               Determination of Prime Rate. Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, if the Interest Rate Basis on this Note is the Prime Rate, the
interest rate with respect to this Note shall equal (i) the rate set forth for
the relevant Prime Rate Interest Determination Date (as defined below) as
published in H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime Loan," or (ii) if such rate
is not published prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date
pertaining to such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, the rate on such

not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date,
either in H.15(519) or in H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic
source, the arithmetic mean (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest
one-hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five-millionths of a
percentage point rounded upwards) of the rates of interest publicly announced by
each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page (as defined below) as
such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for that Prime Rate
Interest Determination Date, or (iv) if fewer than four such quotations but more
than one such quotation appears on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page for the
Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, the arithmetic mean (rounded, if
necessary, to the nearest one-hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with
five-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards) of the prime rates quoted
on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year
as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by at

provide such rate or rates, adjusted in each case by the addition or subtraction
of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, and/or by multiplication by
the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof; provided, however,
that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid are not quoting as
mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate will remain the Prime Rate then in
effect on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date. "Reuters Screen USPRIME1
Page" means the display designated as page "USPRIME1" on the Reuters Monitor
Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the USPRIME1 page on that

               Determination of LIBOR. Unless otherwise specified on the face
hereof, if the Interest Rate Basis on this Note is LIBOR, the interest rate
payable with respect to this Note shall be determined in accordance with the
following provisions:

        (i)    With respect to any LIBOR Interest Determination Date (as defined
below), LIBOR will be either: (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face
hereof, the arithmetic mean (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest
one-hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five-millionths of a
percentage point rounded upwards) of the offered rates (unless the specified

                                       9

Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, in which
case such single rate shall be used) for deposits in the LIBOR Currency having
the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London
Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, that
appear on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR
Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless,
as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or
(b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof, the rate for deposits
in the LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof,
commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such LIBOR
Interest Determination Date, that appears on such Designated LIBOR Page as of
11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, adjusted in
each case by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the
face hereof, and/or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any,
specified on the face hereof. "LIBOR Currency" means the currency (including
composite currencies) specified on the face hereof as the currency for which
LIBOR shall be calculated. If no such currency is specified on the face hereof,
the LIBOR Currency shall be U.S. dollars. "Designated LIBOR Page" means either
if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters
Monitor Money Rates Service (or any successor service) for the purpose of
displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable LIBOR
Currency, or if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof, the display on
Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) for the purpose of displaying
the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable LIBOR Currency (if
the U.S. dollar is the LIBOR Currency, LIBOR will be determined as if Page 3750
had been specified). "Page 3750" means the display designated as page "3750" on
Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or such other page as may replace the 3750 page on that
service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British
Bankers' Association for the purposes of displaying London interbank offered
rates for U.S. dollar deposits). If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is
specified on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable LIBOR Currency will be
determined as if LIBOR Telerate had been specified. In the case where (a) above
applies, if fewer than two offered rates appear on the Designated LIBOR Page, or
in the case where (b) above applies, if no rate appears on the Designated LIBOR
Page, as applicable, LIBOR in respect of such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii)
below.

               (ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which
fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face
hereof) or no rate appears (if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face
hereof), the Calculation Agent will determine LIBOR in respect of such LIBOR
Interest Determination Date as follows: the Calculation Agent will request the
principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London
interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the
Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the LIBOR Currency
for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on
the second London Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date
and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or the equivalent in the
LIBOR Currency, if the LIBOR Currency is not the U.S. dollar) that is
representative of a single transaction in such LIBOR Currency in such market at
such time, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any,
specified on the face hereof, and/or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier,
if any, specified on the face hereof and (a) if at least two such quotations are
provided, LIBOR

