     National Consumer Cooperative Bank, a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of the United States (the "Issuer", 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 of        , on the Stated Maturity Date specified above (or any
Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each as defined on the reverse hereof, or any
earlier date of acceleration of maturity) (each such date being hereinafter
referred to as the "Maturity Date" with respect to the principal repayable on
such date) and to pay interest thereon (and on any overdue principal, premium
and/or interest to the extent legally enforceable) at a rate per annum equal to
the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date
specified above and thereafter at a rate determined in accordance with the
provisions specified above and on the reverse hereof or in an Addendum hereto
with respect to one or more Interest Rate Bases specified above until the
principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. The Issuer will pay
interest in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, if any, specified above
(each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing with the first Interest Payment
Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the
Maturity Date; provided, however, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between
a Regular Record Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment
Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date to the registered holder (the
"Holder") of this Note on the Regular Record Date with respect to such second
Interest Payment Date.

     Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the immediately
preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest has been
paid or duly provided for) to, but excluding, the applicable Interest Payment
Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an "Interest Period"). The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to
the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes, as defined
on the reverse hereof) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth
calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as defined below) immediately
preceding such Interest Payment Date (unless otherwise specified on the face
hereof) (the "Regular Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable on
the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof and
premium, if any, hereon shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually
paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity
Date ("Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
the close of business on any Regular Record Date and, instead, shall be paid to
the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a
special record date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee hereinafter referred to, notice
whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than
10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date or may be paid at any time in
any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided for in the Indenture.

     Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note
due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon
presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable
repayment of this Note, upon delivery of a duly completed election form as
contemplated on the reverse hereof) at the office or agency maintained by the
Issuer for that purpose in the Borough of

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

Manhattan, The City of New York, currently the office of Bank One Trust Company,
N.A. (the "Trustee"), located at 14 Wall Street, 8th Floor, New York, New York
10005, or at such other paying agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, as the Issuer may determine; provided, however, that if the Specified
Currency specified above is other than United States dollars and such payment is
to be made in the 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, provided that such bank has appropriate
facilities therefor and that this Note (and, if applicable, a duly completed
repayment election form) is presented and surrendered at the aforementioned
office or agency maintained by the Issuer 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 will be
made at the aforementioned office or agency maintained by the Issuer or, at the
option of the Issuer, by check mailed to the address of the person entitled
thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register maintained by the
Trustee; provided, however, that a Holder of U.S.$10,000,000 (or, if the
Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the equivalent thereof
in the Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes
(whether having identical or different terms and provisions) will be entitled to
receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of
immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been
received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15 calendar days prior to such
Interest Payment Date. Any such wire transfer instructions received by the
Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder.

     If any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date falls on a day
that is not a Business Day, the required payment of interest shall be made on
the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest
Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month,
such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If
the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest, shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment
was due, and no interest shall accrue from and after the Maturity Date to the
date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

     As used herein, "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday
or other day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are
authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close;
provided, however, that if the Specified Currency is other than United States
dollars, such day is also a Business Day in the Principal Financial Center (as
defined below) of the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, if the
Specified Currency is Euro, such 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 an applicable Interest Rate Basis, such day
is also a London Business Day (as defined below). "London Business Day" means a
day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London
interbank market. "Principal Financial Center" means the capital city of the
country issuing the Specified Currency except that with respect to United States
dollars, Australian dollars, Deutsche marks, Dutch guilders, Italian lire and
Swiss francs, the "Principal Financial Center" shall be The City of New York,
Sydney (and, solely with respect to the Specified Currency, Melbourne),
Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Milan, London and Zurich, respectively.

     The Issuer is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency or, (i) if such
Specified Currency (other than Euro)

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of public and
private debts, in such other coin or currency of the country which issued the
Specified Currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the
payment of such debts or, (ii) if such currency is Euro, in such other coin or
currency which at the time of payment is then legal tender 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. If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars,
except as otherwise provided below, any such amounts so payable by the Issuer
will be converted by the Exchange Rate Agent specified above into United States
dollars for payment to the Holder of this Note.

