NATIONAL CONSUMER COOPERATIVE BANK, a financial institution duly organized
and existing under the laws of the United States (the "Issuer", which term
includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., 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 or Repayment Date 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 or in an Addendum hereto
with respect to one or more Interest Rate Bases specified above until the
principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment, and (to the extent
that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the Default
Rate per annum specified above on any overdue principal, premium and/or
interest. The Issuer 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.
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) 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, and upon such notice as
3
may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided for in the
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
▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other
paying agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Issuer
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 repayment
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 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.
The Issuer 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
4
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 Issuer 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 such amounts 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 Issuer 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.
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 Issuer,
5
the Issuer 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 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 Issuer, then the Issuer 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.
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.
6
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth
on the reverse hereof and, if so specified on the face hereof, in an 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 Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]
NATIONAL CONSUMER COOPERATIVE BANK
MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(Floating Rate)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities (the
"Securities") of the Issuer issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as
of January 15, 1997, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the
"Indenture"), between the Issuer and The First National Bank of Chicago, as
Trustee (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 Issuer, the Trustee and the holders of
the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of Securities
designated as "Medium-Term Notes Due from 9 Months to 30 Years from Date of
Issue" (the "Notes"). 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.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum
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
specified 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 Issuer on any
date on or 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 the
minimum Authorized Denomination (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.
9
This Note will be subject to repayment by the Issuer 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 the minimum
Authorized Denomination (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 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 on this Note accrued 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."
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
constant 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:
10
(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" or as otherwise specified as Other/Additional Provisions on the
face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall be designated as a
"Regular Floating Rate Note" and, except as set forth below or specified on
the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, 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 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 specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, 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. 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 specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, 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 or
in an Addendum hereto, 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.
11
Except as set forth above or specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum
hereto, 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 defined below) 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 and the
Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then
such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to 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 banking institutions
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 banking
institutions 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, in the case of European Currency Units
("ECU"), is not a day that appears as an ECU non-settlement day on the display
designated as "ISDE" on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or a day so
designated by the ECU Banking Association) or, if ECU non-settlement days do not
appear on that page (and are not so designated), is not a day on which payments
in ECU cannot be settled in the international interbank market); PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, such day is also a
London Business Day (as defined below). "London Business Day" means (i) if the
Index Currency (as defined below) is other than ECU, any day on which dealings
in such Index Currency are transacted in the London interbank market or (ii) if
the Index Currency is ECU, any day that does not appear as an ECU non-settlement
day on the display designated as "ISDE" on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates
Service (or a day so designated by the ECU Banking Association) or, if ECU
non-settlement days do not appear on that page (and are not so designated), is
not a day on which payments in ECU cannot be settled in the international
interbank market. "Principal Financial Center" means the capital city of the
country issuing the Specified Currency, or solely with respect to the
calculation of LIBOR, the Index Currency, except that with respect to United
States dollars, Australian dollars, Deutsche marks, Dutch guilders, Italian
lire, Swiss francs and ECU, the "Principal Financial Center" shall be The City
of New York, Sydney, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Milan, Zurich and Luxembourg,
respectively.
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 Determination Date and will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent on or prior to
12
the Calculation Date (as defined below), except with respect to the LIBOR, which
will be calculated as of such Interest Determination Date. The "Interest
Determination Date" with respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial
Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate will be the second
Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; 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 Index 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 that day is a legal
holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday,
except that 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 by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519),
Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)") under the heading "CDs (Secondary
Market)". If such rate is not published in H.15(519) by 9:00 A.M., New York
City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such CD Rate
Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent
specified on the face hereof and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary
market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such CD Rate
Interest Determination Date, of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable
United States dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by
the Calculation Agent for negotiable certificates of deposit of major United
States money market banks for negotiable United States dollar certificates of
deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity in a
denomination of U.S.$5,000,000; PROVIDED,
13
HOWEVER, that if fewer than three dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent
are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate determined as of such CD
Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CD Rate in effect on such CD Rate
Interest Determination Date.
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
7055, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the
Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the week or month, as applicable, ended
immediately preceding the week in which the related CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant
page or is not 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 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 Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the
CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with respect to such Interest Reset Date as
may then be published by either the Board 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 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 closing offer side prices as of
approximately 3:30 P.M., New York
14
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 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 offer side prices 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 offer
prices 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 from the five Reference Dealers quotations for
the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity.
"Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow ▇▇▇▇▇ Telerate
Service (or any successor service) on the page specified on the face hereof (or
any other page as may replace such page on such service for the purpose of
displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519)) for the
purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If
no such page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page
shall be 7052, for the most recent week.
"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 years)
specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be
calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated
CMT Maturity Index shall be 2 years.
COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is
specified on the face hereof as the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper
Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a
"Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date") as the Money Market Yield
(as defined below) on such date of the per annum rate (quoted on a bank discount
basis) for commercial paper having the Index Maturity as published in H.15(519)
under the heading "Commercial Paper". If such rate is not published in
H.15(519) 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 per annum offered rates (quoted on a bank discount
basis) as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Rate
Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of commercial paper in The
City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having
the Index Maturity placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is
15
"AA", or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if fewer than three dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are
quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate 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.
