OTHER PROVISIONS:

         General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together
with its successors and assigns, the "Company"), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assignees, the principal sum (or
Face Amount, if the Note has a dual-currency or index feature) specified in
Schedule I hereto on the Maturity Date specified above (except to the extent
redeemed or repaid prior to the Maturity Date) and to pay interest thereon from
the Original Issue Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial
Interest Rate specified above until the first Interest Reset Date next
succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and thereafter at a rate per
annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse
hereof until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment
(except as provided below). The Company will pay interest in arrears monthly,
quarterly, semiannually, or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment
Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the
first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified
above, and on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date); provided,
however, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Record Date, as
defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments
will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Original Issue
Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to
such second Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that if an Interest
Payment Date (other than maturity) would fall on a day that is not a Business
Day (this and certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined on the
reverse of this Note), such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day
that is a Business Day, except that if the Interest Rate Basis specified above
is LIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the
Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business
Day.

         [With respect to any dual-currency Notes, the Company may elect on
each Option Election Date specified above (each such date herein being called an
"Option Election Date") to pay the amounts due on this Note on the succeeding
Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in the Optional
Payment Currency specified above (the "Optional Payment Currency") instead of in
the Face Amount Currency. The amounts due in the Optional Payment Currency on
any Interest Payment Date or at the Maturity Date, as the case may be, shall be
determined by the Company using the Designated Exchange Rate specified above
(the "Designated Exchange Rate"). If such election is made, the Company shall
notify the Paying Agent, as defined below, of the election on the Option
Election Date and notice of such election shall be mailed to the registered
holder of this Note by first class mail, postage prepaid, at the address of such
holder as that address appears upon the books of the Company within two Business
Days (this and certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined on the
reverse of this Note) of the Option Election Date and shall state (i) the
Interest Payment Date and (ii) the exchange rate to be used to convert amounts
from the Face Amount Currency to the Optional Payment Currency, which rate shall
be the Designated Exchange Rate. Any such notice by the Company to the
registered holder of this Note, once given, may not be withdrawn. If the Company
elects on any Option Election Date to pay

                                        3

<PAGE>

the amounts due on each succeeding Interest Payment Date or at the Maturity
Date, as the case may be, in the Optional Payment Currency, then it shall pay
all such amounts (including principal) due with respect to this Note in the
Optional Payment Currency on each succeeding Interest Payment Date or at the
Maturity Date, as the case may be. If the Company does not elect on an Option
Election Date to pay the amount due on the succeeding Interest Payment Date or
at the Maturity Date, as the case may be, in the Optional Payment Currency, then
such payment shall be made in the Face Amount Currency and no notice of such
payment need be given.]/6/

         Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due
at the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) will be made in
immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency
of such paying agent as the Company may determine maintained for that purpose in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (a "Paying Agent"), or at the
office or agency of such other Paying Agent as the Company may determine.

         Interest on this Note will accrue initially from the Original Issue
Date and thereafter will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for and such interest thereafter
will accrue until 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 person in whose name this Note (or
one or more predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business on the date
15 days prior to an Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) (each
such date a "Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable on the
Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) will be payable to the
person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

         If the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof is other than
U.S. dollars, any payment on this Note on an Interest Payment Date or the
Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) will be made in U.S. dollars
based on the noon U.S. dollar buying rate in the City of New York for cable
transfers of such Specified Currency, on the second Business Day (this and
certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined on the reverse of this
Note) preceding the applicable payment date, as certified by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York for customs purposes, unless the holder hereof elects by
written request (which request shall also include appropriate wire transfer
instructions) to the Paying Agent at its corporate trust office in The City of
New York received on or prior to the Record Date relating to an Interest Payment
Date or at least 10 days prior to the Maturity Date (or any redemption or
repayment date), as the case may be, to receive such payment in such Specified
Currency except as provided on the reverse hereof; provided, that the amount of
such Specified Currency to be received by a holder of this Note who so elects to
receive such Specified Currency will be based on a firm bid quotation in New
York City received by the Exchange Rate Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof,
at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day
preceding the applicable payment date from a recognized foreign exchange dealer
(which may be the Exchange Rate Agent) for the purchase by the quoting dealer of
U.S. dollars in exchange for such Specified Currency for settlement on such
payment date in the aggregate amount of such Specified Currency payable to all
holders of Notes having the same terms as this Note (including Original Issue
Date) that have so elected to receive such Specified Currency and at which the
applicable dealer commits to execute a contract; provided, further, that if such
bid quotation is not available, such payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars. All
currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note who so elects
to receive such Specified Currency by deductions from such payments. The holder
hereof may elect to receive payment in such Specified Currency for all such
payments and need not file a separate election for each such payment, and such
election shall remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Paying
Agent at its corporate trust office in The City of New York received on a date
prior to the Record Date for the relevant Interest Payment Date or at least 10
days prior to the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), as the
case may be; provided, however, that such election is irrevocable as to the next
succeeding payment to which it relates; if such election is made as to full
payment on this Note, such election may thereafter be revoked so long as the
Paying Agent is notified of the revocation within the time period set forth
above.

         If the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof is U.S. dollars,
payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note will
be made in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that
payments of interest, other than interest due

at maturity (or any redemption or repayment date) will be made by United States
dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S.$5,000,000 or more in
aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date will
be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity
or any date of redemption or repayment, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account maintained by the holder of this Note if
appropriate wire transfer instructions in writing have been received by the
Paying Agent not less than 10 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment
Date.

         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
the Trustee, as defined on the reverse hereof, by manual signature, this Note
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 NOTE]

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Global Medium-Term
Notes, Series A, having maturities from nine months to 60 years from the date of
issue (the "Notes") of the Company. The Notes are issuable under a Third Amended
and Restated Indenture, dated as of February 27, 1997 between the Company and
The Chase Manhattan Bank as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as
of May 3, 1999 and the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 2, 2001
(such indenture as amended and supplemented to the date hereof being referred to
herein as 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 Company, the Trustee and the
holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase
Manhattan Bank) has been appointed Exchange Rate Agent (the "Exchange Rate
Agent", which term includes any successor, Exchange Rate Agent) with respect to
the Notes, and JPMorgan Chase Bank at its corporate trust office in The City of
New York has been appointed the registrar and as a Paying Agent with respect to
the Notes. The Calculation Agent will be appointed pursuant to the applicable
pricing supplement. 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.

         This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and will not be
redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to
maturity, except as provided below.

         This Note may be redeemed at the option of the Company on any date on
and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified above (the "Redemption
Date". If no Initial Redemption Date is set forth above, this Note may not be
redeemed at the option of the Company prior to the Maturity Date. On and after
the Initial Redemption Date, if any, this Note may be redeemed at any time in
whole or from time to time in part in increments of $1,000 (provided that any
remaining principal hereof shall be at least $1,000) at the option of the
Company at the applicable Initial Redemption Percentage together with interest
thereon payable to the Redemption Date, on notice given to the holder of this
Note not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date. In the
event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note for the unredeemed
portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder of this Note upon the
surrender hereof. The Initial Redemption Percentage may be increased or
decreased, as the case may be, as indicated on the face hereof under
"Applicability of Annual Redemption Percentage Increase" or "Applicability of
Annual Redemption Reductions". [If this Note is subject to "Modified Payment
upon Acceleration or Redemption" the redemption price of this Note shall be
limited to the Amortized Amount.]

         Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this Note, this Note shall
not be subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to the Maturity
Date. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may 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 units of the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof (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
hereon payable to the date of repayment. For this Note to be repaid in whole or
in part at the option of the holder hereof, the Company must receive at the
corporate trust office of the Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the repayment,
(i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" on the reverse
hereof duly completed or (ii) a telegram, facsimile transmission or a letter
from a member of a national securities exchange or a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or a commercial bank or
trust company in the United States which must set forth the name of the holder
of the Note, the principal amount of this Note, the principal amount of this
Note to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and
terms of this Note, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being
exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note to be repaid, together with the
duly completed form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" on the reverse hereof,
will be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after
the date of such telegram, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, however,
that such telegram, facsimile transmission or letter from a member of a national
securities exchange or a member of the NASD or a commercial bank or trust
company in the United States shall only be effective if in such case, this Note
and

                                       7

form duly completed are received by the Company by such fifth Business Day.
Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In
the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the
amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder
hereof upon cancellation hereof, but only in an authorized denomination.

         This Note will bear interest at the rate determined as follows:

                1.   If this Note is designated as a Regular Floating Rate Note
         on the face hereof, then, except as described below, this Note shall
         bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable
         Interest Rate Basis shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the
         applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable
         Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner
         described on the face hereof. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset
         Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset
         as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof; provided,
         however, that (i) the interest rate in effect for the period from the
         Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the
         Initial Interest Rate, and (ii) unless otherwise specified on the face
         hereof, the interest rate in effect hereon for the ten calendar days
         immediately prior to a Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date
         shall be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such date.

                2.   If this Note is designated as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate
         Note on the face hereof, then, except as described below, this Note
         shall initially bear interest at the rate determined by reference to
         the applicable Interest Rate Basis shown on the face hereof (i) plus or
         minus the applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the
         applicable Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the
         manner described on the face hereof. Commencing on the Initial Interest
         Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be
         reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof;
         provided, however, that (i) the interest rate in effect for the period
         from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be
         the Initial Interest Rate; (ii) unless otherwise specified on the face
         hereof, the interest rate in effect hereon for the ten calendar days
         immediately prior to the Fixed Rate Commencement Date shall be that in
         effect on the tenth calendar day preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement
         Date; and (iii) the interest rate in effect commencing on, and
         including, the Fixed Rate Commencement Date to the Maturity Date shall
         be the Fixed Interest Rate, if such a rate is specified on the face
         hereof, or if no such Fixed Interest Rate is so specified, the interest
         rate in effect hereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate
         Commencement Date.

                3.   If this Note is designated as an Inverse Floating Rate Note
         on the face hereof, then, except as described below, this Note will
         bear interest equal to the Fixed Interest Rate indicated on the face
         hereof minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable
         Interest Rate Basis shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the
         applicable Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the applicable
         Spread Multiplier, if any, specified and applied in the manner
         described on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate
         hereon will not be less than zero. Commencing on the Initial Interest
         Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be
         reset as of each Interest Rate Reset Date specified on the face hereof;
         provided, however, that (i) the interest rate in effect for the period
         from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be
         the Initial Interest Rate, and (ii) unless otherwise specified on the
         face hereof, the interest rate in effect hereon for the ten calendar
         days immediately prior to a Maturity Date or redemption or repayment
         date shall be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such
         date.

                4.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is designated
         on the face hereof as having an Addendum attached, the Note shall bear
         interest in accordance with the terms described in such Addendum.

         Except as provided above, the interest rate in effect on each day shall
be (a) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined on
the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such
Interest Reset Date or (b) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the
interest rate determined on the Interest Determination Date immediately
preceding the next preceding Interest Reset Date. Each Interest Rate Basis shall
be the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provision below. If any
Interest Reset Date (which term includes the term Initial Interest Reset Date
unless the context otherwise requires) would otherwise be a day that is not a
Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding
day that is a Business Day, except that if an Interest Rate Basis specified

                                        8

<PAGE>

on the face hereof is LIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next 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 with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate will be the last
working day of the month immediately preceding each Interest Reset Date on which
the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of San Francisco")
publishes the Index (as defined below). The Interest Determination Date
pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by
reference to LIBOR shall be the second London Business Day preceding such
Interest Reset Date unless the Index Currency is (i) pounds sterling, in which
case the Interest Determination Date will be the applicable Interest Reset Date
or (ii) Euro, in which case the Interest Determination Date will be the second
Target Settlement Date (as defined below) preceding such Interest Reset Date.
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 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.

         The "Calculation Date" pertaining to any 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 redemption or repayment date, as the case may be.

         Determination of CD Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the
face hereof is the CD Rate, the CD Rate with respect to this Note shall be
determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such
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 ("H.15(519)"), under the heading "CDs (secondary market),"
or, if not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation
Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the
rate on such Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit
of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in the daily
update of H.15(519), available through the world-wide-web site of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve Systems at

publication ("H.15 Daily Update) or such other recognized electronic source used
for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the heading "CDs (secondary
market)." If such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519), H.15 Daily
Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time,
on such Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then
the CD Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent referred to on the face hereof and will be the average of the
secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such
Interest Determination Date, as quoted by three leading nonbank dealers in
negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected
by the Calculation Agent, for negotiable certificates of deposit of major United
States money market banks with a remaining maturity closest to the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof in a denomination of $5,000,000; provided,
however, that if fewer than three dealers are quoting rates, the rate of
interest on this Note with respect to the following Interest Reset period shall
be the rate of interest as in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

         Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis
specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper
Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest
Determination Date and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein) of
the rate on such date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified
on the face hereof, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the
heading "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial," or if not so published prior to 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest
Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of
the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such
other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate,
under the heading "Commercial Paper - Nonfinancial". If such rate is not yet
available in either H.15(519),

City time, on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on such
Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and
shall be the Money Market Yield of the average of the offered rates as of 11:00
a.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date as quoted by three
leading dealers in commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the
Calculation Agent 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 rating agency; provided, however, that
if fewer than three dealers are quoting rates, the rate of interest on this Note
with respect to the following Interest Reset Period shall be the rate of
interest in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

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

         Money Market Yield =  D x 360     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 period for which interest is being calculated.

         Determination of Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate. If an Interest
Rate Basis for this Note is the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, as
indicated above, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be determined on
each applicable Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate equal to the
monthly weighted average cost of funds for the calendar month preceding such
Interest Determination Date as set forth under the caption "11th District" on
Bridge Telerate, Inc., or any successor service ("Telerate") on Page 7058 as of
11:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on such Interest Determination Date. If such
rate does not appear on Telerate Page 7058 on any Interest Determination Date,
the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate for such Interest Determination Date
shall be the monthly weighted average cost of funds paid by member institutions
of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank District that was most recently announced
(the "Index") by the FHLB of San Francisco as such cost of funds for the
calendar month preceding the date of such announcement. If the FHLB of San
Francisco fails to announce such rate for the calendar month next preceding such
Interest Determination Date, then the rate of interest on this Note for the
following Interest Reset Period will be the rate of interest in effect on such
Interest Determination Date.

         Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis
specified on the face hereof is the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate
with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination
Date and shall be the rate on such date for Federal Funds as published in
H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds Effective", as such rate is displayed
on Telerate Page 120 or, if not so published by 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the
Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as
published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used
for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the heading "Federal Funds
(Effective)." If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not yet
published in either H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized
electronic source by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date,
the Federal Funds Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be calculated
by the Calculation Agent and will be the average of the rates for the last
transaction in overnight Federal funds as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on
such Interest Determination Date arranged by three leading brokers of Federal
funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent;
provided, however, that if fewer than three brokers are providing quotes, the
rate of interest on this Note with respect to the following Interest Reset
Period Date shall be the rate of interest in effect on such Interest
Determination Date.

         Determination of LIBOR. If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the
face hereof is LIBOR, LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be determined on
each Interest Determination Date as follows:

     (a)  With respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be
generally determined as either:

              (1)   If "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof, the
          average of the offered rates for deposits in the Designated LIBOR
          Currency having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof
          beginning on the second London Business Day immediately after the
          Interest Determination Date, that appear on the Designated

                                       10

<PAGE>

          LIBOR page 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; or

                (2)  If "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof, or if
          neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face
          hereof, the rate for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency having
          the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof beginning on the
          second London Business Day immediately after such date (or, if pounds
          sterling is the Designated LIBOR Currency, beginning on such date or,
          if Euro is the Designated LIBOR Currency, beginning on the second
          TARGET Settlement Date immediately after such date), that appears on
          the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that
          Interest Determination Date.

                     Where (1) above applies, if fewer than two offered rates
          appear on the Designated LIBOR Page, or, where (2) above applies, if
          no rate appears on the Designated LIBOR Page, LIBOR for that Interest
          Determination Date will be determined based on the rates on that
          Interest Determination Date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time,
          at which deposits on that date in the Designated LIBOR Currency for
          the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are
          offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major
          banks in that market selected by the Calculation Agent and in a
          principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or its foreign currency
          equivalent) that in the Calculation Agent's judgment is representative
          for a single transaction in the Designated LIBOR Currency in such
          market at such time (a "Representative Amount"). The offered rates
          must begin on the second London Business Day immediately after the
          Interest Determination Date (or if pounds sterling is the Designated
          LIBOR Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date or, if
          Euro is the Designated LIBOR Currency, beginning on the second TARGET
          Settlement Date immediately after such date).

                     The Calculation Agent will request the principal London
          office of each of these banks to quote its rate. If the Calculation
          Agent receives at least two quotations, LIBOR will be the average of
          those quotations.

      (b) If the Calculation Agent receives fewer than two quotations, LIBOR
will be the average of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in the
Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent. The rates will be
for loans in the Designated LIBOR Currency to leading European banks having the
specified Index Maturity beginning on the second London Business Day after that
date (or, if pounds sterling is the Designated LIBOR Currency, commencing on
such date or, if Euro is the Designated LIBOR Currency, beginning on the second
TARGET Settlement Date immediately after such date) and in a Representative
Amount.

      (c) If fewer than three banks provide quotes, the rate of interest on this
Note with respect to the following Interest Reset Period shall be the rate of
interest in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

         "Designated LIBOR Currency" means the currency (including composite
currencies) specified on the face hereof as the currency with respect to which
LIBOR shall be calculated. If no such currency is specified on the face hereof,
the Designated LIBOR Currency shall be U.S. dollars.

         "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is
specified 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 (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on
the face hereof or neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as
the method for calculating LIBOR, the display on Telerate (or any successor
service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks
for the applicable Index Currency.

         Unless provided otherwise on the face hereof, "Principal Financial
Center" will be (i) the capital city of the country issuing the currency in
which the Notes are denominated or (ii) the capital city of the country to which
the Designated LIBOR Currency relates, as applicable, except, in the case of (i)
or (ii) above, that with respect to the following currencies, the "Principal
Financial Center" will be as indicated below:

            Australian dollars            Sydney and, if Australian dollars is
                                          the currency in which the Notes
                                          are denominated, Melbourne

Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open.

         Determination of Prime Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis specified on
the face hereof is the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note
shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate
set forth on that Interest Determination Date in H.15(519) under the heading
"Bank Prime Loan". If the rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate will be the rate as
published on such Interest Determination Date in H.15 Daily Update, or such
other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate
under the caption "Bank Prime Loan". If the rate is not published in H.15(519),
H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate will be the average
(rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher one-hundred thousandth of a
percentage point) of the rates publicly announced by each bank on the Reuters
Screen USPRIME1 Page as its prime rate or base lending rate for that Interest
Determination Date. If fewer than four, but more than one, rates appear on the
Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page, the Prime Rate will be the average of the prime
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 Interest Determination Date by
four major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the
Calculation Agent. If fewer than two rates appear, the Prime Rate will be
determined based on the rates furnished in The City of New York by the
appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, having total
equity capital of at least $500 million and being subject to supervision or
examination by a Federal or State authority, as selected by the Calculation
Agent. If no banks are providing quotes, the rate of interest on this Note with
respect to the following Interest Reset Period shall be the rate of interest in
effect on such Interest Determination Date. "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  Interest Rate Basis specified
on the face hereof is "Treasury Rate," the Treasury Rate with respect to this
Note shall be

      (a) 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

      (b) 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

Bills/Auction High;" or

                                       12

<PAGE>

      (c) 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

      (d) 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

      (e) 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 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

      (f) 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

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

      (g) 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:

                          Bond Equivalent Yield =D x N
                                                 -----
                                              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.

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

      (1)  if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7051, the rate for the
Interest Determination Date; or

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

         If no page is specified, the Designated CMT Telerate Page will be 7052
for the most recent week. If that rate is no longer displayed on the relevant
page, or if it is not displayed by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate will be the Treasury constant maturity rate
for the specified Index Maturity as published in the relevant H.15(519). If the
rate is no longer published in H.15(519), or is not published by 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for that Interest
Determination Date will be the Treasury constant maturity rate for the specified
Index Maturity (or other U.S. Treasury rate for such Index Maturity for that
Interest Determination Date) as may then be published by either the Federal
Reserve Board or the U.S. Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent
determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT

                                       13

<PAGE>

Telerate Page and published in the relevant H.15(519). If that information is
not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, then the
CMT Rate will be calculated as a yield to maturity, based on the average of the
secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New
York City time, on that Interest Determination Date reported, according to their
written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers
(each, a "Reference Dealer") in The City of New York selected by the Calculation
Agent. These dealers will be selected from five Reference Dealers. The
Calculation Agent will 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 Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and a
remaining term to maturity of not less than the Index Maturity specified on the
face hereof minus one year. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as
described in the preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally
close to the specified Index Maturity, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the
shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. If the Calculation Agent cannot
obtain three Treasury Note quotations, the CMT Rate will be calculated as a
yield to maturity based on the average of the secondary market offer side prices
as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on that Interest
Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York selected
by the Calculation Agent using the same method described above, for Treasury
Notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest
to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof with a remaining term to
maturity closest to such Index Maturity and in an amount of at least
$100,000,000. If three or four (and not five) of the Reference Dealers are
providing quotes, then the CMT Rate will be based on the average of the offer
prices obtained, and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be
eliminated. If fewer than three Reference Dealers are providing quotes, the rate
of interest on this Note with respect to the following Interest Reset Period
shall be the rate of interest in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

         "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on Telerate (or any
successor service) on the page designated on the face hereof (or any other page
as may replace such page on such services). If no such page is specified on the
face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent
week.

         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 equal the amount of interest
accrued from and including the next preceding Interest Payment Date in respect
of which interest has been paid (or from and including the date of issue, if no
interest has been paid) to but excluding the related Interest Payment Date;
provided, however, that if the Interest Reset Period with respect to this Note
is daily or weekly, each interest payment will include interest accrued from and
including the date of issue or from but excluding the last Regular Record Date
to which interest has been paid, as the case may be, through and including the
Regular Record Date next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof; and provided, further, that the interest
payment with respect to this Note made on the Maturity Date will include
interest accrued to but excluding such Maturity Date.

         Accrued interest hereon shall be calculated by multiplying the face
amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor is
computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day from the date of
issue, or from the last day to which interest has been paid or duly provided
for, to the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such day
will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, if
the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is the CD Rate, the
Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the Federal
Funds Rate, LIBOR, the Prime Rate or the CMT Rate, or by the actual number of
days in the year if the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is the
Treasury Rate. If the Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof is LIBOR
and the currency specified on the face hereof is Euro, the face of this Note may
indicate that the interest factor for each such day will be computed by dividing
the rate applicable to such day by the actual number of days in the year.

         All percentages resulting from any calculation will be to the nearest
one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one millionths of a
percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.9876545% (or .09876545) would be
rounded to 9.87655% (or.0987655), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting
from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent
being rounded upward).

         In the case where the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment
date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of 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 Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after the Maturity Date (or any redemption or
repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day.

         This Note is unsecured and ranks pari passu with all other unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.

         This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange
hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of 100,000 units of the Specified Currency indicated on the face
hereof or any integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency in
excess thereof, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

         JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank) has
been appointed registrar for the Notes (the "Registrar", which term includes any
successor registrar appointed by the Company), and the Registrar will maintain
at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and
transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the
Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form approved by the Registrar and duly executed by
the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of
the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having
identical terms and provisions for an equal aggregate principal amount in
authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;
provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required to register the
transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or
in part, or as to which the holder thereof has elected to cause such Note to be
repaid in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpaid portion of Notes
being redeemed or repaid in part, or to register the transfer of or exchange
Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Indenture with
respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for
other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal
amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers
of Notes will be free of charge, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection
therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form approved by the Registrar and executed by the
registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or
transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from
such exchange or transfer.

         In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen, or is apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, and such 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 Registrar, a new Note of like tenor will be
issued by the Company in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in
lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any
destroyed or lost or stolen Note only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
the Registrar and the Company that such 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.

         The Indenture provides that if an Event of Default (as defined in the
Indenture) with respect to any series of debt securities issued under the
Indenture, including the series of Global Medium-Term Notes, Series A, of which
this Note forms a part, 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 such series then outstanding under the Indenture, by notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by securityholders of such
series), may declare the principal of all debt securities of such

                                       15

<PAGE>

series 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 such series then outstanding.

         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 sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof plus the Amortized
Amount, (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.

         The Indenture permits the Company, when authorized by resolution of the
Board of Directors, and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less
than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the notes of each series (each
series voting as a class) affected by such supplemental indenture at the time
outstanding, including the series of Global Medium-Term Series A, of which this
Note forms a part, to enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental
indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the notes
of each such series or the coupons appertaining to such notes; provided,
however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity
of any note, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, if
any, thereon, or reduce the principal amount or premium, if any, thereof, or
make the principal thereof or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon
payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in any note, or reduce
the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount note that would be due
and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof or adversely affect the
right of repayment, if any, at the option of the holder without the consent of
the holder of each note so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of
notes of any series, the holders of which are required to consent to any such
supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holder of each note so
affected. A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or
other provision of the Indenture which has expressly been included solely for
the benefit of one or more particular series of notes, or which modifies the
rights of the holders of notes of such series or of coupons appertaining to such
notes with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to
affect the rights under the Indenture of the holders of notes of any other
series or of coupons appertaining to such notes.

         Except as set forth below, if the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Company for
making payments thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the control of the Company or is no longer used by the
government of the country issuing, or authority sponsoring, such Specified
Currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the
international banking community, then the Company 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 most recently available market exchange rate for
such Specified Currency, as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the date of
such payment, or if such rate is not available on such date, as of the most
recent practicable date. If a Specified Currency is unavailable solely because
the country of issue has replaced its currency with Euro or other currency of
the European Union pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Communities,
the amounts payable will, beginning with the date the replacement becomes
effective, be made in Euro or such other currency. The amounts payable on any
date will be converted into Euro or such other currency on the basis of the most
recently available market exchange rate for such currency, as determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent on the date of such payment, or if such rate is not
available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date.

         If any payment is required to be made in Euro and Euro are unavailable
due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the
Company's control or are no longer used in the European Monetary System, then
all payments will be made in U.S. dollars until Euro are again available or so
used. The amount of each payment in U.S. dollars will be computed on the basis
of the equivalent of Euro in U.S. dollars, determined on the basis of the most
recently available market exchange rate for Euro as determined by the Exchange
Rate Agent on the date of such payment,

                                       16

<PAGE>

or if such rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable
date. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or Euro, as the
case may be, where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than
U.S. dollars or Euro, as the case may be, will not constitute an Event of
Default.

         All determinations referred to above made by the Company or its agent
shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes.

         So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Company 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 in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of
Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes.
The Company may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal,
premium, if any, and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable
laws and regulations) as the Company may decide. So long as there shall be any
such agency, the Company 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 Company and held by the Trustee or
any Paying Agent for the 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) such moneys shall be so
repaid to the Company. 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 Company 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 Company, 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 and in the Indenture prescribed unless
otherwise agreed between the Company and the registered holder of this Note.

         The Company or any agent of the Company, the Registrar or the Trustee
may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof
for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Registrar, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

         No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or
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 Company or of any
successor corporation, either directly or through the Company 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 issuer
hereof, expressly waived and released.

         This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

         As used herein:

         (a)  the term "Amortized Amount" is equal to the original issue

authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the
Principal Financial Center of the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, if
the Specified Currency is Euro, such

                                       17

         General Electric Capital Corporation (together with its successors and
assigns, the "Company"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to each of
Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear
Operator"), and Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme ("Clearstream,
Luxembourg"), or any other recognized or agreed clearing system, with respect to
that portion of this Note held for its account, the principal sum (or Face
Amount, if the Note has a dual-currency or index feature) specified in Schedule
A hereto, on the Maturity Date specified above (except to the extent redeemed or
repaid prior to the Maturity Date) and to pay interest thereon at the Interest
Rate per annum specified above from the Original Issue Date specified above
until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment (except as
provided below), in arrears monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as
specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as
specified above), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next
succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date (or
any redemption or repayment date).

         Interest on this Note will accrue from 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 the Original Issue Date, until the
principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment, in each case,
upon Certification. Upon the payment of interest on this Note, the Fiscal and
Paying Agent (as defined below) shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be
endorsed to reflect such payment of interest and the amount of interest so paid
shall be noted. No payments on this Note will be made at any office or agency

premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this Note, nor will any such payment
be made by mail to an address in the United States or by transfer to an account
maintained by the holder of this Note with a bank in the United States.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is payable in U.S. dollars and if
payment in U.S. dollars of the full amount payable on this Note at the offices
of all paying agencies outside the United States would be illegal or effectively
precluded as a result of exchange controls or similar restrictions, payment on
this Note will be

                                        2

made by a paying agency in the United States, if such paying agency, under
applicable law and regulations, would be able to make such payment.

         This Note is issued in bearer form and represents a portion of a duly
authorized issue of Euro Medium-Term Notes of the Series specified above, issued
under a third amended and restated fiscal and paying agency agreement, dated as
of May 23, 2002 among the Company, GE Capital Australia Funding Pty. Ltd.,

Services Canada Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as fiscal agent and as principal
paying agent (in such capacities, the "Fiscal and Paying Agent") (as amended and
supplemented from time to time, the "Fiscal Agency Agreement"). The Notes are
issuable in bearer form (the "Bearer Notes"), with interest coupons attached
(except in the case of Bearer Notes in global form), and (if so provided above)
are also issuable in fully registered form, without coupons (the "Registered
Notes" and, together with the Bearer Notes, the "Notes"). Unless otherwise
specified above, the definitive Bearer Notes, with interest coupons attached,
are issuable in the denominations of 1,000 units, 10,000 units or 100,000 units
of the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof and the definitive
Registered Notes are issuable in denominations of 100,000 units of the Specified
Currency indicated on the face hereof or any integral multiple of 1,000 units of
such Specified Currency in excess thereof.

         Except as otherwise provided herein, this Note is governed by the terms
and conditions of the Permanent Global Fixed Rate Bearer Note (the"Permanent
Global Fixed Rate Bearer Note") (or if so specified above, the definitive Fixed
Rate Bearer Notes or definitive Fixed Rate Registered Notes) to be issued in
exchange for this Note, which terms and conditions are hereby incorporated by
reference herein mutatis mutandis and shall be binding on the Company and the
holder hereof as if fully set forth herein.

         This Note is exchangeable in whole or from time to time in part for (i)
an interest (equal to the principal amount of the Bearer Notes being exchanged
theretofore represented by this Note) in a single Permanent Global Fixed Rate
Bearer Note or (ii) if so specified above, an equal principal amount of
definitive Fixed Rate Bearer Notes and/or definitive Fixed Rate Registered Notes
upon request of the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, Luxembourg, acting on
behalf of the owner of a beneficial interest in the Note, to the Fiscal and
Paying Agent only on or after the Exchange Date upon Certification to the effect
that the Notes to be issued upon such exchange are not being acquired by or on
behalf of a United States person or, if a United States person has a beneficial
interest in the Notes, that such person is (i) a Qualifying Foreign Branch
purchasing for its own account or for resale, (ii) a United States person who
acquires the Notes through a Qualifying Foreign Branch and who holds the
obligation through such financial institution on the date of Certification, or
(iii) a financial institution who acquires the Notes for purposes of resale
during the Restricted Period other than for purposes of resale directly or
indirectly to a United States person or to a person within the United States.
Upon exchange of any portion of this Note for a Permanent Global Fixed Rate
Bearer Note (or definitive Fixed Rate Bearer Notes and/or definitive Fixed Rate
Registered Notes), the Fiscal and 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 being so exchanged. Except as
otherwise provided herein, until exchanged for a Permanent Global Fixed Rate
Bearer Note (or definitive Fixed Rate Bearer Notes and/or definitive Fixed Rate
Registered Notes), this Note shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under the Fiscal Agency Agreement as a duly authenticated and delivered
definitive Note.

         If this Note is subject to a tax redemption or if all or any portion of
the principal hereof is accelerated, each as described in the Fiscal Agency
Agreement, payment of the amount due upon any such redemption or acceleration
shall be subject to receipt of Certification.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Fiscal and Paying Agent by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled
to any benefit under the Fiscal Agency Agreement or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose.
