     Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., a Delaware corporation (together with
its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises
to pay to              , or registered assignees, the principal [sum        ]5
[amount specified in Schedule A hereto]6 specified in Schedule I hereto on the
Initial Maturity Date specified above or, to the extent the maturity date of
any portion of the principal amount of this Note is extended in accordance with
the procedures set forth below to an Extended Maturity Date, as defined below,
on such Extended Maturity Date (except to the extent such portion is redeemed
prior to such Extended Maturity Date) and to pay interest on the principal
amount hereof outstanding from time to time, from the Interest Accrual Date
specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate
specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, and
thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions
specified on the reverse hereof until (a) the principal hereof is paid or duly
made available for payment or (b) this Note has been cancelled in accordance
with the provisions set forth below.

     The Issuer will pay interest in arrears weekly, monthly, quarterly,
semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on
each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first
Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified
above, and on the Initial Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, as the
case may be (each, a "Maturity Date"), or any redemption date; provided,
however, if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined
below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will
commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual
Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to
such second Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that if an Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date or redemption date would fall on a day that
is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment
Date, Maturity Date or redemption date shall be the following day that is a
Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is LIBOR or EURIBOR
and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the Interest
Payment Date, Maturity Date or redemption date shall be the immediately
preceding day that is a Business Day. As used herein, "Extended Maturity Date"
means the Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months after the
Initial Maturity Date and each Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six
months after the immediately preceding Extended Maturity Date.

     Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has
been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date,
until, but excluding the date the (a) the principal hereof has been paid or
duly made available for payment or (b) this Note has been cancelled in
accordance with the provisions set forth below. The interest so payable, and
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will,
subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose
name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on

the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a
Business Day) (each such date, a "Record Date"); provided, however, that
interest payable at maturity (or any redemption date) shall be payable to the
person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

     On the Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months prior to
the Initial Maturity Date (the "Initial Election Date"), the maturity of this
Note shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date occurring in the month
twelve months following the Initial Election Date and on the Interest Payment
Date occurring in the month six months prior to each Extended Maturity Date (an
"Election Date," which term shall include the Initial Election Date), the
maturity of this Note shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date occurring
in the month twelve months after such Election Date, unless, in any such case,
the holder hereof elects to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity
hereof or of any portion hereof having a principal amount of $1,000 or any
larger multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof by delivering to the Paying Agent,
as defined on the reverse hereof, not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior
to the applicable Election Date (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to
Elect Termination of Automatic Extension" below duly completed or (ii) a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national
securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or
a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America setting
forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the
certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor or terms,
a statement that the option to elect termination of automatic extension is
being exercised thereby, the principal amount hereof with respect to which such
option is being exercised and a guarantee that this Note with the form entitled
"Option to Elect Termination of Automatic Extension" below duly completed will
be received by the Paying Agent no later than five Business Days after the date
of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided that such
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall not be effective unless
this Note and such form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such
fifth Business Day. Such option may be exercised by the holder for less than
the entire principal amount hereof provided that the principal amount for which
such option is not exercised is at least $1,000 or any larger amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000. The exercise of such option may be withdrawn
before or after the applicable Election Date, pursuant to the procedures
described on the reverse hereof and in a Short-Term Note (as defined below). If
the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity of any portion
hereof is exercised and not withdrawn prior to the applicable Election Date in
accordance with such procedures, a new Note or Notes in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A (each, a "Short-Term Note") for the principal amount hereof
for which such option was exercised and not withdrawn shall be issued on such
Election Date in the name of the holder hereof and Schedule I hereto shall be
annotated as of such Election Date to reflect the corresponding decrease in the
principal amount hereof. Each such Short-Term Note shall have as its "Maturity
Date" (as such term is used in such Short-Term Note) the Interest Payment Date
occurring in the month six months after such Election Date and shall have as
its Spread or Spread Multiplier, as the case may be, the Spread or Spread
Multiplier applicable to this Note on the day prior to the issuance of such
Short-Term Note. If any exercise of the option to terminate the automatic
extension of the maturity hereof causes the principal amount of this Note to be
reduced to zero, this Note shall nevertheless not be cancelled until the date
on which all outstanding Short-Term Notes issued in exchange for this Note
shall have been paid in full.


                                       4


<PAGE>


     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maturity of this Note shall not be
extended beyond the Final Maturity Date specified above.

     If the holder of any Short-Term Note exchanges all or a portion of such
Short-Term Note for an interest in this Note in accordance with the terms of
such Short-Term Note, Schedule I hereto shall be annotated on the date of such
exchange to reflect the corresponding increase in the principal amount hereof.

     Payment of the principal, premium, if any, and the interest due at
maturity on this Note (or any redemption date), unless this Note is denominated
in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and is to be paid in whole or
in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds
upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent, as
defined on the reverse hereof, maintained for that purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other paying agent as the Issuer
may determine in U.S. dollars. U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than
interest due at maturity or any date of redemption, will be made by United
States dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as
such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000
(or the equivalent in a Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal
amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is
payable in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest,
other than interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15
calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.

     If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment
in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of
principal, premium, if any, or interest with regard to this Note will be made
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the
holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire
transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing [not
less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date]7 [, with
respect to payments of interest, on or prior to the fifth Business Day after
the applicable Record Date and, with respect to payments of principal or any
premium, at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any
redemption or repayment date, as the case may be]8; provided that, if payment
of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note is payable in
euro, the account must be a euro account in a country for which the euro is the
lawful currency, provided, further, that if such wire transfer instructions are
not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified
Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Note register, and provided, further, that payment of the
principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any
redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the
office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph.

     If so indicated on the face hereof, the holder of this Note, if
denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to
receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by
transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the fifth
Business Day after such Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the
Maturity Date or any redemption date, as the case may be. Such election shall
remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying
Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business
Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date,
for payments of interest, or any redemption date, for payments of principal,
as the case may be.

     If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal
or premium, if any, and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified
Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent (as
defined on the reverse) will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the
event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon
the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest
bid quotation in The City of New York 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 (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate
Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer) for the purchase by the quoting dealer of
U.S. dollars for the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date in
the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such an election
to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a
contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made
in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the
holder of this Note by deductions from such payments.

     If this Note ceases to be held by The Depository Trust Company or its
successor or the nominee of The Depository Trust Company or its successor, this
Note will be exchanged for one or more Notes of authorized denominations having
an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note as
then shown on Schedule I hereto, which new Notes shall otherwise have the same
terms as this Note, except that the provisions of such new Notes regarding the
termination of the automatic extension of the maturity thereof shall be
modified to the extent appropriate for notes not required to be held in a
securities depositary; provided that the respective rights and obligations of
the Issuer and the holders of such new Notes shall be the same in all material
respects as the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holder
of this Note. Such new Notes shall have stated principal amounts and shall be
registered in the names of the persons then having a beneficial interest in
this Note or in the names of their nominees.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth
on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same effect as if set forth at this place, including, without limitation, the
provisions relating to the subordination of this Note to the Issuer's Senior
Indebtedness, as defined on the reverse hereof.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Authenticating Agent referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature,

                         [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Subordinated Global
Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the
date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under an
Amended and Restated Subordinated Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1999, between
the Issuer and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee (the "Trustee,"
which term includes any successor trustee under the Subordinated Indenture) (as
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Subordinated
Indenture"), to which Subordinated Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and
holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. The Trustee has appointed The Chase Manhattan
Bank, as Authenticating Agent (the "Authenticating Agent," which term includes
any successor authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee) with respect to
the Notes, and the Issuer has appointed The Chase Manhattan Bank at its
corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying
Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed
by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may
vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates,
maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Subordinated Indenture. To
the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Subordinated Indenture
are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

     Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof
in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraph, will not be
redeemable prior to maturity.

     If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or
in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Redemption Dates specified
on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with
interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. Notice of
redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated
for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register
not less than 180 nor more than 210 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Subordinated
Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or
Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the
name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

     If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Tax Redemption
and Payment of Additional Amounts," this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at
the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a
notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed
for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or
amendment to the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of
the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof
or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the
application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which
change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Initial Offering Date
hereof, the Issuer has or will


                                       9


<PAGE>


become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to
this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption
pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a
certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and
setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the
right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of
independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such
statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given
earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be
obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note
were then due.

     Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period
specified on face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will
be specified in the Notice.

     If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Tax Redemption
and Payment of Additional Amounts," the Issuer will, subject to certain
exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the
"Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note who is a United States Alien
as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and
interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after
withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or
governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United
States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein),
will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and
payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required to make any payment of
Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account of:

          (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
     not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or
     former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor,
     beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an
     estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States and
     its possessions, including, without limitation, such holder (or such
     fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having
     been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a
     trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent
     establishment therein or (ii) the presentation by the holder of this Note
     for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such
     payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is
     duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the
Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that (a)
the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to
the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof will be the
Initial Interest Rate and (b) unless otherwise specified on the face hereof,
the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to
maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth calendar
day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment date. If any Interest
Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest
Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business
Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and
such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset
Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. As used herein, "Business
Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a

System ("TARGET") is operating (a "TARGET Settlement Day").

