Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or,

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 holder of this Note at the office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent

of this Note) or at the office or agency of such other paying agents outside the
United States as the Issuer may determine for that purpose (each, a "Paying
Agent," which term shall include the Principal Paying Agent).
Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due
at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Principal

States furnished by the payee or, at the option of the payee and subject to
applicable laws and regulations and the procedures of the Paying Agent, by wire

instructions have been received by the Paying Agent not less than 15 calendar
days prior to the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that payment in U.S. dollars of the full amount payable on this Note at
the offices of all Paying Agents would be illegal or effectively precluded as a

be made by a paying agency in the United States, if such paying agency, under
applicable law and regulations, would be able to make such payment. If this Note
is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, except as
provided on the reverse hereof, payment of the principal of and premium, if any,
and interest on this Note will be made in such Specified Currency either by a
check drawn on a bank outside the United States or, at the option of the payee
and subject to applicable laws and regulations and the procedures of the Paying
Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained
by the payee with a bank located outside the United States.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global
Medium-Term Notes, Series [D/E], having maturities more than nine months from
the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under an
Amended and Restated Senior Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1999, between the
Issuer and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term
includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture) (as may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, the "Senior Indenture"), to which Senior
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities
of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the
Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed
The Chase Manhattan Bank, London Branch, as its principal paying agent for the
Notes (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or
successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of
individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate
formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the
Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the
Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents
that it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom
Banking Act 1987) nor a European authorized institution as defined by Regulation
3 of the Banking Co-ordination (Second Council Directive) Regulations 1992 and
repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this
Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under
the listing rules of the London Stock Exchange Limited (the "Rules") and that,
since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about it,
it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any change in
circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and adversely
affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes as they
fall due.
Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof
in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as
set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of
the holder prior to maturity.
If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole
or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together
with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as
indicated below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage
Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will
be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the
redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together
with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as
provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders of the
Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses with
the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice
5
Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and
provisions of the Senior Indenture. Notice of redemption to all others holders
of Notes shall be given in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below,
and, if by publication, shall be given once in each of the three successive
calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the date set for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period
specified on the face hereof. In the event of redemption of this Note in part
only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of this Note so redeemed, whereupon the principal
amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so redeemed and
noted.
If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to
repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional
Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of
$1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that
any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest
accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below).
For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal
Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more than
30 days prior to the date of repayment, this Note with the form entitled "Option
to Elect Repayment" below duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or a 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, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the
principal amount of the 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 and a guarantee
that this Note to be repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled
Option to Elect Repayment, will be received by the principal paying agent not
later than the fifth Business Day (as defined below) after the date of that
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter. However, the telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and an
Option to Elect Repayment form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent
by the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof
shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, the
Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to
reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of this Note so repaid, whereupon the principal
amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so repaid and
noted.
Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but
excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier
redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified on
the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or
any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of
interest, premium, if any, or principal
6
otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on
the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on
the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or
repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period
from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption
or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day.
This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct,
unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority
among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory
exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.
This Note is issued in permanent global bearer form without interest
coupons attached (a "Global Bearer Note"). The beneficial owner of all or a
portion of this Note may exchange its interest in this Note upon not less than
30 days' written notice to the Principal Paying Agent through the relevant
clearing system, in whole, for Notes in bearer form with interest coupons, if
any, attached (the "Definitive Bearer Notes," and, together with the Global
Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or, if so indicated on the face of this Note,
at the beneficial owner's option, in whole or from time to time in part, for
Notes in fully registered form without coupons (the "Registered Notes"), in each
case, in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in
excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified
Currency set forth on the face hereof. Interests in this Note shall also be
exchanged by the Issuer in whole, but not in part, for Definitive Bearer Notes,
which shall be serially numbered, with coupons, if any, attached (or, if
indicated on the face of this Note, at the beneficial owner's option, for
Registered Notes), of any authorized denominations if (i) this Note is
accelerated following an Event of Default or (ii) either Euroclear or Cedelbank
or any other relevant clearing system is closed for business for a continuous
period of fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or announces
an intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. The Issuer shall
give notice to the Principal Paying Agent promptly following any such
acceleration or upon learning of any such closure. Any exchanges referred to
above shall be made at the office of the Principal Paying Agent, or, in the case
of Registered Notes, at the office of the transfer agent for the Registered
Notes in London, which transfer agent will initially be The Chase Manhattan
Bank, London Branch, upon compliance with any procedures set forth in, or
established pursuant to, the Senior Indenture; provided, however, that the
Issuer shall not be required (i) to exchange this Note for a period of fifteen
calendar days preceding the first publication or other transmission, if
applicable, of a notice of redemption of all or any portion hereof or (ii) to
exchange any portion of this Note selected for redemption or surrendered for
optional repayment, except that such portion of this Note may be exchanged for a
Registered Note of like tenor; provided that such Registered Note shall be
simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be; and
provided, further, that if a Registered Note is issued in exchange for any
portion of this Note after the close of business at the office of the Principal
Paying Agent on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment
of interest on such Registered Note and before the opening of business at such
office on the relevant Interest Payment Date, any interest will not be payable
on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such Registered Note, but will be
payable on such Interest Payment Date only to the holder of this Note. Upon
exchange of this Note in whole for a Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive
7
Bearer Notes, or in whole or in part for a Registered Note or Registered Notes,
the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to
reflect the reduction of the principal amount hereof by an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer
Notes, or such Registered Note or Registered Notes, whereupon the principal
amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and
noted. All such exchanges of Notes will be free of service charge, but the
Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The date of any Note
delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or loss of
interest results from such exchange.
All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged
for Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
following two sentences as soon as practicable after (i) the first beneficial
owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive Bearer
Note, (ii) the Issuer gives notice to the Principal Paying Agent of an
acceleration of the Note or (iii) either Euroclear or Cedelbank or any other
relevant clearing system is closed for business for a continuous period of
fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or announces an
intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. In the event of any
exchange of interests in this Note for a Definitive Bearer Note, a common
depositary located outside the United States (the "common depositary") holding
this Note for Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as
operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator"), Cedelbank, and/or
any other relevant clearing system (including Societe Interprofessionelle pour
la Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres ("SICOVAM")) shall instruct the Principal
Paying Agent regarding the aggregate principal amount of Definitive Bearer Notes
and the denominations of such Definitive Bearer Notes that must be authenticated
and delivered to each relevant clearing system in exchange for this Note.
Thereafter, the Principal Paying Agent, acting solely in reliance on such
instructions, shall, upon surrender to it of this Note and subject to the
conditions in the preceding paragraph, authenticate and deliver Definitive
Bearer Notes in exchange for this Note in accordance with such instructions and
shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of
its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
this Note. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the further exchange of
Definitive Bearer Notes into Registered Notes.
This Note may be transferred by delivery; provided, however, that this
Note may be transferred only to a common depositary outside the United States
for the Euroclear Operator, Cedelbank and/or any other relevant clearing system
or to a nominee of such a depositary.
In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be
destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or
destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and
such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be
delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of
like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost
or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon
receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and
reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the
preparation, authentication and
8
delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated,
defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.
If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified
Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," then (i) if the principal hereof is
declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the
amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited
to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue
Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate
principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest
Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated
using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the
purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture
prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof
shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set
forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on
the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of
securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the
acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal
the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as
set forth in clause (i) above.
This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at
any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as
described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except
that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or
Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal
amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face
hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the
original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of
redemption, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method"
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect
on the date of redemption) (the "Amortized Amount")), if the Issuer determines
that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations
or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any
change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such
laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or
after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to
pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to this Note as described
below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this
paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating
that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a
statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the
Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts;
provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days
prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such
Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.
9
Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice
Period specified on face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price
will be specified in the Notice.
If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United
States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due
in respect of this Note would, under any present or future laws or regulations
of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other
information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the
disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the
nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note who is a
United States Alien (as defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that
would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i)
directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent
of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee
or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United
States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b)
payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not
otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note,
as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof
(except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or
Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal
amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face
hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the
Amortized Amount), together with accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption, or, at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next
succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such
paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon as
practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish (or
transmit, as applicable) prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice")
stating the effective date of such certification, identification or other
information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or
has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding
paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this
Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Issuer
redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than
one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall
elect by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof.
Notice of such redemption of this Note will be given to the holder of this Note
not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or
within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof. Such
redemption notice shall include a statement as to the last date by which this
Note to be redeemed may be exchanged for Registered Notes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall
subsequently determine, not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption or prior to the last day of the Redemption Notice Period specified on
the face hereof, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such
certification, identification or other information reporting requirement, in
which case the Issuer shall publish (or transmit, if applicable) prompt notice
of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of
no further effect. The right of the holder of this Note to exchange this Note
for Registered Notes pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph will terminate
at the close of business of the Principal Paying Agent on the fifteenth
10
day prior to the date fixed for redemption, and no further exchanges of this
Note for Registered Notes shall be permitted.
If and so long as the certification, identification or other
information reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would
be fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the
Issuer may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay as additional amounts such
amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United
States following the effective date of such requirements by the Issuer or any
Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note of
which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement
that the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be
disclosed to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with
respect to the payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or
withholding for or on account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge
(other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be
applicable in the circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause
of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result
of presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 days after the date on
which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly
provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided
for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer elects to
pay any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the
right to redeem this Note as a whole at any time pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and the redemption price of
this Note will not be reduced for applicable withholding taxes. If the Issuer
elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the condition
specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied,
then the Issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph.
The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set
forth below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the
holder of this Note who is a United States Alien as may be necessary in order
that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any
other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any
present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a
result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided
for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be
required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on
account of:
(a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that
would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present
or former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary,
settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such
holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the
United States and its possessions, including, without limitation, such
holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder)
being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having
been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or
having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation
by the holder of this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days
after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date
on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;
11
(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal
property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;
(c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by
reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding
company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign
corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the
United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid
United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other
tax-exempt organization;
(d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of
this Note;
(e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to
be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or
interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such
withholding by any other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe;
(f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification,
information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality,
residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note,
if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the
United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such
tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
(g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by
reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or
constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or
indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or
(h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g);
nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note to
a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole
beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by
the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be
included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with
respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner
who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary,
settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note.
The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as
defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the
Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of
which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or
12
breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt
securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities
issued under the Senior Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing,
either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then
declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest
accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of
Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or
agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt
securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing,
either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated
as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and
interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain
conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived
(except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or
interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal
amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.
The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the
consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then
outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental
indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the
holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may
not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security
affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or
reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or
repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend
the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify
or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for
securities of the Issuer or other entities (other than as provided in the
antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt
securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or impair or
affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof
without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b)
reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the
consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.
Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making
payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions within the international banking community,
then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of
this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market
Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market
Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable
date provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified
Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable
law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of
principal of,
13
premium, if any, or interest on, any Note denominated in such Specified Currency
in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable
measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the
European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so
amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S.
dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified
Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate
is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular
Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent (as
defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second
Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign
exchange dealers (the "Exchange Dealers") for the purchase by the quoting
Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the
payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those
holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange
Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing
quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an
affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange
Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.
The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. International
Limited, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.
All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the
Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's
sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for
all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons.
So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be
maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided. If this Note is listed on
the London Stock Exchange Limited and such Exchange so requires, the Issuer
shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may designate other agencies
for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places
outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the
Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall
keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are
so designated.
With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or
any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any,
on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal,
interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or
upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the
Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the
Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the
Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in
any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or
interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due.
14
No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place,
and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed
between the Issuer and the holder of this Note.
The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may
treat the holder of this Note as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or
not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or the interest on this Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any
indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer
or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation,
whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being,
by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof,
expressly waived and released.
This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
As used herein:

or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which

option of the Issuer, through the customary notice provisions of the
clearing system or systems through which beneficial interests in this
Note are owned. Such Notices will be deemed to have been given on the
15
date of such publication (or other transmission, as applicable) or, if
published in such newspapers on different dates, on the date of the
first such publication;

Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to
the holder of this Note at the office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent
(this and certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined on the reverse
of this Note) or at the office or agency of such other paying agents outside the
United States as the Issuer may determine for that purpose (each, a "Paying
Agent," which term shall include the Principal Paying Agent).
Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due
at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Principal

instructions have been received by the Paying Agent not less than 15 calendar

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global
Medium-Term Notes, Series [D/E], having maturities more than nine months from
the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under an
Amended and Restated Senior Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1999, between the
Issuer and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term
includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture) (as may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, the "Senior Indenture"), to which Senior
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities
of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the
Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed
The Chase Manhattan Bank, London Branch, as its principal paying agent for the
Notes (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or
successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of
individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate
formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the
Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the
Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents
that it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom
Banking Act 1987) nor a European authorized institution as defined by Regulation
3 of the Banking Co-ordination (Second Council Directive) Regulations 1992 and
repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this
Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under
the listing rules of the London Stock Exchange Limited (the "Rules") and that,
since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about it,
it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any change in
circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and adversely
affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes as they
fall due.
Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof
in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as
set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of
the holder prior to maturity.
If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole
or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together
with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as
indicated below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage
Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will
be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the
redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together
with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as
provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders of the
Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses with
the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice
5
Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and
provisions of the Senior Indenture. Notice of redemption to all others holders
of Notes shall be given in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below,
and, if by publication, shall be given once in each of the three successive
calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the date set for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period
specified on the face hereof. In the event of redemption of this Note in part
only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of this Note so redeemed, whereupon the principal
amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so redeemed and
noted.
If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to
repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional
Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of
$1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that
any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest
accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below).
For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal
Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more than
30 days prior to the date of repayment, this Note with the form entitled "Option
to Elect Repayment" below duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or a 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, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the
principal amount of the 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 and a guarantee
that this Note to be repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled
Option to Elect Repayment, will be received by the principal paying agent not
later than the fifth Business Day (as defined below) after the date of that
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter. However, the telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and an
Option to Elect Repayment form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent
by the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof
shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, the
Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to
reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of this Note so repaid, whereupon the principal
amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so repaid and
noted.
Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but
excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier
redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified on
the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or
any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of
interest, premium, if any, or principal
6
otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on
the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on
the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or
repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period
from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption
or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day.
This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct,
unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority
among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory
exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.
This Note is issued in permanent global bearer form without interest
coupons attached (a "Global Bearer Note"). The beneficial owner of all or a
portion of this Note may exchange its interest in this Note upon not less than
30 days' written notice to the Principal Paying Agent through the relevant
clearing system, in whole, for Notes in bearer form with interest coupons, if
any, attached (the "Definitive Bearer Notes," and, together with the Global
Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or, if so indicated on the face of this Note,
at the beneficial owner's option, in whole or from time to time in part, for
Notes in fully registered form without coupons (the "Registered Notes"), in each
case, in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in
excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified
Currency set forth on the face hereof. Interests in this Note shall also be
exchanged by the Issuer in whole, but not in part, for Definitive Bearer Notes,
which shall be serially numbered, with coupons, if any, attached (or, if
indicated on the face of this Note, at the beneficial owner's option, for
Registered Notes), of any authorized denominations if (i) this Note is
accelerated following an Event of Default or (ii) either Euroclear or Cedelbank
or any other relevant clearing system is closed for business for a continuous
period of fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or announces
an intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. The Issuer shall
give notice to the Principal Paying Agent promptly following any such
acceleration or upon learning of any such closure. Any exchanges referred to
above shall be made at the office of the Principal Paying Agent, or, in the case
of Registered Notes, at the office of the transfer agent for the Registered
Notes in London, which transfer agent will initially be The Chase Manhattan
Bank, London Branch, upon compliance with any procedures set forth in, or
established pursuant to, the Senior Indenture; provided, however, that the
Issuer shall not be required (i) to exchange this Note for a period of fifteen
calendar days preceding the first publication or other transmission, if
applicable, of a notice of redemption of all or any portion hereof or (ii) to
exchange any portion of this Note selected for redemption or surrendered for
optional repayment, except that such portion of this Note may be exchanged for a
Registered Note of like tenor; provided that such Registered Note shall be
simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be; and
provided, further, that if a Registered Note is issued in exchange for any
portion of this Note after the close of business at the office of the Principal
Paying Agent on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment
of interest on such Registered Note and before the opening of business at such
office on the relevant Interest Payment Date, any interest will not be payable
on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such Registered Note, but will be
payable on such Interest Payment Date only to the holder of this Note. Upon
exchange of this Note in whole for a Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive
7
Bearer Notes, or in whole or in part for a Registered Note or Registered Notes,
the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to
reflect the reduction of the principal amount hereof by an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer
Notes, or such Registered Note or Registered Notes, whereupon the principal
amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and
noted. All such exchanges of Notes will be free of service charge, but the
Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The date of any Note
delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or loss of
interest results from such exchange.
All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged
for Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
following two sentences as soon as practicable after (i) the first beneficial
owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive Bearer
Note, (ii) the Issuer gives notice to the Principal Paying Agent of an
acceleration of the Note or (iii) either Euroclear or Cedelbank or any other
relevant clearing system is closed for business for a continuous period of
fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or announces an
intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. In the event of any
exchange of interests in this Note for a Definitive Bearer Note, a common
depositary located outside the United States (the "common depositary") holding
this Note for Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as
operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator"), Cedelbank, and/or
any other relevant clearing system (including Societe Interprofessionelle pour
la Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres ("SICOVAM")) shall instruct the Principal
Paying Agent regarding the aggregate principal amount of Definitive Bearer Notes
and the denominations of such Definitive Bearer Notes that must be authenticated
and delivered to each relevant clearing system in exchange for this Note.
Thereafter, the Principal Paying Agent, acting solely in reliance on such
instructions, shall, upon surrender to it of this Note and subject to the
conditions in the preceding paragraph, authenticate and deliver Definitive
Bearer Notes in exchange for this Note in accordance with such instructions and
shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of
its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
this Note. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the further exchange of
Definitive Bearer Notes into Registered Notes.
This Note may be transferred by delivery; provided, however, that this
Note may be transferred only to a common depositary outside the United States
for the Euroclear Operator, Cedelbank and/or any other relevant clearing system
or to a nominee of such a depositary.
In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be
destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or
destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and
such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be
delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of
like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost
or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon
receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and
reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the
preparation, authentication and
8
delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated,
defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.
If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified
Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," then (i) if the principal hereof is
declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the
amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited
to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue
Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate
principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest
Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated
using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the
purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture
prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof
shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set
forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on
the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of
securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the
acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal
the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as
set forth in clause (i) above.
This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at
any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as
described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except
that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or
Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal
amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face
hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the
original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of
redemption, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method"
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect
on the date of redemption) (the "Amortized Amount")), if the Issuer determines
that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations
or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any
change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such
laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or
after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to
pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to this Note as described
below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this
paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating
that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a
statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the
Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel
satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts;
provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days
prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such
Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due.
9
Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice
Period specified on face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price
will be specified in the Notice.
If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United
States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due
in respect of this Note would, under any present or future laws or regulations
of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other
information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the
disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the
nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note who is a
United States Alien (as defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that
would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i)
directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent
of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee
or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United
States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b)
payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not
otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note,
as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof
(except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or
Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal
amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face
hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the
Amortized Amount), together with accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption, or, at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next
succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such
paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon as
practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish (or
transmit, as applicable) prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice")
stating the effective date of such certification, identification or other
information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or
has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding
paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this
Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Issuer
redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than
one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall
elect by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof.
Notice of such redemption of this Note will be given to the holder of this Note
not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or
within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof. Such
redemption notice shall include a statement as to the last date by which this
Note to be redeemed may be exchanged for Registered Notes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall
subsequently determine, not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption or prior to the last day of the Redemption Notice Period specified on
the face hereof, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such
certification, identification or other information reporting requirement, in
which case the Issuer shall publish (or transmit, if applicable) prompt notice
of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of
no further effect. The right of the holder of this Note to exchange this Note
for Registered Notes pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph will terminate
at the close of business of the Principal Paying Agent on the fifteenth
10
day prior to the date fixed for redemption, and no further exchanges of this
Note for Registered Notes shall be permitted.
If and so long as the certification, identification or other
information reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would
be fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the
Issuer may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay as additional amounts such
amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United
States following the effective date of such requirements by the Issuer or any
Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note of
which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement
that the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be
disclosed to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with
respect to the payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or
withholding for or on account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge
(other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be
applicable in the circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause
of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result
of presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 days after the date on
which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly
provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided
for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer elects to
pay any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the
right to redeem this Note as a whole at any time pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and the redemption price of
this Note will not be reduced for applicable withholding taxes. If the Issuer
elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the condition
specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied,
then the Issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph.
The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set
forth below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the
holder of this Note who is a United States Alien as may be necessary in order
that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any
other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any
present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a
result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided
for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be
required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on
account of:
(a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that
would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present
or former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary,
settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such
holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the
United States and its possessions, including, without limitation, such
holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder)
being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having
been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or
having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation
by the holder of this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days
after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date
on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;
11
(b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal
property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;
(c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by
reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding
company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign
corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the
United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid
United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other
tax-exempt organization;
(d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of
this Note;
(e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to
be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or
interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such
withholding by any other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe;
(f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification,
information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality,
residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note,
if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the
United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such
tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
(g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by
reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or
constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or
indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or
(h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g);
nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note to
a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole
beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by
the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be
included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with
respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner
who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary,
settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note.
The Senior Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as
defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the
Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of
which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or
12
breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt
securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities
issued under the Senior Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing,
either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then
declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest
accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of
Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or
agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt
securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing,
either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated
as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and
interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain
conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived
(except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or
interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal
amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding.
The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the
consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then
outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental
indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the
holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may
not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security
affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or
reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or
repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend
the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify
or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for
securities of the Issuer or other entities (other than as provided in the
antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt
securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or impair or
affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof
without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b)
reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the
consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.
Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making
payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions within the international banking community,
then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of
this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market
Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market
Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable
date provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified
Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable
law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of
principal of,
13
premium, if any, or interest on, any Note denominated in such Specified Currency
in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable
measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the
European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so
amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S.
dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified
Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate
is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular
Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid
quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent (as
defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second
Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign
exchange dealers (the "Exchange Dealers") for the purchase by the quoting
Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the
payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those
holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange
Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing
quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an
affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange
Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.
The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. International
Limited, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.
All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the
Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's
sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for
all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons.
So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be
maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided. If this Note is listed on
the London Stock Exchange Limited and such Exchange so requires, the Issuer
shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may designate other agencies
for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places
outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the
Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall
keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are
so designated.
With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or
any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any,
on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal,
interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or
upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the
Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the
Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the
Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in
any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or
interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due.
14
No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place,
and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed
between the Issuer and the holder of this Note.
The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may
treat the holder of this Note as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or
not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or the interest on this Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any
indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer
or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation,
whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being,
by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof,
expressly waived and released.
This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

clearing system or systems through which beneficial interests in this
Note are owned. Such Notices will be deemed to have been given on the
