in the operation of their businesses;
(e) Liens in respect of any interest or title of a
lessor in any Property subject to a Capitalized Lease permitted

obligation) of indebtedness for money borrowed of the Company which
ranks, in right of payment, on a parity with or senior to the Notes.

upon, the ability of any Consolidated Subsidiary to make loans or advances to
the Company or to declare and pay dividends or make distribution on shares of
such Consolidated Subsidiary's Capital Stock (whether now or hereafter
outstanding); provided, however, that any agreement to subordinate indebtedness

guarantee of such indebtedness for money borrowed, shall not be deemed to
violate

this Section 503 so long as any such agreement to subordinate does not directly
or indirectly prohibit or restrain the ability of any such Consolidated
Subsidiary to make loans or advances to the Company or to declare and pay
dividends or make distributions on shares of such Consolidated Subsidiary's

(b) Within 30 Business Days after a Change in Control Triggering
Event, the Company is obligated to mail to the Trustee and to all Holders of the
Notes at their addresses shown in the Security Register (and to beneficial
owners as required by applicable law) a notice (the "Change in Control Notice")
regarding the Change in Control Triggering Event. The Change in Control Notice
shall state, among other things:
(1) the date by which the Holder must give the Purchase
Notice;
(2) the Purchase Price;
(3) the Purchase Date;
(4) the name and address of the Trustee and of any other
office or agency maintained for the purpose of the surrender of the
Notes for purchase;
(5) the procedures for withdrawing a Purchase Notice;
and
(6) the procedures that a Holder must follow to exercise
these rights.
The Company will have the Change in Control Notice published in a daily
newspaper of national circulation.
(c) To exercise the right to have the Company purchase the Notes, a
Holder must deliver written notice (a "Purchase Notice") to the Trustee or to
any other office or agency maintained for that purpose of the Holder's exercise
of that right before the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior
to the Purchase Date. The Purchase Notice must state:
(1) the certificate number of the Note or Notes to be delivered
by the Holder for purchase by the Company;
(2) the portion of the principal amount of the Notes to be
purchased (which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 (or if the
Specified Currency is other than U.S. dollars, the equivalent thereof in the
Specified Currency)); and
(3) that the Notes will be submitted to the Company accompanied
by a duly completed form of "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" contained on
the reverse of such Notes, to the Company to be given to the Trustee as Security
Registrar at a Place of Payment specified in the notice (or otherwise make
effective delivery of the Note and form of "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase"
pursuant to book-entry procedures and the related rules of the Depository) prior
to the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Purchase Date for
purchase on the Purchase Date pursuant to the applicable provisions of the
Notes.
A Holder may withdraw any Purchase Notice by written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the Trustee or to any other office or agency maintained
for such purpose no later than the Business Day immediately prior to the
Purchase Date. The notice of withdrawal must state the principal amount and the
certificate numbers of the Notes as to which the withdrawal
13
15
notice relates and the principal amount, if any, of the Holder's Notes, which
remains subject to the original Purchase Notice.
(d) On the Purchase Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment
the Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Change in Control Notice,
(ii) deposit with the Trustee money sufficient to pay the aggregate Purchase
Price and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so
accepted together with an Officers' Certificate indicating the Notes or portions
thereof tendered to the Company. The Trustee shall promptly mail to each Holder
of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such
Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holder a new
Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes
surrendered, provided that each such new Note shall be issued in an original
principal amount in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof (or
if the Specified Currency is other than U.S. dollars, the equivalent thereof in
the Specified Currency).
(e) The Company shall comply, to the extent then applicable and
required by law, with, and make all filings required under, Section 14(e) of the
Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder in connection with the purchase of
Notes at the option of Holders upon a Change in Control Triggering Event. To the
extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with
the provisions relating to the Change in Control Notice, the Company shall
comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be
deemed to have breached its obligations described above by virtue thereof.

AMERCO, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of

corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to ______________________________ or registered
assigns, the principal sum specified above on the Stated Maturity Date specified
above (or any Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each as defined on the reverse
hereof, or any earlier date of acceleration of maturity) (each such date being
hereinafter referred to as the "Maturity Date" with respect to the principal
repayable on such date) and to pay interest thereon from and including the
Original Issue Date shown above or from and including the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case
may be.
Interest will be paid on the Interest Payment Date or Dates
specified above, commencing with the first such Interest Payment Date next
succeeding the Original Issue Date shown above (except as provided below), at
the rate per annum specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or made
available for payment and on the Maturity Date. The interest so payable and
punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as
provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or
one or more predecessor Notes) is registered in the Security Register at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined below) specified above
next preceding such Interest Payment Date. The first payment of interest on any
Note originally issued between a Regular Record Date and the next Interest
Payment Date will be made on the Interest Payment Date following the next
succeeding Regular Record Date to the Holder on such next succeeding Regular
Record Date. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest
not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable
to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person
in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the
A-2
20
close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined in the Indenture) for the
payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof is
to be given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 calendar days
prior to such Special Record Date (as defined in the Indenture), or be paid at
any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities exchange on which the Notes of this series may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided
in said Indenture. "Regular Record Date" means, with respect to an applicable
Interest Payment Date, the fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a Business
Day, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.
If this Note is a Book-Entry Security as specified above, while this
Note is represented by one or more Book-Entry Securities registered in the name
of the Depositary or its nominee, the Company will cause payments of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on such Book-Entry Securities to be made to
the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, by wire transfer to the
extent, in the funds and in the manner required by agreements with, or
regulations or procedures prescribed from time to time by, the Depositary or its
nominee, and otherwise in accordance with such agreements, regulations and
procedures.
Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of
this Note due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds
upon presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any
applicable repayment of this Note, upon submission of a duly completed election
form of "Option to Elect Repayment" or, in the case of any Change in Control
Purchase, a duly completed Purchase Notice, together with a duly completed form
of "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase," in each case, as contemplated on the
reverse hereof) at the corporate trust office of the Trustee (the "Corporate
Trust Office") maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, currently located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ 21 West, New York,
New York 10286, or at such other paying agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, as the Company may determine; provided, however, that if the
Specified Currency specified above is other than United States dollars and such
payment is to be made in the Specified Currency in accordance with the
provisions set forth below, such payment will be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the Holder
hereof at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that such
bank has appropriate facilities therefor and that this Note (and, if applicable,
a duly completed form of "Option to Elect Repayment" or, in the case of any
Change of Control Purchase, a duly completed Purchase Notice, together with a
duly completed form of "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase") is presented and
surrendered at the aforementioned office of the Trustee in time for the Trustee
to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.
Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity
Date will be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto
as such address shall appear in the Security Register maintained at the
aforementioned office of the Trustee; 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 appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received in writing by 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.
The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in
connection with making payments by wire transfer, but not any tax, assessment or
governmental charge imposed upon the Holder of this Note. If this Note is a
certificated Note as specified above, payment of the principal, premium, if any,
and interest payable on the Maturity Date in respect of this Note will be made
in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note accompanied
A-3
21
by wire instructions at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, provided that
this Note is presented to the Trustee in time for the Trustee to make such
payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.
REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET
FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF AND THE ATTACHED ADDENDUM, IF ANY, WHICH FURTHER
PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS
PLACE.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Addendum is attached hereto or
"Other/Additional Provisions" apply to this Note as specified above, this Note
shall be subject to the terms set forth in such Addendum or such
"Other/Additional Provisions."
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by

authorized signatory, this Note will not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
SECTION 1. General. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of
Securities of the Company (the "Notes"), issued and to be issued in one or more
series under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 1, 1999 (the "Senior
Indenture") and the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 30, 2001
(the "Third Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Senior Indenture, the
"Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (herein
called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of
the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the Securities of the series
designated as "Medium-Term Notes Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue."
The Notes may bear different dates, mature at different times, bear interest at
different rates, be subject to different redemption provisions and may otherwise
vary, all as provided in the Indenture. All terms used but not defined in this
Note or in an Addendum hereto shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the Indenture or on the face hereof, as the case may be.
SECTION 2. Payments. Interest on this Note will be payable in
arrears on the Interest Payment Date or Interest Payment Dates as specified on
the face hereof and, in either case, on the Maturity Date.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, payments on this Note
with respect to any Interest Payment Date or Maturity will include interest
accrued from and including the Original Issue Date, or from and including the
most recent Interest Payment to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for, to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date. Interest
on this Note will be calculated and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Payment
Dates for Fixed Rate Notes, including Fixed Rate Amortizing Notes, will occur
semi-annually on each January 15 and July 15 and the Regular Record Dates will
be each January 1 and July 1 (whether or not a Business Day). If any Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date for any Fixed Rate Note is a day that is not a
Business Day, all payments to be made on such day with respect to such Note will
be made on the next day that is a Business Day with the same force and effect as
if made on the due date, and no additional interest will be payable as a result
of such delayed payment.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, if this Note is an
Amortizing Note, payments with respect to this Note will be applied first to
interest due and payable hereon and then to the reduction of the unpaid
principal amount hereof. If this Note is an Amortizing Note, a table setting
forth repayment information in respect to this Note will be provided herein to
the original purchaser hereof and will be available, upon request, to subsequent
Holders.
All percentages resulting from any calculations with respect to this
Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point (with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded
upward) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from any such calculation
with respect to this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent
A-5
23
(with one-half cent being rounded upward) or in the case of a Specified Currency
other than U.S. dollars, to the nearest unit of such Specified Currency (with
one-half unit being rounded upwards).
"Business Day," as used in this Note, means any day, other than a
Saturday or Sunday that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial
banks are authorized or required by law, regulation, or executive order to close
in The City of New York; provided, however, that, if the Specified Currency is
other than U.S. dollars and any payment is to be made in the Specified Currency
in accordance with the provisions hereof, such day must also not be 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, such day must also be a day on which the Trans-European Automated
Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open).
"Principal Financial Center" means the capital city of the country
issuing the Specified Currency; provided, however, that with respect to U.S.
dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Deutsche marks, Dutch guilders,
Italian lire, South African rand and Swiss francs, the "Principal Financial
Center" shall be The City of New York, Sydney and (solely in the case of the
Specified Currency) Melbourne, Toronto, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Milan,
Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if
any, and interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency (or, if the
Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts, in such other coin or currency of the
country which issued the Specified Currency as at the time of such payment is
legal tender for the payment of such debts). If the Specified Currency is other
than United States dollars, except as otherwise provided below, any such amounts
so payable by the Company will be converted by the Exchange Rate Agent specified
above into United States dollars for payment to the Holder of this Note.
If the Specified Currency shown on the face hereof is other than
U.S. dollars, except as provided below, payments of interest and principal (and
premium, if any) with respect to this Note will be made in U.S. dollars unless
the Holder of this Note on the relevant Regular Record Date or on the Maturity
Date, as the case may be, has transmitted a written request for such payment in
the Specified Currency to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office on or prior
to such Regular Record Date or a date at least 15 calendar days prior to the
Maturity Date, as the case may be. Such request may be delivered by mail, by
hand or by cable, telex or any other form of facsimile transmission. The Holder
of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future
payments in the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if
any, and/or interest and need not file a separate election for each payment. Any
such request made with respect to this Note by a Holder will remain in effect
with respect to any further payments of interest and principal (and premium, if
any) with respect to this Note payable to such Holder, until such request is
revoked by written notice delivered to the Trustee on or prior to the relevant
Regular Record Date or a date at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity
Date, as the case may be (but no such revocation may be made with respect to
payments made on this Note if an Event of Default has occurred with respect
hereto or upon the giving of a notice of redemption). A Holder whose Note is
registered in the name of a broker or nominee should contact such broker or
nominee to determine whether and how an election to receive payments in the
Specified Currency may be made.
The U.S. dollar amount to be received by the Holder of this Note who
does not elect to receive payments in the Specified Currency will be based on
the highest bid quotation for
A-6
24
the purchase of U.S. dollars in exchange for the Specified Currency received by
the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) 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 (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate
Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Company for the
purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for
settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified
Currency payable to all Holders of Notes scheduled to receive U.S. dollar
payments and at which such quoting dealer commits to execute a contract. All
exchange rate costs associated with any payment in U.S. dollars on this Note
will be borne by the Holder by deductions from such payment. If fewer than three
such bid quotations are available at 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the
second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date, such payment will be
made in the Specified Currency. Any exchange rate agent (the "Exchange Rate
Agent") with respect to this Note is specified on the face hereof.
If any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in
respect of this Note is required to be made in the Specified Currency and the
Specified Currency is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or
other circumstances beyond the Company's control, then the Company will be
entitled to satisfy its obligations to the Holder of this Note by making
payments in U.S. dollars. The amount of each such payment of U.S. dollars shall
be computed on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate, as such payment shall be
determined by the Exchange Rate Agent, on the second Business Day prior to such
payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of
the most recently available Market Exchange Rate. "Market Exchange Rate", for a
Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, means the noon dollar buying rate in
The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency as certified
for customs purposes or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The Company agrees to indemnify the Holder of this Note against any
loss incurred by the Holder hereof as a result of any judgment or order being
given or made against the Company for any amount due hereunder and such judgment
or order requiring payment in a currency or composite 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 entering such judgment
or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the Holder hereof, 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 it, as the case
may be. The foregoing indemnity constitutes a separate and independent
obligation of the Company 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.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent
shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Note.
SECTION 3. Redemption. This Note will be redeemable at the option of
the Company prior to the Stated Maturity Date only if a Redemption Date or
Redemption Dates or if an Initial Redemption Date are specified on the face
hereof. If a Redemption Date or Redemption Dates are specified, this Note will
be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on such Redemption Date or
Redemption Dates, as the case may be. If an Initial Redemption Date is
specified, this Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company
on any date on and after such Initial Redemption Date. Redemptions occurring on
any Redemption Date or on or after any an Initial Redemption Date will be made,
in either case, in
A-7
25
whole or from time to time in part in increments of $1,000 or other integral
multiple of an Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal
amount hereof shall be at least $1,000 or such other integral multiple of an
Authorized Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined below), plus
unpaid interest accrued thereon to but excluding the Redemption Date or the
Initial Redemption Date, as the case may be, but payments due with respect to
this Note prior to the Redemption Date or the Initial Redemption Date, as the
case may be, will be payable to the Holder of this Note of record at the close
of business on the relevant Regular Record Date specified on the face hereof,
all as provided in the Indenture. The Company may exercise such option by
causing the Trustee to mail a notice of such redemption at least 30 but not more
than 60 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date or the Initial Redemption
Date, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. In
the event of redemption of this Note in part only, this Note will be cancelled
and a new Note or Notes of like tenor representing the unredeemed portion hereof
and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as this Note shall be issued
by the Company in the name of the Holder hereof upon the presentation and
surrender hereof.
"Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction" means the Annual Redemption
Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof.
"Initial Redemption Date" means the Initial Redemption Date
specified on the face hereof.
"Initial Redemption Percentage" means the Initial Redemption
Percentage specified on the face hereof.
"Redemption Date" means the Redemption Date or any of the Redemption
Dates specified on the face hereof.
"Redemption Price" means an amount equal to (i) 100% of the
principal amount to be redeemed or (ii) the Initial Redemption Percentage
specified on the face hereof (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage
Reduction, if applicable) multiplied by the unpaid principal amount thereof to
be redeemed.
The Initial Redemption Percentage, if any, applicable to a Note
shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by an amount
equal to the applicable Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, until
the Redemption Price is equal to 100% of the unpaid amount thereof to be
redeemed.
SECTION 4. Repayment at Option of Holder. This Note will be subject
to repayment by the Company at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the
Stated Maturity Date on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the
face hereof, in whole or, from time to time, in part in increments of $1,000 or
such other integral multiple of an Authorized Denomination (provided that any
remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $1,000 or such other minimum
Authorized Denomination), at a repayment price equal to 100% of the unpaid
principal amount to be repaid, together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to
the date fixed for repayment (the "Repayment Date"). For this Note to be repaid,
the Trustee must receive at its Corporate Trust Office not more than 60 nor less
than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date, this Note and [the form
thereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed](1) [instructions to
such effect forwarded by the Holder hereof](2) Exercise of such repayment option
--------------------
(1) Applicable to certificated Notes only.
(2) Applicable to Book-Entry Securities only.
A-8
26
by the Holder hereof will be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note
in part only, a new Note or Notes of like tenor representing the unredeemed
portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as this Note
shall be issued by the Company in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
presentation and surrender hereof.
If this Note is a Book-Entry Security as specified on the face
hereof, while this Note is represented by one or more Book-Entry Securities
registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, the option for
repayment may be exercised by a participant that has an account with the
Depositary, on behalf of the beneficial owner of this Note, by delivering a
written notice substantially similar to the form below entitled "Option to Elect
Repayment" duly completed to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office (or such
other address of which the Company will from time to time notify the Holders),
at least 30 but not more than 60 calendar days prior to an Optional Repayment
Date. A notice of election from a participant on behalf of the beneficial owner
of this Note to exercise the option to have this Note repaid must be received by
the Trustee by 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the last day for giving such
notice. In order to ensure that a notice is received by the Trustee on a
particular day, the beneficial owner of this Note must so direct the applicable
participant before such participant's deadline for accepting instructions for
that day. Different firms may have different deadlines for accepting
instructions from their customers. Accordingly, the beneficial owner of this
note should consult the participant through which such beneficial owner owns its
interest herein for the deadline for such participant. All notices shall be
executed by a duly authorized officer of such participant (with signatures
guaranteed) and will be irrevocable. In addition, the beneficial owner of this
Note shall effect delivery at the time such notice of election is given to the
Depositary by causing the applicable participant to transfer such beneficial
owner's interest in this Note, on the Depositary's records, to the Trustee.
SECTION 5. Company Purchase of Note at Option of Holder. Upon the
occurrence of a Change in Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes,
each Holder of such Notes shall have the right to require the Company to
purchase such Holder's Notes, in whole or in part, in a principal amount in
denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof (or, if the Specified
Currency is other than U.S. dollars, the equivalent thereof in the Specified
Currency), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on
any Change in Control Payment Date plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to
the Change in Control Payment Date. The Holder of this Note may elect to have
this Note or a portion thereof, in an Authorized Denomination purchased by
completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" appearing
below and tendering this Note pursuant to the Change in Control Notice.
If this Note is a Book-Entry Security as specified on the face
hereof, while this Note is represented by one or more Book-Entry Securities
registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, the option of the
Holder to cause the Company to purchase this Note may be exercised by a
participant that has an account with the Depositary, on behalf of the beneficial
owner of this Note, by delivering a Purchase Notice (as defined in Section 701
of the Third Supplemental Indenture) duly completed to the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office (or such other address of which the Company will from
time to time notify the Holders), before the close of business on the Business
Day (as defined in the Senior Indenture) immediately prior to the date that is
60 Business Days (as defined in the Senior Indenture) after the occurrence of a
Change in Control Triggering Event. A notice of election from a participant on
behalf of the beneficial owner of this Note to exercise the option to have this
Note repaid must be received by the Trustee by 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the last day for giving such notice. In order to ensure that a notice is
received by the Trustee on a particular day, the beneficial owner of this Note
must so direct the applicable participant before such participant's deadline for
accepting instructions for that day. Different firms may have different
deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly,
A-9
27
the beneficial owner of this note should consult the participant through which
such beneficial owner owns its interest herein for the deadline for such
participant. All notices shall be executed by a duly authorized officer of such
participant (with signatures guaranteed) and will be irrevocable. In addition,
the beneficial owner of this Note shall effect delivery at the time such notice
of election is given to the Depositary by causing the applicable participant to
transfer such beneficial owner's interest in this Note, on the Depositary's
records, to the Trustee.
SECTION 6. Sinking Fund. This Note is not subject to, or entitled to
the benefits of, a sinking fund.
SECTION 7. Discount Notes. If this Note is a Discount Note as
specified on the face hereof, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note in
the event of redemption, repayment, or acceleration of maturity will be equal to
the sum of (1) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any
accruals of the Discount, as defined below) and, in the event of any redemption
of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage
(as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and
(2) any unpaid interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date, Repayment Date,
or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The difference between
the Issue Price and 100% of the principal amount of this Note is referred to
herein as the "Discount."
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued
as of any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of
this Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause an assumed yield on the
Note to be constant. The assumed 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 (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), a
coupon rate equal to the initial interest rate applicable to this Note and an
assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period
from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the "Initial
Period") is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate
amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the
Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be
divided into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short
period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.
SECTION 8. Events of Default. If any Event of Default with respect
to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the
Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if this Note is a Discount Note, the amount so
declared to be due and payable will be the accreted amount of this Note as of
the date of such declaration as specified under Section 7.
SECTION 9. Modification or Waiver; Obligation of the Company
Absolute. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes to be affected at any time by
the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority of
aggregate principal amount or at least two-thirds of the aggregate principal
amount, as applicable, of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any
Note issued upon the
A-10
28
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note
or of the Indenture will alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on this Note at the times, places and rates herein prescribed.
SECTION 10. Discharge, Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The
Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire
indebtedness of the Company on this Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants
and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions specified therein, which provisions apply to this Note.
SECTION 11. Authorized Denominations. The Notes are issuable only in
fully registered global or fully registered certificated form, without coupons,
in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 (or the
minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof) in excess thereof;
provided, however, that the minimum denominations of any Foreign Currency Notes
shall be specified on the face hereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject
to certain limitations therein specified and to the limitations described below,
if applicable, Notes are exchangeable for Notes of this series of like aggregate
principal amount and like Stated Maturity Date and with like terms and
conditions of a different Authorized Denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
SECTION 12. Registration of Transfer. As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein specified and to the limitations
described below, if applicable, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the
Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at
the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Security Registrar (which will initially be the Trustee at
the Corporate Trust Office, duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series
with like terms and conditions of Authorized Denominations and for the same
Stated Maturity Date and aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
If this Note is a Book-Entry Security as specified on the face
hereof, this Note is exchangeable for certificated Notes only upon the terms and
conditions provided in the Indenture. Except as provided in the Indenture,
owners of beneficial interests in this Book-Entry Security will not be entitled
to receive physical delivery of Notes in certificated registered form and will
not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than
certain exchanges not involving any transfer).
SECTION 13. Owners. Prior to due presentment of this Note for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of
the Company, the Trustee or any such agent will be affected by notice to the
contrary.

governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 15. Defined Terms. All terms used in this Note which are
defined in the Indenture will have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture; and all references in the Indenture to "Security" or "Securities"

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.

(the "Third Supplemental Indenture" and together with the Senior Indenture, the
"Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as trustee (herein
called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference
is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of
the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,

The Notes may bear different dates, mature at different times, bear interest at
different rates, be subject to different redemption provisions and may otherwise
vary, all as provided in the Indenture. All terms used but not defined in this
Note or in an Addendum hereto shall have the meanings assigned to said terms in
the Indenture or on the face hereof, as the case may be.
SECTION 2. Interest Rate Calculations; Payments. The interest

any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be
the Initial Interest Rate; (ii) If the Interest Category of this Note is

interest accrued from and including the Original Issue Date, or from and
including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid
or duly provided for, to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or such

is computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day from the
Original Issue Date, or from the last date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for, to the date for which accrued interest is being calculated.
The interest factor for each such day is computed by dividing the interest rate
applicable to such day by 360, if the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face

reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, will be calculated in each period
in the same manner as if only the applicable Interest Rate Basis specified on
the face hereof applied.

Other Provisions
The Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate on this Note
in accordance with the foregoing no later that the Calculation Date.
All percentages resulting from any calculations with respect to this
Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point (with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded
upward) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from any such calculation
with respect to this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent or in the case of
a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, to the nearest unit of such
Specified Currency (with one-half unit being rounded upwards).
If the Specified Currency shown on the face hereof is other than U.S.
dollars, except as provided below, payments of interest and principal (and
premium, if any) with respect to this Note will be made in U.S. dollars unless
the Holder of this Note on the relevant Regular Record Date or on the Maturity
Date, as the case may be, has transmitted a written request for such payment in
the Specified Currency to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office on or prior
to such Regular Record Date or a date at least 15 days prior to the Maturity
Date, as the case may be. Such request may be delivered by mail, by hand or by
cable, telex or any other form of facsimile transmission. The Holder of this
Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments in
the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or
interest and need not file a separate election for each payment. Any such
request made with respect to this Note by a Holder will remain in effect with
respect to any further payments of interest and principal (and premium, if any)
with respect to this Note payable to such Holder, until such request is revoked
by written notice received by the Trustee on or prior to the relevant Regular
Record Date or a date 15 days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be
(but no such revocation may be made with respect to payments made on this Note
if an Event of Default has occurred with respect hereto or upon the giving of a
notice of redemption). A Holder whose Note is registered in the name of a broker
or nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine whether and how an
election to receive payments in the Specified Currency may be made.
The U.S. dollar amount to be received by the Holder of this Note who
does not elect to receive payments in the Specified Currency will be based on
the highest bid quotation for the purchase of U.S. dollars in exchange for the
Specified Currency received by the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) 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 (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange
Rate Agent and approved by the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of
the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on such payment date in
the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all Holders of Notes
scheduled to receive U.S. dollar payments and at which such quoting dealer
commits to execute a contract. All exchange rate costs associated with any
payment in U.S. dollars on this Note will be borne by the Holder by deductions
from such payment. If fewer than three such bid quotations are available at
11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the
applicable payment date, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency.
Any exchange rate agent (the "Exchange Rate Agent") with respect to this Note is
specified on the face hereof.

