          FRANKLIN RESOURCES, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Issuer"
     or the "Company," which terms include any successor corporation
     under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received,
     hereby promises to pay to                                     ,
     or registered assigns, the principal sum of


     DOLLARS at the Stated Maturity specified above (except to the
     extent redeemed or repaid prior to Stated Maturity), and to pay
     interest thereon, at a rate per annum equal to the Initial
     Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset
     Date specified above and thereafter at a rate per annum
     determined in accordance with the provisions hereof and any
     Addendum relating hereto depending upon the Interest Rate Basis
     or Bases, if any, and such other terms specified above, until the
     principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. 
     Reference herein to "this Note", "hereof", "herein" and
     comparable terms shall include an Addendum hereto if an Addendum
     is specified above.

          The Company will pay interest monthly, quarterly,
     semi-annually, annually or such other period as specified above
     under "Interest Payment Period", on each Interest Payment Date
     specified above, commencing on the first Interest Payment Date
     specified above next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified
     above, and at Stated Maturity or on any Redemption Date or
     Optional Repayment Date (as defined below) (the date of each such
     Stated Maturity, Redemption Date and Optional Repayment Date and
     the date on which principal or an installment of principal is due
     and payable by declaration of acceleration pursuant to the
     Indenture, being referred to hereinafter as a "Maturity" with
     respect to principal payable on such date); provided, however,
                                                 --------  -------
     that if the Original Issue Date falls between a Regular Record
     Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment
     Date, interest payments will commence on the Interest Payment
     Date immediately following the next succeeding Regular Record
     Date to the registered Holder on such next succeeding Regular
     Record Date; and provided further, that if an Interest Payment
                      -------- -------
     Date (other than an Interest Payment Date at Maturity) would
     otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined
     below), such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next
     succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if an 
     Interest Rate Basis is LIBOR, as indicated above, and such next
     Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such
     Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that
     is a Business Day.  Except as provided above, interest payments
     will be made on the Interest Payment Dates shown above.  Unless
     otherwise specified above, the "Regular Record Date" with respect
     to any Interest Payment Date shall be the date 15 calendar days
     (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such
     Interest Payment Date.  If the Maturity of this Note falls on a
     day which is not a Business Day, the payment of principal,
















                                     4







     premium, if any, and interest due at Maturity will be made on the
     next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if
     made on such Maturity and no interest shall accrue on the amount
     so payable for the period from and after such Maturity.  The
     interest 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 Note (or one or more
     Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
     the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date.  Any such
     interest which is payable, but not punctually paid or duly
     provided for on any Interest Payment Date (herein called
     "Defaulted Interest"), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
     registered Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may either be
     paid to the Person in whose name this Note (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 the
     Holder of this Note not less than 10 days prior to such Special
     Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful
     manner, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.  Interest
     payable at Maturity will be payable to the Person to whom the
     principal hereof shall be payable.  

          Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, if this Note
     is a Global Security as specified on the face hereof and is held
     in book-entry form through the facilities of the Depositary,
     payments on this Note will be made to the Depositary or its
     nominee in accordance with the arrangements then in effect
     between the Trustee and the Depositary.

          Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
     on this Note at Maturity will be made in immediately available
     funds upon presentation of this Note at the Office or Agency of
     the Company maintained by the Company for such purpose, 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.  Payment of interest on this Note (other than at Maturity)
     will be made at the Office or Agency of the Company maintained by
     the Company for such purpose or, at the option of the Company,
     may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
     thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register at
     the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately
     preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date.  Notwithstanding
     the foregoing, a Holder of $10,000,000 or more in aggregate
     principal amount of the Notes (whether having identical or
     different terms and provisions) will be entitled to receive
     interest payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds
     if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in
     writing by the Trustee at least 16 days prior to the applicable
     Interest Payment Date.  Such wire instructions, upon receipt by
     the Trustee, shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder.

          Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
     executed by or on behalf of Chemical Bank, the Trustee with
     respect to the Notes under the Indenture, or its successor
     thereunder, by the manual signature of one of its authorized
     officers, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under
     the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

          This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities
     (hereinafter called the "Securities") of the Company, which
     series of the Securities is limited to an aggregate principal
     amount of not more than $300,000,000, (or the equivalent thereof,
     determined as of the respective dates of issuance, in any other
     currency or currencies), designated as its Medium-Term Notes (the
     "Notes").  The Notes are issued and to be issued under an
     Indenture dated as of May, __, 1994 (herein called the
     "Indenture") between the Company and Chemical Bank, to which
     Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is
     hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations
     of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
     Trustee (as defined below) and the Holders of the Notes and the
     terms upon which the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered. 
     Chemical Bank shall act as Trustee with respect to the Notes
     (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor
     Trustee with respect to the Notes under the Indenture).  The
     terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates
     or interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity, redemption,
     repayment, currency of payment and otherwise.

          The Notes are issuable only in registered form without
     coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of
     $1,000 in excess thereof.  As provided in the Indenture and
     subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are
     exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes
     denominated as authorized, as requested by the Holder
     surrendering the same.

          Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture and as set
     forth below, the Notes will be issued in global form only,
     registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and
     ownership of the Notes shall be maintained in book-entry form by
     the Depositary for the accounts of participating organizations of
     the Depositary.  If this Note is a Global Security, this Note is
     exchangeable only if (a) the Depositary notifies the Company that
     it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this
     Global Security and a successor depositary is not appointed by
     the Company within 60 days or if at any time the Depositary
     ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (b) the Company in its sole
     discretion determines that this Global Security shall be
     exchangeable for definitive Securities of this series in
     registered from or (c) an Event of Default with respect to the
     Notes represented hereby has occurred and is continuing.


















                                     6







          This Note is not subject to any sinking fund and, unless
     otherwise provided above in accordance with the provisions of the
     following paragraphs, is not redeemable or repayable prior to
     Stated Maturity.

          If so provided above, this Note may be redeemed by the
     Company on any date on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if
     any, specified above.  If no Initial Redemption Date is set forth
     above, this Note may not be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity. 
     On and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Note may
     be redeemed at any time in whole or from time to time in part in
     increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal
     hereof shall be at least $1,000 at the option of the Company at
     the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below) together with
     accrued interest, if any, hereon at the applicable rate payable
     to the date of redemption (each such date, a "Redemption Date"),
     on written notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 days
     prior to the Redemption Date.  In the event of redemption of 
     this Note in part only, a new Note for the unredeemed portion
     hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
     surrender hereof.

          Unless otherwise specified above, the "Redemption Price"
     shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage, specified
     above, of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed and,
     if greater than 100%, shall decline at each anniversary of the
     Initial Redemption Date, shown above, by the Annual Redemption
     Percentage Reduction, if any, specified above, of the principal
     amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such
     principal amount.

          This Note may be subject to repayment at the option of the
     Holder on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, indicated
     above.  If no Optional Repayment Date(s) are set forth above,
     this Note is not subject to repayment at the option of the Holder
     hereof prior to the Stated Maturity Date.  On any Optional
     Repayment Date, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part
     in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal
     hereof shall be at least $1,000) at the option of the Holder
     hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount
     to be repaid, together with accrued interest, if any, hereon at
     the applicable rate payable to the relevant Optional Repayment
     Date.  For this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the
     option of the Holder hereof, this Note must be received, with the
     form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed,
     by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or such address
     which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of
     the Notes, not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the
     relevant Optional Repayment Date.  Exercise of such repayment
     option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable.  In the event
     of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the



















                                     7







     unrepaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder
     hereof upon the surrender hereof.

          The interest rate borne by this Note shall be determined as
     follows:

               1.   If this Note is designated as a Regular Floating
          Rate Note above or if no designation is made for Interest
          Calculation above, then, except as described below or in an
          Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest at the rate
          determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate
          Basis or Bases shown above (i) plus or minus the applicable
          Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable
          Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the
          manner described above.  Commencing on the Initial Interest
          Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is
          payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date
          specified above; provided, however, that (i) the interest 
                           --------  -------
          rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date
          to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial
          Interest Rate, and (ii) unless otherwise specified above,
          the interest rate in effect hereon for the 10 calendar days
          immediately prior to Maturity shall be that in effect on the
          tenth calendar day preceding such Maturity.

