DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation (the
"Company", which terms include any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
, or registered assigns, the principal sum of , on
the Stated Maturity Date specified above (or any Redemption Date or Repayment
Date, each as defined on the reverse hereof) (each such Stated Maturity Date,
Redemption Date or Repayment Date being hereinafter referred to as the "Maturity
Date" with respect to the principal repayable on such date) and to pay interest
thereon, at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above
until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above and thereafter at a rate
determined in accordance with the provisions specified above and on the reverse
hereof with respect to one or more Interest Rate Bases specified above until the
principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment, and (to the extent
that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the Default
Rate per annum specified above on any overdue principal, premium and/or
interest. The Company will pay interest in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date, if any, specified above (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing
with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date
specified above, and on the Maturity Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the
Original Issue Date occurs between a Record Date (as defined below) and the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second
Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date to the holder of
this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date.
Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the immediately
preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest has been
paid or duly provided for with respect to this Note) to, but excluding, the
applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each,
an "Interest Period"). The 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 person in whose name this Note (or one or more
predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth
calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof)
immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date"); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the
person to whom the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be
payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for
("Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on any
Record Date, and shall be paid to the person in whose name this Note is
registered at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special
Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee hereinafter referred to, notice whereof shall be given to the
3
4
holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such
Special Record Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this
note may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
all as more fully provided for in the Indenture.
Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this
Note due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon
presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable
repayment of this Note, a duly completed election form as contemplated on the
reverse hereof) at the corporate trust office of the Trustee maintained for that
purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, currently located at
120 Broadway, 33rd Floor, New York, New York 10271, or at such other paying
agency in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Company may
determine; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such payment is to be made in a Specified
Currency other than United States dollars as set forth below, such payment will
be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a
bank designated by the holder hereof at least 15 calendar days prior to the
Maturity Date, provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor and
that this Note (and, if applicable, a duly completed election form) is presented
and surrendered at the aforementioned office of the Trustee in time for the
Trustee to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal
procedures. Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than the
Maturity Date will be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register maintained at the
aforementioned office of the Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a holder of
U.S.$10,000,000 (or, if the Specified Currency specified above is other than
United States dollars, the equivalent thereof in the Specified Currency) or more
in aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having identical or different
terms and provisions) will be entitled to receive interest payments on such
Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds if
appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the
Trustee not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any
such wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect
until revoked by such holder.
If any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date would
otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall
be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an
applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately
preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect
as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue
4
5
with respect to such payment for the period from and after the Maturity Date to
the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any,
and interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency (or, if the
Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts, in such other coin or currency of the
country which issued the Specified Currency as at the time of such payment is
legal tender for the payment of such debts). If the Specified Currency is other
than United States dollars, any such amounts so payable by the Company will be
converted by the Exchange Rate Agent specified above into United States dollars
for payment to the holder of this Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the holder of
this Note may elect to receive such amounts in the Specified Currency pursuant
to the provisions set forth below.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and the
holder of this Note shall not have duly made an election to receive all or a
specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest
in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency, any United States dollar
amount to be received by the holder of this Note will be based on the highest
bid quotation in The City of New York received by the 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 whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange
Rate Agent and approved by the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of
the Specified Currency for United States dollars for settlement on such payment
date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all holders of
Notes scheduled to receive United States dollar payments and at which the
applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange costs
will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If
three such bid quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made
in the Specified Currency.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the
holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any
payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note
in the Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to
the Trustee at its corporate trust office in The City of New York on or prior to
the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity
Date, as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered
or sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission. The holder of
this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments
in the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or
interest and need not file a separate election for each payment. Such election
will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but
written
5
6
notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or prior to the
applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date,
as the case may be.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars or a
composite currency and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election
to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if
any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if
the Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company
will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making
such payment in United States dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate
(as defined below) on the second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if
such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most
recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise specified on the face
hereof. The "Market Exchange Rate" for the Specified Currency means the noon
dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified
Currency as certified for customs purposes by (or if not so certified, as
otherwise determined by) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made
under such circumstances in United States dollars will not constitute an Event
of Default (as defined in the Indenture).
If the Specified Currency is a composite currency and the holder of
this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion
of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this
Note in the Specified Currency and if such composite currency is unavailable due
to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control
of the Company, then the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to
the holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars. The
amount of each payment in United States dollars shall be computed by the
Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the equivalent of the composite currency in
United States dollars. The component currencies of the composite currency for
this purpose (collectively, the "Component Currencies" and each, a "Component
Currency") shall be the currency amounts that were components of the composite
currency as of the last day on which the composite currency was used. The
equivalent of the composite currency in United States dollars shall be
calculated by aggregating the United States dollar equivalents of the Component
Currencies. The United States dollar equivalent of each of the Component
Currencies shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the
most recently available Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency,
or as otherwise specified on the face hereof.
If the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of
combination or subdivision, the number of units of the currency as a Component
Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more
Component Currencies are
6
7
consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of those currencies as
Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency
equal to the sum of the amounts of the consolidated Component Currencies
expressed in such single currency. If any Component Currency is divided into two
or more currencies, the amount of the original Component Currency shall be
replaced by the amounts of such two or more currencies, the sum of which shall
be equal to the amount of the original Component Currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent
shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Note.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set
forth on the reverse hereof and, if so specified above, in the Addendum hereto,
which further provisions shall have the same force and effect as if set forth on
the face hereof.
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein, if the
face of this Note specifies that an Addendum is attached hereto or that
"Other/Additional Provisions" apply, this Note shall be subject to the terms set
forth in such Addendum or such "Other/Additional Provisions".
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(Form of Fixed Rate Senior Security)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Senior Debt Securities
(the "Debt Securities") of the Company issued and to be issued under an
Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1994, as amended, modified or supplemented from
time to time (the "Indenture"), between the Company and NATIONAL CITY BANK, as
Senior Trustee (the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under
the Indenture), to which the 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 Debt Securities, and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities
are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series
of Debt Securities designated as "Medium-Term Notes Due Nine Months or More From
Date of Issue" (the "Notes"). All terms used but not defined in this Note
specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Indenture.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in
minimum denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples thereof or the
minimum Authorized Denomination specified 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 repayable prior to the Stated Maturity
Date.
This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on
any date on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face
hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or the
minimum Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount
hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at
the Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued
thereon to the date fixed for redemption (each, a "Redemption Date"), on notice
given no more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption
Date and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The "Redemption
Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the
face hereof multiplied by the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be
redeemed. The Initial Redemption Percentage, if any, shall decline at each
anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage
Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof until the Redemption Price is
100% of unpaid principal amount to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of
this Note
9
10
in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and
otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the
holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
This Note will be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of
the holder hereof on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the
face hereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or the minimum
Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof
shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at a
repayment price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount to be repaid,
together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for repayment
(each, a "Repayment Date"). For this Note to be repaid, this Note must be
received, together with the form hereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment"
duly completed, by the Trustee at its corporate trust office not more than 60
nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date. Exercise of such
repayment option by the holder hereof will be irrevocable. In the event of
repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid
portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued
in the name of the holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof
as an Original Issue Discount Note, the amount payable to the holder of this
Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity of this
Note will be equal to the sum of (1) the Issue Price specified on the face
hereof (increased by any accruals of Discount, as defined below) and, in the
event of any redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial
Redemption Percentage specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement (as
adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (2)
any accrued and unpaid interest on this Note from the Original Issue Date to the
Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case
may be. As used herein, the "Discount" shall mean the difference between the
Issue Price of an Original Issue Discount Note and par.
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as
of any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of
this Note, such Discount will be accrued using a constant yield method. The
constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention,
a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below),
corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates (with ratable
accruals within a compounding period), a coupon rate equal to the initial
interest rate applicable to this Note and an assumption that the maturity of
this Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date to
the initial Interest Payment Date (the "Initial Period") is shorter than the
compounding period for this
10
11
Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will
be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then
such period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short
period, with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding
sentence.
The interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows:
(i) Unless the Interest Category of this Note is specified on
the face hereof as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note" or an "Inverse
Floating Rate Note", this Note shall be designated as a "Regular
Floating Rate Note" and, except as set forth below or on the face
hereof, shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the
applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread,
if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each
case as specified on the face hereof. Commencing on the Initial
Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be
payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the
face hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the interest rate in effect for
the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial
Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.
(ii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the
face hereof as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note", then, except as set
forth below or on the face hereof, this Note shall bear interest at the
rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or
Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by
the Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset
Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be
reset as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (y) the
interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue
Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest
Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing on
the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified on the face hereof to the
Maturity Date shall be the Fixed Interest Rate specified on the face
hereof or, if no such Fixed Interest Rate is specified, the interest
rate in effect hereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate
Commencement Date.
(iii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on
the face hereof as an "Inverse Floating Rate Note", then, except as set
forth below or on the face hereof, this Note shall bear interest at the
Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate determined by reference to the
applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread,
if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless
11
12
otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate hereon shall
not be less than zero. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date,
the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset
as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the interest
rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to
the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the rate with respect to
each Interest Rate Basis will be determined in accordance with the applicable
provisions below. Except as set forth above or on the face hereof, the interest
rate in effect on each day shall be (i) if such day is an Interest Reset Date,
the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as
hereinafter defined) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if
such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the
Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset
Date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business
Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business
Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business
Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall
be the immediately preceding Business Day.
As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or
Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions
are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The
City of New York; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Specified Currency is other
than United States dollars and any payment is to be made in the Specified
Currency in accordance with the provisions hereof, such day is also not a day on
which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or
executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center (as defined below) of
the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, in the case of European Currency
Units ("ECU"), is not a day that appears as an ECU non-settlement day on the
display designated as "ISDE" on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or is
not a day so designated by the ECU Banking Association) or, if ECU
non-settlement days do not appear on that page (and are not so designated), is
not a day on which payments in ECU cannot be settled in the international
interbank market); PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest
Rate Basis, such day is also a London Business Day (as defined below). "London
Business Day" means any day on which dealings in the Index Currency (as
hereinafter defined) are transacted in the London interbank market. "Principal
Financial Center" (i) means the capital city of the country issuing the
Specified Currency (except as described in the immediately preceding paragraph
with respect to ECU) or (ii) the capital city of the country in which the Index
Currency relates (or in the case of ECU, Luxembourg), as applicable, except in
the case of (i) or (ii) above, that with respect to
12
13
United States dollars, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Deutsche marks,
Dutch guilders, Italian lire, Swiss francs and ECU, the "Principal Financial
Center" shall be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, Frankfurt, Amsterdam,
Milan (solely in the case of the specified currency) and Zurich, respectively.
The "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the CD Rate, the CMT
Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate will
be the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset
Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the Eleventh District
Cost of Funds Rate shall be the last working day of the month immediately
preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan Bank
of San Francisco (the "FHLB of San Francisco") publishes the Index (as defined
below); and the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to LIBOR shall be the
second London Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset
Date, unless the Index Currency is British pounds sterling, in which case the
"Interest Determination Date" will be the applicable Interest Reset Date. The
"Interest Determination Date" with respect to the Treasury Rate shall be the day
in the week in which the applicable Interest Reset Date falls on which day
Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are
normally sold at an auction held on Monday of each week, unless that day is a
legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following
Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week
preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, the "Interest Determination Date"
shall be such preceding Friday; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if an auction shall
fall on any Interest Reset Date then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be
the first Business Day following such auction. If the interest rate of this Note
is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases specified on the
face hereof, the "Interest Determination Date" pertaining to this Note shall be
the most recent Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the
applicable Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is
determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined as of such date, and
the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the related Interest Reset
Date.
CD RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereof as the CD Rate, the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable
Interest Determination Date (a "CD Rate Interest Determination Date") as the
rate on such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519),
Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication ("H.15(519)") under the
heading "CDs (Secondary Market)", or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the related Calculation Date (as defined below), the rate on such
CD Rate Interest Determination Date for
13
14
negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity as
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in its daily statistical
release "Composite 3:30 P.M. Quotations for United States Government Securities"
or any successor publication ("Composite Quotations") under the heading
"Certificates of Deposit". If such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519)
or Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related
Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date
will be calculated by the Calculation Agent specified on the face hereof and
will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00
A.M., New York City time, on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date, of three
leading nonbank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates of
deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable
certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks for negotiable
United States dollar certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest
to the Index Maturity in an amount that is representative for a single
transaction in that market at that time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the dealers
so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this
sentence, the CD Rate determined as of such CD Rate Interest Determination Date
will be the CD Rate in effect on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date.
CMT RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereof as the CMT rate, the CMT Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CMT Rate Interest Determination
Date") as the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined
below) under the caption "...Treasury Constant Maturities...Federal Reserve
Board Release H.15...Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.", under the column for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index (as defined below) for (i) if the Designated CMT
Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date and
(ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the week, or the month, as
applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the
relevant page or is not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519). If such
rate is no longer published or is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with
respect to such Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of
the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate
formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in the
relevant
14
15
H.15(519). If such information is not provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a
yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing
offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records,
by three leading primary United States government securities dealers (each, a
"Reference Dealer") in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent
(from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and
eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations
of the United States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of
approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity
of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the
Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three such Treasury Note quotations, the
CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean
of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New
York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference
Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by
the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of
equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of
equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury Notes with an original maturity of
the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity
Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity
Index and in an amount of at least U.S.$100 million. If three or four (and not
five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then the CMT
Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and
neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided,
however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation
Agent are quoting as mentioned herein, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as
described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity
equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury
Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used.
"Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones
Telerate Service on the page specified on the face hereof (or any other page as
may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury
Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519)) for the purpose of displaying
Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If no such page is
15
16
specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052,
for the most recent week.
"Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity
of the United States Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30
years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be
calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated
CMT Maturity Index shall be 2 years.
COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is
specified on the face hereof as the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper
Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a
"Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date") as the Money Market Yield
(as defined below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the
Index Maturity as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial
Paper--Nonfinancial". In the event that such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on
such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Money Market
Yield of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity as published in
Composite Quotations under the heading "Commercial Paper" (with an Index
Maturity of one month or three months being deemed to be equivalent to an Index
Maturity of 30 days or 90 days, respectively). If such rate is not yet published
in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on such Commercial Paper
Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and
shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at
approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Rate
Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of commercial paper in The
City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having
the Index Maturity placed for a non-financial issuer whose bond rating is "Aa",
or the equivalent from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are
not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined
as of such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the
Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest
Determination Date.
"Money Market Yield" means a yield (expressed as a percentage)
calculated in accordance with the following formula:
D x 360
Money Market Yield = ------------------- x 100
360 - (D x M)
where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on
a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and "M" refers to the actual
number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period.

17
ELEVENTH DISTRICT COST OF FUNDS RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for
this Note is specified on the face hereof as the Eleventh District Cost of Funds
Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (an "Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate
Interest Determination Date") as the rate equal to the monthly weighted average
cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date falls, as
set forth under the caption "11th District" on Telerate Page 7058 as of 11:00
A.M., San Francisco time, on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 7058 on such
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, then the
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds
Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the monthly weighted average cost of
funds paid by member institutions of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank
District that was most recently announced (the "Index") by the FHLB of San
Francisco as such cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding
such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If the
FHLB of San Francisco fails to announce the Index on or prior to such Eleventh
District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for the calendar month
immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate determined as of
such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be
the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate in effect on such Eleventh District
Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is
specified on the face hereof as the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate
shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Federal
Funds Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date for United
States dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal
Funds (Effective)" or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
Calculation Date, the rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination
Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal
Funds/Effective Rate". If such rate is not published in either H.15(519) or
Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related
Calculation Date, then the Federal Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Interest
Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States
dollar federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of federal funds
transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent, prior to
9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination
Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the brokers so selected by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate
17
18
determined as of such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the
Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination
Date.
LIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face
hereof as LIBOR, LIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "LIBOR Interest Determination Date")
in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) if (a) "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof, the
arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the Designated LIBOR Page (as
defined below) by its terms provides only for a single rate, in which case such
single rate will be used) for deposits in the Index Currency having the Index
Maturity, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, that appear (or, if
only a single rate is required as aforesaid, appears) on the Designated LIBOR
Page (as defined below) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date, or (b) "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof, or
if neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof
as the method for calculating LIBOR, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency
having the Index Maturity, commencing on such Interest Reset Date, that appears
on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR
Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two such offered rates appear, or if
no such rate appears, as applicable, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination
Date shall be determined in accordance with the provisions described in clause
(ii) below.
(ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer
than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the
Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the Calculation Agent
shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks
in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide
the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the Index
Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, commencing on the applicable
Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in
such Index Currency in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations
are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be
the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so
provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., in the
applicable Principal Financial Center, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
by three major banks in such Principal Financial Center selected by the
Calculation Agent for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks,
having the Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a
single transaction
18
19
in such Index Currency in such market at such time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if
the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in
this sentence, LIBOR determined as of such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
shall be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date.
"Index Currency" means the currency or composite currency specified on
the face hereof as to which LIBOR shall be calculated. If no such currency or
composite currency is specified on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be
United States dollars.
"Designated LIBOR Page" means (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on
the face hereof, the display on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or any
successor service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of
major banks for the Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on
the face hereof or neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on
the face hereof as the method for calculating LIBOR, the display on the Dow
Jones Telerate Service (or any successor service) for the purpose of displaying
the London interbank rates of major banks for the Index Currency.
PRIME RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereto as the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Prime Rate Interest Determination
Date") as the rate on such date as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the
heading "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not published prior to 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be
the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank
that appears on the Reuters Screen NYMF Page (as defined below) as such bank's
prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Prime Rate Interest
Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen
NYMF Page for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate shall
be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual
number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business
on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by four major money center banks
in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent. If fewer than four
such quotations are so provided, the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of
four prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year
divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate
Interest Determination Date as furnished in The City of New York by the major
money center banks, if any, that have provided such quotations and by as many
substitute banks or trust companies as necessary to obtain such four prime rate
quotations, provided such substitute banks or trust companies are organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, each
having total equity capital of at least U.S.$500 million and being subject to
supervision or examination by Federal or State
19
20
authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to provide such rate or rates;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the banks or trust companies so selected by the
Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate
determined as of such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Prime
Rate in effect on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date.
"Reuters Screen NYMF Page" means the display designated as page "NYMF"
on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the
NYMF page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base
lending rates of major United States banks).
TREASURY RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on
the face hereof as the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate shall be determined as
of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Treasury Rate Interest
Determination Date") as the rate from the auction held on such Treasury Rate
Interest Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct obligations of the United
States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity, as such rate is published
in H.15(519) under the heading "Treasury bills-auction average (investment)" or,
if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation
Date, the auction average rate of such Treasury Bills (expressed as a bond
equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied
on a daily basis) as otherwise announced by the United States Department of the
Treasury. In the event that the results of the Auction of Treasury Bills having
the Index Maturity are not reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on such Calculation Date, or if no such Auction is held, then the
Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield
to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366
days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean of the
secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time,
on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary
United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent,
for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index
Maturity; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate
determined as of such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the
Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be
greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum
Interest Rate, if any, in each case as specified on the face hereof. The
interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate
permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of
general application.
20
21
The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon on or
before each Calculation Date. The "Calculation Date", if applicable, pertaining
to any Interest Determination Date shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth
calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day
immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date,
as the case may be. At the request of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent
will provide to the Holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and,
if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a
determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date.
Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying
the principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest
factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day
in the applicable Interest Period. Unless otherwise specified as the Day Count
Convention on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be
computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the CD
Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the
Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis
or by the actual number of days in the year if the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate
is an applicable Interest Rate Basis. Unless otherwise specified as the Day
Count Convention on the face hereof, the interest factor for this Note, if the
interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases,
shall be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the Applicable
Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof applied.
All percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note shall be
rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five
one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards, and all amounts used in or
resulting from such calculation on this Note shall be rounded, in the case of
United States dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a Specified
Currency other than United States dollars, to the nearest unit (with one-half
cent or unit being rounded upwards).
If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire
indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain covenants and Events of Default with
respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set
forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
21
22
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of the Debt Securities
at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of
not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Debt
Securities at the time outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the holders of not less than a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, on
behalf of the holders of all such Debt Securities, to waive compliance by the
Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the
Indenture permit the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, in certain
instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the holders of Debt Securities of such
series, 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 other
Notes 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.
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 principal, premium, if any, and interest in
respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
and herein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security
Register 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 hereof
and any premium or interest hereon are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the holder hereof or by his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
and herein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Notes of different authorized denominations but otherwise having the
same terms and conditions, as requested by the holder hereof surrendering the
same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
22
