principal sum outstanding from time to time in the Specified Currency at the
Initial Interest Rate shown above from and including the Original Issue Date
shown above until but excluding the first Interest Reset Date shown above
following the Original Issue Date and thereafter at the Base Rate shown above,
adjusted by the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any, shown above, determined
in accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof, until said principal
amount is paid or duly provided for in accordance with the terms hereof. The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on each Interest
Payment Date as specified on the face hereof shall, as provided in the Indenture
referred to on the reverse hereof, be paid to the person in whose name this Note
is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest as specified on the face hereof, which, unless otherwise specified on
the face hereof, shall be the date (whether or not a Business Day), 15 calendar
days immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if this Note is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related
Interest Payment Date, the interest so payable for the period from the Original
Issue Date to such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date to the Registered Holder hereof on the related Regular
Record Date. For purposes of this Note, "Business Day" means any day, other
than Saturday or Sunday, that is (i) neither a legal holiday nor a day on which
banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive
order to close in (a) The City of New York, (b) the City of Chicago, or (c) if
the Specified Currency for this Note is other than U.S. dollars, or Euro, the
Principal Financial Center (as defined below) of the country issuing such
currency; (ii) if the Specified Currency for this Note is Euro, a day on which
the TARGET System is operating or in any other place or any other days as may be
specified herein; and (iii) if this Note is a LIBOR Note, a London Business Day.

this Note is to be made, except that with respect to Australian dollars,
Deutsche marks, Dutch guilders, Italian lire and Swiss francs, the Principal
Financial Center shall be Sydney, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Milan and Zurich,
respectively. "London Business Day" means (i) if the Index Currency (as defined
on the face hereof) is other than Euro, any day on which dealings in such Index
Currency are transacted in the London interbank market or (ii) if the Index
Currency is Euro, a day on which the TARGET System is operating or in any other
place or any other days as may be specified herein.
The principal hereof and any premium and interest hereon are payable by the
Company in the Specified Currency shown above. If the Specified Currency shown
above is other than U.S. dollars, the Company or the Paying Agent will (unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof) arrange to convert all payments in
respect hereof into U.S. dollars in the manner described on the reverse hereof.
The Holder hereof may, if so indicated above, elect to receive all payments in
respect hereof in the Specified Currency by delivery of a written notice to the
Paying Agent not later than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment
date. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to
the Paying Agent received not later than 15 calendar days prior to the
applicable payment date. If the Company determines that the Specified Currency
is not available to the Company for making payments in respect hereof due to the
imposition of exchange controls or other
F-2
circumstances beyond the Company's control, then the Holder hereof may not so
elect to receive payments in the Specified Currency, and any such outstanding
election shall be automatically suspended, and payments shall be in U.S.
dollars, until the Company determines that the Specified Currency is again
available to the Company for making such payments.

