Accrual Date specified above until but excluding the date the principal amount
is paid or duly made available for payment (except as provided below) weekly,
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually in arrears on the Interest Payment
Dates specified above in each year commencing on the Interest Payment Date next
succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and at maturity (or on any
redemption or repayment date); provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual
Date occurs fifteen calendar days or less prior to the first Interest Payment
Date occurring after the Interest Accrual Date, interest payments will commence
on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date.
Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the
Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal hereof has

interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to
the holder of this Note at the office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent

United States as the Issuer may determine for that purpose (each, a "Paying
Agent," which term shall include the Principal Paying Agent).
Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at
maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon presentation

furnished by the payee or, at the option of the payee and subject to applicable
laws and regulations and the procedures of the Paying Agent, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a bank
located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have
been received by the Paying Agent not less than 15 calendar days prior to the
applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
payment in U.S. dollars of the full amount payable on this Note at the offices
of all Paying Agents would be illegal or effectively precluded as a result of
exchange controls or similar restrictions, payment on this Note will be made by
a paying agency in the United States, if such paying agency, under applicable
law and regulations, would be able to make such payment. If this Note is
denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, except as
provided on the reverse hereof, payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on this Note will be made in such Specified Currency either by a
check drawn on a bank outside the United States or, at the option of the payee

