        This
note certificate (the "Funding Note Certificate") represents a duly authorized funding note (the "Funding Note") of Allstate Life Global Funding, a statutory trust organized under
the laws of the State of Delaware ("Global Funding"). The Funding Note is being issued in connection with the issuance and sale by the trust specified above (the "Trust") of the trust notes identified
on Annex A to that certain series instrument to which Global Funding and the Trust are parties (the "Series Instrument") (the "Trust Notes"). The Funding Note is being issued under the Funding Note
Indenture, dated as of the date hereof (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture") between Global Funding and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as funding note
indenture trustee (including any successor, the "Funding Note Indenture Trustee"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed in the Standard
Funding Note Indenture Terms (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Standard Funding Note Indenture Terms"). 


        Subject
to the immediately following paragraph, Global Funding, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Holder or Holders of the Funding Note on the Maturity Date (as defined
below) (or on the date of redemption or repayment by Global Funding) the principal amount of the Funding Note and, if so specified above, to pay interest from time to time on the Funding Note from the
Original Issue Date specified above (the "Original Issue Date") or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for at the rate per annum determined in
accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof and as specified above, until the principal of the Funding Note is paid or made available for payment and to pay such other amounts due and owing
with respect to the Funding Note. 


        This
Funding Note Certificate shall be surrendered for cancellation by or on behalf of the Trust, and shall be cancelled by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee, immediately upon the
assignment by Global Funding to, or as directed by, the Trust of each funding agreement identified on Annex A to the Series Instrument (each, a "Funding Agreement") in accordance with the terms of the
Funding Note and the Coordination Agreement, and such cancellation shall operate as a redemption of the Funding Note. 


        On
any exchange or purchase and cancellation of the Funding Note, details of such exchange or purchase and cancellation shall be entered in the records of Global Funding. Upon any such
exchange or purchase and cancellation, the principal amount of the Funding Note shall be charged by the principal amount so exchanged or purchased and cancelled, as provided in the Standard Funding
Note Indenture Terms. 


        Unless
otherwise set forth above, if the Funding Note is subject to an Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction as specified above, the Redemption Price of the portion of the Funding Note
represented by this Funding Note Certificate shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage of the principal amount of the portion of the Funding Note represented by this Funding Note
Certificate on the Initial Redemption Date and shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date (each such date, a "Redemption Date") by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction of
such principal amount until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount. 



        The
Funding Note will mature on the earlier of the Stated Maturity Date and the Maturity Date (as defined in the Trust Notes) of the Trust Notes (the "Trust Notes Maturity Date"), unless
its principal (or, any installment of its principal) becomes due and payable prior to any such date, whether, as applicable, by the declaration of acceleration of maturity, notice of redemption at the
option of Global Funding, notice of the Holder's option to elect repayment or otherwise (the Stated Maturity Date, the Trust Notes Maturity Date or any date prior to any such date on which the Funding
Note becomes due and payable, as the case may be, are referred to as the "Maturity Date" with respect to principal of the Funding Note repayable on such date). 


3







 



        Unless
otherwise provided above and except as provided in the following paragraph, Global Funding will pay interest on each Interest Payment Date specified above, commencing with the
first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date, and on the Maturity Date; PROVIDED that any payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or other amounts to be made on any
Interest Payment Date or on a Maturity Date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, with respect to an Interest Payment Date other than the
Maturity Date, if the Funding Note is a LIBOR Note (as defined in Section 3 on the reverse hereof) and that next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 


        Unless
otherwise specified above, the interest payable on each Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date will be the amount equal to the interest accrued from and including the
immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or from and including the date of issue, if no interest has been paid, to but excluding the applicable Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an "Interest Period"). 



        Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of the Funding Note set forth on the reverse hereof and, if so specified on the face hereof, in an Addendum hereto, which further
provisions shall for all purposes have the same force and effect as if set forth on the face hereof. 


