Boeing Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company",
which term includes any successor corporation under the Subordinated Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to ,
or registered assigns, the principal sum of , on the Stated Maturity
Date specified above (or any Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each as defined
on the reverse hereof) (each such Stated Maturity Date, Redemption Date and
Repayment Date and any other date on which the principal or an installment of
principal of this Note shall become due and payable, whether by declaration of
acceleration or otherwise, being hereinafter referred to as the "Maturity Date"
with respect to the principal repayable on such date) and to pay interest
thereon, at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above
until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above and thereafter at a rate
determined in accordance with the provisions specified above and on the reverse
hereof with respect to one or more Interest Rate Bases specified above until the
principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. The Company will
pay interest in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, if any, specified above
(each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing with the first Interest Payment
Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the
Maturity Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between
a Record Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date,
interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date next
succeeding the Original Issue Date to the holder of this Note on the Record Date
with respect to such second Interest Payment Date.
References herein to "this Note", "hereof", "herein" and comparable
terms shall include an Addendum hereto if an Addendum is specified above.
Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, if this Note is a
Global Security and is held in book-entry form through the facilities of the
Depositary, payments on this Note will be made to the Depositary or its nominee
in accordance with the arrangements then in effect between the Trustee and the
Depositary.
Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the immediately
preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest has been
paid or duly provided for with respect to this Note) to, but excluding, the
applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each,
an "Interest Period"). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions
described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more
predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth
calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof)
immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date"); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the
person to whom the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be
payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for
("Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on any
Record Date, and shall be paid to the person in whose name this Note is
registered at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special
Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee hereinafter referred to, notice whereof shall be given to the holder of
this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special
Record Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this Note
may be listed,
3
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully
provided for in the Subordinated Indenture.
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, a duly completed election form as contemplated on the
reverse hereof) at the corporate trust office of the Trustee maintained for that
purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, currently located at
Four Albany Street, New York, New York 10015, 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 such payment is to be made in a Specified Currency
other than United States dollars as 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 election form) 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 specified above 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.
If any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date would
otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall
be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an
applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately
preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect
as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue with
respect to such payment for the period from and after the Maturity Date to the
date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
As used herein, "Business Day" 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 United States dollars, such day is also not a day on which commercial banks
are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the
Principal Financial Center (as defined below) of the country issuing the
Specified Currency (or, if the Specified Currency is Euro, such day is also a
day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express
Transfer (TARGET) System is open); PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if LIBOR is an
applicable Interest Rate Basis, such day is also a London Business
4
Day (as defined below). "London Business Day" means a day on which commercial
banks are open for business (including dealings in the Designated LIBOR Currency
(as defined on the reverse hereof)) in London. "Principal Financial Center"
means (i) the capital city of the country issuing the Specified Currency or (ii)
the capital city of the country to which the Designated LIBOR Currency relates,
as applicable, except, in the case of (i) or (ii), that with respect to United
States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Deutsche marks, Dutch
guilders, Portuguese escudos, South African rand and Swiss francs, the
"Principal Financial Center" shall be The City of New York, Sydney and (solely
with respect to the Specified Currency) Melbourne, Toronto, Frankfurt,
Amsterdam, London (solely in the case of the Designated LIBOR Currency),
Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.
The Company is obligated to make payments 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, 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 is other than United States dollars, the
holder of this Note may elect to receive any amount payable hereunder in such
Specified Currency. If the holder of this Note shall not have duly made an
election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal,
premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified
Currency, any United States dollar amount to be received by the holder of this
Note will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received
by the 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 (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 United States dollars for
settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified
Currency payable to all holders of Notes scheduled to receive United States
dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a
contract. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note
by deductions from such payments. If three such bid quotations are not
available, payments on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the
holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any
payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note
in the Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to
the Trustee at its corporate trust office in The City of New York on or prior to
the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity
Date, as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered
or sent by cable, telex or 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. Such election
will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but
written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or
prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the
Maturity Date, as the case may be.
5
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars or a
composite currency and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an
election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal,
premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified
Currency and if the Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition
of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the
Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the
holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars on the
basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the second Business
Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then
available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate
or as otherwise specified on the face hereof. The "Market Exchange Rate" for
the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New
York for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as certified for customs
purposes by (or if not so certified, as otherwise determined by) the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made under such circumstances in United
States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the
Subordinated Indenture).
If the Specified Currency is a composite currency and the holder of
this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified
portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in
respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if such composite currency
is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Company, then the Company will be
entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such
payment in United States dollars. The amount of each payment in United States
dollars shall be computed by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the
equivalent of the composite currency in United States dollars. The component
currencies of the composite currency for this purpose (collectively, the
"Component Currencies" and each, a "Component Currency") shall be the
currency amounts that were components of the composite currency as of the
last day on which the composite currency was used. The equivalent of the
composite currency in United States dollars shall be calculated by
aggregating the United States dollar equivalents of the Component Currencies.
The United States dollar equivalent of each of the Component Currencies shall
be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the most recently
available Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency, or as
otherwise specified on the face hereof.
If the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of
combination or subdivision, the number of units of the currency as a
Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If
two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the
amounts of those currencies as Component Currencies shall be replaced by an
amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of the
consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency. If any
Component Currency is divided into two or more currencies, the amount of the
original Component Currency shall be replaced by the amounts of such two or
more currencies, the sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the
original Component Currency.
6
The Company 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 Company 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 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.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set
forth on the reverse hereof and, if so specified above, in the Addendum
hereto, which further provisions shall have the same force and effect as if
set forth on the face hereof.
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein, if the
face of this Note specifies that an Addendum is attached hereto or that
"Other/Additional Provisions" apply, 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
the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Subordinated Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
7
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly
executed, manually or in facsimile, and an imprint or facsimile of its corporate
seal to be imprinted hereon.