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Global Medium-Term Notes,
Series [G/H], having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue
(the "Notes"), of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture,
dated as of November 1, 2004, between the Issuer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as
Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the
Senior Indenture) (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the
"Senior Indenture"), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and
holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed JPMorgan Chase Bank,
London Branch, as its principal paying agent for the Notes (the "Principal
Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Principal Paying
Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with
respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates,
or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not
inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated
by reference herein.
Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof
in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as
set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of
the holder prior to maturity.
If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or
in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together
with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as
indicated below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage
Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will
be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the
redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together
with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as
provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders of the
Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses with
the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on
the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior
Indenture. Notice of redemption to all other holders of Notes shall be given in
the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below and, if by publication, shall
be given once in each of three successive calendar weeks, the first publication
to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date set for
redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof.
In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent
shall cause Schedule [A] [A-1] of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the
reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate
6
principal amount of this Note so redeemed, whereupon the principal amount hereof
shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so redeemed and noted.
If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to
repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional
Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of
$1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that
any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest
accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below),
provided that if this Note is issued with original issue discount, this Note
will be repayable on the applicable Optional Repayment Date or Dates at the
price(s) specified on the face hereof. For this Note to be repaid at the option
of the holder hereof, the Principal Paying Agent must receive at its office in
London, at least 15 but not more than 30 calendar days prior to the date of
repayment, this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below
duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a
member of a national securities exchange, or the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United
States, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the principal amount of the Note,
the principal amount of the Note to be repaid, the certificate number or a
description of the tenor and terms of this Note, a statement that the Option to
Elect Repayment is being exercised and a guarantee that this Note to be repaid,
together with the duly completed form entitled Option to Elect Repayment, will
be received by the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day
(as defined below) after the date of that telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter. However, the telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or
letter shall only be effective if this Note and an Option to Elect Repayment
form duly completed are received by the Principal Paying Agent by the fifth
Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or
letter. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be
irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, the Principal
Paying Agent shall cause Schedule [A] [A-1] of this Note to be endorsed to
reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of this Note so repaid, whereupon the principal
amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so repaid and
noted.
Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but
excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier
redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified on
the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any
redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of
interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not
be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the
Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such
7
payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or
the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding
Business Day.
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 is issued in permanent global bearer form without interest
coupons attached (a "Global Bearer Note"). The beneficial owner of all or a
portion of this Note may exchange its interest in this Note upon not less than
30 calendar days' written notice to the Principal Paying Agent through the
relevant clearing system, in whole, for Notes in bearer form with interest
coupons, if any, attached (the "Definitive Bearer Notes," and, together with the
Global Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or, if so indicated on the face of this
Note, at the beneficial owner's option, in whole or from time to time in part,
for Notes in fully registered form without coupons (the "Registered Notes"), in
each case, in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any
amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the
Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof. Interests in this Note shall
also be exchanged by the Issuer in whole, but not in part, for Definitive Bearer
Notes, which shall be serially numbered, with coupons, if any, attached (or, if
indicated on the face of this Note, at the beneficial owner's option, for
Registered Notes), of any authorized denominations if (i) this Note is
accelerated following an Event of Default or (ii) either Euroclear Bank
S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System ("Euroclear"), or Clearstream
Banking, societe anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"), or any other relevant
clearing system (including Euroclear France) is closed for business for a
continuous period of fourteen calendar days (other than by reason of public
holidays) or announces an intention to cease business permanently or in fact
does so. The Issuer shall give notice to the Principal Paying Agent promptly
following any such acceleration or upon learning of any such closure. Any
exchanges referred to above shall be made at the office of the Principal Paying
Agent, or, in the case of Registered Notes, at the office of the transfer agent
for the Registered Notes in London, which transfer agent will initially be
JPMorgan Chase Bank, London Branch, upon compliance with any procedures set
forth in, or established pursuant to, the Senior Indenture; provided, however,
that the Issuer shall not be required (i) to register the transfer of or
exchange this Note for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding the first
publication or other transmission, if applicable, of a Notice of redemption of
all or any portion hereof or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
portion of this Note selected for redemption or surrendered for optional
repayment, except that such portion of this Note may be exchanged for a
Registered Note of like tenor; provided that such Registered Note shall be
simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be; and
provided, further, that if a Registered Note is issued in exchange for any
portion of this Note after the close of business at the office of the Principal
Paying Agent on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment
of interest on such Registered Note and before the opening of business at such
office on the relevant Interest Payment Date, any interest will not be payable
on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such Registered Note, but will be
payable on such Interest Payment Date only to the holder of this Note. Upon
exchange of this Note in whole for a Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer
Notes, or in whole or in part for a
8
Registered Note or Registered Notes, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause
Schedule [A] [A-1] of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of the
principal amount hereof by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
such Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or such Registered Note
or Registered Notes, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for
all purposes by the amount so exchanged and noted. All such exchanges of Notes
will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith. The date of any Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall
be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange.
All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged for
Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
following two sentences as soon as practicable after (i) the first beneficial
owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive Bearer
Note, (ii) the Issuer gives notice to the Principal Paying Agent of an
acceleration of the Note or (iii) either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or
any other relevant clearing system is closed for business for a continuous
period of fourteen calendar days (other than by reason of public holidays) or
announces an intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. In the
event of any exchange of interests in this Note for a Definitive Bearer Note, a
common depositary located outside the United States (the "common depositary")
holding this Note for Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other
relevant clearing system shall instruct the Principal Paying Agent regarding the
aggregate principal amount of Definitive Bearer Notes and the denominations of
such Definitive Bearer Notes that must be authenticated and delivered to each
relevant clearing system in exchange for this Note. Thereafter, the Principal
Paying Agent, acting solely in reliance on such instructions, shall, upon
surrender to it of this Note and subject to the conditions in the preceding
paragraph, authenticate and deliver Definitive Bearer Notes in exchange for this
Note in accordance with such instructions and shall cause Schedule [A] [A-1]of
this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note. Nothing in this
paragraph shall prevent the further exchange of Definitive Bearer Notes into
Registered Notes.
This Note may be transferred by delivery; provided, however, that this Note
may be transferred only to a common depositary outside the United States for
Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other relevant clearing system or
to a nominee of such a depositary.
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, in the case of any destroyed or lost
or stolen Note, 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.
9
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 (except that if
this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," such
redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof
multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed
as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue
discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption,
which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date
of redemption) (the "Amortized Amount")), 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 the face hereof, which date and the applicable
redemption price will be specified in the Notice.
If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United
States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due
in respect of this Note would, under any present or future laws or regulations
of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other
information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the
disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the
nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note who is a
United States Alien (as defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that
would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i)
directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent
of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee
or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United
States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b)
payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not
otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note,
as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof
(except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or
Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal
amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face
hereof (expressed as a percentage
10
of the aggregate principal amount) plus the Amortized Amount), together with
accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, or, at the election of the
Issuer if the conditions of the next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the
additional amounts specified in such paragraph. The Issuer shall make such
determination and election as soon as practicable, shall promptly notify the
Trustee thereof and shall publish (or transmit, as applicable) prompt notice
thereof (the "Determination Notice") stating the effective date of such
certification, identification or other information reporting requirements,
whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or has elected to pay the additional
amounts specified in the next succeeding paragraph, and (if applicable) the last
date by which the redemption of this Note must take place, as provided in the
next succeeding sentence. If the Issuer redeems this Note, such redemption shall
take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the
Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall elect by notice to the Trustee at
least 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or at least 30
calendar days prior to the last day of the Redemption Notice Period specified on
the face hereof. Notice of such redemption of this Note will be given to the
holder of this Note not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the
date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on
the face hereof. Such redemption notice shall include a statement as to the last
date by which this Note to be redeemed may be exchanged for Registered Notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the
Issuer shall subsequently determine, not less than 30 calendar days prior to the
date fixed for redemption or prior to the last day of the Redemption Notice
Period specified on the face hereof, that subsequent payments would not be
subject to any such certification, identification or other information reporting
requirement, in which case the Issuer shall publish (or transmit, as applicable)
prompt notice of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be
revoked and of no further effect. The right of the holder of this Note to
exchange this Note for Registered Notes pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph will terminate at the close of business of the Principal Paying Agent
on the fifteenth day prior to the date fixed for redemption, and no further
exchanges of this Note for Registered Notes shall be permitted.
If and so long as the certification, identification or other information
reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully
satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer
may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay as additional amounts such amounts as
may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United States
following the effective date of such requirements by the Issuer or any Paying
Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note of which the
beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the
nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be disclosed to the
Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with respect to the
payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or withholding for or on
account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup
withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable in the
circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first
sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result of
presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 calendar days after the date
on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is
duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount
provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer
elects to pay any additional amounts
11
pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the right to redeem this Note
as a whole at any time pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately
preceding paragraph and the redemption price of this Note will not be reduced
for applicable withholding taxes. If the Issuer elects to pay additional amounts
pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first sentence of
this paragraph should no longer be satisfied, then the Issuer will redeem this
Note as a whole, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately
preceding paragraph.
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 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;
12
(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 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 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 Global Medium-Term 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
13
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 of 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.
If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified Payment
upon Acceleration or Redemption," then (i) if the principal hereof is declared
to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of
principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited to the
aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price
specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate
principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest
Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated
using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the
purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture
prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof
shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set
forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on
the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of
securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the
acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal
the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as
set forth in clause (i) above.
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,
(a) 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 or the cash value of the 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 (b) 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 or 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 (as defined
below) 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 or
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 required payment is in an unavailable Specified
Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate
is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular
Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent (as
defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City 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 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. International
Limited, 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 sole
discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all
purposes and binding on holders of Notes.
So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be
maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided. If this Note is listed on
the London Stock Exchange plc and such exchange so requires, the Issuer shall
maintain a Paying Agent in London. 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. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the
payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside
15
the United States (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.
With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any
Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on
any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal,
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 and 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 holder of this Note.
The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may
treat the holder of this Note as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or
not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium, if
any, or 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
or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Issuer 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.
This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(a) the term "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or
Sunday, (i) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking
