[REVERSE OF NOTE]

CREDIT SUISSE
FIRST BOSTON (USA), INC.

ProNotes Linked to the Value of a Basket of Commodities

due July 28, 2010

This Note is one
of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of
indebtedness of the Company (the “Securities”) of the series hereinafter
specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to a senior indenture,
dated as of June 1, 2001 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and JPMorgan
Chase Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Trustee, the Company, and the Holders of the Securities.  The Securities may be issued in one or more
series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal
amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different
rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be
subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any) and may
otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. 
This Note is one of a series designated as the ProNotes Linked to the Value of a Basket of Commodities due July 28,
2010 (the “Note”).

This Note will not pay interest.

This Note is payable in the manner, with the effect
and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

If a payment date is not a Business Day as defined in
the Indenture at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for
the intervening period.

The Indenture provides that, without prior notice to
any Holders, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture and the
Securities of any series with the written consent of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all series affected by
such amendment (all such series voting as one class), and the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of all series
affected thereby (all such series voting as one class) may waive future
compliance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture or the Securities
of such series by written notice to the Trustee; provided that, without the
consent of each Holder of the Securities of each series affected thereby, an
amendment or waiver, including a waiver of past defaults, may not: (i) extend
the stated maturity of the Principal of, or any sinking fund obligation or any
installment of interest on, such Holder’s Security, or reduce the principal
amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon (including any amount in respect
of original issue discount), or any premium payable with respect thereto, or
adversely affect the rights of such Holder under any mandatory redemption or
repurchase provision or any right of redemption or repurchase at the option of
such Holder, or reduce the amount of the Principal of an Original Issue
Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the
maturity thereof or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy, or change any
place of payment where, or the currency in which, any Security of such series
or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to
institute suit for the

 

R-1

 

 

enforcement of any such
payment on or after the due date therefor; (ii) reduce the percentage in
principal amount of outstanding Securities of the relevant series the consent
of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, for any
waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain
Defaults and their consequences provided for in the Indenture; (iii) waive a
Default in the payment of Principal of or interest on any Security of such
Holder; or (iv) modify any of the provisions of the Indenture governing
supplemental indentures with the consent of Securityholders except to increase any
such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture
cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each
outstanding Security affected thereby.

The Indenture provides that, subject to certain
conditions, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount (or, if any
Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
Principal as is then accelerable) of the outstanding Securities of all series
affected (voting as a single class), by notice to the Trustee, may waive an
existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such
series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of Principal of or
interest on any Security or in respect of a covenant or provision of the
Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder
of each outstanding Security affected. 
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default with respect to the Securities of such series arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Indenture; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default
or impair any right consequent thereto.

The Indenture provides that a series of Securities may
include one or more tranches (each a “tranche”) of Securities, including
Securities issued in a Periodic Offering. 
The Securities of different tranches may have one or more different
terms, including authentication dates and public offering prices, but all the
Securities within each such tranche shall have identical terms, including
authentication date and public offering price. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, subject to certain
exceptions, with respect to sections of the Indenture concerning the execution,
authentication and terms of the Securities, redemption of the Securities,
Events of Default of the Securities, defeasance of the Securities and amendment
of the Indenture, if any series of Securities includes more than one tranche,
all provisions of such sections applicable to any series of Securities shall be
deemed equally applicable to each tranche of any series of Securities in the
same manner as though originally designated a series unless otherwise provided
with respect to such series or tranche pursuant to a board resolution or a
supplemental indenture establishing such series or tranche.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision
of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Redemption Amount of
this Note in the manner, at the place, at the time and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.

The Securities are issuable initially only in
registered form without coupons in denominations of $10,000 or any integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount at the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and in the manner
and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture.

 

R-2

 

 

The Securities will not be redeemable at the option of
the Company prior to maturity.

The Company will not be required to pay any Additional
Amounts on the Securities.

Maturity
Date

The Maturity Date of the Securities is July
28, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”); however, if a market disruption event
exists on the final valuation date, as determined by the Calculation Agent, the
Maturity Date will be the later of July 28,
2010 and the fifth Business Day following the date on which the final
basket level is calculated.

Redemption
Amount

We will redeem the securities at maturity for a
redemption amount in cash that will equal the principal amount of the
securities multiplied by the sum of 1 plus the basket return.  The basket return will be based on the
difference between the final basket level and the initial basket level.  How the basket return will be calculated
depends on whether the final basket level is greater than or less than or equal
to the initial basket level:

·                  If the final
basket level is greater than the initial basket level, then the basket return
will equal:

 

	
   

  	
  final basket level – initial
  basket level

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
  109%*

  	
  initial basket
  level

  	
   

  
				

 

Thus, if the final basket level is greater than the
initial basket level, the basket return will be a positive number, and you will
receive more than the principal amount of your securities at redemption.

·                  If the final
basket level is less than the initial basket level, then the basket return will
equal:

 

	
   

  	
  initial basket level – final
  basket level

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
  40% *

  	
  initial basket
  level

  	
   

  
				

 

                Thus, if the final basket level
is less than the initial basket level, the basket return will be a positive
number, and you will receive more than the principal amount of your securities
at redemption.

·                  If the final
basket level is equal to the initial basket level, then the basket return will
be zero, and you will receive only the principal amount of your securities at
redemption.

For purposes of calculating the basket return, the
final basket level on the valuation date will be equal to the sum of:

(i) the product of (x) .07, the weighting of the
Aluminum component in the basket, and (y) the closing level of Aluminum on the
valuation date divided by 2429.75, the

Heating Oil component in the basket, and (y) the closing level of Heating Oil
on the valuation date divided by 195.80, the closing level of Heating Oil on
July 21, 2006, the date the securities are priced for initial sale to the
public;

(vi) the product of (x) .05, the weighting of the Lead
component in the basket, and (y) the closing level of Lead on the valuation
date divided by 1040.50, the closing level of Lead on July 21, 2006, the date
the securities are priced for initial sale to the public;

(vii) the product of (x) .10, the weighting of the
Natural Gas component in the basket, and (y) the closing level of Natural Gas
on the valuation date divided by 6.139, the closing level of Natural Gas on
July 21, 2006, the date the securities are priced for initial sale to the
public;

(viii)  the
product of (x) .06, the weighting of the Nickel component in the basket, and
(y) the closing level of Nickel on the valuation date divided by 25450.00, the
closing level of Nickel on July 21, 2006, the date the securities are priced
for initial sale to the public;

component in the basket, and (y) the closing level of Zinc on the valuation
date divided by 3068.50, the closing level of Zinc on July 21, 2006, the date
the securities are priced for initial sale to the public;

(xi) the product of (x) .20, the weighting of the
GSCI-ER Agriculture Index component in the basket, and (y) the closing level of
GSCI-ER Agriculture Index on the valuation date divided by 61.36206, the
closing level of GSCI-ER Agriculture Index on July 21, 2006, the date the
securities are priced for initial sale to the public; and

 

R-4

 

 

(xii) the product of (x) .10, the weighting of the
GSCI-ER Livestock Index component in the basket, and (y) the closing level of
GSCI-ER Livestock Index on the valuation date divided by 375.6968, the closing
level of GSCI-ER Livestock Index on July 21, 2006, the date the securities are
priced for initial sale to the public.

The ‘‘initial basket level’’ equals 1.0.

The ‘‘closing level’’ for each underlying commodity
and commodity index will be the closing price of such underlying commodity or
closing value of such commodity index on the valuation date.

price of the third Wednesday dated front month futures contract for one metric
ton of High Grade Primary Aluminum, stated in U.S. dollars, as determined by

The price of “Copper” is the official settlement price
of the third Wednesday dated front month futures contract for one metric ton of
Copper, stated in U.S. dollars, as determined by the London Metal Exchange.

The price of “Crude Oil” is the official settlement

The price of the “GSCI-ER Agriculture Index” is the
value of the GSCI Agriculture Excess Return Index as published on Reuters.

The price of the “GSCI-ER Livestock Index” is the
value of the GSCI Livestock Excess Return Index as published on Reuters.

The “valuation date” will be July 21, 2010; however,
if the Calculation Agent determines that on the valuation date a market
disruption event exists, then the valuation date will be postponed to the first
succeeding business day on which the Calculation Agent determines that no
market disruption event exists, unless the Calculation Agent determines that a
market disruption event exists on each of the five business days immediately
following the valuation date.  In that
case, the fifth business day after the original valuation date will be deemed
to be the valuation date notwithstanding the existence of a market disruption
event, and the Calculation Agent will determine the basket level for the
valuation date on that fifth succeeding business day.

A ‘‘business day’’ is any day on which the relevant
futures contract or commodity index is published and on which the offices of
Goldman, Sachs & Co. in New York, New York are open for business.

A ‘‘market disruption event’’ is the occurrence on any
date or any number of consecutive dates of any one or more of the following
circumstances:  (a) the termination or
suspension of, or material limitation or disruption for at least two hours in
the trading of a commodity or a futures contract thereon included in the
underlying basket or any commodity or a futures contract thereon underlying the
GSCI-ER Livestock Index or GSCI-ER Agriculture Index that prevents the relevant
exchange on which such commodity is traded from establishing an official
settlement price for such commodity or contract as of a regularly scheduled
settlement time; (b) the settlement price for any commodity or a futures
contract thereon included in the underlying basket or commodity underlying the
GSCI-ER Livestock Index or GSCI-ER Agriculture Index is a ‘‘limit price,’’
which means that such settlement price for a day has increased or decreased
from the previous day’s settlement price by the maximum amount permitted under
applicable exchange rules; (c) failure by the applicable exchange or other
price source to announce or publish the settlement price for any commodity or a
futures contract thereon included in the underlying basket or commodity
underlying the GSCI-ER Livestock Index or the GSCI-ER Agriculture Index; and (d)
failure of Goldman, Sachs & Co. to publish the value for the GSCI-ER
Livestock Index or the GSCI-ER Agriculture Index, subject to certain
adjustments described below.