Holder hereof is the Holder of U.S.$10,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in a
Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars determined as provided on the reverse
hereof) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor and term,
such U.S. dollar interest payments will be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, but only if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been
received in writing by the Paying Agent not less than 15 calendar days prior to
the applicable Interest Payment Date. Simultaneously with any election by the
Holder hereof to receive payments in respect hereof in the Specified Currency
(if other than U.S. dollars), such Holder shall provide appropriate wire
transfer instructions to the Paying Agent and all such payments will be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the
payee with a bank located outside the United States. Unless otherwise specified
on the face hereof, the principal hereof and any premium and interest hereon
payable at Maturity will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender
of this Note at the Place of Payment. If this Note is a Global Security,
beneficial owners of interest herein will be paid in accordance with DTC's and
its participants' procedures in effect from time to time.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth
on the reverse hereof, and such further provisions shall for all purposes have
the same effect as if set forth in this place.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES G
(FLOATING RATE)
This Note is one of a series of duly authorized issue of debentures, notes
or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (the "Debt Securities") of a
series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued in one or more series
under a Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of October 19, 1996 (herein
called the "Indenture"), between the Company and First Union National Bank, as
trustee (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 Debt Securities and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are
to be, authenticated and delivered. The Debt Securities may be issued in one or
more series, which different series may be issued in various currencies, may be
issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times,
may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject to different
redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or
analogous funds (if any), may be subject to different covenants and Events of
Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Debt Security
is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate initial
public offering price or purchase price of up to U.S.$1,500,000,000 or the
equivalent thereof in one or more foreign or composite currencies, including the
Euro, subject to reduction as a result of the sale of other Debt Securities.
The U.S. dollar equivalent of the public offering price or purchase price of
Notes denominated in a foreign or composite currency will be determined by an
agent designated by the Company, which initially shall be Bank One Trust
Company, N.A. (the "Paying Agent"), on the basis of the noon buying rate in New
York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs
purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate")
for such currencies on the applicable trade dates.
"Maturity", when used with respect to this Note, means the date on which
the principal of this Note or an installment of principal becomes due and
payable as provided herein or in the Indenture, whether at Stated Maturity or by
declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof in the case of Notes
represented by a Global Security, the authorized denominations of Notes
denominated in U.S. dollars will be U.S.$1,000 and any larger amount that is a
multiple of U.S.$1,000. The authorized denominations of Notes denominated in a
currency other than U.S. dollars will be as set forth on the respective faces
thereof.
Each Note will be issued initially as either a Book-Entry Note or a
Certificated Note.
If the Specified Currency is other than U.S. dollars, the amount of any
U.S. dollar payment to be made in respect hereof will be determined by the
Paying Agent based on the highest firm bid quotation expressed in U.S. dollars
received by the Paying Agent as of 11:00
R-1
a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day before the applicable
payment date (or, if no such rate is quoted on such date, the Paying Agent will
use the last date on which such rate was quoted) from three (or, if three are
not available, then two) recognized foreign exchange dealers in The City of New
York (which may include the agents, their affiliates or the Paying Agent)
selected by the Paying Agent for the purchase by the quoting dealer, for
settlement on such payment date, of the aggregate amount of the Specified
Currency payable on such payment date in respect of all Notes denominated in
such Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the
Holders of such Notes by deductions from such U.S. dollar payments. If no such
bid quotations are available, then such payments will be made in the Specified
Currency, unless the Specified Currency is unavailable due to the imposition of
exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the Company's control, in
which case payment will be made as described in the next paragraph.
If the Specified Currency is other than U.S. dollars and this Note is a
Global Note, the Holder of a beneficial interest in this Global Note may elect
to receive a payment or payments in the Specified Currency by notifying the DTC
participant through which its Notes are held on or prior to the applicable
Record Date of (1) the Holder's election to receive all or a portion of the
payment in the Specified Currency, and (2) wire transfer instructions to an
account located outside of the United States. DTC must be notified of an
election and wire transfer instructions (1) on or prior to the third New York
Business Day (as defined below) after the Record Date for any payment of
interest, and (2) on or prior to the tenth New York Business Day after the
Record Date for any payment of principal. DTC will notify the Paying Agent of
an election and wire transfer instructions (1) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York
City time on the fifth New York Business Day after the Record Date for any
payment of interest, and (2) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the
twelfth New York Business Day after the Record Date for any payment of
principal. If complete instructions are forwarded to DTC through DTC
participants and by DTC to the Paying Agent on or prior to such dates, such
Holder will receive payment in the Specified Currency outside of DTC; otherwise,
only U.S. dollar payments will be made by the Paying Agent to DTC.
The term "New York Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday or
Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York are
authorized or required by law or executive order to close.
Except as set forth below, if any payment in respect hereof is required to
be made in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such currency is
unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the Company's control or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency (unless otherwise replaced by
the Euro) or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or
within the international banking community, then such payment shall be made in
U.S. dollars until such currency is again available to the Company or so used.
The amount so payable in such foreign currency shall be converted into U.S.
dollars on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for
such currency or as otherwise indicated on the face hereof. Any payment made
under such circumstances in U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default
under the Indenture.
R-2
If the principal of and any interest and premium, if any, on the Notes of a
series is payable in any Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and (i) the
country of which such Specified Currency has been a currency of legal tender for
the payment of public and private debts (the "Currency Country") becomes a
Participating Member State (as defined below), then the Issuer may, solely at
its option and without the consent of the Holders of such Notes or the need to
amend the Indenture, on any Interest Payment Date after the EMU Date and after
the date on which such country has become a Participating Member State has
occurred, respectively (such Interest Payment Date, a "Redenomination Date"),
redenominate all of the Notes of such series into Euros (whether or not any
Other Securities (as defined below) are so redenominated) upon the giving of not
