 Exhibit 4.3 
 EXECUTION VERSION 
 AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORPORATION 

AMENDED AND RESTATED ISSUING AND PAYING AGENCY AGREEMENT 
 WHEREAS, in connection with the offering by American Honda Finance Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”), of its Medium Term Notes, the Company entered into a Medium Term
Note Amended and Restated Issuing and Paying Agency Agreement dated as of August 26, 2011 (the “Predecessor Agreement”) with The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as issuing and paying agent; 

WHEREAS, this Agreement (as defined below) amends and restates the Predecessor Agreement in its entirety; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to further amend the Predecessor Agreement and to restate the Predecessor Agreement in its entirety to read as follows: 
 THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of August 27, 2012 (the “Agreement”), is entered into by the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as issuing and paying agent (the “Issuing and
Paying Agent”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Notes, the Private Placement Agreement (each as hereinafter defined) or the Offering Memorandum dated August 27, 2012 (the
“Offering Memorandum”). 
 SECTION 1. Appointment of Issuing and Paying Agent. 

(a) The Company issues and sells, from time to time, notes with maturities of nine months or more from date of issue in an aggregate
principal amount such that the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time is not greater than US $25,000,000,000 (or the equivalent based on the applicable exchange rate at the time of issuance, in such foreign currencies or foreign currency
units as the Company shall designate at the time of issuance) (or such greater aggregate principal amount as the Company may authorize from time to time pursuant to a resolution adopted by its Board of Directors) evidencing one or more obligations
of the Company (each a “Note” and together the “Notes”), which Notes have been and are to be issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Company has
appointed Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Barclays Capital Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs &
Co., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc., Mizuho Securities USA Inc., RBS Securities Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as the placement agents for such Notes (each, a “Placement
Agent” and, together, the “Placement Agents”), pursuant to an Amended and Restated Private Placement Agreement dated as of August 27, 2012 (the “Private Placement Agreement”), among the Company and the
Placement Agents (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time). 
 The Company hereby appoints the Issuing and
Paying Agent to act, on the terms and conditions specified herein and in the Amended and Restated Medium Term Note Administrative Procedures for Privately-Placed Medium Term Notes dated as of August 27, 2012 (as the same

 
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, with the consent of the Issuing and Paying Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditional or delayed, the
“Procedures”), as Issuing and Paying Agent for the Notes, and the Issuing and Paying Agent hereby accepts such appointment on such terms and conditions. 
 (b) For the purposes of this Agreement: 
  

	 	(i)	“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; 

  

	 	(ii)	“FATCA” means Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations, administrative guidance and official interpretations promulgated
thereunder; 

  

	 	(iii)	“IRS” means the U.S. Internal Revenue Service; 

  

	 	(iv)	“Noteholder FATCA Information” means information sufficient to eliminate the imposition of U.S. withholding tax under FATCA; 

 

	 	(v)	“Noteholder Tax Identification Information” means properly completed and signed tax certifications (generally, in the case of U.S. Federal Income Tax, IRS
Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a person that is a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code or the appropriate IRS Form W-8 (or applicable successor form) in the case of a
person that is not a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code); and 

  

	 	(vi)	“U.S. Withholding Agent” means the person or entity constituting and obligated to perform the duties of a “Withholding Agent” with respect to
payments on the Notes within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(16) of the Code. 

 Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Offering Memorandum or the Code, as the case may be. 
 SECTION 2. Note Forms; Signature; Calculation Agent. 
 The Notes may be
issued in fully registered book-entry form and represented by a master global security without coupons (each a “Global Security,” and together with a “Temporary Global Security” and a “Permanent Global
Security” (each as defined below, the “Global Securities”) or in definitive registered certificated form (“Certificated Notes”) in accordance with the instructions of the Company delivered pursuant to
Section 4(a) hereof. A Global Security may represent one or any number of individual Notes. The Global Security shall be registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee, and shall be delivered by
the Issuing and Paying Agent to DTC or pursuant to DTC’s instructions. 
 The Global Securities and Certificated Notes will
be substantially in the forms (both Fixed Rate (as defined below) and Floating Rate (as defined below)) attached as exhibits to the Offering Memorandum, or in such other forms as may be provided to the Issuing and Paying

  
 2 

 
Agent by the Company from time to time. The Company shall not issue any Notes that are not in substantially the forms attached as exhibits to the Offering Memorandum until the Company has
received confirmation from the Issuing and Paying Agent that the proposed form is acceptable to it, which confirmation shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Notes will be denominated in US Dollars in minimum denominations
of US $200,000 and in integral multiples of US $1,000 in excess thereof (or the equivalent based on the applicable exchange rate at the time of issuance, in such foreign currencies or foreign currency units as the Company shall designate at the time
of issuance). Each Global Security and Certificated Note shall bear a legend in substantially the form set out in the exhibits to the Offering Memorandum. 
 On the date hereof, the Company will furnish the Issuing and Paying Agent with the Global Securities and forms of the Certificated Notes (both Fixed Rate and Floating Rate forms). Such Global Securities
and forms of Certificated Notes will bear facsimile signatures of Authorized Representatives included in Group I of Exhibit A hereto. Upon receipt of such Global Securities and forms of Certificated Notes, an Authorized Individual or
Authenticating Representative (as such terms are defined in Section 23 hereof) of the Issuing and Paying Agent shall acknowledge receipt of such Global Securities and forms of Certificated Notes on a form of receipt submitted by the Company.

 Notes offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be issued in fully
registered book-entry form and will initially be represented by a master Global Security without coupons, substantially in the form attached as an exhibit to the Offering Memorandum (a “Temporary Global Security”). The Notes offered
and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall be deposited with the Issuing and Paying Agent for and registered in the name of Cede & Co. or a nominee of the DTC for the account of Euroclear and
Clearstream. Beneficial interests in each Temporary Global Security may be held only through Euroclear and Clearstream. Interest in a Temporary Global Security will be exchangeable for interest in a permanent Global Security in fully registered
book-entry form without coupons (a “Permanent Global Security”) similarly deposited with a custodian for DTC, on or after the fortieth (40th) day after the completion of the distribution of the relevant Series or class of Notes
(the “Exchange Date”) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13(g) hereof. The Permanent Global Security shall be deposited with the Issuing and Paying Agent and registered in the name of Cede & Co. or
a nominee of the DTC. 
 The Notes will bear interest at either fixed rates (“Fixed Rate”) or at floating rates
(“Floating Rate”) and shall have maturities of not less than nine months from the date of issue. However, Notes will not be issued with a term in excess of 30 years without the Company first obtaining and delivering an opinion of
counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agent or Placement Agents to or through which such Notes are to be sold, to the effect that such Notes will be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

The interest rate and the amount of interest payable on the Notes bearing interest at a Floating Rate shall be calculated by the
Calculation Agent pursuant to the Calculation Agreement. The Issuing and Paying Agent will provide the Calculation Agent with not less than two but no more than seven Business Days’ notice of each Interest Determination Date with respect to
which a calculation with respect to any Notes bearing interest at a Floating Rate is to be made by the Calculation Agent. 

  
 3 

 The Issuing and Paying Agent will hold the Global Securities and forms of the Certificated
Notes in safekeeping. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1 hereof, the principal amount of Global Securities and Certificated Notes outstanding at any time hereunder shall in aggregate not exceed US $25,000,000,000 (or the equivalent based
on the applicable exchange rates at the time of issuance of such Notes). The Issuing and Paying Agent may base its determination of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time solely on the Note Register (as such term is defined
in Section 13(a) hereof) and on information received from the Company. The Issuing and Paying Agent may disregard any instructions to complete a Note represented by a Global Security, and authenticate and deliver a Certificated Note, if the
Issuing and Paying Agent reasonably concludes that the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding will exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized by the Company to be issued at such date. 

SECTION 3. Authorized Representatives. 
 The Company hereby certifies that each person named in Exhibit A hereto is a duly authorized representative of the Company and that the signature set forth opposite such representative’s name
is his true and genuine signature (each such representative and each other representative as to which the Company may hereafter so certify in writing being referred to herein as an “Authorized Representative”). Each time Exhibit
A hereto is modified by the Company, the Company shall automatically make the foregoing certification to the Issuing and Paying Agent as to Exhibit A as so modified. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the
information set forth in Exhibit A for purposes of determining an Authorized Representative until such time as the Issuing and Paying Agent receives a subsequent certificate in the form of Exhibit A from the Company replacing the then
current certificate provided by the Company to the Issuing and Paying Agent. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall not have any responsibility to the Company to determine whether any signature on a Global Security or Certificated Note purporting to be
that of an Authorized Representative in Group I of Exhibit A is genuine, so long as the Issuing and Paying Agent determines that such signature reasonably resembles the specimen signature set forth in Group I of Exhibit A or in
a subsequent then-current certificate delivered to the Issuing and Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall not have any responsibility to the Company to determine by whom or by what means a facsimile
signature may have been affixed to any Global Security or Certificated Note, or to determine whether any facsimile signature set forth on Exhibit A is authorized. Any Global Security or Certificated Note bearing the signature of a person who
is an Authorized Representative in Group I of Exhibit A on the date he signs such Global Security or Certificated Note shall be a binding obligation of the Company upon the completion and authentication thereof by the Issuing and
Paying Agent, notwithstanding that such person shall have ceased to be an Authorized Representative on the date such Note is completed, authenticated or delivered by the Issuing and Paying Agent. 

SECTION 4. Completion, Authentication and Delivery of Notes. 

(a) From time to time, an Authorized Individual of the Issuing and Paying Agent shall receive instructions from an Authorized
Representative included in Group II on Exhibit A hereto regarding the completion of a Global Security or the authentication and delivery of a Certificated Note. Such Authorized Representative shall also deliver a copy of the Pricing

  
 4 

 
Supplement applicable to the Global Security or Certificated Note to which such instructions relate, to arrive no later than 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the second Business Day preceding the
Settlement Date. The Issuing and Paying Agent may rely on such instructions if they are received by one of the Authorized Individuals of the Issuing and Paying Agent or its affiliate named in Exhibit B hereto, or their successors which may be
named by the Issuing and Paying Agent (of which the Company shall be notified in writing) from time to time through the use of a facsimile transmission from any person purporting to be any of the individuals included in Group II on Exhibit
A hereto. Such instructions shall include the information called for by Item A set forth in Part II or Part III, as applicable, of the Procedures under the caption “Settlement Procedures.” As used herein, the term “Pricing
Supplement” refers to (i) a document accompanying and supplementing the Offering Memorandum with respect to the terms of one or more Notes being sold (including a pricing term sheet and/or pricing supplement) or (ii) the
confirmation if such document is not delivered in connection with the sale of a Note. 
 (b) By 1:00 P.M., New York City time,
on the Business Day (as defined below) following timely receipt of the information called for in Section 4(a) above, an Authorized Individual of the Issuing and Paying Agent will confirm by telephone or facsimile transmission to an Authorized
Representative of the Company the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding as of such date hereunder after giving effect to all previous uncancelled issuances, to such transaction, to all other transactions of which an Authorized
Representative of the Company has given instructions to an Authorized Individual of the Issuing and Paying Agent but that have not yet been settled and to all maturities scheduled to occur on or before the settlement date of such transaction.

 (c) Upon receipt of such instructions, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall: 

 

	 	(i)	[reserved]; 

  

	 	(ii)	make an entry in the records of the Company maintained by the Issuing and Paying Agent with respect to the applicable Note represented by such Global Security, of the
further provisions of such Note set forth in the related Pricing Supplement; 

  

	 	(iii)	authenticate and deliver each Certificated Note to the appropriate Placement Agent against receipt therefor, which delivery may be made before actual receipt of payment
for the Notes, as provided in Section 5 hereof; 

  

	 	(iv)	retain one copy of each Certificated Note for its records and send to the Company and the appropriate Placement Agent a copy of each such Note; and

  

	 	(v)	with respect to each Global Security (including any Temporary Global Security), comply with the Procedures and with the Letter of Representations, as supplemented by
the Bring-Down Letter of Representations, both of which are attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Letter of Representations”) and the Certificate Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Certificate
Agreement”). 

