This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture
hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee
of The Depository Trust Company (the "Depositary"). This Global Security is
exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a Person other than the
Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the
Indenture, and no transfer of this Security (other than a transfer of this
Security as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a
nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the
Depositary) may be registered except in such limited circumstances. The
Depositary will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any beneficial
interest in this Global Security unless such beneficial interest is in an amount
equal to an authorized denomination for Securities of this series, and the
Depositary, by its acceptance hereof, agrees to be so bound.
Unless this Security is presented by an authorized representative of
the Depositary to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. or its agent for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment, and any Security issued is registered in the name
of Cede & Co. or such other name as is requested by an authorized representative
of the Depositary (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or such other entity as
is requested by an authorized representative of the Depositary), ANY TRANSFER,
PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS
WRONGFUL since the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., a corporation duly organized and existing
under the laws of Delaware (herein called the "Company", which term includes
any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for
value received, hereby promises to pay to
CEDE & CO.
or registered assigns, the principal sum of
DOLLARS
on the Maturity Date shown above, and to pay interest thereon at a rate per
annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate shown above until the first Interest
Reset Date shown above following the Original Issue Date shown above and
thereafter at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions set forth
below under the heading "Determination of CD Rate", "Determination of Commercial
Paper Rate", "Determination of Federal Funds Rate", "Determination of LIBOR",
"Determination of Prime Rate", "Determination of Treasury Rate" or
"Determination of CMT Rate",
3
depending upon whether the Interest Rate Basis is the CD Rate, Commercial Paper
Rate, Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, Prime Rate, Treasury Rate or CMT Rate as
indicated above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for
payment.
The Company will pay interest monthly, quarterly or semi-annually as shown
above under "Interest Payment Period", commencing with the first Interest
Payment Date shown above next succeeding the Original Issue Date, and on the
Maturity Date; provided, however, that if the Original Issue Date is between a
Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date, interest payments will
commence on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular
Record Date; and provided, further, however, that if an Interest Payment Date
(other than the Maturity Date) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day
(as defined below), such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day that
is a Business Day, except that, in the case the Interest Rate Basis is LIBOR, as
indicated by the box marked above, if the following Business Day falls in the
next calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the next preceding day
that is a Business Day. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day other than
(i) a Saturday, Sunday or other day that, in New York City, banking institutions
generally are authorized or required to close and (ii) in case the Interest Rate
Basis is LIBOR, a day that is not a London Business Day. As used herein, "London
Business Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are
transacted in the London interbank market. In the event the Maturity Date falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force
and effect as if made on the Maturity Date and no interest will accrue from and
after the Maturity Date. Except as provided above and in the Indenture referred
to below, interest payments will be made on the Interest Payment Dates shown
above. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person
in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities of this
series) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
such interest, which shall be the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day)
next preceding such Interest Payment Date, provided, however, that interest
payable on the Maturity Date, or upon earlier redemption or repayment, if any,
will be payable to the Person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such
interest which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered
Holder hereof on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Person in
whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall have been
given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record
4
Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with
the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this
series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Funds for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on this Security on any Interest Payment Date and at the Maturity Date
will be made available to the Paying Agent. As soon as possible thereafter, the
Paying Agent will pay such funds to the Depositary, and the Depositary will
allocate and pay such funds to the owners of beneficial interests in this
Security in accordance with its existing operating procedures.
This Security is one of a duly authorized series of securities of the
Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more
series under an Indenture dated as of December 1, 1989 (herein called the
"Indenture"), between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank (National
Association) and succeeded to by Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (herein
called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference

duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of
the Securities and the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,

the Senior Medium-Term Notes, Series C of the Company. The Securities may mature
at different times, bear interest at different rates, be denominated in
different currencies and be redeemable at different times or not at all.
Except as provided herein, this Security is not redeemable prior to the
Maturity Date. If this Security is redeemable, it may be redeemed at the option

percentage or percentages of the principal amount set forth above plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption.

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
Index Maturity and a remaining term to maturity of not less than such
Index Maturity minus one year, provided, however, if the Calculation Agent
cannot obtain three such Treasury Note quotations, the rate of interest
hereon will be the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent to be a yield
to maturity based on the arithmetic mean (rounded to the nearest
13
.00001% with .000005% rounded upwards) of the secondary market offered
rates as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the 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 Index Maturity and a
remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity and in an amount
of at least U.S. $100 million, provided, however, if three or four (and
not five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then
the rate of interest hereon will be based on the arithmetic mean (as
calculated by the Calculation Agent and rounded to the nearest .00001%
with .000005% rounded upwards) of the offered rates obtained and neither
the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be eliminated;
in each case, as such rate is adjusted by the addition or the subtraction of the
Spread, if any, specified above, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier,
if any, specified above; provided, however, that if subparagraph (d) above is
applicable and fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation
Agent are quoting as mentioned in such subparagraph, the interest rate in effect
until the Interest Reset Date next succeeding such Interest Reset Date shall be
the rate hereon in effect on the Interest Determination Date next preceding such
Interest Reset Date. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as
described in subparagraph (d) above have remaining terms to maturity equally
close to the Index Maturity, the quotes for the CMT Rate Note with the shorter
remaining term to maturity will be used.
"Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc.
(or any successor service) on the page specified above (or any other page as may
replace such page on such service for the purpose of displaying Treasury
Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519)) or, if no such page is specified
above, page 7052.
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, specified above. In addition, the interest rate hereon
shall 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. The
Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with
the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. At the request of the Holder
hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the Holder hereof the interest
rate hereon then in
14
effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective as of
the next Interest Reset Date.
Unless otherwise indicated above, each interest payment on this Security
will include interest accrued from and including the Original Issue Date or the
last date to which interest has been paid and to but excluding the applicable
Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date. Accrued interest hereon from the
Original Issue Date or from the last date to which interest hereon has been
paid, as the case may be, shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face
amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall
be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the
Original Issue Date or from the last date to which interest shall have been
paid, as the case may be, to the date for which accrued interest is being
calculated. Unless otherwise indicated above, the interest factor (expressed as
a decimal rounded to the nearest ten-millionth, with five hundred-millionths

series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder

tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat
