T-1 for The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee to The Bank of New York,
with respect to Senior Debt Securities under the Company’s Senior Indenture dated December 19, 2001
(the “Senior Indenture”). The Bank of New York had previously served as the trustee under the
Indenture, which was qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust
Indenture Act”), by means of the filing of a Statement of Eligibility as Exhibit 25.1 to the
Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Nos. 333-131761, 333-131761-01 and
333-131761-02, the “Registration Statement”), which Registration Statement was automatically
effective upon filing. The attached Form T-1 for The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. replaces
the previously filed Form T-1 and is hereby included in the Registration Statement. The Form T-1
is also filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 305 of the Trust
Indenture Act.
This report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities of the Company, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state in which such
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the
securities laws of any such state.
