Section 4.            Shares Available for Award

The number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be 1,800,000 shares of common stock; provided that no more than 900,000 shares of common stock may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options. If, after the effective date of the Plan, any Shares covered by an Award granted under the Plan, or to which any Award relates, are forfeited or if an Award otherwise terminates, expires or is cancelled prior to the delivery of all of the Shares or of other consideration issuable or payable pursuant to such Award, then the number of Shares counted against the number of Shares available under the Plan in connection with the grant of such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination, expiration or cancellation, shall again be available for granting of additional Awards under the Plan, including as Incentive Stock Options.

 

(ii)     Limitations on Awards to Individual Participants. No Participant shall be granted Awards that could result in such Participant exercising Options for, or Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to, more than 600,000 shares of common stock; or receiving Awards relating to more than 225,000 shares of common stock that are Restricted Stock or 225,000 shares of common stock that are Performance Shares under the Plan. Such number of Shares as specified in the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of Section 4(b) hereof. In all cases, determinations under this Section 4(a)(ii) shall be made in a manner that is consistent with the exemption for performance-based compensation provided by Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

-5-

 

 

(iii)     Accounting for Awards. The number of Shares covered by an Award under the Plan, or to which such Award relates, shall be counted on the date of grant of such Award against the number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan.

 

(iv)     Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards. Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury Shares.

 

(b)     Adjustments. In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee may, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares subject to the Plan and which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards under the Plan, (ii) the number and type of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant, purchase, or exercise price with respect to any Award, or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award in lieu of any such adjustment; provided, however, in each case, that with respect to Awards of Incentive Stock Options no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such authority would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto); provided further that the number of Shares subject to any Award payable or denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number; and provided further that any such adjustment (or the payment of cash in lieu thereof) to an Award that is exempt from Section 409A of the Code shall be made in manner that permits the Award to continue to be so exempt, and any adjustment (or the payment of cash in lieu thereof) to an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in a manner that complies with the provisions thereof.

 

Section 5.            Eligibility

 

Any associate of the Company or of any Affiliate, including any officer or associate-director of the Company or of any Affiliate, shall be eligible to be designated a Participant.

(i)     Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share of an Option granted pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that such exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option.

 

(ii)     Option Term. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall the term of any Incentive Stock Option exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant.

 

(iii)     Exercisability and Method of Exercise. An Option shall become exercisable in such manner and within such period or periods and in such installments or otherwise as shall be determined by the Committee, which may include, at the discretion of the Committee, the attainment of one or more Performance Goals. The Committee also shall determine the method or methods by which, and the form or forms in which payment of the exercise price with respect to any Option may be made or deemed to have been made, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price.

 

(iv)     Incentive Stock Options. The terms of any Incentive Stock Option shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, no Incentive Stock Option may be granted hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Plan by the Board.

 

(b)     Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to any Participant. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, a Stock Appreciation Right shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over (ii) the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as specified by the Committee, which shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the grant price, term, methods of exercise, methods of settlement (including whether the Participant will be paid in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof), and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined by the Committee. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate.

 

(c)     Restricted Stock Awards.

 

(i)     Issuance. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock to any Participant; provided, however, that the aggregate number of Shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan to all Participants as a group shall not exceed 600,000 shares of common stock (such number of Shares subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of Section 4(b) hereof).

 

-7-

 

 

(ii)     Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may deem appropriate.

 

(iii)     Registration. Restricted Stock may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of Shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan to a Participant, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend (as determined by the Committee) referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

 

(iv)     Payment of Restricted Stock. At the end of the applicable restriction period relating to Restricted Stock granted to a Participant, one or more stock certificates for the appropriate number of Shares, free of restrictions imposed under the Plan, shall be delivered to the Participant, or, if the Participant received stock certificates representing the Restricted Stock at the time of grant, the legends placed on such certificates shall be removed.

 

(v)     Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of employment of a Participant (as determined under criteria established by the Committee) for any reason during the applicable restriction period, all Shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the Participant; provided, however, that the Committee may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock held by a Participant; and provided further, however, that with respect to an Award of Restricted Stock that is intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, no such discretion shall be authorized to the extent that such authority would cause such Award to cease to be considered performance-based compensation.

 

(d)     Performance Shares.

 

(i)     Issuance. The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Awards of Performance Shares to any Participant.

 

(ii)     Performance Goals and Other Terms. The Committee shall determine the Performance Period, the Performance Goal or Goals (and the performance level or levels related thereto) to be achieved during any Performance Period, the proportion of payments, if any, to be made for performance between the minimum and full performance levels for any Performance Goal and, if applicable, the relative percentage weighting given to each of the selected Performance Goals, the restrictions applicable to Shares of Restricted Stock received upon payment of Performance Shares if Performance Shares are paid in such manner, and any other terms, conditions and rights relating to a grant of Performance Shares. The Committee shall have sole discretion to alter the selected Performance Goals set forth in Section 2(o), subject to shareholder approval, to the extent required to qualify the Award for the performance-based exemption provided by Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Committee determines it is advisable to grant Performance Shares which do not qualify for the performance-based exemption under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements thereof.

(iii)     Rights and Benefits During the Performance Period. The Committee may provide that, during a Performance Period, a Participant shall be paid cash amounts, with respect to each Performance Share awarded to such Participant, in the same manner, at the same time, and in the same amount paid, as a cash dividend on a Share, or may provide that such dividends be deferred and paid at the end of the Performance Period only to the extent to which the related Performance Share is earned.

 

(iv)     Payment of Performance Shares. As soon as is reasonably practicable following the end of the applicable Performance Period, and subject to the Committee certifying in writing as to the satisfaction of the requisite Performance Goal or Goals if such certification is required in order to qualify the Award for the performance-based exemption provided by Section 162(m) of the Code, one or more certificates representing the number of Shares equal to the number of Performance Shares payable shall be registered in the name of and delivered to the Participant; provided, however, that any Shares of Restricted Stock payable in connection with Performance Shares shall, pending the expiration, lapse, or waiver of the applicable restrictions, be evidenced in the manner as set forth in Section 6(c)(iii) hereof.

 

(e)     Other Awards.

 

(i)     Other Stock-Based Awards. Other awards, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Shares may be granted either alone or in addition to or in conjunction with other Awards for such consideration, if any, and in such amounts and having such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.

 

(ii)     Other Benefits. The Committee shall have the right to provide types of benefits under the Plan in addition to those specifically listed if the Committee believes that such benefits would further the purposes for which the Plan was established.

 

(f)     General.

 

(i)     No Consideration for Awards. Awards shall be granted to Participants for no cash consideration unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

(iii)     Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together.

(iv)     Forms of Payment Under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and of any applicable Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or an Affiliate upon the grant, exercise, or payment of an Award to a Participant may be made in such form or forms as the Committee shall determine, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Committee. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of interest on installment or deferred payments. Any such determination by the Committee shall be made in a manner that will enable Awards intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code to continue to be exempt, or to enable Awards intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to continue to so comply. Any deferral of amounts payable or Shares issuable hereunder shall be made pursuant to a separate written plan or other written arrangement that complies with Section 409A of the Code.

 

(v)     Limits on Transfer of Awards. No Award (other than Released Securities), and no right under any such Award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution (or, in the case of an Award of Restricted Securities, to the Company); provided, however, that a Participant at the discretion of the Committee may be entitled, in the manner established by the Committee, (A) to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise his or her rights, and to receive any property distributable, with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant; or (B) transfer any Award. No Award (other than Released Securities), and no right under any such Award, may be pledged, alienated, attached, or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment, or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.

 

(vi)     Term of Awards. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee.

 

(vii)     Share Certificates; Representation. In addition to the restrictions imposed pursuant to Section 6(c) and Section 6(d) hereof, all certificates for Shares delivered pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange or other market upon which such Shares are then listed or traded, and any applicable federal or state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. The Committee may require each Participant or other Person who acquires Shares by means of an Award originally made to a Participant to represent to the Company in writing that such Participant or other Person is acquiring the Shares without a view to the distribution thereof.

 

-10-

 

 

(viii)     Waiver of Conditions. The Committee may, in whole or in part, waive any conditions or other restrictions with respect to any Award.

 

Section 7.            Amendment and Termination; Correction of Defects and Omissions

 

(a)     Amendments to and Termination of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that shareholder approval of any amendment of the Plan shall also be obtained if the Board determines it is otherwise required by: (i) the Code or any rules promulgated thereunder (such as to allow for Incentive Stock Options to be granted under the Plan), (ii) the quotation or listing requirements of the Nasdaq National Market or any principal securities exchange or market on which the Shares are then traded (in order to maintain the quotation or listing of the Shares thereon), or (iii) any other applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to such shareholder approval as may be required above, the Committee may also amend the Plan, provided that any such amendments shall be reported to the Board.

 

(b)     Survival of Authority and Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the authority of the Board and the Committee under Section 3 (other than to grant Awards) and this Section 7 will extend beyond the date of this Plan’s termination. In addition, termination of this Plan will not affect the rights of Participants with respect to Awards previously granted to them, and all unexpired Awards will continue in force and effect after termination of this Plan except as they may lapse or be terminated by their own terms and conditions.

 

(c)     Amendment, Modification or Cancellation of Awards. Subject to the limitations of this Plan, the Committee may modify or amend any Award or Award Agreement or waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any Award or the exercise of the Award, so long as any amendment or modification does not increase the number of Shares issuable under this Plan (except as permitted by Section 4(b)); provided that the consent of the holder of the Award must be obtained if any such modification or amendment would adversely affect the rights of such individual under the Award, except that the Committee need not obtain Participant (or other interested party) consent for any change authorized pursuant to the provisions of Section 4(b), for the modification of an Award to the extent deemed necessary for the Company, the Plan, any Award or Award Agreement to comply with any applicable law or the listing requirements of any principal securities exchange or market on which the Shares are then traded, or to preserve favorable accounting treatment of any Award for the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such amendment shall be made in a manner that will enable an Award intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code to continue to be so exempt, or to enable an Award intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to continue to so comply.

 

(d)     No Repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. Except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 4(b) or adjustments made with prior approval of the Company’s shareholders, the Committee shall not have the authority to effect (i) the repricing of any outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or (ii) the modification of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or entering into a transaction or series of transactions which modification or transaction(s) would be deemed to constitute a repricing of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right. The provisions of this Section 7(d) cannot be amended unless the amendment is approved by the Company’s shareholders.

 

-11-

 

 

(e)     Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in any Award or Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect.

 

(f)     Code Section 409A. The provisions of Section 409A of the Code are incorporated herein by reference to the extent necessary for any Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code to comply therewith.

 

Section 8.            General Provisions

 

(a)     No Rights to Awards. No associate of the Company or of any Affiliate, Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of associates of the Company or of any Affiliate, Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

 

(b)     Withholding. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of a Participant for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Award, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any Federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, withholding obligations arising with respect to Awards may be settled with Shares (other than Restricted Securities), including Shares that are part of, or are received upon exercise of, the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement; provided that the Fair Market Value of the Shares used to satisfy the Participant’s withholding obligation shall not exceed the total maximum federal, state and local tax withholding obligations associated with the transaction to the extent needed to preserve favorable accounting treatment for the Company. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and any Affiliate shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for the settling of withholding obligations with Shares.

 

(c)     No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

(d)     Rights and Status of Recipients of Awards. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or any Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement. Except for rights accorded under the Plan and under any applicable Award Agreement, Participants shall have no rights as holders of Shares as a result of the granting of Awards hereunder.

 

-12-

 

 

(e)     Termination of Employment. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, for purposes of the Plan and all Awards and Award Agreements, the following rules shall apply:

 

(i)     a Participant who transfers employment between the Company and any Affiliate, or between the Company’s Affiliates, will not be considered to have terminated employment;

 

(ii)     a Participant who ceases to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate and immediately thereafter becomes a member of the Board or a member of the Board of Directors of an Affiliate, or a consultant to the Company or any Affiliate shall not be considered to have terminated employment until such Participant’s service as a director of, or consultant to, the Company and its Affiliates has ceased; and

 

(iii)     a Participant employed by an Affiliate or who is a member of the Board of Directors of an Affiliate will be considered to have terminated employment when such entity ceases to be an Affiliate.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, if a Participant’s termination of employment triggers the payment of compensation or the delivery or vesting of Shares under such Award, then the Participant will be deemed to have terminated employment upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.

 

(f)     No Compensation for Benefit Plans. No amount payable or the value of Shares deliverable under this Plan shall be deemed salary or compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under any benefit plan or other arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate for the benefit of its associates unless the Company or appropriate Affiliate shall determine otherwise.

 

(g)     Approval of Material Terms of Performance Goals. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if so determined by the Board, the Plan provisions specifying the material terms of the Plan’s performance goals (within the meaning of Code Section 162(m)) shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for re-approval no later than the first shareholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which shareholders previously approved such Plan provisions.

 

(h)     Unfunded Status of the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Plan shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. The Plan shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other Person. To the extent any Person holds any right by virtue of a grant under the Plan, such right (unless otherwise determined by the Committee) shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

 

-13-

 

 

(i)     Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Nebraska without reference to conflict of law principles thereof and applicable Federal law.

 

(j)     Time Limitation on Claims. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Plan, any Award or any Award agreement, must be brought within one year (365 days) after the day the complaining party first knew or should have known of the events giving rise to the complaint.

 

(k)     Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan, any Award Agreement or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan, any Award Agreement or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person, or Award, and the remainder of the Plan, any such Award Agreement and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(l)     No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares or other securities shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan, any Award Agreement or any Award, and the Committee shall determine (except as otherwise provided in the Plan) whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or other securities, or whether such fractional Shares or other securities or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.

 

(m)     Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

 

Section 9.            Effective Date of the Plan

 

The Plan shall be effective on the day of its adoption by the Board, February 9, 2006, subject to the approval and ratification of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company within twelve months of the effective date, and any and all Awards made under the Plan prior to such approval shall be subject to such approval.

Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc., a corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the Principal Amount specified above, as revised by the Schedule of Increases and Decreases in Global Note attached hereto, on the Maturity Date specified above and to pay to the registered holder of this Note (the “Holder”) interest on said Principal Amount at a rate per annum specified above and upon the terms provided below under either the heading “Provisions Applicable to Fixed Rate Notes Only” or “Provisions Applicable to Floating Rate Notes Only.”
This Note is one of the Company’s duly authorized issue of notes in the series titled 3.550% Medium-Term Notes due 2021 (herein referred to as the “Notes”), all issued or to be issued under an indenture, dated as of March 4, 2011 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Company, Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. (the “Guarantor”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Notes of this series are limited (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) to the aggregate principal amount established from time to time by the Company Board of Directors. The Notes of this series may be issued at various times with different maturity dates and different principal repayment provisions, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture. The Notes of this series may be subject to redemption upon notice and in accordance with the provisions of this Note and the Indenture. The Company and the Guarantor may defease the Notes of this series in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
To secure the due and punctual payment of principal, any premium, any interest and Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture) on this Note by the Company under the Indenture, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Maturity Date, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, the Guarantor has unconditionally guaranteed this Note pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee endorsed hereon and in Section 1401 of the Indenture (the “Guarantee”).

As used herein, the term “Business Day” means 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; provided, however, that if a Specified Currency is specified above, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center (as defined below) of the country issuing such Specified Currency or, if such Specified Currency is the Euro, the day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open; provided further that if LIBOR is indicated above to be an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the day is also a London Banking Day (as defined below).
“Principal Financial Center” means, unless otherwise provided in this Note, the capital city of the country issuing the Specified Currency; except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” will be the City of New York, Sydney and (solely in the case of the Specified Currency) Melbourne, Toronto, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.
“London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in U.S. dollars, in London.
Provisions Applicable To Fixed Rate Notes Only:
If the “Fixed Rate” line above is checked, unless otherwise specified above, the Company will pay interest semiannually on May 21 and November 21 of each year (each such date fixed for the payment of interest, an “Interest Payment Date”) commencing on November 21, 2018, and ending on the Maturity Date or upon earlier redemption or repayment to the person to whom principal is payable. Interest shall accrue from the Original Issue Date, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on this Note to, but excluding, the next following Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, or earlier date of redemption or repayment, as the case may be. Interest on Fixed Rate Notes will be computed by the Company on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or the date of earlier redemption or repayment) of this Fixed Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or the date of earlier redemption or repayment), as the case may be.
Provisions Applicable To Floating Rate Notes Only:
If the “Floating Rate” line above is checked, the Company will pay interest on the Interest Payment Dates shown specified above at the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the first Interest Reset Date specified above following the Original Issue Date specified above and thereafter at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions hereinafter set forth under the headings “Determination of CD Rate,” “Determination of CMT Rate,” “Determination of Commercial Paper Rate,” “Determination of Federal Funds Rate,” “Determination of LIBOR,” 

7

“Determination of Prime Rate” or “Determination of Treasury Rate,” depending on whether the Interest Rate Basis is the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, the Prime Rate, the Treasury Rate or other Interest Rate Basis.
An interest payment shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Original Issue Date, or from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, to, but excluding, the next following Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be (an “Interest Period”). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, 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 above.
If any Interest Payment Date for any Floating Rate Note, other than an Interest Payment Date at maturity, would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be the following day that is a Business Day, and interest will continue to accrue to the following Business Day, except that if LIBOR is the applicable Interest Rate Basis, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. If the Maturity Date (or date of earlier redemption or repayment) of any Floating Rate Note would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal (and premium, if any) may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the Maturity Date (or the date of earlier redemption or repayment).
Commencing with the first Interest Reset Date specified above following the Original Issue Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be adjusted daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually as specified above under “Interest Reset Dates.”
The interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows:
(i)    Unless the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note” or an “Inverse Floating Rate Note” or in the event either “Other Provisions” or an Addendum hereto applies, in each case, relating to a different interest rate formula, this Note shall be designated as a “Regular Floating Rate Note” and, except as set forth below or specified above under “Other Provisions” or in an Addendum hereto, shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any; in each case as specified above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified above; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.
(ii)    If the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note” then, except as set forth below or specified above under “Other Provisions” or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be 

8

reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that (y) the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing on, and including, the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified above to the Maturity Date (or date of earlier redemption or repayment) shall be the Fixed Interest Rate specified above or, if no Fixed Interest Rate is so specified, the interest rate in effect on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.
(iii)    If the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as an “Inverse Floating Rate Note” then, except as set forth below or specified above under “Other Provisions” or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest at (a) the Fixed Interest Rate specified above minus (b) the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases: 
(x)    plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or
(y)    multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above;
provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified above under “Other Provisions” or in an Addendum hereto, the interest rate hereon shall not be less than zero.  Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset on each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate set forth above.
The “Spread” is the number of basis points (one basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point) specified above to be added to or subtracted from the Interest Rate Basis for a Floating Rate Note, and the “Spread Multiplier” is the percentage specified above by which the Interest Rate Basis for such Floating Rate Note will be multiplied. Both a Spread and/or a Spread Multiplier may be applicable to the Interest Rate Basis for a particular Floating Rate Note, as set forth above.
Each such adjusted Interest Rate Basis shall be applicable on and after the Interest Reset Date to which it relates but not including the next succeeding Interest Reset Date. If any Interest Reset Date is a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that if the rate of interest on this Note shall be determined by reference to LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, if the Treasury Rate is the applicable Interest Rate Basis and the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. Subject to applicable provisions of law (including usury laws) and except as specified in this Note, on each Interest Reset Date, the rate of interest on this Note shall be the rate determined in accordance with the provisions of the applicable heading below.
With respect to a Floating Rate Note, accrued interest shall be calculated by multiplying the principal amount thereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor will be 

9

computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the Interest Period or from the last date from which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each such day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the cases of CD Rate Notes, Commercial Paper Rate Notes, Federal Funds Rate Notes, LIBOR Notes and Prime Rate Notes or by the actual number of days in the year, in the cases of CMT Rate Notes and Treasury Rate Notes. The interest rate applicable to any day that is an Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate effective on such Interest Reset Date. The interest rate applicable to any other day will be the interest rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate, as specified above).
The “Calculation Date,” where applicable, pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or the date of earlier redemption or repayment), as the case may be.
For Floating Rate Notes, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall be the calculation agent unless another calculation agent is specified above (the “Calculation Agent”). The interest rate applicable to each interest period will be determined by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the applicable Calculation Date. At the request of the Holder, the Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.
All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on a Floating Rate Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percent (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).
Determination of CD Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to, the CD Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “CD Rate” for each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “CD Interest Determination Date”) and shall be the rate on the applicable CD Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15(519) (as defined below) on such CD Interest Determination Date under the heading “CDs (secondary market).” If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, the CD Rate shall be the rate on the applicable CD Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15 Daily Update (as defined below), or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “CDs (secondary market).” If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, the CD Rate shall be the rate on the applicable CD Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent on the Notes as the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 

10

a.m., New York City time, on the applicable CD Interest Determination Date, of three leading non-bank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in the City of New York (which may include an agent or its affiliates) selected by the Company for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time. If the dealers selected by the Company as provided in the preceding sentence are not quoting as mentioned in such sentence, the CD Rate shall be the CD Rate in effect on the applicable CD 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.
“H.15 Daily Update” means the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or publication.
Determination of CMT Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to, the CMT Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “CMT Rate” for each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “CMT Interest Determination Date”) and shall be, if “CMT Reuters Page FRBCMT” is specified above, the percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above, as the yield is displayed on Reuters, Inc. (or any successor or similar service), on page FRBCMT (or any other page as may replace the specified page on that service under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”) (“Reuters Page FRBCMT”).  If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence does not appear on Reuters Page FRBCMT, the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be a percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above, and for the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities.”  In the event the rate referred to in the preceding sentence does not appear in H.15(519), then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be the rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date for the period of the Index Maturity specified above, as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate which would otherwise have been published in H.15(519).  In the event the rate referred to in the preceding sentence is not published, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date of three leading primary United States government securities dealers in the City of New York, which may include an agent of the Company or such agent’s affiliates (each a “Reference Dealer”), selected by the Company (from five Reference Dealers selected by the Company and eliminating 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 United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified above, a remaining term to maturity no more than 

11

one year shorter than the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in the market at that time.  If fewer than five but more than two of the prices referred to in the above sentence are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations shall be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three prices referred to above are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Company from five Reference Dealers selected by the Company and eliminating 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 United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above, and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in the market at that time. However, if fewer than five but more than two prices referred to above are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations will be eliminated. If fewer than three prices referred to above are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date.  If the CMT Reuters Page FEDCMT is specified above, the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be a percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified above, and will be the average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above, as the yield is displayed on Reuters, Inc. (or any successor service) on page FEDCMT (or any other page as may replace that specified page on that service) (“Reuters Page FEDCMT”), for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which the related CMT Interest Determination Date falls. If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence does not appear on Reuters Page FEDCMT, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be a percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above, and for the week or month, as applicable, preceding the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities.” If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence does not appear in H.15(519), then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above, as otherwise announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which the related CMT Interest Determination Date falls. If the Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not publish the rate referred to above, the rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Company (from 

12

five Reference Dealers selected by the Company and eliminating 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 United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified above, and a remaining term to maturity no more than one year shorter than the Index Maturity specified above, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in the market at that time. If fewer than five but more than two of the prices referred to above are provided as requested, the rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations shall be eliminated. If fewer than three prices referred to above are provided as requested, the rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Company (from five Reference Dealers selected by the Company and eliminating 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 United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above, and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above and will be in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in the market at that time. If fewer than five but more than two prices referred to above are provided as requested, the rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations will be eliminated, or if fewer than three prices referred to above are provided as requested, the CMT Rate will be the CMT Rate in effect on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date. If two United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity as specified above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Index Maturity specified above, the quotes for the United States Treasury security with the shorter original remaining term to maturity will be used.
Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to, the Commercial Paper Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “Commercial Paper Rate” for each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date”) and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity as indicated above, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.” In the event that such rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Money Market Yield of the Commercial Paper Rate on the applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above, published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.” If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, such rate is not yet published as provided in the preceding sentence, then the Commercial Paper Rate on the applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date shall 

13

be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in the City of New York, which may include an agent of the Company or such agent’s affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above, placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Company are not quoting offered rates as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on the applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date.
“Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:
	
			
	Money market yield  =
	D × 360
	×  100

	360 - (D × M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal; and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.
Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “Federal Funds Rate” with respect to each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the first Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “Federal Funds Interest Determination Date”) and shall be the rate on that date for United States dollar Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective),” as displayed on Reuters, Inc. (or any successor service) on page FEDFUND01 (or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service) (“Reuters Page FEDFUND01”) or, if such rate does not appear on Reuters Page FEDFUND01, or is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable Federal Funds Interest Determination Date for United States dollar Federal Funds will be the rate on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “Federal Funds (Effective).” If such rate is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar Federal Funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar Federal Funds transactions in the City of New York, which may include an agent of the Company or such agent’s affiliates, selected by the Company before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Federal Funds Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Company are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on the applicable Federal Funds Interest Determination Date.

14

Determination of LIBOR.  If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to, LIBOR, unless otherwise specified above, “LIBOR” for each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the second London Banking Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “LIBOR Interest Determination Date”) and shall be the rate (express as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity that appears on Reuters LIBOR01 at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date, or if Reuters LIBOR01 is not available on such date, the Calculation Agent will obtain such rate from Bloomberg’s page “BBAM.”  If such rate does not appear on Reuters LIBOR01 or Bloomberg’s page “BBAM” on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of four major banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Company, to provide a quotation of the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market for three‐month deposits in U.S. dollars in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If at least two such offered quotations are so provided, LIBOR determined on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, the Company will request each of three major banks in New York City, as selected by the Company, to provide a quotation of the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum), offered by it for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having a three‐month maturity in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If at least two such rates are so provided, LIBOR determined on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then LIBOR determined on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent will be the rate in effect on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date.
“Reuters LIBOR01” means the Capital Markets Report Screen LIBOR01 of Reuters, Inc. (or any successor or similar service or page), for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars.
Determination of Prime Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to, the Prime Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “Prime Rate” with respect to each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the first Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “Prime Interest Determination Date”) and shall be the rate set forth on such date as published in H.15(519) under the caption “Bank Prime Loan,” or if not so published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such Prime Interest Determination Date, then the Prime Rate. will be as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate under the caption “Bank Prime Loan,” or if not so published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such Prime Interest Determination Date, then the Prime Rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page (as defined below) as the particular 

15

bank’s prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Prime Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates are so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date as shown on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page for the Prime Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on the applicable Prime Interest Determination Date by three major banks, which may include an agent of the Company or such agent’s affiliates, in the City of New York selected by the Company. However, if the banks selected by the Company are not quoting as mentioned in the preceding sentence, the Prime Rate will be the Prime Rate in effect on the applicable Prime Interest Determination Date.
“Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page” means the display on the Reuter Money 3000 Service or any successor service on the “US PRIME 1 Page” or other page as may replace US PRIME 1 Page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks).
Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “Treasury Rate” for each Interest Reset Date will be the rate from the auction held on the applicable Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity, as specified above, as published under the caption “INVESTMENT RATE” on the display on Reuters, Inc. or any successor or similar service on page USAUCTION 10 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION 10 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION 10”) or page USAUCTION 11 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION 11”), or, if the rate is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Rate Determination Date (as defined below), the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate for the applicable Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High,” or, if the rate is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Rate Determination Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction rate of the applicable Treasury Bills announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or, if the rate is not announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified above, published in H.15(519) under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market,” or, if the rate is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Rate Determination Date, the rate on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date of the applicable Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market.” In the event that the results of the auction of Treasury Bills having the applicable Index Maturity specified above are not published or reported, as provided above, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Treasury Rate Determination 

16

Date, then the Treasury Rate on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities dealers, which may include the agent or its affiliates, selected by the Company, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Company are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate will be the Treasury Rate in effect on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date.
The “Treasury Rate Determination Date” for any Interest Reset Date will be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury Bills would normally be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except such auction may be held on the preceding Friday. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Treasury Rate Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week.
“Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:
	
			
	Bond Equivalent Yield  =
	D × N
	×  100

Provisions Applicable To Both Fixed Rate Notes And Floating Rate Notes:
The interest so payable on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions in the Indenture hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date or, if the Interest Payment Date is the Maturity Date or the date of earlier redemption or repayment, to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Maturity Date or such earlier date of redemption or repayment; provided, however, that if the Original Issue Date is between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date or on an Interest Payment Date, interest for the period from and including the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date relating to such Regular Record Date shall be paid on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to the person in whose name this Note is registered on the close of business on the Regular Record Date preceding such Interest Payment Date. If this Note bears interest at a Fixed Rate, as specified above, unless otherwise specified above, the “Regular Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be the sixth day of May and the sixth day of November, whether or not a Business Day, 

17

immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date. If this Note bears interest at a Floating Rate, as specified above, the “Regular Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be the fifteenth calendar day next preceding such Interest Payment Date, whether or not such date shall be a Business Day.
Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note due on the Maturity Date or any earlier redemption or repayment date will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Note; provided, however, that if a Specified Currency is specified above and such payment is to be made in such Specified Currency in accordance with the provisions set forth below, such payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the Holder hereof at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date or such earlier redemption or repayment date, as the case may be, provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor and that this Note is presented and surrendered at the Place of Payment specified above in time for the Trustee to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date, other than the Maturity Date or any earlier redemption or repayment date, will be made at the Place of Payment specified above.
Whenever in this Note or in the Indenture there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of, or interest, if any, on, or in respect of, the Notes, such payment shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect of such payment pursuant to the provisions hereof or thereof and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof or thereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note in United States dollars or, if a Specified Currency is indicated above, in such Specified Currency (or, if such Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of public and private debts of the country issuing such currency or, in the case of the Euro, in the member states of the European Union that have adopted the single currency in accordance with the Treaty Establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union, such other currency which is then such legal tender in such country or in the adopting member states of the European Union, as the case may be). If a Specified Currency is specified above, except as otherwise provided below, any such amounts so payable by the Company will be converted by a New York clearing house bank designated by the Company (the “Exchange Rate Agent”) into United States dollars for payment to the Holder of this Note.
If a Specified Currency is specified above, the Holder of this Note may elect to receive any amount payable hereunder in such Specified Currency. If the Holder of this Note shall not have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in such Specified Currency, any United States dollar amount to be received by the Holder of this Note will be based on the highest bid quotation in the City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 

18

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 the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for United States dollars for settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all Holders of Notes 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 Holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If three such bid quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency.
If a Specified Currency is specified above, the Holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in such Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the Trustee at the Place of Payment on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by facsimile transmission. The Holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments in the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest and need not file a separate election for each payment. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.
If a Specified Currency is specified above and the Holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in such Specified Currency, but such Specified Currency is not available for such payment due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the Holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate on or before the date on which such payment is due. The “Market Exchange Rate” for the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in the City of New York for cable transfers of 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 made in United States dollars under such circumstances shall not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture).
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Note.
In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount (or, if the Note is an Original Issue Discount Note, such lesser portion of the principal amount as may be applicable) of the Notes of 

19

this series may be declared due and payable, and, with respect to certain Events of Default, shall automatically become due and payable, in each case in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note, in the event of an acceleration of the Maturity Date hereof, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note upon such acceleration will be determined by this Note but will be an amount less than the amount payable at the Maturity Date of this Note.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities (as defined in the Indenture) of each series to be affected by such modification under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Guarantor with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (as defined in the Indenture) of each series to be affected by such modification. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof or other Authorized Denomination specified above.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered in the Security Register of this series upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Place of Payment specified above, duly endorsed by or accompanied by, a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new Note or Notes of this series of Authorized Denomination and for the same aggregate principal amount, with the Guarantee endorsed thereon, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer, exchange or redemption of the Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered in the Security Register as the owner of this Note for all purposes (other than for the determination of any Additional Amounts payable) and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
If so specified above, this Note will be redeemable at the Company’s option on the date or dates specified prior to the Maturity Date at a price or prices, each as specified above, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption. This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund. If so redeemable, the Company may redeem this Note either in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30, nor more than 60, days’ notice before the date of redemption. If less

than all of the Notes with like tenor and terms are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.
If so specified above, this Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed, and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on this Note to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, plus accrued interest on the principal amount redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption.  
If any redemption date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of the redemption price and interest will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next Business Day.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are obtained by the Quotation Agent, the average of all such quotations.
“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (and their respective successors) and (2) two other nationally recognized investment banking firms that are Primary Treasury Dealers specified from time to time by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield-to-maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for 

21

the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.
Notice of any redemption will be delivered at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to the Holder hereof at its address as such address shall appear in the Security Register of the Company, except that redemption notices may be provided more than 60 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with the defeasance or discharge of the Notes and/or the Indenture.  Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the principal amount of this Note called for redemption.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, notice of any redemption to the Holder hereof may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of redemption will describe each such condition and, if applicable, will state that, in the Company’s discretion, the date of redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed.
Subject to Section 403 of the Indenture, if an HDI Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem this Note as described above, the Company will be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth herein.  In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).
Subject to Section 403 of the Indenture, within 30 days following any HDI Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any HDI Change of Control (as defined below), but after public announcement by HDI (as defined below) of the transaction that constitutes, or would constitute upon consummation thereof, an HDI Change of Control, a notice will be delivered to Holders of the Notes describing the transaction that constitutes, or would constitute upon consummation thereof, the HDI Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice. Such date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice will, if delivered prior to the date of consummation of the HDI Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the HDI Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
If any Change of Control Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of the Change of Control Payment will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next Business Day.

22

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all such Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee such Notes properly accepted together with a Company Officers’ Certificate (as defined in the Indenture) stating the aggregate principal amount of such Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.
The Company will not be required to comply with the obligations relating to repurchasing the Notes if a third-party instead satisfies them.
The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations applicable to the repurchase of the Notes. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such compliance.
If Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes properly tender and do not validly withdraw such amount of the Notes in a Change of Control Offer, and the Company, or any third-party making an offer to purchase the Notes in connection with an HDI Change of Control Triggering Event in lieu of the Company, purchase such amount of the Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such Holders, then the Company will have the right, upon notice described above, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date, to redeem all (but not less than all) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that remains outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest on the applicable Interest Payment Date). If the redemption date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of the redemption price and interest will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next Business Day.
For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the following terms will be applicable:
“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes cease to be rated an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any day within the 60-day period after the earlier of (1) the occurrence of an HDI Change of Control and (2) the first public announcement by Harley-Davidson, Inc. (“HDI”) of the intention of HDI to effect an HDI Change of Control (which 60-day period will be extended for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible downgrade of the rating of the notes of such series); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by 

23

virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular HDI Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of HDI Change of Control Triggering Event hereunder) if any of the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s or its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable HDI Change of Control (whether or not the applicable HDI Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).  The Trustee has no obligation to monitor the ratings of the Notes for purposes of determining the occurrence of a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.
“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings, Inc. and its successors.
“HDI Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than HDI or one of its subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of HDI or other Voting Stock into which the Voting Stock of HDI is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or (2) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation or as a pledge for security purposes only), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of HDI and the assets of the subsidiaries of HDI, taken as a whole, to one or more “persons” (as that term is defined in the Indenture), other than HDI or one of its subsidiaries and other than any such transaction or series of related transactions where holders of Voting Stock of HDI outstanding immediately prior thereto hold voting stock of the transferee person representing a majority of the voting power of the transferee person’s voting stock immediately after giving effect thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to be an HDI Change of Control if (1) HDI becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Voting Stock of HDI immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.
“HDI Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both an HDI Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no HDI Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular HDI Change of Control unless and until such HDI Change of Control has actually been consummated.

24

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its successors.
“Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, and (2) if any of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch (or in each case any replacement thereof appointed pursuant to this definition) ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as defined under Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency for Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch, as the case may be; provided that the Company shall give notice of any such replacement to the Trustee.
“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. and its successors.
“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), as of any date, the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.
In lieu of Section 1005 of the Indenture, the following covenant shall apply:  
Limitation on Liens.  The Company and the Guarantor will not, nor will they permit any Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor to, issue or assume any Indebtedness secured by a Lien upon any Property (now owned or hereinafter acquired) of the Company or the Guarantor or any such Subsidiary without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the issuance or assumption of any such Indebtedness that the Notes (together with, if the Company or the Guarantor shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the Company or the Guarantor or any such Subsidiary ranking equally with the Notes then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness.  The restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence will not, however, apply if the aggregate amount of Indebtedness issued or assumed by the Company, the Guarantor or such Subsidiaries and so secured by Liens, together with all other Indebtedness of the Company, the Guarantor or such Subsidiaries which (if originally issued or assumed at such time) would otherwise be subject to such restrictions, but not including Indebtedness permitted to be secured under clauses (i) through (xiv) of the immediately following paragraph, does not at the time such secured Indebtedness is incurred exceed 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.
The restrictions set forth above shall not apply to Indebtedness secured by:
(i) Liens existing on the date of the original issuance of the Notes;

25

(ii) Liens on any Property of any company existing at the time such company becomes a Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor, which Liens are not created in contemplation of such company becoming a Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor;
(iii) Liens on any Property existing at the time such Property is acquired by the Company, the Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor, or Liens to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such Property upon the acquisition of such Property by the Company, the Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor or to secure any Indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after, the later of the date of acquisition of such Property and the date such Property is placed in service, for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof, or Liens to secure any Indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing the cost to the Company, the Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor of improvements to such acquired Property or to secure any Indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price of the cost of construction of the Property subject to such Liens;
(iv) Liens securing any Indebtedness of the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor owing to the Company, the Guarantor or to another Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor;
(v) Liens created in connection with a securitization or other asset-based financing;
(vi) Liens with respect to the payment of taxes, assessments or governmental charges in all cases which are not yet due or which are being contested in good faith;
(vii) statutory Liens of landlords and Liens of suppliers, mechanics, carriers, materialmen, warehousemen or workmen and other similar Liens imposed by law created in the ordinary course of business for amounts not yet due or which are being contested in good faith;
(viii) Liens incurred or deposits made in the ordinary course of business in connection with worker’s compensation, unemployment insurance or other types of social security benefits or to secure the performance of bids, tenders, sales, contracts (other than for the repayment of borrowed money), surety, appeal and performance bonds;
(ix) Liens arising with respect to zoning restrictions, easements, licenses, reservations, covenants, rights-of-way, utility easements, building restrictions and other similar charges or encumbrances on the use of real property which do not interfere with the ordinary conduct of the business of the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries;
(x) Liens of attachment or judgment with respect to judgments, writs or warrants of attachment, or similar process against the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries;
(xi) Liens arising from leases, subleases or licenses granted to others which do not interfere in any material respect with the business of the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries;

26

(xii) any interest or title of the lessor in the Property subject to any operating lease (as determined in accordance with GAAP as in effect as of the date of the Indenture without giving effect to any subsequent change thereto) entered into by the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;
(xiii) Liens, if any, in connection with any sale/leaseback transaction; 
(xiv) Liens on assets pledged in respect of Indebtedness that has been defeased in accordance with the provisions thereof through the deposit of cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities (it being understood that cash collateral shall be deemed to include cash deposited with a trustee with respect to third party indebtedness); and
(xv) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) - (xiv); provided, however, that such new Lien is limited to the Property which was subject to the prior Lien immediately before such extension, renewal or replacement, and provided, further, that the principal amount of Indebtedness secured by the prior Lien immediately before such extension, renewal or replacement is not increased.
The Company may “reopen” a previously issued tranche of Notes and issue additional Notes of such tranche or establish additional terms of such tranche or issue notes with the same terms as previously issued Notes (except for the Original Issue Date, Issue Price and, if applicable, the initial Interest Payment Date).
The Company may at any time purchase this Note at any price in the open market or otherwise. Notes so purchased by the Company may be held or resold or, at the discretion of the Company, may be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.
For the avoidance of doubt, Article 4 of the Indenture, including without limitation Section 403 thereof, shall apply to the Notes.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note, at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
By acceptance of this Note, the Holder hereof agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Indenture. Terms used herein which are defined in the Indenture shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture. This Note shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee under the Indenture.

Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc., a corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the Principal Amount specified above, as revised by the Schedule of Increases and Decreases in Global Note attached hereto, on the Maturity Date specified above and to pay to the registered holder of this Note (the “Holder”) interest on said Principal Amount at a rate per annum specified above and upon the terms provided below under either the heading “Provisions Applicable to Fixed Rate Notes Only” or “Provisions Applicable to Floating Rate Notes Only.”
This Note is one of the Company’s duly authorized issue of notes in the series titled 3.550% Medium-Term Notes due 2021 (herein referred to as the “Notes”), all issued or to be issued under an indenture, dated as of March 4, 2011 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Company, Harley-Davidson Credit Corp. (the “Guarantor”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Notes of this series are limited (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) to the aggregate principal amount established from time to time by the Company Board of Directors. The Notes of this series may be issued at various times with different maturity dates and different principal repayment provisions, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture. The Notes of this series may be subject to redemption upon notice and in accordance with the provisions of this Note and the Indenture. The Company and the Guarantor may defease the Notes of this series in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
To secure the due and punctual payment of principal, any premium, any interest and Additional Amounts (as defined in the Indenture) on this Note by the Company under the Indenture, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Maturity Date, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, the Guarantor has unconditionally 

11

guaranteed this Note pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee endorsed hereon and in Section 1401 of the Indenture (the “Guarantee”).
As used herein, the term “Business Day” means 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; provided, however, that if a Specified Currency is specified above, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center (as defined below) of the country issuing such Specified Currency or, if such Specified Currency is the Euro, the day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open; provided further that if LIBOR is indicated above to be an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the day is also a London Banking Day (as defined below).
“Principal Financial Center” means, unless otherwise provided in this Note, the capital city of the country issuing the Specified Currency; except that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” will be the City of New York, Sydney and (solely in the case of the Specified Currency) Melbourne, Toronto, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.
“London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in U.S. dollars, in London.
Provisions Applicable To Fixed Rate Notes Only:
If the “Fixed Rate” line above is checked, unless otherwise specified above, the Company will pay interest semiannually on May 21 and November 21 of each year (each such date fixed for the payment of interest, an “Interest Payment Date”) commencing on November 21, 2018, and ending on the Maturity Date or upon earlier redemption or repayment to the person to whom principal is payable. Interest shall accrue from the Original Issue Date, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on this Note to, but excluding, the next following Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, or earlier date of redemption or repayment, as the case may be. Interest on Fixed Rate Notes will be computed by the Company on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or the date of earlier redemption or repayment) of this Fixed Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or the date of earlier redemption or repayment), as the case may be.
Provisions Applicable To Floating Rate Notes Only:
If the “Floating Rate” line above is checked, the Company will pay interest on the Interest Payment Dates shown specified above at the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the first Interest Reset Date specified above following the Original Issue Date specified above 

12

and thereafter at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions hereinafter set forth under the headings “Determination of CD Rate,” “Determination of CMT Rate,” “Determination of Commercial Paper Rate,” “Determination of Federal Funds Rate,” “Determination of LIBOR,” “Determination of Prime Rate” or “Determination of Treasury Rate,” depending on whether the Interest Rate Basis is the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, the Prime Rate, the Treasury Rate or other Interest Rate Basis.
An interest payment shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the Original Issue Date, or from and including the last Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid, to, but excluding, the next following Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, or date of earlier redemption or repayment, as the case may be (an “Interest Period”). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, 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 above.
If any Interest Payment Date for any Floating Rate Note, other than an Interest Payment Date at maturity, would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be the following day that is a Business Day, and interest will continue to accrue to the following Business Day, except that if LIBOR is the applicable Interest Rate Basis, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. If the Maturity Date (or date of earlier redemption or repayment) of any Floating Rate Note would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal (and premium, if any) may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the Maturity Date (or the date of earlier redemption or repayment).
Commencing with the first Interest Reset Date specified above following the Original Issue Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be adjusted daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually as specified above under “Interest Reset Dates.”
The interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows:
(i)    Unless the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note” or an “Inverse Floating Rate Note” or in the event either “Other Provisions” or an Addendum hereto applies, in each case, relating to a different interest rate formula, this Note shall be designated as a “Regular Floating Rate Note” and, except as set forth below or specified above under “Other Provisions” or in an Addendum hereto, shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any; in each case as specified above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified above; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.
(ii)    If the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note” then, except as set forth below or specified above under “Other Provisions” or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the 

13

applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that (y) the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing on, and including, the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified above to the Maturity Date (or date of earlier redemption or repayment) shall be the Fixed Interest Rate specified above or, if no Fixed Interest Rate is so specified, the interest rate in effect on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.
(iii)    If the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as an “Inverse Floating Rate Note” then, except as set forth below or specified above under “Other Provisions” or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest at (a) the Fixed Interest Rate specified above minus (b) the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases: 
(x)    plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or
(y)    multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above;
provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified above under “Other Provisions” or in an Addendum hereto, the interest rate hereon shall not be less than zero.  Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset on each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate set forth above.
The “Spread” is the number of basis points (one basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point) specified above to be added to or subtracted from the Interest Rate Basis for a Floating Rate Note, and the “Spread Multiplier” is the percentage specified above by which the Interest Rate Basis for such Floating Rate Note will be multiplied. Both a Spread and/or a Spread Multiplier may be applicable to the Interest Rate Basis for a particular Floating Rate Note, as set forth above.
Each such adjusted Interest Rate Basis shall be applicable on and after the Interest Reset Date to which it relates but not including the next succeeding Interest Reset Date. If any Interest Reset Date is a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that if the rate of interest on this Note shall be determined by reference to LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, if the Treasury Rate is the applicable Interest Rate Basis and the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. Subject to applicable provisions of law (including usury laws) and except as specified in this Note, on each Interest Reset Date, the rate of interest on this Note shall be the rate determined in accordance with the provisions of the applicable heading below.

14

With respect to a Floating Rate Note, accrued interest shall be calculated by multiplying the principal amount thereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the Interest Period or from the last date from which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each such day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the cases of CD Rate Notes, Commercial Paper Rate Notes, Federal Funds Rate Notes, LIBOR Notes and Prime Rate Notes or by the actual number of days in the year, in the cases of CMT Rate Notes and Treasury Rate Notes. The interest rate applicable to any day that is an Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate effective on such Interest Reset Date. The interest rate applicable to any other day will be the interest rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate, as specified above).
The “Calculation Date,” where applicable, pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or the date of earlier redemption or repayment), as the case may be.
For Floating Rate Notes, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. shall be the calculation agent unless another calculation agent is specified above (the “Calculation Agent”). The interest rate applicable to each interest period will be determined by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the applicable Calculation Date. At the request of the Holder, the Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.
All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on a Floating Rate Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percent (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).
Determination of CD Rate.  If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to, the CD Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “CD Rate” for each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “CD Interest Determination Date”) and shall be the rate on the applicable CD Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15(519) (as defined below) on such CD Interest Determination Date under the heading “CDs (secondary market).” If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, the CD Rate shall be the rate on the applicable CD Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15 Daily Update (as defined below), or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “CDs (secondary market).” If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, the CD Rate 

15

shall be the rate on the applicable CD Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent on the Notes as the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable CD Interest Determination Date, of three leading non-bank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in the City of New York (which may include an agent or its affiliates) selected by the Company for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time. If the dealers selected by the Company as provided in the preceding sentence are not quoting as mentioned in such sentence, the CD Rate shall be the CD Rate in effect on the applicable CD 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.
“H.15 Daily Update” means the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or publication.
Determination of CMT Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to, the CMT Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “CMT Rate” for each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “CMT Interest Determination Date”) and shall be, if “CMT Reuters Page FRBCMT” is specified above, the percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above, as the yield is displayed on Reuters, Inc. (or any successor or similar service), on page FRBCMT (or any other page as may replace the specified page on that service under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities”) (“Reuters Page FRBCMT”).  If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence does not appear on Reuters Page FRBCMT, the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be a percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above, and for the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities.”  In the event the rate referred to in the preceding sentence does not appear in H.15(519), then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be the rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date for the period of the Index Maturity specified above, as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate which would otherwise have been published in H.15(519).  In the event the rate referred to in the preceding sentence is not published, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date of three leading primary United States government securities dealers in the City of New York, which may include an agent of the Company or such agent’s affiliates (each a “Reference Dealer”), selected by the Company (from five Reference Dealers selected by the Company and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest), and the lowest quotation (or, in the 

16

event of equality, one of the lowest)), for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified above, a remaining term to maturity no more than one year shorter than the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in the market at that time.  If fewer than five but more than two of the prices referred to in the above sentence are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations shall be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three prices referred to above are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Company from five Reference Dealers selected by the Company and eliminating 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 United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above, and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in the market at that time. However, if fewer than five but more than two prices referred to above are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations will be eliminated. If fewer than three prices referred to above are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date.  If the CMT Reuters Page FEDCMT is specified above, the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be a percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified above, and will be the average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above, as the yield is displayed on Reuters, Inc. (or any successor service) on page FEDCMT (or any other page as may replace that specified page on that service) (“Reuters Page FEDCMT”), for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which the related CMT Interest Determination Date falls. If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence does not appear on Reuters Page FEDCMT, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be a percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above, and for the week or month, as applicable, preceding the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities.” If the rate referred to in the preceding sentence does not appear in H.15(519), then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified above, as otherwise announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which the related CMT Interest Determination Date falls. If the Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not publish the rate referred to above, the rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the 

17

secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Company (from five Reference Dealers selected by the Company and eliminating 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 United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified above, and a remaining term to maturity no more than one year shorter than the Index Maturity specified above, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in the market at that time. If fewer than five but more than two of the prices referred to above are provided as requested, the rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations shall be eliminated. If fewer than three prices referred to above are provided as requested, the rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield-to-maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Company (from five Reference Dealers selected by the Company and eliminating 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 United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity specified above, and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above and will be in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in the market at that time. If fewer than five but more than two prices referred to above are provided as requested, the rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations will be eliminated, or if fewer than three prices referred to above are provided as requested, the CMT Rate will be the CMT Rate in effect on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date. If two United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index Maturity as specified above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Index Maturity specified above, the quotes for the United States Treasury security with the shorter original remaining term to maturity will be used.
Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to, the Commercial Paper Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “Commercial Paper Rate” for each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date”) and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity as indicated above, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.” In the event that such rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Money Market Yield of the Commercial Paper Rate on the applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above, published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.” If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable 

18

Calculation Date, such rate is not yet published as provided in the preceding sentence, then the Commercial Paper Rate on the applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in the City of New York, which may include an agent of the Company or such agent’s affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above, placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Company are not quoting offered rates as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on the applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date.
“Money Market Yield” shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:
	
			
	Money market yield  =
	D × 360
	×  100

	360 - (D × M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal; and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.
Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “Federal Funds Rate” with respect to each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the first Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “Federal Funds Interest Determination Date”) and shall be the rate on that date for United States dollar Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective),” as displayed on Reuters, Inc. (or any successor service) on page FEDFUND01 (or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service) (“Reuters Page FEDFUND01”) or, if such rate does not appear on Reuters Page FEDFUND01, or is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, the rate on the applicable Federal Funds Interest Determination Date for United States dollar Federal Funds will be the rate on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “Federal Funds (Effective).” If such rate is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United States dollar Federal Funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar Federal Funds transactions in the City of New York, which may include an agent of the Company or such agent’s affiliates, selected by the Company before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Federal Funds Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Company are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on the applicable Federal Funds Interest Determination Date.

19

Determination of LIBOR.  If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to, LIBOR, unless otherwise specified above, “LIBOR” for each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the second London Banking Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “LIBOR Interest Determination Date”) and shall be the rate (express as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity that appears on Reuters LIBOR01 at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date, or if Reuters LIBOR01 is not available on such date, the Calculation Agent will obtain such rate from Bloomberg’s page “BBAM.”  If such rate does not appear on Reuters LIBOR01 or Bloomberg’s page “BBAM” on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of four major banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Company, to provide a quotation of the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market for three‐month deposits in U.S. dollars in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If at least two such offered quotations are so provided, LIBOR determined on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, the Company will request each of three major banks in New York City, as selected by the Company, to provide a quotation of the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum), offered by it for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having a three‐month maturity in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If at least two such rates are so provided, LIBOR determined on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then LIBOR determined on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent will be the rate in effect on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date.
“Reuters LIBOR01” means the Capital Markets Report Screen LIBOR01 of Reuters, Inc. (or any successor or similar service or page), for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for U.S. dollars.
Determination of Prime Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to, the Prime Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “Prime Rate” with respect to each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the first Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a “Prime Interest Determination Date”) and shall be the rate set forth on such date as published in H.15(519) under the caption “Bank Prime Loan,” or if not so published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such Prime Interest Determination Date, then the Prime Rate. will be as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate under the caption “Bank Prime Loan,” or if not so published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such Prime Interest Determination Date, then the Prime Rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page (as defined below) as the particular 

20

bank’s prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Prime Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates are so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date as shown on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page for the Prime Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate will be determined by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on the applicable Prime Interest Determination Date by three major banks, which may include an agent of the Company or such agent’s affiliates, in the City of New York selected by the Company. However, if the banks selected by the Company are not quoting as mentioned in the preceding sentence, the Prime Rate will be the Prime Rate in effect on the applicable Prime Interest Determination Date.
“Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page” means the display on the Reuter Money 3000 Service or any successor service on the “US PRIME 1 Page” or other page as may replace US PRIME 1 Page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks).
Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate, unless otherwise specified above, the “Treasury Rate” for each Interest Reset Date will be the rate from the auction held on the applicable Interest Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity, as specified above, as published under the caption “INVESTMENT RATE” on the display on Reuters, Inc. or any successor or similar service on page USAUCTION 10 or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION 10 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION 10”) or page USAUCTION 11 on that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION 11”), or, if the rate is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Rate Determination Date (as defined below), the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate for the applicable Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High,” or, if the rate is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Rate Determination Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction rate of the applicable Treasury Bills announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or, if the rate is not announced by the United States Department of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified above, published in H.15(519) under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market,” or, if the rate is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Rate Determination Date, the rate on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date of the applicable Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market.” In the event that the results of the auction of Treasury Bills having the applicable Index Maturity specified above are not published or reported, as provided above, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Treasury Rate Determination 

21

Date, then the Treasury Rate on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date, of three primary United States government securities dealers, which may include the agent or its affiliates, selected by the Company, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Company are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate will be the Treasury Rate in effect on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date.
The “Treasury Rate Determination Date” for any Interest Reset Date will be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury Bills would normally be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except such auction may be held on the preceding Friday. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Treasury Rate Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week.
“Bond Equivalent Yield” means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula and expressed as a percentage:
	
			
	Bond Equivalent Yield  =
	D × N
	×  100

	360 - (D × M)

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal; “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.
Provisions Applicable To Both Fixed Rate Notes And Floating Rate Notes:
The interest so payable on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions in the Indenture hereinafter referred to, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date or, if the Interest Payment Date is the Maturity Date or the date of earlier redemption or repayment, to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Maturity Date or such earlier date of redemption or repayment; provided, however, that if the Original Issue Date is between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date or on an Interest Payment Date, interest for the period from and including the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date relating to such Regular Record Date shall be paid on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to the person in whose name this Note is registered on the close of business on the Regular Record Date preceding such Interest Payment Date. If this Note bears interest at a Fixed Rate, as specified above, unless otherwise specified above, the “Regular Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be the 6th day of May and the 6th day of November, whether or not a Business Day, 

22

immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date. If this Note bears interest at a Floating Rate, as specified above, the “Regular Record Date” with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be the fifteenth calendar day next preceding such Interest Payment Date, whether or not such date shall be a Business Day.
Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note due on the Maturity Date or any earlier redemption or repayment date will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Note; provided, however, that if a Specified Currency is specified above and such payment is to be made in such Specified Currency in accordance with the provisions set forth below, such payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the Holder hereof at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date or such earlier redemption or repayment date, as the case may be, provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor and that this Note is presented and surrendered at the Place of Payment specified above in time for the Trustee to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date, other than the Maturity Date or any earlier redemption or repayment date, will be made at the Place of Payment specified above.
Whenever in this Note or in the Indenture there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of, or interest, if any, on, or in respect of, the Notes, such payment shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect of such payment pursuant to the provisions hereof or thereof and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof or thereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note in United States dollars or, if a Specified Currency is indicated above, in such Specified Currency (or, if such Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of public and private debts of the country issuing such currency or, in the case of the Euro, in the member states of the European Union that have adopted the single currency in accordance with the Treaty Establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union, such other currency which is then such legal tender in such country or in the adopting member states of the European Union, as the case may be). If a Specified Currency is specified above, except as otherwise provided below, any such amounts so payable by the Company will be converted by a New York clearing house bank designated by the Company (the “Exchange Rate Agent”) into United States dollars for payment to the Holder of this Note.
If a Specified Currency is specified above, the Holder of this Note may elect to receive any amount payable hereunder in such Specified Currency. If the Holder of this Note shall not have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in such Specified Currency, any United States dollar amount to be received by the Holder of this Note will be based on the highest bid quotation in the City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 

23

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 the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for United States dollars for settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all Holders of Notes 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 Holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If three such bid quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency.
If a Specified Currency is specified above, the Holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in such Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the Trustee at the Place of Payment on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by facsimile transmission. The Holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments in the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest and need not file a separate election for each payment. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.
If a Specified Currency is specified above and the Holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in such Specified Currency, but such Specified Currency is not available for such payment due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the Holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate on or before the date on which such payment is due. The “Market Exchange Rate” for the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in the City of New York for cable transfers of 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 made in United States dollars under such circumstances shall not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture).
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder of this Note.
In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount (or, if the Note is an Original Issue Discount Note, such lesser portion of the principal amount as may be applicable) of the Notes of 

24

this series may be declared due and payable, and, with respect to certain Events of Default, shall automatically become due and payable, in each case in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note, in the event of an acceleration of the Maturity Date hereof, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note upon such acceleration will be determined by this Note but will be an amount less than the amount payable at the Maturity Date of this Note.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities (as defined in the Indenture) of each series to be affected by such modification under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Guarantor with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (as defined in the Indenture) of each series to be affected by such modification. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company and the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof or other Authorized Denomination specified above.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered in the Security Register of this series upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Place of Payment specified above, duly endorsed by or accompanied by, a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a new Note or Notes of this series of Authorized Denomination and for the same aggregate principal amount, with the Guarantee endorsed thereon, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer, exchange or redemption of the Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered in the Security Register as the owner of this Note for all purposes (other than for the determination of any Additional Amounts payable) and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
If so specified above, this Note will be redeemable at the Company’s option on the date or dates specified prior to the Maturity Date at a price or prices, each as specified above, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption. This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund. If so redeemable, the Company may redeem this Note either in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30, nor more than 60, days’ notice before the date of redemption. If less 

25

than all of the Notes with like tenor and terms are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.
If so specified above, this Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed, and (ii) as determined by the Quotation Agent (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on this Note to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, plus accrued interest on the principal amount redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption.  
If any redemption date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of the redemption price and interest will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next Business Day.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations are obtained by the Quotation Agent, the average of all such quotations.
“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (and their respective successors) and (2) two other nationally recognized investment banking firms that are Primary Treasury Dealers specified from time to time by the Company; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.
 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

26

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield-to-maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.
Notice of any redemption will be delivered at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to the Holder hereof at its address as such address shall appear in the Security Register of the Company, except that redemption notices may be provided more than 60 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with the defeasance or discharge of the Notes and/or the Indenture.  Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the principal amount of this Note called for redemption.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, notice of any redemption to the Holder hereof may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of a corporate transaction. In such event, the related notice of redemption will describe each such condition and, if applicable, will state that, in the Company’s discretion, the date of redemption may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the date of redemption, or by the date of redemption as so delayed.
Subject to Section 403 of the Indenture, if an HDI Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem this Note as described above, the Company will be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth herein.  In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).
Subject to Section 403 of the Indenture, within 30 days following any HDI Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any HDI Change of Control (as defined below), but after public announcement by HDI (as defined below) of the transaction that constitutes, or would constitute upon consummation thereof, an HDI Change of Control, a notice will be delivered to Holders of the Notes describing the transaction that constitutes, or would constitute upon consummation thereof, the HDI Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice. Such date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice will, if delivered prior to the date of consummation of the HDI Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the HDI Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
If any Change of Control Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of the Change of Control Payment will be made on the next Business Day as if it 

27

were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next Business Day.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all such Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee such Notes properly accepted together with a Company Officers’ Certificate (as defined in the Indenture) stating the aggregate principal amount of such Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.
The Company will not be required to comply with the obligations relating to repurchasing the Notes if a third-party instead satisfies them.
The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations applicable to the repurchase of the Notes. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such compliance.
If Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes properly tender and do not validly withdraw such amount of the Notes in a Change of Control Offer, and the Company, or any third-party making an offer to purchase the Notes in connection with an HDI Change of Control Triggering Event in lieu of the Company, purchase such amount of the Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such Holders, then the Company will have the right, upon notice described above, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date, to redeem all (but not less than all) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that remains outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest on the applicable Interest Payment Date). If the redemption date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of the redemption price and interest will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next Business Day.
For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the following terms will be applicable:
“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes cease to be rated an Investment Grade Rating by each of the Rating Agencies on any day within the 60-day period after the earlier of (1) the occurrence of an HDI Change of Control and (2) the first public announcement by Harley-Davidson, Inc.

28

Change of Control (which 60-day period will be extended for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has publicly announced that it is considering a possible downgrade of the rating of the notes of such series); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular HDI Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of HDI Change of Control Triggering Event hereunder) if any of the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s or its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable HDI Change of Control (whether or not the applicable HDI Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to be an HDI Change of Control if (1) HDI becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Voting Stock of HDI immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company.
“HDI Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both an HDI Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no HDI Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in

Limitation on Liens.  The Company and the Guarantor will not, nor will they permit any Subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor to, issue or assume any Indebtedness secured by a Lien upon any Property (now owned or hereinafter acquired) of the Company or the Guarantor or any such Subsidiary without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the issuance or assumption of any such Indebtedness that the Notes (together with, if the Company or the Guarantor shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the Company or the Guarantor or any such Subsidiary ranking equally with the Notes then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness.
