of twelve 30-day months.
FORM OF NOTES
DUAL CURRENCY NOTES. This Note may be issued as a Note in which the
Issuer has a one-time option to pay the principal, premium, if any, and
interest, if any, on this Note in an optional currency specified on the face
hereof under "Other Terms" that is a different currency
A-1-8
from the Specified Currency of this Note ("Dual Currency Notes"). The Issuer
shall provide the Holders two Business Days written notice of its exercise of
such option, which such exercise shall be irrevocable. Specific information
pertaining to Dual Currency Notes shall be included above under "Other Terms,"
and shall include, without limitation, Specified Currency for the dual currency
note:
o the Specified Currency;
o the Optional Payment Currency;
o the Designated Exchange Rate;
o the Option Election Date; and
o the Interest Payment Dates for Dual Currency Notes.
The amounts payable and the method for calculating these amounts
with respect to Dual Currency Notes and any additional terms and conditions of
any issue of Dual Currency Notes will be specified on the face hereof.
EXTENDIBLE NOTES. This Note may be issued as a Note in which the
Issuer has the option to extend the Notes' stated Maturity Date for one or more
whole years up to a date set forth on the face hereof ("Extendible Notes"). In
the event the Issuer elects to extend the Extendible Notes, the Issuer must
notify the Trustee no less than 45 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the
Extendible Notes' original stated Maturity Date. The Trustee will notify the
Holder of the Issuers extension of the Maturity by first class mail. The notice
must specify the Extendible Notes' new Maturity Date, the interest rate
applicable to the extension period and any applicable redemption provisions.
The interest rate may be increased for the extension period if the
Issuer notifies the Trustee prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
twentieth calendar day before the extended Extendible Notes are scheduled to
mature. The Trustee will send notice to the Holders in a manner agreed upon by
the Trustee and the Issuer. This increased interest rate may not be revoked.
In the event the Issuer extends the period Maturity of the
Extendible Notes, the Holder has the option to require the Issuer to repay such
Extendible Notes on the Maturity Date then in effect at a price equal to the
principal amount of the Extendible Notes plus any accrued interest to such date.
In order to exercise this option the Holder must notify the Trustee no less than
25 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date the Extendible Notes are
scheduled to Mature. Such notice may be made by delivering to the Trustee the
Extendible Notes with the attached "Option to Elect Repayment" form completed,
or a letter from a broker/dealer, bank or trust company notifying the Trustee of
the Holder's intent to redeem its Extendible Notes and guaranteeing that the
Extendible Notes and the attached "Option to Elect Repayment" form will be
delivered no later than five Business Days after the date set for redemption.
The Holder may revoke its election to be repaid at any time before 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the
A-1-9
twentieth calendar day prior to the date the Extendible Notes are scheduled to
mature.
ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT NOTES. This Note may be issued as a Note in
which the issue price (set forth on the face hereof) is less than 100% of the
principal amount thereof, (i.e. par) by more than a percentage equal to the
product of 0.25% and the number of full years to the Maturity Date ("Original
Issue Discount Notes"). Original Issue Discount Notes may not bear any interest
currently or may bear interest at a rate that is below market rates at the time
of the issuance. The difference between the issue price of an Original Issue
Discount Note and par is referred to as the "Discount." In the event of
redemption, repayment or acceleration of Maturity of an Original Issue Discount
Note, the amount payable to the Holder will be equal to the sum of:
o the issue price (increased by any accruals of Discount)
and, in the event of any redemption of the applicable Original Issue
Discount Note, if applicable, multiplied by the initial redemption
percentage (as adjusted, if applicable); and
o any unpaid interest accrued on the Original Issue
Discount Note to the date of the redemption, repayment or
acceleration of the Maturity, as the case may be.