                                       10
<PAGE>   11


determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean
(rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point, with five-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards) of such
quotations, or (b) if fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined
on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded,
if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with
five-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards) of the rates quoted at
approximately 11:00 a.m. (or such other time specified on the face hereof), in
the applicable principal financial center for the country of the LIBOR Currency
on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in such
principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in the
LIBOR Currency to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity specified on
the face hereof and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or the
equivalent in the LIBOR Currency, if the LIBOR Currency is not the U.S. dollar)
commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such LIBOR
Interest Determination Date that is representative for a single transaction in
such LIBOR Currency in such market at such time, in either case adjusted by the
addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof,
and/or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face
hereof; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the
Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR will
remain the LIBOR then in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

               Determination of Treasury Rate. Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, if the Interest Rate Basis on this Note is the Treasury Rate, the
interest rate payable with respect to this Note shall equal:

               (i) the rate for the auction held on the related Treasury
Interest Determination Date of direct obligations of the United States
("Treasury bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof under
the caption "INVESTMENT RATE" on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any
successor service) on page 56 (of any other page as may replace that page on
that service) ("Telerate Page 56") or page 57 (or any other page as may replace
that page on that service) ("Telerate Page 57"); or

               (ii) if the rate referred to in clause (i) is not so published by
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date pertaining to
such Treasury Interest Determination Date, the rate (expressed as a Bond
Equivalent Yield, rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred-thousandth
of a percentage point, with five-millionths of a percentage point rounded
upwards, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied
on a daily basis) on such Treasury Interest Determination Date of Treasury bills
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15
Daily Update under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury

of displaying the applicable rate; or

               (iii) if the rate referred to in clause (ii) is not so published
by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date pertaining to
such Treasury Interest Determination Date, the Treasury Rate will be the auction
average rate on such Treasury Interest Determination Date (expressed as a Bond
Equivalent Yield (as defined below), rounded, if necessary, to the nearest
one-hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five-millionths of a
percentage point


                                       11

rounded upwards, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days as applicable, and
applied on a daily basis) as otherwise announced by the United States Department
of the Treasury; or

               (iv) if the rate referred to in clause (iii) is not so announced
by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the auction is not held,
then the Treasury Rate will be the rate (expressed as a Bond Equivalent Yield,
rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point, with five-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) on
such Treasury Interest Determination Date of Treasury bills having the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) under the
caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market;" or

               (v) if the rate referred to in clause (iv) is not so published by
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date pertaining to
such Treasury Interest Determination Date, the rate (expressed as a Bond
Equivalent Yield, rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred-thousandth
of a percentage point, with five-millionths of a percentage point rounded
upwards, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied
on a daily basis) on such Treasury Interest Determination Date of Treasury bills
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15
Daily Update under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury
Bills/Secondary Market" or another recognized electronic source used for the
purpose of displaying the applicable rate; or

               (vi) if the rate referred to in clause (v) is not so published by
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date pertaining to
such Treasury Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine
the Treasury Rate to be a yield to maturity (expressed as a Bond Equivalent
Yield, rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point, with five-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards, on
the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily
basis) of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of
approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Treasury Interest
Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities dealers
selected by the Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury bills with a
remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof;
or

               (vii) if the dealers selected in clause (vi) by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting as mentioned in clause (vi), the Treasury Rate will remain
the Treasury Rate then in effect on such Treasury Interest Determination Date;
and, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (vii) above, adjusted by the
addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof,
and/or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face
hereof.

               "Bond Equivalent Yield" means a yield (expressed as a percentage)
calculated in accordance with the following formula:


                                             D x N
       Bond Equivalent Yield  =      ----------------------- x 100
                                          360 - (D x M)


where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a
bank discount

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

basis and expressed as a decimal, "N" refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be,
and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which
interest is being calculated.

               Indexed Notes. This Note may be issued with the principal amount
payable at Maturity and/or with interest payable hereon on an Interest Payment
Date to be determined by reference to the price or prices of specified
securities or commodities, securities or commodities exchange indices, the
relationship between two or more specified currencies or other factors (each an
"Indexed Note"), as shall be indicated above under "Other Terms." Specific
information pertaining to the method for determining the principal amount
payable at Maturity or the amount of interest to be paid on an Interest Payment
Date with reference to the specified index shall be included above under "Other
Terms."

