         ABN AMRO Bank N.V., a public limited liability company incorporated
under the laws of The Netherlands and with corporate seat in Amsterdam
(together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), for value received,
hereby promises to pay to bearer, upon surrender hereof, the principal amount
specified in Schedule A hereto, on the Maturity Date specified above (except to
the extent previously redeemed or repaid) and to pay interest thereon, from and
including the Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal
to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset
Date specified above, and on and after at a rate per annum determined in
accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until but
excluding the date such principal amount is paid or duly made available for
payment. The Issuer will pay interest in arrears monthly, quarterly,
semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on

--------
     (1) Applicable if other than 30-60 days. Consult with Euroclear or
Clearstream if a shorter redemption is requested. A minimum of 10 days may be
possible.

     (2) Unless explicitly stated otherwise in term sheet, practice has been to
exclude this option.

each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first
Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified
above, and on the Maturity Date specified above (or any redemption or repayment
date); provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date occurs fifteen days
or less prior to the first Interest Payment Date occurring after the Interest
Accrual Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment
Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date; and provided, further, that if an
Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment
date) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse
hereof, such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day that is a
Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is LIBOR or EURIBOR
and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, such Interest
Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day; and
provided, further, that if the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date
would fall 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
and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date
or redemption or repayment date.

         Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the
Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal hereof has
been paid or duly made available for payment (except as provided below). The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to
the holder of this Note at the office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent
(this and certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined on the
reverse of this Note) or at the office or agency of such other paying agents
outside the United States as the Issuer or the Guarantor may determine for that
purpose (each, a "Paying Agent," which term shall include the Principal Paying
Agent).

         Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest
due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the
Principal Paying Agent or at the office of any Paying Agent.

         Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this
Note will be made in the Specified Currency indicated above, except as provided
on the reverse hereof. If this Note is denominated in U.S. dollars, any payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be made in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Such payments on this
Note will be made either by a check mailed to an address outside the United
States furnished by the payee or, at the option of the payee and subject to
applicable laws and regulations and the procedures of the Paying Agent, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee
with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received by the Paying Agent not less than 15 calendar
days prior to the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that payment in U.S. dollars of the full amount payable on this Note
at the offices of all Paying Agents would be illegal or effectively precluded
as a result of exchange controls or similar restrictions, payment on this Note
will be made by a paying agency

                                       3
<PAGE>

in the United States, if such paying agency, under applicable law and
regulations, would be able to make such payment. If this Note is denominated in
a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, except as provided on the
reverse hereof, payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
on this Note will be made in such Specified Currency either by a check drawn on
a bank outside the United States or, at the option of the payee and subject to
applicable laws and regulations and the procedures of the Paying Agent, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee
with a bank located outside the United States.

         Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by

shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, as defined on the
reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

                         [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Global Medium-Term
Notes, Series A, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue
(the "Notes") of the Issuer and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by ABN
AMRO Holding N.V. (the "Guarantor", which term includes any successor guarantor
under the Indenture). The Notes are issuable under an Indenture, dated as of
November 27, 2000, between the Issuer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee (the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September __,
2003, among the Issuer, the Trustee and the Guarantor (as may be further
amended or supplemented from time to time, 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 of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Guarantor and holders of the Notes
and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. The Issuer has appointed [ ], as its principal paying agent for the
Notes (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or
successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of
individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate
formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the
Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Indenture
are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

         If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents
that it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom
Banking Act 1987) nor a European authorized institution as defined by
Regulation 3 of the Banking Co-ordination (Second Council Directive)
Regulations 1992 and repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest
or premium on, this Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its
obligations under the listing rules of the London Stock Exchange Limited (the
"Rules") and that, since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of
information about it, it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become
aware of any change in circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as
significantly and adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations in
respect of the Notes as they fall due.

         Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof
in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as
set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option
of the holder prior to maturity.

         If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole
or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof,
together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption
(except as indicated below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption
Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face
hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by
the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until
the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount

                                       6
<PAGE>

hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of
redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to
the holders of the Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names
and addresses with the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than
60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice
Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and
provisions of the Indenture. Notice of redemption to all other holders of Notes
shall be given in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below, and, if
by publication, shall be given once in each of the three successive calendar
weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior
to the date set for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified
on the face hereof. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, the
Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to
reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of this Note so redeemed, whereupon the principal
amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so redeemed and
noted.

         If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to
repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional
Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments
of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided
that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest
accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below).
For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal
Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more
than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, this Note with the form entitled
"Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed, or a telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities
exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a
commercial bank or trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan
setting forth the principal amount of the Note, the principal amount of the
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 and a guarantee that this Note to be repaid, together with the duly
completed form entitled Option to Elect Repayment, will be received by the
principal paying agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of
that telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter. However, the telegram,
telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note
and an Option to Elect Repayment form duly completed are received by the Paying
Agent by the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter. Exercise of such repayment option by the
holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in
part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of this Note so repaid, whereupon the principal
amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so repaid and
noted.

         This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with
the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face
hereof based on the Index

                                                         7
<PAGE>

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

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

         Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date"
pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the
tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is
not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day
preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with
respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or
repayment date), as the case may be.

         Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face
hereof is the "CD Rate," for any Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate with
respect to this Note shall be the rate on that

                                       8
<PAGE>

date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified
on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or
any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System ("H.15(519)") under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)."

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

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

         (ii) If the above rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the
H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date,
the Calculation Agent shall determine the CD Rate to be the arithmetic mean of
the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on
that Interest Determination Date of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable
U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by the
Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) for negotiable
certificates of deposit of major United States money center banks of the
highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit
with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that
market at that time.

         (iii) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as described in (ii) above, the CD Rate shall remain the CD Rate for the
immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset
Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

         Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on
the face hereof is the "Commercial Paper Rate," for any Interest Determination
Date, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be the Money
Market Yield (as defined herein), calculated as described below, of the rate on
that date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof, as that rate is published in H.15(519), under the heading "Commercial
Paper -- Nonfinancial."

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

         (i) If the above rate is not published by 9:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the
Money Market Yield of the rate on that Interest

                                       9
<PAGE>

Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the
face hereof as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the heading "Commercial
Paper -- Nonfinancial."

         (ii) If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the
rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update, then
the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money
Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of
commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent
(after consultation with the Issuer) for commercial paper of the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating
is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating
agency.

         (iii) If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as mentioned above, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Interest Determination
Date shall remain the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of
interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

         The "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield calculated in accordance
with the following formula:

                                              D x 360
                      Money Market Yield = -------------  x 100
                                           360 - (D x M)

where "D" refers to the applicable per year 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 EURIBOR Notes. If the Base Rate specified on the face
hereof is "EURIBOR," for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect
to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated
and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI - The
Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors
for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Bridge
Telerate, Inc., or any successor service, on page 248 or any other page as may
replace page 248 on that service ("Telerate Page 248") as of 11:00 a.m.
(Brussels time).

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

         (i) If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall
request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the

consultation with the Issuer) to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered
rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (Brussels time) on the

Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the
Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable
Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of
U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro,
in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR
shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

         (ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the
arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone, as
selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) at
approximately 11:00 a.m. (Brussels time), on the applicable Interest Reset Date
for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to
the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on that Interest
Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million
in euro.

         (iii) If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not
quoting as described in (ii) above, the EURIBOR rate in effect for the
applicable period shall be the same as EURIBOR for the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of
interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

         "Euro-zone" means the region comprised of member states of the
European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the treaty
establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on
European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty").

         Determination of the Federal Funds Rates. If the Base Rate specified
on the face hereof is the "Federal Funds Rate," for any Interest Determination
Date, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on
that date for federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading
"Federal Funds (Effective)" as displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc., or any
successor service, on page 120 or any other page as may replace page 120 on
that service ("Telerate Page 120").

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

         (i) If the above rate is not published by 9:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate shall be the rate on that
Interest Determination Date as published in the H.15 Daily Update under the
heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate."

         (ii) If that rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the H.15
Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic
mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight federal funds by each
of three leading brokers of federal funds transactions in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) prior to
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date.

<PAGE>

         (iii) If the brokers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as mentioned above, the Federal Funds Rate relating to that Interest
Determination Date shall remain the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately
preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the
rate of interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

         Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof
is "LIBOR," LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be based on London interbank
offered rate. The Calculation Agent shall determine "LIBOR" for each Interest
Determination Date as follows:

         (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, LIBOR shall be either: (a)
if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof,
the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in the Index Currency
having the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof, commencing on the
second London Banking Day immediately following that Interest Determination
Date, that appear on the Designated LIBOR Page, as defined below, as of 11:00
a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date, if at least two offered
rates appear on the Designated LIBOR Page; except that if the specified
Designated LIBOR Page, by its terms provides only for a single rate, that
single rate shall be used; or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the
Reporting Service on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index
Currency having the Index Maturity designated on the face hereof, commencing on
the second London Banking Day immediately following that Interest Determination
Date or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on that Interest
Determination Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately
11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date.

