Annual Interest Rate on Unpaid Principal from Date of Funding: Eight percent (8%)

Terms of Payment: Principal and interest shall be due and payable on demand, interest being
calculated on the unpaid principal balance to the date of each installment paid, and the payment
made credited first to the discharge of interest accrued and the balance to the reduction of the

in a year consisting of 365 days on the principal.

Annual Interest Rate on Demanded, Unpaid Amounts: The highest rate allowed by law.

Security for Payment: None

     Maker promises to pay to the order of Payee at the place for payment and according to the
terms of payment the principal amount plus interest at the rates stated above. All unpaid amounts
shall be due upon demand.

     On default in the payment of this note or in the performance of any obligation in any
instrument securing or collateral to it, this note and all obligations in all instruments securing
or collateral to it shall become immediately due at the election of Payee. Maker and each surety,
endorser, and guarantor waive all demands for payment, presentations for payment, notices of
intention to accelerate maturity, notices of acceleration of maturity, protest, and notices of
protest.

     If this note or any instrument securing or collateral to it is given to an attorney for
collection or enforcement, or if suit is brought for collection or enforcement, or if it is
collected or enforced through probate, bankruptcy, or other judicial proceeding, then Maker shall
pay Payee reasonable attorney’s fees in addition to other amounts due. Reasonable attorney’s fees
shall be 10.0% of all amounts due unless either party pleads otherwise.

     Nothing in this note shall authorize the collection of interest in excess of the highest rate
allowed by law.

 

 

     Maker reserves the right to prepay the outstanding principal balance of this Note, in whole or
in part, at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty. Any such pre-payment shall
be made together with payment of interest accrued on the amount of principal being prepaid through
the date of such prepayment, and shall be applied to the installments of principal due hereunder in
the inverse order of maturity.

     Each Maker is responsible for the entire amount of this note.

     The terms Maker and Payee and other nouns and pronouns include the plural if more than one.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO FIXED RATE NOTES ONLY:

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

     If the "Fixed Rate" line above is checked, unless otherwise specified
above, the Company will pay interest semiannually on March 15 and September 15
of each year (each such date fixed for the payment of interest, an "Interest
Payment Date") and on the Maturity Date or upon earlier redemption or repayment
to the person to whom principal is payable. Interest shall accrue from the
Original Issue Date, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for on this Note to, but excluding, the
next following Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, or earlier date of
redemption or repayment, as the case may be. Interest on Fixed Rate Notes will
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

     Unless otherwise specified above, if any Interest Payment Date or the
Maturity Date (or the date of earlier redemption or repayment) of this Fixed
Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment will be made on
the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and
no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or the date of earlier
redemption or repayment), as the case may be.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO FLOATING RATE NOTES ONLY:

     If the "Floating Rate" line on page one of this Note is checked, the
Company will pay interest on the Interest Payment Dates shown specified above at
the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the first Interest Reset Date
specified above following the Original Issue Date specified above and thereafter
at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions hereinafter set forth
under the headings "Determination of CD Rate," "Determination of CMT Rate,"
"Determination of Commercial Paper Rate," "Determination of Federal Funds Rate,"
"Determination of LIBOR," "Determination of Prime Rate" or "Determination of
Treasury Rate," depending on whether the Interest Rate Basis is the CD Rate, the
CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, the Prime
Rate, the Treasury Rate or other Interest Rate Basis.

     An interest payment shall be the amount of interest accrued from and
including the Original Issue Date, or from and including the last Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid, to, but excluding, the next
following Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, or date of earlier redemption or
repayment, as the case may be (an "Interest Period"). Notwithstanding any
provision herein to the contrary, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater
than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate,
if any, specified above.

     Unless otherwise specified above, if any Interest Payment Date for any
Floating Rate Note, other than an Interest Payment Date at maturity, would fall
on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be the
following day that is a Business Day, and interest will continue to accrue to
the following Business Day, except that if LIBOR is the applicable Interest Rate
Basis, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such
Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding day that is a Business
Day. If the Maturity Date (or date of earlier redemption or repayment) of any
Floating Rate Note would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment
of interest and principal (and premium, if any) may be

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment will
accrue for the period from and after the Maturity Date (or the date of earlier
redemption or repayment).

     Commencing with the first Interest Reset Date specified above following the
Original Issue Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be
adjusted daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually as
specified above under "Interest Reset Dates."

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

     (i) Unless the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as a
"Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note" or an "Inverse Floating Rate Note" or in the
event either "Other Provisions" or an Addendum hereto applies, in each case,
relating to a different interest rate formula, this Note shall be designated as
a "Regular Floating Rate Note" and, except as set forth below or specified above
under "Other Provisions" or in an Addendum hereto, shall bear interest at the
rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a)
plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the
applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above.
Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on
this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date
specified above; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the
period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date
shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

     (ii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as a
"Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note" then, except as set forth below or specified
above under "Other Provisions" or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear
interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate
Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (b)
multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified above.
Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on
this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date;
provided, however, that (y) the interest rate in effect for the period, if any,
from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the
Initial Interest Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the period
commencing on, and including, the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified above
to the Maturity Date (or date of earlier redemption or repayment) shall be the
Fixed Interest Rate specified above or, if no Fixed Interest Rate is so
specified, the interest rate in effect on the day immediately preceding the
Fixed Rate Commencement Date.

     (iii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified above as an
"Inverse Floating Rate Note" then, except as set forth below or specified above
under "Other Provisions" or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest
at (a) the Fixed Interest Rate specified above minus (b) the rate determined by
reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases:

     (x) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or

     (y) multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as
specified above;

provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified above under "Other
Provisions" or in an Addendum hereto, the interest rate hereon shall not be less
than zero. Commencing on the Initial

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable
shall be reset on each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest
rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the
Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate set forth above.

     The "Spread" is the number of basis points (one basis point equals
one-hundredth of a percentage point) specified above to be added to or
subtracted from the Interest Rate Basis for a Floating Rate Note, and the
"Spread Multiplier" is the percentage specified above by which the Interest Rate
Basis for such Floating Rate Note will be multiplied. Both a Spread and/or a
Spread Multiplier may be applicable to the Interest Rate Basis for a particular
Floating Rate Note, as set forth above.

     Each such adjusted Interest Rate Basis shall be applicable on and after the
Interest Reset Date to which it relates but not including the next succeeding
Interest Reset Date. If any Interest Reset Date is a day that is not a Business
Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a
Business Day, except that if the rate of interest on this Note shall be
determined by reference to LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding
calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding
Business Day. In addition, if the Treasury Rate is the applicable Interest Rate
Basis and the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest
Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next
succeeding Business Day. Subject to applicable provisions of law (including
usury laws) and except as specified in this Note, on each Interest Reset Date,
the rate of interest on this Note shall be the rate determined in accordance
with the provisions of the applicable heading below.

     With respect to a Floating Rate Note, accrued interest shall be calculated
by multiplying the principal amount of thereof by an accrued interest factor.
Such accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factors
calculated for each day in the Interest Period or from the last date from which
accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each such day is
computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the
cases of CD Rate Notes, Commercial Paper Rate Notes, Federal Funds Rate Notes,
LIBOR Notes and Prime Rate Notes or by the number of days in the year, in the
cases of CMT Rate Notes and Treasury Rate Notes. The interest rate applicable to
any day that is an Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate effective on
such Interest Reset Date. The interest rate applicable to any other day will be
the interest rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if
none, the Initial Interest Rate, as specified above).

     The interest determination date relating to a Floating Rate Note with an
interest rate that is determined by reference to two or more interest rate bases
will be the second Business Day prior to the interest reset date on which each
interest rate basis is determinable.

     The "Calculation Date," where applicable, pertaining to an Interest
Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such
Interest Determination Date or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable
Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or the date of earlier redemption or
repayment), as the case may be.

                                       -7-

<PAGE>

     U.S. Bank National Association shall be the calculation agent unless
another calculation agent is specified above (the "Calculation Agent"). The
interest rate applicable to each interest period will be determined by the
Calculation Agent on or prior to the applicable Calculation Date. At the request
of the Holder, the Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in
effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective on the
next Interest Reset Date.

     Unless provided above, interest on Floating Rate Notes will be payable (i)
in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a daily, weekly or monthly interest
reset date, on the third Wednesday of each month or on the third Wednesday of
March, June, September and December of each year, as specified above; (ii) in
the case of Floating Rate Notes with a quarterly interest reset date, on the
third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; (iii) in
the case of Floating Rate Notes with a semi-annual interest reset date, on the
third Wednesday of the two months of each year as specified above; (iv) in the
case of Floating Rate Notes with an annual interest reset date, on the third
Wednesday of the month of each year as specified above; and (v) at maturity.

     All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on a
Floating Rate Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one
hundred-thousandth of a percent (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a
percentage point rounded upward, and all dollar amounts used in or resulting
from such calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded to the nearest cent
(with one-half cent being rounded upward).

     DETERMINATION OF CD RATE. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above,
is, or is calculated by reference to, the CD Rate, unless otherwise specified
above, the "CD Rate" for each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the
Calculation Agent as of the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset
Date (a "CD Interest Determination Date") and shall be the rate on the
applicable CD Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar
certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified above as published
in H.15(519) (as defined below) on such CD Interest Determination Date under the
heading "CDs (secondary market)." If the rate referred to in the preceding
sentence is not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable
Calculation Date, the CD Rate shall be the rate on the applicable CD Interest
Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit
of the Index Maturity specified above as published in H.15 Daily Update (as
defined below), or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of
displaying the applicable rate, under the caption "CDs (secondary market)." If
the rate referred to in the preceding sentence is not so published by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, the CD Rate shall be the
rate on the applicable CD Interest Determination Date calculated by the
Calculation Agent on the Notes as the arithmetic mean of the secondary market
offered rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable CD
Interest Determination Date, of three leading non-bank dealers in negotiable
United States dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by
the Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of
deposit of major United States money market banks with a remaining maturity
closest to the Index Maturity specified above in an amount that is
representative for a single transaction in that market at that time. If the
dealers selected by the Calculation Agent as provided in the preceding

                                       -8-

<PAGE>

sentence are not quoting as mentioned in such sentence, the CD Rate shall be the
CD Rate in effect on the applicable CD Interest Determination Date.

     "H.15(519)" means the weekly statistical release designated as H.15(519),
or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System.

     "H.15 Daily Update" means the daily update of H.15(519), available through
the world-wide-web site of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or
publication.

     DETERMINATION OF CMT RATE. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above,
is, or is calculated by reference to, the CMT Rate, unless otherwise specified
above, the "CMT Rate" for each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the
Calculation Agent as of the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset
Date (a "CMT Interest Determination Date") and shall be the rate displayed on
the Designated CMT Moneyline 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
for (i) if the Designated CMT Moneyline Telerate Page is specified above as
7051, the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be a percentage
equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at "constant maturity"
having the Index Maturity specified above, as published in H.15(519) under the
caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," as the yield is displayed on Moneyline
Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) ("Moneyline Telerate"), on page 7051
(or any other page as may replace page 7051 on that service) ("Moneyline
Telerate Page 7051"), for the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date. If the
rate referred to in the preceding sentence does not appear on Moneyline Telerate
Page 7051, the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be a
percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at "constant
maturity" having the Index Maturity specified above, and for the applicable CMT
Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519) under the caption
"Treasury Constant Maturities." In the event the rate referred to in the
preceding sentence does not appear in H.15(519), then the CMT Rate for such CMT
Interest Determination Date will be the rate on the applicable CMT Interest
Determination Date for the period of the Index Maturity specified above, as may
then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent
determines to be comparable to the rate which would otherwise have been
published in H.15(519). In the event the rate referred to in the preceding
sentence is not published, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest
Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield to
maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at
approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Interest
Determination Date of three leading primary United States government securities
dealers in The City of New York (each a "Reference Dealer"), selected by the
Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers and eliminating the highest
quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest), and the lowest
quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for United States
Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity
specified above, a remaining term to maturity no more than one year shorter than
such Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a
single transaction in the securities in the market at that time. If fewer than
five but more than two of the prices referred to in the above sentence are