               2.   If this Note is designated as a Floating
          Rate/Fixed Rate Note above, then, except as described below
          or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest at
          the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest
          Rate Basis or Bases shown above (i) plus or minus the
          applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the
          applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied
          in the manner described above.  Commencing on the Initial
          Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note
          is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date
          specified above; provided, however, that (i) the interest 
                           --------  -------
          rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date
          to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial
          Interest Rate; (ii) unless otherwise specified above, the
          interest rate in effect hereon for the 10 calendar days
          immediately prior to the Fixed Rate Commencement Date shall
          be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding the
          Fixed Rate Commencement Date; and (iii) the interest rate in
          effect commencing on, and including, the Fixed Rate
          Commencement Date to the Maturity shall be the Fixed
          Interest Rate, if such a rate is specified above, or if no
          such Fixed Interest Rate is so specified, the interest rate
          in effect hereon on the Business Day immediately preceding
          the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.

               3.   If this Note is designated as an Inverse Floating
          Rate Note above, then, except as described below or in an
















                                     8







          Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest equal to the
          Fixed Interest Rate indicated above minus the rate
          determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate
          Basis or Bases shown above (i) plus or minus the applicable
          Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable
          Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the
          manner described above; provided, however, that, unless 
                                  --------  -------
          otherwise specified above, the interest rate hereon will not
          be less than zero percent.  Commencing on the Initial
          Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note
          is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Rate Reset
          Date specified above; provided, however, that (i) the 
                                --------  -------
          interest rate in effect for the period from the Original
          Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the
          Initial Interest Rate, and (ii) unless otherwise specified
          above, the interest rate in effect hereon for the 10
          calendar days immediately prior to Maturity shall be that in
          effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such Maturity.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is designated
     above as having an Addendum attached, this Note shall bear
     interest in accordance with the terms described in such Addendum.

          Except as provided above, the interest rate in effect on
     each day shall be (a) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the
     interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date
     (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date
     or (b) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest
     rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately
     preceding the next preceding Interest Reset Date.  Each Interest
     Rate Basis shall be the rate determined in accordance with the
     applicable provision below.  If any Interest Reset Date (which
     term includes the term Initial Interest Reset Date unless the
     context otherwise requires) would otherwise be a day that is not
     a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to
     the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if an
     Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR and such next
     Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such
     Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business
     Day.

          Unless otherwise specified above, interest payable on this
     Note on any Interest Payment Date shall be the amount of interest
     accrued from and including the next preceding Interest Payment
     Date in respect of which interest has been paid (or from and
     including the Original Issue Date specified above, if no interest
     has been paid), to but excluding the related Interest Payment
     Date or Maturity, as the case may be; provided, however, that if
                                           --------  -------
     the Interest Rate Reset Period with respect to this Note is daily
     or weekly, unless otherwise specified above, interest payable on
     any Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued from and
     including the Original Issue Date, if no interest has been paid,















                                     9







     or from but excluding the last Regular Record Date to which
     interest has been paid, as the case may be, to and including the
     Regular Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date;
     and provided further that the interest payments on Maturity will
         -------- -------
     include interest accrued to but excluding such Maturity.

          Unless otherwise specified above, accrued interest hereon
     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 in the period for which accrued interest is being
     calculated.  Unless otherwise specified above, the interest
     factor for each such day shall be computed and paid on the basis
     of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months if the Day Count
     Convention specified above is "30/360" for the period specified
     thereunder, or by dividing the interest rate applicable to such
     day by 360 if the Day Count Convention specified above is
     "Actual/360" for the period specified thereunder or by the actual
     number of days in the year if the Day Count Convention specified
     above is "Actual/Actual" for the period specified thereunder.  If
     interest on this Note is to be calculated with reference to two
     or more Interest Rate Bases as specified above, the interest
     factor will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if
     only one of the applicable Interest Rate Bases applied.

          Unless otherwise specified above, the "Interest
     Determination Date" with respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate,
     the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime
     Rate will be the second Business Day preceding each Interest
     Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the
     Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate will be the last working day
     of the month immediately preceding each Interest Reset Date on
     which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of
     San Francisco") publishes the Index (as defined below); the
     "Interest Determination Date" with respect to LIBOR shall be the
     second London Business Day (as defined below) preceding each
     Interest Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with
     respect to the Treasury Rate will be the day in the week in which
     the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury bills
     (as defined below) are normally auctioned (Treasury bills are
     normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day
     is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on
     the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on
     the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is
                            --------  -------
     held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest
     Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such
     preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall
                           --------  -------
     fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date
     shall instead be the first Business Day following such auction. 
     If the interest rate of this Note is determined with reference to
     two or more Interest Rate Bases as specified above, the Interest
     Determination Date pertaining to this Note will be the latest 















                                     10







     Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to such
     Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is
     determinable.  Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined on
     such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on
     the related Interest Reset Date.

          Unless otherwise specified above, the "Calculation Date"
     pertaining to any Interest Determination Date will be the earlier
     of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination
     Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
     Business Day and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the
     applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be. 
     All calculations on this Note shall be made by the Calculation
     Agent specified above or such successor thereto as is duly
     appointed by the Company.

          All percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note
     will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one
     hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-
     millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545%
     (or 0.09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655) and
     9.876544% (or 0.09876544) would be rounded to 9.87654% (or
     0.0987654)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from
     such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with
     one-half cent being rounded upward).

          As used herein, "Business Day" means, unless otherwise
     specified above, any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that
     is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking
     institutions are authorized or required by law or executive order
     to close and, if an Interest Rate Basis shown above is LIBOR, is
     also a London Business Day.

          As used herein, unless otherwise specified above, "London
     Business Day" means any day (a) if the Index Currency is other
     than the European Currency Unit ("ECU"), on which dealings in
     deposits in such Index Currency are transacted in the London
     interbank market or (b) if the Index Currency is the ECU, that is
     not designated as an ECU Non-Settlement Day by the ECU Banking
     Association in Paris or otherwise generally regarded in the ECU
     interbank market as a day on which payments on ECUs shall not be
     made.

          Determination of CD Rate.  If an Interest Rate Basis for
          ------------------------
     this Note is the CD Rate, as indicated above, the CD Rate shall
     be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a
     "CD Rate Interest Determination Date"), as the rate on such date
     for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity
     specified above as published by the Board of Governors of the
     Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519),
     Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication
     ("H.15(519)"), under the heading "Cds (Secondary Market)", or, if

















                                     11







     such rate is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
     on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such CD Rate
     Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of
     deposit of the Index Maturity specified above 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 ("Composite Quotations") under the
     heading "Certificates of Deposit".  If such rate is not yet
     published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations by 3:00
     P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then
     the CD Rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date shall be
     calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the arithmetic
     mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New
     York City time, on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date, of
     three leading non-bank dealers in negotiable United States dollar
     certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by the
     Calculation Agent for negotiable certificates of deposit of major
     United States money market banks in the market for negotiable
     certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the
     Index Maturity designated above in an amount that is
     representative for a single transaction in that market at that
     time; provided, however, that if any of the dealers selected as
           --------  -------
     aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting mentioned in
     this sentence, the CD Rate determined as of such CD Rate Interest
     Determination Date shall be the CD Rate in effect on such CD Rate
     Interest Determination Date.

          Determination of CMT Rate.  If an Interest Rate Basis for
          -------------------------
     this Note is the CMT Rate, as indicated above, the CMT Rate shall
     be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a
     "CMT Rate Interest Determination Date"), as the rate displayed on
     the Designated CMT Telerate Page under the caption "...Treasury
     Constant Maturities...Federal Reserve Board Release
     H.15...Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.," under the column for the
     Designated CMT Maturity Index for (i) if the Designated CMT
     Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest
     Determination Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page
     is 7052, the week, or the month, as applicable, ended immediately
     preceding the week in which the related CMT Rate Interest
     Determination Date occurs.  If such rate is no longer displayed
     on the relevant page, or if not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York
     City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for
     such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be such treasury
     constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as
     published in the relevant H.15(519).  If such rate is no longer
     published, or if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
     on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT
     Rate Interest Determination Date shall be such treasury constant
     maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other
     United Sates Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index)
     for the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with respect to such
     interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board
















                                     12







     of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States
     Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines
     to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated
     CMT Telerate Page and published in the relevant H.15(519).  If
     such information is not provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City
     time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the
     CMT Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the
     Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity, based on the
     arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices
     as of approximately 3:30 P.M. (New York City time) on the CMT
     Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their
     written records, by three leading primary United States
     government securities dealers (each, a "Reference Dealer") in The
     City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (from five
     such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and
     eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality,
     one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of
     equality, one of the lowest)), for the most recently issued
     direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States
     ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of approximately the
     Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of
     not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. 
     If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three such Treasury Note
     quotations, the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest Determination
     Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a
     yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary
     market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M. (New York
     City time) on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three
     Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such
     Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and
     eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality,
     one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of
     equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury Notes with an
     original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest
     to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to
     maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an
     amount of at least $100 million.  If three or four (and not five)
     of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then
     the CMT Rate shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer
     prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such
     quotes shall be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than
     three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are
     quoting as described herein, the CMT Rate shall be the CMT Rate
     in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date.  If two
     Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the
     third preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally
     close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the
     CMT Rate Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall
     be used.

          "Designated CMT Telerate Page" shall mean the display on the
     Dow Jones Telerate Service on the page designated in the


















                                     13







     applicable Pricing Supplement (or any other page as may replace
     such page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury
     Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519)), for the purpose of
     displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). 
     If no such page is specified in the applicable Pricing
     Supplement, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for
     the most recent week.

          "Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to
     maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7,
     10, 20, or 30 years) specified in the applicable Pricing
     Supplement with respect to which the CMT Rate shall be
     calculated.  If no such maturity is specified in the applicable
     Pricing Supplement, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be 2
     years.

          Determination of Commercial Paper Rate.  If an Interest Rate
          --------------------------------------
     Basis for this Note is the Commercial Paper Rate, as indicated
     above, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be determined as of the
     applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Commercial Paper Rate
     Interest Determination Date"), as the Money Market Yield (as
     defined below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper
     having the Index Maturity specified above as published in
     H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper".  In the event
     that such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
     on the related Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate
     shall be the Money Market Yield on such Commercial Paper Rate
     Interest Determination Date of the rate for commercial paper
     having the Index Maturity shown above as published in 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).  If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
     related Calculation Date such rate is not yet published in either
     H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, then the Commercial Paper Rate
     on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date shall
     be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Money
     Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at
     approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial
     Paper Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers
     of commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the
     Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity
     specified above placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating
     is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized
     securities rating agency; provided, however, that if any of the
                               --------  -------
     dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not
     quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate
     determined as of such Commercial Paper Rate Interest
     Determination Date shall be the rate in effect on such Commercial
     Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.


















                                     14







          "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield (expressed as a
     percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

                    Money Market Yield =   D x 360    x 100
                                         ------------
                                          360-(D x M)

     where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial
     paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal
     and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the interest
     period for which interest is being calculated.

          Determination of Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate.  If
          -----------------------------------------------------
     an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is the Eleventh District
     Cost of Funds Rate, as indicated above, the Eleventh District
     Cost of Funds Rate shall be determined as of the applicable
     Interest Determination Date (an "Eleventh District Cost of Funds
     Rate Interest Determination Date"), as the rate equal to the
     monthly weighted average cost of funds for the calendar month
     immediately preceding the month in which such Eleventh District
     Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date falls, as set
     forth under the caption "11th District" on Telerate Page 7058 as
     of 11:00 A.M., San Francisco time, on such Eleventh District Cost
     of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.  If such rate does not
     appear on Telerate Page 7058 on any related Eleventh District
     Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, the Eleventh
     District Cost of Funds Rate for such Eleventh District Cost of
     Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the monthly
     weighted average cost of funds paid by member institutions of the
     Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank District that was most recently
     announced (the "Index") by the FHLB of San Francisco as such cost
     of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the date of
     such announcement.  If the FHLB of San Francisco fails to
     announce such rate for the calendar month immediately preceding
     such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination
     Date, then the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate determined as
     of such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest
     Determination Date shall be the Eleventh District Cost of Funds
     Rate in effect on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate
     Interest Determination Date.