         (ii) If (a) fewer than two offered rates appear and LIBOR Reuters is
specified on the face hereof, or (b) no rate appears and the face hereof
specifies either (x) LIBOR Telerate or (y) LIBOR Reuters and the Designated
LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, then the Calculation
Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major
reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation
Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) to provide the Calculation Agent
with its offered quotation for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of
the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London
Banking Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date or, if pounds
sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on that Interest Determination Date,
to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that
is representative of a single transaction in that Index Currency in that market
at that time.

         (iii) If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on
that Interest Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean of those
quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR shall be
determined for the applicable Interest Reset Date as the arithmetic mean of the
rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, or some other time
specified on the face hereof, in the applicable principal financial center for
the country of the Index Currency on that Interest Reset Date, by three major
banks in that principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent
(after consultation with the Issuer) for loans in the Index Currency to leading

                                       12
<PAGE>

European banks, having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a
principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in that Index
Currency in that market at that time.

         (iv) If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as described in (iii) above, LIBOR in effect for the applicable period shall be
the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period, or, if
there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable shall be the
Initial Interest Rate.

         The "Index Currency" means the currency specified on the face hereof
as the currency for which LIBOR shall be calculated, or, if the euro is
substituted for that currency, the Index Currency shall be the euro. If that
currency is not specified on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S.
dollars.

         "Designated LIBOR Page" means either: (a) if LIBOR Reuters is
designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the
Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London
interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency or its
designated successor, or (b) if LIBOR Telerate is designated as the Reporting
Service on the face hereof, 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 that page on that service, for the purpose of displaying the
London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency.

         If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified on the face
hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency shall be determined as if LIBOR
Telerate were specified, and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, as if
Page 3750, had been specified.

         Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face
hereof is "Prime Rate," for any Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate
with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date as published in
H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime Loan."

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

         (i) If the rate is not published prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the rate on that
Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update under the heading
"Bank Prime Loan."

         (ii) If the rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the Calculation Date in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update,
then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic
mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on
the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page, as defined below, as that bank's Prime Rate
or base lending rate as in effect for that Interest Determination Date.

                                       13
<PAGE>

         (iii) If fewer than four rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1
Page for that Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall
determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the Prime Rates quoted on
the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the
close of business on that Interest Determination Date by at least three major
banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after
consultation with the Issuer).

         (iv) If the banks selected are not quoting as described in (iii)
above, the Prime Rate shall remain the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding
Interest Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of
interest payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

         "Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page" means the display designated as page
"USPRIME 1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service, or any successor
service, or any other page as may replace the USPRIME 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 Base Rate specified on the face
hereof is "Treasury Rate," the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be

         (i) 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 specified on the face hereof as
that rate appears 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 page 56 on that service ( "Telerate Page 56") or page 57 or any other
page as may replace page 57 on that service ( "Telerate Page 57"); or

         (ii) if the rate described in (i) above is not published by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the
rate for the applicable Treasury Bills as published in the 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

         (iii) if the rate described in (ii) above is not published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent
Yield of the Auction rate of the applicable Treasury Bills, announced by the
United States Department of the Treasury; or

         (iv) in the event that the rate described in (iii) above 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 Interest
Determination Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the
face hereof published in H.15(519) under the caption "U.S. Government
Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market;" or

         (v) if the rate described in (iv) above is not so published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the
applicable Interest Determination Date of the

                                       14
<PAGE>

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;" or

         (vi) if the rate described in (v) above is not so published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on the
applicable Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as
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
Interest Determination Date, of three primary United States government
securities dealers, which may include the agent or its affiliates, selected by
the Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining
maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; or

         (vii) if the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting
as described in (vi), the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest
Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

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

                                                D x N
                   Bond Equivalent Yield =  ------------- x 100
                                            360 - (D x 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.

         Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face
hereof is the "CMT Rate," for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate
with respect to this Note shall be the rate displayed on the Designated CMT
Telerate Page (as defined below) under the caption "... Treasury Constant
Maturities ... Federal Reserve Board Release H.15... Mondays Approximately 3:45
p.m.," under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined
below, for:

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

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

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

         (i) If that rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if
not displayed by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation
Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury

                                       15
<PAGE>

Constant Maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in
the relevant H.15(519).

         (ii) If the rate described in (i) is no longer published, or if not
published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date,
then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturity Rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index or other United States Treasury rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index on the Interest Determination Date as may then be
published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the
United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines
to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate
Page and published in the relevant H.15(519).

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

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

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

         (vi) If fewer than three reference dealers selected by the Calculation
Agent are quoting as described in (iv) above, the CMT Rate shall be the CMT
Rate for the immediately preceding Interest

                                       16
<PAGE>

Reset Period, or, if there was no Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest
payable shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

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

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

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

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

         Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but
excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier
redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon
shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof shown
on Schedule A hereto by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest
factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day
in the period for which interest is being paid. Unless otherwise specified on
the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be computed by
dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate
is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or
LIBOR (except if the Index Currency is pounds sterling); (ii) by 365 if the
Base Rate is LIBOR and the Index Currency is pounds sterling; or (iii) by the
actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the
CMT Rate. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of
interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one
hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths
of a percentage point rounded upward, and all dollar amounts used in or
resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest
cent (with one-half cent rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any
Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The
interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the
immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest
Rate).

         This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct,
unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority
among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured

exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

         The due and punctual payment by the Issuer of the principal of and
interest on, and any additional amounts with respect to, this Note when and as
the same shall become due and payable is fully and unconditionally guaranteed
by the Guarantor.

         This Note is issued in permanent global bearer form without interest
coupons attached (a "Global Bearer Note"). The beneficial owner of all or a
portion of this Note may exchange its interest in this Note upon not less than
30 days' written notice to the Principal Paying Agent through the relevant
clearing system, in whole, for Notes in bearer form with interest coupons, if

Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or, if so indicated on the face of this Note,
at the beneficial owner's option, in whole or from time to time in part, for
Notes in fully registered form without coupons (the "Registered Notes"), in
each case, in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any
amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the
Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof. Interests in this Note shall
also be exchanged by the Issuer in whole, but not in part, for Definitive
Bearer Notes, which shall be serially numbered, with coupons, if any, attached
(or, if indicated on the face of this Note, at the beneficial owner's option,
for Registered Notes) of any authorized denominations if (i) this Note is
accelerated following an Event of Default or (ii) either the Euroclear System
("Euroclear") or Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme ("Clearstream,
Luxembourg") or any other relevant clearing system is closed for business for a
continuous period of fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or
announces an intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. The
Issuer shall give notice to the Principal Paying Agent promptly following any
such acceleration or upon learning of any such closure. Any exchanges referred
to above shall be made at the office of the Principal Paying Agent, or, in the
case of Registered Notes, at the office of the transfer agent for the
Registered Notes in London, which transfer agent will initially be [ ], upon
compliance with any procedures set forth in, or established pursuant to, the
Indenture; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required (i) to
exchange this Note for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding the first
publication or other transmission, if applicable, of a notice of redemption of
all or any portion hereof or (ii) to exchange any portion of this Note selected
for redemption or surrendered for optional repayment, except that such portion
of this Note may be exchanged for a Registered Note of like tenor; provided
that such Registered Note shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption or
repayment, as the case may be; and provided, further, that if a Registered Note
is issued in exchange for any portion of this Note after the close of business
at the office of the Principal Paying Agent on any record date (whether or not
a Business Day) for the payment of interest on such Registered Note and before
the opening of business at such office on the relevant Interest Payment Date,
any interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of
such Registered Note, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date only to
the holder of this Note. Upon exchange of this Note in whole for a Definitive
Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or in whole or in part for a Registered
Note or Registered

Notes, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect the reduction of the principal amount hereof by an amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Bearer Note or
Definitive Bearer Notes, or such Registered Note or Registered Notes, whereupon
the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so
exchanged and noted. All such exchanges of Notes will be free of service
charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The date of any
Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or
loss of interest results from such exchange.

         All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged
for Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
following two sentences as soon as practicable after (i) the first beneficial
owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive
Bearer Note, (ii) the Issuer gives notice to the Principal Paying Agent of an
acceleration of the Note or (iii) either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg
or any other relevant clearing system is closed for business for a continuous
period of fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or announces
an intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. In the event of
any exchange of interests in this Note for a Definitive Bearer Note, a common
depositary located outside the United States (the "common depositary") holding
this Note for Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as
the operator of Euroclear (the "Euroclear Operator"), Clearstream, Luxembourg,
and/or any other relevant clearing system (including Societe
Interprofessionelle pour la Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres ("SICOVAM"))
shall instruct the Principal Paying Agent regarding the aggregate principal
amount of Definitive Bearer Notes and the denominations of such Definitive
Bearer Notes that must be authenticated and delivered to each relevant clearing
system in exchange for this Note. Thereafter, the Principal Paying Agent,
acting solely in reliance on such instructions, shall, upon surrender to it of
this Note and subject to the conditions in the preceding paragraph,
authenticate and deliver Definitive Bearer Notes in exchange for this Note in
accordance with such instructions and shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of this Note. Nothing in this paragraph shall
prevent the further exchange of Definitive Bearer Notes into Registered Notes.

         This Note may be transferred by delivery; provided, however, that this
Note may be transferred only to a common depositary outside the United States
for the Euroclear Operator, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other relevant
clearing system or to a nominee of such a depositary.

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

preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the
owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

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

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

         If the Issuer or Guarantor shall determine that any payment made
outside the United States by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Paying Agent of
principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note would, under any
present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any
certification, identification or other information reporting requirement of any
kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Issuer, the Guarantor, any
Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or
identity of a beneficial owner of this Note who is a United States Alien (as
defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that would not be applicable
to a payment made by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Paying Agent (i) directly
to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the
beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or
other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United
States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b)
payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not
otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note,
as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, or,
at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next succeeding
paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such
paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon as
practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish (or
transmit, as applicable) prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice")
stating the effective

                                       20
<PAGE>

date of such certification, identification or other information reporting
requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or has elected to pay
the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding paragraph, and (if
applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this Note must take place,
as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Issuer redeems this Note,
such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after
the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall elect by
notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption
or at least 30 days prior to the last day of the Redemption Notice Period
specified on the face hereof. Notice of such redemption of this Note will be
given to the holder of this Note not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior
to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period
specified on the face hereof. Such redemption notice shall include a statement
as to the last date by which this Note to be redeemed may be exchanged for
Registered Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem
this Note if the Issuer shall subsequently determine, not less than 30 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption or prior to the last day of the
Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, that subsequent payments
would not be subject to any such certification, identification or other
information reporting requirement, in which case the Issuer shall publish (or
transmit, as applicable) prompt notice of such determination and any earlier
redemption notice shall be revoked and of no further effect. The right of the
holder of this Note to exchange this Note for Registered Notes pursuant to the
provisions of this paragraph will terminate at the close of business of the
Principal Paying Agent on the fifteenth day prior to the date fixed for
redemption, and no further exchanges of this Note for Registered Notes shall be
permitted.

         If and so long as the certification, identification or other
information reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would
be fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge,
the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may elect by notice to the
Trustee to pay as additional amounts such amounts as may be necessary so that
every net payment made outside the United States following the effective date
of such requirements by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Paying Agent of
principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note of which the
beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the
nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be disclosed to the
Issuer, the Guarantor, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with
respect to the payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or
withholding for or on account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge
(other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be
applicable in the circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause
of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a
result of presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 days after the
date on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof
is duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount
provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer
or the Guarantor, as the case may be, elects to pay any additional amounts
pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the right to redeem this Note
as a whole at any time pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately
preceding paragraph and the redemption price of this Note will not be reduced
for applicable withholding taxes. If the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case
may be, elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the
condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be
satisfied, then the

                                       21
<PAGE>

Issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the applicable provisions
of the immediately preceding paragraph.

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

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

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

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

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

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

          (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not
     have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification,
     information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality,
     residence or identity of the holder or beneficial

                                       22
<PAGE>

     owner of this Note, if such compliance is required by statute or by
     regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing
     authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from
     such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

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

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

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

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

         The Indenture permits the Issuer, the Trustee and the Guarantor, with
the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Indenture then
outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental
indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the
holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer, the Trustee and
the Guarantor may not, without

                                       23
<PAGE>

the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby,
(a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the
principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment
thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or modify or amend the
provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or
amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for
securities of the Issuer or other entities (other than as provided in the
antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt
securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or impair or
affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof
without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b)
reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the
consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental
indenture.