                                       -9-

<PAGE>

provided as requested, the CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination
Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of
the bid prices obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of the
quotations shall be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three
prices referred to above are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on the
applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation
Agent as a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary
market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the
applicable CMT Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected
by the Calculation Agent from five Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation
Agent and eliminating the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of
the highest and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest, for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater
than such Index Maturity, and a remaining term to maturity closest to such Index
Maturity, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single
transaction in the securities in the market at that time. However, if fewer than
five but more than two prices referred to above are provided as requested, the
CMT Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by
the Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained,
and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations will be eliminated. If
fewer than three prices referred to above are provided as requested, the CMT
Rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in
effect on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the CMT
Moneyline Telerate Page is 7052, the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest
Determination Date will be a percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as
specified above, and will be the average yield for United States Treasury
securities at "constant maturity" having the Index Maturity specified above, as
published in H.15(519) opposite the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," as
the yield is displayed on Moneyline Telerate on page 7052 (or any other page as
may replace page 7052 on that service) ("Moneyline Telerate Page 7052"), for the
week or month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as
applicable, in which the related CMT Interest Determination Date falls. If the
rate referred to in the preceding sentence does not appear on Moneyline Telerate
Page 7052, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be a
percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield
for United States Treasury securities at "constant maturity" having the Index
Maturity specified above, and for the week or month, as applicable, preceding
the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date as published in H.15(519)
opposite the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities." If the rate referred to in
the preceding sentence does not appear in H.15(519), then the CMT Rate for such
CMT Interest Determination Date will be the one-week or one-month, as specified
above, average yield for United States Treasury securities at "constant
maturity" having the Index Maturity specified above, as otherwise announced by
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the week or month, as applicable, ended
immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which the related CMT
Interest Determination Date falls. If the Federal Reserve Bank of New York does
not publish the rate referred to above, the rate on the applicable CMT Interest
Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as a yield to
maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at
approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable CMT Interest
Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent
(from five such Reference Dealers and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in
the event of equality, one of the highest), and the lowest quotation (or, in the
event of equality, one of the lowest)), for United States Treasury securities
with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified above, and a

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

remaining term to maturity no more than one year shorter than such Index
Maturity, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single
transaction in the securities in the market at that time. If fewer than five but
more than two of the prices referred to above are provided as requested, the
rate on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained, and
neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations shall be eliminated. If
fewer than three prices referred to above are provided as requested, the rate on
the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent as a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the
secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time,
on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers
selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers and
eliminating the highest quotation or (in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest)), for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity
greater than the Index Maturity specified above, and a remaining term to
maturity closest to such Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is
representative for a single transaction in the securities in the market at that
time. If fewer than five but more than two prices referred to above are provided
as requested, the rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent based on the
arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained, and neither the highest nor the
lowest of the quotations will be eliminated, or if fewer than three prices
referred to above are provided as requested, the CMT Rate will be the CMT Rate
in effect on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date. If two United
States Treasury securities with an original maturity greater than the Index
Maturity as specified above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to
such Index Maturity, the quotes for the United States Treasury security with the
shorter original remaining term to maturity will be used.

     "Designated CMT Moneyline Telerate Page" means the display on Moneyline
Telerate or any successor service on the page specified above (or any other page
as may replace the specified page on that service for the purpose of displaying
Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519)). If no such page is
specified above, the Designated CMT Moneyline 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 (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years)
specified above with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no
such maturity is specified, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two
years.

