CATERPILLAR FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATION


MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES G


(Fixed Rate)








This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of April 15, 1985, as supplemented from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as successor Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof.  The Notes of this series may be denominated in different currencies, bear different dates, mature at different times and bear interest at different rates.





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





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





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





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





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





If the Company has the option to extend the Stated Maturity of this Note for one or more periods (each an “Extension Period”) up to but not beyond a date (the “Final Maturity Date”) set forth on the face hereof, such option






5


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





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





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





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





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

hereof, provided that the principal amount, if any, of this Note that remains outstanding after such repayment is an Authorized Denomination as defined herein.





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





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





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





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





If payment on this Note is required to be made in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars and such currency is unavailable in the good faith judgment of the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or to other circumstances beyond the Company’s control, or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments with respect to this Note shall be made in United States dollars until such currency is again available or so used.  The amount so payable on any date in such Specified Currency shall be converted into United States dollars at a rate determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the second Business Day prior to such payment, or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, the most recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise determined in good faith by the Company if the foregoing is impracticable.





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





If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.  Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, if this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note (as defined below) and






7


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





The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time Outstanding on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.





No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.  However, the Indenture limits the Holder’s right to enforce the Indenture and this Note.





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





[Insert if the Security is a Global Security – This Note is a Global Note and shall be exchangeable for Notes registered in the names of Persons other than the Depositary with respect to this Global Note or its nominee only if (A) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Global Note or at any time ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (B) the Company in its discretion executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that this Global Note shall be exchangeable or (C) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.  If this Global Note is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for Notes issuable in Authorized Denominations (as defined below), registered in such names as such Depositary shall direct.]





The Notes of this series are issuable, in the case of Notes denominated in United States dollars, in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof (or in such other U.S. dollar authorized denomination as set forth on the face hereof) and, in the case of Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars, in the authorized denominations set forth on the face hereof (in each case, an “Authorized Denomination”).  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and as may be set forth on the face hereof, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series of like tenor of a different Authorized Denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.





8


“Business Day” means (a) with respect to any Note, any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York and (b) if the Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars, not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the principal financial center of the country issuing the Specified Currency (but if the Specified Currency is the Euro, the day must also be a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open). As used in the preceding sentence, “principal financial center” means the capital city of the country issuing the Specified Currency, except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Swiss francs and South African rand, the “principal financial center” shall be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, Zurich and Johannesburg, respectively.





No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.





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





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