 

R-6

 

 

Market Disruption Events

If the Calculation Agent
determines that a market disruption event exists in respect of a commodity
included in the underlying basket or the GSCI-ER Livestock Index or the GSCI-ER
Agriculture Index (together the ‘‘basket components’’), then the valuation date
for such basket component will be postponed to the first succeeding business
day on which the Calculation Agent determines that no market disruption event
exists, unless the Calculation Agent determines that a market disruption event
exists on each of the five business days immediately following the valuation
date.  In that case, (a) the fifth
succeeding business day after the original valuation date will be deemed to be
the valuation date, notwithstanding the market disruption event, and (b) the
Calculation Agent will determine the settlement price for such basket component
in a commercially reasonable manner.  The
valuation date for each basket component not affected by a market disruption
event will be the scheduled valuation date.

In the event that a
market disruption event exists on the valuation date, the maturity date of the
securities will be the later of July 28, 2010 and the fifth business day
following the day on which the final basket level is calculated.  No interest or other payment will be payable
because of any such postponement of the maturity date.

Adjustments
to the calculation of the GSCI-ER Livestock Index or the GSCI-ER Agriculture
Index

If either the GSCI-ER
Livestock Index or the GSCI-ER Agriculture Index is not calculated and
announced by Goldman, Sachs & Co. but (a) is calculated and announced by a
successor acceptable to the Calculation Agent or (b) is replaced by a successor
index using, in the determination of the Calculation Agent, the same or a
substantially similar formula for and method of calculation as used in the
calculation of the GSCI-ER Livestock Index or GSCI-ER Agriculture Index, as the
case may be, then the GSCI-ER Livestock Index or GSCI-ER Agriculture Index, as
applicable, will be deemed to be the index so calculated and announced by that
successor sponsor or that successor index, as the case may be.

Upon any selection by the
Calculation Agent of a successor index, the Calculation Agent will cause notice
to be furnished to us and the trustee, which will provide notice of the
selection of the successor index to the registered holders of the securities in
the manner set forth below.

If (x) on or prior to the
valuation date Goldman, Sachs & Co. makes, in the determination of the
Calculation Agent, a material change in the formula for or the method of
calculating the GSCI-ER Livestock Index or the GSCI-ER Agriculture Index or in
any other way materially modifies the GSCI-ER Livestock Index or the GSCI-ER
Agriculture Index or (y) on the valuation date Goldman, Sachs & Co. (or a
successor sponsor) fails to calculate and announce the GSCI-ER Livestock Index
or the GSCI-ER Agriculture Index and there is no comparable index available,
then the Calculation Agent will calculate the redemption amount using, in lieu
of a published level for the GSCI-ER Livestock Index or the GSCI-ER Agriculture
Index, as the case may be, the level for the index as on the valuation date as
determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and
method of calculating the GSCI-ER Livestock Index or the GSCI-ER Agriculture
Index, as the case may be, last in effect prior to that change or failure, but
using only those commodities that comprised the GSCI-ER Livestock

 

 

R-7

 

 

Index or the GSCI-ER
Agriculture Index, as the case may be, immediately prior to that change or
failure.  Notice of adjustment of the
GSCI-ER Livestock Index or the GSCI-ER Agriculture Index will be provided by
the trustee in the manner set forth below.

All determinations made
by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation
Agent and will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on us and the
beneficial owners of the securities, absent manifest error.

Events of Default and Acceleration

In case an Event of
Default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Securities shall have
occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any
acceleration of the Securities (in accordance with the acceleration provisions
set forth in the Indenture) will be determined by the Calculation Agent and
will equal, for each Note, the arithmetic average, as determined by the
Calculation Agent, of the fair value of the Securities as determined by at
least three but not more than five broker-dealers (which may include Credit
Suisse First Boston LLC or any of the Company’s other subsidiaries or affiliates)
as will make such fair value determination available to the Calculation Agent.

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute
owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the Redemption Amount
hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor
any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or
agreement contained in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or
in any Note, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had
against any incorporator as such, or against any past, present or future
stockholder, officer, director or employee, as such, of the Company or of any
successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any
rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any
assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as
part of the consideration for the issue hereof.

The calculation agent for the Securities (the “Calculation
Agent”) is Credit Suisse First Boston International.  The calculations and determinations of the
Calculation Agent will be final and binding upon all parties (except in the
case of manifest error).  The Calculation
Agent will have no responsibility for good faith errors or omissions in its
calculations and determinations, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.

Terms used herein that are defined in the Indenture
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned
thereto in the Indenture.

The laws of the State of New York (without regard to
conflicts of laws principles thereof) shall govern this Note.
