(GLOBAL ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT FIXED RATE NOTE)
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company
(herein called the "Notes"), issued or to be issued in one or more series under
an Indenture, dated as of October 1, 1991 (herein called the "Indenture"),
between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee",
which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which
Indenture and all Indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the
terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Note is one of the series designated herein. By the terms of the Indenture,
additional Notes of this series and of other separate series, which may vary as
to date, amount, Stated Maturity, interest rate or method of calculating the
interest rate and in other respects as therein provided, may be issued in an
unlimited principal amount.
If possible Redemption Dates or periods within which Redemption Dates may
occur and the related Redemption Prices (unless otherwise specified above under
"Other Terms", expressed as percentages of the principal amount of this Note if
this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note for federal income tax purposes
only as shown above and as percentages of the Amortized Face Amount (as defined
below) of this Note if this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note subject to
the "Special Provisions" below as shown above) as set forth above under
"Redemption Terms", this Note is subject to redemption prior to the Maturity
Date upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice by mail to the Person
in whose name this Note is registered at such address as shall appear in the
registry books of the Company, on any Redemption Date so specified or occurring
within any period so specified, as a whole or in part, at the election of the
Company, at the applicable Redemption Price so specified, together in the case
of any such redemption with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, provided,
however, that installments of interest whose stated maturity is on or prior to
such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder of this Note (or one or more
predecessor Notes) at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates,
referred to above, all as provided in the Indenture, in the event of redemption
of this Note in part only, a new Note of this series and of like tenor of an
authorized denomination for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the
name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. Unless otherwise
specified above under "Redemption Terms", this Note is not subject to any
sinking fund.
If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and
be continuing, a lesser amount than the principal amount due at the Stated
Maturity of the Notes of this series may (subject to the conditions set forth in
the Indenture) be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture. Upon
-4-
payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of
interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest (in each case to the
extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of
the Company's obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and
interest, if any, on the Notes of this series shall terminate.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected
under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent
of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected and, for certain
purposes, without the consent of the Holders of any Notes at the time
Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series
at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series,
to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such
consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu
hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Note.
In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent or waiver under the Indenture or whether a quorum is present at
a meeting of Holders of Notes, the principal amount of any Original Issue
Discount Note that shall be deemed to be Outstanding shall be the amount of the
principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such
determination upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay the principal (and premium, if any) of and interest on
this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the registry books of the
Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office
or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor of
authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

series are issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any amount in excess thereof which is an integral
multiple of $1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series and of like tenor of a
different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.

exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
