representative for a single transaction in that market at that time.
"Initial dealer" with respect to this Note means either Morgan Stanley
& Co. Incorporated or Morgan Stanley DW Inc., as applicable.
(iii) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting

the face hereof is the "Commercial Paper Rate," for any Interest Determination
Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money

The following procedures shall be followed if the Commercial Paper Rate
cannot be determined as described above:
10

Nonfinancial."
(ii) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the

York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of
commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer
and its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with
the Issuer), for U.S. dollar commercial paper of 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 statistical rating agency.
(iii) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as set forth above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination
Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of
interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.
The "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield calculated in accordance with
the following formula:

Money Market Yield = -------------- x 100
360 - (D x M)
where "D" refers to the applicable per year 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 EURIBOR Notes. If the Base Rate specified on the face

Page, by its terms provides only for a single rate, that single rate shall be
used; or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the
face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency having the Index
Maturity designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking
Day immediately following that Interest Determination Date or, if pounds
sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on that Interest Determination Date,
that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 a.m., London
time, on that Interest Determination Date.
(ii) If (a) fewer than two offered rates appear and LIBOR Reuters is
specified on the face hereof, or (b) no rate appears and the face hereof
specifies either (x) LIBOR Telerate or (y) LIBOR Reuters and the Designated
LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, then the Calculation
Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference
banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent
(after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its
offered quotation for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London Banking
Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date or, if pounds sterling
is the Index Currency, commencing on that Interest Determination Date, to prime
banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time,
on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is
representative of a single transaction in that Index Currency in that market at
that time.
(iii) If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on that
Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If
fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR shall be determined for the
applicable Interest Reset Date as the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, or some other
13
time specified on the face hereof, in the applicable principal financial center
for the country of the Index Currency on that Interest Reset Date, by three
major banks in that principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent
(after consultation with the Issuer) for loans in the Index Currency to leading
European banks, having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a
principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in that Index
Currency in that market at that time.
(iv) If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as set forth above, the LIBOR rate for that Interest Determination Date shall
remain the LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if
there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the
Initial Interest Rate.
The "Index Currency" means the currency specified on the face hereof as
the currency for which LIBOR shall be calculated, or, if the euro is substituted
for that currency, the Index Currency shall be the euro. If that currency is not
specified on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars.
"Designated LIBOR Page" means either: (a) if LIBOR Reuters is
designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the
Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London
interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency or its
designated successor, or (b) if LIBOR Telerate is designated as the Reporting
Service on the face hereof, the display on Moneyline Telerate, or any successor
service, on the page specified on the face hereof, or any other page as may
replace that page on that service, for the purpose of displaying the London
interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency.
If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified on the face
hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency shall be determined as if LIBOR
Telerate were specified, and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, as if
Page 3750 had been specified.
Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face
hereof is "Prime Rate," for any Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate with
respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date as published in H.15(519)
under the heading "Bank Prime Loan."
The following procedures shall be followed if the Prime Rate cannot be
determined as described above:
(i) If the above rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the rate on
that Interest Determination Date as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the
heading "Bank Prime Loan."
(ii) If the above rate is not published in either H.15(519) or the H.15
Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, then the
Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of
the rates of interest publicly announced by
14
each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page, as defined below,
as that bank's Prime Rate or base lending rate as in effect for that Interest
Determination Date.
(iii) If fewer than four rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1
Page by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, for that Interest Determination Date, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of
the Prime Rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year
divided by 360 as of the close of business on that Interest Determination Date
by at least three major banks in The City of New York, which may include
affiliates of the initial dealer, selected by the Calculation Agent (after
consultation with the Issuer).
(iv) If the banks selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
set forth above, the Prime Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall
remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or,
if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the
Initial Interest Rate.
"Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page" means the display designated as page
"USPRIME 1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service, or any successor
service, or any other page as may replace the USPRIME 1 Page on that service for
the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks.
Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face
hereof is "Treasury Rate," the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be
(i) the rate from the Auction held on the applicable Interest
Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct obligations of the United States
("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as
that rate appears under the caption "INVESTMENT RATE" on the display on
Moneyline Telerate, or any successor service, on page 56 or any other page as
may replace page 56 on that service ("Telerate Page 56") or page 57 or any other
page as may replace page 57 on that service ("Telerate Page 57"); or
(ii) if the rate described in (i) above is not published by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the
rate for the applicable Treasury Bills as published in the H.15 Daily Update, or
other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the
applicable rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury
Bills/Auction High"; or
(iii) if the rate described in (ii) above is not published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent
Yield of the Auction rate of the applicable Treasury Bills, announced by the
United States Department of the Treasury; or
(iv) if the rate described in (iii) above is not announced by the
United States Department of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held, the
Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on the applicable Interest Determination Date
of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity
15
specified on the face hereof published in H.15(519) under the caption "U.S.
Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market"; or
(v) if the rate described in (iv) above is not so published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the
applicable Interest Determination Date of the applicable Treasury Bills as
published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used
for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption "U.S.
Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market"; or
(vi) if the rate described in (v) above is not so published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the
applicable Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as
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 the applicable
Interest Determination Date, of three primary U.S. government securities
dealers, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, 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; or
(vii) if the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as described in (vi), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest
Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.
The "Bond Equivalent Yield" means a yield calculated in accordance with
the following formula and expressed as a percentage:
D x N
Bond Equivalent Yield = -------------- x 100
360 - (D x M)
where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a
bank discount basis, "N" refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and "M"
refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is