If any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in
respect of this Note is required to be made in the Specified Currency and if the
Specified Currency is unavailable, due to the imposition of exchange controls or
other circumstances beyond the Company's control, then the Company will be
entitled to satisfy its obligations to the Holder of this Note by making
payments in U.S. dollars. The amount of each such payment of U.S. dollars shall
be computed on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate, as such payment shall be
determined by the Exchange Rate Agent, on the second Business Day prior to such
payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of
the most recently available Market Exchange Rate. "Market Exchange Rate," for a
Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, means the noon dollar buying rate in
The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified Currency as certified
for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The Company agrees to indemnify the Holder of this Note against any
loss incurred by the Holder hereof as a result of any judgment or order being
given or made against the Company for any amount due hereunder and such judgment
or order requiring payment in a currency or composite 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 entering such judgment
or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the Holder hereof, 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 it, as the case
may be. The foregoing indemnity constitutes a separate and independent
obligation of the Company 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.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent
shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Note.
SECTION 3. Redemption. This Note will be redeemable at the option of
the Company prior to the Stated Maturity Date only if a Redemption Date or
Redemption Dates or if an Initial Redemption Date are specified on the face

be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on such Redemption Date or
Redemption Dates, as the case may be. If an Initial Redemption Date is
specified, this Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company
on any date on and after such Initial Redemption Date. Redemptions occurring on
any Redemption Date or on or after any an Initial Redemption Date will be made,
in either case, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of $1,000 or
other integral multiple of an Authorized Denomination (provided that any
remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least $1,000 or such other
integral multiple of an Authorized Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as
defined below), plus unpaid interest accrued thereon to but excluding the
Redemption Date or the Initial Redemption Date, as the case may be, but payments
due with respect to this Note prior to the Redemption Date or the Initial
Redemption Date, as the case may be, will be payable to the Holder of this Note
of record at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date specified
on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. The Company may exercise
such option by causing the Trustee to mail to the Holder of this Note a notice
of such redemption, at least 30 but not more than 60 calendar days prior to the
Redemption Date or the Initial Redemption Date, as the case may be, in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. In the event of redemption of
this Note in part only, this Note will be cancelled and a new Note or Notes of
like tenor representing the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the

to repayment by the Company at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the
Stated Maturity Date on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the

than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date, this Note and [the form
thereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed](1) [instructions to

this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of like tenor representing the
unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as

the presentation and surrender hereof.
If this Note is a Book-Entry Security as specified on the face
hereof, while this Note is represented by one or more Book-Entry Securities
registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, the option for
repayment may be exercised by a participant that has an account with the
Depositary, on behalf of the beneficial owner of this Note, by delivering a
written notice substantially similar to the form below entitled "Option to Elect
Repayment" duly completed to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office (or such
other address of which the Company will from time to time notify the Holders),
at least 30 but not more than 60 calendar days prior to an Optional Repayment
Date. A notice of election from a participant on behalf of the beneficial owner
of this Note to exercise the option to have this Note repaid must be received by

participant before such participant's deadline for accepting instructions for
that day. Different firms may have different deadlines for accepting
instructions from their customers. Accordingly, the beneficial owner of this