less than 30 days' notice thereof in accordance with the terms of such Notes,
which notice shall set forth the manner in which such redenomination shall be
effected. If the Issuer elects to so redenominate a series of Notes, the Notes
of such series shall be redenominated:
(i) in such manner and subject to such procedures as the Issuer shall
determine to be consistent with existing or anticipated market practice for
the redenomination into Euros of debt obligations issued in the Euromarkets
(whether denominated in such Specified Currency or otherwise) which are
held in international clearing systems ("euromarket debt obligations"); or
(ii) if no such determination as set out in clause (i) above is made,
the Issuer shall convert the nominal Specified Currency amount of each Note
of such series into Euros by using the Fixed Conversion Rate (as defined
below) and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest cent (with 0.005 of
a Euro being rounded upwards) (the "Redenominated Amount") and the Notes of
the same series denominated in such Specified Currency shall be replaced
either (1) by the Notes of the same series equal in value to the
Redenominated Amount, denominated in Euros, each with a denomination of one
cent; or (2) if the international clearing systems in which the Notes are
then cleared and settled do not then accept for clearance and settlement
redenominated euromarket debt obligations, each with a denomination of one
cent, by Notes of the same series equal in value to the Redenominated
Amount, denominated in Euros, each with a denomination of one Euro. Any
balance remaining from a redenomination in accordance with clause (2) above
shall be paid by way of cash adjustment. Such cash adjustment shall be
payable in Euros on the Redenomination Date to, or to the order of, the
Holders of the Notes of such series in a manner substantially similar to
that provided herein for the payment of interest on the Notes.
Despite the above procedures, the Issuer may, solely at its option and
without the consent of the Holders of the Notes or a series or the need to amend
the Indenture, upon the giving of not less than 30 days' irrevocable notice
thereof in accordance with the terms hereof (which notice shall set forth the
manner in which such further redenomination shall be effected), elect that, with
effect from the Redenomination Date for such series or such later Interest
Payment Date as it may specify (the "Specified Date"), the denominations of the
Notes of such series shall be one cent (if applicable), Euro 1, Euro 10, Euro
100, Euro 1,000, Euro 10,000, Euro 100,000 and Euro 1,000,000; provided,
however, that in no event shall the
R-3
minimum denominations of such Notes after the Redenomination Date with respect
thereto be lower than the equivalent of any minimum denominations of such Notes
required by law, regulation or market practice. If the Issuer so elects, the
then-existing Euro-denominated Notes of a series ("Original Euro Notes") shall
be exchangeable for Notes of such new denomination ("New Euro Notes") having the
same aggregate nominal amount as the Original Euro Notes so exchanged, in
accordance with procedures to be set forth in the relevant notice of
redenomination.
The definitions of Business Day and Market Day that shall apply to the
Notes for payments on or in respect thereof following any redenomination thereof
and for all other purposes under the Notes and under the Indenture shall be (A)
business day and market day definitions for fixed or floating rate (as
applicable) Euro-denominated debt obligations issued in the Euromarkets and held
in international clearing systems which are consistent with existing or
anticipated market practices as determined by the Issuer or (B) if no such
Business Day and Market Day definitions are so determined, the definitions of
Business Day and Market Day which applied to such Notes before redenomination or
(C) if the Issuer would be unable to make payments on the Notes on the date that
payment is expressed to be due if (B) above were to apply, such other business
day and market day definitions as are determined by the Issuer.
If the Notes of a series are to be consolidated with Other Securities (as
defined below) by reference to the same Interest Payment Date as a
redenomination of the Notes of such series into Euros or to an Interest Payment
Date following the Interest Payment Date by reference to which the Notes of such
series are redenominated in Euros, the provisions below concerning consolidation
of Notes shall apply with effect from the Consolidation Date (as defined below)
for such consolidation.
If a Note redenominated in accordance with this section is a Floating Rate
Security, the rate of interest that shall apply to such Note from, and
including, the Interest Payment Date falling on or immediately prior to the
Redenomination Date shall be (i) the interest rate which applied to such Note
prior to the redenomination, with "Euros" substituted for the Specified Currency
specified for such Note, unless such interest rate is inconsistent with the
then-existing or anticipated market practice for Euro-denominated Euromarket
debt obligations with floating rate interest payments of frequencies identical
or substantially similar to the frequency of interest payments hereunder and
held in international clearing systems, as determined by the Issuer, or (ii) if
such interest rate is so inconsistent, the interest rate which is consistent
with the then-existing or anticipated market practice for Euro-denominated
Euromarket debt obligations and held in international clearing systems, in each
case with such interest rate equal to the interest rate applicable hereto
(adjusted as aforesaid) plus or minus any spread indicated in the Pricing
Supplement for such Notes, as determined by the Issuer.
Unless and until the Notes of a series redenominated in accordance with the
provisions hereof are to be consolidated with Other Securities in accordance
with the provisions below concerning consolidation of Notes, the interest
accrual basis and the provisions of the Notes of such series relating to the
source and determination of such interest accrual basis that shall apply to such
Notes from, and including, the Interest Payment Date falling on or immediately
R-4
prior to the Redenomination Date shall be (i) the interest accrual basis and
such provisions which applied to such Notes prior to such redenomination, unless
such interest accrual basis is and/or such provisions are inconsistent with the
then-existing or anticipated market practice for Euro-denominated debt
obligations issued in the euromarkets with fixed rate or floating rate interest
payments (as the case may be) of frequencies identical or substantially similar
to the frequency of interest payments under such Notes, based, in the case of
floating interest rate payments, on the reference rate applicable to such Notes
prior to the Redenomination Date and held in international clearing systems as
determined by the Issuer or (ii) if the interest accrual basis which applied to
such Notes prior to the Redenomination Date is and/or such provisions are so
inconsistent, the interest accrual basis and/or the provisions of the Notes of
such series relating to the source and determination of such interest accrual
basis, as the case may be, which is consistent with the then-existing or
anticipated market practice for Euro-denominated debt obligations issued in the
euromarkets with fixed rate or floating rate interest payments (as the case may
be) of frequencies identical or substantially similar to the frequency of
interest payments under such Notes, based, in the case of floating interest rate
payments, on the reference rate applicable to such Notes (adjusted as aforesaid)
and held in international clearing systems as determined by the Issuer.
The Issuer may, with the consent of the Trustee, and without the need to
obtain the consent of the Holder of any Note, make any changes or additions to
the terms of the Notes of a series which (i) the Issuer or the Trustee believes
are necessary or appropriate to facilitate the implementation of the practical
aspects of this section as they relate to such Notes in the context of the
introduction of the Euro or (ii) correct any clear error or any ambiguity or
correct or supplement any defective provisions described herein and which
changes or additions the Issuer and the Trustee believe are not materially
prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Notes of such series. Any
such change or addition shall be binding on the Issuer, the Holders of the Notes
of such series, the Trustee, the Paying Agents and any other agent of the
Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly give notice of any such change or addition.