     If so indicated on the face of this Note, the Issuer has the option to
reset the Spread or Spread Multiplier on this Note as of any Election Date.
Such option shall include the right to reset the Maximum Interest Rate or
Minimum Interest Rate on this Note. The Issuer may exercise such option by
notifying the Paying Agent of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60
days prior to an Election Date, such notice to be accompanied by the form of
the Reset Notice referred to below. Not later than 38 days prior to such
Election Date, the Paying Agent will mail to the holder hereof a notice (the
"Reset Notice"), first class mail, postage prepaid, setting forth (a) the
election of the Issuer to reset the Spread or Spread Multiplier and (b) such
new Spread or Spread Multiplier, together with any new Maximum Interest Rate or
Minimum Interest Rate.

     If the face hereof indicates that the Issuer has the option to reset the
Spread or Spread Multiplier on this Note, then, if the holder of this Note
elects to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof or any
portion hereof as of any Election Date, the Issuer may, not later than the
later of (a) the twentieth calendar day prior to such Election Date and (b) the
first Business Day following the twenty-third calendar day prior to such
Election Date, propose a new Spread or Spread Multiplier or revoke a Spread or
Spread Multiplier previously set forth in a Reset Notice and propose a higher
Spread or Spread Multiplier, in either case together with any new Maximum
Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate, by causing the Paying Agent to send
notice thereof, to the holder of this Note by first class mail, postage
prepaid, or by such other means as shall be agreed between the Issuer and the
Paying Agent. If the Issuer has proposed a new or higher Spread or Spread
Multiplier as described above, the holder hereof may withdraw his election to
terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof or any portion hereof
by giving written notice to such effect to the Paying Agent not less than 16
days prior to such Election Date (or if such sixteenth day is not a Business
Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day), in which case such new or
higher Spread or Spread Multiplier, together with any new Maximum Interest Rate
or Minimum Interest Rate, will


                                       12

apply to the entire principal amount of this Note from such Election Date until
the Maturity Date or until the Spread or Spread Multiplier is further reset by
the Issuer pursuant to the provisions hereof or of a Short-Term Note.

     The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for
Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CD Rate, Commercial Paper

pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by
reference to EURIBOR (or to LIBOR when the Index Currency is euros) shall be

Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes
bearing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR, other than for LIBOR Notes
for which the Index Currency is euros, shall be the second London Banking Day

pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a LIBOR Note for which the Index
Currency is pounds sterling will be such Interest Reset Date. As used herein,
"London Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in the Index
Currency (as defined herein) are transacted in the London interbank market. The
Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes

respect to this Note shall be the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate
Page (as defined below) under the caption "... Treasury Constant Maturities ...
Federal Reserve Board Release H.15... Mondays Approximately 3:45 p.m.," under
the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

     (1) the rate on that Interest Determination Date, if the Designated CMT
Telerate Page is 7051; and

     (2) the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the
week in which the related Interest Determination Date occurs, if the Designated
CMT Telerate Page is 7052.

     The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be
determined as described above:

     (i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if
not displayed by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation
Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519).

     (ii) If the above rate is no longer published, or if not published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate
shall be the Treasury Constant Maturity Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity
Index or other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity
Index on the Interest Determination Date as may then be published by either the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States
Department of the


                                      20

Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate
formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in the
relevant H.15(519).

     (iii) If the information set forth above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent
shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic
mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30
p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported,
according to their written records, by three leading primary United States
government securities dealers ("Reference Dealers") in The City of New York,
which may include an agent or other affiliates of the Issuer, selected by the
Calculation Agent as described in the following sentence. The Calculation Agent
shall select five reference dealers (after consultation with the Issuer) and
shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations
of the United States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of
approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to
maturity of not less than that Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If
two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining
terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the
quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall
be used.

     (iv) If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three Treasury Notes
quotations as described in (iii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine
the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the
secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City
time, on the Interest Determination Date of three reference dealers in The City
of New York, selected using the same method described in (iii) above, for
Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest
to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to
maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at
least $100,000,000.

     (v) If three or four (and not five) of the reference dealers are quoting
as described in (iv) above, then the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination
Date shall be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and
neither the highest nor the lowest of those quotes shall be eliminated.

     (vi) If fewer than three reference dealers selected by the Calculation
Agent are quoting as described in (iv) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest
Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of
interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

     "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc.,
or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any
other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of
displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If no page is
specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052,
for the most recent week.


                                       21

     "Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity of
the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30
years, specified in an applicable pricing supplement for which the CMT Rate
shall be calculated. If no maturity is specified on the face hereof, the
Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

     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 or, if the Maximum Interest
Rate or Minimum Interest Rate is reset in accordance with the procedures
referred to above, as determined pursuant to such procedures. The Calculation
Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon 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 New York law, as the same
may be modified by United States Federal law of general application.

