The Notes do not bear interest. No payments on the Notes will be made until the Maturity Date.

The “Maturity Date” is November 19, 2007, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next following Business Day.

The “Additional Amount”, for each $1 principal amount of the Notes represented hereby will be (subject to the occurrence of a Disruption Event) the greater of (i) zero and (ii) 130% times the Basket Value.

The “Reference Currencies” are the Chinese Renminbi (CNY), Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), Korean Won (KRW), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Singapore Dollar (SGD), Taiwanese Dollar (TWD) and the U.S. Dollar (USD).

The “Basket Value” equals the sum of:

SGD	The Singapore Dollar/U.S. Dollar spot rate at 11:00 a.m., Singapore time, expressed as the amount of Singapore Dollar per one U.S. Dollar, for settlement in two business days, reported by the Association of Banks in Singapore which appears on the Reuters Page ABSIRFIX01 to the right of the caption “Spot” under the column “SGD” at approximately 11:30 a.m., Singapore time, on the Valuation Date.
TWD	The Taiwanese Dollar/U.S. Dollar spot rate, expressed as the amount of Taiwanese Dollars per one U.S. Dollar, for settlement in two business days, reported by the Taipei Forex Inc. which appears on the Reuters Screen TAIFX1 Page under the heading “Spot” as of 11:00 a.m. Taipei time, on the Valuation Date, or if no rate appears as of 11:00 a.m., Taipei time, the rate that first appears in any of the next succeeding 15 minute intervals after such time, up to and including 12:00 noon, Taipei time on the Valuation Date.

The screen or time of observation indicated in relation to any Settlement Rate Option above shall be deemed to refer to such screen or time of observation as modified or amended from time to time, or to any substitute screen thereto.

The “Valuation Date” is November 13, 2007 or, if such day is not a Valuation Business Day, the immediately preceding Valuation Business day.

A “Valuation Business Day” means, with respect to each Reference Currency, 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 (including for dealings in foreign exchange in accordance with the practice of the foreign exchange market) in the city or jurisdiction indicated in the Settlement Rate Option for that Reference Currency.

A “Business Day”, notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture, is any day that is not is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City generally are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.

3

Upon the occurrence of a Disruption Event with respect to any Reference Currency on any day during the term of the notes, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Additional Amount payable on the Maturity Date in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

A “Disruption Event” means any of the following events (other than a Price Source Unavailability Event), as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent:

(A)the occurrence and/or existence of an event on any day that has the effect of preventing or making impossible the delivery of USD from accounts inside the country for which a Reference Currency is the lawful currency (such jurisdiction with respect to such Reference Currency, the “Reference Currency Jurisdiction”) to accounts outside that Reference Currency Jurisdiction;

(B)the occurrence of any event causing the Reference Exchange Rate for any Reference Currency to be split into dual or multiple currency exchange rates; or

(C)the occurrence and/or existence of any event (other than those set forth in (A) or (B) above or those constituting a Price Source Unavailability Event) with respect to any Reference Currency that prevents or makes impossible (x) the Calculation Agent’s ability to calculate the Additional Amount, (y) the fulfilment of the Company’s obligations under the notes, or (z) the ability of the Company or any of its affiliates through which the Company hedges its position under the notes to hedge such position or to unwind all or a material portion of such hedge.

Upon the occurrence of a Price Source Unavailability Event with respect to a Reference Currency, the Settlement Rate for the affected Reference Currency will be determined in accordance with the Fallback Rate Observation Methodology.

A “Price Source Unavailability Event” means, as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent, the Settlement Rate being unavailable for a Reference Currency, or the occurrence of an event (other than an event constituting a Disruption Event) that generally makes it impossible to obtain the Settlement Rate for a Reference Currency, on the relevant Valuation Date.

The “Fallback Rate Observation Methodology” means that the Settlement Rate for a Reference Currency will be calculated on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the applicable spot quotations received by the Calculation Agent at approximately 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Valuation Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date for the purchase or sale for deposits in the Reference Currency by the New York offices of three leading banks engaged in the interbank market (selected in the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent) (the “Reference Banks”). If fewer than three Reference Banks provide spot quotations then the Settlement Rate for such Reference Currency will be determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

Except as provided below, the Redemption Amount may, at the option of the Company, be made by check mailed to the person entitled thereto at such person’s address as it appears on the registry books of the Company.

Payment of the Redemption Amount will be made in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the corporate trust office or agency of the Trustee (or any duly appointed Paying Agent) maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, New York

4

City (the “Corporate Trust Office”), provided that this Note is presented to the Trustee (or any such Paying Agent) in time for the Trustee (or any such Paying Agent) to make such payments in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures.

The Company will pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in making payments in immediately available funds, but any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payments hereunder, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, will be borne by the Holder hereof.

References herein to “USD”, “U.S. dollars” or “U.S.$” or “$” are to the coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH ON THE reverse HEREOF. SUCH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

This Note shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee under the Indenture.

The Notes are one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the Company (collectively, the “Securities”) issued or issuable under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 1, 1987, as amended and supplemented (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Securities.

Section 2. Principal Amount for Indenture Purposes. For the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite amount of Notes of this series outstanding under the Indenture have made a demand, given a notice or waiver or taken any other action, the principal amount of this Note will be deemed to be the principal amount of this Note then outstanding.

Section 3. Modification and Waivers. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of each series of the Securities at the time Outstanding to be affected, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities of all such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) change the fixed maturity of any Security, or reduce the Redemption Amount or the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon or reduce any premium or other amount payable on redemption, or make the Redemption Amount or the principal amount thereof, premium or other amount payable, if any, or interest thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove provided, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) change the place of payment on any Security, or impair the right to institute suit for payment on any Security, or reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security so affected. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of any series of Securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series Outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past

7

Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Note and any Notes of this series which may be issued in exchange or substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or such other Notes of this series.

The amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration permitted under the Indenture will be equal to the Redemption Amount calculated as though the date to which the maturity has been accelerated were the Maturity Date as determined by the Calculation Agent.