        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if an Addendum is attached hereto or "Other/Additional Provisions" apply to the Funding Note as specified above, the Funding Note shall be subject to the
terms set forth in such Addendum or such "Other/Additional Provisions." 


        The
Funding Note or the portion thereof represented by this Funding Note Certificate shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication
hereon shall have been executed by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Funding Note Indenture.

[REVERSE OF DEFINITIVE SECURITY]    
    


        SECTION 1. GENERAL. This Funding Note is being issued pursuant to the Funding Note Indenture in connection with the issuance and sale by the Trust of the Trust
Notes. The Funding Note shall be surrendered for cancellation by or on behalf of the Trust, and shall be cancelled by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee, immediately upon the assignment by Global
Funding to, or as directed by, the Trust of each Funding Agreement, and such cancellation shall operate as a redemption of the Funding Note. 


        SECTION
2. CURRENCY. The Funding Note is denominated in, and payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, if any, and other amounts in respect of, the Funding Note will be
in the Specified Currency designated on the face hereof. If the specified currency of the Funding Note is other than U.S. Dollars (or "Foreign Currency Note"), any amounts so payable by Global Funding
in the Specified Currency will be converted by the exchange rate agent designated on the face hereof (the "Exchange Rate Agent") into United States dollars for payment to the registered holders hereof
unless otherwise specified on the face hereof or a registered holder elects, in the manner described below, to receive payments in the Specified Currency. 


        If
the Specified Currency for a Foreign Currency Note is not available for any required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the control of Global Funding, Global Funding will be entitled to satisfy the obligations to the registered holders of the Foreign Currency Note by making
payments in United States dollars 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 applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by
Global Funding for the
purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for United States dollars for settlement on that payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all registered
holders of the Foreign Currency Note scheduled to receive United States dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange costs will be borne by
the relevant registered holders of the Foreign Currency Note by deductions from any payments. If three bid quotations are not available, payments will be made in the Specified Currency. 



        Registered
holders of a Foreign Currency Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, in the Specified
Currency by submitting a written request to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee at its corporate trust office in The City of New York on or prior to the applicable Regular Interest Record Date or at
least fifteen calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be. This written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission. This
election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice delivered to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee on or prior to a Regular Interest Record Date or at least fifteen calendar days prior to
the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Registered holders of a Foreign Currency Note to be held in the name of a broker or nominee should contact their broker or nominee to determine whether and how
an election to receive payments in the Specified Currency may be made. 


        Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, if the Holder hereof elects to receive payments of principal, premium, if
any, and/or interest, if any, in the Specified Currency, the Holder must notify the Funding Note Indenture Trustee of that election on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the applicable Regular
Interest Record Date or at least ten calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be. If complete instructions are received by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee on or prior to such
dates, then the Holder will receive payments in the Specified Currency. 


6







 



        Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, if payment in the Specified Currency hereon is not available to Global Funding for any required payment of principal, premium, if any,
and/or interest, if any, due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond Global Funding's control, then Global Funding will be entitled to satisfy its obligations by making
payments in United States dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate, computed by the Exchange Rate Agent as described above, on the second Business Day prior to the particular payment or, if
the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate. The "Market Exchange Rate" for a Specified Currency other than United States dollars
means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise determined) by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment in respect hereof made under such circumstances in U.S. Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Funding Note Indenture. 



        In
the event that a member state of the European Union in whose national currency the Funding Note is denominated becomes a participant member in the third stage of the European economic
and monetary union, Global Funding may on or after the date of such occurrence, without the consent of any Holder hereof, redenominate all, but not less than all, of the Principal amount of the
Funding Note represented hereby. 


        All
determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and
binding on any Holder hereof. 



        All
currency exchange costs will be borne by the Holder hereof by deduction from the payments made hereon. 


        SECTION
3. DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE AND OTHER PAYMENT PROVISIONS. 