          Determination of Federal Funds Rate.  If an Interest Rate
          -----------------------------------
     Basis for this Note is the Federal Funds Rate, as indicated
     above, the Federal Funds Rate shall be determined as of the
     applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Federal Funds Rate
     Interest Determination Date"), as the rate on such date for
     federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading
     "Federal Funds (Effective)" or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M.,
     New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on
     such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, as published
     in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal
     Funds/Effective Rate."  If by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
     the related Calculation Date such rate is not published in either















                                     15







     H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, then the Federal Funds Rate on
     such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be
     calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the arithmetic
     mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United
     States dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of
     federal funds transactions in The City of New York selected by
     the Calculation Agent prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time on
     such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date; provided,
                                                          --------
      however, that if any of the brokers selected as aforesaid by the
      -------
     Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence,
     the Federal Funds Rate determined as of such Federal Funds Rate
     Interest Determination Date shall be the Federal Funds Rate in
     effect on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.

          Determination of LIBOR.  If an Interest Rate Basis for this
          ----------------------
     Note is LIBOR, as indicated above, LIBOR will be determined as of

          for determining LIBOR, with respect to an Interest
          Determination Date relating to this Note (a "LIBOR Interest
          Determination Date"), LIBOR will be determined on the basis
          of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the
          specified Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides for
          only a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be
          used) for deposits in the Index Currency having the Index
          Maturity designated above, commencing on the second London
          Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest
          Determination Date, that appear on the Designated LIBOR Page

          required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or if LIBOR
          Telerate is specified above as the method for determining
          LIBOR, or if no other method is specified above as the
          method for determining LIBOR, with respect to a LIBOR
          Interest Determination Date for this Note, LIBOR will be the
          rate for deposits in the Index Currency having the Index
          Maturity designated above, commencing on the second London
          Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest
          Determination Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR

          LIBOR in respect of the related LIBOR Interest Determination
          Date will be determined in accordance with the provisions
          described in clause (ii) below.

              (ii)  With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination
          Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear, or no
          rate appears, as the case may be, on the applicable















                                     16

          market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such
          LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount
          that is representative for a single transaction in such
          Index Currency in such market at such time. If at least two
          such quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR
          Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of
          such quotations.  If fewer than two quotations are provided,
          LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
          will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at
          approximately 11:00 A.M., in the applicable Principal
          Financial Center, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
          by three major banks in such Principal Financial Center,
          selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in the Index
          Currency to leading European banks, having the Index
          maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is

          Currency in such market at such time; provided, however,
          that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are
          not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined
          as of such LIBOR Interest Determination Date shall be LIBOR
          in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

          "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite
     currencies) specified above as the currency for which LIBOR shall
     be calculated.  If no such currency is specified above, the Index
     Currency shall be United States dollars.

          "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters"
     is specified above, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money
     Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank
     offered rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency,
     or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified above, the display on the
     Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the
     London interbank offered rates of major banks for the applicable
     Index Currency.

