Interest Rate per annum specified above, from and including the Interest Accrual
Date specified above until payment of such principal sum has been made or duly
provided for, in the number of installments (except to the extent redeemed or
repaid prior to the maturity) set forth above (each, an "Installment") of an
amount for each $1,000.00, or if this Note is denominated in a Specified
Currency other than U.S. dollars, for each 1,000 units of such Specified
Currency, principal amount as set forth on Schedule I hereto, on each
Installment Payment Date specified above, commencing with the Installment
Payment Date immediately following the Original Issue Date shown above, and at
maturity (or on any redemption or optional repayment date); provided, however,
that, notwithstanding the provisions of Schedule I, if the Interest Accrual Date
occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding
Installment Payment Date, payments of principal and interest will commence on
the second Installment Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date and
interest accrued from the Interest Accrual Date to such second Installment
Payment Date plus any principal scheduled to be paid on a prior Installment
Payment Date will be paid to the registered holder of this Note on the Record
Date with respect to such second Installment Payment Date. Each Installment
shall constitute both a payment of interest and a partial repayment of
principal, allocated as set forth in Schedule I hereto. Installments will be
applied first to interest due and payable hereon and then to the reduction of
the unpaid principal amount hereof.
Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent 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 been paid or duly made
available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Installment Payment Date (together with the principal
payable on such Installment Payment Date) will, subject to certain exceptions
described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more
predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15

Day (as defined below)) (each such date, a "Record Date"), except if and to the
extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Installment due on such
Installment Payment Date, in which case such defaulted Installment shall be paid
to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on
a subsequent Record Date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior
to the date of payment of such defaulted Installment) established by notice
given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the holders of Notes not less
than 15 calendar days preceding such subsequent Record Date; provided, however,
that interest payable at maturity, redemption or optional repayment will be
payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. As used
herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that
is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are
authorized or required by law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York
or (y) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, euro or Australian dollars, in the principal financial center of the
country of the Specified Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in
Australian dollars, in Sydney and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that
is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement
Express Transfer System ("TARGET") is operating (a "TARGET Settlement Day").

part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds to
the registered holder hereof on such date upon surrender of this Note at the
office or agency of the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof,
maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
or at such other paying agency as the Issuer may determine in U.S. dollars. U.S.
dollar payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or on any date
of redemption or repayment, will be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the
address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note
register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 (or the equivalent in a Specified
Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same
Installment Payment Date, the interest on which is payable in U.S. dollars,
shall be entitled to receive payments of principal and interest, other than
principal and interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or optional
repayment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire
transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less
than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Installment Payment Date.
If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment
in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of
principal, premium, if any, or interest with regard to this Note will be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the
holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire
transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing [not
less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date](8) [, with
respect to payments of interest, on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the
applicable Record Date and, with respect to payments of principal or any
premium, at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption
or repayment date, as the case may be](9); provided that, if payment of
interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note is payable in euro,
the account must be a euro account in a country for which the euro is the lawful
currency, provided further, that if such wire transfer instructions are not
received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Note register; and provided, further, that 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 surrender of this Note at the
office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph.

(9) Applies only for a Registered Global Security.

If so indicated on the face hereof, the holder of this Note, if denominated
in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to receive all or a
portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written
request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the fifth Business Day after such
Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any
redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in
effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as
to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior
to such Record Date, for payments of interest, or at least ten calendar days
prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, for payments of
principal, as the case may be.
If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified
Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent (as
defined below) will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of
such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the
exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at
approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day
preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange
dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate
Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer) for the purchase by the quoting dealer of
the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on such payment date in
the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such an election
to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract.
If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the
Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of
this Note by deductions from such payments. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face
hereof.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth
on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Senior Indenture, as defined on the
reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term
Notes, Series F, 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 further 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 at its
corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying
Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed
by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. 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 provided on the face hereof in
accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, 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. 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. Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered
holders of the Notes designated for redemption at 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 Senior 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 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
7
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,
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 Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust
office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, 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 a trust company in the United States setting forth the name
of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number
of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal
amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is
being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form
entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the
Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram,
telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and
form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day.
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 Installment Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier
redemption or optional repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise
provided 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 Installment Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any
redemption or optional 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 Installment 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 Installment 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.
8
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 stated 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. 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.
9
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, premium,
if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior
Indenture, including the series of Senior 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 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, 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 "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 (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
10
on the date of redemption)), if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any
change in or amendment to the laws (including a holding, judgment or as ordered
by a court of competent jurisdiction), 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 occurs, becomes effective or, in the case
of a change in official position, is announced 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 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 U.S. 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 U.S. Alien for or on account of:
(a) any such 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 U.S. 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;
11
(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 controlled foreign corporation
or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or
as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. 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 U.S. Alien who is a
12
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 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 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.
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
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
13
Exchange Rate Agent 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.
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 and coupons.
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 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.
The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal,
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.
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, 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, 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 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.
