notes. The Issuing and Paying Agent will notify the Bank at any time when fewer than 100 of the reserved CUSIP numbers of any series remain unassigned to Global Notes and, if it deems it necessary, the Bank will reserve additional CUSIP numbers of such series for assignment to Global Notes. Upon obtaining such additional CUSIP numbers, the Bank will deliver a list of such additional numbers to the Issuing and Paying Agent and DTC. Book-Entry Notes having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $200,000,000 and otherwise required to be represented by the same Global Note will instead be represented by two or more Global Notes which shall all be assigned the same CUSIP number.

Registration: Unless otherwise specified by DTC, each Global Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, on the register maintained by the Issuing and Paying Agent. The owner of a Book-Entry Note (i.e., an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note) (or one or more indirect participants in DTC designated by such owner) will designate one or more participants in DTC (with respect to such Book-Entry Note, the "Participants") to act as agent for such beneficial owner in connection with the book-entry system maintained by DTC, and DTC will record in book-entry form, in accordance with instructions provided by such Participants, a credit balance with respect to such Book-Entry Notes in the account of such Participants. The ownership interest of such beneficial owner in such Global Note will be recorded through the records of such Participants or through the separate records of such Participants and one or more indirect participants in DTC.

Transfers: Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by Participants (and in certain cases, one or more indirect participants in DTC) acting on behalf of beneficial transferors and transferees of such Global Note.

Exchanges: The Issuing and Paying Agent may deliver to DTC and the CUSIP Service Bureau at any time a written notice specifying (a) the CUSIP numbers of two or more Global Notes outstanding on such date that represent Notes having the same Fixed Rate Terms or Floating Rate Terms, as the case may be (other than Original Issue Dates), and for which interest has been paid to the same date; (b) a date, occurring at least 30 days after such written notice is delivered and at least 30 days before the next Interest Payment Date for the related Book-Entry Notes, on which such Global Notes shall be exchanged for one or more replacement Global Notes; and (c) a new CUSIP number, obtained from the Issuing and Paying Agent, to be assigned to such replacement Global Note. Upon receipt of such notice, DTC will send to its Participants a written reorganization notice to the effect that such exchange will occur on such date. Prior to the specified exchange date, the Issuing and Paying Agent will deliver to the CUSIP Se rvice Bureau written notice setting forth such exchange date and the new CUSIP number and stating that, as of such exchange date, the CUSIP numbers of the Global Notes to be exchanged will no longer be valid. On the specified exchange date, the Issuing and Paying Agent will exchange such Global Notes for a single Global Note bearing the new CUSIP number, and the CUSIP numbers of the exchanged Global Notes will, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be cancelled and not immediately reassigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Global Notes to be exchanged exceed $200,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, one replacement Global Note will be authenticated and issued to represent each $200,000,000 of principal amount of the exchanged Global Notes and an additional Global Note or Global Notes will be authenticated and issued in exchange for any remaining principal amount of such exchanged Global Notes representing such Book-Entry Notes (see "Denominations" below).

Denominations: All Book-Entry Notes will be denominated in U.S. dollars. Book-Entry Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Global Notes representing Book-Entry Notes will be denominated in principal amounts not in excess of $200,000,000. If one or more Book-Entry Notes having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $200,000,000 would, but for the preceding sentence, be represented by a single Global Note, then one Global Note will be issued to represent each $200,000,000 principal amount of such Book-Entry Note or Notes and an additional Global Note or Global Notes will be issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such Book-Entry Notes. In such case, each of the Global Notes representing such Book-Entry Notes shall be assigned the same CUSIP number.

Interest: General. Interest on each Book-Entry Note will accrue from the Original Issue Date or the most recent Interest Payment Date for which interest has been paid. Each payment of interest on a Book-Entry Note shall include interest accrued through the day preceding, as the case may be, the Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment. Interest payable on the Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of a Book-Entry Note will be payable to the holder to whom the principal of such Book-Entry Note is payable. DTC will arrange for each pending deposit message described under Settlement Procedure D below to be transmitted to the Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, which will use the information in the message to include certain terms of the related Book-Entry Note in the appropriate daily bond report published by the Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.

Regular Record Dates. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date for a Fixed Rate Book-Entry Note with a maturity of greater than one year shall be the May 1 or November 1 next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest on a Fixed Rate Book-Entry Note with a maturity of one year or less will be payable only at maturity to the person to whom principal shall be payable. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date for a Floating Rate Book-Entry Note shall be the date 15 calendar days (whether or not a Business Day) prior to such Interest Payment Date.

Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments will be made on each Interest Payment Date commencing with the first Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date; provided, however, that the first payment of interest on any Note originally issued between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date will be made on the second Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date. If any Interest Payment Date of a Fixed Rate Book-Entry Note falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the related payment of interest on such Fixed Rate Book-Entry Note shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date. If any Interest Payment Date with respect to any Floating Rate Book-Entry Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be the next succeeding Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Book-Entry Note, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.

Fixed Rate Book-Entry Notes. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest payments on Fixed Rate Book-Entry Notes having maturities of greater than one year will be payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year and on the Maturity Date. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, interest on Fixed Rate Book-Entry Notes having maturities of one year or less will be payable only at maturity.

Floating Rate Notes. Interest payments on Floating Rate Book-Entry Notes will be made as specified in the Floating Rate Book-Entry Note.

Notice of Interest Payments and Regular Record Dates. On the first Business Day after any Regular Record Date, the Issuing and Paying Agent will deliver to DTC a written list of Regular Record Dates and Interest Payment Dates that will occur during the six-month period beginning on such first Business Day with respect to Floating Rate Book-Entry Notes. Promptly after each Interest Determination Date for Floating Rate Book-Entry Notes, the Issuing and Paying Agent will notify the Standard & Poor's Ratings Services of the interest rates determined on such Interest Determination Date.

Payments of Principal and Interest: Payments of Interest Only. Promptly after each Regular Record Date, the Issuing and Paying Agent will deliver to the Bank and DTC a written notice specifying by CUSIP number the amount of interest to be paid on each Book-Entry Note on the following Interest Payment Date (other than an Interest Payment Date coinciding with the Maturity Date) and the total of such amounts. DTC will confirm the amount payable on each Book-Entry Note on such Interest Payment Date by reference to the daily bond reports published by the Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. On such Interest Payment Date, the Bank will pay to the Issuing and Paying Agent, and the Issuing and Paying Agent in turn will pay to DTC, an amount sufficient to pay the total amount of interest then due and owing (other than on the Maturity Date), at the times and in the manner set forth below under "Manner of Payment.''

