Reverse of Security

This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as 100% Principal Protection 1.923% Notes Linked to a Basket of International Indices Due June 29, 2012 (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 further 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 and the amount to be paid on each Coupon Payment Date, 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 determinations by the Calculation Agent of the Payment at Maturity and the amount to be paid on each Coupon Payment Date and shall have no duty to make any such determinations. 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 and the amount to be paid on each Coupon Payment Date on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date and each Coupon Payment Date.

All calculations with respect to the Basket Ending Level and the Basket Return (including each Index 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 Additional Amount payable at maturity, if any, per $1,000 principal amount Security 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 $1,000.00, plus the Additional Amount and, if applicable, any accrued and unpaid coupon payments on the Securities. The Additional Amount will be calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Maturity Date and the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the date of acceleration were the Final Valuation Date. Upon any acceleration of the Securities, any coupon payment will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days


elapsed from and including the previous Coupon Payment Date for which a coupon payment was made. 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 and coupon payments 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 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 beneficial ownership interest in the Securities of this series, each Holder of such Securities will be deemed to have agreed, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) to treat the Securities of this series 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 of this series. The Company has determined that the comparable yield is an annual rate of 5.7135% compounded semiannually. Based on the comparable yield, the projected payment schedule per $1,000 Security consists of the fixed quarterly coupon payments and $1,219.87 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.

Index for use in calculating the Basket Index Ending Level by reference to the closing level of such Basket Index on that Trading Day; and

 

   

with respect to each Basket Index for which such day is not a Trading Day or for which a Market Disruption Event has occurred, determine the closing level of such Basket Index for use in calculating the Basket Index Ending Level by reference to the closing level of such Basket Index on the next Trading Day for such Basket Index on which there is not a Market Disruption Event; provided, however, if a Market Disruption Event with respect to such Basket Index occurs on each of the eight Trading Days following the originally scheduled Final Valuation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Closing Level of such Basket Index for use in calculating the Basket Index Ending Level in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the closing index level of such Basket Index last in effect prior to commencement of the Market Disruption Event (or prior to the non-Trading Day), 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 or non-Trading Day) on such eighth scheduled Trading Day of each security most recently included in the Basket Index.

Market Disruption Event”, with respect to any of the Basket Indices (or any Successor Index) shall mean any of the following events has occurred on any day as determined by the Calculation Agent:

(1) a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of stocks then constituting 20% or more of the level of such Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Index) on the Relevant Exchanges for such securities at any time during the one hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange;

(4) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contracts or exchange traded funds;

For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists at any time, if trading in a security included in a Basket Index is materially suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the level of such Basket Index shall be based on a comparison of:

(1) the portion of the level of such Basket Index attributable to that security relative to

(2) the overall level of such Basket Index,

in each case immediately before that suspension or limitation.

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred:

(1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the Relevant Exchange or market;

(2) limitations pursuant to the rules of any Relevant Exchange similar to NYSE Rule 80B (or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by any other self-regulatory organization or any government agency of scope similar to NYSE Rule 80B as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion) on trading during significant market fluctuations will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading;

(3) a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts on the Basket Index by the primary securities market trading in such contracts by reason of (i) a price change exceeding limits set by such exchange or market, (ii) an imbalance of orders relating to such


contracts, or (iii) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts, will, in each such case, constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts related to the Basket Index; and

Trustee” shall have the meaning set forth on the reverse of this Security.

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine, among other things, the Basket Ending Level, the Basket Return, the Index Return for each Basket Index, the Additional Amount, if any, the amount that we will pay you at maturity, as well as whether the Basket Ending Level is equal to or greater than the Basket Starting Level and the amount of interest payable, if any, on any Coupon Payment Date. The Calculation Agent will also be responsible for determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred, whether any of the Basket Indices has been discontinued, whether there has been a material change in the method of calculation of any of the Basket Indices and whether a day is a Coupon Payment Date. 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 the Holders’ consent and without notifying Holders.

