[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Subordinated 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
Subordinated Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2004, between the Issuer and J.P.
Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which
term includes any successor trustee under the Subordinated Indenture) (as may be
amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Subordinated Indenture"), to
which Subordinated 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 the Trustee acting through its principal corporate
trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as a paying
agent for the Notes in the United States and has appointed the Trustee (acting
through JPMorgan Chase Bank, London Branch, ("JPMorgan Chase London") at its
corporate trust office in London as its sub-agent), as the principal paying
agent for the Notes outside the United States (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 Subordinated Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith,
the terms of the Subordinated 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 registered holders
of the Notes designated for redemption their addresses as the same shall appear
on the Note register 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, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the
Subordinated Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a
new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be
issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
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
6
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, (i) this Note with
the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) 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 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 Paying Agent by the
fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter. Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this Note,
exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In
the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the
amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
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
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 other obligations of the Issuer hereunder will constitute
part of the subordinated debt of the Issuer, will be issued under the
Subordinated Indenture and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment,
to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Indenture, to all
"Senior Indebtedness" of the Issuer. The Subordinated Indenture defines "Senior
Indebtedness" as (i) obligations (other than non recourse obligations, the debt
7
securities, including this Note, issued under the Subordinated Indenture or any
other obligations specifically designated as being subordinate in right of
payment to Senior Indebtedness) of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Issuer for
borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar
instruments, and amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings
of any such indebtedness or obligation and (ii) if provided in the supplemental
indenture under which a series of Securities is issued or in the form of
Security for such series, any additional obligations that the Issuer determines
to include within the definition of Senior Indebtedness in order to assure that
the Securities of such series will be accorded the regulatory capital
recognition desired by the Issuer in accordance with Rule 15c3-1 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other rule or regulation
governing the definition of capital that is applicable to the Issuer or its
affiliates.
This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof,
is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only
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.
The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes in the United States
(the "U.S. Registrar," which term includes any successor registrar appointed by
the Issuer), and the U.S. Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of
New York, a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. The Trustee
(acting through JPMorgan Chase London as its sub-agent) has been appointed
registrar for the registration and transfer of Notes outside the United States
(the "Non-U.S. Registrar," which term includes any successor registrar appointed
by the Issuer), and the Non-U.S. Registrar will maintain in London (through the
London office of its sub-agent), a register for the registration and transfer of
Notes. This Note may be transferred at either the aforesaid New York office of
the U.S. Registrar or at the London office of the sub-agent of the Non-U.S.
Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar and
duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar 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 Registrar 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
Subordinated Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are
exchangeable at said offices for other Notes of other authorized denominations
of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All
such registrations, exchanges and transfers 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 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 Registrar and executed by the registered
holder in person or by the holder's
8
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 Registrar, the Issuer in its discretion will execute a new Note
of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note has been destroyed,
lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Registrar 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 Subordinated Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as
defined in the Subordinated Indenture) pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the
Subordinated Indenture is provided in the supplemental indenture relating to the
series of Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part or in
the form of debt security for such series (if such Event of Default is with
respect to less than all outstanding debt securities issued under the
Subordinated Indenture) and such Event of Default 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 certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer shall have occurred and be continuing
or if an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Subordinated
Indenture is provided in the supplemental indenture relating to the series of
Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part or in the form of
debt security for such series (if such Event of Default is with respect to all
outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture) and such
Event of Default 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 Subordinated 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, premium, if any, or
interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of all 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
9
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 Subordinated 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 Subordinated 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.
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)), 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 Original Issue 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.
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 defined below) 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
10
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;
(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;
11
(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 Subordinated 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 Subordinated 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 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 (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; provided, however, that neither this Note nor
the Subordinated Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions
hereof or thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior
Indebtedness then outstanding that would potentially be adversely affected
thereby.
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
12
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,
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 (as defined below) 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

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 the United States (subject to applicable laws and

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.

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

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 Subordinated 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.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the
Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the
holder in whose name this Note is registered 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, premium, 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 Subordinated 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.