DETERMINATION OF COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified
above, is, or is calculated by reference to, the Commercial Paper Rate, unless
otherwise specified above, the "Commercial Paper Rate" for each Interest Reset
Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the first Business Day
prior to such Interest Reset Date (a "Commercial Paper Interest Determination
Date") and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined below) on such date of
the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity as indicated above, as
such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the caption "Commercial
Paper-Nonfinancial." In the event that such rate is not published prior to 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, then the
Commercial Paper Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Money
Market Yield of the Commercial Paper Rate on the applicable Commercial Paper

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity
specified above, published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic
source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption
"Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial" (an index maturity of one month will be deemed
equivalent to an index maturity of 30 days and an index maturity of three months
will be deemed to be equivalent to an index maturity of 90 days). If by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, such rate is not
yet published as provided in the preceding sentence, then the Commercial Paper
Rate on the applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date shall be
calculated by the Calculation Agent as the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic
mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on
the applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date of three leading
dealers of United States dollar commercial paper in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity
specified above, placed for industrial issuers whose bond rating is "Aa," or the
equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization;
provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting offered rates as mentioned in this sentence, the
Commercial Paper Rate will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on the
applicable Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date.

     "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the
following formula and expressed as a percentage:

                              D X 360
      Money market yield = ------------- X 100
                           360 - (D X M)

where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on
a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal; and "M" refers to the actual
number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

     DETERMINATION OF FEDERAL FUNDS RATE. If the Interest Rate Basis, as
specified above, is, or is calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate,
unless otherwise specified above, the "Federal Funds Rate" with respect to each
Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the first
Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a "Federal Funds Interest
Determination Date") and shall be the rate on that date for United States dollar
Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds
(Effective)," as displayed on Moneyline Telerate on page 120 or any other page
as may replace the applicable page on that service ("Moneyline Telerate Page
120") or, if such rate does not appear on Moneyline Telerate Page 120, or is not
so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation
Date, the rate on the applicable Federal Funds Interest Determination Date for
United States dollar Federal Funds will be the rate on such Federal Funds
Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or other
recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable
rate, under the caption "Federal Funds/Effective Rate." If such rate is not so
published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date,
the Federal Funds Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be
the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight United
States dollar Federal

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

Funds arranged by three leading brokers of United States dollar Federal Funds
transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent before
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Federal Funds Interest
Determination Date; provided, however, that if the brokers selected as aforesaid
by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the
Federal Funds Rate will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on the applicable
Federal Funds Interest Determination Date.

     DETERMINATION OF LIBOR. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified above, is,
or is calculated by reference to, LIBOR, unless otherwise specified above,
"LIBOR" for each Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent
as of the second London Banking Day prior to such Interest Reset Date (a "LIBOR
Interest Determination Date") and in accordance with the following provisions:

     (i) LIBOR will be either: (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified above, LIBOR
     will be the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified
     Designated LIBOR Page (as defined below) by its terms provides only for a
     single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for deposits in
     the LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on
     the second London Banking Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest
     Determination Date, that appear on the Designated LIBOR Page specified
     above, as of 11:00 a.m. London time, on the applicable LIBOR Interest
     Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as
     aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page,
     or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified above or if neither "LIBOR Reuters"
     nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the method for calculating LIBOR,
     LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in the LIBOR Currency (as defined
     below) having the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on the second
     London Banking Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination
     Date that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London
     time, on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If fewer than
     two such offered rates appear, or if no such rate appears, as the case may
     be, LIBOR in respect of the related LIBOR Interest Determination Date will
     be determined in accordance with provisions described in clause (ii) below.

     (ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer
     than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on
     the applicable Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the
     rate calculated by the Calculation Agent will be the arithmetic mean of at
     least two quotations obtained by the Calculation Agent after requesting the
     principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the
     London interbank market to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered
     quotation for deposits in the LIBOR Currency for the period of the Index
     Maturity specified above, commencing on the second London Banking Day
     immediately following the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date, to
     prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m.,
     London time, on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a
     principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the
     applicable LIBOR Currency in that market at that time. If fewer than two
     quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on the

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

     applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date calculated by the Calculation
     Agent will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately
     11:00 a.m., in the applicable Principal Financial Center, on the LIBOR
     Interest Determination Date by three major banks in the applicable
     Principal Financial Center(s) selected by the Calculation Agent for loans
     in the LIBOR Currency to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity
     specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a
     single transaction in the applicable LIBOR Currency in that market at that
     time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation
     Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined as of
     such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the LIBOR rate in effect on
     the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

     "LIBOR Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies)
specified above as the currency for which LIBOR shall be calculated. If no such
currency is specified above, the LIBOR Currency shall be United States dollars.

