MELLON FUNDING CORPORATION By: /S/ MICHAEL A. BRYSON Name: Michael A. Bryson Title: President & Chief Executive Officer Attest: /S/ MICHAEL J. BAKER Secretary Dated: June 19, 2003 CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. BANK ONE TRUST COMPANY, N.A. as Trustee By: /S/ LAWRENCE DILLARD ------------------------- Authorized Officer -5- This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), of the series hereinafter specified, issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 12, 2000, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 30, 2001 (herein called the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Guarantor and Bank One Trust Company, 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 statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Guarantor and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Securities may be issued in different series, as in the Indenture provided. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, issued under and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and issued in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000. The Securities of this series are redeemable at the option of the Company, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days' notice by mail, at any time, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on this Security, discounted to such redemption date on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points. In either case, the Redemption Price shall also include interest accrued to the date of redemption on the principal balance of this Security to be redeemed. "Treasury Rate" means an annual rate equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the redemption date. The semiannual equivalent yield to maturity will be computed as of the second Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date. "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an independent investment banking firm that would be -6- used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities. The term "independent investment banking firm" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Company appoints. "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such business day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations. "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC (and its successors), and any three other nationally recognized investment banking firms that the Company shall appoint from time to time that are primary dealers of U.S. government securities in New York City (each, a "Reference Treasury Dealer"). If any of the firms named in the preceding sentence ceases to be a primary dealer of U.S. government securities in New York City, the Company shall appoint another nationally recognized investment banking firm as a substitute. "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the Trustee by a Reference Treasury Dealer as of 3:30 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day preceding that redemption date. The Trustee shall seek Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations in respect of -7- any Redemption Date from each of the then-existing Reference Treasury Dealers. "Remaining Scheduled Payments" means, with respect to each Security being redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on that Security that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for the redemption. If, however, the Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date with respect to that Security, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on that Security that would have been due will be deemed reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the Security to the redemption date. The Company reserves the right from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Securities, to create and issue further notes ranking equally and ratably with the Securities in all respects, or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of those further securities. Any further securities will be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities and will have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities. Any further securities may be issued pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors of the Company, a supplement to the Indenture, or under an officers' certificate pursuant to the Indenture. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company's obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities of this series shall terminate. 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 of the Company, 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 -8- appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. The Guarantor, or a Subsidiary thereof, may directly assume, by a supplemental indenture, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all the Securities, in which case the Company shall be released from its liability as obligor on the 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 principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 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 office or agency of the Company, in the place referred to on the face hereof, where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security are payable, 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 -9- his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor and of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