Series XI SUBORDINATED MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(Floating Rate)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Debt Securities (the
"Debt Securities") of the Company issued and to be issued under a
Subordinated Indenture, dated as of July 10, 2000, and as amended, modified
or supplemented from time to time (the "Subordinated Indenture"), between the
Company and Bankers Trust Company, as successor Trustee (the "Trustee", which
term includes any successor trustee under the Subordinated Indenture), to
which Subordinated 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 Debt Securities, and of the terms upon which
the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Note is one of the series of Debt Securities designated as "Series XI
Subordinated Medium-Term Notes Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue"
(the "Notes"). All terms used but not defined in this Note specified on the
face hereof or in an Addendum hereto shall have the meanings assigned to such
terms in the Subordinated Indenture.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of U.S.$100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof
or the minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.
This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise
provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following
two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated Maturity
Date.
This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company
on any date on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on
the face hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of
U.S.$1,000 or, if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars,
the minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof (provided
that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$100,000 or
such minimum Authorized Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined
below), together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for
redemption (each, a "Redemption Date"), on notice given no more than 60 nor
less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date and in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture. The "Redemption Price" shall initially
be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof multiplied
by the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be redeemed. The Initial
Redemption Percentage shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial
Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any,
specified on the face hereof until the Redemption Price is 100% of unpaid
principal amount to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in
part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and
otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of
the holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
This Note will be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of
the holder hereof on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the
face hereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or, if the
Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the
9
minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof (provided that
any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$100,000 or such
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 (each, a "Repayment Date"). For this
Note to be repaid, this Note must be received, together with the form hereon
entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, by the Trustee at its
corporate trust office not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior
to the Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof
will be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a
new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid portion hereof and otherwise having
the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof
upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof
as an Original Issue Discount Note, the amount payable to the holder of this
Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity of this
Note will be equal to the sum of (1) the Issue Price specified on the face
hereof (increased by any accruals of Discount, as defined below) and, in the
event of any redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial
Redemption Percentage specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement (as
adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (2)
any accrued and unpaid interest on this Note from the Original Issue Date 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", and the Discount will be
ratably accrued over the term of this Note for purposes of determining the
amount payable upon redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity of this
Note.
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.
The interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows:
(i) Unless the Interest Category of this Note is specified on
the face hereof as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note" or an
"Inverse Floating Rate Note", this Note shall be designated as
a "Regular Floating Rate Note" and, except as set forth below
or on the face hereof, shall bear interest at the rate
determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis
or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b)
multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as
specified on
10
the face hereof. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset
Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable
shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the
face hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the interest rate in
effect for the period, if 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 specified on
the face hereof as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note", then,
except as set forth below or on the face hereof, this Note
shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to
the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or
minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the
Spread Multiplier, if any in each case specified on the
face hereof. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date,
the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable
shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that (y) the interest rate in effect for the
period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial
Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate and
(z) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing
on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified on the face
hereof to the Maturity Date shall be the Fixed Interest
Rate specified on the face hereof or, if no such Fixed
Interest Rate is specified, the interest rate in effect
hereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate
Commencement Date.
(iii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on
the face hereof as an "Inverse Floating Rate Note", then,
except as set forth below or on the face hereof, this Note
shall bear interest at the Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate
determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis
or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b)
multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
the interest rate hereon shall not be less than zero.
Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at
which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as
of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the
Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall
be the Initial Interest Rate.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the rate with respect
to each Interest Rate Basis will be determined in accordance with the
applicable provisions below. Except as set forth above or on the face hereof,
the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (i) if such day is an
Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest
Determination Date (as hereinafter defined) immediately preceding such
Interest Reset Date or (ii) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the
interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately
preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date. If any Interest Reset Date
would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date
shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR
is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately
preceding Business Day. In addition, if the Treasury Rate is an applicable
Interest Rate Basis, if the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall
on an Interest Reset Date, the particular Interest Reset Date will be
postpone to the next succeeding Business Day.
The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing
on the related Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent
as of the applicable Interest
11
Determination Date and will be calculated by the Calculation Agent on or
prior to the Calculation Date (as defined below), except with respect to
LIBOR and the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, which will be calculated
on such Interest Determination Date. The "Interest Determination Date" with
respect to the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate will be the Business Day
immediately preceding the Interest Reset Date; the "Interest Determination
Date" with respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate and the Commercial Paper Rate
will be the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest
Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the Eleventh
District Cost of Funds Rate shall be the last working day of the month
immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date on which the Federal
Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of San Francisco") publishes the
Index (as defined below); and the "Interest Determination Date" with respect
to LIBOR shall be the second London Business Day immediately preceding the
applicable Interest Reset Date, unless the Designated LIBOR Currency is
British pounds sterling, in which case the "Interest Determination Date" will
be the applicable Interest Reset Date. The "Interest Determination Date" with
respect to the Treasury Rate shall be the day in the week in which the
applicable Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined
below) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are normally sold at an auction
held on Monday of each week, unless such Monday is a legal holiday, in which
case the auction is normally held on the immediately succeeding Tuesday,
although such auction may be held on the preceding Friday); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the
applicable Interest Reset Date, the "Interest Determination Date" shall be
such preceding Friday. If the interest rate of this Note is determined with
reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases specified on the face hereof,
the "Interest Determination Date" pertaining to this Note shall be the most
recent Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the
applicable Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is
determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined as of such date,
and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the related Interest
Reset Date.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto,
the rate with respect to each Interest Rate Basis will be determined in
accordance with the applicable provisions below.
CD RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereof as the CD Rate, the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable
Interest Determination Date (a "CD Rate Interest Determination Date") as the
rate on such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519)
(as defined below) under the heading "CDs (secondary market)", or, if not
published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the
rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States
dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity as published in H.15 Daily
Update (as hereinafter defined), or such other recognized electronic source used
for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "CDs (secondary
market)". If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or
another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the

CMT RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereof as the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CMT Rate Interest Determination
Date") as the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined
below) under the caption "...Treasury Constant Maturities...Federal Reserve
Board Release H.15...Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.", under the column for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index (as defined below) for (i) if the Designated CMT
Telerate Page is 7051, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date and
(ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the weekly or monthly average,
as specified on the face hereof, for the week or month, as applicable, ended
immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which the related CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date falls. If such rate is no longer displayed on
the relevant page or is not so displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in H.15(519). If such rate is no
longer published or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the

of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of
the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate
formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in
H.15(519). If such information is not so provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will
be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market
offered rates as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records,
by three leading primary United States government securities dealers (each, a
"Reference Dealer") in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent
(from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and
eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations
of the United States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of
approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity
of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the
Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three such Treasury Note quotations, the
CMT
13
Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean
of the secondary market offered rates as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York
City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference
Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by
the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of
equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of
equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury Notes with an original maturity of
the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity
Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity
Index and in an amount of at least U.S.$100 million. If three or four (and not
five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described 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 such quotes will be eliminated; provided,
however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation
Agent are quoting as mentioned herein, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as
described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity
equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the Calculation Agent will
obtain quotations for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to
maturity.
"Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity
of the United States Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30

Index Maturity as published in H.15(519) under the caption "Commercial
Paper-Nonfinancial" or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest
Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity as published
in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the
purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "Commercial
Paper-Nonfinancial.". If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily
Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on such Commercial
Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation
Agent and shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered
rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper
Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of United States
dollar commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation
Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity placed for industrial
issuers whose bond rating is "Aa", or the equivalent, from a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization;
14
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent

determined as of such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will
be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest
Determination Date.

such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date falls, as
set forth under the caption "11th District" on the display on Bridge Telerate,
Inc. (or any successor service) on page 7058 ("Telerate Page 7058") as of 11:00

Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 7058 on such
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, then the
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds
Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the monthly weighted average cost of
funds paid by member institutions of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank
District that was most recently announced (the "Index") by the FHLB of San
Francisco as such cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding
such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If the
FHLB of San Francisco fails to announce the Index on or prior to such Eleventh
District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for the calendar month
immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate determined as of
such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be
the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate in effect on such Eleventh District
Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is
specified on the face hereof as the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate
shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Federal

Telerate page 120 or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the Calculation Date, the rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination
Date for United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15 Daily Update,

transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent, prior to
9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination
Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the brokers so selected by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate

the Index Maturity, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, that
appear (or, if only a single rate is required as aforesaid, appears) on the
Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date. If fewer than two such offered rates so appear, or if no
such rate so appears, as applicable, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination

time, on the related Calculation Date, the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic
mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on
the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate
or base lending rate as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Prime Rate

source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S.
Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High" or, if not so published by
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond
Equivalent Yield of the auction rate of such Treasury Bills as announced by
the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that the auction
rate of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity is not so announced by the
United States Department of the Treasury, or if no such Auction is held, then
the Treasury Rate will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on such
Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index

Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, of three primary United States
government securities dealers (which may include the Agents or their
affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury
Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not
quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate determined as of
such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Treasury Rate in
effect on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date.
"Bond Equivalent Yield" means a yield (expressed as a percentage)
calculated in accordance with the following formula:
D x N
Bond Equivalent Yield= ---------------- x 100
360 - (D x M)
where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills
quoted on a bank discount basis, "N" refers to 365 or 366, as the case may
be, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the applicable Interest
Reset Period.
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, in each case as specified on the face hereof. The
interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate
permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of
general application.
The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon on or
before each Calculation Date. The "Calculation Date", if applicable, pertaining
to any Interest Determination Date shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth
calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day
immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date,
as the case may be. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent
will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and,
if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a
determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date.
Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying
the principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest
factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day
in the applicable Interest Period. Unless
18
otherwise specified as the Day Count Convention on the face hereof, the interest
factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate
applicable to such day by 360 if the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime
Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis or by the actual number of days in the
year if the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis.
Unless otherwise specified as the Day Count Convention on the face hereof, the
interest factor for this Note, if the interest rate is calculated with reference
to two or more Interest Rate Bases, shall be calculated in each period in the
same manner as if only the Applicable Interest Rate Basis specified on the face
hereof applied.
All percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note shall be
rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five
one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards, and all amounts used in or
resulting from such calculation on this Note shall be rounded, in the case of
United States dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a Specified
Currency other than United States dollars, to the nearest unit (with one-half
cent or unit being rounded upwards).
Subordinated Indebtedness evidenced by this Note is subordinate and
junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness (defined below) of the Company and each holder of this Note by
accepting the same agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions hereof, and
authorizes the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the same and appoints the Trustee as his
attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
For all purposes herein, the term "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean all
of the indebtedness of, or guaranteed by, the Company for borrowed money
(including the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any such borrowed
money and any commitment fees for unborrowed amounts which, if borrowed, would
constitute Senior Indebtedness), whether currently outstanding or hereafter
incurred, unless, under the instrument evidencing the same or under which the
same is outstanding, it is expressly provided that such indebtedness is
subordinate to other indebtedness and obligations of the Company.
In the event that the Company shall default in the payment of any
Senior Indebtedness, when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity
or on a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise, then, unless
and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to
exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, or securities or by
set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on account of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest or any Additional Amounts on this
Note, or in respect of any sinking fund for, or redemption, retirement or
purchase or other acquisition of this Note.
Upon the happening of an event of default with respect to any Senior
Indebtedness permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof
(other than under the circumstances when the terms of the immediately preceding
paragraph are applicable), then, unless and until such event of default shall
have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect
payment (in cash, property, or securities or by set-off or otherwise) shall be
made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest or any Additional Amounts on this Note or in respect of any sinking
fund for, or redemption, retirement or purchase or other acquisition of this
Note during any period (i) of 90 days after
19
written notice of such default shall have been given to the Company by any
holder of Senior Indebtedness or (ii) in which any judicial proceeding shall be
pending in respect of such default and a notice of acceleration of the maturity
