Reverse of Security
This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities
of the Company designated as 10 Uncommon Values(R) Index RANGERS PlusSM, Risk
AdjustiNG Equity Range Securities PlusSM Notes Due July 2, 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 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 Calculation Date.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 662/3% 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, if any, or reduce any premium
payable on redemption, or make the principal thereof, or premium, if any, or
interest thereon, if
5
any, 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.
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.

limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in

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,

such day, on the primary securities exchange or trading system
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on
7
which such Index Security is listed or admitted to trading or NASDAQ
Stock Market, Inc., as the case may be.
(ii) If the Index Security is listed on a non-United States securities
exchange, trading system (other than a bulletin board) or market, the

non-U.S. exchange, trading system or market.

regular business hours of the relevant exchange, trading system or market;

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