     "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified
above, the display on the Reuters 3000 Xtra Service on page "LIBO," or any other
page as may replace the specified page on that service for the purpose of
displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable LIBOR
Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified above or neither "LIBOR
Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the method for calculating LIBOR,
the display on Moneyline Telerate on page 3750 or any page as may replace the
specified page on that service for the purpose of displaying the London
interbank rates of major banks for the applicable LIBOR Currency.

     DETERMINATION OF PRIME RATE. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified
above, is, or is calculated by reference to, the Prime Rate, unless otherwise
specified above, the "Prime Rate" with respect to each Interest Reset Date will
be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the first Business Day prior to
such Interest Reset Date (a "Prime Interest Determination Date") and shall be
the rate set forth on such date as published in H.15(519) under the caption
"Bank Prime Loan," or if not so published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such Prime Interest
Determination Date, then the Prime Rate will be as published in H.15 Daily
Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of
displaying the applicable rate under the caption "Bank Prime Loan," or if not so
published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation
Date pertaining to such Prime Interest Determination Date, then the Prime Rate
will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates
of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen
US PRIME 1 Page (as defined below) as the particular bank's prime rate or base
lending rate as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Prime
Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates are so published by
3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date as shown on
the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page for the Prime Interest Determination Date,
the Prime Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic
mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual
number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business
on the applicable Prime Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The
City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent. However, if the banks
selected by the

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in the preceding sentence, the
Prime Rate will be the Prime Rate in effect on the applicable Prime Interest
Determination Date.

     "Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page" means the display on the Reuters 3000 Xtra
Service or any successor service on the "US PRIME 1 Page" or other page as may
replace the US PRIME 1 Page on such service for the purpose of displaying prime
rates or base lending rates of major United States banks.

     DETERMINATION OF TREASURY RATE. If the Interest Rate Basis, as specified
above, is, or is calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate, unless otherwise
specified above, the "Treasury Rate" for each Interest Reset Date will be the
rate from the auction held on the applicable Interest Determination Date (the
"Auction") of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having
the Index Maturity, as specified above, as published under the caption
"INVESTMENT RATE" on the display on Moneyline Telerate on page 56 or any other
page as may replace page 56 on that service or page 57 or any other page as may
replace page 57 on that service, or, if the rate is not so published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date pertaining to such
Treasury Rate Determination Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction rate
of the applicable Treasury Bills announced by the United States Department of
the Treasury, or, if the rate is not announced by the United States Department
of the Treasury, or if the Auction is not held, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the
rate on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date of Treasury Bills having
the Index Maturity specified above, published in H.15(519) under the caption
"U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market," or, if the rate is
not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation
Date pertaining to such Treasury Rate Determination Date, the rate on the
applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date of the applicable Treasury Bills as
published in H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for
the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the caption "U.S.
Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market." In the event that the
results of the auction of Treasury Bills having the applicable Index Maturity
specified above are not published or reported, as provided above, by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date or if no such auction is
held on such Treasury Rate Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate on the
applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date shall be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean
of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City
time, on the applicable Treasury Rate Determination Date, of three primary
United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent,
for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to such Index
Maturity; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the
Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury
Rate will be the Treasury Rate in effect on the applicable Treasury Rate
Determination Date.

     The "Treasury Rate Determination Date" for any Interest Reset Date will be
the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury
Bills would normally be auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction
on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the
auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except such auction may be
held on the preceding Friday. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Treasury Rate
Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next
succeeding week.