     If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, 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 the 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 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 or one of the Agents)
selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Issuer 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. If three such bid quotations are not available, payments on this Note
will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be
borne by the Holder of this Note by deductions from such payments.

     If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, 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 the
Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the
Trustee at its corporate trust office in The City of New York on or prior to the
applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date,
as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent
by cable, telex or other form of 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, as the case may be.

     If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars or a
composite currency 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 the Specified Currency, but the
Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange controls
or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer, the Issuer 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

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange
Rate. The "Market Exchange Rate" for the Specified Currency means the noon
dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified
Currency as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as
otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment 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.

     The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Holder of any Note against any loss
incurred by such Holder as a result of any judgment or order being given or made
against the Issuer for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order
requiring payment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than the
Specified Currency, and as a result of any variation between (i) the rate of
exchange at which the Specified Currency amount is converted into the Judgment
Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of
exchange at which such Holder, on the date of payment of such judgment or order,
is able to purchase the Specified Currency with the amount of the Judgment
Currency actually received by such Holder, as the case may be. The foregoing
indemnity constitutes a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer and
continues in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as
aforesaid. The term "rate of exchange" includes any premiums and costs of
exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the
relevant currency.

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

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

     Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

                        MEDIUM-TERM SENIOR NOTE, SERIES B
                                 (FLOATING RATE)

     This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities (the
"Securities") of the Issuer issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as
of January 15, 1997, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the
"Indenture"), between the Issuer and Bank One Trust Company, N.A. (as successor
trustee to The First National Bank of Chicago), as trustee (the "Trustee", which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Note is one of the series of Securities designated as "Medium-Term Senior Notes,
Series B" (the "Notes"). All terms used but not defined in this Note or in an
Addendum hereto shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture
or on the face hereof, as the case may be.

     This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum
denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 or other
Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.

     This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise
specified on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following
two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Maturity Date.

     This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Issuer on any
date on or after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face
hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S. $1,000 or
other integral multiple of an Authorized Denomination (provided that any
remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S. $1,000 or such other
minimum Authorized Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined below),
together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption
(the "Redemption Date"), on written notice given to the Holder hereof (in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture) not more than 60 nor less than
30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date. The "Redemption Price" shall be
the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof (as adjusted by
the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof
as set forth below) multiplied by the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be
redeemed. The Initial Redemption Percentage shall decline at each anniversary of
the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if
any, until the Redemption Price is 100% of unpaid principal amount to be
redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note of
like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms
and provisions as this Note shall be issued by the Issuer in the name of the
Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.

     This Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder prior to
its Stated Maturity Date on any Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, indicated
above. If no Optional

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

Repayment Dates are set forth above, this Note may not be so repaid at the
option of the Holder hereof prior to the Stated Maturity Date. On any Optional
Repayment Date, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part in an amount
equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof (provided that any remaining
principal amount shall be an Authorized Denomination) at the option of the
Holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be
repaid, together with interest thereon payable to the date of repayment. For
this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof,
the Holder must give to the Trustee not less than 30 days' nor more than 60
days' notice. This notice shall consist of either (i) this Note with the form
entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, or (ii) a telegram,
facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities
exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a
commercial bank or trust company in the United States, setting forth the name of
the Holder, the principal amount of this Note, the principal amount of this Note
to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of
this Note, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised
thereby and a guarantee that the Note, together with the duly completed form
entitled "Option to Elect Repayment," will be received by the Trustee not later
than the fifth Business Day after the date of telegram, facsimile transmission
or letter; provided, however, that the telegram, facsimile transmission or
letter shall only be effective if this Note and the form, duly completed, are
received by the Trustee by the fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment
option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of
this Note in part only, a new Note for the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued
in the name of the Holder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

            If this Note is specified on the face hereof to be an Original Issue
Discount Note, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note in the event of
redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity of this Note will be equal to
the sum of (1) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any
accruals of the Discount, as defined below) and, in the event of any redemption
of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage
(as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and
(2) any unpaid interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date, Repayment Date
or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The difference between
the Issue Price and 100% of the principal amount of this Note is referred to
herein as the "Discount."