Discontinuation of a Basket Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation

EURO STOXX 50® Index

If STOXX Limited discontinues publication of the EURO STOXX 50® Index and STOXX Limited or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued EURO STOXX 50® Index (a “EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index”), then the Index Closing Level for such Basket Index will be determined by reference to the level of such EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index at the close of trading on the Relevant Exchange or market for the EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index on the Final Valuation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of EURO STOXX 50 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 STOXX Limited discontinues publication of the EURO STOXX 50® Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date, and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index is available at such time, or the Calculation Agent has previously selected a EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index and publication of such EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date, or if STOXX Limited (or the publisher of any EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index) fails to calculate and publish an Index Closing Level for the EURO STOXX 50® Index(or any EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Index Closing Level for such date. The Index Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the EURO STOXX 50® Index or EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish an Index Closing Level for the EURO STOXX 50® Index or EURO STOXX 50 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 composing the EURO STOXX 50® Index or EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the EURO STOXX 50® Index or a EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the


EURO STOXX 50® Index or a EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index is in any other way modified so that the EURO STOXX 50® Index or such EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the EURO STOXX 50® Index or such EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the EURO STOXX 50® Index Closing Level 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 EURO STOXX 50® Index or such EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Index Closing Level with reference to the EURO STOXX 50® Index or such EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the EURO STOXX 50® Index or a EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index is modified so that the level of the EURO STOXX 50® Index or such EURO STOXX 50 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 EURO STOXX 50® Index or such EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index in order to arrive at a level of the EURO STOXX 50® Index or such EURO STOXX 50 Successor Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

Nikkei 225SM Index

If Nikkei Inc. discontinues publication of the Nikkei 225SM Index and Nikkei Inc. or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued Nikkei 225SM Index (an “Nikkei 225SM Successor Index”), then the Index Closing Level for such Basket Index will be determined by reference to the level of such Nikkei 225SM Successor Index at the close of trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (2nd session) or the Relevant Exchange or market for the Nikkei 225SM Successor Index on the Final Valuation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of Nikkei 225SM 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 Nikkei Inc. discontinues publication of the Nikkei 225SM Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date, and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no Nikkei 225SM Successor Index is available at such time, or the Calculation Agent has previously selected an Nikkei 225SM Successor Index and publication of such Nikkei 225SM Successor Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date, or if Nikkei Inc. (or the publisher of any Nikkei 225SM Successor Index) fails to calculate and publish an Index Closing Level for the Nikkei 225SM Index (or any Nikkei 225SM Successor Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Index Closing Level for such date. The Index Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or Nikkei 225SM Successor Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish an Index Closing Level for the Nikkei 225SM Index or Nikkei 225SM 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 composing the Nikkei 225SM Index or Nikkei 225SM Successor Index, as applicable.


If at any time the method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or an Nikkei 225SM Successor Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Nikkei 225SM Index or an Nikkei 225SM Successor Index is in any other way modified so that the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Successor Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the Index Closing Level 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 Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Index Closing Level with reference to the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or an Nikkei 225SM Successor Index is modified so that the level of the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM 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 Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Successor Index in order to arrive at a level of the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Successor Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

Coupon Payments

For each Coupon Period for each $1,000 principal amount Security, the coupon payment for each Coupon Period will be calculated as follows:

$1,000 x Coupon Rate x (number of days in the Coupon Period / 360),

where the number of days will be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with twelve months of thirty days each.

Coupon payments will be made at the Coupon Rate. Coupon payments will accrue from, and including, the issue date of the Securities to, but excluding, the Maturity Date. Coupon payments will be paid in arrears on each Coupon Payment Date to, and including, the Maturity Date, to the Holders at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to that Coupon Payment Date, whether or not such fifteenth calendar day is a Business Day. If the Maturity Date is adjusted as the result of a Market Disruption Event, the coupon payment due on the Maturity Date will be made on the Maturity Date as adjusted, with the same force and effect as if the Maturity Date had not been adjusted, but no additional coupon payment will accrue or be payable as a result of the delayed payment.
