Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (f/k/a Bankers Trust Company), a New York banking corporation (the “Trustee”), and The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation (the “Bank”).


WITNESSETH:


     WHEREAS, the Issuer has entered into an Indenture, dated as of May 25, 2001 (the “Indenture”), with the Trustee, pursuant to which the Issuer may issue its unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences
of indebtedness to be issued in one or more series (the “Securities”) up to such principal amount or amounts as may from time to time be authorized in accordance with the terms thereof;


     WHEREAS, the Issuer wishes to appoint the Bank as paying agent, registrar and transfer agent under the Indenture;


     WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Trustee wish to appoint the Bank as Authenticating Agent under the Indenture;


     WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this Agreement a valid agreement according to the terms of the Indenture have been done;


     NOW, THEREFORE, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bank, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:


     SECTION 1. Paying Agent. (a) Appointment. In accordance with and subject to Section 3.04 of the Indenture, the Issuer hereby appoints the Bank, and the Bank hereby accepts such appointment, to act, on the
terms and conditions specified herein, as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) in connection with any series of Securities issued under the Indenture, unless the parties hereto otherwise agree to the contrary.


     (b) Availability of Funds. The Issuer shall assure that funds are available to the Paying Agent not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on or prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on the
Securities of any series, in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the principal of, and interest on, each of the Securities of such series (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) as the case
may be. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. When used









herein, the terms “principal” and “interest” shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 1.01 of the Indenture.





     (c) Application of Funds; Return of Unclaimed Funds. Until used or applied as herein provided and except as otherwise provided in the terms of any series of Securities, all funds made available to the Paying
Agent hereunder shall be held for the purposes for which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Any moneys remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after the date on which such
principal, interest or additional amounts shall have become due and payable shall, upon written request of the Issuer, be repaid to the Issuer.


     (d) Agreements with the Trustee. The Paying Agent shall (i) hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Securities of such series (whether such sums have been
paid to it by the Issuer or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series or the Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, and (ii) give the Trustee notice of any failure
by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities when the same shall be due and payable.


     (e) No Agency Relationship. In acting under this Agreement or in connection with any series of Securities issued under the Indenture, the Paying Agent is acting solely as agent of the Issuer and shall not assume
any relationship of agency or trust for or with any Securityholder, except that all funds held by the Bank for payment of principal of or interest on the Securities shall be held in trust by it and applied to payments of the Securities subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the terms of the Security.



     SECTION 2. Registrar and Transfer Agent. (a) Appointment. The Issuer hereby appoints the Bank, and the Bank hereby accepts such appointment, to act, on the terms and conditions specified herein, as
registrar and transfer agent (the “Registrar and Transfer Agent”) in connection with any series of Securities issued under the Indenture, unless the parties hereto otherwise agree to the contrary.


     (b) Rights and Obligations. The Registrar and Transfer Agent shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to the registration and transfer of any series of Securities that the Issuer has outstanding,
as provided under Sections 2.08 and 3.02 of the Indenture.


     SECTION 3. Authenticating Agent. (a) Appointment. In accordance with and subject to Section 6.13 of the Indenture, the Issuer and the Trustee hereby appoint the Bank, and the Bank hereby accepts such
appointment, to act, on the terms and conditions specified herein, as authenticating agent (the 

2










 “Authenticating Agent”) on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities, including Securities issued upon exchange, registration of
transfer, partial redemption or pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Indenture, unless the parties hereto otherwise agree to the contrary.


     (b) Representation and Warranty. The Authenticating Agent hereby represents and warrants that it is, and at all times during which this Agreement is in effect will be (i) a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, (ii) authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) an institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000 (determined as
provided in Section 6.09 of the Indenture with respect to the Trustee) and (iv) subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.


     (c) Authorized Representatives. From time to time the Issuer will furnish the Authenticating Agent with a certificate or similar form of evidence of the Issuer demonstrating the incumbency of officers authorized
to execute Securities and Issuer Orders on behalf of the Issuer (an “Authorized Representative”). Until the Authenticating Agent receives a subsequent incumbency certificate or similar form of evidence of the Issuer, the
Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to rely on the last such certificate or similar form of evidence delivered to it for purposes of determining the Authorized Representatives.


     (d) Reliance on an Issuer Order. The Authenticating Agent shall incur no liability to the Issuer in acting hereunder on instructions which the recipient believed in good faith to have been given by an Authorized
Representative.


     SECTION 4. Liability. Neither the Bank nor its officers or employees shall be liable for any act or omission hereunder except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties and obligations of
the Bank, its officers and employees shall be determined by the express provisions of this Agreement and they shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth herein and no implied covenants
shall be read into this Agreement against them. The Bank may consult with counsel and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith in reliance on the advice of counsel. Neither the Bank nor its officers or employees shall be required
to ascertain whether any issuance or sale of Securities (or any amendment or termination of this Agreement) has been duly authorized or is in compliance with any other agreement to which the Issuer is a party (whether or not the Bank is also a party
of such other agreement).


     SECTION 5. Indemnification. The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank, its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all liabilities (including liability for penalties),
losses, claims, damages, 


3










actions, suits, judgments, demands, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) relating to or arising out of or in connection with its or their performance under this Agreement, except to the extent
that they are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank. The foregoing indemnity includes, but is not limited to, any action taken or omitted in good faith within the scope of this Agreement upon telephone, telecopier or other
electronically transmitted instructions, if authorized herein, received from or believed by the Bank in good faith to have been given by an Authorized Representative. In no event shall the Bank be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss
or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Bank has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of
the Bank and the satisfaction or termination of this Agreement.



     SECTION 6. The Trustee. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, in its capacity as Trustee hereunder shall be afforded all of the rights, powers, immunities and indemnities set forth in the Indenture as if such