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

         The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be [                                ],
unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

                                       24
<PAGE>

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

         So long as this Note shall be outstanding, each of the Issuer and the
Guarantor will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of
the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein
provided. If this Note is listed on the London Stock Exchange Limited and such
Exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The
Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium
and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to
applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there
shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names
and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated.

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

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

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

         No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or the interest on this Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise
in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture
supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer of the Guarantor or
of any successor corporation to the Issuer or the Guarantor, either directly or
through the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, or any such successor
corporation to the Issuer or the Guarantor, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or

                                       25
<PAGE>

otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of
the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

first Interest Payment Date occurring after the Interest Accrual Date, interest
payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the
Interest Accrual Date.

     Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the
Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal hereof has
been paid or duly made available for payment (except as provided below). The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to
the holder of this Note at the office or agency of the Principal Paying Agent
(this and certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined on the
reverse of this Note) or at the office or agency of such other paying agents
outside the United States as the Issuer or the Guarantor may determine for that
purpose (each, a "Paying Agent," which term shall include the Principal Paying
Agent).

     Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at
maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon
presentation and surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the
Principal Paying Agent or at the office of any Paying Agent.

Note will be made either by a check mailed to an address outside the United
States furnished by the payee or, at the option of the payee and subject to
applicable laws and regulations and the procedures of the Paying Agent, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee
with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received by the Paying Agent not less than 15 calendar
days prior to the applicable payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that payment in U.S. dollars of the full amount payable on this Note
at the offices of all Paying Agents would be illegal or effectively precluded
as a result of exchange controls or similar restrictions, payment on this Note

under applicable law and regulations, would be able to make such payment. If
this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then,
except as provided on the reverse hereof, payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be made in such Specified
Currency either by a check drawn on a bank outside the United States or, at the
option of the payee and subject to applicable laws and regulations and the
procedures of the Paying Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United

                         [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Global Medium-Term Notes,
Series A, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the
"Notes") of the Issuer and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by ABN AMRO
Holding N.V. (the "Guarantor", which term includes any successor guarantor
under the Indenture). The Notes are issuable under an Indenture, dated as of
November 27, 2000, between the Issuer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee (the
"Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of September __,
2003, among the Issuer, the Trustee and the Guarantor (as may be further
amended or supplemented from time to time, 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 of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Guarantor and holders of the Notes
and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. The Issuer has appointed [ ], as its principal paying agent for the
Notes (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or
successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of
individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate
formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the
Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Indenture
are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

     If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents that
it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom Banking
Act 1987) nor a European authorized institution as defined by Regulation 3 of
the Banking Co-ordination (Second Council Directive) Regulations 1992 and
repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this
Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under
the listing rules of the London Stock Exchange Limited (the "Rules") and that,
since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about
it, it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any
change in circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and
adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes
as they fall due.

     Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, this Note will not be
subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof
in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as
set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option
of the holder prior to maturity.

     If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or
in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof,
together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption
(except as indicated below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption
Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face
hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by
the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until
the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount

                                       6
<PAGE>

hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of
redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to
the holders of the Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names
and addresses with the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than
60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice
Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and
provisions of the Indenture. Notice of redemption to all others holders of
Notes shall be given in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below,
and, if by publication, shall be given once in each of the three successive
calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the date set for redemption or within the Redemption Notice
Period specified on the face hereof. In the event of redemption of this Note in
part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of this Note so redeemed, whereupon the
principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so
redeemed and noted.

     If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to
repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates
specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional
Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments
of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided
that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest
accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below).
For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal
Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more
than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, this Note with the form entitled
"Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed, or a telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities
exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a
commercial bank or trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan
setting forth the principal amount of the Note, the principal amount of the
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 and a guarantee that this Note to be repaid, together with the duly
completed form entitled Option to Elect Repayment, will be received by the
principal paying agent not later than the fifth Business Day (as defined below)
after the date of that telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter.
However, the telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be
effective if this Note and an Option to Elect Repayment form duly completed are
received by the Paying Agent by the fifth Business Day after the date of such
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter. Exercise of such repayment
option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of
this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of
this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note so repaid,
whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the
amount so repaid and noted.

     Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but
excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier
redemption or repayment date), as the case may

                                       7
<PAGE>

be. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest payments for this
Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

     In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any
redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of
interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not
be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the
Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such
payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or
the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding
Business Day.

     This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct,
unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority
among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory
exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

     The due and punctual payment by the Issuer of the principal of and
interest on, and any additional amounts with respect to, this Note when and as
the same shall become due and payable is fully and unconditionally guaranteed
by the Guarantor.

     This Note is issued in permanent global bearer form without interest
coupons attached (a "Global Bearer Note"). The beneficial owner of all or a
portion of this Note may exchange its interest in this Note upon not less than
30 days' written notice to the Principal Paying Agent through the relevant
clearing system, in whole, for Notes in bearer form with interest coupons, if
any, attached (the "Definitive Bearer Notes," and, together with the Global
Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or, if so indicated on the face of this Note,
at the beneficial owner's option, in whole or from time to time in part, for
Notes in fully registered form without coupons (the "Registered Notes"), in
each case, in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any
amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the
Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof. Interests in this Note shall
also be exchanged by the Issuer in whole, but not in part, for Definitive
Bearer Notes, which shall be serially numbered, with coupons, if any, attached
(or, if indicated on the face of this Note, at the beneficial owner's option,
for Registered Notes), of any authorized denominations if (i) this Note is
accelerated following an Event of Default or (ii) either the Euroclear System
("Euroclear") or Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme ("Clearstream,
Luxembourg") or any other relevant clearing system is closed for business for a
continuous period of fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or
announces an intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. The
Issuer shall give notice to the Principal Paying Agent promptly following any
such acceleration or upon learning of any such closure. Any exchanges referred
to above shall be made at the office of the Principal Paying Agent, or, in the
case of Registered Notes, at the office of the transfer agent for the
Registered Notes in London, which transfer agent will initially be [        ],
upon compliance with any procedures set forth in, or established pursuant to,
the Indenture; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required (i) to
exchange this Note for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding the first
publication or other transmission, if

                                       8
<PAGE>

applicable, of a notice of redemption of all or any portion hereof or (ii) to
exchange any portion of this Note selected for redemption or surrendered for
optional repayment, except that such portion of this Note may be exchanged for
a Registered Note of like tenor; provided that such Registered Note shall be
simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be; and
provided, further, that if a Registered Note is issued in exchange for any
portion of this Note after the close of business at the office of the Principal
Paying Agent on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment
of interest on such Registered Note and before the opening of business at such
office on the relevant Interest Payment Date, any interest will not be payable
on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such Registered Note, but will be
payable on such Interest Payment Date only to the holder of this Note. Upon
exchange of this Note in whole for a Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive
Bearer Notes, or in whole or in part for a Registered Note or Registered Notes,
the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed
to reflect the reduction of the principal amount hereof by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive
Bearer Notes, or such Registered Note or Registered Notes, whereupon the
principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so
exchanged and noted. All such exchanges of Notes will be free of service
charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The date of any
Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or
loss of interest results from such exchange.

     All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged for
Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
following two sentences as soon as practicable after (i) the first beneficial
owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive
Bearer Note, (ii) the Issuer gives notice to the Principal Paying Agent of an
acceleration of the Note or (iii) either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg
or any other relevant clearing system is closed for business for a continuous
period of fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or announces
an intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. In the event of
any exchange of interests in this Note for a Definitive Bearer Note, a common
depositary located outside the United States (the "common depositary") holding
this Note for Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as
the operator of Euroclear (the "Euroclear Operator"), Clearstream, Luxembourg,
and/or any other relevant clearing system (including Societe
Interprofessionelle pour la Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres ("SICOVAM"))
shall instruct the Principal Paying Agent regarding the aggregate principal
amount of Definitive Bearer Notes and the denominations of such Definitive
Bearer Notes that must be authenticated and delivered to each relevant clearing
system in exchange for this Note. Thereafter, the Principal Paying Agent,
acting solely in reliance on such instructions, shall, upon surrender to it of
this Note and subject to the conditions in the preceding paragraph,
authenticate and deliver Definitive Bearer Notes in exchange for this Note in
accordance with such instructions and shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of this Note. Nothing in this paragraph shall
prevent the further exchange of Definitive Bearer Notes into Registered Notes.

                                       9
<PAGE>

     This Note may be transferred by delivery; provided, however, that this
Note may be transferred only to a common depositary outside the United States
for the Euroclear Operator, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other relevant
clearing system or to a nominee of such a depositary.

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

     If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified
Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," then (i) if the principal hereof is
declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the
amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited
to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue
Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate
principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest
Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated
using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the
purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Indenture prior to
the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall
equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth
in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the
date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders
taken pursuant to the Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this
Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and
payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above.

     This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any
time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described
below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof,
together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that if
this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption,"
such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof
multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof
(expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original
issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of
redemption, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method"
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect
on the date of redemption) (the "Amortized Amount")), if the Issuer determines
that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations
or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States

                                      10
<PAGE>

or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein
affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the
application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which
change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date
hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as
defined below) with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the
giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall
deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to
effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the
conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and
(ii) an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such
effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of
redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on
which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment
in respect of this Note were then due.

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

     If the Issuer or the Guarantor shall determine that any payment made
outside the United States by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Paying Agent of
principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note would, under any
present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any
certification, identification or other information reporting requirement of any
kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Issuer, the Guarantor any
Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or
identity of a beneficial owner of this Note who is a United States Alien (as
defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that would not be applicable
to a payment made by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Paying Agent (i) directly
to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the
beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or
other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United
States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b)
payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not
otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note,
as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof
(except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or
Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal
amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face
hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the
Amortized Amount), together with accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption, or, at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next
succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in
such paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon
as practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish (or
transmit, as applicable) prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice")
stating the effective date of such certification, identification or other
information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or
has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding
paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this
Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the
Issuer redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on such date, not
later than one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the
Issuer shall elect by notice to

                                      11
<PAGE>

the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or at least
30 days prior to the last day of the Redemption Notice Period specified on the
face hereof. Notice of such redemption of this Note will be given to the holder
of this Note not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof.
Such redemption notice shall include a statement as to the last date by which
this Note to be redeemed may be exchanged for Registered Notes. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall
subsequently determine, not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption or prior to the last day of the Redemption Notice Period specified
on the face hereof, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such
certification, identification or other information reporting requirement, in
which case the Issuer shall publish (or transmit, as applicable) prompt notice
of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of
no further effect. The right of the holder of this Note to exchange this Note
for Registered Notes pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph will
terminate at the close of business of the Principal Paying Agent on the
fifteenth day prior to the date fixed for redemption, and no further exchanges
of this Note for Registered Notes shall be permitted.

     If and so long as the certification, identification or other information
reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully
satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer
or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay
as additional amounts such amounts as may be necessary so that every net
payment made outside the United States following the effective date of such
requirements by the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, or any Paying
Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note of which
the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that
the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be disclosed to
the Issuer, the Guarantor, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with
respect to the payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or
withholding for or on account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge
(other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be
applicable in the circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause
of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a
result of presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 days after the
date on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof
is duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount
provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer
or the Guarantor, as the case may be, elects to pay any additional amounts
pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the right to redeem this Note
as a whole at any time pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately
preceding paragraph and the redemption price of this Note will not be reduced
for applicable withholding taxes. If the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case
may be, elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the
condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be
satisfied, then the Issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph.

     The Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will, subject to certain
exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the
"Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note who is a United States Alien
as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the

                                      12
<PAGE>

principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this
Note, after withholding for or on account of any present or future tax,
assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment
by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof
or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be
then due and payable. The Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will
not, however, be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such
holder for or on account of:

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

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

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

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

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

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

          (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by
     reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or
     constructive owner of 10% or more of the total

                                      13
<PAGE>

     combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the
     Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or

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

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

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

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

                                      14
<PAGE>

as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment
provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms
thereof), or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for
the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so
affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt
securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such
supplemental indenture.

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

     The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be [             ], unless otherwise
indicated on the face hereof.

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

                                      15
<PAGE>

     So long as this Note shall be outstanding, each of the Issuer and the
Guarantor will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of
the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein
provided. If this Note is listed on the London Stock Exchange Limited and such
Exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The
Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium
and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to
applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there
shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names
and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated.

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

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

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

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or the interest on this Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture
supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or
director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of the Guarantor
or of any successor corporation to the Issuer or the Guarantor, either directly
or through the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, or any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such
liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for
the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