        FIXED
RATE NOTE. If the Funding Note is designated on the face hereof as a "Fixed Rate Note," the Funding Note will bear interest from the Original Issue Date until the Maturity Date.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the rate of interest payable on the Funding Note will not be adjusted; unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest will be payable on the
Interest Payment Dates set forth on the face hereof and at the Maturity Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date of a Fixed Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, any payments of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest or other amounts required to be made, may
be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of the payment made on that next succeeding Business Day. 


        DISCOUNT
NOTE. If the Funding Note is designated on the face hereof as a "Discount Note" (as defined below), payments in respect of the Funding Note shall be made as set forth on the
face hereof. In the event a Discount Note is redeemed, repaid or accelerated, the amount payable to the Holder of the Discount Note on the Maturity Date will be equal to the sum of (1) the
Issue Price (increased by any accruals of discount) and, in the event of any redemption of the Discount Note, if applicable, multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable); and (2) any unpaid interest accrued on the Discount Note to the date of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity, as applicable. For
purposes of determining the amount of discount that has accrued as of any date on which a redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity of the Funding Note occurs for a Discount Note, the discount
will be accrued using a constant yield method. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the
Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates for a Discount Note (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), a coupon rate equal to the
initial coupon rate applicable to a Discount Note and 


7







 



an
assumption that the maturity of such Discount Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the date of issue to the first Interest Payment Date for a Discount Note (the "Initial Period") is
shorter than the compounding period for such Discount Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding
period, then the period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence. The Funding Note is a "Discount
Note" if its Issue Price is less than 100% of the principal amount thereof by more than a percentage equal to the product of 0.25% and the number of full years to the Stated Maturity Date. 


        AMORTIZING
NOTE. If the Funding Note is specified on the face hereof as an "Amortizing Note," the Funding Note shall bear interest at the rate set forth on the face hereof, and payments
of principal and interest shall be made as set forth on the face hereof and/or in accordance with SCHEDULE I attached hereto. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest on the Funding
Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Payments with respect to an Amortizing Note will be applied first to interest due and payable on
the Funding Note and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount of the Funding Note. 



        FLOATING
RATE NOTE. If the Funding Note is specified on the face hereof as a "Floating Rate Note," interest on the Funding Note shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this
Section 3. A Floating Rate Note may be a CD Rate Note, CMT Rate Note, Commercial Paper Rate Note, Constant Maturity Swap Rate Note, Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Note, Federal Funds Open
Rate Note, Federal Funds Rate Note, LIBOR Note, EURIBOR Note, Prime Rate Note or Treasury Rate Note. If the Funding Note is designated on the face hereof as a Floating Rate Note, the face hereof will
specify whether the Funding Note is a Regular Floating Rate Note, Inverse Floating Rate Note or Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note. For the period from the date of issue to, but not including, the first
Interest Reset Date set forth on the face hereof, the interest rate hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate specified on the face hereof. Thereafter, the interest rate hereon will be reset as of and
be effective as of each Interest Reset Date. 



	(A)
	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 day that is a Business Day; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if the Funding Note is a LIBOR Note and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Reset
Date.



	(B)
	Unless
specified otherwise on the face hereof, Interest Reset Dates are as follows: (1) if the Funding Note resets daily, each Business Day, (2) if the Funding Note
resets weekly, other than Treasury Rate Note, the Wednesday of each week, (3) if the Funding Note is a Treasury Rate Note that resets weekly, and except as provided below under "Treasury Rate
Note," the Tuesday of each week, (4) if the Funding Note resets monthly, the third Wednesday of each month, unless the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate is the Interest Rate Basis (as
defined below) applicable to the Funding Note, in which case the Funding Note will reset the first calendar day of the month, (5) if the Funding Note resets quarterly, the third Wednesday of
March, June, September and December of each year, (6) if the Funding Note resets semiannually, the third Wednesday of each of the two months specified on the face hereof and (7) if the
Funding Note resets annually, the third Wednesday of the month specified each year; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that with respect to a Floating Rate/ Fixed Rate Note, the rate of interest thereon will not
reset after the particular Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified on the face hereof (the "Fixed Rate Commencement Date").



