If the Interest Rate Basis of this Security is the Commercial Paper Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal (a) the Money Market Yield (calculated as described below) of the per annum rate (quoted on a bank discount basis) on the relevant Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, (i) as such rate is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)") under the heading "Commercial Paper" or (ii) if such rate is not published before 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the relevant Calculation Date, then as such rate is 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 published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("Composite Quotations") under the heading "Commercial Paper" or (b) if by 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on such Calculation Date, such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered per annum rates (quoted on a bank discount basis) as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, of three leading dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York (which may include one or more of the Agents) selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof placed for an industrial issuer whose bond -3- rating is "AA", or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency, in any of the above cases (a) or (b) as adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, and then (y) by the multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that, if fewer than three dealers selected as provided above by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the interest rate hereon for such Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate hereon in effect on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date. "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula: Money Market Yield = 100 x 360 x D ------------, 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 and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the period from 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 Index Maturity specified on the face hereof after the month in which such Interest Reset Date falls. Prime Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis of this Security is the Prime Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal (a)(i) the rate for the relevant Prime Rate Interest Determination Date set forth in H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime Loan", or (ii) if such rate is not published before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the relevant Calculation Date, then the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the display designated as page "USPRIME1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the USPRIME1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks) ("Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page") as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page on such -4- Prime Rate Interest Determination Date or (b) if fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, 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 Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent, in any of the above cases (a) or (b) as adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, and then (y) by the multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that, if fewer than three banks selected as provided above by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the interest rate hereon for such Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate hereon in effect on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date. LIBOR. If the Interest Rate Basis of this Security is LIBOR, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions: (a) The Calculation Agent will determine either (i) the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of the applicable Index Maturity which appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Determination Date if at least two such offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page ("LIBOR Reuters"), or (ii) the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of the applicable Index Maturity that appears on the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date ("LIBOR Telerate").

If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, 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, -5- as applicable, LIBOR in respect of that LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (b) below.

CMT Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis of this Security is the CMT Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal 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 is 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 will 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 is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States 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 of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the -8- 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 on the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will 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 such 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 (which may include the Agent or its affiliates) 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 is unable to obtain three such Treasury Note quotations, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will 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 such 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 will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned herein, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination -9- Date will 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 second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the Calculation Agent will obtain from five Reference Dealers quotations for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service on the page specified in the 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 will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be 2 years. Federal Funds Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis of this Security is the Federal Funds Rate, the interest rate hereon for any Interest Reset Date shall equal (a) the rate on the relevant Federal Funds Interest Determination Date for Federal Funds (i) as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)" or (ii) if such rate is not published before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the relevant Calculation Date, then the rate on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate" or (b) if by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, the arithmetic mean of the rates, as of 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, for the last transaction in overnight Federal Funds arranged by three leading brokers of Federal Funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent, in any of the above cases (a) or (b) as adjusted (x) by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, and then (y) by the multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that, if fewer than three brokers selected as -10- provided above by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the interest rate hereon for such Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate hereon in effect on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. In addition, the interest rate hereon 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 Company will at all times appoint and maintain a banking institution that is not an Affiliate of the Company as Calculation Agent hereunder. The Company has initially appointed The Chase Manhattan Bank as such Calculation Agent and will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in such appointment. The Company will cause the Calculation Agent to calculate the interest rate on this Security for any Interest Reset Date in accordance with the foregoing on or before the Calculation Date pertaining to the related Interest Determination Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, all percentages resulting from any calculations 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., 9.876546% (or .09876546) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the "Calculation Date," if applicable, 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 or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. The Calculation Agent's determination of any interest rate will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of the Holder of this Security, the Calculation Agent will provide to such Holder the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate hereon which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest hereon shall be -11- determined in accordance with the provisions under the headings above entitled "Commercial Paper Rate" (the "Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date"), "Prime Rate" (the "Prime Rate Interest Determination Date"), "LIBOR" (the "LIBOR Interest Determination Date"), "CD Rate" (the "CD Rate Interest Determination Date"), "CMT Rate" (the "CMT Rate Interest Determination Date") and "Federal Funds Rate" (the "Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date") will be the second Market Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest hereon shall be determined in accordance with the provisions under the heading above entitled "Treasury Rate" (the "Treasury Interest Determination Date") will be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury Bills would normally be auctioned. Treasury Bills are usually sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is usually held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Treasury Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week. If an auction date shall fall on any Interest Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Security, then such Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Market Day immediately following such auction date. Payments of interest hereon with respect to any Interest Payment Date will equal the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly made available for payment (or from and including the date of issue, if no interest has been paid or duly made available for payment) to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon from (and including) the Original Issue Date or from (and including) the last date to which interest has been paid is calculated by multiplying the principal amount of this Security by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from (and including) the Original Issue Date, or from (and including) the last date to which interest has been paid, to but excluding the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor (expressed as a decimal) for each such day is computed by dividing the interest rate (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such day by 360 or, -12- if the Interest Rate Basis for this Security is the Treasury Rate or CMT Rate, by the actual number of days in the year. This Security may be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder prior to the Stated Maturity specified above on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face of this Security. If no Optional Repayment Dates are specified on the face of this Security, this Security may not be so repaid at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the Stated Maturity. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Security shall be repayable in whole or in part in an amount equal to $1,000 of such other minimum denomination specified on the face hereof (provided that any remaining principal amount shall be at least $1,000 or such other minimum denomination) at the option of the Holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid (or, if this Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, such lesser amount as is provided in such Security), together with interest thereon payable to the date of repayment. For this Security to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, this Security must be received, with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" set forth below duly completed, by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office (or such other address of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders), not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the applicable Optional Redemption Date. Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of payment of this Security in part only, a new Security for the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof. If so designated on the face of this Security, this Security may be redeemed by the Company by Regular Redemption or Make-Whole Premium Redemption on any date on and after the Redemption Commencement Date indicated on the face hereof. If neither Regular Redemption nor Make-Whole Premium Redemption is designated on the face hereof, then this Security may not be redeemed prior to its Stated Maturity. If so designated on the face of this Security that it is subject to Regular Redemption, then on and after the Redemption Commencement Date, this Security may be redeemed at the option of the Company in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount of this Security shall be at least $1,000) at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, on notice given not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date. The Redemption Price shall be initially equal to the Initial Redemption Price set forth on the face hereof on the Redemption Commencement Date (plus accrued interest to the Redemption Commencement Date), and shall decline (but not below par) on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Premium Reduction Amount set forth on the face hereof until the Redemption -13- Price is equal to 100% of such principal amount, plus accrued interest to the date set for the redemption of this Security (the "Redemption Date"); provided, however, that interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder of this Security, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. If less than all of this Security is to be redeemed, the beneficial interests in this Security to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon surrender hereof. If so designated on the face of this Security, this Security may be redeemed at the option of the Company, as a whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice mailed to the Holder at his address as it appears in the Security Register, on any date prior to its Stated Maturity at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holder of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date), plus a Make-Whole Premium, if any. The amount of the "Make-Whole Premium" in respect of the principal amount of this Security will be the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of the present values, as of the Redemption Date of this Security, of (A) the respective interest payments (exclusive of the amount of accrued interest to the Redemption Date) on this Security that, but for such redemption, would have been payable on their respective Interest Payment Dates after such Redemption Date, and (B) the payment of such principal amount that, but for such redemption, would have been payable on the Stated Maturity of this Security over (ii) the amount of such principal to be redeemed. Such present values will be determined in accordance with generally accepted principles of financial analysis by discounting the amounts of such payments of interest and principal from their respective -14- Stated Maturities to such Redemption Date at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Yield. The "Treasury Yield" in respect of this Security shall be determined as of the date on which notice of redemption of this Security is sent to the Holder hereof by reference to the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or successor publication) which has become publicly available not more than two Business Days prior to such date (or, if such Statistical Release (or successor publication) is no longer published or no longer contains the applicable data, to the most recently published issue of The Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) published not more than two Business Days prior to such date that contains such data or, if The Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) is no longer published or no longer contains such data, to any publicly available source of similar market data), and shall be the most recent weekly average yield on actively traded U.S. Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Life of this Security and, if applicable, converted to a bond equivalent yield basis as described below. The "Remaining Life of this Security" shall equal the number of years from the Redemption Date to the Stated Maturity of this Security; provided that if the Remaining Life of this Security is not equal to the constant maturity of a U.S. Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is specified in the applicable source, then the Remaining Life of this Security shall be rounded to the nearest one-twelfth of one year and the Treasury Yield shall be obtained by linear interpolation computed to the fifth decimal place (one thousandth of a percentage point) and then rounded to the fourth decimal place (one hundredth of a percentage point)), after rounding to the nearest one-twelfth of one year, from the weekly average yields of (a) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with a maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Life of this Security and (b) the actively traded U.S. Treasury Security with a maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Life of this Security, except that if the Remaining Life of this Security is less than three months, the weekly average yield on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of three months shall be used. The Treasury Yield shall, if expressed on a yield basis other than that equivalent to a bond equivalent yield basis, be converted to a bond equivalent yield basis and shall be computed to the fifth decimal place (one thousandth of a percentage point) and then rounded to the fourth decimal place (one hundredth of a percentage point). -15- If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series (or, in the case of any Securities of this series that are Original Issue Discount Securities, an amount of principal thereof determined in accordance with the provisions of this Security set out in the next paragraph (the "Default Amount")) may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If this Security is an Original Issue Discount Security and if an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Default Amount of principal of this Security may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Such Default Amount shall be equal to the adjusted issue price as at the first day of the accrual period as determined under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations thereunder, in which the date of acceleration occurs increased by the daily portion of the original issue discount for each day in such accrual period ending on the date of acceleration, as determined under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the Treasury regulations thereunder. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company's obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on this Security shall terminate. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of this Security or (ii) certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein. 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 under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain -16- past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. The principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security or a Security denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars that shall be deemed to be Outstanding for purposes of the foregoing shall be determined as provided in the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security or Securities 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 Security. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations (including, in the case of any Security, certain additional limitations) therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of (i) if denominated in U.S. dollars, $1,000 and integral multiples thereof or (ii) if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, the amount of such Specified Currency equivalent, at the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such Specified Currency (the "Exchange Rate") on the sixth Business Day in The City of New York and in the country issuing such currency (or, for ECUs, Brussels) next preceding the Original Issue Date, to U.S. $1,000 (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Specified Currency) and any greater amount that is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement. The Securities of this series may be issued, in whole or in part, in the form of one or more Securities -17- bearing the legend specified in the Indenture regarding certain restrictions on registration of transfer and exchange and issued to The Depository Trust Company as depositary for the Securities of this series (the "Depositary") or its nominee and registered in the name of the Depositary or such nominee. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations (including, in the case of any Security, certain additional limitations) therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge shall be made for any such 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 Security 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 Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