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not
be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum
Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall
calculate the interest rate on this Note in accordance with the foregoing on or
before each Calculation Date. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be
higher than the maximum rate permitted by California law as the same may be
modified by United States law of general applicability.

               The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of
this Note, provide to such Holder the interest rate hereon then in effect and,
if different, the interest rate which will become effective as a result of a
determination made on the most recent Interest Determination Date.

               Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof and except as
provided below, interest will be payable, in the case of Notes which reset
daily, weekly or monthly, on the third Wednesday of each month or on the third
Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year, as indicated on
the face hereof; in the case of Notes which reset quarterly, on the third
Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; in the case of
Notes which reset semi-annually, on the third Wednesday of the two months of
each year specified on the face hereof; and in the case of Notes which reset
annually, on the third Wednesday of the month specified on the face hereof (each
an "Interest Payment Date"), and in each case, at Maturity. If any Interest
Payment Date specified on the face hereof would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day that
is a Business Day, except that if (i) the rate of interest on this Note shall be
determined in accordance with the provisions of the heading "Determination of
LIBOR" above, and (ii) such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar
month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business
Day.

               "Business Day" means (a) with respect to any Note, any day that
is not a Saturday or Sunday and that, in The City of New York, is not a day on
which banking institutions generally are authorized or required by law,
regulation or executive order to close, (b) if the Note is denominated in a
Specified Currency other than United States dollars, not a day on which banking
institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to
close in the principal financial center of the country issuing the Specified
Currency (but if the Specified Currency is the Euro, the day must also be a day
on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express
Transfer (TARGET) System is open), and (c) if the rate of

                                       13
<PAGE>   14

interest on this Note shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of
the heading "Determination of LIBOR" above, a London Business Day. As used in
the preceding sentence, "principal financial center" means the capital city of
the country issuing the Specified Currency, or the capital city of the country
to which the LIBOR Currency relates, except that with respect to United States
dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Deutsche marks, Dutch guilders,
Italian lire, Swiss francs, Portuguese escudos and South African rand, the
"principal financial center" shall be the City of New York, Sydney (and solely
in the case of the LIBOR Currency, Melbourne), Toronto, Frankfurt, Amsterdam,
Milan, Zurich, London (solely in the case of the LIBOR Currency) and
Johannesburg, respectively. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
"London Business Day" means any day on which commercial banks are open for
business, including dealings in the LIBOR Currency, in London.

               Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest
Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest
on this Note shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the
headings (a) "Determination of Commercial Paper Rate" above (the "Commercial
Paper Interest Determination Date"), (b) "Determination of Federal Funds Rate"
above (the "Federal Funds Interest Determination Date"), (c) "Determination of
CD Rate" above (the "CD Interest Determination Date") or (d) "Determination of
Prime Rate" above (the "Prime Rate Interest Determination Date") will be the
Business Day preceding such Interest Reset Date with respect to this Note if the
Interest Rate Basis on this Note is the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate,
and the second Business Day preceding such Interest Reset Date if the Interest
Rate Basis on this Note is the Commercial Paper Rate or the CD Rate. Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Interest Determination Date
pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest on this Note shall
be determined in accordance with the provisions of the heading "Determination of
LIBOR" above (the "LIBOR Interest Determination Date") will be the second London
Business Day preceding such Interest Reset Date unless the LIBOR Currency is
British Pounds Sterling, in which case the LIBOR Interest Determination Date
will be the applicable Interest Reset Date. Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset
Date if the rate of interest on this Note shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions of the heading "Determination of Treasury Rate" above (the
"Treasury Interest Determination Date") will be the day of the week in which
such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills would normally be
auctioned. Treasury bills are usually sold at auction on Monday of each week,
unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is usually held on
the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding
Friday. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the
preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Treasury Interest Determination Date
pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week. If
an auction date shall fall on any Interest Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Note,
then such Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day
immediately following such auction date.

               Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Calculation
Date pertaining to any Interest Determination Date, other than with respect to
LIBOR Notes, is the earlier of (i) the tenth day after such Interest
Determination Date or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable
Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be.