of a series is payable in any Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and
(ii) after the EMU Date, the Currency Country has become a Participating Member
State, then, subject to the provisions below, the Issuer may, without the

(each a "Consolidation Date"), and on the giving of not less than 30 days'
notice prior to the Interest Payment Date falling on or immediately prior to the
relevant Consolidation Date in accordance with the terms hereof (which notice
shall detail the manner in which consolidation shall be effected), consolidate
the Notes of such series with one or more series of Other Securities, provided,
however, (i) that such consolidation may only be carried out if the Notes of
such series and the Other Securities to be consolidated have been redenominated
in Euros on or before the Interest Payment Date falling on or immediately prior
to the relevant Consolidation Date (if not already so denominated), and (ii)
that no Event of Default under the Notes of such series or other event which,
with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would be an Event of
Default under the Notes of such series, or any similar event under the terms of
such Other Securities, has occurred and is continuing.
"Other Securities" means, at any time, any one or more series of other
Notes or other notes or bonds of the Issuer which (i) are issued pursuant to the

settled and/or redenomination into Euros and/or notices) and (ii) have been
designated by the Issuer as falling within clause (i) above and remain so
designated.
The Issuer may exercise its right referred to above if it determines that
the Notes of a series and Other Securities which it proposes to consolidate
(collectively, the "Consolidating Securities") will, with effect from the date
of their consolidation, (i) be cleared and settled on an interchangeable basis
with the same securities identification numbers through the main clearing
systems through which the Notes of such series and the relevant Other Securities
were cleared and settled immediately prior to consolidation unless on the date
of such proposed consolidation it will be impossible to so clear and settle the
Consolidating Securities in one or
R-6

need not so clear and settle through such unavailable clearing system(s) unless
it would be materially prejudicial to the Holders of the Notes of such series

