         Name:
         Title: Authorized Signatory



                              (Reverse of Security)

         This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the
Company designated as Nasdaq-100 Index(R) RANGERS PlusSM, Risk AdjustiNG Equity
Range Securities PlusSM Notes Due January 24, 2003 (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 Maturity Payment 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 three 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 66-2/3% 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 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

                                                                               2
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.

         The Company intends to treat, and by purchasing this Security, the
holder agrees to treat, for all tax purposes, this Security as a financial
contract for cash settlement, rather than as a debt instrument.

                                                                               3
         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.

         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

         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

                                                                               5
         trading as part of that exchange's, trading system's or market's
