COUNTYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay              , or registered assigns, the principal sum of                   ($                  ) on June 15, 2027 (the “Stated Maturity”; unless a Maturity Advancement (as hereinafter defined) occurs as a result of a Tax Event, in which case the Stated Maturity shall be such advanced maturity date), and to pay interest on said principal from                 , 199 or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest on this Security (or the 8.05% Junior Subordinated Debentures due June 15, 1987, Series A, in exchange for which this Security was issued) has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually (subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 15, 1997, at a rate of 8.05% per annum until the principal hereof shall have been paid or made available for payment, and on any overdue principal and (without duplication and to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum compounded semi-annually.  In the event that a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, additional interest (“Additional Interest”) shall become payable in respect of this Security with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default, in an amount equal to $.05 per week per $1,000 liquidation amount of this Security for each week or portion thereof that the Registration Default continues, as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.  Additional Interest will increase by an additional $.05 per week per $1,000 liquidation amount of this Security with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of Additional Interest of $.25 per week




per $1,000 liquidation amount of this Security. The amount of interest payable for any semi-annual interest period will be computed for any full 180-day semi-annual interest payment period, on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full 180-day semi-annual interest payment period for which interest payments are computed, will be computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in such 180-day period (assuming each full month elapsed in such period consists of 30 days).  In the event that any date on which interest is payable on this Security is not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), then a payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any additional interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was originally payable; provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after the date such payment was originally payable.  A “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or Los Angeles, California are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or the principal corporate trust office of the Property Trustee under the Declaration, is closed for business.  The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name the Securities (or one or more Predecessor Securities, as defined in the Indenture) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment, which shall be determined as provided in the Indenture.  Any such interest installment not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name the Securities or one or more Predecessor Securities is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right at any time during the term of this Security, from time to time, to defer payment of interest on such Security for a period not to exceed 10 semi-annual periods, (an “Extension period”), provided, that no Extension Period may extend past the Stated Maturity of this Security.  There may be multiple Extension Periods of varying lengths during the term of this Security.  At the end of any Extension Period, if any, the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid, together with interest thereon, compounded semi-annually at the rate specified on this Security to the extent permitted by applicable law.  During any such Extension Period, the Company and the Guarantor shall not, declare or pay any dividends on, or make a distribution with respect to, or redeem, purchase or acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock or rights to acquire such capital stock (other than (i) purchases or acquisitions of shares of any such capital stock or rights to acquire such capital stock in connection with the satisfaction by the Company or the Guarantor, respectively, of its obligations under any employee benefit plans, (ii) as a result of a reclassification of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s capital stock or rights to acquire such capital stock or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s capital stock or rights to acquire such capital stock for another class or series of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s capital stock or rights to acquire such capital stock, (iii) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the




Company’s or the Guarantor’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged or (iv) dividends and distributions made on the Company’s or the Guarantor’s capital stock or rights to acquire such capital stock with the Company’s or the Guarantor’s capital stock or rights to acquire such capital stock) or make any guarantee payments with respect to any of the foregoing and (b) the Company and the Guarantor shall not make any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities (including any guarantees, other than the Guarantees) issued by the Company or the Guarantor that rank pari passu with or junior to this Security and the Debt Guarantee.  Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further extend the Extension Period, provided that no Extension Period may exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual periods or extend beyond the Stated Maturity of this Security.  Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period subject to the above requirements.  No interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end thereof.  The Company shall give the Guarantor, the Property Trustee, the Regular Trustees and the Trustee written notice of its election of such Extension Period not less than one Business Day prior to the record date for the applicable Interest Payment Date.

Payment of the principal of and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose in the United States, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto.  Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such  purposes.  Each Holder hereof, by his acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of the Indenture summarized on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[Form of Reverse of Security]

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (the “Company”), designated as its 8.05% Junior Subordinated Debentures due June 15, 2027, Series B (herein called the “Securities”), limited in aggregate principal amount to $206,200,000 issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 4, 1997 (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

For so long as the Trust is the Holder of all the Securities Outstanding, the proceeds of any redemption described herein shall be used by the Trust to redeem Common Securities and Capital Securities in accordance with their terms.




 

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to the holder of this Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on said Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to therein.

The Guarantor agrees to determine, at least one Business Day prior to the date upon which a payment of principal of and premium, if any, or interest on said Security is due and payable, whether the Company has available the fund to make such payment as the same shall become due and payable.  In case of the failure of the Company punctually to pay any such principal, premium, if any, or interest, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption, or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligation hereunder shall be unconditional, irrevocable, and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity, or enforceability of said Security or said Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Holder of said Security with respect to any provisions thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.  The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to said Security or indebtedness evidenced thereby, and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in said Security and in this Guarantee.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the holder of said Security against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not, without the consent of the holders of all the Securities then outstanding, be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation until the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all Securities shall have been paid in full or payment thereof shall have been provided for in accordance with said Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if following any payment of principal or interest by the Company on the Securities to the holders of the Securities it is determined by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction that such payment shall be avoided by a trustee in bankruptcy (including any debtor-in-possession) as a preference under 11 U.S.C. Section 547 and such payment is paid by such holder of such trustee in bankruptcy, then and to the extent of such repayment, the obligation of the Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect.

This Guarantee shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose with respect to a Security until the certification of authentication on such Security shall have been signed by the Trustee (or the Authentication Agent).

This Guarantee shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof.