     At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to
the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined,
the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset
Date.

     Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, interest payments on this
Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest
Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been
paid to but, excluding the Interest Payment Dates or Maturity Date (or any
earlier redemption date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon for any
period shall be the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the interest
factor calculated for each day in such period by the principal amount hereof
shown on Schedule I hereto for each such day; provided that for the purpose of
calculating the amount of interest payable hereon, any decrease in the
principal amount hereof attributable to an exercise of the option to terminate
the automatic extension of the maturity hereof shall be effective on and as of
the Election Date corresponding to the exercise of such option, and any
increase in the principal amount hereof shall be effective on and as of the
Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of such increase. The
interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest
rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial
Paper Rate, EURIBOR Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR (except if the
Index Currency is pounds sterling); (ii) by 365 if the Base Rate is LIBOR and
the Index Currency is pounds sterling; or (iii) by the actual number of days in
the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages
resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be
rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%) and all dollar amounts used
in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the
nearest cent (with one-half cent rounded upward). All Japanese Yen amounts used
in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next
lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency
used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two
decimal places in such currency with 0.005 being rounded upwards. The interest
rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset
on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest
rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the
Initial Interest Rate).

     This Note and all other obligations of the Issuer hereunder will
constitute part of the subordinated debt of the Issuer, will be issued under
the Subordinated Indenture and will be subordinate and junior in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated
Indenture, to all "Senior Indebtedness" of the Issuer. The Subordinated
Indenture defines "Senior Indebtedness" as obligations (other than non-recourse
obligations, the debt securities, including this Note, issued under the
Subordinated Indenture or any other obligations specifically designated as
being subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness) of, or guaranteed
or assumed by, the Issuer for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures,
notes or other similar instruments, and amendments, renewals, extensions,
modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligation.

     This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof,
is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable
only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000
in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other
than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by
applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S.
$1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified
Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of
1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon
dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such
Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the
"Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of
issuance.

     The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes and the Trustee
will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the
registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the
aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the
holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall
issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new
Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate
principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be
required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been
called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the
Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such
Note not required to be repurchased or (iii) to register the transfer of or
exchange Notes to be redeemed for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding
the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption. Notes are exchangeable at
said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal
aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such
registrations, exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the
Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange
shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the
holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any
Note


                                       23

delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or
loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

     In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be
destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or
destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and
such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be
delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note
of like tenor in exchange for this Note, but, if this Note is destroyed, lost
or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and the
Issuer that this Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon
receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and
reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the
preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the
owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

     The Subordinated Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as
defined in the Subordinated Indenture) due to the default in payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities
issued under the Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Subordinated
Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the
performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer
applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all
outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, shall have
occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than
25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting
as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all
such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and
(b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of
the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all
outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, shall have occurred
and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture
then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such
debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately,
but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults
may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, or premium,
if any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then
outstanding.

     The Subordinated Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the
consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Subordinated
Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute
supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the
rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and
the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt
security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt
security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on
redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or
amend the provisions for conversion of any currency


                                       24


<PAGE>


into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or
exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities
(other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar
adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with
the terms thereof), or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute
suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt
security so affected or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount
of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such
supplemental indenture; provided, however, that neither this Note nor the
Subordinated Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions
hereof or thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior
Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby.

     Except as set forth below, if the principal, premium, if any, or interest
on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and
such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments
hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond
the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country
issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public
institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will
be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making
such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the
date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such
date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the
euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its
option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the
holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of
such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken
pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community,
as amended by the treaty on European Union. Any payment made under such
circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an
unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such
Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published
for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on
the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate
Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business
Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange
dealers (the "Exchange Dealers") for the purchase by the quoting Exchange
Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment
date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those
holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange
Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing
quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) unless the
Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are
not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate
at its sole discretion.

     The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated,
unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.


                                       25


<PAGE>


     All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer
or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole
discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all
purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons.

     So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be
maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of
Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the
Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said
principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable
laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such
an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations
of such agencies, if any are so designated.

     With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any
Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on
any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal,
interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or
upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the
Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the
Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the
Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting
in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or
interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due.

     No provision of this Note or of the Subordinated Indenture shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time,
place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless
otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

     Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the
Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the
holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the
Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium,
if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise
in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Subordinated Indenture or
any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder,
officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any
successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer 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.

     Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., a Delaware corporation (together with
its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises
to pay to                     , or registered assignees, the principal sum
specified in Schedule I hereto on the Maturity Date specified above and to pay
interest on the principal amount hereof outstanding from time to time, from the
Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial
Interest Rate, as defined below, until the Initial Interest Reset Date
specified above, and thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance
with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until (a) the principal
hereof is paid or duly made available for payment and (b) the Interest Payment
Date immediately preceding the date on which the principal amount hereof is
reduced to zero, in each case, together with the unpaid


                                      A-2

<PAGE>


amount of interest, if any, payable on the principal amount hereof during the
period that the Issuer's obligation to pay such principal amount was evidenced
by a predecessor Note that provided for the automatic extension of the maturity
thereof (the "Renewable Note"), which amount shall be payable on the first date
succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above on which interest on this
Note is paid and shall be payable to the person receiving such interest
payment. The Issuer will pay interest hereon in arrears weekly, monthly,
quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment
Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the
first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified
above, and on the Maturity Date or any redemption date; provided, however, if
the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on
the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the
registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second
Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date or
the Maturity Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on
the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date shall be the
following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified
above is LIBOR or EURIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar
month, the Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date shall be the immediately
preceding day that is a Business Day. As used herein, "Initial Interest Rate"
means the rate of interest determined using the Spread or Spread Multiplier, as
the case may be, specified in the Renewable Note and using the Base Rate
determined in accordance with the provisions of the Renewable Note (i) on the
Interest Reset Date with respect to the Renewable Note occurring on the
Interest Accrual Date specified above or (ii) if no such Interest Reset Date
occurred on the Interest Accrual Date, on the Interest Reset Date with respect
to the Renewable Note occurring immediately preceding the Interest Accrual
Date.

     Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has
been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date,
until the earlier of (a) the date on which the principal hereof has been paid
or duly made available for payment and (b) the Interest Payment Date
immediately preceding the date on which the principal amount hereof is reduced
to zero in accordance with the provisions set forth below. The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in
whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the
close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment
Date (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date, a "Record Date");
provided, however, that interest payable at maturity will be payable to the
person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

     On any date following the Original Issue Date and prior to the Record Date
immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the holder hereof may, with the
consent of the Issuer, exchange this Note or any portion hereof having a
principal amount of $1,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof
for an interest in the Renewable Note equal to the principal amount hereof so
exchanged by delivering to the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof,
(i) this Note with the form entitled "Request to Exchange" below duly completed
or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of
a national securities exchange or the National Association


                                      A-3

<PAGE>


of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the
United States of America setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the
principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description
of this Note's tenor or terms, a statement that a request to exchange is being
made thereby, the principal amount hereof with respect to which such request is
being made and a guarantee that this Note with the form entitled "Request to
Exchange" below duly completed will be received by the Paying Agent no later
than five Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter; provided that such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter shall not be effective unless this Note and such form
duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day.
Such exchange may occur with respect to less than the entire principal amount
hereof provided that the principal amount for which such exchange does not
occur is at least $1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a request to exchange all or a portion
of this Note for an interest in the Renewable Note may not be made during the
period from and including a Record Date to but excluding the immediately
succeeding Interest Payment Date. If a request to exchange any portion hereof
is granted by the Issuer, then, on the date of such exchange, Schedule I hereto
shall be annotated to reflect the corresponding decrease in the principal
amount hereof, and Schedule I to the Renewable Note shall be annotated to
reflect the corresponding increase in the principal amount thereof.

       Payment of the principal, premium, if any, and the interest due at
maturity on this Note (or any redemption date), unless this Note is denominated
in a Specified Currency other than U.S. Dollars and is to be paid in whole or
in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds
upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent
maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
or at the office or agency of such other paying agent as the Issuer may
determine in U.S. dollars. U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than
interest due at maturity or any date of redemption, will be made by United
States dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as
such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000
(or the equivalent in a Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal
amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is
paid in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest, other
than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been
received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to
the applicable Interest Payment Date.

      If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S.
dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment
in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of
principal, premium, if any, or interest with regard to this Note will be made
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the
holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire
transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing [not
less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date]4 [, with
respect to payments of interest, on or prior to the fifth Business Day after
the applicable Record Date and, with respect to payments of principal or any
premium, at least ten Business Days

prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may
be]5; provided that, if payment of interest, principal or any premium with
regard to this Note is payable in euro, the account must be a euro account in a
country for which the euro is the lawful currency, provided, further, that], if
such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by
check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register, and
provided, further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and
the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be
made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the
preceding paragraph.

     5 Applies only for a Registered Global Security.

     If so indicated on the face hereof, the holder of this Note, if
denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to
receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by
transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the fifth
Business Day after such Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the
Maturity Date or any redemption date, as the case may be. Such election shall
remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying
Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business
Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date,
for payments of interest, or any redemption date, for payments of principal, as
the case may be.

     If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal
or premium, if any, and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified
Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent will
convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election,
payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as
determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The
City of New York 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 (one of which may
be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of
the Issuer) for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the
Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the
Specified Currency payable in the absence of such an election to such holder
and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid
quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified
Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note
by deductions from such payments.

     If this Note ceases to be held by The Depository Trust Company or its
successor or the nominee of The Depository Trust Company or its successor, this
Note will be exchanged for one or more Notes of authorized denominations having
an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note as
then shown on Schedule I hereto, which new Notes shall otherwise have the same
terms as this Note, except that the provisions of such new Notes regarding the
exchange thereof for an interest in a note providing for the automatic
extension of the maturity thereof (a "New Renewable Note") shall be modified to
the extent appropriate for notes not required to be held in a securities
depositary; provided that the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer
and the holders of such new Notes shall be the same in all material respects as
the respective rights and


                                      A-5

<PAGE>


obligations of the Issuer and the holder of this Note. The terms of the New
Renewable Note shall be the same as the terms of the Renewable Note, except
that the principal amount thereof shall equal the principal amount of the new
Notes exchanged therefor and the provisions of such New Renewable Notes
regarding the automatic extension of the maturity thereof shall be modified to
the extent appropriate for notes not required to be held in a securities
depositary; provided that the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer
and the holders of such New Renewable Notes shall be the same in all material
respects as the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holder
of the Renewable Note. Such new Notes shall have stated principal amounts and
shall be registered in the names of the persons then having a beneficial
interest in this Note or in the names of their nominees.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth
on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same effect as if set forth at this place, including, without limitation, the
provisions relating to the subordination of this Note to the Issuer's Senior
Indebtedness, as defined on the reverse hereof.

     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Authenticating Agent referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature,
this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Subordinated
Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose.

                         [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Subordinated Global
Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the
date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under an
Amended and Restated Subordinated Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1999, between
the Issuer and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee (the "Trustee,"
which term includes any successor trustee under the Subordinated Indenture) (as
may be amended or supplemented and as further supplemented from time to time,
the "Subordinated Indenture"), to which Subordinated Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer,
the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are,
and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Trustee has appointed The Chase
Manhattan Bank as Authenticating Agent (the "Authenticating Agent," which term
includes any successor authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee) with
respect to the Notes, and the Issuer has appointed The Chase Manhattan Bank at
its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the
"Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent
appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual
Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue
dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Subordinated
Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the
Subordinated Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

     Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof
in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraph, will not be
redeemable prior to maturity.

     This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the
applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face
hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus
or minus the Spread, if any, or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if
any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset
Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is
payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date (as used herein, the term
"Interest Reset Date" shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The
determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any
Interest Reset Date shall be made, on the Interest Determination Date (as
defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates
will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided,
however, that (a) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest
Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof
will be the Initial Interest Rate and (b) unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately
prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth
calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment date. If any
Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such
Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a
Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is
LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such
Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. As used
herein, "Business Day"


                                      A-8

<PAGE>


means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (a) that is neither a legal
holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by
law or regulation to close (x) in The City of New York or (y) if this Note is
denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, euro or Australian
dollars, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified
Currency, or (z) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney
and (b) if this Note is denominated in euro, that is also a day on which the
Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System
("TARGET") is operating (a "TARGET Settlement Day").

     If so indicated on the face of this Note, the Issuer may from time to time
offer to reset the Spread or Spread Multiplier, as the case may be, on the
Renewable Note by causing the Paying Agent to send to the holder hereof a
notice (an "Optional Exchange Notice") by first class mail, postage prepaid, or
by such other means as shall be agreed between the Issuer and the Paying Agent,
setting forth (a) the new Spread or Spread Multiplier to be applied to the
Renewable Note, together with any change in the Maximum Interest Rate or
Minimum Interest Rate, and (b) the date, if any, on which such offer will
expire. In order to accept such offer, the holder hereof must exchange this
Note in whole or in part for an interest in the Renewable Note in accordance
with the third paragraph on the face of this Note by delivering to the Paying
Agent the notice referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of such paragraph prior to
the earlier of the expiration date, if any, of such offer and the Record Date
immediately preceding the Maturity Date.