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued
as of any date on which a redemption, repayment or acceleration of Maturity
occurs for an Original Issue Discount Note, a Discount will be accrued using a
constant yield method. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day
month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the
Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between
Interest Payment Dates for the applicable Original Issue Discount Note (with
ratable accruals within a compounding period), a coupon rate equal to the
initial coupon rate applicable to the Original Issue Discount Note and an
assumption that the Maturity of an Original Issue Discount Note will not be
accelerated. If the period from the date of issue to the first Interest Payment
Date for an Original Issue Discount Note (the "Initial Period") is shorter than
the compounding period for the Original Issue Discount Note, a proportionate
amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the
Initial Period is longer than the then the compounding, then the period will be
divided into a regular compounding period and a short with the short period
being treated as provided in the preceding sentence. The accrual of the
applicable Discount may differ from the accrual of original issue discount for
purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended, certain
Original Issue Discount Notes may not be treated as having original issue
discount within the meaning of the Code, and notes other than Original Issue
Discount Notes may be treated as issued with original issue discount for federal
income tax purposes.

delivered to the Depositary who will forward them to the Trustee.]
Exercise of the repurchase option by the Holder of a Note shall be
irrevocable. The Holder of a Note may exercise the repurchase option for less
than the entire principal amount of the Note provided that the principal amount
of the Note remaining outstanding after repurchase is an Authorized
Denomination. No transfer or exchange of any Note will be permitted after
exercise of a repurchase option. If a Note is to be repurchased in part, no
transfer or exchange of the portion of the Note to be repurchased will be
permitted after exercise of a repurchase option. All questions as to the
validity, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance of any note for
repurchase will be determined by the Issuer and its determination will be final,
binding and non-appealable.
[Insert if the Security is to be a Certificated Security - In the
event of redemption or repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes
of this series and of like tenor and for a principal amount equal to the
unredeemed or unrepaid portion will be delivered to the registered Holder upon

[Insert if the Security is to be a Global Security - In the event of
redemption or repayment of this Note in part only, the Principal Amount shall be

CALCULATION OF EXCHANGE RATES. If this is a Foreign Currency Note to
be paid in United States dollars, the United States dollar amount to be received
in respect hereof will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent based on the most favorable firm bid quotation for United
States dollars received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment
date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers in The City of New York
selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Issuer (one of which may
be the Exchange Rate Agent) for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for
settlement on such payment date, of the aggregate amount of the Specified
Currency payable on such payment date in respect of this Note. If three quoting
dealers are not available then two dealers will be used. If no such bid
quotations are available, payments will be made in the Specified Currency,
unless such
A-1-12
Specified Currency is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or
to other circumstances beyond the Issuer's control, in which case the Issuer
will be entitled to make payments in respect hereof in United States dollars as
provided in the manner set forth below. All currency exchange costs will be
borne by the Holder hereof by deductions from such payments. The determination
of the exchange rate pursuant to the provisions of this Section is referred to
herein as the "Market Exchange Rate."
PAYMENTS IN SPECIFIED CURRENCIES. If a Holder is to receive payments
in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars as described on the
face hereof, payments of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest will be
paid in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account maintained by
the Holder with a bank designated by the Holder (which in the case of Global
Securities will be the Depositary or its nominee) on or prior to the Regular
Record Date or at least 15 days prior to Maturity, as the case may be, in the
case of Certificated Securities or, in the case of Global Securities, in the
manner specified on the face hereof in the third paragraph thereof following the
summary of terms, provided that such bank has the appropriate facilities for
such a payment in the Specified Currency, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect
to payments of principal and premium, if any, and interest at Maturity this Note
is presented to the Trustee in time for the Trustee to make such payment in
accordance with its normal procedures, which shall require presentation no later
than two Business Days prior to Maturity in order to ensure the availability of
immediately available funds in the Specified Currency at Maturity.
If payment on this Note is required to be made in a Specified
Currency other than United States dollars and such currency is unavailable in
the good faith judgment of the Issuer due to the imposition of exchange controls
or to other circumstances beyond the Issuer's control, or is no longer used by
the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking
community, then all payments with respect to this Note shall be made in United
States dollars until such currency is again available or so used. The amount so
payable on any date in such Specified Currency shall be converted into United
States dollars at a rate determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of
the Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day prior to such payment, or,
if the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, the most recently available
Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise determined in good faith by the Issuer if
the foregoing is impracticable.