     For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of
any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this
Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause an assumed yield on the Note
to be constant. The assumed constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day
month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the
Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between
Interest Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), a
coupon rate equal to the initial interest rate applicable to this Note and an
assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period
from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the "Initial
Period") is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate
amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the
Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be
divided into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short
period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

     Unless the face hereof specifies that either "Other/Additional Provisions"
or an Addendum hereto applies, in each case, relating to a different interest
rate formula, this Note shall be designated as a "Floating Rate Note" and,
except as set forth below or specified on the face hereof 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 Spread, if any,
and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as
specified on the face hereof. 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 on the face hereof; 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.

     The interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows:

     Except as set forth above or specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum
hereto, the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (i) if such day is an
Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest
Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset
Date or (ii) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate
determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most
recent Interest Reset Date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day
that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the
next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest
Rate Basis and the next succeeding London Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately
preceding London Business Day. In addition, if the Treasury Rate is an
applicable Interest Rate Basis and the Interest Determination Date would
otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will be
postponed to the next succeeding Business Day.

     The interest rate applicable to the period for which interest is being
calculated commencing on the related Interest Reset Date will be determined by
the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date and will
be calculated by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the Calculation Date (as
defined below), except with respect to LIBOR, which will be calculated on such
Interest Determination Date. The "Interest Determination Date" with respect to
the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and
the Prime Rate will be the second Business Day immediately preceding the
applicable Interest Reset Date; and the "Interest Determination Date" with
respect to LIBOR shall be the second London Business Day immediately preceding
the applicable Interest Reset Date, unless the Designated LIBOR Currency is
British pounds sterling, in which case the "Interest Determination Date" will be
the applicable Interest Reset Date. The "Interest Determination Date" with
respect to the Treasury Rate shall be the day in the week in which the
applicable Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined
below) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are normally sold at an auction
held on Monday of each week, unless such Monday is a legal holiday, in which
case the auction is normally held on the immediately succeeding Tuesday,
although such auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however,
that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the applicable
Interest Reset Date, the "Interest Determination Date" shall be such preceding
Friday. If the interest rate of this Note is determined with reference to two or
more Interest Rate Bases specified on the face hereof, the "Interest
Determination Date" pertaining to this Note shall be the most recent Business
Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset
Date on which each Interest Rate

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined as of such
date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the related Interest
Reset Date.

     Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, the
rate with respect to each Interest Rate Basis will be determined in accordance
with the applicable provisions below.

     CD Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face
hereof as the CD Rate, the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable
Interest Determination Date (a "CD Rate Interest Determination Date") as the
rate on such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15(519)
(as defined below) under the heading "CDs (secondary market)", or, if not
published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the
rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States
dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity as in H.15 Daily Update (as
hereinafter defined), or such other recognized electronic source used for the
purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "CDs (secondary market)". If
such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another
recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related
Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date
will be calculated by the Calculation Agent specified on the face hereof and
will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00
A.M., New York City time, on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date, of three
leading nonbank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates of
deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (which may
include one or more of the Agents or their affiliates) for negotiable United
States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks
for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit with a remaining
maturity closest to the Index Maturity in an amount that is representative for a
single transaction in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the
dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in
this sentence, the CD Rate determined as of such CD Rate Interest Determination
Date will be the CD Rate in effect on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date.

     "H.15(519)" means the weekly statistical release designated as such, 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.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or
publication.

     CMT Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face
hereof as the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate shall be determined as of the applicable
Interest Determination Date (a "CMT Rate Interest Determination Date") as the
rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined below) under the
caption "...Treasury Constant Maturities...Federal Reserve Board Release
H.15...Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.", under the column for the Designated CMT
Maturity Index (as defined below) for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is
7051, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the
Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the weekly or monthly average, as
specified on the face hereof, for the week or month, as applicable, ended
immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which the related CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date falls. If such rate is no longer displayed on

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

the relevant page or is not so displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in H.15(519). If such rate is no
longer published or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with
respect to such Interest Reset Date 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
formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in
H.15(519). If such information is not so provided by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will
be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market
offered rates as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records,
by three leading primary United States government securities dealers (each, a
"Reference Dealer") in The City of New York (which may include one or more of
the Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five
such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent 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 the
most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United
States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of approximately the
Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less than
such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the Calculation Agent is
unable to obtain three such Treasury Note quotations, the CMT Rate on such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and
will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market
offered rates as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New
York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent 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 Treasury Notes with an original maturity of the number of years
that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining
term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount
of at least U.S.$100 million. If three or four (and not five) of such Reference
Dealers are quoting as described above, then the CMT Rate will be based on the
arithmetic mean of the offered rates obtained and neither the highest nor the
lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than
three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as
mentioned herein, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described
in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close
to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the Calculation Agent will obtain
quotations for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity.