Notes of such series or the relevant Other Securities were listed on any
European stock exchange on which debt obligations issued in the Euromarkets are
customarily listed immediately prior to the consolidation contemplated hereby,
be listed on at least one such exchange.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the definitions of Business Day
and Market Day that shall apply to a Note for payments on or in respect of such
Note following consolidation thereof shall be (A) business day and market day
definitions for fixed or floating rate (as applicable) Euro-denominated debt
obligations issued in the Euromarkets and held in international clearing systems
which are consistent with existing or anticipated market practice as determined
by the Issuer, or (B) the component business days included in the Business Day
and Market Day which applied to such Note and the business day and market day
definitions which applied to the relevant Other Securities for payments thereon
or in respect thereof prior to consolidation or (C) if the Issuer would be
unable to make payments on such Note on the date that payment is expressed to be
due if (B) above were to apply, such other business day and market day
definitions as are determined by the Issuer.

relating to the source and determination of such interest accrual basis that
shall apply to the Notes of such series consolidated in accordance with the
provisions hereof from, and including, the Interest Payment Date falling on or
immediately prior to the Consolidation Date shall remain the same if the Other
Securities which have been consolidated with such Notes had the same interest
accrual basis and the same such provisions prior to such consolidation as
applies to such Notes. If such Other Securities do not have such same interest
accrual basis and/or the same such provisions, then notwithstanding the
provisions above concerning redenomination of Notes, the interest accrual basis
and/or the provisions of the Notes of such series relating to the source and
determination of such interest accrual basis, as the case may be, that shall
apply to such Notes from, and including, the Interest Payment Date falling on or
immediately prior to such Consolidation Date shall be (i) the interest accrual
basis and/or such provisions which applied to such Notes prior to their
consolidation, unless such interest accrual basis is and/or such provisions are
inconsistent with the then-existing or anticipated market practice for Euro-
denominated debt obligations issued in the Euromarkets with fixed rate or
floating rate interest payments (as the case may be) of frequencies identical or
substantially similar to the frequency of interest payments thereunder and held
in international clearing systems, as determined by the Issuer, or (ii) if the
interest accrual basis which applied to such Notes prior to their consolidation
is and/or such provisions are so inconsistent, the interest accrual basis and/or
the provisions of the Notes of such series relating to the source and
determination of such interest accrual basis, as the case may be, which is
consistent with the then-existing or anticipated market practice for Euro-
denominated debt obligations issued in the Euromarkets with fixed rate or
floating rate interest payments (as the case may be) of frequencies identical or
substantially similar to the frequency of interest payments hereunder and held
in international clearing systems, as determined by the Issuer.
R-7
On a consolidation pursuant to the provisions hereof, the Issuer may
without the need to obtain the consent of Holders of the affected Notes, alter
the nominal amounts in which such Notes are denominated as a result of any
previous redenomination of such Notes.
Upon any consolidation of the Notes of a series represented by a Global
Note with any series of Other Securities so represented, the Issuer may change
the depositary(ies) which hold(s) the Notes of such series and/or the relevant
Other Securities either physically or on behalf of the clearing system(s)
through which the Notes of such series and/or the relevant Other Securities are
held and/or issue a replacement Global Note or Global Notes representing such
Notes. Notes of series represented by Certificated Notes must be exchanged for
Notes represented by a Global Note prior to any consolidation hereunder. If
such exchange is not possible pursuant to the terms of such Notes, no such
consolidation of such Notes with Other Securities represented by a Global Note
may take place.
The Issuer undertakes to the Holders of the Notes of a series consolidated
in accordance with the provisions hereof that, following a consolidation of the
Notes of such series with a series of Other Securities, it shall, in dealing
with the Holders of the Notes of such series, have regard to the interests of
such Holders and the Holders of the relevant Other Securities alike.
The Issuer may, with the consent of the Trustee, and without the need to
obtain the consent of the Holders of any Note, make any changes or additions to
the terms of the Notes of a series which (i) the Issuer or the Trustee believes
are necessary or appropriate to facilitate the implementation of the practical
aspects of this section as they relate to such Notes in the context of the
relevant consolidation or (ii) correct any manifest error or any ambiguity or
correct or supplement any defective provisions described herein, and which
changes or additions the Issuer and the Trustee believe are not materially
prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Notes of such series. Any
such change or addition shall be binding on the Issuer, the Holders of the Notes
of such series, the Trustee, the Paying Agents and any other agent of the
Issuer. Any such change or addition shall be considered to be made by operation
of the terms of the relevant Notes. The Issuer shall promptly give notice of
any such change or addition.
Except as provided in the Note or in the Pricing Supplement with respect to
the redenomination of the Notes of a series into Euros or the consolidation of a
series of Notes with other series of Notes upon or subsequent to such
conversion, the occurrence or non-occurrence of an EMU Event (as defined below)
or the entry into force of any law, regulation, directive or order requiring
redenomination or consolidation to be undertaken on terms different than those
described herein, will not have the effect of altering any term of, or
discharging or excusing performance under, the Indenture or Notes, nor give the
Issuer, the Trustee or the Holder of such Notes, the right unilaterally to alter
or terminate the Indenture or Notes or give rise to any Event of Default or
otherwise be the basis for any acceleration, early redemption, rescission,
notice, repudiation, adjustment or renegotiation of the terms of the Indenture