If this is a Foreign Currency Note, in the event of an official
redenomination of such foreign currency (including, without limitation, an
official redenomination of a foreign currency that is a composite currency) the
obligations of the Issuer with respect to payments on this Note denominated in
such currency shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately following such
redenomination to provide for the payment of that amount of redenominated
currency representing the amount of such obligations immediately before such
redenomination. No adjustment will be made to any amount payable under this Note
as a result of (a) any change in the value of a foreign currency relative to any
other currency due solely to fluctuations in exchange rates or (b) any
redenomination of any component currency of any composite currency (unless such
composite currency is itself officially redenominated).
A-1-13
ACCELERATION UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If an Event of Default with
respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the Principal
Amount of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, if any Original Issue Discount Note (as defined below) is redeemed
or repurchased by the Issuer or repurchased at the option of the Holder, each as
described above, or if the principal of any Original Issue Discount Note is
declared to be due and payable immediately pursuant to this paragraph, the
amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited
to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of this Note multiplied by the
Issue Price (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus
the original issue discount accrued from the date of issue to the date of
redemption, repayment or declaration, as applicable, which accrual shall be
calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) in effect on the date of redemption, repurchase
or declaration. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, an Original Issue
Discount Note is a Note which has a stated redemption price at maturity that
exceeds its Issue Price by at least 0.25% of the stated redemption price at
maturity, multiplied by the number of full years from the Original Issue Date to
the Maturity Date for this Note.
MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS UNDER INDENTURE. The Indenture contains
provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as one
class), evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute supplemental
indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying
in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the
consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, (i) change the Stated
Maturity of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or any installment of
principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount
thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon, or adversely affect any right
of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security, or change any Place of
Payment where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies in which, any Security or any premium or the
interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof, or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the Holders of which are required
to consent to any such supplemental indenture, or (iii) reduce the percentage of
Securities, the Holders of which are required to consent to any waiver of
compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or any waiver of certain
defaults thereunder. It is also provided in the Indenture that, with respect to
certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Securities of any series,
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the
Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain defaults or Events of
Default, all series of Securities) may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such series (or all of the Securities, as the case may be) waive
any such past default or Event of Default and its consequences, prior to any
declaration accelerating the maturity of such Securities, or, subject to certain
conditions, may rescind a declaration of acceleration and its consequences with
respect to such Securities. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of the security
and any securities that may be issued
A-1-14
in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation
thereof is made upon this security or such other securities.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on
this security in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the
coin or currency herein prescribed.

in the Security Register; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a Holder of U.S.$10,000,000
(or, if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the
equivalent thereof in the Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal
amount of Notes (whether having identical or different terms and provisions)
will be entitled to receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date by
wire transfer of immediately available funds if such Holder has delivered
appropriate wire transfer instructions in writing to the Trustee not less than
15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any such wire transfer
instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by
such Holder.]
All payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest in a
Specified Currency other than United States dollars will be made in the manner
set forth on the reverse hereof.
The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Holder of any Note against any
loss incurred by such Holder as a result of any judgment or order being given or
made against the Issuer for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order
requiring payment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than the
Specified Currency, and as a result of any variation between (i) the rate of
exchange at which the Specified Currency amount is converted into the Judgment
Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of
exchange at which such Holder, on the date of payment of such judgment or order,
is able to purchase the Specified Currency with the amount of the Judgment
Currency actually received by such Holder, as the case may be. The foregoing
indemnity constitutes a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer and
continues in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as
aforesaid. The term "rate of exchange" includes any premiums and costs of
exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the
relevant currency.
The interest payable hereon on each Interest Payment Date will
include accrued interest from the Original Issue Date or from the last date in
respect of which interest has been paid on the Notes (subject to the applicable
provisions set forth above), as the case may be, to, but excluding, such
Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The interest rate in
effect on the Notes from the Original Issue Date, to, but excluding, the first
Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. Thereafter, the Notes
will bear interest at a rate reset for each period ending on and excluding an
Interest Reset Date and commencing on and including the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Original Issue Date) (each an "Interest
Reset Period") determined by the Calculation Agent. The interest rate per annum
on this Note for each Interest Reset Period shall be the Base Rate designated
above (determined as set forth on the reverse hereof), in each case adjusted by
the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any,
A-2-5
specified above and by the multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any,
specified above. Accrued interest is calculated by multiplying the face amount
hereof by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor will be
computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day for which
accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise specified on the face
hereof, the interest factor for each day is computed by dividing the interest
rate in effect on that day by (i) the actual number of days in the year, in the
case of the Treasury Rate Notes and CMT Rate Notes, or (ii) 360 days, in the
case of all other Notes.
The interest rate on a Note in effect on any day will be (i) if the
day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest
Determination Date relating to that Interest Reset Date; or (ii) if the day is
not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest
Determination Date relating to the preceding Interest Reset Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater
than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate,
if any, shown above. In addition, the interest rate hereon shall in no event be
higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York State law as the same may be
modified by United States law of general application.
Reference is made to the further provisions of this Note set forth
on the reverse hereof. Such further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same effect as though fully set forth at this place.
This Note shall not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture
referred to on the reverse hereof or be valid or become obligatory for any
purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by
the Trustee under such Indenture.

be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 19, 1995
(hereinafter called the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Issuer
to Bank One Trust Company, N.A. (successor in interest to The First National
Bank of Chicago), as Trustee (hereinafter called the "Trustee," which term
includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of
Securities of which this Note is a part), to which the Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto relating to this security reference is hereby
made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations,
duties, and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer, and the Holders of
the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. The Securities may be issued in one or more series,
which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may
mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be
subject to different redemption provisions (if any), and may otherwise vary as
provided in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto. This Note is
one of a series designated as "Medium-Term Notes Due Nine Months or More from
Date of Issue" (herein referred to as the "Notes") of the Issuer, of up to
$150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. All terms used in this Note which
are defined in the Indenture and which are not otherwise defined in this Note
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. The terms of the
Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes
are subject to all such terms, and the Holders are referred to the Indenture and
such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note
conflicts with the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture
shall govern and be controlling.
Interest payments for this Note will include interest accrued from
and including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly
provided for (or from and including the Original Issue Date if no interest has
been paid or provided for) to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates. Interest
payments for this Note shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year

City time, on the Interest Determination Date of three leading primary
United States government securities dealers in New York City, selected
using the same method described in clause (iii) above, for the most
recently issued direct non-callable fixed rate obligations of the United
States with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next
highest to the Index Maturity and a remaining term to maturity closest to
the Index Maturity and in an amount of at least U.S. $100 million;
(v) if three or four (but not five) reference dealers are quoting as described
in clauses (iii) and (iv) above, then the CMT Rate will be based on the
arithmetic mean of the offered rates obtained and neither the highest nor
the lowest of those quotations will be eliminated; and
(vi) if fewer than three leading primary United States government securities
dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in
clauses (iii) and (iv) above, the CMT Rate will be the CMT Rate in effect
during the prior interest period.
"Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Bridge
Telerate, Inc., or any successor service, on the page specified on the face
hereof, or any other page that replaces that page on that service for the
purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If
no page is specified, page 7052 for the most recent week.
OTHER BASE RATES. In addition to the Base Rates specified in this
Section, the Issuer may elect to designate such Other Base Rates indicated on
the face hereof based on such
A-2-17
other interest rate formula or formulas indicated on the face hereof, which may
include a combination of one or more of the Base Rates indicated above.
RESET OF SPREAD AND SPREAD MULTIPLIER. If the Issuer has the option
with respect to this Note to reset the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, such
option will be indicated on the face hereof, together with (i) the date or dates
on which such Spread and/or Spread Multiplier may be reset (each an "Optional
Reset Date") and (ii) the basis or formula, if any, for such resetting. Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Issuer may exercise such option by
notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days
(unless otherwise specified on the face hereof) prior to an Optional Reset Date.
Not later than 40 days (unless otherwise specified on the face hereof) prior to
such Optional Reset Date, the Trustee will mail to the Holder hereof a notice
(the "Reset Notice"), first class, postage prepaid, setting forth (i) the
election of the Issuer to reset the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, (ii) such
new Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, and (iii) the provisions, if any, for

Maturity of this Note (each such period a "Subsequent Interest Period"),
including the date or dates on which or the period or periods during which and
the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during such Subsequent
Interest Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days (unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof) prior to an Optional Reset Date, the
Issuer may, at its option, revoke the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier provided
for in the Reset Notice and establish a higher Spread and/or Spread Multiplier
for the Subsequent Interest Period commencing on such Optional Reset Date by
mailing or causing the Trustee to mail notice of such higher Spread and/or
Spread Multiplier first class, postage prepaid, to the Holder hereof. Such
notice shall be irrevocable. If the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier is reset on
an Optional Reset Date this Note will bear such higher Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier.
A-2-18
If the Issuer elects to reset the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier of
this Note, the Holder hereof will have the option to elect repayment of this
Note by the Issuer on any Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal
amount hereof plus any accrued interest to such Optional Reset Date. In order
for this Note to be so repaid on an Optional Reset Date, the Holder hereof must
follow the procedures set forth below for optional repurchase, except that the
period for delivery of this Note or notification to the Trustee shall be at
least 25 but not more than 35 days (unless otherwise specified on the face
hereof) prior to such Optional Reset Date and except that a Holder who has
tendered this Note for repayment pursuant to a Reset Notice may, by written
notice to the Trustee, revoke any such tender for repayment until the close of
business on the tenth day prior to such Optional Reset Date.
INTEREST RATE IN EFFECT. The Calculation Agent will, upon the
request of the Holder of this Note, provide to such Holder the interest rate
hereon then in effect and, if different, the interest rate which will become
effective as a result of a determination made on the most recent Interest
Determination Date.
FORM OF NOTES
INDEXED NOTES. This Note may be issued with the principal amount
payable at Maturity and/or with interest payable hereon on an Interest Payment
Date to be determined by reference to the price or prices of currencies,
currency units, commodities, stock, other securities, interest or other notes,
financial or non-financial indices or other factors (each an "Indexed Note"), as
shall be indicated above under "Other Terms." Specific information pertaining to
the method for determining the principal amount payable at Maturity or the
amount of interest to be paid on an Interest Payment Date with reference to the
specified index shall be included above under "Other Terms."
For the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Indexed Notes outstanding have made a demand or given a
notice or waiver or taken any other action, the outstanding principal amount of
Indexed Notes will be deemed to be the face amount of the Indexed Notes. In the
event of an acceleration of the maturity of the Indexed Note, the principal
amount payable to the Holder of an Indexed Note upon acceleration will be the
principal amount determined by reference to the formula by which the principal
amount of the Indexed Note would be determined on the Maturity Date, as if the
date of acceleration were the Maturity Date.
DUAL CURRENCY NOTES. This Note may be issued as a Note in which the
Issuer has a one-time option to pay the principal, premium, if any, and
interest, if any, on this Note in an optional currency specified on the face
hereof under "Other Terms" that is a different currency from the Specified
Currency of this Note ("Dual Currency Notes"). The Issuer shall provide the
Holders two Business Days written notice of its exercise of such option, which
such exercise shall be irrevocable. Specific information pertaining to Dual
Currency Notes shall be included above under "Other Terms," and shall include,
without limitation, Specified Currency for the dual currency note:
o the Specified Currency;
A-2-19
o the Optional Payment Currency;
o the Designated Exchange Rate;
o the Option Election Date; and
o the Interest Payment Dates for Dual Currency Notes.
The amounts payable and the method for calculating these amounts
with respect to Dual Currency Notes and any additional terms and conditions of
any issue of Dual Currency Notes will be specified on the face hereof.
