Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to bearer, upon surrender hereof, the principal amount specified in [Schedule A hereto]7 [Schedule A-1 hereto]8, or, if the face of this Note indicates that it is intended to be an NGN, the aggregate principal amount from time to time entered in the records of both Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (together, the “Relevant Clearing Systems”), on the Maturity Date specified above (except to the extent previously redeemed or repaid) and to pay interest thereon, from and including the Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above or determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, and on and after at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until but excluding the date such principal amount is paid or duly made available for payment. Unless such rate is otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Initial Interest Rate for this Note in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof.  The Issuer 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 Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date specified above (or any redemption or repayment date); provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date occurs fifteen calendar days or less prior to the first Interest Payment Date occurring after the Interest Accrual Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date; and provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is LIBOR or EURIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day; and provided, further, that if the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date.  If this Note is intended to be an NGN, the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems (which, in this Note, means the records that each Relevant Clearing System holds for its customers to reflect the amount of such customers’ interests in this Note) shall be conclusive evidence of the aggregate principal amount of this Note and, for these purposes, a statement issued by a Relevant Clearing System (which statement shall be made to the Issuer, to the Trustee, to the Principal Paying Agent or to the bearer of this Note on request) stating the aggregate principal amount of this Note shall be conclusive of the records of such Relevant Clearing System at that time.

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch), as its principal paying agent for the Notes (the “Principal Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

 

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

 

If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as indicated below).  If this Note is subject to “Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction,” the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below).  Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders of the Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses with the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall (i) if this Note is not intended to be an NGN, cause Schedule [A] [A-1] of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note so redeemed, or (ii) if this Note is intended to be an NGN, cause the details of such redemption to be entered in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems, whereupon, in either case, the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so redeemed and noted or recorded, as applicable.

 

If this Note is redeemed in part but not in whole prior to maturity hereof, (i) if this Note is not intended to be an NGN, the Trustee shall select or cause to be selected, not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, the portions of this Note for redemption from the outstanding aggregate principal amount of this Note not previously called for redemption by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, or (ii) if this Note is intended to be an NGN, the portion of this Note to be redeemed will be selected in accordance with the rules and procedures of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. and/or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (to be reflected in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems as either a pool factor or a reduction in nominal amount, at their discretion).

 

If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein.

Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (as used herein, the term “Interest Reset Date” shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). For the purpose of determining the Initial Interest Rate, references in this paragraph, the next succeeding paragraph and, if applicable, clauses (i) and (ii) under “Determination of EURIBOR” below to Interest Reset Date shall be deemed to mean the Original Issue Date. The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate and unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect for the ten calendar days immediately prior to maturity, redemption or repayment will be that in effect on the tenth calendar day preceding such maturity, redemption or repayment date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR or EURIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

 

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate and Prime Rate shall be on the Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to EURIBOR (or to LIBOR when the Index Currency is euros) shall be the second TARGET Settlement Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR (other than for LIBOR Notes for which the Index Currency is euros) shall be the second London Banking Day prior to such Interest Reset Date, except that the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a LIBOR Note for which the Index Currency is pounds sterling will be such Interest Reset Date. As used herein, “London Banking Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in the Index Currency (as defined herein) are transacted in the London interbank market. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned.

that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the 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 Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to two or more base rates will be the latest Business Day that is at least two Business Days before the Interest Reset Date for the applicable Note on which each base rate is determinable.

 

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the “Calculation Date” pertaining to an Interest Determination Date, including the Interest Determination Date as of which the Initial Interest Rate is determined, 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 immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.

 

Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CD Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate with respect to this Note shall be the rate on that date for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in “Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates,” or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“H.15(519)”) under the heading “CDs (Secondary Market).”

 

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

 

(i)      If the above rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the CD Rate shall be the rate on that Interest Determination Date set forth in the daily update of H.15(519), available through the world wide website of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or publication (“H.15 Daily Update”) for the Interest Determination Date for certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, under the caption “CDs (Secondary Market).”

 

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

 

“Initial dealer” with respect to this Note means Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(i)      If the above rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the rate on that Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in the H.15 Daily Update, or other 

 

  

8

  

 

recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, under the heading “Commercial Paper - Nonfinancial.”

 

(ii)      If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on that Calculation Date the rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer and its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer), for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “Aa,” or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Determination of EURIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is “EURIBOR,” for any Interest Determination Date, EURIBOR with respect to this Note shall be the rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI — The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as that rate appears on the display on Reuters 3000 Xtra Service (“Reuters”), or any successor service, on page EURIBOR01 or any other page as may replace page EURIBOR01 on that service (“Reuters Page EURIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., Brussels time.

