(b) Neither any members of, nor participants in, DTC (the “Participants”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Participants may act (including Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, and accountholders and participants therein) shall have any rights under this Indenture Supplement with respect to any Global Note, and DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Bank, the SPC, the Indenture Trustee and any agent thereof as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued in exchange for such Global Notes pursuant to Section 2.7 (i) the Bank, the SPC, the Indenture Trustee and any agent thereof may deal with DTC and its nominee for all purposes (including the making of distributions on the Global Notes) as the authorized representatives of Note Owners holding beneficial interests in such Global Notes and (ii) the rights of such Note Owners shall be exercised only through DTC and its nominee (or indirectly through Participants) and shall be limited to those established by Applicable Law and agreements between such Note Owners and DTC and such nominee (or between Note Owners and Participants). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Bank, the SPC or the Indenture Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the DTC or such nominee or impair, as between DTC, the Participants and any other Persons on whose behalf a Participant may act, the operation of the customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Series 2007-1 Noteholder.

(c) The Series 2007-1 Notes offered and sold in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act shall be issued in the form of a single, temporary Global Note in fully registered form, without interest coupons, registered in the name of DTC or its nominee and deposited with the Indenture Trustee, as custodian of DTC, for credit to the respective accounts at DTC of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg. Until such time as the Distribution Compliance Period shall have terminated, a Series 2007-1 Note offered and sold in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act shall be referred to herein collectively as a “Temporary Regulation S Note.” After the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, Note Owners may transfer their beneficial interests in the Temporary Regulation S Note for beneficial interests in an unrestricted note that shall be issued in the form of a single, permanent Global Note in fully registered form without interest coupons (the “Permanent Regulation S Note”) upon certification that such Note Owner is not a “U.S. Person” within the meaning of Rule 902 of the Securities Act or upon certification that such Note Owner is a U.S. Person who purchased its interest in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act. The aggregate principal

balance of the Temporary Regulation S Note or the Permanent Regulation S Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Indenture Trustee, as custodian for DTC, in connection with a corresponding decrease or increase in the aggregate principal balance of the Rule 144A Note, as provided in Section 2.5.

(d) The Series 2007-1 Notes offered and sold in their initial distribution in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act shall be issued in the form of a single, permanent Global Note in fully registered form, without interest coupons, registered in the name of DTC or its nominee and deposited with the Indenture Trustee, as custodian of DTC (the “Rule 144A Note”). The aggregate principal balance of the Rule 144A Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Indenture Trustee, as custodian for DTC, in connection with a corresponding decrease or increase in the aggregate principal balance of the Temporary Regulation S Note or the Permanent Regulation S Note, as provided in Section 2.5.

(e) The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Note Owner that is a member of (or a participant in) DTC or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC (or its nominee) or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Series 2007-1 Notes or with respect to the delivery of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Series 2007-1 Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to the Series 2007-1 Notes. The Indenture Trustee may rely (and shall be fully protected in relying) upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

SECTION 2.4 Notices to Depositary. Whenever notice or other communication to the Series 2007-1 Noteholders is required under the Indenture or this Indenture Supplement, the SPC and the Indenture Trustee (subject to Sections 2.9 and 10.7 of the Indenture) shall be required to give all such notices and communications specified herein only to DTC (or its nominee) and other Series 2007-1 Noteholders.

If for any reason either such agent shall cease to be available to act as such (including by reason of the failure of such agent to maintain an office in New York City), then each of the SPC and the Bank, as the case may be, agrees to designate a new agent in New York City on the terms and for the purposes of this Section. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Bank or the SPC to serve any such legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or to obtain jurisdiction over the other party or bring actions, suits or proceedings against it in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by Applicable Law.

(c) To the extent that either the Bank or the SPC has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or execution, on the ground of sovereignty or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder.