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

the United States Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years)
specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be
calculated or, if no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, 2 years.

     Commercial Paper Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified
on the face hereof as the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate shall
be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Commercial
Paper Rate Interest Determination Date") as the Money Market Yield (as defined
below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity
as published in H.15(519) under the caption "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial" or,
if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation
Date, the rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date for
commercial paper having the Index Maturity as published in H.15 Daily Update, or
such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such
rate, under the caption "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial". If such rate is not yet
published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic
source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the
Commercial Paper Rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date
will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Money Market Yield
of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., New
York City time, on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date of
three leading dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in The City of
New York selected by the Calculation Agent (which may include one or more of the
Agents or their affiliates) for commercial paper having the Index Maturity
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 so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned

Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate in
effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.

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

                             D X 360

                             360 - (D X 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 applicable interest period for which interest is being

determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Federal Funds
Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date for United States
dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds
(Effective)", as such rate is displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any
successor service) on page 120 (or any other page as may replace such page on
such service) ("Telerate Page 120"), or, if such rate does not appear on
Telerate page 120 or is not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on

such rate, under the

                                       13
<PAGE>   14

caption "Federal Funds (Effective)." If such rate does not appear on Telerate
Page 120 or is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another
recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related
Calculation Date, then the Federal Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Interest
Determination Date shall 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 one or
more of the Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, prior
to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers so selected by the
Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal
Funds Rate determined as of such Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date
will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date.

     LIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face
hereof as LIBOR, LIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "LIBOR Interest Determination Date")
in accordance with the following provisions:

     (i) (a) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof or if neither
"LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof as the

Currency having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on
such Interest Reset Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page (as defined
below) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date;
or (b) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean
of the offered rates (unless the Designated LIBOR Page (as defined below) by its
terms provides only for a single rate, in which case such single rate will be
used) for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity,
commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, that appear (or, if only a
single rate is required as aforesaid, appears) on the Designated LIBOR Page as
of 11:00 A.M., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If fewer
than two such offered rates so appear, or if no such rate so appears, as
applicable, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date shall be determined
in accordance with the provisions described in clause (ii) below.

     (ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer
than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the
Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the Calculation Agent
shall request the principal London office of each of four major reference banks
(which may include the Agents or their affiliates) in the London interbank
market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent
with its offered quotation for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency for the
period of the Index Maturity, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date,
to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M.,
London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount
that is representative for a single transaction in the Designated LIBOR Currency
in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are so provided,
then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean
of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, then
LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of
the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., in the applicable Principal
Financial Center, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks
which may include affiliates of the Agent in such Principal Financial Center
selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in the Designated LIBOR

amount that is representative for a single transaction in the Designated LIBOR
Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so
selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence,
LIBOR determined as of such LIBOR Interest Determination Date shall be LIBOR in
effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

     "Designated LIBOR Currency" means the currency specified on the face hereof

London interbank rates of major banks for the Designated LIBOR Currency, or (b)
if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof or neither "LIBOR Reuters"

calculating LIBOR, the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor
service) on the page specified on the face hereof (or any other page as may
replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying the London
interbank rates of major banks for the Designated LIBOR Currency.

     Prime Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereto as the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Prime Rate Interest Determination
Date") as the rate on such date as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the

on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Prime Rate Interest
Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized

caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15
Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the related Calculation Date, the Prime Rate shall be 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 such bank's prime rate
or base lending rate as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Prime Rate
Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates so appear on the
Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date,
then the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base
lending quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by
a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest
Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York selected by the
Calculation Agent (which may include the Agents or their affiliates); provided,
however, that if the banks or trust companies so selected by the Calculation

     Treasury Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereof as the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate shall be determined as of
the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Treasury Rate Interest
Determination Date") as the rate from the auction held on such Treasury Rate
Interest Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct obligations of the United
States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity under the caption
"INVESTMENT RATE" on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor
service) on page 56 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service)
("Telerate Page 56") or page 57 (or any other page as may replace such page on
such service) ("Telerate Page 57") or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield (as
hereinafter defined) of the rate for such Treasury Bills as published in H.15
Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of
displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury
Bills/Auction High" or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the related Calculation Date, the auction rate of such Treasury Bills (expressed
as a bond equivalent yield on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
applicable, and applied on a daily basis) as otherwise announced by the United
States Department of the Treasury. In the event that the results of the Auction
of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity are not so published by 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on such Calculation Date, or if no such Auction is held,
then the Treasury Rate will be the rate (expressed as a bond equivalent yield on
the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily
basis) on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of Treasury Bills
having the Index Maturity as published in H.15(519) under the caption "U.S.
Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market" or, if not yet published
by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on
such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of such Treasury Bills as
published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used
for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S. Government
Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market". If such rate is not yet published
in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source, then
the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a
yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent yield on the basis of a year
of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the
arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30
P.M., New York City time, on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, of
three primary United States government securities dealers (which may include the
Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent, for the issue of
Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity;
provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are
not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate determined as of
such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Treasury Rate in
effect on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date.

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

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

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

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be
greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum
Interest Rate, if any, in each case as specified on the face hereof. The
interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate
permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of
general application.

     The "Calculation Date", if applicable, pertaining to any Interest
Determination Date shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such
Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the
applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. At
the request of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the
Holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the
interest rate that will become effective as a result of a determination made for
the next succeeding Interest Reset Date.

     Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the
principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest
factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day
in the applicable Interest Period. Unless otherwise specified as the Day Count
Convention on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be
computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the CD
Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate
is an applicable Interest Rate Basis or by the actual number of days in the year
if the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis.
Unless otherwise specified as the Day Count Convention on the face hereof, the
interest factor for this Note, if the interest rate is calculated with reference
to two or more Interest Rate Bases, shall be calculated in each period in the
same manner as if only the Applicable Interest Rate Basis specified on the face
hereof applied.

     All percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note shall be
rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five
one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards, and all amounts used in or
resulting from such calculation on this Note shall be rounded, in the case of
United States dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a Specified
Currency other than United States dollars, to the nearest unit (with one-half
cent or unit being rounded upwards).

     If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the
Notes may, and in certain cases shall, be accelerated in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire
indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain covenants and Events of Default with
respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set
forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Securities at any time by the Issuer
and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the
aggregate principal amount of all Securities at the time outstanding and
affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders
of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of any series, on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities, to
waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture.
Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of not less than a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any

                                       17

series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the Holders of
Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note
and other Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Note.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in
respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

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

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and
herein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Notes of different authorized denominations but otherwise having the
same terms and conditions, as requested by the Holder hereof surrendering the
same.

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

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

     The Indenture and this Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made
and to be performed entirely in such State.

         National Consumer Cooperative Bank, a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of the United States (the "Issuer", 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 of    , on the Stated Maturity Date specified above (or any
Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each as defined on the reverse hereof, or
any earlier date of acceleration of maturity) (each such date being hereinafter
referred to as the "Maturity Date" with respect to the principal repayable on
such date) and to pay interest thereon (and on any overdue principal, premium
and/or interest to the extent legally enforceable) at the Interest Rate per
annum specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made
available for payment. The Issuer will pay interest in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date, if any, specified above (each, an "Interest Payment Date"),
commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original
Issue Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date; provided, however, that
if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Regular Record Date (as defined
below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will
commence on the second Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue
Date to the registered holder (the "Holder") of this Note on the Regular Record
Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date. Interest on this Note
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

         Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the immediately
preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest
has been paid or duly provided for) to, but excluding, the applicable Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an "Interest
Period"). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein,
be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor
Notes, as defined on the reverse hereof) is registered at the close of business
on the April 15 and October 15 (whether or not a Business Day, as defined
below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (unless otherwise
specified on the face hereof) (the "Regular Record Date"); provided, however,
that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to
whom the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be payable. Any
such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest
Payment Date other than the Maturity Date ("Defaulted Interest") shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the close of business on any
Regular Record Date and, instead, shall be paid to the person in whose name
this Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (the
"Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed
by the Trustee hereinafter referred to, notice whereof shall be given to the
Holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such
Special Record Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all
as more fully provided for in the Indenture.

         Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this
Note due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon
presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable
repayment of this Note, upon delivery of a duly completed election form as
contemplated on the reverse hereof) at the office or agency maintained by the
Issuer for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
currently the office of Bank One Trust Company, N.A. (the "Trustee") located at
14 Wall St., 8th Floor, New York, New York 10005, or at such other paying
agency in the Borough of

                                      2

<PAGE>   3

Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Issuer may determine; provided,
however, that if the Specified Currency specified above is other than United
States dollars and such payment is to be made in the 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, provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor and that this
Note (and, if applicable, a duly completed repayment election form) is
presented and surrendered at the aforementioned office or agency maintained by
the Issuer 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 will be made at the aforementioned
office or agency maintained by the Issuer or, at the option of the Issuer, by
check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Security Register maintained by the Trustee; provided,
however, that a Holder of U.S.$10,000,000 (or, if the Specified Currency is
other than United States dollars, the equivalent thereof in the Specified
Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having
identical or different terms and provisions) will be entitled to receive
interest payments on such Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately
available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in
writing by the Trustee not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Interest
Payment Date. Any such wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee shall
remain in effect until revoked by such Holder.

         If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that
is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any,
and/or interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same
force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest
shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such
Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date of
such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

         As used herein, "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday,
Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are
authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close;
provided, however, that if the Specified Currency is other than United States
dollars, such day is also a Business Day in the Principal Financial Center (as
defined below) of the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, if the
Specified Currency is Euro, such day is also a day on which the Trans-European
Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open).
"Principal Financial Center" means the capital city of the country issuing the
Specified Currency except that with respect to United States dollars,
Australian dollars, Deutsche marks, Dutch guilders, Italian lire and Swiss
francs, the "Principal Financial Center" shall be The City of New York,
Melbourne, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Milan, London and Zurich, respectively.

         The Issuer is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any,
and interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency or, (i) if such
Specified Currency (other than Euro) is not at the time of such payment legal
tender for the payment of public and private debts in the relevant country, in
such other coin or currency of such country which as at the time of such
payment is legal tender for the payment of such debts or (ii) if such Specified
Currency is Euro, in such other coin or currency which at the time of payment
is then legal tender in the member states of the European Union that have
adopted the single currency in accordance with the Treaty

                                       3

<PAGE>   4

establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty on European
Union. If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, except as
otherwise provided below, any such amounts so payable by the Issuer will be
converted by the Exchange Rate Agent specified above into United States dollars
for payment to the Holder of this Note.

         If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the
Holder of this Note may elect to receive any amounts 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 the 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 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 or an Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the
Issuer 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. If three such bid quotations are not available,
payments on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency
exchange costs will be borne by the Holder of this Note by deductions from such
payments.

         If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, 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 the Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to
the Trustee at its corporate trust office on or prior to the applicable Regular
Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the
case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by
cable, telex or other form of 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 Regular Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior
to the Maturity Date, as the case may be.

         If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars 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 the Specified Currency, but the Specified Currency
is not available due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer, the Issuer 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 or as otherwise
specified in the Pricing Supplement applicable to this Note. The "Market
Exchange Rate" for the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in
The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as
certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as

                                       4

<PAGE>   5

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.

         The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Holder of this Note against any
loss incurred by such Holder as a result of any judgment or order being given
or made against the Issuer for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or
order requiring payment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than the
Specified Currency, and as a result of any variation between (i) the rate of
exchange at which the Specified Currency amount is converted into the Judgment
Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of
exchange at which such Holder, on the date of payment of such judgment or
order, is able to purchase the Specified Currency with the amount of the
Judgment Currency actually received by such Holder, as the case may be. The
foregoing indemnity constitutes a separate and independent obligation of the
Issuer and continues in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment
or order as aforesaid. The term "rate of exchange" includes any premiums and
costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion
into, the relevant currency.