note should consult the participant through which such beneficial owner owns its
interest herein for the deadline for such participant. All notices shall be

occurrence of a Change in Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes,
each Holder of such Notes shall have the right to require the Company to
purchase such Holder's Notes, in whole or in part, in a principal amount in
denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof (or, if the Specified
Currency is other than U.S. dollars, the equivalent thereof in the Specified
Currency), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on
any Change in Control Payment Date plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to
the Change in Control Payment Date. The Holder of this Note may elect to have
this Note or a portion thereof, in an Authorized Denomination purchased by
completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" appearing
below and tendering this Note pursuant to the Change in Control Notice.
If this Note is a Book-Entry Security as specified on the face
hereof, while this Note is represented by one or more Book-Entry Securities
registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, the option of the
Holder to cause the Company to purchase this Note may be exercised by a
participant that has an account with the Depositary, on behalf of the beneficial
owner of this Note, by delivering a Purchase Notice (as defined in Section 701
of the Third Supplemental Indenture) duly completed to the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office (or such other address of which the Company will from
time to time notify the Holders), before the close of business on the Business
Day (as defined in the Senior Indenture) immediately prior to the date that is
60 Business Days (as defined in the Senior Indenture) after the occurrence of a
Change in Control Triggering Event. A notice of election from a participant on
behalf of the beneficial owner of this Note to exercise the option to have this
Note repaid must be received by the Trustee by 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the last day for giving such notice. In order to ensure that a notice is

(with signatures guaranteed) and will be irrevocable. In addition, the
beneficial owner of this Note shall effect delivery at the time such notice of
election is given to the Depositary by causing the applicable participant to
transfer such beneficial owner's interest in this Note, on the Depositary's
records, to the Trustee.
SECTION 6. Sinking Fund. This Note is not subject to, or entitled to
the benefits of, a sinking fund.
SECTION 7. Discount Notes. If this Note is a Discount Note as
specified on the face hereof, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note in
the event of redemption, repayment, or acceleration of maturity will be equal to
the sum of (1) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any
accruals of the Discount, as defined below) and, in the event of any redemption
of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage
(as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and
(2) any unpaid interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date, Repayment Date,
or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The difference between
the Issue Price and 100% of the principal amount of this Note is referred to
herein as the "Discount."
B-20
53
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued
as of any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of
this Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause an assumed yield on the
Note to be constant. The assumed 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 (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), a
coupon rate equal to the initial interest rate applicable to this Note and an
assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period
from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the "Initial
Period") is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate
amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the
Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be
divided into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short
period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.
SECTION 8. Events of Default. If any Event of Default with respect to
Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes
of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if this Note is a Discount Note, the amount so declared
to be due and payable will be the accreted amount of this Note as of the date of
such declaration as specified under Section 7.
SECTION 9. Modification or Waiver; Obligation of the Company
Absolute. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes to be affected at any time by
the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority of
aggregate principal amount or at least two-thirds of the aggregate principal
amount, as applicable, of the Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal
amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any
Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or
in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Note.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture will alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on this Note at the times, places and rates, herein prescribed.
SECTION 10. Discharge, Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The
Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire
indebtedness of the Company on this Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants
and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions specified therein, which provisions apply to this Note.

fully registered global or fully registered certificated form, without coupons,
in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 (or, the
minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof) in excess thereof;
provided, however, that the minimum denominations of any Foreign Currency Notes
shall be specified on the face hereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject
to certain limitations therein specified and to the limitations described below,
if applicable, Notes are exchangeable for Notes of this series of like aggregate
principal amount and like Stated Maturity Date and with like terms and
conditions of a different Authorized Denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.

54
SECTION 12. Registration of Transfer. As provided in the Indenture
and subject to certain limitations therein specified and to the limitations
described below, if applicable, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the
Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at
the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose duly endorsed
by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Security Registrar (which will initially be the Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office) duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series
with like terms and conditions, of Authorized Denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

hereof, this Note is exchangeable for certificated Notes only upon the terms and
conditions provided in the Indenture. Except as provided in the Indenture,
owners of beneficial interests in this Book-Entry Security will not be entitled

any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than
certain exchanges not involving any transfer).
