Trustee, but written notice of such revocation must be received by the Trustee
on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date or at least 15 days prior to
Maturity, as the case may be.]

                          MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES F
                                 (Fixed Rate)


     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company
(herein called the "Notes"), issued and to be issued in one or more series under
an Indenture dated as of April 15, 1985, as supplemented from time to time
(herein called the "Indenture"), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust
National Association, as successor 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 Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon
which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Note is
one of the series designated on the face hereof.  The Notes of this series may
be denominated in different currencies, bear different dates, mature at
different times and bear interest at different rates.  The Notes of this series
may be issued from time to time in an aggregate principal amount of up to
$13,500,000,000 (including in such amount the offering price of any such Notes
sold at a discount), which amount may be increased if duly authorized by the
Company.

     The United States dollar equivalent of Notes denominated in currencies
other than United States dollars will be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent
on the basis of the noon buying rate for cable transfers in the City of New York
as determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange
Rate") for such currencies on the Business Day (as defined below) immediately
preceding the applicable issue dates.

     Interest payments for this Note will include interest accrued from and
including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly
provided for (or from and including the Original Issue Date if no interest has
been paid or provided for) to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates.
Interest payments for this Note shall be computed and paid on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

     If the Company has the option with respect to this Note to reset the
interest rate, such option will be indicated on the face hereof, together with
(i) the date or dates on which such interest rate may be reset (each an
"Optional Reset Date") and (ii) the basis or formula, if any, for such
resetting.  The Company may exercise such option by notifying the Trustee of
such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to an Optional Reset
Date.  Not later than 40 days prior to such Optional Reset Date, the Trustee
will mail to the Holder hereof a notice (the "Reset Notice"), first class,
postage prepaid, setting forth (i) the election of the Company to reset the
interest rate, (ii) such new interest rate, and (iii) the provisions, if any,
for redemption during the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next
Optional Reset Date or, if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the
Stated Maturity of this Note (each such period a "Subsequent

                                       6
<PAGE>

Interest Period"), including the date or dates on which or the period or periods
during which and the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during
such Subsequent Interest Period.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to an Optional
Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate provided
for in the Reset Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Subsequent
Interest Period commencing on such Optional Reset Date by mailing or causing the
Trustee to mail notice of such higher interest rate first class, postage
prepaid, to the Holder hereof.  Such notice shall be irrevocable.  If the
interest rate is reset on an Optional Reset Date this Note will bear such higher
interest rate.

     If the Company elects to reset the interest rate of this Note, the Holder
hereof will have the option to elect repayment of this Note by the Company on
any Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount hereof plus any
accrued interest to such Optional Reset Date.  In order for this Note to be so
repaid on an Optional Reset Date, the Holder hereof must follow the procedures
set forth below for optional repayment, except that the period for delivery of
this Note or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than
35 days prior to such Optional Reset Date and except that a Holder who has
tendered this Note for repayment pursuant to a Reset Notice may, by written
notice to the Trustee, revoke any such tender for repayment until the close of
business on the tenth day prior to such Optional Reset Date.

     If the Company has the option to extend the Stated Maturity of this Note
for one or more periods (each an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond a date
(the "Final Maturity Date") set forth on the face hereof, such option will be
indicated on the face hereof together with the basis or formula, if any, for
setting the interest rate applicable to any such Extension Period.  The Company
may exercise such option with respect to this Note by notifying the Trustee of
such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity
of this Note in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the "Original
Stated Maturity"). No later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity,
the Trustee will mail to the Holder hereof a notice (the "Extension Notice")
relating to such Extension Period, first class, postage prepaid, setting forth
(i) the election of the Company to extend the Stated Maturity of this Note, (ii)
the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate applicable to the Extension
Period, and (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during the Extension
Period, including the date or dates on which or the period or periods during
which and the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during the
Extension Period.  Upon the mailing by the Trustee of an Extension Notice to the
Holder hereof, the Stated Maturity of this Note shall be extended automatically
as set forth in the Extension Notice, and, except as modified by the Extension
Notice and as described in the next paragraph, this Note will have the same
terms as prior to the mailing of such Extension Notice.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the Original
Stated Maturity for this Note, the Company may, at its option, revoke the
interest rate provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a higher
interest rate for the Extension Period by mailing or causing the Trustee to mail
notice of such higher interest rate first class, postage prepaid, to the Holder
hereof.  Such notice shall be irrevocable.  All Notes with respect to which the
Stated Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate for the
Extension Period.

<PAGE>

     If the Company elects to extend the Stated Maturity of this Note, the
Holder hereof will have the option to elect repayment of this Note by the
Company at the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount
hereof plus any accrued interest to such date.  In order for this Note to be so
repaid on the Original Stated Maturity, the Holder hereof must follow the
procedures set forth below for optional repayment, except that the period for
delivery of this Note or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but
not more than 35 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that a
Holder who has tendered this Note for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice
may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke any such tender for repayment
until the close of business on the tenth day prior to the Original Stated
Maturity.

     Unless one or more Redemption Dates is specified on the face hereof, this
Note shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company before the Maturity
Date specified on the face hereof.  If one or more Redemption Dates (or ranges
of Redemption Dates) is so specified, this Note is subject to redemption on any
such date (or during any such range) at the option of the Company, upon notice
by first-class mail, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date specified in such notice, at the applicable Redemption Price
specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount
of this Note), together in the case of any such redemption with accrued interest
to the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is prior
to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holder of this Note, or one or
more predecessor Notes, of record at the close of business on the relevant
Regular or Special Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided
in the Indenture.  The Company may elect to redeem less than the entire
principal amount hereof, provided that the principal amount, if any, of this
                         --------
Note that remains outstanding after such redemption is an Authorized
Denomination as defined herein.

     Unless one or more Repayment Dates is specified on the face hereof, this
Note shall not be repayable at the option of the Holder on any date prior to the
Maturity Date specified on the face hereof.  If one or more Repayment Dates (or
ranges of Repayment Dates) is so specified, this Note is subject to repayment on
any such date (or during any such range) at the option of the Holder at the
applicable Repayment Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a
percentage of the principal amount of this Note), together in the case of any
such repayment with accrued interest to the Repayment Date, but interest
installments whose Stated Maturity is prior to the Repayment Date will be
payable to the Holder of this Note, or one or more predecessor Notes, of record
at the close of business on the relevant Regular or Special Record Dates
referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.  For this Note
to be repaid at the option of the Holder, the Trustee must receive at the
principal office of its Corporate Trust Department in The City of New York, at
least 30 days but not more than 45 days prior to the Repayment Date on which
this Note is to be repaid, this Note and a statement that the option to elect
repayment is being exercised thereby.  Exercise of the repayment option by the
Holder shall be irrevocable except to the extent permitted in connection with an
interest rate reset or an extension of maturity, each as described above.  The
repayment option with respect to this Note may be exercised by the Holder for
less than the entire principal amount hereof, provided that the principal
                                              --------
amount, if any, of this Note that remains outstanding after such repayment is an
Authorized Denomination as defined herein.

     [Insert if the Security is to be a Certificated Security - In the event of
redemption or repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this
series and of like tenor and for a principal amount equal to the unredeemed or
unrepaid portion will be delivered to the registered Holder upon the
cancellation hereof.]

     [Insert if the Security is to be a Global Security - In the event of
redemption or repayment of this Note in part only, the principal amount shall be
reduced.]

     If this is a Foreign Currency Note to be paid in United States dollars, the
United States dollar amount to be received in respect hereof will be based upon
the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest
firm bid quotation for United States dollars received by such Exchange Rate
Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m.  New York City time on the second Business Day
preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange
dealers in The City of New York selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved
by the Company (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent) for the purchase by
the quoting dealer, for settlement on such payment date, of the aggregate amount
of the Specified Currency payable on such payment date in respect of this Note.
If no such bid quotations are available, payments will be made in the Specified
Currency, unless such Specified Currency is unavailable due to the imposition of
exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the Company's control, in
which case the Company will be entitled to make payments in respect hereof in
United States dollars as provided below.  All currency exchange costs will be
borne by the Holder hereof by deductions from such payments.

     If a Holder is to receive payments in a Specified Currency other than
United States dollars as described on the face hereof, payments of principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest will be paid in immediately available funds
by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Holder with a bank designated
by the Holder (which in the case of Global Securities will be the Depositary or
its nominee) on or prior to the Regular Record Date or at least 15 days prior to
Maturity, as the case may be, provided that such bank has the appropriate
facilities for such a payment in the Specified Currency, provided, however, that
                                                         --------  -------
with respect to payments of principal and premium, if any, and interest at
Maturity this Note is presented to the Trustee in time for the Trustee to make
such payment in accordance with its normal procedures, which shall require
presentation no later than two Business Days prior to Maturity in order to
ensure the availability of immediately available funds in the Specified Currency
at Maturity.

     If payment on this Note is required to be made in a Specified Currency
other than United States dollars and such currency is unavailable in the good
faith judgment of the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or to
other circumstances beyond the Company's control, or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking

     If this is a Foreign Currency Note, in the event of an official
redenomination of such foreign currency (including, without limitation, an
official redenomination of a foreign currency that is a composite currency) the
obligations of the Company with respect to payments on this Note denominated in
such currency shall, in all cases, be deemed immediately following such
redenomination to provide for the payment of that amount of redenominated
currency representing the amount of such obligations immediately before such
redenomination.  No adjustment will be made to any amount payable under this
Note as a result of (a) any change in the value of a foreign currency relative
to any other currency due solely to fluctuations in exchange rates or (b) any
redenomination of any component currency of any composite currency (unless such

     If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and
be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and
payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.  Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, if any Original Issue Discount Note (as
defined below) is redeemed by the Company or repaid at the option of the Holder,
each as described above, or if the principal of any Original Issue Discount Note
is declared to be due and payable immediately pursuant to this paragraph, the
amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited
to the sum of the aggregate principal amount of this Note multiplied by the
Issue Price (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus
the original issue discount accrued from the date of issue to the date of
redemption, repayment or declaration, as applicable, which accrual shall be
calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) in effect on the date of redemption, repayment
or declaration.  Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, an Original
Issue Discount Note is a Note which has a stated redemption price at maturity
that exceeds its Issue Price by at least 0.25% of its stated redemption price at
maturity, multiplied by the number of complete years from the Original Issue
Date to the Maturity Date for this Note.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the

under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent
of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Notes at the
time Outstanding of each series to be affected.  The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Notes of each series at the time Outstanding on behalf of the Holders of
all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Company 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 Note shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Note and of any Note 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 Note.

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 Note at the times, places and rate, and

                                       10