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

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

         Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

                       NATIONAL CONSUMER COOPERATIVE BANK

                    MEDIUM-TERM SUBORDINATED NOTE, SERIES B
                                  (FIXED RATE)

         This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities (the
"Securities") of the Issuer issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated
as of January 7, 2000, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time
(the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as
trustee (the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations
of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of
Securities designated as "Medium-Term Subordinated Notes, Series B" (the
"Notes"). All terms used but not defined in this Note or in an Addendum hereto
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture or on the face
hereof, as the case may be.

         This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in
minimum denominations of U.S. $1,000 and integral multiples thereof or other
Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.

         This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the
following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the
Maturity Date.

         This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Issuer on
any date on or after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face
hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S. $1,000 or
other integral multiple of an Authorized Denomination (provided that any
remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S. $1,000 or such other
minimum Authorized Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined below),
together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption
(the "Redemption Date"), on written notice given to the Holder hereof (in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture) not more than 60 nor less than
30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date. The "Redemption Price" shall be
the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof (as adjusted by
the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face
hereof as set forth below) multiplied by the unpaid principal amount of this
Note to be redeemed. The Initial Redemption Percentage shall decline at each
anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage
Reduction, if any, until the Redemption Price is 100% of unpaid principal
amount to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a
new Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having
the same terms and provisions as this Note shall be issued by the Issuer in the
name of the Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.

         This Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder
prior to its Stated Maturity Date on any Optional Repayment Date(s), if any,
indicated above. If no Optional

                                       7

<PAGE>   8

Repayment Dates are set forth above, this Note may not be so repaid at the
option of the Holder hereof prior to the Stated Maturity Date. On any Optional
Repayment Date, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part in an amount
equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof (provided that any remaining
principal amount shall be an Authorized Denomination) at the option of the
Holder hereof at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be
repaid, together with interest thereon payable to the date of repayment. For
this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof,
the Holder must give to the Trustee not less than 30 days' nor more than 60
days' notice. This notice shall consist of either (i) this Note with the form
entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, or (ii) a telegram,
facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities
exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a
commercial bank or trust company in the United States, setting forth the name
of the Holder, the principal amount of this Note, the principal amount of this
Note to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and
terms of this Note, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being
exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Note, together with the duly
completed form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment," will be received by the
Trustee not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of telegram,
facsimile transmission or letter; provided, however, that the telegram,
facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and the
form, duly completed, are received by the Trustee by the fifth Business Day.
Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In
the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unpaid
portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
surrender hereof..

         If this Note is specified on the face hereof to be an Original Issue
Discount Note, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note in the event of
redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of
(1) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of
the Discount, as defined below) and, in the event of any redemption of this
Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage (as
adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (2)
any unpaid interest accrued thereon to the Redemption Date, Repayment Date or
date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The difference between
the Issue Price and 100% of the principal amount of this Note is referred to
herein as the "Discount".

         For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as
of any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of
this Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause the yield on the Note
to be constant. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month,
360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial
Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest
Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period) and an
assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the
period from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the
"Initial Period") is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a
proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be
accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such
period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period,
with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

         The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is, to the extent and in the
manner provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment
to the prior payment in full of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on all Senior Indebtedness as defined in the Indenture, and this Note
is issued subject to such provisions and each Holder of this Note, by accepting
the same, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, and authorizes the
Trustee on such Holder's behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate such subordination as provided in the Indenture and
appoints the Trustee as such Holder's attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

         If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of
the Notes may, and in certain cases shall, be accelerated in the manner and
with the effect provided in the Indenture.

         The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire
indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain covenants and Events of Default with
respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set
forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.

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

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in
respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

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

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein and herein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations but otherwise
having the same terms and conditions, as requested by the Holder hereof
surrendering the same.

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

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

         The Indenture and this Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made
and to be performed entirely in such State.
