As provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different covenants and events of default, and may otherwise vary as provided or permitted in the Indenture. This Note is one of a series of the Securities, designated as the Medium-Term Notes, Series C (the "Notes") of the Company. The Notes may mature at different times, bear interest at different rates, be redeemable at different times or not at all, be repayable at the option of the holder at different times or not at all, be denominated in different currencies and otherwise vary as provided or permitted by the Indenture. Terms used herein which are defined in the Indenture shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture. The interest rate in effect from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof shall be the Initial Interest Rate specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the first Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof following the Original Issue Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be adjusted daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually or otherwise as specified on the face hereof under "Interest Rate Reset Period." Each such adjusted rate shall be applicable from and including the Interest Reset Date to which it relates to but not including the next succeeding Interest Reset Date or until the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Determination of Interest Rate Per Annum for Prime Rate Notes. If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is Prime Rate, the interest rate per annum determined with respect to any Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof shall equal the rate, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof, and rounded, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, set forth for the relevant Interest Determination Date in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Release H.15(519)") under the heading "Bank Prime Loan." In the event that such rate is not published prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the relevant Interest Calculation Date, then the interest rate per annum with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the display designated as page "NYMF" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the NYMF page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks) ("Reuters Screen NYMF Page") as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Interest Determination Date, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, set forth on the face hereof, and rounded, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point. If fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen NYMF Page on the Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates (quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year) as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date of three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent provided, however, that if fewer than three banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the interest rate per annum with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be the interest rate per annum in effect on the day prior to such Interest Determination Date (or, if the Initial Interest Rate is then in effect, the interest rate per annum will be the Initial Interest Rate and will not be adjusted by any Spread or Spread Multiplier). Determination of Interest Rate Per Annum for LIBOR Notes. If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, the interest rate per annum determined with respect to any Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall equal either (a) the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars having the specified Index Maturity, commencing on the second Market Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, that appears on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page (as defined herein) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof, if at least two such offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page ("LIBOR 5 Reuters"), or (b) the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having the specified Index Maturity, commencing on the second Market Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, that appears on the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof ("LIBOR Telerate"). "Reuters Screen LIBO Page" means the display designated as page "LIBO" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace page LIBO on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks). "Telerate Page 3750" means the display designated as "3750" on the Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace the 3750 page on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits). If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified on the face hereof, LIBOR will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate had been specified. If fewer than two offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page, or if no rate appears on the Telerate Page 3750, as applicable, LIBOR in respect of such Interest Reset Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in the following paragraph. On any Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates for the applicable Index Maturity appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page as specified in (a) above or on which no rate for the applicable Index Maturity appears on the Telerate Page 3750, as specified in (b) above, as applicable, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent (the "Reference Banks") at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market, having the specified Index Maturity, commencing on the second Market Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount that, in the Calculation Agent's judgment, is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of such Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or the multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of such Interest Reset Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Reset Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, having the specified Index Maturity, such loans commencing on the Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount that, in the Calculation Agent's judgment, is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, or the multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the banks in The City of New York selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the interest rate per annum with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be the interest rate per annum in effect on the day prior to such Interest Determination Date (or if the Initial Interest Rate is then in effect, the interest rate per annum will be the Initial Interest Rate and will not be adjusted by any Spread or Spread Multiplier). Determination of Interest Rate Per Annum for Treasury Rate Notes. If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is Treasury Rate, the interest rate per annum determined with respect to any Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof shall equal the rate for the auction on the relevant Interest Determination Date of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in Release H.15(519) under the heading "U.S. Government Securities-Treasury Bills-Auction Average (Investment)" or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Interest Calculation Date (as specified on the face hereof) pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield (as defined below) of the auction average rate for such auction as otherwise announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, in either case, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. In the event that the results of such auction of Treasury bills having the specified Index Maturity are not otherwise reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Calculation Date, or if no such auction is held in a particular week, then the interest rate