I, a statutory business trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware, or
registered assigns, the principal sum of Thirty Million Nine Hundred and
Twenty-Seven Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty Dollars on June 30, 2028. The
Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from April 1,
1998 or from the most recent interest payment date (each such date, an "Interest
Payment Date") on which interest has been paid or duly provided for, (subject to
deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30, and
December 31 of each year, commencing June 30, 1998, at the rate of % per
annum, until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, plus
Additional Interest, if any, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided
for or made available for payment and (without duplication and to the extent
that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any
overdue installment of interest at the rate of % per annum, compounded
quarterly. The amount of interest payable for any period shall be computed on
the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. The amount of interest
payable for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of the number of
days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any
date on which interest is payable on this Security is not a Business Day, then a
payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding
day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in
respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day is
1

in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect
as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. A "Business Day"
shall mean any day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, (ii) a day on which
banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law
or executive order to remain closed or (iii) a day on which the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee or the principal office of the Property Trustee under the
Trust Agreement hereinafter referred to for USBANCORP Capital Trust I is closed
for business. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture,
be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor

such interest installment, which shall be the any Business Day prior to the
relevant Interest Payment Date. Any such interest installment not so punctually
paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to
be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities
of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be
paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which
the Securities of this series may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as
may be required by such exchange or self-regulatory organization, all as more
fully provided in said Indenture.
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Company shall have the right at any time during the term of this Security to
defer payment of interest on this Security, at any time or from time to time,
for up to twenty (20)
2
3
consecutive quarterly interest payment periods with respect to each deferral
period (each an "Extension Period"), during which Extension Periods the Company
shall have the right to make partial payments of interest on any Interest
Payment Date, and at the end of which the Company shall pay all interest then
accrued and unpaid (together with Additional Interest thereon to the extent
permitted by applicable law); provided, however, that no Extension Period shall
extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security; provided,
further, that during any such Extension Period, the Company shall not, and shall
not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions on or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with
respect to, any of the Company's capital stock or (ii) make any payment of
principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem
any debt security of the Company that ranks pari passu with or junior in
interest to this Security or (iii) make any guarantee payments with respect to
any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any Subsidiary of the
Company if such guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to this
Security (other than (a) dividends or distributions in the Company's capital
stock, (b) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation
of a Rights Plan or the redemption or repurchase of any rights distributed
pursuant to a Rights Plan, (c) payments under the Guarantee with respect to this
Security, and (d) purchases of Common Stock related to the issuance of Common
Stock or rights under any of the Company's benefit plans for its directors,
officers or employees, related to the issuance of Common Stock or rights under a
dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan, or related to the issuance of
Common Stock (or securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock) as
consideration in an acquisition transaction that was entered into prior to the
commencement of such Extension Period). Prior to the termination of any such
Extension Period, the Company may further defer the payment of interest,
provided that no Extension Period shall exceed twenty (20) consecutive quarterly
periods or extend
3

beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. Upon the
termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and
unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due, the Company may elect to
begin a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. No interest
shall be due and payable during an Extension Period except at the end thereof.
The Company shall give the Holder of this Security and the Trustee notice of its
election to begin any Extension Period at least one Business Day prior to the
next succeeding Interest Payment Date on which interest on this Security would

Securities would be payable but for such deferral or (ii) the date the
Administrative Trustees are required to give notice to any securities exchange
or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of such Preferred
Securities of the record date or the date such Distributions are payable, but in
any event not less than one Business Day prior to such record date.

this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in the United States, in such coin or currency of the United States
of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of
interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Securities Register or (ii) by wire
transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such account as may
be designated in writing at least 15 days before the relevant Interest Payment
Date by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Securities Register.
