Reverse of Security

This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as Buffered Return Enhanced Notes with Partial Protection Linked to a Basket of Global Indices Due December 5, 2011 (herein called the “Securities”). The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Securities, create and issue additional securities ranking equally with the Securities and otherwise similar in all respects so that such additional securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities; provided that no additional securities can be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Securities. This series of Securities is one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the Company, issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as of September 1, 1987, as amended (herein called the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Company and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities.

The Payment at Maturity at the request of the Trustee shall be determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the Calculation Agency Agreement. The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the Calculation Agent of the Payment at Maturity and shall have no duty to make any such determination. The Calculation Agent will provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, of the Payment at Maturity on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date.

All calculations with respect to the Basket Ending Level and the Basket Return will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., .876545 would be rounded to .87655); all dollar amounts related to determination of the payment per $1,000 principal amount Security at maturity will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate principal amount of Securities per Holder will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

This Security is not subject to any sinking fund.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall occur and be continuing, the amounts payable on all of the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration permitted under the Indenture will be equal to the Payment at Maturity calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Maturity Date and the third Business Day immediately preceding the date of acceleration were the Valuation Date. If the maturity of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to, provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to The Depository Trust Company of the cash amount due with respect to the Securities as promptly as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of acceleration.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66 ²/3% in aggregate principal amount of each series of Securities at the time Outstanding to be affected (each series voting as a class), evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities of all such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) change the fixed maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, if any, or reduce any premium payable on redemption, or make the principal thereof, or premium, if any, or interest thereon, if any, payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove provided, without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) change the place of payment on any Security, or impair the right to institute suit for payment on any Security, or reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security so affected. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of any series of Securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series Outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of interest, if any, or the principal of, or premium, if any, on any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future holders and owners of this Security and any Securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities.

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 Payment at Maturity with respect to this Security.

The Securities are issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any whole multiples of $1,000.

The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may deem and treat the registered holder (the “Holder”) hereof as the absolute owner of this Security (whether or not this Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, and for all other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for moneys payable on this Security.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented

2

thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company 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.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or agency in a Place of Payment for this Security, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series or of like tenor and of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Company agrees, and by acceptance of a beneficial ownership interest in the Securities, each Holder will be deemed to have agreed, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) to treat the Securities as indebtedness that is subject to Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.1275-4 (the “Contingent Payment Regulations”) and (ii) to be bound by the Company’s determination of the “comparable yield” and “projected payment schedule,” within the meaning of the Contingent Payment Regulations, with respect to the Securities. The Company has determined that the comparable yield is an annual rate of 5.169%, compounded semi-annually. Based on the comparable yield, the projected payment schedule per $1,000 principal amount Security is $1,226.46 due at maturity.

THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

All terms used but not defined in this Security are used herein as defined in the Calculation Agency Agreement or the Indenture.

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine, among other things, the Basket Ending Level (including each Basket Index Return and each Basket Index Ending Level), the Basket Return and the Payment at Maturity on the Securities. In addition, the Calculation Agent will determine whether there has been a Market Disruption Event or a discontinuation of any Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Index) and whether there has been a material change in the method of calculating any of the Basket Indices. All calculations, determinations and adjustments made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Holders and on the Company. The Company may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time after the date of the original issue of the Securities without Holders’ consent and without notifying Holders.

Discontinuation of a Basket Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation

If a Basket Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the related Basket Index and such Basket Index Sponsor or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued Basket

8

Index (a “Successor Index”), then the Closing Level of such Basket Index will be determined by reference to the level of such Successor Index at the close of trading on the Relevant Exchange or market for the Successor Index on any Trading Day. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.

If a Basket Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the related Basket Index, and such discontinuation is continuing on any Trading Day, and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no Successor Index for such Basket Index is available at such time, or if the Calculation Agent has previously selected a Successor Index for such Basket Index and publication of such Successor Index is discontinued, and such discontinuation is continuing on any Trading Day, or if the Basket Index Sponsor (or the publisher of any Successor Index) fails to calculate and publish a Closing Level for such Basket Index (or any Successor Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine such Closing Level for such Trading Day or such date. The Closing Level for such Basket Index will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Basket Index or Successor Index, as applicable, last in effect on the date prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish a Closing Level for the Basket Index or Successor Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in the relevant securities has been materially suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of the Closing Price that would have prevailed but for such suspension or limitation) at the close of the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently included in the Basket Index or Successor Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the Basket Index or a Successor Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Basket Index or a Successor Index is in any other way modified so that the Basket Index or such Successor Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Basket Index or such Successor Index in the absence of such changes or modifications, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the Closing Level for such Basket Index is to be determined, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a level of a stock index comparable to the Basket Index or such Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications were not made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Closing Level with reference to the Basket Index or such Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Basket Index or a Successor Index is modified so that the level of the Basket Index or such Successor Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the Index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the Basket Index or such Successor Index in order to arrive at a level of the Basket Index or the Successor Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).