                                       14
<PAGE>   15

               Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest payments,
if any, will be the amount of 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
with respect to this Note) to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the
date of Maturity. Accrued interest hereon from the Original Issue Date or from
the last date to which interest hereon has been paid is calculated by
multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued
interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each
day from the Original Issue Date or from the last date to which interest shall
have been paid, to the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. The
interest factor for each day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate
applicable to such day by 360, in the case of the Commercial Paper Rate, Federal
Funds Rate, Prime Rate, CD Rate or LIBOR, or by the actual number of days in the
year in the case of the Treasury Rate. All percentages resulting from any
calculation hereon will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point, with five-one millionths of a percentage point rounded
upwards. For example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or
 .0987655). All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation hereon
will be rounded, in the case of United states dollars, to the nearest cent or,
in the case of a Specified Currency other than Untied States dollars, to the
nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards).

               If the Company has the option with respect to this Note to reset
the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, such option will be indicated on the face
hereof, together with (i) the date or dates on which such Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier 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 Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, (ii) such new Spread
and/or Spread Multiplier, 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 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 Spread and/or
Spread Multiplier provided for in the Reset Notice and establish a higher Spread
and/or Spread Multiplier for the Subsequent Interest Period commencing on such
Optional Reset Date by mailing or causing the Trustee to mail notice of such
higher Spread and/or Spread Multiplier first class, postage prepaid, to the
Holder hereof. Such notice shall be irrevocable. If the Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier is reset on an Optional Reset Date this Note will bear such higher
Spread and/or Spread Multiplier.

               If the Company elects to reset the Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier 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


                                       15
<PAGE>   16

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 the 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 Spread and/or Spread Multiplier 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 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
hereof, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier
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 of this Note, 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 Spread and/or Spread Multiplier provided for in the Extension Notice
and establish a higher Spread and/or Spread Multiplier for the Extension Period
by mailing or causing the Trustee to mail notice of such higher Spread and/or
Spread Multiplier 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 Spread and/or Spread Multiplier for the
Extension Period.

               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
__________________, 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

                                       17
<PAGE>   18

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 community, then all payments with respect to this Note shall be made in
United States dollars until such currency is again available or so used. The
amount so payable on any date in such Specified Currency shall be converted into
United States dollars at a rate determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the
basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day prior to such
payment, or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, the most
recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise determined in good faith
by the Company if the foregoing is impracticable.

               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
composite currency is itself officially redenominated).

               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
the 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 Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each
series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority 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.

               No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Note 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 Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed. However, the Indenture limits the Holder's right to
enforce the Indenture and this Note.

               As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
set forth therein and as may be set forth on the face hereof, the transfer of
this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place
where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Notes of this series of like tenor, of Authorized Denominations and
for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

               [Insert if the Security is a Global Security - This Note is a
Global Note and shall be exchangeable for Notes registered in the names of
Persons other than the Depositary with respect to this Global Note or its
nominee only if (A) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as Depositary for this Global Note or at any time ceases to

1934, as amended, (B) the Company in its discretion executes and delivers to the
Trustee a Company Order that this Global Note shall be exchangeable or (C) there
shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the
Notes. If this Global Note is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence,
it shall be exchangeable for Notes issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, registered in such names as such
Depositary shall direct.]

               The Notes of this series are issuable, in the case of Notes
denominated in United States dollars, in denominations of U.S. $______ and any
integral multiple of U.S. $______ in excess thereof and, in the case of Notes
denominated in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars, in the
authorized denominations set forth on the face hereof (in each case, an
"Authorized Denomination"). As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations set forth therein and as may be set forth on the face hereof, Notes
of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes
of this series of like tenor 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.

               The Notes of this series may be issued in the form of one or more
Global Securities to The Depository Trust Company as depositary for the Global
Securities of this series (the "Depositary") or its nominee and registered in
the name of the Depositary or such nominee.

               Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof
for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

        No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest
on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or
based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto,
against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past,
present or future, of 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.

               The Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.

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