          Determination of Prime Rate.  If an Interest Rate Basis for
          ---------------------------
     this Note is the Prime Rate, as indicated above, the Prime Rate
     shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination
     Date (a "Prime Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on
     such date as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the
     heading "Bank Prime Loan".  If such rate is not published prior
     to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation
     Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the
     rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on
     the Reuters Screen NYMF Page (as defined below) as such bank's
     prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Prime Rate
     Interest Determination Date.  If fewer than four such rates but
     more than one such rate appear on the Reuters Screen NYMF Page
     for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate
     shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime 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 Prime Rate Interest
     Determination Date by three, or two if only two such rates are
     quoted, major money center banks in The City of New York selected
     by the Calculation Agent.  If fewer than two such rates appear on
     the Reuters Screen NYMF Page, the Prime Rate will be determined
     by the Calculation Agent on the basis of the rates furnished in
     The City of New York by three, or two if only two such rates are
     quoted, substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing
     business under the laws of the United States, or any state
     thereof, having total equity capital of at least U.S.$500 million
     and being subject to supervision or examination by a Federal or
     state authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to provide
     such rate or rates; provided, however, that if fewer than two
     such substitute banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid
     are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate
     determined as of such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date
     shall be the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Rate Interest
     Determination Date.  

          "Reuters Screen NYMF Page" means 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).

          Determination of Treasury Rate.  If an Interest Rate Basis
          ------------------------------
     for this Note is the Treasury Rate, as specified above, the
     Treasury Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest
     Determination Date (a "Treasury Rate Interest Determination
     Date") as the rate applicable to the most recent auction of
     direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having
     the Index Maturity specified above, as such rate is published in
     H.15(519) under the heading "Treasury Bills -- auction average
     (investment)" or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City
     time, on the related Calculation Date, the auction average rate
     (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or
















                                     18







     366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) as
     otherwise announced by the United States Department of the
     Treasury.  In the event that the results of the auction of
     Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified above are not
     reported as provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such
     Calculation Date, or if no such auction is held in a particular
     week, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the
     Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as
     a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
     applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean
     of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M.,
     New York City time, on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination
     Date, of three leading primary United States government
     securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, for the
     issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the
     Index Maturity specified above; provided, however, that if any of
                                     --------  -------
     the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are
     not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate
     determined as of such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date
     shall be the Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Rate
     Interest Determination Date.

          Any provision contained herein, including the determination
     of an Interest Rate Basis, the specification of an Interest Rate
     Basis, calculation of the interest rate applicable to this Note,
     its Interest Payment Dates or any other matter relating hereto
     may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if so
     specified above.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon
     shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or 
     less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified above.  In
     addition to any Maximum Interest Rate applicable hereto pursuant
     to the above provisions, the interest rate on this Note will in
     no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York
     law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general
     application.  The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest
     rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each
     Calculation Date.  Unless otherwise specified above, The Chase
     Manhattan Bank (National Association) will be the Calculation
     Agent.

          At the request of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent
     shall provide to the Holder hereof the interest rate hereon then
     in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which shall
     become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.

          The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time
     of the entire indebtedness of this Note upon compliance with
     certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.



















                                     19







          If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur
     and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared
     due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
     Indenture.

          The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
     provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the
     rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the
     Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected thereby
     at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of
     the Holders of 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the
     Outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby.  The
     Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
     specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the
     Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of
     the Holders of all the Securities of such series, to waive
     compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
     Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
     consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
     Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon
     all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
     registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
     hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
     upon this Note.

          As provided in and subject to the provisions of the
     Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to
     institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
     appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy
     thereunder, unless: (i) such Holder shall have previously given
     the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with
     respect to the Notes; (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in
     principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall have
     made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in
     respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the
     Trustee reasonable indemnity; (iii) the Trustee shall not have
     received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
     Notes at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such
     request; and (iv) the Trustee shall have failed to institute any
     such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice,
     request and offer of indemnity.  The foregoing shall not apply to
     any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the
     enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or
     interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed
     herein.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of
     this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
     obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
     to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Note
     at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
     prescribed.


















                                     20

     limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be

     in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized
     denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will
     be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

          No service charge shall be made for any registration of
     transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a
     sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
     payable in connection therewith.

          Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of
     transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
     or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is
     registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
     this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor
     any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          No recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest
     on this Note, 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 Note, or because of the
     creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had
     against any incorporator, shareholder, 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 Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by and
     construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

          All terms used in this Note which are defined in the