RENEWABLE NOTES. This Note may be issued as a Note in which the
Maturity will be automatically extended for a twelve month period on each
Maturity unless the Holder elects to terminate the automatic extension
("Renewable Notes"). The Holder may terminate the automatic extension by
notifying the Trustee within the time frame set forth on the face hereof. The
Holder may choose to maintain the automatic extension provision for a portion of
the Renewable Note so long as that portion equals at least $100,000 (or its
foreign currency equivalent). The Maturity of the Renewable Notes cannot be
extended beyond the final Maturity Date set forth on the face hereof. If the
Holder elects to terminate the automatic extension of any portion of the
Renewable Note, the Holder will receive payment of principal on that portion on
an Interest Payment Date falling approximately six months after the date on
which the Renewable Note was scheduled to be extended.
The Holder may revoke its election to terminate the automatic
extension or any portion of the Renewable Note if such portion equals at least
$100,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent). To revoke its election to
terminate, the Holder must notify the Trustee prior to the fifteenth calendar
day before the portion is scheduled to mature. An election to terminate the
automatic extension of a Renewable Note will be binding on any subsequent Holder
unless properly revoked.
The Issuer may elect to redeem the total amount or portion of a
Renewable Note at a redemption price of 100% of its principal amount plus
accrued interest. If the Issuer decides to redeem a Renewable Note, the Issuer
must notify the Holder by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days
prior to the redemption date.
The Renewable Notes will bear interest at a specified rate that will
be based on a based rate and any Spread and/or Spread Multiplier.
EXTENDIBLE NOTES. This Note may be issued as a Note in which the
Issuer has the option to extend the Notes' stated Maturity Date for one or more
whole years up to a date set forth on the face hereof ("Extendible Notes"). In
the event the Issuer elects to extend the Extendible Notes, the Issuer must
notify the Trustee no less than 45 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the
Extendible Notes' original stated Maturity Date. The Trustee will notify the
Holder of the Issuers extension of the Maturity by first class mail. The notice
must specify the
A-2-20
Extendible Notes' new Maturity Date, the interest rate applicable to the
extension period and any applicable redemption provisions.
The interest rate may be increased for the extension period if the
Issuer notifies the Trustee prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
twentieth calendar day before the extended Extendible Notes are scheduled to
mature. The Trustee will send notice to the Holders in a manner agreed upon by
the Trustee and the Issuer. This increased interest rate may not be revoked.
In the event the Issuer extends the period Maturity of the
Extendible Notes, the Holder has the option to require the Issuer to repay such
Extendible Notes on the Maturity Date then in effect at a price equal to the
principal amount of the Extendible Notes plus any accrued interest to such date.
In order to exercise this option the Holder must notify the Trustee no less than
25 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date the Extendible Notes are
scheduled to Mature. Such notice may be made by delivering to the Trustee the
Extendible Notes with the attached "Option to Elect Repayment" form completed,
or a letter from a broker/dealer, bank or trust company notifying the Trustee of
the Holder's intent to redeem its Extendible Notes and guaranteeing that the
Extendible Notes and the attached "Option to Elect Repayment" form will be
delivered no later than five Business Days after the date set for redemption.
The Holder may revoke its election to be repaid at any time before 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the twentieth calendar day prior to the date the
Extendible Notes are scheduled to mature.
ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT NOTES. This Note may be issued as a Note in
which the issue price (set forth on the face hereof) is less than 100% of the
principal amount thereof, (i.e. par) by more than a percentage equal to the
product of 0.25% and the number of full years to the Maturity Date ("Original
Issue Discount Notes"). Original Issue Discount Notes may not bear any interest
currently or may bear interest at a rate that is below market rates at the time
of the issuance. The difference between the issue price of an Original Issue
Discount Note and par is referred to as the "Discount." In the event of
redemption, repayment or acceleration of Maturity of an Original Issue Discount
Note, the amount payable to the Holder will be equal to the sum of:
o the issue price (increased by any accruals of Discount)
and, in the event of any redemption of the applicable Original Issue
Discount Note, if applicable, multiplied by the initial redemption
percentage (as adjusted, if applicable); and
o any unpaid interest accrued on the Original Issue
Discount Note to the date of the redemption, repayment or
acceleration of the Maturity, as the case may be.