"Money Market Yield" means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated
in accordance with the following formula:
Money Market Yield = D X 360 x 100
--------------
360 - (D x M)
where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on
a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and "M" refers to the period
from the Interest Reset Date to but excluding the day that numerically
corresponds to such Interest Reset Date (or, if there is not any numerically
corresponding day, the last day) in the calendar month that is the number of
months corresponding to the specified Index Maturity after the month in which
such Interest Reset Date falls.
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 Funds
Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date for United States
dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds
(Effective)". If such rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Federal Funds Rate on such
Federal Funds Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation
Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates, as of 9:00 A.M., New York
City time, on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, for the last
transaction in overnight federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of
federal funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation
Agent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if fewer than three brokers so selected by the
Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds
Rate determined as of such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will
be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date.
LIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face
hereof as LIBOR, LIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "LIBOR Interest Determination Date")
in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) the Calculation Agent will determine either (a) the arithmetic mean of
the offered rates for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the
applicable Index Maturity which appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page at
approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
if at least two such offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page"
16
("LIBOR Reuters"), or (b) the rate for deposits in the Index Currency for the
period of the applicable Index Maturity that appears on the Telerate Page 3750
as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date ("LIBOR
Telerate"). "Reuters Screen LIBO Page" means the display designated as Page
"LIBO" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rate Service (or such other page as may
replace the LIBO page on the service for the purpose of displaying London
interbank offered rates of major banks). "Telerate Page 3750" means the display
designated as page "3750" on the Telerate Service (or such other page as may
replace the 3750 page on that service or such other service or services as may
be nominated by the British Bankers' Association for the purpose of displaying
London Interbank offered rates for deposits in the Index Currency). If neither
LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified on the face hereof, LIBOR will be
determined as if LIBOR Telerate is specified. If fewer than two offered rates
appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page, or if no rate appears on the Telerate
Page 3750, as applicable, LIBOR in respect of that LIBOR Interest Determination
Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rates described in
(ii) below.
(ii) If fewer than two offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO
page or no rate appears on Telerate Page 3750, as applicable, the Calculation
Agent will request the principal London offices of four major banks in the
London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the
Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in the Index Currency
for the period of the applicable Index Maturity to prime banks in the London
interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, commencing on the
second London Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative of a single
transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time. If at least two
such quotations are provided, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations
are provided, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. in the
applicable Principal Financial Center by three major banks in such Principal
Financial Center for loans in the Index Currency to leading European Banks,
having the Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a
single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided,
however, that if fewer than three banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation
Agent are quoting rates as mentioned in this sentence, the rate of interest in
effect for the applicable period will be the LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR
Interest Determination Date.
"Index Currency" means the currency or composite currency specified on the
face hereof as to which LIBOR shall be calculated. If no such currency or
composite currency is specified on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be
United States dollars.
PRIME RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereto as the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Prime Rate Interest Determination
Date") as the rate on
17
such date as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime
Loan". If such rate is not published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on
the related Calculation Date, then 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 in effect for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date.
If fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen US Prime 1 Page for
such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate shall be the
arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of
days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such
Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New
York selected by the Calculation Agent. If fewer than three such quotations are
so provided, the Prime Rate shall be the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Rate
Interest Determination Date.
"Reuters Screen US Prime 1 Page" means the display designated as page "US
Prime 1" on the Reuter Money Market Rates Service (or any successor service) (or
such other page as may replace the US Prime 1 Page on such service (or any
successor service) for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending
rates of major United States banks).
TREASURY RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereof as the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate shall be determined as of
the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Treasury Rate Interest
Determination Date") as the rate from the auction held on such Treasury Rate
Interest Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct obligations of the United
States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity, as such rate is published
in H.15(519) under the heading "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury
Bills/Auction Average (Investment)" or, if not published by 9:00 A.M., New York
City time, on the related Calculation Date, the auction average rate of such
Treasury Bills (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or
366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) as otherwise announced by
the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that the results of
the Auction of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity are not reported as
provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, or
if no such auction is held, then the Treasury Rate will be the rate set forth in
H.15(519) for the relevant Treasury Interest Determination Date for the
specified Index Maturity under the heading "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury
Bills/Secondary market." If such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M. New York
City time on the relevant Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate will be calculated
by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond
equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied
on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as
of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Treasury Rate Interest
Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities dealers
in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent, for the issue of
Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity;
provided, however, that if fewer than three dealers so
18
selected by the Calculation Agent are 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.
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 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 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 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).
If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Notes may be accelerated in the manner and with
the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire
indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain covenants and
19
Events of Default with respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with
certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the holders of the Securities at any time by the Issuer
and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of
the aggregate principal amount of all Securities at the time outstanding and
affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders
of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of any series, on behalf of the holders of all such Securities, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture.
Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the holders of not less than a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any
series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the holders of
Securities of such series, 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 other Notes 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 shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in
respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and
herein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security
Register of the Issuer upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer
at the office or agency of the Issuer in any place where the principal hereof
and any premium or interest hereon are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the holder hereof or by his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and
herein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Notes of different authorized denominations but otherwise having the
same terms and conditions, as requested by the holder hereof surrendering the
same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum
20
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the
Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the
holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner thereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the
