Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to
or registered assigns, the principal sum of DOLLARS

The principal of this Note shall not bear interest except in the case
of a default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at
the Maturity Date, and in such case the overdue principal of this Note shall
bear interest at a rate which is equivalent to the yield to maturity stated
above (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable), which shall accrue from the Maturity Date or the date payment is

such principal has been made or duly provided for. Interest on any overdue
principal shall be payable
upon demand. Any such interest on any overdue principal that is not so paid on
demand shall bear interest at the same rate as the interest on the overdue
principal (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable), which shall accrue from the date of such demand for payment to the
date payment of such interest has been made or duly provided for, and such
interest shall also be payable on demand. In the event that any Maturity Date is
not a Business Day, the principal otherwise payable on such date will be paid on
the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on
such Maturity Date. In the event that any Redemption Date is not a Business Day,
such Redemption Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day.
Payment of principal and any interest or premium on this Note will be made in
immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin
or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. 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 Amortized Face Amount (as defined below) of this Note) are
set forth above under "Redemption Terms", this Note is subject to redemption, in
whole or in part, at the option of the Company prior to the Maturity Date upon

Medium-Term Note, Series K (Subordinated)
(Global Original Issue Discount Zero Coupon 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, as amended by a First
Supplemental Indenture dated as of April1, 1993 (as so amended, 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, the Holders of Senior
Indebtedness 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.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent and in the
manner provided in the Indenture referred to above, subordinate and subject in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as defined in
the Indenture, and each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, agrees to
and shall be bound by the provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and directs
the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination of this Note as provided in the
Indenture and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes.
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 Amortized Face Amount (as
defined below) of this Note) are 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. 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.
-4-
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 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 amount due and payable on this Note in the event that the principal
amount hereof is declared due and payable prior to the stated maturity or in the
event that this Note is redeemed shall, unless otherwise indicated above under
"Other Terms", be the Amortized Face Amount (as defined below) of this Note or,
in the case of redemption, the specified percentage of the Amortized Face Amount
of this Note on the day such payment is due and payable, as determined by the
Company, plus any accrued but unpaid "qualified stated interest" payments (as
defined in the Treasury Regulations regarding original issue discount issued by
the Treasury Department (the "Regulations")).
The "Amortized Face Amount" of this Note shall be the amount equal to the
sum of (i) the issue price (as defined below) of this Note and (ii) that portion
of the difference between the issue price and the principal amount of this Note
that has been amortized at the Stated Yield (as defined below) of this Note
(computed in accordance with Section 1272(a)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and Section 1.1275-1(b) of the Regulations, in each case as in
effect on the issue date of this Note) at the date as of which the Amortized
Face Amount is calculated, but in no event can the Amortized Face Amount exceed
the principal amount of this Note due at the stated maturity hereof. As used in
the preceding sentence, the term "issue price" means the principal amount of
this Note due at the stated maturity hereof less the Original Issue Discount of
this Note specified above. The term "Stated Yield" of this Note means the Yield
to Maturity specified above for the period from the Original Issue Date of this
Note specified above, to the stated maturity hereof based on the issue price and
principal amount payable at the stated maturity hereof.
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
-5-
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.
Subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company set
forth in this Note and as provided in the Indenture referred to above, 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 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 (and premium, if any)
of this Note is 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 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.