or Notes. The occurrence or non-occurrence of an EMU Event will be considered
to occur automatically pursuant to the terms of the Notes. For purposes hereof,
"EMU Event" means any event associated with EMU in the European Community,
including, without
R-8
limitation, each (and any combination) of (i) the fixing of exchange rates
between the currency of a Participating Member State and the Euro or between the
currencies of Participating Members States; (ii) the introduction of the Euro as
lawful currency in a Participating Member State; (iii) the withdrawal from legal
tender of any currency that, before the introduction of the Euro, was lawful
currency in any of the Participating Member States; or (iv) the disappearance or
replacement of a relevant rate option or other price source for the national
currency of any participating Member State, or the failure of the agreed sponsor
(or a successor sponsor) to publish or display a relevant rate, index, price,
page or screen.
If so specified on the face hereof, the Company may, at its option, redeem
this Note in whole, or from time to time in part in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Indenture, on the date or dates designated as the
Optional Redemption Date(s) on the face hereof, at the Redemption Price(s)
specified on the face hereof declining from a specified premium, if any, to par,
together with accrued interest to the Optional Redemption Date. The Company may
exercise such option by causing the Trustee or the Paying Agent to mail a notice
of such redemption at least 30 but not more than 60 days prior to the applicable
Optional Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only,
a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the
name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
If so specified on the face hereof, this Note will be repayable prior to
its Stated Maturity at the option of the Holder on the Optional Repayment
Date(s) shown on the face hereof at the Optional Repayment Price(s) shown on the
face hereof, together with accrued interest to the date of repayment. In order
for this Note to be repaid, the Paying Agent must receive at least 30 but not
more than 45 days prior to an Optional Repayment Date (i) this Note with the
form below entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed; or (ii) a
facsimile transmission or letter from a member of a national securities exchange
or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or
trust company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the
Holder of this Note, the principal amount of the Note to be repaid, the
certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of this Note, a
statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a
guarantee that this Note with the form below entitled "Option to Elect
Repayment" duly completed will be received by the Paying Agent not later than
five Business Days after the date of such facsimile transmission or letter. If
the procedure described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence is followed,
this Note with the form duly completed must be received by the Paying Agent by
such fifth Business Day. Any tender of this Note for repayment shall be
irrevocable. The repayment option may be exercised by the Holder of this Note
for less than the entire principal amount of the Note, provided that the
--------
principal amount of this Note remaining outstanding after repayment is an
authorized denomination. Upon such partial repayment, this Note shall be
canceled and a new Note or Notes for the remaining principal amount hereof shall
be issued in the name of the Holder of this Note.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund. Any such sinking fund shall be administered in
accordance with the terms specified on the face hereof and otherwise as set
forth in the Indenture.
R-9
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if this Note is an
Original Issue Discount Note, the amount payable in the event of redemption or
repayment prior to the Stated Maturity hereof, in lieu of the principal amount
due at the Stated Maturity hereof, shall be the Amortized Face Amount of this
Note as of the Optional Redemption Date or the Optional Repayment Date, as the
case may be. The "Amortized Face Amount" of this Note shall be the amount equal
to (a) the Issue Price (as set forth on the face hereof) plus (b) that portion
of the difference between the Issue Price and the principal amount hereof that
has accrued at the Yield to Stated Maturity (as set forth on the face hereof)
(computed in accordance with generally accepted United States bond yield
computation principles) at the date as of which the Amortized Face Amount is
calculated, but in no event shall the Amortized Face Amount of this Note, if it
is an Original Issue Discount Note, exceed its principal amount.
This Note will bear interest from its Original Issue Date to the first
Interest Reset Date (as defined below) at the Initial Interest Rate set forth on
the face hereof. Thereafter, the interest rate hereon for each Interest Reset
Period (as defined below) will be determined by reference to the Base Rate or
Rates specified on the face hereof, plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or
multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. The
Base Rates that may be specified on the face hereof are the CD Rate, the CMT
Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, the Treasury
Rate, the Prime Rate or any other Base Rate or formula specified on the face
hereof. "H.15(519)" means the publication entitled "Statistical Release
H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication, published by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. "Composite Quotations"
means the daily statistical release entitled "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for
U.S. Government Securities" published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
As specified on the face hereof, this Note may also have either or both of
the following (in each case expressed as a rate per annum on a simple interest
basis): (i) a maximum limitation, or ceiling, on the rate at which interest may
accrue during any interest period ("Maximum Interest Rate") and (ii) a minimum
limitation, or floor, on the rate at which interest may accrue during any
interest period ("Minimum Interest Rate"). In addition to any Maximum Interest
Rate that may be specified on the face hereof, the interest rate will in no
event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, as the same
may be modified by United States law of general application.
The interest rate hereon will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly,
semiannually or annually (such period being the "Interest Reset Period"
specified on the face hereof, and the first day of each Interest Reset Period