Payments on the Maturity Date. On or about the first Business Day of each month, the Issuing and Paying Agent will deliver to DTC a written list of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, each Book-Entry Note maturing on any Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment in the following month. The Issuing and Paying Agent and DTC will confirm the amounts of such principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, a Book-Entry Note on or about the fifth Business Day preceding the Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of such Book-Entry Note. On such Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, the Bank will pay to the Issuing and Paying Agent, and the Issuing and Paying Agent in turn will pay to DTC, the principal amount of such Book-Entry Note, together with interest and premium, if any, due on such Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, at the times and in the manner set forth below under "Manner of Payment." If any Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of a Book-Entry Note falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such Book-Entry Note shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment were due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be. Promptly after payment to DTC of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on, the Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of all Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Note, the Issuing and Paying Agent will cancel such Global Note and deliver such Global Note to the Bank with an appropriate debit advice. On the first Business Day of each month, the Issuing and Paying Agent will deliver to the Bank a written statement indicating the total principal amount of outstanding Global Notes as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day.

Manner of Payment. The total amount of any principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, Book-Entry Notes due on any Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment shall be paid by the Bank to the Issuing and Paying Agent in immediately available funds available for use by the Issuing and Paying Agent no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date.

The Bank will make such payment on such Book-Entry Notes by instructing the Issuing and Paying Agent to withdraw funds from an account maintained by the Bank at the Issuing and Paying Agent. The Bank will confirm such instructions in writing to the Issuing and Paying Agent. Upon receipt of such funds, the Issuing and Paying Agent will pay by separate wire transfer (using message entry instructions in a form previously specified by DTC) to an account previously specified by DTC, in funds available for immediate use by DTC, each payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, a Book-Entry Note on such date. Thereafter on such date, DTC will pay, in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect, such amounts in funds available for immediate use to the respective Participants in whose names Book-Entry Notes are recorded in the book-entry system maintained by DTC. Neither the Bank nor the Issuing and Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for the payment by DTC of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Book-Entry Notes to such Participants.

Withholding Taxes. The amount of any taxes required under applicable law to be withheld from any interest payment on a Book-Entry Note will be determined and withheld by the Participant, indirect participant in DTC or other person responsible for forwarding payments and materials directly to the beneficial owner of such Book-Entry Note.

Settlement Procedures

Timetable: For offers to purchase Book-Entry Notes accepted by the Bank, Settlement Procedures A through K set forth above shall be completed as soon as possible. However, all information on sales settling one day or more after the Trade Date will be transmitted to DTC no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Settlement Date.

If a sale is to be settled on the same Business Day as the Trade Date, Settlement Procedure A shall be completed no later than 11:00 a.m. on such Business Day, Settlement Procedure C shall be completed no later than 12:00 p.m. on such Business Day and Settlement Procedure D shall be completed no later than 1:00 p.m. on such Business Day.

If a sale is to be settled more than one Business Day after the Trade Date, Settlement Procedures A and B must be completed no later than 4:00 p.m. on the Trade Date and Settlement Procedures C and D may, if necessary, be completed at any time on the first Business Day after such Trade 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 cancelled, the Issuing and Paying 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., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Settlement Date.

Failure to Settle: If the Issuing and Paying Agent fails to enter an SDFS deliver order with respect to a Book-Entry Note pursuant to Settlement Procedure G, then the Issuing and Paying Agent may deliver to DTC, through DTC's Participant Terminal System, as soon as practicable a withdrawal message instructing DTC to debit such Book-Entry Note to the participant account of the Issuing and Paying Agent maintained at DTC. DTC will process the withdrawal message, provided that such participant account contains a principal amount of the Global Note representing such Book-Entry Note that is at least equal to the principal amount to be debited. If withdrawal messages are processed with respect to all Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Note, the Issuing and Paying Agent will mark such Global Note "cancelled," make appropriate entries in its records and return such Global Note to the Bank. The CUSIP number assigned to such Global Note shall, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be ca ncelled and not immediately reassigned. If withdrawal messages are processed with respect to some of the Book-Entry Notes represented by a Global Note, the Issuing and Paying Agent will exchange such Global Note for two Global Notes, one of which shall represent the Book-Entry Notes for which such withdrawal messages are processed and shall be cancelled immediately after issuance, and the other of which shall represent the other Book-Entry Notes previously represented by the surrendered Global Note and shall bear the CUSIP number of the surrendered Global Note.

In the case of any Book-Entry Note sold through an Agent, acting as agent, if the purchase price for any Book-Entry Note is not timely paid to the Participants with respect to such Book-Entry 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 applicable Agent may enter SDFS deliver orders through DTC's Participant Terminal System reversing the orders entered pursuant to Settlement Procedures G and H, respectively. Thereafter, the Issuing and Paying Agent will deliver the withdrawal message and take the related actions described in the preceding paragraph. If such failure shall have occurred for any reason other than default by the applicable Agent to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Distribution Agreement, the Bank will reimburse such Agent on an equitable basis for its loss of the use of funds during the period when the funds were credited to the account of the Bank.

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 a Book-Entry Note that was to have been represented by a Global Note also representing other Book-Entry Notes, the Issuing and Paying Agent will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedure E, for the authentication and issuance of a Global Note representing such remaining Book-Entry Notes and will make appropriate entries in its records.

Issuing and Paying Agent

Not to Risk Funds: Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Issuing and Paying Agent to risk or expend its own funds in connection with any payment to the Bank, DTC, the Agents or the purchaser, it being understood by all parties that payments made by the Issuing and Paying Agent to the Bank, DTC, the Agents or the purchaser shall be made only to the extent that funds are provided to the Issuing and Paying Agent for such purposes.

If no Default Rate is specified above, the Default Rate shall be the Interest Rate on this Senior Note specified above. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the person in whose name this Senior Note (or any predecessor Senior Note) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date, which shall be the June 1 and December 1 (whether or not a Business Day (as defined below)), as the case may be, next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (each, a "Regular Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if applicable, will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the holder as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Senior Note (or any predecessor Senior Note) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest (the "Special Record Date") to be fixed by the Bank, notice of which shall be given to the holders of Senior Notes not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner.

Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note will be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Bank will at all times appoint and maintain an issuing and paying agent (the "Issuing and Paying Agent," which term shall include any successor Issuing and Paying Agent), authorized by the Bank to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note on behalf of the Bank pursuant to an issuing and paying agency agreement (the "Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement") and having an office or agency (the "Issuing and Paying Agent Office") in The City of New York or in the city in which the Bank is headquartered (the "Place of Payment"), where this Senior Note may be presented or surrendered for payment and where notices, designations or requests in respect of payments with respect to this Senior Note may be served.

The Bank may remove the Issuing and Paying Agent pursuant to the terms of the Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement and may appoint a successor Issuing and Paying Agent.

Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note due at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if applicable, will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Senior Note to the Issuing and Paying Agent at the Issuing and Paying Agent Office; provided that this Senior Note is presented to the Issuing and Paying Agent in time for the Issuing and Paying Agent to make such payment in accordance with its normal procedures. Payments of interest on this Senior Note (other than at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment) will be made by wire transfer to such account as has been appropriately designated to the Issuing and Paying Agent by the person entitled to such payments.

This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Bank Notes of the Bank due from 30 days to 30 years from date of issue (the "Senior Notes").

Payments of interest hereon will include interest accrued from and including the date of issue to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on Senior Notes with maturities of greater than one year will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on Senior Notes with maturities of one year or less will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 and will be payable only at maturity to the person to whom principal shall be payable.

Any provision contained herein with respect to the calculation of the rate of interest applicable to this Senior Note, its Interest Payment Dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so specified on the face hereof.

If any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Senior Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be. "Business Day" means, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that in The City of New York or in the city in which the Bank is headquartered is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

This Senior Note will not be subject to any sinking fund. If so provided on the face of this Senior Note, this Senior Note may be redeemed by the Bank either in whole or in part on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof. If no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this Senior Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. On and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Senior Note may be redeemed in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the option of the Bank at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued hereon at the applicable rate borne by this Senior Note to the date of redemption (each such date, a "Redemption Date"), on written notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holder hereof. Whenever less than all the Senior Notes at any time outstanding are to b e redeemed, the terms of the Senior Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Bank. If less than all the Senior Notes with identical terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Senior Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Issuing and Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it. In the event of redemption of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof of the principal amount of this Senior Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, of the principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount.

This Senior Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof in accordance with the terms hereof on any Holder's Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof. If no Holder's Optional Repayment Date is specified on the face hereof, this Senior Note will not be repayable at the option of the holder hereof prior to maturity. On any Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Senior Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof will be at least $250,000) at the option of the holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with accrued and unpaid interest hereon payable to the date of repayment. For this Senior Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the holder hereof on a Holder's Optional Repayment Date, this Senior Note must be delivered, with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" attached hereto duly completed, to the Issuing and Paying Agent at its offices located at 1 Bank One Plaza, Suite IL1-0823, Chicago, Illinois 60670-0823, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at 55 Water Street, 1st Floor, Jeanette Park Entrance, New York, New York 10041, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or at such other address which the Bank shall from time to time notify the holders of the Senior Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to such Holder's Optional Repayment Date. In the event of repayment of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note for the unrepaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable.

If this Senior Note is an Original Issue Discount Note and if an Event of Default with respect to this Senior Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the Default Amount (as defined hereafter) of this Senior Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided herein. The "Default Amount" shall be equal to the adjusted issue price as of the first day of the accrual period as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-1(b) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in which the date of acceleration occurs increased by the daily portion of the original issue discount for each day in such accrual period ending on the date of acceleration, as determined under Final Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b) (or successor regulation) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Upon payment of (i) the principal, or premium, if any, so declared due and payable and (ii) interest on any overdue princi pal and overdue interest or premium, if any (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Bank's obligations in respect of the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note shall terminate.

In case any Senior Note shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, and such Senior Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent and such other documents or proof as may be required by the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be delivered to the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Bank shall issue a new Senior Note, of like tenor and principal amount, having a serial number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Senior Note or in lieu of the Senior Note destroyed, lost or stolen but, in the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent that such Senior Note was destroyed, stolen or lost, and, if required, upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent. Upon the issuance of any substituted Senior Note, the Bank and the Issuing and Paying Agent ma y require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover all expenses and reasonable charges connected with the preparation and delivery of a new Senior Note. If any Senior Note which has matured or has been redeemed or repaid or is about to mature or to be redeemed or repaid shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Bank may, instead of issuing a substitute Senior Note, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Senior Note) upon compliance by the holder with the provisions of this paragraph.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Senior Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, against any shareholder, employee, agent, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Bank or of any successor corporation, banking association or other legal entity (collectively, "corporation"), either directly or through the Bank or any corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Bank with any other corporation or successive consolidations or mergers in which the Bank or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of the property of the Bank as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other corporation authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however (and the Bank hereby covenants and agrees) that any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance shall be upon the condition that: (i) immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance the corporation (whether the Bank or such other corporation) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or the corporation to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall not be in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Senior Note to be observed or performed by the Bank; and ( ii) the corporation (if other than the Bank) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or the corporation to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall be organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, and upon the assumption by the successor corporation of the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants in this Senior Note to be performed or observed by the Bank, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Bank with the same effect as if it had been named in this Senior Note as the Bank and thereafter the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants in this Senior Note and may be liquidated and dissolved.

Any action by the holder of this Senior Note shall bind all future holders of this Senior Note, and of any Senior Note issued in exchange or substitution herefor or in place hereof, in respect of anything done or permitted by the Bank or by the Issuing and Paying Agent in pursuance of such action.

The Issuing and Paying Agent shall maintain at its offices a register (the register maintained in such office or any other office or agency of the Issuing and Paying Agent in The City of New York, herein referred to as the "Senior Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall provide for the registration of the Senior Notes and of transfers of the Senior Notes (in such capacity, the "Senior Notes Registrar").

This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Bank Notes of the Bank due from 30 days to 30 years from date of issue (the "Senior Notes").

Payments of interest hereon will include interest accrued from and including the date of issue to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on Senior Notes with maturities of greater than one year will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on Senior Notes with maturities of one year or less will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 and will be payable only at maturity to the person to whom principal shall be payable.

Any provision contained herein with respect to the calculation of the rate of interest applicable to this Senior Note, its Interest Payment Dates or any other matter relating hereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so specified on the face hereof.

If any Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment of this Senior Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, this Senior Note shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be. "Business Day" means, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that in The City of New York or in the city in which the Bank is headquartered is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

If no Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, this Senior Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. On and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Senior Note may be redeemed in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $250,000) at the option of the Bank at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued hereon at the applicable rate borne by this Senior Note to the date of redemption (each such date, a "Redemption Date"), on written notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holder hereof. Whenever less than all the Senior Notes at any time outstanding are to b e redeemed, the terms of the Senior Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Bank. If less than all the Senior Notes with identical terms at any time outstanding are to be redeemed, the Senior Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Issuing and Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it. In the event of redemption of this Senior Note in part only, a new Senior Note for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof of the principal amount of this Senior Note to be redeemed and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof, of the principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount.

This Senior Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the holder hereof in accordance with the terms hereof on any Holder's Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof.

EX-10 8 ex10a.htm 2002 SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN Union Planters Corp. Exhibit 10A - 2002 Senior Management Performance Incentive Plan

Union Planters Corporation

2002 Senior Management performance Incentive Plan


  1. Purpose. The purpose of the Union Planters Corporation 2002 Senior Management Performance Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is to promote the interests of the shareholders of Union Planters Corporation (the "Company") by providing an incentive to senior executives and key officers of the Company and subsidiaries of the Company who can contribute most to the short-term growth and profitability of the Company. It is intended that incentive awards paid under the Plan fall within the "performance-based compensation" exception contained in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Tax Code").
  2. Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall be effective as of January 1, 2002, if approved by the shareholders on April 18, 2002.
  3. Plan Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Salary and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company ("Committee") whose members shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors. It is intended that the directors appointed to serve on the Committee shall be "outside directors" (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Tax Code and the regulations thereunder) and that any such members of the Committee who do not so qualify shall abstain from participating in any decision to make or administer awards under the Plan. The Committee shall adopt such rules of procedure as it may deem proper. The powers of the Committee shall include plenary authority to interpret the Plan, and subject to the provisions hereof, to determine the persons who are eligible to receive awards under the Plan, the terms of any awards, the Corporate Financial Criteria, Performance Goals, and other criteria applicable to such awar ds, and the extent to which the Company and the Participants in the Plan have achieved the performance goals. The Committee shall have the power, in its sole and complete discretion, to reduce the amount of or eliminate any award under the Plan, but the Committee shall have no power to increase any award that has been calculated pursuant to the provisions of this Plan.
  4. Eligibility. All senior executives and key officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries are eligible for participation in the Plan. Actual participation in the Plan for the Plan Year will be limited to and awards may be granted under the Plan to those senior executives and key officers of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company who, in the judgment of the Committee, have an identifiable impact upon the growth and profitability of the Company and who are selected for participation in the Plan for the Plan Year by the Committee. Determination by the Committee of the senior executives and key officers who will participate in the Plan for the Plan Year shall be conclusive.
  5. Awards. Prior to or within 90 days after the commencement of each calendar year (the "Plan Year"), the Committee shall designate the following:
    1. The senior executives and key officers, if any, who will participate (the "Participants") in the Plan for the Plan Year.
    2. The Corporate Financial Criteria, as defined herein, which will apply to awards for the Plan Year and the weighting of the Corporate Financial Criteria.
    3. The Performance Goals, as defined herein, to be met by the Company for Participants to earn awards for the Plan Year and a payout matrix or grid or formula for such Corporate Financial Criteria and Performance Goals.

    After the period of time specified in the prior sentence, the Committee may designate additional officers and employees who will participate in the Plan for the Plan Year (also "Participants" for purposes hereof); provided, however, that (i) any award earned by such Participant for participation for such partial Plan Year will be pro-rated based on the number of days during the Plan Year in which the Participant participated in the Plan, and (ii) the Performance Goals for the additional Participant are established within the first 25% of the days remaining in the Plan Year.

    A Participant who terminates employment, either voluntarily or involuntarily, before the payment date for awards for the Plan Year that have not been deferred is thereby ineligible for an award under the Plan; provided; however, the Committee may, in its sole and complete discretion, determine to pay an award in the event termination was the result of death or disability of the Participant.

  6. Corporate Financial Criteria. For each Plan Year, the Committee shall designate one or more of the corporate financial criteria ('the "Corporate Financial Criteria") set forth in this Section 6 for use in determining an award for a Participant for such Plan Year. Corporate Financial Criteria designated for any Participant for a Plan Year may be different from those designated for other Participants in the same year. The Committee may specify Corporate Financial Criteria in relation to consolidated Company performance or in relation to performance of identifiable segments, business lines, departments, or subsidiaries of the Company. Corporate Financial Criteria shall consist of any one or more of the following financial measures: (1) book value, (2) earnings per share, (3) market capitalization, (4) net income, (5) price-earnings ratio, (6) return on assets, (7) return on equity, (8) return on revenue, (9) return on capital, (10) changes in working capital, (11) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), (12) EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), (13) cash flow, (14) net profit before tax, (15) gross profit, (16) operating profit, or (17) shareholder return.
  7. Performance Goals. For each Plan Year, the Committee shall establish specific, objective performance goals (the "Performance Goals"), for each of the Corporate Financial Criteria designated by the Committee for the Plan Year against which actual performance is to be measured to determine the amount of awards. Performance Goals established by the Committee may be described by means of a grid or matrix, providing for goals resulting in the payment of awards in such percentages as the Committee may designate of the target award payable to the Participant pursuant to the provisions of this Plan. A Performance Goal may be expressed in any form the Committee determines, including, but not limited to, the following: percentage growth, absolute growth, cumulative growth, performance versus an index, performance versus a peer group, a designated absolute amount, and a per share amount.
  8. Determination and Payment of Awards.
    1. As soon as practicable after the end of the Plan Year, the Committee will determine the amount of the award earned by each Participant, based on application of the criteria specified in this Section 8. Such Committee determination must include a certification in writing that the Performance Goals and any other material terms of the award were in fact satisfied; provided that minutes of the Committee meeting (or any action by written consent) shall satisfy the written certification requirement. Payment will be made promptly after determination of the awards by the Committee unless payment of an award has been deferred pursuant to Section 11.6 hereof. Awards under the Plan shall be payable solely in cash.
    2. For any Participant, the award will be the amount obtained by multiplying the following amounts: (1) annual base salary as of the last day of the Plan Year, (2) a specified percentage (expressed as a decimal) determined by the Committee to apply to the Participant for the Plan Year, and (3) the percentage achievement (expressed as a decimal) of the Performance Goals for the Corporate Financial Criteria designated by the Committee for the Plan Year. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in accordance with provision in Section 3, the Committee shall have the power, in its sole discretion, to reduce or eliminate (but not increase) the award of any Participant.
    3. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum dollar amount that may be awarded for any Plan Year to any Participant may not exceed $2.5 million.

  9. Termination, Suspension or Modification of the Plan. The Board of Directors or the Committee may terminate, suspend or modify the Plan at any time; provided, however, that if a modification of the Plan would require shareholder approval in order to continue to qualify Plan awards as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Tax Code, then such modification may be conditioned on such shareholder approval.. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination, suspension or modification shall affect the payment of an award for a Plan Year already ended. The Committee is expressly permitted to make any modification to the Plan that is required to conform the Plan to the requirements for the "performance-based compensation" exception under Section 162(m) of the Tax Code.
  10. Change in Control.
    1. For purposes of this Plan, a "Change in Control" means the occurrence of any one of the following events:
      1. The acquisition by any individual, entity, or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of 25% or more of either (a) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (b) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection 10.1.1, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (w) any acquisition directly from the Company, (x) any acquisition by the company, (y) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any corporation to a transaction which complies with clauses 10.1.3.1, 10.1.3.2, 10.1.3.3 of subsection 10.1.3 of this Section; or
      2. Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or
      3. Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a "Business Combination"), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination,
        1. all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 65% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding company Voting Securities, as the case may be, and
        2. no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns directly or indirectly, 25% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and
        3. at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination.

    2. Without regard to any contrary provisions of the Plan, if a Change in Control occurs, an award under the Plan shall be paid, or credited to the Participant's deferral account, if applicable, at the time specified below, to each Participant, computed as follows: the award to be paid will be in the form of a lump sum cash amount equal to the product of (i) the Participant's target bonus under the Plan for the Plan Year in which the Change in Conrol occurs, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Plan Year in which a Change in Control occurs through the date of the Change in Control, and the denominator of which is 365. Payment of an award under this Section 10.2 of the Plan shall be made immediately upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 10.1.1, 10.1.2 or 10.1.3 or, in the event the Company has executed an agreement to effectuate a Business Combination which, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control, and if the Chief Executive Of ficer of the Company has indicated in advance a date which he believes in good faith will be the effective date of such Business Combination (the "Anticipated Effective Date"), then payment of an award under this Section 10.2 shall be made three business days prior to the Anticipated Effective Date. If the Plan remains in effect through the end of the Plan Year in which the Change in Control occurs, awards under the Plan for such Plan Year shall be calculated and paid in the manner provided in Section 8 of the Plan, but shall be reduced, dollar for dollar, by any award paid under this Section 10.2 during such Plan Year. In no event will the award payable under this Section 10.2 be reduced as a result of such year-end calculation.

  11. Miscellaneous.
    1. No Assignments. Prior to actually being received by Participant or his/her designated beneficiary, no award under this Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, including without limitation any liability for alimony or other payments for the support of a spouse, former spouse, or any other relative of Participant, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge, garnish, execute, levy or otherwise dispose of any right to such award shall be void.
    2. No Right of Employment. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the determination of eligibility to participate in the Plan nor the granting of an award under the Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or the subsidiary to terminate such employment at any time.
    3. Tax Withholding. With respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan, the Company or any subsidiary shall have the right to to withhold from the award or require the Participant to remit to the Company cash in an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and/or local withholding tax requirements (including the Participant's FICA obligation) prior to the payment of an award hereunder.
    4. Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations under the Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee.
    5. Other Plans. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as limiting the authority of the Committee, the Board of Directors, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to establish any other compensation plan, or as in any way limiting its or their authority to pay bonuses or supplemental compensation to any persons employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, whether or not such person is a Participant in this Plan and regardless of how the amount of such compensation or bonus is determined. However, no such plan will be established or operated in a way that entitles or allows a Participant to receive an award as a substitution or supplement for not achieving goals under this Plan.
    6. Deferrals of Awards. A Participant may elect to defer payment of his/her cash award under the Plan if permitted pursuant to the terms of a deferred compensation program of the Company existing at the time the election to defer is permitted to be made and the Participant complies with the terms of such program. Any such deferred amount will credited either with a reasonable rate of interest or a pre-established actual or phantom investment (such as a notional investment in stock of the Company) pursuant to the terms of the deferred compensation plan as then in effect.
    7. Section 162(m). It is the intention of the Company that all payments made under the Plan shall fall within the "performance-based compensation" exception contained in Section 162(m) of the Tax Code. Thus, unless the Board of Directors expressly determines otherwise and, except for Section 10.2 of the Plan, if any Plan provision is found not to be in compliance with such exception, that provision shall be deemed to be amended so that the provision does comply to the extent permitted by law, and in every event, the Plan shall be construed in favor of its meeting the "performance-based compensation" exception contained in Section 162(m).

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall be appointed by the Board or, at the discretion of the Board from time to time, the Plan may be administered by the Board. The Committee shall consist of two or more members of the Board. It is intended that the directors appointed to serve on the Committee shall be "nonemployee directors" (within the meaning of Rule l6b-3 under the Exchange Act) and "outside directors" (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) and that any such members of the Committee who do not so qualify shall abstain from participating in any decision to make or administer Awards that are made to Eligible Participants who at the time of consideration for such Award are, or who are anticipated to be become, either (i) Covered Employees or (ii) persons subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

In addition to any other powers granted to the Committee, it shall have the following powers subject to the express provisions of the Plan:

3.1 subject to the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 6, and 7, to determine in its sole discretion the Participants to whom Options or Restricted Stock shall be granted or awarded under the Plan, the number of shares which shall be subject to each Award, the terms upon which, the times at which, and the periods within which such Options may be acquired and exercised, and the terms and conditions of Restricted Stock awards;

3.2 to grant Options to, and to award Restricted Stock to, Participants selected by the Committee in its sole discretion;

3.3 to determine all other terms and provisions of each Agreement, which need not be identical;

3.4 without limiting the foregoing, to provide in its sole discretion, in an Agreement:

3.4.1 for an agreement by the Participant to render services to the Company or a Subsidiary upon such terms and conditions as are specified in the Agreement, provided that the Committee shall not have the power to commit the Company or any Subsidiary to employ or otherwise retain any Participant;

3.4.2 for restrictions on the transfer, sale, or other disposition of Common Stock issued to the Participant upon the exercise of an Option or for other restrictions permitted by Section 7 with respect to Restricted Stock:

3.4.3 for an agreement by the Participant to resell to the Company, under specified conditions, Common Stock issued upon the exercise of an Option or awarded as Restricted Stock; and

3.4.4 for the payment of the Option Price upon the exercise of an Option otherwise than in cash, including without limitation by delivery (including constructive delivery) of shares of Common Stock (other than Restricted Stock) valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option, or by a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that if shares of Common Stock that were acquired otherwise than on the open market are used to pay the Option Price, such shares must have been held by the Participant as fully vested shares for at least six months;

3.4.5 for the automatic issuance of a Reload Option for the same number of shares of Common Stock delivered as payment (or partial payment) of the Option Price as provided in Section 3.4.4 above and, to the extent authorized by the Committee, for the number of shares used to satisfy any tax withholding requirement incident to the exercise of an Option as provided for in Section 8. The number of shares covered by a Reload Option shall not exceed (i) the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, surrendered as payment or (ii) the number of shares remaining available for granting under the Plan, whichever shall be less. No Reload Options shall issue to a Participant who exercises any Option pursuant to the terms of this Plan following termination of his employment;

3.5 to require, whether or not provided for in the pertinent Agreement, of any person acquiring or exercising an Option or acquiring Restricted Stock, at the time of such exercise or acquisition, the making of any representations or agreements which the Committee may deem necessary or advisable in order to comply with the securities and tax laws of the United States or of any state;

3.6 to construe and interpret the Agreements and the Plan;

3.7 to make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan; and

3.8 to adopt such modifications, procedures, and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of non-U.S. jurisdictions in which the Company or any Subsidiary may operate, in order to assure the viability of the benefits of Awards granted to Participants located in such other jurisdictions and to meet the objectives of the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Options and Restricted Stock to non-employee directors hereunder shall be made only in accordance with the terms, conditions and parameters of a separate plan or plans for the compensation of non-employee directors of the Company, and the Committee may not otherwise make discretionary Awards hereunder to non-employee directors.

The Board or the Committee may expressly delegate to a special committee consisting of one or more directors who are also officers of the Company some or all of the Committee's authority under Sections 3.1 through 3.4 above with respect to those eligible Participants who, at the time of grant are not, and are not anticipated to be become, either (i) Covered Employees or (ii) persons subject to the insider trading rules of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Any determinations or actions made or taken by the Committee pursuant to this Section shall be binding and final.

4. Eligibility. Participants in the Plan (other than directors) shall be selected by the Committee from among the employees and officers of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Directors shall be Participants in the Plan only in accordance with the terms, conditions and parameters of a separate plan or plans for the compensation of non-employee directors of the Company.

5. Stock Subject to the Plan. As of January 31, 2002, there were remaining available for Awards 4,382,926 shares of the 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized under the Plan. Effective upon the 2002 amendment to the Plan, subject to the following paragraph and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved for Awards shall be 20,000,000 (an increase of 7,000,000 shares) of which not more than 20% may be granted as Awards of Restricted Stock (whether vesting by continued employment or other performance measures). To the extent that awards of Restricted Stock exceed 10% of the shares authorized under the Plan, such Awards in excess of 10% shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of three years, or one year if the vesting is based on performance criteria other than continued employment. Any Common Stock distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Common Stock, treasury stock o r Common Stock purchased on the open market. To the extent that an Award is canceled, terminates, expires, is forfeited or lapses for any reason, any shares of Common Stock subject to the Award will again be available for the grant of an Award under the Plan.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary (but subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9), (i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to one or more Options that may be granted during any one calendar year under the Plan to any one Participant shall be 1,500,000, and (ii) the maximum Fair Market Value (measured as of the Date of Grant) of any Awards of Restricted Stock that may be received by any one Participant (less any consideration paid by the Participant for such Award) during any one calendar year under the Plan shall be $8,000,000.

6. Options.

6.1 Evidence of Grant. Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Agreement, which shall indicate whether the Option is intended to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option or an Incentive Stock Option. Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to a non-employee director.

6.2 Option Price. The Option Price shall be determined by the Committee and specified in the Agreement, but the Option Price shall not be less than the greater of 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock determined as of the Date of Grant or the par value of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the Option Price of a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the Date of Grant if: (i) the Participant has entered into an agreement with the Company, pursuant to which the grant of the Option is in lieu of the payment of compensation; and (ii) the amount of such compensation when added to the Option Price equals at least 100% of the Fair Market Value as of the Date of Grant of the shares subject to the Option.

6.3 Option Period. The Option Period shall be determined by the Committee and specifically set forth in the Agreement; provided, however, than an Option shall not be exercisable after ten years from the Date of Grant.

6.4 Vesting. The vesting schedule for an Option shall be determined by the Committee and specifically set forth in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the stated vesting schedule, (i) in the event of a Change in Control of the Company all Options granted under the Plan shall become fully vested, and (ii) in the event, prior to a Change in Control, of the death, Disability, or Normal Retirement of a Participant, or a Participant's termination of employment by the Company without Cause, all Options granted to such Participant shall become fully vested.

6.5 Exercise.

6.5.1 An Option shall, subject to the provisions of the Agreement under which it was granted, be exercised in whole or in part by the delivery to the Company of written notice of the exercise, in such form as the Committee may prescribe, accompanied by full payment for the Common Stock with respect to which the Option is exercised. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation, cash, shares of Common Stock, or other property (including "cashless exercise" arrangements); provided, however, that if shares of Common Stock that were acquired otherwise than on the open market are used to pay the Option Price, such shares must have been held by the Participant as fully vested shares for at least six months.

6.5.2 Upon the death of a Participant, any Option exercisable on the date of death may be exercised by the Participant's estate or by a person who acquires the legal right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance or otherwise, provided that such exercise occurs within the remaining Option Period. The provisions of this Section shall apply notwithstanding the fact that the Participant's employment may have terminated prior to death, but only to the extent of any Options exercisable on the date of death.

6.6 Transferability.

6.6.1 Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant.

6.6.2 Nonstatutory Stock Options granted under the Plan shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, except as provided by the Committee and specified in the Agreement or thereafter. In the event of the assignment or transfer of a Nonstatutory Option, the assignee or transferee shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Option as evidenced by this Plan which would otherwise apply to the Participant. The Option shall not be assignable or transferable by such assignee or transferee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during such individual's lifetime only by such individual.

6.7 Special Rules for Incentive Stock Options.

6.7.1 All Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall comply with the provisions of the Code governing incentive stock options, and with all other applicable rules and regulations.

6.7.2 To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the date the Option is granted) of Common Stock with respect to which an Incentive Stock Option is exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

6.7.3 Notwithstanding the designation of an Option in an Agreement as an Incentive Stock Option, under current federal tax laws and regulations the tax treatment available pursuant to Section 422 of the Code upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option is not available to a Participant who exercises any Incentive Stock Option more than (i) 12 months after the date of termination of employment due to Disability or (ii) three months after the date of termination of employment for any reason other than Disability or death.

6.8 Option Deferrals. The Committee may permit the Participant to defer the issue or transfer of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued or transferred to such Participant upon exercise of the Option. Such deferral shall be at a time, in an amount, and in a manner that is in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee.

7. Restricted Stock Awards.

7.1 Terms of Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted Stock awards under the Plan shall consist of shares of Common Stock granted to a Participant that are restricted against transfer, subject to forfeiture, and subject to other terms and conditions intended to further the purpose of the Plan as determined by the Committee. Restricted Stock awards shall be evidenced by Agreements containing provisions setting forth the terms and conditions governing such awards. Each such Agreement for Restricted Stock must contain the following:

7.1.1 prohibitions against the sale, assignment, transfer, exchange, pledge, hypothecation, or other encumbrance of (i) the shares awarded as Restricted Stock, (ii) the right to vote such shares, and (iii) the right to receive dividends thereon during the restriction period applicable to such shares; provided, however, that the Participant shall have all the other rights of a shareholder including, but not limited to, the right to receive dividends and the right to vote such shares;

7.1.2 at least one term, condition, or restriction constituting a "substantial risk of forfeitures" as defined in Section 83(c) of the Code;

7.1.3 such other terms, conditions, and restrictions as the Committee in its discretion chooses to apply to the stock (including, without limitation, provisions creating additional substantial risks of forfeiture);

7.1.4 the applicable period or periods of any terms, conditions, or restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock; provided, however, that the Committee in its discretion may accelerate the expiration of the applicable restriction period with respect to any part or all of the shares awarded to a Participant; and

7.1.5 the terms and conditions upon which any restrictions upon shares of Restricted Stock awarded shall lapse and new certificates free of the foregoing legend shall be issued to the Participant or his legal representative.

7.2 Evidence of Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, registration by book entry. If certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, such as the following:

"This certificate and shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture and restrictions against transfer) contained in the Union Planters Corporation Amended and Restated 1992 Stock Incentive Plan and an Agreement entered into between the registered owner and Union Planters Corporation. Release from such terms and conditions shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Agreement, a copy of each of which is on file with Union Planters Corporation."

7.3 Automatic Vesting in Certain Events. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, (i) in the event of a Change in Control of the Company all awards of Restricted Stock under the Plan shall become fully vested, and (ii) in the event, prior to a Change in Control, of the death, Disability, or Normal Retirement of a Participant, all awards of Restricted Stock granted to such Participant shall become fully vested.

7.4 Restricted Stock Deferrals. The Committee may permit the Participant to defer the receipt of Common Stock upon the vesting of an award of Restricted Stock. Such deferral shall be at a time, in an amount, and in a manner that is in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Committee.

8. Withholding Taxes. With respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan, the Company or any Subsidiary shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company cash or Common Stock in an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and/or local withholding tax requirements (including the Participant's FICA obligation) prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such shares. Alternatively, the Company may issue or transfer such shares of Common Stock net of the number of shares sufficient to satisfy the minimum required withholding tax requirements (but not more than such minimum). For withholding tax purposes, the shares of Common Stock shall be valued on the date the withholding obligation is incurred. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, all Participants shall have the right under the Plan to elect to pay withholding taxes in cash, to have shares of Common Stock withheld (but not for more than the minimum withholding obligation), or t o deliver previously owned shares to satisfy withholding tax requirements; provided, however, that if shares of Common Stock that were acquired otherwise than on the open market are used to satisfy withholding obligations in excess of the minimum withholding obligation, such shares must have been held by the Participant as fully vested shares for at least six months.

9. Capital Adjustments. In the event of a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the authorization and other share limits under Section 5 of the Plan shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee may adjust Awards to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the Awards. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the Option Price of outstanding Awards; and (iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. In addition, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that Awards will be settled in cash rather than Common Stock, (ii) that Awards will become immedia tely vested and exercisable and will expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then exercised, (iii) that Awards will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Award, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee's determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Any adjustment determined to be appropriate by the Committee pursuant to this Section 9 shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon the Participant. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event a stock dividend or stock split is declared upon the Common Stock, the authorization and other share limits u nder Section 5 shall be increased proportionately, and the shares of Common Stock then subject to each Award shall be increased proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor.

10. Termination of Employment. Whether military, government or other service or other leave of absence shall constitute a termination of employment shall be determined in each case by the Committee at its discretion, and any determination by the Committee shall be final and conclusive. A termination of employment shall not occur (i) in a circumstance in which a Participant transfers from the Company to one of its Subsidiaries, or transfers from one Subsidiary to another Subsidiary, or (ii) in the discretion of the Committee as specified at or prior to such occurrence, in the case of a spin-off, sale or disposition of the Participant's employer from the Company or any Subsidiary. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to extend beyond three months from the date a Participant is deemed to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary for purposes of Section 424(f) of the Code, the Options held by such Participant shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options.

11. Qualified Performance-Based Awards.

11.1 Options. The provisions of the Plan are intended to ensure that all Options granted hereunder to any Covered Employee qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption, provided that the Option Price therefor is greater than or equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the Date of Grant.

11.2 Restricted Stock; Qualified Performance Criteria. When granting any Restricted Stock Award, the Committee may (but need not) designate such Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, based upon a determination that the recipient is or may be a Covered Employee with respect to such Award, and the Committee wishes such Award to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption. If an Award is so designated, the Committee shall establish performance goals for such Award within the time period prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code based on one or more of the following Qualified Performance Criteria, which may be expressed in terms of Company-wide objectives or in terms of objectives that relate to the performance of a Subsidiary or a division, region, department or function within the Company or a Subsidiary: (1) book value, (2) earnings per share, (3) market capitalization, (4) net income, (5) price-earnings ratio, (6) return on assets, (7) return on equity, (8) return on revenue, (9) return on c apital, (10) changes in working capital, (11) EBITDA (earnings before interest, depreciation, taxes and amortization), (12) EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), (13) cash flow, (14) net profit before tax, (15) gross profit, (16) operating profit, or (17) shareholder return.

11.3 Establishment of Performance Goals. Each Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than an Option) shall be earned, vested and payable (as applicable) only upon the achievement of performance goals established by the Committee based upon one or more of the Qualified Performance Criteria, together with the satisfaction of any other conditions, such as continued employment, as the Committee may determine to be appropriate; provided that (i) the Committee may provide, either in connection with the grant thereof or by amendment thereafter, that achievement of such performance goals will be waived upon the Participant's death, Disability, Normal Retirement or termination of employment without Cause, and (ii) the provisions of Section 7.3 shall apply notwithstanding this sentence.

11.4 Certification of Performance. Any payment of a Qualified Performance-Based Award granted with performance goals shall be conditioned on the written certification of the Committee in each case that the performance goals and any other material conditions were satisfied. Except as specifically provided in Section 11.3 above, no Qualified Performance-Based Award may be amended, nor may the Committee exercise any discretionary authority it may otherwise have under the Plan with respect to a Qualified Performance-Based Award under the Plan, in any manner to waive the achievement of the applicable performance goal based on Qualified Performance Criteria or to increase the amount payable pursuant thereto or the value thereof, or otherwise in a manner that would cause the Qualified Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption.

11.5 Section 162(m) Award Limits. Section 5 above sets forth the maximum number of Options and the maximum dollar value of Restricted Stock Awards that may be granted under the Plan to a Participant in any one-year.

12. Termination or Amendment. The Board or the Committee shall have the power to terminate the Plan and to amend it in any respect, provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board or the Committee, either (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants, (ii) materially increase the number of Shares issuable under the Plan, or (ii) materially modify the requirements for eligibility, then such amendment shall be subject to shareholder approval. Unless required by applicable law or governmental regulations, no termination or amendment of the Plan shall adversely affect the rights or obligations of the holder of any Option or Restricted Stock granted under the Plan without his consent.

13. Modification and Substitution of Awards. Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award without approval of the Participant; provided, however, that (i) subject to the terms of the applicable Agreement, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Participant's consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination; (ii) the original term of any Option may not be extended without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company; and (iii) except as otherwise provided in Section 9, the Option Prices of outstanding Options may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Options may, at the discretion of the Committee, be gra nted under this Plan in substitution for options to purchase shares of capital stock of another corporation which is merged into, consolidated with, or all or a substantial portion of the property or stock of which is acquired by, the Company or a Subsidiary. The terms and conditions of the substitute options so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan to such extent as the Committee may deem appropriate in order to conform, in whole or in part, to the provisions of the options in substitution for which such Options are granted. Such Options shall not be counted toward the annual share limit set forth in the last paragraph in Section 5, except to the extent it is determined by the Committee that counting such Options is required in order for the grants of such Options hereunder to be eligible to qualify as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and the rules and regulations thereunder.

14. Effectiveness and Term of the Plan. Following adoption by the Board on February 20, 1992, the Plan first became effective on April 23, 1992, the date its was approved by the shareholders of the Company. The Plan was scheduled to expire on February 20, 2002. However, as of February 19, 2002, the Board approved the Amended and Restated Plan in its current form, subject to approval of the shareholders at the 2002 Annual Meeting. If so approved by the shareholders, the Amended and Restated Plan will be reinstated as of the date of the 2002 Annual Meeting and will expire on the tenth anniversary of such date, unless sooner terminated by the Board pursuant to Section 12 hereof. No Options or Restricted Stock may be granted between February 20, 2002 and the date that the shareholders approve the Amendment and Restated Plan at the 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The termination of the Plan on any date shall not affect the validity of any Option or Restricted Stock outstanding on the date of termination.

Any subsequent Plan amendments which require shareholder approval pursuant to Section 13 are subject to approval by vote of the shareholders of the Company within 12 months after their adoption by the Board. Subject to such approval, any such amendments shall be effective on the date on which they are adopted by the Board. Options and Restricted Stock which are dependent upon shareholder approval of a Plan amendment may be granted prior to such approval, but shall be subject to such approval. The date on which any Option or Restricted Stock grant dependent upon shareholder approval of a Plan amendment is effective shall be the Date of Grant for all purposes as if the Option or Restricted Stock grant had not been subject to such approval; however, no Option or Restricted Stock granted may be exercised prior to such shareholder approval.

15. Indemnification of Committee. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or of the Committee, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Option or Restricted Stock granted or awarded hereunder, and against all amounts reasonably paid by them in settlement thereof or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, if such members acted in good faith and in a manner which they believed to be in, and not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

16. General Provisions.

16.1 No Non-Express Rights. The establishment of the Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any legal or equitable right against the Company or the Committee except as expressly provided in the Plan.

16.2 No Employment Rights. The Plan does not constitute inducement or consideration for the employment of any Participant, nor is it a contract between the Company and any Participant. Participation in the Plan shall not give any employee or officer any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any director the right to continue to serve as a director. The Company retains the right to hire and discharge any Participant at any time, with or without cause, as if the Plan had never been adopted.

16.3 No Alienation of Rights. The interests of any Participant under the Plan are not subject to the claims of creditors and may not in any way be assigned, alienated, or encumbered.

16.4 Governing Law and Interpretation. The Plan shall be governed, construed, and administered in accordance with the laws of the state of Tennessee and in accordance with the intention of the Company that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan qualify as such under Section 422 of the Code, and that Options granted under the Plan to officers and directors who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act qualify as exempt transactions under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3.

16.5 Compliance. Each award under the Plan shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine that (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or (ii) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body, or (iii) an agreement by the Participant with respect to the disposition of shares of Common Stock is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such award or the issue or purchase of shares of Common Stock thereunder, such award may not be consummated in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval, or agreement shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.