being calculated.
Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face
hereof is the "CMT Rate," for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with
respect to this Note shall be the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate
Page (as defined below) 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, as defined below, for:
(1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT
Telerate Page is 7051; and
(2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding
the week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the
Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052.
16
The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be
determined as described above:
(i) If the above 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 shall be the Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519).
(ii) If the above 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 shall be the Treasury Constant Maturity Rate for the Designated CMT
Maturity Index or other U.S. Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index
on the Interest Determination 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 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).
(iii) If the information set forth above is not provided by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent
shall determine the CMT Rate to 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 Interest Determination Date, reported,
according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government
securities dealers ("Reference Dealers") in The City of New York, which may
include the initial dealer or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent
as described in the following sentence. The Calculation Agent shall select five
reference dealers (after consultation with the Issuer) and shall eliminate 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, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than
that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is
representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that
time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have
remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index,
the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity
shall be used.
(iv) If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three Treasury Notes
quotations as described in (iii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine
the CMT Rate to 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 Interest Determination Date of three reference dealers in The City
of New York, selected using the same method described in (iii) above, for
Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest to
but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to
maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount
that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market
at that time.
17
(v) If three or four, and not five, of the reference dealers are
quoting as described in (iv) above, then the CMT Rate for that Interest
Determination Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices
obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be
eliminated.
(vi) If fewer than three reference dealers selected by the Calculation
Agent are quoting as described in (iv) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest
Determination Date shall be the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest
Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.
"Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on Moneyline Telerate,
or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any other
page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying
Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If no page is specified
on the face hereof, 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, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30
years, as specified in the applicable pricing supplement for which the CMT Rate
shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the
Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.
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 on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall
calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before
each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application.
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 determined,
the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date.
Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, interest payments on
this Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the
Interest Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has
been paid or duly provided for to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or
the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may
be. 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 interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date
shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by
360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds
Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR (except if the Index Currency is pounds sterling);
(ii) by 365 if the Base Rate is LIBOR and the Index Currency is pounds sterling;
or (iii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the
Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of
the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest
18
one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with .000005% being rounded up to
..00001%) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on
this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded
upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations
will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All
amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such
calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency,
with .005 being rounded up to .01. The interest rate in effect on any Interest
Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate
applicable to any other day (other than a day occurring on or after the Fixed
Rate Commencement Date) is the interest rate from the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). While this Note
bears interest at the Fixed Interest Rate, interest payments on this Note will
be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct,
unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority
among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory
exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.
This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange
hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if
denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise specified above, is issuable only
in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in
excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by
applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S.
$1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified
Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of
1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon
dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such Specified
Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange
Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance.
The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee
will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the
registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the
aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Issuer and the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in
person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the
Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange
herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a
like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will
not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has
been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the
Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such
Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or
exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior
Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes.
19
Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized
denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and
provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge,
but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange
shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Issuer and the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by
the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of
any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no
gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.
In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be
destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or
destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and
such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be
delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of
like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost or
stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer
that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt
also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable
charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation,
authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the
Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.
The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as
defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of
or premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under
the Senior Indenture, including the series of Notes of which this Note forms a
part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant
or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but
not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior
Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
debt securities of each affected series, voting as one class, by notice in
writing to the Issuer and to the Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may
then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and
interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event
of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or
agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities
issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be
continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior
Indenture, voting as one class, by notice in writing to the Issuer and to the
Trustee, if given by the securityholders, may declare the principal of all such
debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately,
but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults
may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal or premium,
if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then
outstanding.
20
If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Tax
Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts," this Note may be redeemed, as a
whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the
giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal
to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the
date fixed for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any
change in or amendment to the laws, or any regulations or rulings promulgated
thereunder, of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official
position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations
or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Initial
Offering Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional
Amounts, as defined below, with respect to this Note as described below. Prior
to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer
shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is
entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts
showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem
have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel satisfactory to
the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no
such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 calendar days prior to
the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional
Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.
Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60
calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption
Notice Period specified on face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption
price will be specified in the notice.
If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Tax
Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts," the Issuer will, subject to
certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts
(the "Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note who is a United States
Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of
and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after
withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax,
assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by
the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then
due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional
Amounts to any such holder who is a United States Alien for or on account of:
(a) any present or future tax, assessment or other
governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for (i) the
existence of any present or former connection between such holder, or
between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of
such holder, if such holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a
corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, and the
United States, including, without limitation, such holder, or such
fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having
been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a
trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a
permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation by or on
behalf of the holder of this Note for payment on a date more than 15
calendar days after the date on which such payment
21
became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly
provided for, whichever occurs later;
(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise or
personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental
charge;
(c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed
by reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding
company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign
corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the
United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid
United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other
tax-exempt organization or a bank receiving interest under Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;
(d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments on or
in respect of this Note;
(e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required
to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or
interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such
withholding by any other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe;
(f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that
would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with
certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning
the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or beneficial
owner of this Note, if such compliance is required by statute or by
regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or
exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
(g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed
by reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or
constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or
indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or
(h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or
(g).
In addition, the Issuer shall not be required to make any payment of Additional
Amounts (i) to any such holder where such withholding or deduction is imposed on
a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any law
implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any
European Union Directive on the taxation of savings; or (ii) by or on behalf of
a holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by
presenting this Note or the relevant coupon to another Paying Agent in a member
state of the European Union. Nor shall the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with
respect to any payment on this Note to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary
or partnership or other than the sole
22
beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by
the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be
included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with
respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner
who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary,
settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note.
The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the
consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then
outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental
indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the
holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may
not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security
affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or
reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof,
or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend the provisions for
conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the
provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the
Issuer or other entities or for other property (other than as provided in the
antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt
securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or impair or
affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the
consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.
Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars
and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments
hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond
the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country
issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public
institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be
entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such
payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of
such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as
of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has
been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or
shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of
this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such
Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant
to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended.
Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the

time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three
recognized foreign exchange dealers (the "Exchange Dealers") for the purchase by
the quoting Exchange
23
Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment
date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders
or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer
commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations
may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of
the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent
shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.
The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated,
unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.
All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the
Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's

maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of
Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes.

premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and
regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency,
the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such
agencies, if any are so designated. If any European Union Directive on the
taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as
a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union
that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such
Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to
conform to, such Directive.

any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any,

interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or
upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the
Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the
Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the
Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in
any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or
interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due.
No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place,
and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed
between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise
in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any
indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer
