         --------------------------------------------


         Name:
         Title: Authorized Signatory

                                       2




                              (Reverse of Security)
         This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the
Company designated as NASDAQ-100 INDEX(R) SUNSSM, 109% Minimum Redemption Stock
Upside Note SecuritiesSM Due April 26, 2004 (herein called the "Securities").
The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Securities, create
and issue additional notes ranking equally with the Securities and otherwise
similar in all respects so that such further notes shall be consolidated and
form a single series with the Securities; provided that no additional notes can
be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Securities.
This series of Securities is one of an indefinite number of series of debt
securities of the Company, issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as
of September 1, 1987, as amended (herein called the "Indenture"), duly executed
and delivered by the Company and Citibank N.A., as trustee (herein called the
"Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities.

         The Alternative Redemption Amount shall be determined by the
Calculation Agent pursuant to the Calculation Agency Agreement.

         All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to the
Securities will be rounded at the Calculation Agent's discretion.

         The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the Calculation
Agent of the Maturity Payment Amount and shall have no duty to make any such
determination.

         This Security is not subject to any sinking fund and is not redeemable
prior to its Stated Maturity.

         If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall occur and
be continuing, the amounts payable on all of the Securities may be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The
amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration permitted under the
Indenture will be equal to the Maturity Payment Amount calculated as though the
date of acceleration was the Stated Maturity and the date five Business Days
prior thereto was the Payment Determination Date.

         The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66-?% in aggregate
principal amount of each series of Securities at the time Outstanding to be
affected (each series voting as a class), 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 principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest thereon or reduce any premium payable on
redemption, or make the principal

                                       3


thereof, or premium, if any, or interest therein 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 default or Event of Default under the Indenture with
respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of
interest, if any or the principal of, or premium if any, on any of the
Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or
analogous obligation with respect to Securities of such series. Any such consent
or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon
such Holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Security and any
Securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective
of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other
Securities.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal amount with respect to this
Security.

         The Securities are issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiples of $1,000.

         The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or of the
Trustee may deem and treat the registered holder (the "Holder") hereof as the
absolute owner of this Security (whether or not this Security shall be overdue
and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the
purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, and for all other
purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or
of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such
payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the
extent of the sum or sums paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for
moneys payable on this Security.

         No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect
hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of
the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any
Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby,
shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as
such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation,
either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance
hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived
and released.

                                       4


         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the
Corporate Trust Office or agency in a Place of Payment for this Security, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Securities of this series or of like tenor and of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

         where (i) the starting index level for the first Reset Period equals

         any Successor Index, as the case may be, has occurred on that day, in
         each case, for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half
         hour period preceding the Close of Trading on the primary organized
         U.S. exchange or trading system on which such stocks are traded or, in
         the case of a common stock not listed or quoted in the United States,

         Limitations on trading during significant market fluctuations imposed

         the one-half hour period preceding the Close of Trading in options
         contracts related to the Index or any Successor Index, as the case may
         be, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding levels permitted
         by an exchange, trading system or market on which such options
         contracts are traded or otherwise.

                  (iii) Information is unavailable on that date, through a
         recognized system of public dissemination of transaction information,
         for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period
         preceding the Close of Trading, of accurate price, volume or related
         information in respect of 20% or more of the underlying stocks which
         then comprise the Index or any Successor Index, as the case may be, or
         in respect of options contracts related to the Index or

         any Successor Index, as the case may be, in each case traded on any
         major U.S. exchange or trading system or in the case of securities of
         a non-U.S. issuer, traded on the primary non-U.S. exchange, trading
         system or market.

         For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has
         occurred:

                  (i) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading
         shall not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an
         announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant
         exchange, trading system or market;

                  (ii) any suspension in trading in an options contract on the
         Index or any Successor Index, as the case may be, by a major securities
         exchange, trading system or market by reason of (a) a price change
         violating limits set by such securities market, (b) an imbalance of
         orders relating to those contracts, or (c) a disparity in bid and ask
         quotes relating to those contracts, shall constitute a Market
         Disruption Event notwithstanding that the suspension or material
         limitation is less than two hours;

                  (iii) a suspension or material limitation on an exchange,
         trading system or in a market shall include a suspension or material
         limitation of trading by one class of investors provided that the
         suspension continues for more than two hours of trading or during the
         last one-half hour period preceding the Close of Trading on the
         relevant exchange, trading system or market but shall not include any
         time when the relevant exchange, trading system or market is closed for
         trading as part of that exchange's, trading system's or market's
         regularly scheduled business hours; and

                  (iv)     "Trading systems" include bulletin board services.