being an "Interest Reset Date"). Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
the Interest Reset Dates will be, if this Note resets daily, each Business Day;
if this Note (unless this Note is a Treasury Rate Note) resets weekly, Wednesday
of each week; if this Note is a Treasury Rate Note that resets weekly, Tuesday
of each week (except as provided below under "Determination of Treasury Rate");
if this Note resets monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; if this Note
resets quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of
each year; if this Note resets semiannually, the third Wednesday of each of the
two months of each year specified on the face hereof; and if this Note resets
annually, the third Wednesday of one month of each year specified on the
R-10
face hereof. If an 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 the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is
LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such
Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest payable hereon
on each Interest Payment Date shall be the accrued interest from and including
the Original Issue Date or the last date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, as the case may be, to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or
Maturity, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
accrued interest shall be calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof
by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor will be computed by
adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the period for which
accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise specified on the face
hereof, the interest factor (expressed as a decimal calculated to seven decimal
places without rounding) for each such day shall be computed by dividing the
interest rate in effect on such day by 360 if the Base Rate specified on the
face hereof is the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate,
LIBOR or the Prime Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year, if the
Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate.
For purposes of making the foregoing calculation, the interest rate in effect on
any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, all percentages resulting from
any calculation of the rate of interest hereof will be rounded, if necessary, to
the nearest 1/100,000 of 1% (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage
point rounded upward, and all currency amounts used in or resulting from such
calculation will be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a unit (with .005 of
a unit being rounded upward).
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof and except as provided below,
interest will be payable, if this Note resets daily, weekly or monthly, on the
third Wednesday of each month or on the third Wednesday of March, June,
September and December of each year, as specified on the face hereof; if this
Note resets quarterly, on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and
December of each year; if this Note resets semiannually, on the third Wednesday
of each of the two months of each year specified on the face hereof; and if this
Note resets annually, on the third Wednesday of one month of each year specified
on the face hereof (each such day being an "Interest Payment Date") and, in each
case, at Maturity. If an Interest Payment Date (other than at Maturity) would
otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date
shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that, if the Base
Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such Business Day would fall in
the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the
immediately preceding Business Day.
If the Maturity of this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the
required payment of principal, premium (if any) and/or interest will be made on
the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date such payment was due,
and no interest shall accrue on
R-11
such payment for the period from and after Maturity to the date of such payment
on the next succeeding Business Day.
The Company has appointed and entered into an agreement with an agent (a
"Calculation Agent") to calculate the interest rates on Floating Rate Notes.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, Bank One Trust Company, N.A.
shall be the Calculation Agent. At the request of the Holder hereof, the
Calculation Agent will provide to such Holder the interest rate then in effect,
and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective on the next
Interest Reset Date. All determinations of interest rates by the Calculation
Agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes
and binding on the Holder hereof.
Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as specified herein, on
each Interest Reset Date the rate of interest shall be the rate determined in
accordance with the provisions of the applicable heading below.
Determination of CD Rate
If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CD Rate, this Note
will bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate
calculated with reference to the CD Rate and any Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. The "CD Rate" for each
Interest Reset Period shall be:
(1) the rate as of the second Business Day prior to the Interest Reset
Date for such Interest Reset Period (a "CD Rate Determination Date") for
negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under the caption
"CDs (secondary market)", or
(2) if the rate referred to in clause (1) is not so published by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date (as defined below)
pertaining to such CD Rate Determination Date, then the "CD Rate" for such
Interest Reset Period will be the rate on such CD Rate Determination Date
for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the
particular Index Maturity as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other
recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the
applicable rate, under the caption "CDs (secondary market)", or
(3) if the rate referred to in clause (2) is not so published by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the "CD Rate" for
such Interest Reset Period will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as
the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on such CD Rate Determination Date, of three leading
nonbank dealers in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in The
City of New York (which may include the agents or their affiliates)
selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates
of deposit of major United States money market banks (in the market for
negotiable U.S. certificates of deposit) with a remaining maturity closest

Determination Date, or if none, the initial Interest Rate.
The "Calculation Date" pertaining to any CD Rate Determination Date shall
be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such CD Rate Determination
Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day or (ii) the
Business Day immediately before the applicable Interest Payment Date or
Maturity, as the case may be.
Determination of Commercial Paper Rate
If the Base Rate shown on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate,
this Note will bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate
calculated with reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and any Spread and/or
Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. The "Commercial Paper
Rate" for each Interest Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent
as:
(1) of the second Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date for
such Interest Reset Period (a "Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date")
and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined below) on such Commercial
Paper Rate Determination Date of the rate for commercial paper having the
Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519)
under the caption "Commercial Paper--Nonfinancial", or

hereof as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized
electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate,
under the caption "Commercial Paper--Nonfinancial", or
(3) if the rate referred to in clause (2) is not so published by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the "Commercial
Paper Rate" for such Interest Reset Period shall be the Money Market Yield
of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York City
time, on such Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date of three leading
dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York (which may
include the agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent
for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof
placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is "AA", or the
equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization,
or
R-13
(4) if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not
quoting offered rates as mentioned in clause (3), the "Commercial Paper
Rate" for such Interest Reset Period will be the Commercial Paper Rate in
effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Determination Date, or if none, the
Initial Interest Rate.
"Money Market Yield" shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the
following formula:
Money Market Yield = D x 360 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 period for which accrued interest is being calculated.
The "Calculation Date" pertaining to any Commercial Paper Rate

on the Calculation Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Federal Funds
Rate Determination Date, the "Federal Funds Rate" for such Interest Reset
Period shall be the rate on such Federal Funds Rate Determination Date for
United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15 Daily Update, or
such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying
the applicable rate, under the caption "Federal Funds (Effective)", or

Determination of LIBOR
If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, this Note will bear
interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate calculated with

Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of such quotations, or
(4) if fewer than two quotations referred to in clause (3) are
provided, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Determination Date will be
calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates
quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. in the applicable Principal Financial

quoting as mentioned in clause (6), the Treasury Rate in effect on such
Treasury Rate Determination Date, or if none, the Initial Interest Rate.
The "Treasury Rate Determination Date" for each Interest Reset Period will
be the day of the week in which the Interest Reset Date for such Interest Reset
Period falls on which Treasury Bills would normally be auctioned. Treasury
Bills are normally sold at auction 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. If, as
the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday,
such Friday will be the Treasury Rate Determination Date pertaining to the
Interest Reset Period commencing in the next succeeding week. If an auction
date shall fall on any day that would otherwise be an Interest Reset Date for a
Note whose Base Rate is the Treasury Rate, then such Interest Reset Date shall

If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Prime Rate, this Note
will bear interest for each Interest Reset Period at the interest rate
calculated with reference to the Prime Rate and the Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. The "Prime Rate" for each
Interest Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent as:
(1) of the second Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date for
such Interest Reset Period (a "Prime Rate Determination Date") and shall be
the rate published in H.15(519) under the caption "Bank Prime Loan", or
(2) if the rate referred to in clause (1) is not so published by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date (as defined below), then

Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "CMT Rate" for each
Interest Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be

Day prior to the Interest Reset Date for such Interest Reset Period (a "CMT
Determination Date") is specified hereof:

Maturities", as the yield is displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any
successor service) on page 7051 (or any other page as may replace the

Determination Date, or

rate on such CMT Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as
a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market