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

                                  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 and expressed as a decimal; "N" refers to 365 or 366; as the
case may be, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the interest period
for which interest is being calculated.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO BOTH FIXED RATE NOTES AND FLOATING RATE NOTES:

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

     Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note
due on the Maturity Date or any earlier redemption or repayment date will be
made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Note
and, in the event of any repayment on a Repayment Date, as specified above, upon
submission of the form "Option to Elect Repayment" on the reverse of this Note
duly completed, at the Place of Payment specified above; provided, however, that
if a Specified Currency is specified above and such payment is to be made in
such Specified Currency in accordance with the provisions set forth below, such
payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account with a bank designated by the Holder hereof at least 15 calendar days
prior to the Maturity Date or such earlier redemption or repayment date, as the
case may be, provided that such bank has

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

appropriate facilities therefor and that this Note is presented and surrendered
at the Place of Payment specified above in time for the Trustee to make such
payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payment of
interest due on any Interest Payment Date, other than the Maturity Date or any
earlier redemption or repayment date, will be made at the Place of Payment
specified above or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address
of the Holder hereof as such address shall appear in the Register (as defined in
the Indenture) maintained by the Trustee; and provided further that a Holder of
U.S.$10,000,000 (or, if a Specified Currency is specified above, the equivalent
thereof in such Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of
Notes (whether having identical or different terms and provisions) will be
entitled to receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date by wire
transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15
calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any such wire transfer
instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by
such Holder.

     The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest in respect of this Note in United States dollars or, if a Specified
Currency is indicated above, in such Specified Currency (or, if such Specified
Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of
public and private debts of the country issuing such currency or, in the case of
the Euro, in the member states of the European Union that have adopted the
single currency in accordance with the Treaty Establishing the European
Community, as amended by the Treaty on European Union, such other currency which
is then such legal tender in such country or in the adopting member states of
the European Union, as the case may be). If a Specified Currency is specified
above, except as otherwise provided below, any such amounts so payable by the
Company will be converted by a New York clearing house bank designated by the
Company (the "Exchange Rate Agent") into United States dollars for payment to
the Holder of this Note.

     If a Specified Currency is specified above, the Holder of this Note may
elect to receive any amount payable hereunder in such Specified Currency. If the
Holder of this Note shall not have duly made an election to receive all or a
specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest
in respect of this Note in such Specified Currency, any United States dollar
amount to be received by the Holder of this Note will be based on the highest
bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at
approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day
preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange
dealers (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange
Rate Agent and approved by the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of
the Specified Currency for United States dollars for settlement on such payment
date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all Holders of
Notes scheduled to receive United States dollar payments and at which the
applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange costs
will be borne by the Holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If
three such bid quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made
in the Specified Currency.

     If a Specified Currency is specified above, the Holder of this Note may
elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal,
premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in such Specified
Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

Trustee at the Place of Payment specified above on or prior to the applicable
Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date (or any
earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Such written request
may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by facsimile transmission. The Holder of
this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments
in the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or
interest and need not file a separate election for each payment. Such election
will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but
written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or
prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the
Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

     If a Specified Currency is specified above and the Holder of this Note
shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any
payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note
in such Specified Currency, but such Specified Currency is not available for
such payment due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances
beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its
obligations to the Holder of this Note by making such payment in United States
dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) determined
by the Exchange Rate Agent on the second Business Day prior to such payment date
or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most
recently available Market Exchange Rate on or before the date on which such
payment is due. The "Market Exchange Rate" for the Specified Currency means the
noon dollar-buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of the
Specified Currency as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified,
as otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment
made in United States dollars under such circumstances shall not constitute an
Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture).

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

     In case an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to
Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount (or, if

like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms

Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.

     The Company can "reopen" a previously issued tranche of Notes and issue

market or otherwise. Notes so purchased by the Company may be held or resold or,
at the discretion of the Company, may be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

     By acceptance of this Note, the Holder hereof agrees to be bound by the
provisions of the Indenture. Terms used herein, which are defined in the
Indenture, shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Indenture.