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued
as of any date on which a redemption, repayment or acceleration of Maturity
occurs for an Original Issue Discount Note, a Discount will be accrued using a
constant yield method. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day
month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the
Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between
Interest Payment Dates for the applicable Original Issue Discount Note (with
ratable accruals
A-2-21
within a compounding period), a coupon rate equal to the initial coupon rate
applicable to the Original Issue Discount Note and an assumption that the
Maturity of an Original Issue Discount Note will not be accelerated. If the
period from the date of issue to the first Interest Payment Date for an Original
Issue Discount Note (the "Initial Period") is shorter than the compounding
period for the Original Issue Discount Note, a proportionate amount of the yield
for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is
longer than the then the compounding, then the period will be divided into a
regular compounding period and a short with the short period being treated as
provided in the preceding sentence. The accrual of the applicable Discount may
differ from the accrual of original issue discount for purposes of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended, certain Original Issue Discount
Notes may not be treated as having original issue discount within the meaning of
the Code, and notes other than Original Issue Discount Notes may be treated as
issued with original issue discount for federal income tax purposes.

delivered to the Depositary who will forward them to the Trustee.]
Exercise of the repurchase option by the Holder of a Note shall be
irrevocable. The Holder of a Note may exercise the repurchase option for less
than the entire principal amount of the Note provided that the principal amount
of the Note remaining outstanding after repurchase is an Authorized
Denomination. No transfer or exchange of any Note will be permitted after
exercise of a repurchase option. If a Note is to be repurchased in part, no
transfer or exchange of the portion of the Note to be repurchased will be
permitted after exercise of a repurchase option. All questions as to the
validity, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance of any note for
repurchase will be determined by the Issuer and its determination will be final,
binding and non-appealable.
[Insert if the Security is to be a Certificated Security - In the
event of redemption or repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes
of this series and of like tenor and for a principal amount equal to the
unredeemed or unrepaid portion will be delivered to the registered Holder upon

CALCULATION OF EXCHANGE RATES. If this is a Foreign Currency Note to
be paid in United States dollars, the United States dollar amount to be received
in respect hereof will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent based on the most favorable firm bid quotation for United
States dollars received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the
A-2-24
applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers in The
City of New York selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Issuer
(one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent) for the purchase by the quoting
dealer, for settlement on such payment date, of the aggregate amount of the
Specified Currency payable on such payment date in respect of this Note. If
three quoting dealers are not available then two dealers will be used. If no
such bid quotations are available, payments will be made in the Specified
Currency, unless such Specified Currency is unavailable due to the imposition of
exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the Issuer's control, in
which case the Issuer will be entitled to make payments in respect hereof in
United States dollars as provided in the manner set forth below. All currency
exchange costs will be borne by the Holder hereof by deductions from such
payments. The determination of the exchange rate pursuant to the provisions of
this Section is referred to herein as the "Market Exchange Rate."
PERCENTAGES AND DECIMALS. Except as otherwise specified on the face
hereof, all percentages and decimals resulting from any calculation of interest
on Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth of
a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded
upwards. For example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) will be rounded to 9.87655% (or
.0987655) and 9.876544% (or .09876544) will be rounded to 9.87654% (or
.0987654). All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any such calculation
will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).
PAYMENTS IN SPECIFIED CURRENCIES. If a Holder is to receive payments
in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars as described on the
face hereof, payments of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest will be
paid in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account maintained by
the Holder with a bank designated by the Holder (which in the case of Global
Securities will be the Depositary or its nominee) on or prior to the Regular
Record Date or at least 15 days prior to Maturity, as the case may be, in the
case of Certificated Securities or, in the case of Global Securities, in the
manner specified on the face hereof in the third paragraph thereof following the
summary of terms, provided that such bank has the appropriate facilities for
such a payment in the Specified Currency, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect
to payments of principal and premium, if any, and interest at Maturity this Note
is presented to the Trustee in time for the Trustee to make such payment in
accordance with its normal procedures, which shall require presentation no later
than two Business Days prior to Maturity in order to ensure the availability of
immediately available funds in the Specified Currency at Maturity.
If payment on this Note is required to be made in a Specified
Currency other than United States dollars and such currency is unavailable in
the good faith judgment of the Issuer due to the imposition of exchange controls
or to other circumstances beyond the Issuer's control, or is no longer used by
the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking
community, then all payments with respect to this Note shall be made in United
States dollars until such currency is again available or so used. The amount so
payable on any date in such Specified Currency shall be converted into United
States dollars at a rate determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of
the Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day prior to such payment, or,
if the
A-2-25
Market Exchange Rate is not then available, the most recently available Market
Exchange Rate or as otherwise determined in good faith by the Issuer if the
foregoing is impracticable.
If this is a Foreign Currency Note, in the event of an official
redenomination of such foreign currency (including, without limitation, an
official redenomination of a foreign currency that is a composite currency) the
obligations of the Issuer with respect to payments on this Note denominated in
such currency shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately following such
redenomination to provide for the payment of that amount of redenominated
currency representing the amount of such obligations immediately before such
redenomination. No adjustment will be made to any amount payable under this Note
as a result of (a) any change in the value of a foreign currency relative to any
other currency due solely to fluctuations in exchange rates or (b) any
redenomination of any component currency of any composite currency (unless such
composite currency is itself officially redenominated).
ACCELERATION UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If an Event of Default with
respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the Principal
Amount of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner
and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, if any Original Issue Discount Note (as defined below) is redeemed
or repurchased by the Issuer or repurchased at the option of the Holder, each as
described above, or if the principal of any Original Issue Discount Note is
declared to be due and payable immediately pursuant to this paragraph, the
amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited
to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of this Note multiplied by the
Issue Price (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus
the original issue discount accrued from the date of issue to the date of
redemption, repayment or declaration, as applicable, which accrual shall be
calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) in effect on the date of redemption, repurchase
or declaration. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, an Original Issue
Discount Note is a Note which has a stated redemption price at maturity that
exceeds its Issue Price by at least 0.25% of the stated redemption price at
maturity, multiplied by the number of full years from the Original Issue Date to
the Maturity Date for this Note.
MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS UNDER INDENTURE. The Indenture contains
provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding of all series to be affected (voting as one
class), evidenced as provided in the Indenture, to execute supplemental
indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying
in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the
consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, (i) change the Stated
Maturity of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or any installment of
principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount
thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon, or adversely affect any right
of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security, or change any Place of
Payment where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies in which, any Security or any premium or the
interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute
A-2-26
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity
thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the Holders of
which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, or (iii)
reduce the percentage of Securities, the Holders of which are required to
consent to any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or
any waiver of certain defaults thereunder. It is also provided in the Indenture
that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the
Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount outstanding of the Securities of such series (or, in the case of certain
defaults or Events of Default, all series of Securities) may on behalf of the
Holders of all the Securities of such series (or all of the Securities, as the
case may be) waive any such past default or Event of Default and its
consequences, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of such
Securities, or, subject to certain conditions, may rescind a declaration of
acceleration and its consequences with respect to such Securities. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this security (unless revoked as provided in
the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders and owners of the security and any securities that may be issued
in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation
thereof is made upon this security or such other securities.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on
this security in the manner, at the respective times, at the rate and in the
coin or currency herein prescribed.

certain limitations set forth therein and as may be set forth on the face
hereof, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon
surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of
the Issuer in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and

sole discretion executes and delivers to the Trustee a Issuer Order that this
Global Note shall be exchangeable or (C) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. If this Global Note is
exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for
Notes issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof, registered in such names as such Depositary shall direct.]