     The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for
Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CD Rate, Commercial Paper
Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business
Day next preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date
pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by
reference to EURIBOR (or to LIBOR when the Index Currency is euros) shall be
the second TARGET Settlement Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. The
Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes
bearing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR (other than for LIBOR Notes
for which the Index Currency is euros) shall be the second London Banking Day
preceding such Interest Reset Date except that the Interest Determination Date
pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a LIBOR Note for which the Index
Currency is pounds Sterling will be such Interest Reset Date. As used herein,
"London Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in the Index
Currency (as defined herein) are transacted in the London interbank market. The
Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes
bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day
of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills
normally would be auctioned; provided, however, that if as a result of a legal
holiday an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest
Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding
Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest
Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business
Day following the date of such auction.

     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date"
pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the
tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is
not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii)


                                      A-9

<PAGE>


the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity
Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any
redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

     Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is
the "CD Rate," for any Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate with respect to
this Note shall be the rate on that date for negotiable certificates of deposit
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release
H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or any successor publication of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)") under the heading "CDs
(Secondary Market)."

     The following procedures shall be followed if the CD Rate cannot be
determined as described above:

     (i) If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 9:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the Calculation Date, the CD Rate shall be the rate on that
Interest Determination Date set forth in the daily update of H.15(519),
available through the world wide website of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System at http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or any
successor site or publication ("H.15 Daily Update") for the Interest
Determination Date for certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof, under the caption "CDs (Secondary Market)."

     (ii) If the above rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the

<PAGE>


     The following procedures shall be followed if the CMT Rate cannot be
determined as described above:

     (i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if
not displayed by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation
Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519).

     (ii) If the above rate is no longer published, or if not published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate
shall be the Treasury Constant Maturity Rate for the Designated CMT Maturity
Index or other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity

mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30
p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported,
according to their written records, by three leading primary United States
government securities dealers ("Reference Dealers") in The City of New York,
which may include an agent or other affiliates of the Issuer, selected by the
Calculation Agent as described in the following sentence. The Calculation Agent
shall select five reference dealers (after consultation with the Issuer) and
shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations
of the United States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of
approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to
maturity of not less than that Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If
two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining
terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the
quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall
be used.

     (iv) If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three Treasury Notes
quotations as described in (iii) above, the Calculation Agent shall determine
the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the
secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City
time, on the Interest Determination Date of three reference dealers in The City
of New York, selected using the same method described in (iii) above, for
Treasury Notes with an original maturity equal to the number of years closest
to but not less than the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to
maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at
least $100,000,000.


                                      A-17

<PAGE>


     (v) If three or four (and not five) of the reference dealers are quoting
as described in (iv) above, then the CMT Rate shall be based on the arithmetic
mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of
those quotes shall be eliminated.

     (vi) If fewer than three reference dealers selected by the Calculation
Agent are quoting as described in (iv) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest
Determination Date shall remain the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of
interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

     "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc.,
or any successor service, on the page designated on the face hereof or any
other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of

     "Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity of
the U.S. Treasury securities, which is either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30

Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years.

     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 hereon 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 New York law, as the same may be
modified by United States Federal law of general application.

     At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to
the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined,
the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset
Date.

     Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, interest payments on this
Note shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Interest
Accrual Date or from and including the last date to which interest has been
paid to but, excluding the Interest Payment Dates or Maturity Date, as the case
may be. Accrued interest hereon for any period shall be the sum of the products
obtained by multiplying the interest factor calculated for each day in such
period by the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule I hereto for each such
day; provided that for the purpose of calculating the amount of interest
payable hereon, any decrease in the principal amount hereof attributable to an
exchange of a portion of this Note for an interest in the Renewable Note shall
be effective on and as of the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the
date of such decrease. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed
by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base
Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate
or LIBOR (except if the Index Currency is pounds sterling); (ii) by 365 if the
Base


                                      A-18

<PAGE>


Rate is LIBOR and the Index Currency is pounds sterling; or (iii) by the actual
number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT
Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on
this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth
of a percentage point (with 0.000005% being rounded up to 0.00001%) and all
dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be
rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent rounded upward). All Japanese
Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded
downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated
in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be
rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency with 0.005 being
rounded upwards. The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be
the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any
other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset
Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

     This Note and all other obligations of the Issuer hereunder will
constitute part of the subordinated debt of the Issuer, will be issued under
the Subordinated Indenture and will be subordinate and junior in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated
Indenture, to all "Senior Indebtedness" of the Issuer. The Subordinated
Indenture defines "Senior Indebtedness" as obligations (other than non-recourse
obligations, the debt securities, including this Note, issued under the
Subordinated Indenture or any other obligations specifically designated as
being subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness) of, or guaranteed
or assumed by, the Issuer for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures,
notes or other similar instruments, and amendments, renewals, extensions,
modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligation.

     This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof,
is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable
only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000
in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other
than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by
applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S.
$1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified
Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of
1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon
dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of such
Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the
"Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of
issuance.

     The Chase Manhattan Bank has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the
"Registrar," which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the
Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York
a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be
transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note
for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof
in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in
exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and
having a like

aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not
be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been
called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the
Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such
Note not required to be repurchased or (iii) to register the transfer of or
exchange Notes to be redeemed for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding
the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption. Notes are exchangeable at
said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal
aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such
registrations, exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the
Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange
shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the
holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any
Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no
gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer.

     In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be
destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or
destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and
such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be
delivered to the Registrar, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note
of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for this Note, but, if
this Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Registrar and the Issuer that this Note was destroyed or
lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to
each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring
such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new
Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed,
lost or stolen.

     The Subordinated Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default (as
defined in the Subordinated Indenture) due to the default in payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities
issued under the Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Subordinated
Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the
performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer
applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all
outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, shall have
occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than
25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting
as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all
such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and
(b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of
the covenants or agreements in the Subordinated Indenture applicable to all
outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, shall have occurred
and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture
then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such


                                      A-20

<PAGE>


debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately,
but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults
may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal, premium, if
any, or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then
outstanding.

     If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Tax Redemption
and Payment of Additional Amounts," this Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at
the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a
notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed
for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or
amendment to the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of
the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof
or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the
application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which
change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Initial Offering Date
hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as
defined below) with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the
giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall
deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to
effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the
conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and
(ii) an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such
effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of
redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on
which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment
in respect of this Note were then due.

     Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period
specified on face hereof, which date and the applicable redemption price will
be specified in the Notice.

     If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Tax Redemption
and Payment of Additional Amounts," the Issuer will, subject to certain
exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the
"Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note who is a United States Alien
as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and
interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after
withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or
governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United
States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein),
will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and
payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required to make any payment of
Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account of:

          (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would
     not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or
     former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor,
     beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an
     estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States and
     its possessions, including, without limitation, such holder (or such
     fiduciary, settlor,


                                      A-21

<PAGE>


     beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or
     resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or
     present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment
     therein or (ii) the presentation by the holder of this Note for payment on
     a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due
     and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for,
     whichever occurs later;

          (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal
     property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

          (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by
     reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding
     company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign
     corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the
     United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid
     United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other
     tax-exempt organization;

          (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable
     otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of this Note;

          (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be
     withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest
     on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any
     other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe;

          (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
     have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification,
     information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality,
     residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note, if
     such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United
     States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
     therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment
     or other governmental charge;

          (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by
     reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or
     constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of
     all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or
     indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

          (h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g);

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note
to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the
sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be
required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision
thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or
settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a
beneficial owner who would not have


                                      A-22

<PAGE>


been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member
or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note.

     The Subordinated Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the
consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Subordinated
Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute
supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the
rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and
the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt
security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt
security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on
redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or
amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or
modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security
for securities of the Issuer or other entities (other than as provided in the
antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt
securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or impair or
affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof
without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected or (b)
reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the
consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental
indenture; provided, however, that neither this Note nor the Subordinated
Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions hereof or
thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then
outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby.

     Except as set forth below, if the principal, premium, if any, or interest
on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and
such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments
hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond
the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country
issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public
institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will
be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making
such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the
date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such
date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the
euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its
option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the
holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Note denominated in such currency in euro in conformity with
legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty
establishing the European Community, as amended by the treaty on European
Union. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if
applicable, euro) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other
than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market
Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a
particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the
highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate
Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business
Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange
dealers (the "Exchange Dealers") for the


                                      A-23

<PAGE>


purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S.
dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the
Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and
at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of
the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent (as
defined below) unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If
those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine
the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

     The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated,
unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

     All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer
or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole
discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all
purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons, if any.

     So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be
maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of
Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the
Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said
principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable
laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such
an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations
of such agencies, if any are so designated.

     With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any
Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on
any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal,
interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or
upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent
shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the
Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the
Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the
Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting
in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or
interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due.

     No provision of this Note or of the Subordinated Indenture shall alter or
impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time,
place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless
otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

     Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the
Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the
holder in whose name this Note is registered as


                                      A-24

<PAGE>


the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and
none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice
to the contrary.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium,
if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise
in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Subordinated Indenture or
any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder,
officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any
successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer 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.

     This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

     As used herein, the term "United States Alien" means any person who, for
United States federal income tax purposes, is a foreign corporation, a
non-resident alien individual, a non-resident alien fiduciary of a foreign
estate or trust, or a foreign partnership one or more of the members of which
is a foreign corporation, a non-resident alien individual or a non-resident
alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.

     All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Subordinated
Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Subordinated Indenture.