of such Senior Indebtedness shall have been transmitted to the Company in
respect of such default.
In the event of (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar
proceeding relating to the Company, its creditors or its property; (ii) any
proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the Company,
voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings; (iii) any assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors;
or (iv) any other marshalling of the assets of the Company, all Senior
Indebtedness (including any interest accruing after commencement of any such
proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution,
whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of
this Note on account of this Note. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash,
securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other
corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment
of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided herein with respect to
this Note, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time Outstanding and
to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of
reorganization or readjustment), which would otherwise but for the foregoing be
payable or deliverable in respect of this Note shall be paid or delivered
directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the priorities
then existing among such holders until all Senior Indebtedness (including any
interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall
have been paid in full.
In the event that this Note shall be declared due and payable as a
result of the occurrence of any one or more defaults in respect thereof (under
circumstances when the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph are not
applicable), no payment shall be made in respect of this Note unless and until
all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full or such declaration and its
consequences shall have been rescinded and all such defaults shall have been
remedied or waived.
If any payment or distribution to be paid to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness shall be received by any holder of this Note in contravention of
the foregoing and before all the Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in
full, such payment or distribution of any character or any security whether in
cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any
other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the
payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in the
provisions of the Subordinated Indenture with respect to the Subordinated
Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding
and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan or
reorganization or readjustment), shall be received in trust for the benefit of,
and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of Senior
Indebtedness at the time Outstanding in accordance with the priorities then
existing among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior
Indebtedness in full. In the event of the failure of the holder of this Note to
endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of
Senior Indebtedness is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the
same. Nothing contained herein shall impair, as between the Company and the
holder of this Note, the obligation of the Company to pay to the
20
holder thereof the principal thereof and interest thereon as and when the same
shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Note, or
prevent the Holder of this Note from exercising all rights, powers and remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law or pursuant to the terms of this Note or
the Subordinated Indenture upon a default or Event of Default under the
Subordinated Indenture, all subject to the rights of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness to receive cash, securities or other property otherwise payable or
deliverable to the Holder of this Note. Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed
to have been paid in full unless the holders thereof shall have received cash
equal to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness then Outstanding. Upon the
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the holder of this Note shall be
subrogated to all rights of any holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive any
further payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until
all amounts owing on this Note shall have been paid in full, and such payments
or distributions received by the holder of this Note by reason of such
subrogation, of cash, securities or other property which otherwise would be paid
or distributed to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, shall, as between the
Company and its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the
one hand, and the Holder of this Note, on the other hand, be deemed to be a
payment by the Company on account of Senior Indebtedness and not on account of
this Note.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of
all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with all the
effect provided in the Subordinated Indenture.
If an Event of Default, as defined in the Subordinated Indenture, shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and
payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Subordinated
Indenture.
The Subordinated Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of the
entire indebtedness of the Notes upon compliance with certain conditions set
forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.
The Subordinated 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 Debt Securities
at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of
not less than 66% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of