per annum with respect to such Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the rate set forth in H.15 (519) for the relevant Interest Determination Date for the specified Index Maturity under the heading "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market." In the event such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the relevant Interest Calculation Date, then the Treasury Rate with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities dealers in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if any of the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as described in this sentence, the interest rate per annum hereon with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be the interest rate per annum in effect on the day prior to such Interest Determination Date (or, if the Initial Interest Rate is then in effect, the interest rate per annum will be the Initial Interest Rate and will not be adjusted by any Spread or Spread Multiplier). "Bond Equivalent Yield" shall be a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula: Bond Equivalent Yield = 100 X D X N ------------- 360 - (D X M) where "D" refers to the per annum rate for Treasury bills, quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal; "N" refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be; and "M" refers to, if the Index Maturity approximately corresponds to the length of the period for 6 which such rate is being determined, the actual number of days in such period and, otherwise, the actual number of days in the period from, and including, the Interest Reset Date to, but excluding, the day that numerically corresponds to that Interest Reset Date (or, if there is not any such numerically corresponding day, the last day) in the calendar month that is the number of months corresponding to the specified Index Maturity after the month in which that Interest Reset Date occurs. Determination of Interest Rate Per Annum for Commercial Paper Rate Notes. If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is Commercial Paper Rate, the interest rate per annum determined with respect to any Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof shall equal (a) the Money Market Yield (as defined herein) of the per annum rate for the relevant Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, (i) as such rate is published in Release H.15(519), under the heading "Commercial Paper," or (ii) if such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the relevant Interest Calculation Date, the Money Market Yield on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the specified Index Maturity as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in its daily statistical release, "Composite 3:30 P.M. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities," or any successor publication by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("Composite Quotations"), under the heading "Commercial Paper" (with an Index Maturity of one month or three months being deemed to be equivalent to an Index Maturity of 30 days or 90 days, respectively) or (b) if by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Calculation Date, such rate is not published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean (rounded, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred- thousandth of a percentage point) of the offered per annum rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for U.S. dollar commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency, in each of the above cases (a) and (b) adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if fewer than three dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in (b) above, the interest rate per annum hereon with respect to such Interest Reset Date shall be the interest rate per annum in effect on the day prior to such Interest Determination Date (or, if the Initial Interest Rate is then in effect, the interest rate per annum will be the Initial Interest Rate and will not be adjusted by any Spread or Spread Multiplier). "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula: 360 x D Money Market Yield = 100 x ____________________ 360-(D x M) where "D" refers to the per annum rate for commercial paper, quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point," and "M" refers to, if the Index Maturity approximately corresponds to the length of the period for which such rate is being determined, the actual number of days in such period and, otherwise, the actual number of days in the period from, and including, the Interest Reset Date to, but excluding, the day that numerically corresponds to such Interest Reset Date (or, if there is not any such numerically corresponding day, the last day) in the calendar month that is the number of months corresponding to the specified Index Maturity after the month in which such interest Reset Date occurs.

If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is Federal Funds Rate, the interest rate per annum determined with respect to any Interest Reset Date shall be the rate on the relevant Interest Determination Date for Federal Funds as published in Release H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)," adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof and rounded, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred- thousandth of a percentage point. In the event that such rate is not published prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the relevant Interest Calculation Date, then the per annum interest rate shall be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate," adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof and rounded, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point. If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Calculation Date such rate is not published in either Release H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, then the per annum interest rate for such Interest Reset Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates, as of 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, for the last transaction in overnight Federal Funds arranged by three leading brokers of U.S. dollar Federal Funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof and rounded, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point; provided, however, that if any of the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the interest rate per annum with respect to such Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate per annum in effect on the day prior to such Interest Determination Date (or, if the Initial Interest Rate is then in effect, the interest rate per annum will be the Initial Interest Rate and will not be adjusted by any Spread or Spread Multiplier). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate per annum hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Interest Calculation Date. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if different, the interest rate which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date as a result of a determination made on the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to this Note. The Calculation Agent's determination of the interest rate hereon will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error. Interest payments hereon will include interest accrued to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be adjusted daily or weekly as specified on the face hereof under "Interest Rate Reset Period" and as determined in accordance with the provisions hereof, interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, other than interest payable on any date on which principal hereof is payable, will include interest accrued through but excluding the day following the next preceding Regular Record Date. Accrued interest hereon from the Original Issue Date or from the last date to which interest hereon has been paid, as the case may be, shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the Original Issue Date or from the last date to which interest shall have been paid, as the case may be, to but excluding the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor (expressed as a decimal and rounded, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point) for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate per annum (expressed as a decimal and calculated to the next highest one hundred- thousandth of a percentage point) applicable to such date by 360 if the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is Prime Rate, LIBOR, Commercial Paper Rate, CD Rate or Federal Funds Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is Treasury Rate. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, any U.S. dollar amount to be received by a holder of this Note who elects to receive payment in U.S. dollars will be based on the highest bid quotation (rounded up to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded up) in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent (specified on the face hereof) as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day next preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent) for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all holders of Notes electing to receive U.S. dollar payments on such payment date and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If three such bid quotations are not available on the second Business Day preceding the date of a payment, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs associated with any payments in U.S. dollars will be borne by the holder hereof by deductions from such payments. If the principal, premium (if any) or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and, due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Specified Currency is not available at the time of any scheduled payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest to be made in the Specified Currency, then the Company shall be entitled to satisfy its obligations hereunder by making such payment in U.S. dollars. Any such payment shall be made on the basis of the most recently available noon buying rate for cable transfers in The City of New York for such Specified Currency. Any payment under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where required payment is in a Specified Currency will not constitute a default under the Indenture. 8 In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, immediately due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series issued under the Indenture which are affected thereby, at the time outstanding, as provided in the Indenture, 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 indenture supplemental thereto or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities of 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 reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation, or change the currency in which any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Maturity Date without the consent of the holder of each such Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any series, the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture or the consent of whose holders is required for any wavier provided for in the Indenture, without the consent of the holders of all Securities affected then outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series then outstanding to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture with respect to such series and certain past defaults under the Indenture with respect to such series and their consequences, except in each case a failure to pay principal or premium, if any, or interest on such Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Note or other such Notes. If so provided on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed at the option of the Company on any Business Day on or after the "Date on or After Which This Note is Redeemable at the Option of the Company" as specified on the face hereof. On and after such date, if any, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part in part in increments of $1,000 or, in the case of non-U.S. dollar denominated Notes, of an amount equal to the integral multiples referred to on the face hereof under "Authorized Denominations" (or, if no such reference is made, an amount equal to the minimum Authorized Denomination) provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note partially redeemed shall be at least $100,000 or, in the case of non-U.S. dollar denominated Notes, the minimum Authorized Denomination referred to on the face hereof. The redemption price shall be equal to the product of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed multiplied by the Redemption Percentage, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The Redemption Percentage shall initially equal the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face of this Note, and shall decline at each anniversary of the "Date on or After Which This Note is Redeemable at the Option of the Company" by the amount of the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face of this Note, until the Redemption Percentage is equal to 100%. If so provided on the face of this Note, this Note will be repayable at the option of the holder in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, in the case of non-U.S. dollar denominated Notes, of an amount equal to the integral multiples referred to on the face hereof under "Authorized Denominations" (or, if no such reference is made, an amount equal to the minimum Authorized Denomination) provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note surrendered for partial repayment shall be at least $100,000 or, in the case of non-U.S. dollar denominated Notes, the minimum Authorized Denomination referred to on the face hereof, on any Business Day on or after the "Date on or After Which This Note is Repayable at the Option of the Holder" (as stated on the face hereof). The repurchase price shall equal the product of the principal amount of this Note to be repurchased multiplied by the Repayment Percentage, plus accrued interest, if any, to the repayment date. The Repayment Percentage shall initially equal the Initial Repayment Percentage specified on the face of this Note, and shall decline at each anniversary of the "Date on or After Which This Note is Repayable at the Option of the Holder" by the amount of the Annual Repayment Percentage Reduction specified on the face of this Note, until the Repayment Percentage is equal to 100%.

The addresses to which such deliveries are to be made is BankAmerica National Trust Company, Attention: Domestic Corporate Trust Administration, One World Trade Center, New York, New York 10048 (or, at such other places as the Company shall notify the holders of the Notes). All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Note for repayment will be determined by the Company, whose determination will be final and binding. The Notes are issuable in global or definitive form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof or, if the Specified Currency is other than U.S. dollars, in the Authorized Denominations 9 indicated on the face hereof. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in the Specified Currency for an equal aggregate principal amount and like interest rate and maturity will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture and to the limitations described below if applicable, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

The Depositary will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any beneficial interest in this Note unless such beneficial interest is in an amount equal to $100,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof or, if this Note is denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, an Authorized Denomination indicated on the face hereof. The Depositary, by accepting this Note, agrees to be bound by such provision.