 

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

 

(i)      If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S.$1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of those quotations.

 

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

 

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

 

“Euro-zone” means the region comprised of Member States of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the relevant treaty of the European Union, as amended.

 

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

 

  

9

  

 

date for U.S. dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading “Federal Funds (Effective)” as displayed on Reuters, or any successor service, on page FEDFUNDS1 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1”).

(vi)    if the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as described in (v), 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	   x  100
	 360 - (D x M)

 

where “D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank discount basis, “N” refers to 365 or 366, as the case may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.

 

Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the “CMT Rate,” for any Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be any of the following rates displayed on the Designated CMT Reuters Page (as defined below) under the caption “. . .

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

 

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

 

(i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not displayed by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519).

 

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

 

(iii) If the rate described in (ii) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent as described in the following sentence. The Calculation Agent shall select five Reference Dealers (after consultation with the Issuer) and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

 

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

 

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

 

(vi) If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in (iv) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT 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.

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.  Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying (i) if this Note is not intended to be an NGN, the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule [A] [A-1] hereto, or (ii) if this Note is intended to be an NGN, the principal amount hereof as set forth in the records of the Relevant Clearing System, in either case by an accrued interest factor.  Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid.  Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR (except if the Index Currency is pounds sterling); (ii) by 365 if the Base Rate is LIBOR and the Index Currency is pounds sterling; or (iii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate.  All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point (with .000005% being rounded up to .00001%), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.  All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downwards to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount.  All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with .005 being rounded up to .01.  The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date.  The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

 

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

Upon exchange of this Note for a Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or for a Registered Note or Registered Notes, the Principal Paying Agent shall (i) if this Note is not intended to be an NGN, cause Schedule [A] [A-1] of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of the principal amount hereof by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or such Registered Note or Registered Notes, or (ii) if this Note is intended to be an NGN, cause the details of such exchange to be entered in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems, whereupon, in either case, the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and noted. or recorded, as applicable.  All such exchanges of Notes will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.  The date of any Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange.

 

All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged for Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the following two sentences as soon as practicable after (i) if this Note is not intended to be an NGN, the first beneficial owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive Bearer Note, (ii) the Issuer gives notice to the Principal Paying Agent of an acceleration of the Note or (iii) either Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or any other relevant clearing system is closed for business for a continuous period of fourteen days (other than by reason of public holidays) or announces an intention to cease business permanently or in fact does so. In the event of any exchange of interests in this Note for a Definitive Bearer Note, (i) if this Note is not intended to be an NGN, a common depositary located outside the United States (the “common depositary”) holding this Note for Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any other relevant clearing system, or (ii) if this Note is intended to be an NGN, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg shall instruct the Principal Paying Agent regarding the aggregate principal amount of Definitive Bearer Notes and the denominations of such Definitive Bearer Notes that must be authenticated and delivered to each relevant clearing system in exchange for this Note. Thereafter, the Principal Paying Agent, acting solely in reliance on such instructions, shall, upon surrender to it of this Note and subject to the conditions in the preceding paragraph, authenticate and deliver Definitive Bearer Notes in exchange for this Note in accordance with such instructions and shall, (i) if this Note is not intended to be an NGN, cause Schedule [A] [A-1]of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note., or (ii) if this Note is intended to be an NGN, cause the details of such exchange to be entered in the records of the Relevant Clearing Systems. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the further exchange of Definitive Bearer Notes into Registered Notes.

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

 

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a beneficial owner who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by any beneficial owner who is a U.S. Alien for or on account of:

 

	
  

	
·

	
any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

 

	
  

	
o

	
the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

 

	
  

	
o

	
the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

 

	
  

	
·

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

 

	
  

	
·

	
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

 

	
  

	
·

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

 

	
  

	
·

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

 

	
  

	
·

	
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is 

 

  

17

  

 

a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

 

	
  

	
·

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

 

	
  

	
·

	
any withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for the failure to satisfy the conditions for avoiding withholding tax under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such sections;

 

	
  

	
·

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

 

	
  

	
·

	
any combination of the items listed above.

 

In addition, the Issuer will not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts with respect to any interest in this Note presented for payment:

 

	
  

	
·

	
where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings; or

 

	
  

	
·

	
by or on behalf of a beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting this Note or the relevant coupon to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union (a “Member State”).

 

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

 

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

 

  

18

  

 

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

 

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

 

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

 

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

 

So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided. If this Note is listed on the London Stock Exchange plc and such exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated.

 

  

19

  

 

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer 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 Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the holder of this Note.

 

The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder of this Note as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or 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 interest on this Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

 

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

Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to bearer, upon surrender hereof, the principal sum of ____________________ on the Maturity Date specified above (except to the extent previously redeemed or repaid) and to pay interest thereon to the bearer of the coupons, if any, appertaining hereto, from and including the Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above or determined in accordance with the  provisions specified on the reverse hereof until but excluding the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, and on and after at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until but excluding the date such principal amount is paid or duly made available for payment. Unless such rate is otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Initial Interest Rate for this Note in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof. The Issuer 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 Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date specified above (or any redemption or repayment date); provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date occurs fifteen calendar days or less prior to the first Interest Payment Date occurring after the Interest Accrual Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date; and provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is LIBOR or EURIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day; and provided, further, that if the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date.

 

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

 

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

 

Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency indicated above, except as provided on the reverse hereof. If this Note is denominated in U.S. dollars, any payment of the principal of 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. Such payments on this Note 

 

  

3

The Issuer has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch (as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch), as its principal paying agent for the Notes and the coupons appertaining thereto (the “Principal Paying Agent,” which term includes any additional or successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

 

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

 

If so indicated on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as indicated below). If this Note is subject to “Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction,” the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption to holders of Notes shall be published in the manner set forth in “Notices” as defined below once in each of three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days prior to the date set for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued upon the cancellation hereof. If redeemed prior to maturity, this Note must be presented for payment together with all unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining hereto, failing which the amount of any missing unmatured coupon will be deducted from the sum due for payment; provided, however, that such deduction may be waived by the Issuer and the Principal Paying Agent if there is furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require.

 

The Issuer will not be required (i) to exchange any Bearer Note to be redeemed for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding the first publication of the relevant Notice of redemption or (ii) to exchange any Bearer Note selected for redemption or surrendered for optional repayment, except that such Bearer Note may be exchanged for a Registered Note of like tenor unless indicated otherwise on the face of this Note, provided that such Registered Note shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be.

 

If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein.

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.

Treasury Constant Maturities . . . Federal Reserve Board Release H.15. . . Mondays Approximately 3:45 p.m.,” under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index, as defined below, for:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(i) If the above rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not displayed by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate shall be the Treasury Constant Maturities rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519).

 

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

 

(iii) If the rate described in (ii) above is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the CMT Rate to be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date, reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary U.S. government securities dealers (“Reference Dealers”) in The City of New York, which may include the initial dealer or its affiliates, selected by the Calculation Agent as described in the following sentence. The Calculation Agent shall select five Reference Dealers (after consultation with the Issuer) and shall eliminate the highest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the highest, and the lowest quotation or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest, for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than that Designated CMT Maturity Index and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the securities in that market at that time. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described above have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity shall be used.

 

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

 

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

 

(vi) If fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in (iv) above, the CMT Rate for that Interest Determination Date shall remain the CMT 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.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule A hereto by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day (i) by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, EURIBOR, Federal Funds Rate, Federal Funds (Open) Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR (except if the Index Currency is pounds sterling); (ii) by 365 if the Base Rate is LIBOR and the Index Currency is pounds sterling; or (iii) by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with .000005% rounded up to .00001%), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward. All Japanese Yen amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded downward to the next lower whole Japanese Yen amount. All amounts denominated in any other currency used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places in such currency, with .005 being rounded up to .01. The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate).

 

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

 

This Note is issued in definitive bearer form with coupons attached (a “Definitive Bearer Note”) and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, is issuable only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof.

 

This Note and the coupons appertaining hereto may be transferred by delivery. At the option of the holder of this Note, and subject to the terms of the Senior Indenture, this Note (with all unmatured coupons, and all matured coupons, if any, in default appertaining hereto) will be exchanged for two or more Definitive Bearer Notes (if this Note is issuable in more than one authorized denomination) or for a Registered Note, in each case, of any authorized denomination of like tenor and in an equal aggregate principal amount, in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Indenture, at the office of the Trustee in The City of New York (which initially has been appointed registrar and transfer agent for the Notes) or at the office of the Principal Paying Agent in London (which initially has been 

 

  

14

  

 

appointed transfer agent for the Notes), or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Issuer for such purpose. If this Note is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Note after the close of business at any such office on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment of interest on such Registered Note and before the opening of business at such office on the relevant Interest Payment Date, this Note shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date. All such exchanges of Notes and coupons will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. None of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be required to exchange this Note for a Registered Note if such exchange would result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Issuer under then applicable U.S. federal income tax laws.

 

The date of any Registered Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange.

 

In case this Note or any coupon appertaining hereto shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and this Note or such coupon or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Issuer in its discretion may execute a new Note of like tenor in exchange for the Note, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, with coupons corresponding to the coupons appertaining to the Note so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, or in exchange for the Note to which such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertained, with coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the coupons so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, but, if this Note or coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that this Note or coupon 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 and coupons shall be borne by the owner of the Note or the coupons mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

 

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

 

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

 

If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto who is a U.S. Alien (as defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i) directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or 

 

  

15

  

 

other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a U.S. Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b) payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note, as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, or, at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon as practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish (or transmit, as applicable) prompt notice thereof (the “Determination Notice”) stating the effective date of such certification, identification or other information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Issuer redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall elect by notice to the Trustee at least 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or at least 30 calendar days prior to the last day of the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof. Notice of such redemption of this Note will be given to the holder of this Note not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or within the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof. Such redemption notice shall include a statement as to the last date by which this Note to be redeemed may be exchanged for Registered Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall subsequently determine, not less than 30 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption or prior to the last day of the Redemption Notice Period specified on the face hereof, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such certification, identification or other information reporting requirement, in which case the Issuer shall publish (or transmit, as applicable) prompt notice of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of no further effect. The right of the holder of this Note to exchange this Note for Registered Notes pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph will terminate at the close of business of the Principal Paying Agent on the fifteenth day prior to the date fixed for redemption, and no further exchanges of this Note for Registered Notes shall be permitted.

 

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

 

If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to “Tax Redemption and Payment of Additional Amounts,” the Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) to the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by a beneficial owner who is a U.S. Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, make any payment of Additional Amounts to 

 

  

16

  

 

the holder of this Note with respect to any interest in this Note held by any beneficial owner who is a U.S. Alien for or on account of:

 

	
  

	
·

	
any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for

 

	
  

	
o

	
the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the beneficial owner, if the beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the United States, including, without limitation, the beneficial owner, or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States or being or having been engaged in the conduct of a trade or business or present in the United States or having, or having had, a permanent establishment in the United States; or

 

	
  

	
o

	
the presentation by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment of this Note is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

 

	
  

	
·

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

 

	
  

	
·

	
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of the beneficial owner’s past or present status as a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization;

 

	
  

	
·

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

 

	
  

	
·

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

 

	
  

	
·

	
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the beneficial owner of an interest in this Note (1) is a bank purchasing this Note in the ordinary course of its lending business or (2) is a bank that is neither (A) buying this Note for investment purposes nor (B) buying this Note for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding this Note for investment purposes only;

 

	
  

	
·

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

 

	
  

	
·

	
any withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for the failure to satisfy the conditions for avoiding withholding tax under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such sections;

 

	
  

	
·

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

 

	
  

	
·

	
any combination of the items listed above.

 

In addition, the Issuer will not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts with respect to any interest in this Note presented for payment:

·

	
where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings; or

 

	
  

	
·

	
by or on behalf of a beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting this Note or the relevant coupon to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union (a “Member State”).

 

Nor will the Issuer pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment with respect to any interest in this Note to a U.S. Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the payment to the extent the payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision of the United States) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary or a member of the partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner held its interest in this Note directly.

 

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

 

The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (i) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or reduce the amount of any original issue discount security payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy or modify or amend the provisions for conversion of any currency into any other currency, or modify or amend the provisions for conversion or exchange of the debt security for securities of the Issuer or other entities or for other property or the cash value of the property (other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the debt securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof), or alter certain provisions of the Senior Indenture relating to debt securities not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities of any series the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

 

Except as set forth below, if the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its 

 

  

18

  

 

obligations to the holder of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if the euro has been substituted for such Specified Currency, the Issuer may at its option (or shall, if so required by applicable law) without the consent of the holder of this Note effect the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such Specified Currency in euro in lieu of such Specified Currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended. Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars or euro where the required payment is in an unavailable Specified Currency will not constitute an Event of Default. If such Market Exchange Rate is not then available to the Issuer or is not published for a particular Specified Currency, the Market Exchange Rate will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent (as defined below) at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the date of such payment from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (the “Exchange Dealers”) for the purchase by the quoting Exchange Dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on the payment date, in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to those holders or beneficial owners of Notes and at which the applicable Exchange Dealer commits to execute a contract. One of the Exchange Dealers providing quotations may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless the Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Issuer. If those bid quotations are not available, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the market exchange rate at its sole discretion.

 

The “Exchange Rate Agent” shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof.

 

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

 

So long as this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided. If this Note is listed on the London Stock Exchange plc and such exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. If any European Union Directive on the taxation of savings comes into force, the Issuer will, to the extent possible as a matter of law, maintain a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obligated to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated.

 

With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer 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 any coupons appertaining hereto or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the holder of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto.

 

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

 

  

19

  

 

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

 

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