  
 5 

 (d) Instructions regarding the completion of a Note must be received by an Authorized
Individual of the Issuing and Paying Agent not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the trade date with respect to the Note. 
 (e) Copies of Certificated Notes to be sent by the Issuing and Paying Agent to the Company shall be sent by first class mail no later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the first Business Day
after the settlement date. 
 (f) In the event a Placement Agent returns a Certificated Note to the Issuing and Paying Agent (at
The Bank of New York Mellon, c/o The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 400 South Hope Street, Suite 400, Los Angeles, CA 90071, Attention: Corporate Unit) because the purchaser either fails to accept delivery of or to make payment for the
Certificated Note, the Issuing and Paying Agent, upon receipt of the Certificated Note, will immediately advise the Company, cancel such Certificated Note and remit it (or a certificate of destruction with respect to such Certificated Note) to the
Company, make appropriate entries in its records to reflect the fact that the Certificated Note was never issued, and notify the Company in writing of such action. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall follow the Procedures (Part II: “Failure
to Settle”) with respect to failures of settlement and cancellations of Global Securities. 
 (g) Unless otherwise
specified in the Global Security or the Certificated Note, as the case may be, and the related Pricing Supplement, “Business Day” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is not a day on which commercial banks are
authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York or London, England; provided, however, that, with respect to non-US Dollar-denominated notes, the day is also not a day on which commercial
banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the principal Financial Center, as defined below, of the country issuing the specified currency or, if the specified currency is Euro, the day is also a day on which
the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (“TARGET”) System is open. 
 Unless
otherwise specified in the Global Security or the Certificated Note, as the case may be, and the related Pricing Supplement, “Principal Financial Center” shall mean the capital city of the country issuing the specified currency,
except with respect to US Dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” will be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.

 SECTION 5. Delivery of the Certificated Notes to Placement Agents. 

The Issuing and Paying Agent will deliver Certificated Notes to the appropriate Placement Agent on the related settlement date prior to
2:15 P.M., New York City time, against receipt therefor, whether or not the Issuing and Paying Agent has actually received payment for such Notes; provided, however, the Issuing and Paying Agent will not deliver a Certificated
Note to a Placement Agent prior to the settlement date with respect to that Certificated Note. The risk of nonreceipt of payment shall be the Company’s, and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or liability therefor.

  
 6 

 SECTION 6. Payment of Interest. 

Subject to the receipt of funds pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall pay interest due on each Note from
time to time in accordance with, and in the manner provided in, the Pricing Supplement related to such Note, and the Procedures and the instructions received with respect to such Note pursuant to Section 4(a). However, interest payable on any
date interest is due on a Note may be subject to the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes until receipt by the U.S. Withholding Agent if any of the Noteholder Tax Identification Information and Noteholder FATCA Information, as applicable. Payments

in the United States (or other bank consented to by the Company and the Issuing and Paying Agent) as the holder of such Certificated Notes shall have designated, provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor. All interest
payments with respect to any Global Security shall be payable to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole registered holder of the Global Security in accordance with DTC regulations and procedures as set
forth in the Letter of Representations and the Certificate Agreement. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall have no obligation to pay the interest due on any Note with its own funds.

redeemed, the Notes to be so redeemed shall be selected by the Issuing and Paying Agent by lot or in any usual manner approved by it. Any Note redeemed in part shall be in increments of US $1,000 and the unredeemed principal amount thereof must be

 (b) [Reserved]. 
 (c) In the event that any Certificated Note is surrendered to the Issuing and Paying Agent for repayment at the option of the registered holder or the holder of a Note represented by a Global Security

 9 

 
the Company by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall verify that such Note in fact is subject to repayment at the option of the holder or the holder of a
Note represented by a Global Security and, if so, shall determine whether the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” has been duly completed. If such Note is not subject to repayment at the option of the holder or the holder of a
Note represented by a Global Security or if such form has not been duly completed, the Issuing and Paying Agent will immediately notify the Company and will use its best efforts to notify immediately the registered holder of such fact, in each case
by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing or in the case of a Note represented by a Global Security on PINS (or the electronic database of any replacement clearing and settlement system) upon instruction from the Issuing and Paying Agent, in each
case not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. In the event that any Note is surrendered for repayment in part, such part must be in increments of US $1,000 and the unrepaid principal amount thereof must be an

Register”). 
 (b) [Reserved]. 
 (c) [Reserved]. 
 (d) [Reserved]. 

(e) [Reserved]. 

(f) A Global Security representing Notes shall not be exchanged for one or more Certificated Notes unless and until (i) DTC notifies
the Company and the Issuing and Paying Agent that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Security or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and, in either case, a successor depository is not appointed by the Company; (ii) the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such Global Security shall be exchangeable for Certificated Notes (such determination to be notified to the
Issuing and Paying Agent hereunder no less than 90 days in advance of the date on which such exchange is to be effected or such shorter period as is consented to by the Issuing and Paying Agent); or (iii) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default (as defined in the Global Security) with respect to the Notes represented by such Global Security. Upon the occurrence in respect of a Global Security representing Book-Entry Notes of any one or more of the conditions
specified in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), such Global Security may be exchanged, in whole or in 

  
 10 

 
part, for Certificated Notes in authorized denominations registered in the name or names of such persons or entities as DTC shall direct. A number of Certificated Notes sufficient to effect the
exchange shall have been executed by the Company and shall have been deposited with the Issuing and Paying Agent not later than the date of the exchange with respect to such Global Security, and the Company shall be deemed to have irrevocably
instructed the Issuing and Paying Agent to complete, authenticate and deliver such Certificated Notes as and when necessary to effect any such exchange. The Issuing and Paying Agent will hold all such Certificated Notes in safekeeping in accordance
with its customary practice and shall issue such Certificated Notes in the order of the serial numbers imprinted thereon. 
 (g)
Prior to the payment of interest or principal with respect to a holder’s beneficial interest in the related Temporary Global Security and any exchange of such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in a Permanent Global Security, such
holder of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Global Security must provide Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, with a certificate in the form of Annex A attached to Exhibit E hereto, certifying that the beneficial owner of
the interest in such Note is a non-U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S under the Act), and Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, must provide to the Note Registrar a certificate in the form of Exhibit E hereto (a “Clearing
System Certificate”). 
 (h) (i) Beneficial interests in the Notes represented by the Permanent Global Security (which
shall be in the form of a Temporary Global Security on or prior to the Exchange Date) may be transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of a Note represented by a Rule 144A Global Note only upon receipt by the Issuing and Paying
Agent of a written certification from the holder desiring to effect such transfer (substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto) and in the case of a transfer in reliance on Rule 144A, a written certification from such
holder’s prospective transferee (substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto) (which in the case of the Notes, such holder and such holder’s prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented) to the effect that, among
other things, the transfer is being made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A. 
 (ii)
Beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Notes may be transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form an interest in a Note represented by a Permanent Global Security (which shall be in the form of a Temporary Global Security on or
prior to the Exchange Date), or to a person who takes delivery in the form of a Rule 144A Global Note and (1) in the case of a transfer in reliance on Regulation S, a written certification from the transferee (substantially in the form of
Exhibit H hereto) to the effect that the transfer is being made to a non-U.S. Person in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act or (2) in the case of a transfer in reliance on Rule 144A, a written certification from
the transferee (substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto) (which in the case of the Notes, such holder and such holder’s prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented) to the effect that, among other things, the transfer
is being made to a Qualified Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A. 
 (i) Resales or other transfers of Notes
by Qualified Institutional Buyers (and subsequent transferees, directly or indirectly, of such Notes) to other Qualified Institutional Buyers will be conducted according to DTC rules, regulations and procedures applicable to United States corporate
debt obligations. Subject to and in compliance with this Section 13, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall cause the transferor’s interest in the Global Security to be reduced in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount to be
registered in the name of the transferee or its nominee. 

  
 11 

 (j) Unless and until a Note represented by a Global Security is exchanged in whole or in
part for Certificated Notes in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section 13, and except for transfers of Notes represented by a Global Security permitted under paragraph (g), (h) and (i) of this Section 13, Notes
represented by a Global Security may not be exchanged or transferred, except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or by DTC or any such nominee to a successor depository approved by the
Company. 
 (k) The Company and the Issuing and Paying Agent agree to cooperate to adopt amendments or supplements to this
Agreement and the Procedures from time to time (i) to modify the restrictions and procedures for resales and other transfers of the Notes to reflect any change in applicable law or regulation (or the interpretation thereof or in practices
relating to the resale or transfer of restricted securities generally), or (ii) to accommodate the issuance of Notes in book-entry form and matters related thereto in addition to the procedures already provided herein with respect to the
issuance of Notes in book-entry form to Qualified Institutional Buyers; provided that, if adopted, any such amendment or supplement that relates to the issuance of Notes in book-entry form shall not become effective until 45 days after the
date that the Issuing and Paying Agent was first given written notice of such amendment or supplement unless the Issuing and Paying Agent agrees to shorten such 45-day period. 
 (l) At any time at least one year after the original issue date of a Note, upon the consent of the Company and subject to the Company’s right to require an opinion of counsel to the effect that such
restrictions are no longer required under the Act, a holder of such a Note may request in writing to the Company that the restrictions be removed and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall, upon receipt of evidence of the Company’s consent, issue
in exchange for such Note one or more unlegended Notes of the same series of any authorized denomination, of a like aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions.

 (m) The Issuing and Paying Agent shall have no obligation to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restrictions on transfer of the Notes that may be imposed under this Agreement or the terms of any Note or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among any depositary, or its
nominee, as a holder of a Global Security, any participants in such depositary or holders of beneficial interests in any Global Security) other than to provide notice thereof to the Company (and, in the case of Certificated Notes, to obtain the
Company’s approval in connection therewith) and to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as expressly required by the terms of this Agreement or the terms of such Note, and to examine any 13 such
certificates, other documentation or evidence to determine substantial compliance as to form with such requirements. 

  
 12 

 SECTION 14. Persons Deemed Owners. 

(a) Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Issuing and Paying Agent and any agent of the
Company or the Issuing and Paying Agent may treat the person in whose name such Note is registered (which, in the case of a Global Security, shall be DTC or its nominee, or successor depository or its nominee) as the owner of such Note for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal (including premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Issuing and Paying Agent nor any agent
of the Company or the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (b) Without limiting the
provisions of Section 14(a) above, participants (collectively, “Participants”) in DTC shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by or on behalf of DTC, and DTC or its
nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Issuing and Paying Agent and any agent of the Company or the Issuing and Paying Agent as the holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. The Company and the Issuing and
Paying Agent shall be entitled to deal with any depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the holder of a Global Security for all purposes of this Agreement relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal (including premium,
if any) and interest and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners
thereof with respect to such Global Security. Neither the Company nor the Issuing and Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of any such depositary with respect to any Global Security, for the records of
any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any Global Security, for any transactions between such depositary and any participant in such depositary or between or among any such depositary, any
such participant and/or any holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any Global Security. 
 SECTION 15. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Notes. 
 In case any
Certificated Note shall become mutilated or destroyed, lost or stolen, and upon the satisfaction by the applicant of the requirements of this Section 15 for a substituted Note, the Company shall execute, and upon its request the Issuing and
Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver, a new Certificated Note having identical terms and provisions and having a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Certificated Note or in lieu of any
substitution for the Certificated Note destroyed, lost or stolen. In the case of loss, theft or destruction, the applicant for a substituted Certificated Note shall furnish to the Company and to the Issuing and Paying Agent such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless. Such applicant shall also furnish to the Company and to the Issuing and Paying Agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Certificated Note and
of the ownership thereof. In the case of mutilation, the applicant for a substituted Certificated Note shall surrender such mutilated Certificated Note to the Company or to the Issuing and Paying Agent for cancellation thereof. The Issuing and
Paying Agent may authenticate any such substituted Certificated Note and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any Authorized Representative included in Group III of

  
 13 

 
Exhibit A hereto. Upon the issuance of any substituted Certificated Note, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expense connected therewith. In case any
Certificated Note that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substituted Certificated Note, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof
except in the case of a mutilated Certificated Note) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the Company and the Issuing and Paying Agent with such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in the
case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company of the destruction, loss or theft of such Certificated Note and of the ownership thereof. All applications under this Section 15 shall be processed by the Issuing
and Paying Agent. 
 SECTION 16. Return of Unclaimed Funds. 

(a) Any money deposited with the Issuing and Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and
remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which the last payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Note to which such deposit relates shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Issuing and
Paying Agent on demand, and the holder of any Note to which such deposit related entitled to receive payment shall thereafter look only to the Company for the payment thereof and all liability of the Issuing and Paying Agent with respect to such
money shall thereupon cease. 
 (b) In the absence of a written request from the Company to return unclaimed funds to the
Company, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall from time to time deliver all unclaimed funds to or as directed by applicable escheat authorities, as determined by the Issuing and Paying Agent in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary
practices and procedures of the Issuing and Paying Agent. Any unclaimed funds held by the Issuing and Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 16(b) shall be held uninvested and without any liability for interest. 

SECTION 17. Resignation or Removal of Issuing and Paying Agent. 

(a) The Issuing and Paying Agent may at any time resign as such agent by giving written notice to the Company of such intention on its
part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be less than 90 days after receipt of such notice by the Company unless the Company and the Issuing and
Paying Agent otherwise agree in writing. 
 (b) The Issuing and Paying Agent may be removed at any time upon 15 days’
notice by delivery to it of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Company and specifying the date when such removal is intended to become effective. 
 (c) No such resignation or removal shall become effective prior to the date of the appointment by the Company (or by a court as provided below) of a successor Issuing and Paying Agent and the acceptance
of such appointment by such successor Issuing and Paying Agent as provided below. Upon receipt of notice of resignation from the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Company shall use its best efforts to appoint, and upon notice of removal given to the
Issuing and Paying Agent, the Company shall appoint, in each case as promptly as practicable, a 

  
 14 

 
successor Issuing and Paying Agent as contemplated hereby. If no successor shall have been so appointed within 90 days after notice is given as provided above, the resigning or removed Issuing
and Paying Agent may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Issuing and Paying Agent. Any successor Issuing and Paying Agent so appointed by such court shall, upon notice from
the Company, immediately and (except as provided in the Section 17(d) below) without further act be superseded by any successor Issuing and Paying Agent appointed by the Company as above provided. The Company shall cause notice of the
appointment of any such successor Issuing and Paying Agent to be given promptly to the registered holders of the Notes and to the Calculation Agent. 
 (d) Any successor Issuing and Paying Agent appointed following resignation or removal of a predecessor Issuing and Paying Agent as provided above shall execute and deliver to the predecessor Issuing and
Paying Agent and the Company an instrument accepting such appointment and agreeing to be bound by the terms and provisions of, and to serve as Issuing and Paying Agent as provided in, this Agreement. Thereupon, such successor Issuing and Paying
Agent shall, without any further act, deed or conveyance, become vested with all of the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of the Issuing and Paying Agent and with like effect as if originally named as Issuing and
Paying Agent hereunder, and the predecessor Issuing and Paying Agent shall thereupon be obligated to transfer and deliver to such successor Issuing and Paying Agent all relevant records or copies thereof maintained by the predecessor Issuing and
Paying Agent in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder. 
 SECTION 18. Reliance on Instructions.

 (a) The Issuing and Paying Agent shall incur no liability to the Company in acting hereunder upon instructions, certificates,
notices, Notes and other documents contemplated hereby that the Issuing and Paying Agent believed in good faith to have been properly given and/or executed. In the event that the instructions as originally received by the Issuing and Paying Agent
are inconsistent with any subsequent written confirmation thereof, such original instructions will be deemed controlling, provided the Issuing and Paying Agent gives notice to the Company (by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or
other similar unsecured electronic methods or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) of such inconsistency promptly upon receipt of such written confirmation. 
 (b) The Issuing and Paying Agent agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Agreement sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured
electronic methods, provided, however, that the Issuing and Paying Agent shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons,
which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Issuing and Paying Agent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other
similar unsecured electronic methods instructions, and the Issuing and Paying Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Issuing and Paying Agent’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling,
provided the Calculation Agent gives notice to the Company (by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods or by telephone 

  
 15 

 
promptly confirmed in writing) of such inconsistency promptly upon receipt of such written confirmation. Solely with respect to this subsection 18(c), the Issuing and Paying Agent shall not
be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Issuing and Paying Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent
written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Issuing and Paying Agent, including without limitation the risk of the Issuing and Paying
Agent acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties. 
 SECTION 19.
Cancellation of Unissued Notes. 
 Promptly upon the written request of the Company, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall
cancel all unissued Global Securities and Certificated Notes in its possession (including, without limitation, any Global Securities and Certificated Notes in its possession on or prior to the date hereof) and remit the cancelled Global Securities
or Certificated Notes (or a certificate of destruction with respect to such Certificated Notes) to the Company; provided, however, that the Issuing and Paying Agent shall not cancel or return to the Company unissued Certificated Notes
for which any outstanding Global Security may be exchanged in full unless the Company provides the Issuing and Paying Agent with a sufficient quantity of Certificated Notes in respect thereof for which such Global Security may be exchanged in full.

 SECTION 20. Representations and Warranties of the Company. 

(a) 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 Company that the issuance and delivery of the related Notes have been duly and validly authorized by the Company and, when completed, countersigned and delivered pursuant hereto, such Notes will
constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company. 
 (b) The Company represents and warrants to the Issuing
and Paying Agent as of the date hereof that this Agreement has been duly authorized by the Company; upon execution and delivery by the Company and the Issuing and Paying Agent, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of the Company;
the execution and delivery of this Agreement will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the Company is a party that would result in
a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, or result in any violation of the provisions of any law
that would result in a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, nor will it adversely affect the
rights of the holders of the Notes outstanding on the date hereof. 
 SECTION 21. Fees. 

For its services under this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation and reimbursement of
out-of-pocket expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as shall be mutually agreed upon between the Issuing and Paying Agent and the Company from time to time.

 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in clause (b) above, in the case of Notes
represented by a Global Security that settles through the DTC settlement system (or through a replacement clearing and settlement system for the Notes), a posting of a notice by the Issuing and Paying Agent and/or DTC of a notice on DTC’s
electronic database “PINS” (or the electronic database of such replacement clearing and settlement system) within any applicable time period shall be deemed a valid giving of notice to the registered holders of the Notes in respect
of which beneficial interests, and transfers thereof, are at the time shown on the records of DTC, in lieu of any other notice procedure required under the terms hereof. 
 SECTION 23. Materials Furnished by the Issuing and Paying Agent. 
 Upon the
reasonable request of the Company or the Placement Agents, as the case may be, given at any time and from time to time, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall promptly provide (i) the Company or the Placement Agents with information with respect to
Notes issued hereunder to the extent such information was received or created by the Issuing and Paying Agent in its capacity as Issuing and Paying Agent hereunder and such information is reasonably available and (ii) the Company or the
Placement Agents with the specimen signatures of the Issuing and Paying Agent’s officers, employees or agents who have been duly authorized by the Issuing and Paying Agent or any of its affiliates to give and receive notices and instructions
hereunder (the “Authorized Individuals”) and to give receipt for, complete and authenticate Notes (the “Authenticating Representatives”). The names, titles and specimen signatures of the Authorized Individuals and
Authenticating Representatives are set forth on Exhibit B. Each time Exhibit B is modified by the Issuing and Paying Agent, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall provide the Company (or the Placement Agents, upon request of the Company or
the Placement Agents), with a copy of Exhibit B as modified. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall provide to any holders of a Note or any prospective purchasers of a Note upon the request of such holders transferees or prospective purchasers
the most recent information regarding the Company prepared by the Company pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act and supplied by the Company to the Issuing and Paying Agent. 

SECTION 24. Concerning the Issuing and Paying Agent. 
 (a) Whenever in the administration of this Agreement the Issuing and Paying Agent shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action
hereunder, the Issuing and Paying Agent (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon the certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Company included in Group III to
Exhibit A hereto. The Issuing and Paying Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it and, as to any matter of law, the advice or written opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any
action taken or omitted by the Issuing and Paying Agent hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall have no fiduciary duties or obligations hereunder except those created by operation of
law. The Issuing and Paying Agent, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have 

  
 18 

 
if it were not the Issuing and Paying Agent. Money and securities held by the Issuing and Paying Agent hereunder need not be segregated from other money or securities except as required by law.
Any corporation into which the Issuing and Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Issuing and Paying Agent shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Issuing and Paying Agent, shall be the successor Issuing and Paying Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the parties hereto. The Issuing and Paying Agent shall not be required to advance or risk its own funds in the performance of its rights or duties hereunder. 

(b) In no event shall the Issuing and Paying Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riots, strikes or work stoppages for any reason, embargo, government action, including
any laws, ordinances, regulations or the like that restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Agreement, or the failure of equipment or interruption of communication or computer facilities (if the Issuing and Paying
Agent has taken reasonable actions to avoid such failures or interruptions) and other causes beyond the Issuing and Paying Agent’s control whether or not of the same class or kind as specifically named above. 

(c) The Issuing and Paying Agent may execute any of its powers hereunder or perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys and the Issuing and Paying Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. 

(d) 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. 

SECTION 25. Liability. 
 (a) Neither the Issuing and Paying Agent nor its officers or employees shall be liable to the Company 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 officers and employees shall be determined by the express provisions of this Agreement and they shall not be liable except for negligent performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth herein or willful misconduct and no implied covenants shall be read into this Agreement against them. Neither the Issuing and Paying Agent nor its officers shall be required to ascertain whether any issuance or sale of Notes
(or any amendment or termination of this Agreement) is in compliance with any other agreement to which the Company is a party (whether or not the Issuing and Paying Agent is also a party to such other agreement). 

(b) Anything in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall the Issuing and Paying Agent be liable for special, indirect, punitive
or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to loss of profit), even if the Issuing and Paying Agent has been advised as to the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

  
 19 

 SECTION 26. Indemnification. 

The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuing and Paying Agent, its directors, officers, employees and agents
(collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against all liabilities, claims, losses, damages, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by or asserted or assessed
against any indemnitee arising in respect of this Agreement, except in respect of any indemnitee for any such liability, claim, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnitee;
provided that: (i) with respect to any such claim, the Issuing and Paying Agent shall have given the Company written notice thereof promptly after the Issuing and Paying Agent shall have knowledge thereof, but failure by the Issuing and
Paying Agent to give such notice shall not affect the Issuing and Paying Agent’s right or the Company’s obligation to indemnity hereunder; (ii) while maintaining absolute control over its own defense, the Issuing and Paying Agent
shall cooperate and consult with the Company in preparing such defense; and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 26, the Company shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim any indemnitee entered into
without the prior consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnities referred to in this Section 26 shall survive payment in full of the Notes, termination of this Agreement and, as to any Issuing and
Paying Agent, its resignation or removal pursuant to Section 17 hereof. 
 SECTION 27. Benefit of Agreement.

 This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns and no other person shall
acquire or have any rights under or by virtue hereof. 
 SECTION 28. Amendment. 

This Agreement may be amended by any instrument in writing signed by all of the parties hereto so long as such amendment does not
(i) materially adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Notes then outstanding (with respect to Notes issued on or after the date hereof) or (ii) adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Notes then outstanding (with
respect to Notes issued prior to the date hereof). 
 Further, this Agreement may be amended in writing by the Company, but
without the consent of the Issuing and Paying Agent (i) to take any action necessary or helpful to prevent the Notes from becoming subject to any withholding or other taxes or assessments, and (ii) to allow the Company to comply with U.S.
withholding tax laws, including but not limited to FATCA, or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (including imposing withholding taxes upon holders or beneficial owners of Notes who fail to deliver the Noteholder FATCA Information and
the Noteholder Tax Identification Information) to the U.S. Withholding Agent; provided, however, that no such amendment shall, without the consent of the Issuing and Paying Agent, affect the Issuing and Paying Agent’s rights, duties or
immunities under this Agreement or otherwise. 

  
 20 

 SECTION 29. Governing Law. 

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made
and to be performed in such State (including, without limitation, Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law or any successor to such statute), without regard to conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of
the laws of another jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 30. Certain Terms Relating to a Global Security. 

For the avoidance of doubt, in all instances where this Agreement provides for the completion of a Global Security, completion will be
deemed to occur in respect of a Note to be incorporated into a Global Security upon receipt of instructions from an Authorized Representative of the Company to an Authorized Individual of the Issuing and Paying Agent and the Issuing and Paying Agent
makes an entry in the records of the Company maintained by the Issuing and Paying Agent, with respect to the issuance of a Note. 
 SECTION 31. Responsibility of the Issuing and Paying Agent with respect to a Global Security. 
 In addition to all other duties of the Issuing and Paying Agent in connection with the issuance of Notes hereunder, the Issuing an Paying Agent shall be required to maintain each of the Pricing
Supplements and other documents from which the terms of the Notes of a series or tranche are incorporated by reference into a Global Security or relate to a Certificated Note and comply with the Letter of Representations and the Certificate
Agreement. 
 SECTION 32. Severability. 
 If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be or shall, in fact, be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case or in any or all jurisdictions because it
conflicts with any provision of any constitution, statute, rule or public policy or for any other reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case,
circumstances or jurisdiction, or of rendering any other provision or provisions of this Agreement invalid, inoperative or unenforceable, to any extent whatsoever. 
 SECTION 33. Counterparts. 
 This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if signature thereto were upon the same instrument. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or
“tif”) transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile
or electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. 

  
 21 

 SECTION 34. Jurisdiction. 

Each of the parties hereto hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York and of any New York State court, in each case sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the
parties hereto hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction over such party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement in any of the aforesaid courts,
that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party. Nothing herein shall affect the right of either party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the other party in any
other jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that
any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 SECTION 35. Waiver of Jury
Trial. 
 EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

		  	 U.S. $16,000,000,000 Medium Term Notes

		
		  	 Rule 144A and Regulation S

		  	[Description of Note Program, including, as applicable, (a) series designator; (b) rank of indebtedness; and (c) reference to the provision of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, pursuant to which Note Program is exempt from registration.]

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This letters sets forth our understanding with respect to certain matters relating to the issuance by Issuer from time to time of notes under its note program described above (the “Securities”).
Issuing Agent shall act as issuing agent with respect to the Securities. Paying Agent shall not as paying agent or other such agent or Issuer with respect to the Securities. The Securities have been issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement,
private placement memorandum, or other such document authorizing the issuance of the Securities, dated as of September 10. 2004. 

 Paying Agent has entered into a Money Market Instrument Master Note and/or Global
Certificates Certificate Agreement, or a Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement, with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) dated as of November 13, 2001, pursuant to which Paying Agent shall act as custodian of a Master Note
Certificate and/or Global Certificates evidencing the Securities, when issued. Paying Agent shall amend Exhibit A to such Certificate Agreement to include the note program described above, prior to issuance of the Securities. 

To induce DTC to accept the Securities as eligible for deposit at DTC and to act in accordance with its Rules with respect to the
Securities, Issuer, Issuing Agent, and Paying Agent make the following representations to DTC: 
 1. All or certain issues of
the Securities shall be evidenced by one Master Note Certificate, or by one or more Global Certificates for each issue, in registered form registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co., and such Certificate or Certificates shall
represent 100% of the principal amount of the Securities issued through DTC. The Master Note Certificate, if any, shall include the substance of all material provisions set forth in the appropriate DTC model Master Note for the note program
described above, a copy of which previously has been furnished to Issuing Agent and Paying Agent, and may include additional provisions as long as they do not conflict with the material provisions set forth in the DTC model. If the principal amount
of an issue of the Securities to be evidenced by one or more Global Certificates, if any, exceeds $400 million, our Global Certificate shall be issued with respect to each $400 million of principal amount and an additional Global Certificate shall
be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount. Paying Agent shall cause each Global Certificate to be stamped with the following legend: 
 Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer,
exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as
is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL insomuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. 

2. Issuer: (a) understands that DTC has no obligation to, and will not, communicate to its participants (“Participants”)
or to any person having an interest in the Securities any information contained in the Master Note Certificates, if any, or the Global Certificates, if any; and (b) acknowledges that neither DTC’s Participants nor any person having any
interest in the Securities shall be deemed to have notice of the provisions of such Certificate or Certificates by virtue of submission of such Certificate or Certificates to DTC. 

  
 -2-

 3. Issuer or Issuing Agent has obtained from the CUSIP Service Bureau a written list of
approximately 900 nine-character numbers (the basic first six characters of which are the same and uniquely identify Issuer and the Securities to be issued under its note program described above). The CUSIP members on such list have been reserved
for future assignment to issues of the Securities. At any time when fewer than 100 of the CUSIP members on such list remain unassigned, Issuer or Issuing Agent shall promptly obtain from the CUSIP Service Bureau an additional written list of
approximately 900 such numbers. 
 4. When Securities are to be issued through DTC, Issuing Agent shall notify Paying Agent and
shall give issuance instructions to DTC in accordance with DTC’s Procedures, including DTC’s Final Plan for DTC Money Market Programs, and DTC’s Issuing/Paying Agent General Operating Procedures and Participant Terminal System
Procedures for Medium-Term Notes (MTNs) including Deposit Notes and Medium-Term Bank Notes (the “Procedures”), a copy of which previously has been furnished to Issuing Agent and Paying Agent. The giving of such issuance instructions, which
include delivery instructions, to DTC shall constitute: (a) a representation that the Securities are issued in accordance with applicable law; and (b) a confirmation that a Master Note Certificate, or a Global Certificate (or
Certificates), evidencing such Securities, in the form described in Paragraph 1, has been issued and authenticated. 
 5. Issuer
recognizes that DTC does not in any way undertake to, and shall not have any responsibility to, monitor or ascertain the compliance of any transactions in the Securities with the following, as amended from time to time: (a) any exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933; (b) the Investment Company Act of 1940; (c) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; (d) the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; (e) any rules of any self-regulatory
organizations (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); or (f) any other local, state, or federal laws or regulations thereunder. 
 6. If issuance of Securities through DTC is scheduled to take place one or more days after Issuing Agent has given issuance instructions to DTC, Issuing Agent may cancel such issuance by giving a
cancellation instructions to DTC in accordance with the Procedures.

 SCHEDULE A 

SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE 
 DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE 
 (Prepared by
DTC—Incorporated material may be applicable only to certain issuer) 
 1. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”),
New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such
other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Security certificate will be offered for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] is the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with
DTC. [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $400 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $400 million of principal amount and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining
principal amount of such issue.] 
 2. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a
“banking organization” with the meaning of the New Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency”
registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Direct
Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Direct Participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of
securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, cleaning corporation, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). The Rules applicable to DTC and its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. 
 3. Purchase of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive
a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners
will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or
Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of
Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued. 

  
 -6-

 4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct participants with
DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of
Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose
accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. 

5. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by
Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangement among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to
take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with impact to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to
ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners, or in the alternative, Beneficial Owner may wish to provide their names and addresses to the register and request
that copies of the notices be provided directly to them.] 
 [6. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of
the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTCs practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.] 
 7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails a an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as
possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whom accepts the Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the
Omnibus Proxy). 
 8. Redemption proceeds, distribution, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede &
Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent on
payable date in accordance with their respective holdings, show on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the
accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “interest name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time
to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividends to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments
to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. 

  
 -7-

 [9. A Beneficial owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or
tendered, through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to
[Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities to connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants
on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.] 
 10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event
that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered. 
 11.
Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered. 

12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes
to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

 Representations for Rule 144A Securities— 

to be included in DTC Letter of Representations 
 1. Issuer represents that at the time of initial registration in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co., the Securities were Legally or Contractually Restricted Securities,1 eligible for transfer under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act “), and identified by a CUSIP or CINS identification number that was different from any CUSIP or CINS identification number assigned to any securities of the same class that were not Legally or
Contractually Restricted Securities. Issuer shall ensure that a CUSIP or CINS identification number is obtained for all unrestricted securities of the same class that is different from any CUSIP or CINS identification number assigned to a Legally or
Contractually Restricted Security of such class, and shall notify DTC promptly in the event that it is unable to do so. Issuer represents that it has agreed to comply with all applicable information requirements of Rule 144A. 

2. Issuer represents that the Securities are: [Note: Issuer must represent one of the following, and shall cross out the
other.] 
 [an issue of nonconvertible debt securities or nonconvertible preferred stock which is rated in one of the top four categories by
a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“Investment Grade Securities”).] 
 [included within
______________________, a Self-Regulatory Organization System approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the reporting of quotation and trade information of securities eligible for transfer pursuant to Rule 144A (an “SRO Rule 144A
System”).] 
 3. If the Securities are not Investment-Grade Securities, Issuer and Agent acknowledge that if such
Securities cease to be included in an SRO Rule 144A System during any period in which such Securities are Legally or Contractually Restricted Securities, such Securities shall no longer be eligible for DTC’s services. Furthermore, DTC may
discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under any of the aforementioned circumstances, at DTC’s request, Issuer and Agent shall
cooperate fully with DTC by taking appropriate action to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing Securities to any DTC Participant (“Participant”) having Securities credited to its DTC accounts. 

 

	1 	 A “Legally Restricted Security” is a security that is a restricted security, as defined in Rule 144(a)(3). A “Contractually Restricted
Security” is a security that upon issuance and continually thereafter can only be sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act, Rule 144A, Rule 144, or in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 4 of the Securities Act and not involving any public offering; provided, however, that once the security is sold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, including Rule 144(k), it will thereby cease to be a
“Contractually Restricted Security.” For purposes of this definition, in order for a depositary receipt to be considered a “Legally or Contractually Restricted Security,” the underlying security must also be a “Legally or
Contractually Restricted Security.” 

 4. Issuer and Agent acknowledge that, so long as Cede & Co. is a record owner of
the Securities, Cede & Co. shall be entitled to all applicable voting rights and receive the full amount of all distributions payable with respect thereto. Issuer and Agent acknowledge that DTC shall treat any Participant having Securities
credited to its DTC accounts as entitled to the full benefits of ownership of such Securities. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Issuer and Agent acknowledge that DTC shall treat any Participant having Securities credited to
its DTC accounts as entitled to receive distributions (and voting rights, if any) in respect of the Securities, and to receive from DTC certificates evidencing Securities. Issuer and Agent recognize that DTC does not in any way undertake to, and
shall not have any responsibility to, monitor or ascertain the compliance of any transactions in the Securities with any of the provisions: (a) of Rule 144A; (b) of other exemptions from registration under the Securities Act or any other
state or federal securities laws; or (c) of the offering documents. 

  
 -2-

 [Insert for securities to be offered pursuant to 

Regulation S in conjunction with offering 
 of Securities pursuant to rule 144A] 
 5. The Document indicates that the
Securities to be deposited with DTC are to be offered: (i) in connection with transactions effected pursuant to Rule 144A; and (ii) in accordance with Rules 903 or 904 of Regulation S under the Securities Act. Issuer represents that the
securities have been offered in a manner that is reasonably designed to prevent the transfer of the Securities unless the Securities have been registered under the Securities Act or exemption therefrom is available. Issuer recognizes that DTC does
not in any way undertake to, and shall not have any responsibility to, monitor or ascertain the compliance of any transactions in the Securities (with any provisions of the [purchaser’s letter] or) with any exemptions from registration under
the Securities Act or of any other state or federal securities laws.

 1. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY,
will not as securities depository for the securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issues or fully-registered securities registered in the nature of Café & co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such
other name as may be stipulated by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Security certificate will be fettered for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issues, and will be deposited
with DTC. [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $400 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $400 million of principal amount and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any
remaining principal amount of such issue.] 
 2. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking
Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing
agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among
Direct Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Direct Participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of
securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a member of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). The Rules applicable to DTC and its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. 
 3. Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will
receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records.
Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmation providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic stipends of their holdings, from the
Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on
behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the back-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.