	(C)
	Accrued
interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the Floating Rate Note by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor is computed by adding the
interest factor calculated for each day in the particular Interest Period. The interest factor for each 



8







 


day
will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of
Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Open Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the case of a Floating
Rate Note as to which the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis. In the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate is the Interest Rate
Basis, the interest factor will be computed by dividing the number of days in the interest period by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12
30-day months (unless (i) the last day of the interest period is the 31st day of a month but the first day of the interest period is a day other than the
30th or 31st day of a month, in which case the month that includes that last day shall not be considered to be shortened to a 30-day month, or (ii) the
last day of the interest period is the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month)). The interest
factor for a Floating Rate Note as to which the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the
applicable Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof applied. The interest rate shall be set forth on the face hereof. For purposes of making the foregoing calculation, the interest rate in
effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on that date. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate that is effective on the applicable Interest Reset
Date will be determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date and calculated on the applicable Funding Note Calculation Date (as defined below). "Funding Note Calculation Date" means the date
by which the Funding Note Calculation Agent designated on the face hereof, is to calculate the interest rate which will be the earlier of (1) the tenth calendar day after the particular
Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day; or (2) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the
Maturity Date, as the case may be. 



	(D)
	Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, all percentages resulting from any calculation on a Floating Rate Note will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation on a Floating Rate Note will be rounded, in
the case of United States dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a foreign currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards). 




        Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof and except as provided below, interest will be payable as follows: (1) if the Interest Reset Date for the Funding Note is daily,
weekly or monthly, interest will be payable on the third Wednesday of each month or on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year, as specified on the face hereof,
(2) if the Interest Reset Date for the Funding Note is quarterly, interest will be payable on the third Wednesday of March, June, September, and December of each year, (3) if the
Interest Reset Date for the Funding Note is semiannually, interest will be payable on the third Wednesday of each of two months specified on the face hereof of
each year, (4) if the Interest Reset Date for the Funding Note is annually, interest will be payable on the third Wednesday of the month specified on the face hereof of each year. In each of
these cases, interest will also be payable on the Maturity Date. 


        If
specified on the face hereof, the Funding Note may have either or both of a Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate. If a Maximum Interest Rate is so designated, the interest
rate that may accrue during any Interest Period for a Floating Rate Note cannot ever exceed such Maximum Interest Rate and in the event that the interest rate on any Interest Reset Date would exceed
such Maximum Interest Rate (as if no Maximum Interest Rate were in effect) then the interest rate on such Interest Reset Date shall be the Maximum Interest Rate. If a Minimum Interest Rate is so
designated, 


9







 



the
interest rate that may accrue during any Interest Period for a Floating Rate Note cannot ever be less than such Minimum Interest Rate and in the event that the interest rate on any Interest Reset
Date would be less than such Minimum Interest Rate (as if no Minimum Interest Rate were in effect) then the interest rate on such Interest Reset Date shall be the Minimum Interest Rate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Funding Note is designated on the face hereof as a Floating Rate Note, the interest rate on the Funding Note shall not exceed the
maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law. 


        All
determinations of interest by the Funding Note Calculation Agent designated on the face hereof will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on
the Holder of the Funding Note and neither the Funding Note Indenture Trustee nor the Funding Note Calculation Agent shall have any liability to the Holder of the Funding Note in respect of any
determination, calculation, quote or rate made or provided by the Funding Note Calculation Agent. Upon request of the Holder of the Funding Note, the Funding Note Calculation Agent will provide the
interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date with respect to the Funding Note. If the Funding Note Calculation Agent is
incapable or unwilling to act as such or if the Funding Note Calculation Agent fails duly to establish the interest rate for any interest accrual period or to calculate the interest amount or any
other requirements, Global Funding will appoint a successor to act as such in its place. The Funding Note Calculation Agent may not resign its duties until a successor has been appointed and such
successor has accepted its appointment. 


        Subject
to applicable provisions of law and except as specified herein, on each Interest Reset Date, the rate of interest on the Funding Note on and after the first Interest Reset Date
shall be the interest rate determined in accordance with the provisions of the heading below which has been designated as the Interest Rate Basis on the face hereof (the "Interest Rate Basis"), the
base rate, plus or minus the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof and/or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. 



	(A)
	CD
RATE NOTE. If the Interest Rate Basis is the CD Rate, the Funding Note shall be deemed to be a "CD Rate Note". A CD Rate Note will bear interest at the interest rate calculated
with reference to the CD Rate and the Spread or Spread Multiplier, if any. The Funding Note Calculation Agent will determine the CD Rate on each Interest Determination Date. The Interest Determination
Date is the second Business Day immediately preceding the related Interest Reset Date. "CD Rate" means the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar
certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519) (as defined below) under the caption "CDs (secondary market)", or, if not so published
by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Funding Note Calculation Date, the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of the
particular Index Maturity as published in the H.15 Daily Update (as defined below) or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate under the heading "CDs
(secondary market)". If such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Funding Note Calculation Date, then
the CD Rate will be the rate on the particular Interest Determination Date calculated by the Funding Note Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of
10:00 A.M., New York City time on that Interest Determination Date of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York (which may
include the Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Funding Note Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks for
negotiable United States certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the particular Index Maturity in an amount that is 



10







 


representative
for a single transaction in that market at that time, or, if the dealers so selected by the Funding Note Calculation Agent are not quoting as described in the preceding sentence, the CD
Rate in effect on the particular Interest Determination Date. "H.15(519)" means the weekly statistical release designated as H.15(519), or any successor publication, published by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System; and "H.15 Daily Update" means the daily update of H.15(519), available through the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at
http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/H15/update, or any successor site or publication. 



	(B)
	CMT

will bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or multiplied by the applicable Spread
Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate, as specified on the face hereof; and the
interest rate in effect commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date will be the Fixed Interest Rate, if specified on the face hereof, or, if not so specified, the interest rate in effect on the day

	INVERSE
FLOATING RATE NOTE. If the Funding Note is designated as an "Inverse Floating Rate Note" on the face hereof, the Inverse Floating Rate shall be equal to the Fixed Interest
Rate minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest on an Inverse Floating Rate Note will not be less than zero. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on an Inverse Floating Rate Note
is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date will be the
Initial Interest Rate. 




        SECTION
4. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. If any Initial Redemption Date is specified on the face hereof, Global Funding may redeem the Funding Note prior to the Stated Maturity Date at its option
on any Business Day on or after the Date Initial Redemption in whole or from time to time in part in increments of $1,000 or any other integral multiple of an authorized denomination specified on the
face hereof at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below) together with any unpaid interest accrued on the Funding Note, any Additional Amounts and other amounts payable with respect thereto,

face hereof (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) multiplied by the unpaid principal amount of the Funding Note to be redeemed. The Initial Redemption Percentage,
if any, shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by an amount equal to the applicable Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, until the Redemption Price is equal to
100% of the unpaid amount the Funding Note to be redeemed. 


        SECTION
5. SINKING FUNDS AND AMORTIZING NOTE. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof or unless the Funding Note is an Amortizing Note, the Funding Note will not be subject to, or
entitled to the benefit of, any sinking fund. If it is specified on the face hereof that the Funding Note is
an Amortizing Note, Global Funding will make payments combining principal and interest on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the table appearing in SCHEDULE I, attached to this Funding Note
Certificate. If the Funding Note is an Amortizing Note, payments made on the Funding Note will be applied first to interest due and payable on each such payment date and then to the reduction of the
unpaid principal amount. 


        SECTION
6. OPTIONAL REPAYMENT. If so specified on the face hereof, the Holder or Holders of the Funding Note may require Global Funding to repay the Funding Note on the Optional
Repayment Date(s) specified on the face hereof, in whole or from time to time, in part, in increments of U.S.$1,000 or any other integral multiple of an authorized denomination specified on the face
hereof (PROVIDED that any remaining principal amount of the Funding Note shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or any other integral multiple of an authorized denomination specified on the face hereof), at a
repayment price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount of the Funding Note to be repaid, 


20







 



together
with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the Repayment Date (as defined below) and any other amounts then due and owing. For the Funding Note or any portion thereof to be so repaid, the
Funding Note Indenture Trustee must receive at its Corporate Trust Office not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the applicable Repayment Date, a properly completed Option to Elect
Repayment form, which is attached hereto as Annex A, forwarded by the Holder or Holders of the Funding Note. Exercise of such repayment option shall be irrevocable. As used herein, the term "Repayment
Date" shall mean the date fixed for repayment in accordance with the repayment provisions specified above. 


        SECTION
7. TAX REDEMPTION. If (i) Global Funding is required at any time to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) or if Global Funding is obligated to withhold or deduct any
United States taxes with respect to any payment under the Funding Note, as set forth in the Funding Note Certificate, or if there is a material probability that Global Funding will become obligated to
withhold or deduct any such United States taxes or otherwise pay Additional Amounts (in the opinion of independent legal counsel selected by the Funding Agreement Provider), in each case pursuant to
any change in or amendment to any United States tax laws (or any regulations or rulings thereunder) or any change in position of the Internal Revenue Service regarding the application or
interpretation thereof (including, but not limited to, the Funding Agreement Provider's or Global Funding's receipt of a written adjustment from the Internal Revenue Service in connection with an
audit) (a "Tax Event"), and (ii) the Funding Agreement Provider, pursuant to the terms of the relevant Funding Agreement, has delivered to the Owner notice that the Funding Agreement Provider
intends to terminate the relevant Funding Agreement pursuant to the terms of such Funding Agreement, then Global Funding will redeem the Funding Note on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price
together with any unpaid interest accrued thereon, any Additional Amounts and other amounts payable with respect thereto, as of the Redemption Date. 


        Unless
otherwise specified in the Funding Note Indenture or on the face hereof, Global Funding shall give a notice of such redemption to the Holder of the Funding Note to be redeemed not
more than 75 days nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, that no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest day on
which Global Funding would
become obligated to pay the applicable Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the Funding Note then due. Failure to give such notice to the Holder of any portion of the Funding Note
designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other portion of the Funding
Note. 


        SECTION
8. MODIFICATIONS AND AMENDMENTS. The Funding Note Indenture contains provisions permitting Global Funding and the Funding Note Indenture Trustee (1) without the consent of
any Holder, to execute Supplemental Funding Note Indentures for limited purposes and take other actions set forth in the Funding Note Indenture, and (2) with the consent of the Holder or
Holders of not less than 662/3% of the outstanding principal amount of the Funding Note, evidenced as provided in the Funding Note Indenture, to execute Supplemental Funding Note
Indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Funding Note Indenture or any Supplemental Funding Note Indenture or modifying in any manner
the rights of the Holder or Holders of the Funding Note subject to specified limitations. 


        SECTION
9. OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL. No reference herein to the Funding Note Indenture and no provision of the Funding Note or of the Funding Note Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of Global Funding, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, interest on, or any other amount due and owing with respect to, the Funding Note at the places, at the
respective times, at the rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 


        SECTION
10. FUNDING NOTE COLLATERAL. Pursuant to the Funding Note Indenture, Global Funding will pledge and collaterally assign the relevant Funding Agreement(s) issued by the 


21







 



Funding
Agreement Provider in connection with the issuance of the Funding Note (each, a "Funding Agreement") to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee. The Funding Note will be secured by the Security
Interest in the Funding Note Collateral in favor of the Funding Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit of each Holder of the Funding Note and each other person for whose benefit the Funding Note
Indenture Trustee is or will be holding the Funding Note Collateral (the "Secured Parties"). 


        SECTION
11. SECURITY; LIMITED RECOURSE. The Funding Note is solely the obligation of Global Funding, and will not be guaranteed by any person, including but not limited to the Funding
Agreement Provider, any Allstate Life Global Funding Trust, any Agent, the Global Funding Trust Beneficial Owner, the Delaware Trustee, the Funding Note Indenture Trustee or any of their affiliates.
Global Funding's obligations under the Funding Note will be secured by all of Global Funding's rights and title in one or more Funding Agreement(s) issued by the Funding Agreement Provider and other
rights and assets included in the applicable Funding Note Collateral. The Holder or Holders of the Funding Note have no direct contractual rights against the Funding Agreement Provider under the
Funding Agreement(s). Under the terms of each Funding Agreement, recourse rights to the Funding Agreement Provider will belong to Global Funding, its successors and permitted assignees. Global Funding
has pledged and collaterally assigned each Funding Agreement to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee and has granted the Security Interest in the Funding Note Collateral to the Funding Note
Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Recourse to the Funding Agreement Provider under each Funding Agreement will be enforceable only by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee on
behalf of the Secured Parties. 


        SECTION
12. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If one or more Events of Default, as defined in the Funding Note Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Funding Note, then,
and in every such event, unless the principal of the Funding Note shall have already become due and payable, the entire principal and premium (if any) of the Funding Note, any interest accrued
thereon, and any Additional Amounts due and owing and any other amounts payable with respect thereto, may be declared to be, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately, due and
payable; provided that, with respect to certain Events of Default, without any notice to Global Funding or any other act by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee or any Holder of the Funding Note, the
entire principal and premium (if any) of the Funding Note, any interest accrued thereon, and any Additional Amounts due and owing, and any other amounts payable with respect thereto, shall become
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind. If the Funding Note is a Discount Note, the amount of principal of the Funding Note that becomes due and
payable upon such acceleration shall be equal to the amount calculated as set forth in Section 3 hereof. 


        SECTION
13. WITHHOLDING; ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. All amounts due in respect of the Funding Note will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future
taxes, duties, levies, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any governmental authority in the United States having the power to tax
payments on the Funding Note unless the withholding or deduction is required by law. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, Global Funding will not pay any Additional Amounts to the Holders of
the Funding Note in the event that any withholding or deduction is so required by law, regulation or official interpretation thereof, and the imposition of a requirement to make any such withholding
or deduction will not give rise to any independent right or obligation to redeem or repay the Funding Note and shall not constitute an Event of Default. 


        SECTION
14. LISTING. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Funding Note will not be listed on any securities exchange. 



        SECTION
15. NO RECOURSE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Funding Note Indenture, or the Funding Note Certificate or Supplemental Funding Note Indenture, none of
the Funding Agreement Provider, its officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, or any 


22







 



of
the Delaware Trustee, the Funding Note Indenture Trustee or the Global Funding Trust Beneficial Owner, or any of their officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents (the
"Non-recourse Parties") will be personally liable for the payment of any principal, interest or any other sums at any time owing under the terms of the Funding Note. If any Event of
Default shall occur with respect to the Funding Note, the right of the Holders of the Funding Note and the Funding Note Indenture Trustee on behalf of such Holders in connection with a claim on the
Funding Note shall be limited solely to a proceeding against the Funding Note Collateral. Neither the Holders nor the Funding Note Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Holders will have the right to
proceed against the Non-recourse Parties to enforce the Funding Note (except that to the extent they exercise their rights, if any, to seize the relevant Funding Agreement, they may
enforce the relevant Funding Agreement against the Funding Agreement Provider) or for any deficiency judgment remaining after foreclosure of any property included in the Funding Note Collateral. 



        SECTION
16. GOVERNING LAW. Pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, the Funding Note shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
