               NATIONAL RURAL UTILITIES COOPERATIVE FINANCE CORPORATION, a District of Columbia cooperative
association (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the
Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value received, hereby promises to pay to

, or registered assigns, the principal sum of

U.S. DOLLARS,

on the Stated Maturity Date set forth above, and to pay interest thereon at the rate per annum
equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the first Interest Reset Date specified
above following the Original Issue Date specified above and thereafter at a rate determined in
accordance with the provisions on the reverse hereof under the heading “Determination of Commercial
Paper Rate,” “Determination of Prime Rate,” “determination of LIBOR,” “Determination of Treasury
Rate,” “Determination of Fed Funds Rate,” “Determination of CD Rate” or “Determination of Other
Interest Rate Basis,” depending upon whether the Interest Rate Basis specified above is Commercial
Paper Rate, Prime Rate, LIBOR, Treasury Rate, Fed Funds Rate, CD Rate or Other, which Rate may be
adjusted by adding or subtracting the Spread or by multiplying the Spread Multiplier (as such terms
are defined below) depending on whether a Spread or Spread Multiplier is designated above, until
the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. The “Spread,” if any, is the
number of basis points designated above, and the “Spread Multiplier,” if any, is the percentage
designated above. The Company will pay interest monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as
specified above under Interest Payment Period commencing with the First Interest Payment Date
specified above next succeeding the Original Issue Date, and thereafter on the Interest Payment
Dates as specified above, and on the Maturity Date or, if applicable, upon redemption or repayment
(such Stated Maturity Date, redemption date or repayment date, a “Maturity”). The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided
in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest set
forth above (whether or not a Business Day), next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided,
however, that if the Original Issue Date falls between a Regular Record Date and an Interest
Payment Date, the first payment of interest will be paid on the Interest Payment Date following the
next succeeding Regular Record Date to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such next succeeding Regular
Record Date; and provided further that interest payable at Maturity shall be payable to the Person
to whom principal shall be payable

2

 

 (whether or not such Maturity is an Interest Payment Date).
Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid or duly
provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice
whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such
Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made [at
the office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of
 New York in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at
the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by United States dollar check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of
Securities of like tenor and terms shall be entitled to receive such payment of interest by wire
transfer in immediately available funds, but only if appropriate instructions have been received in
writing by the Paying Agent on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date for such payment of
interest][by wire transfer to the account designated by the Depositary]. The Company has initially
designated U.S. Bank National Association as its Paying Agent for the Securities the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York.

               REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE
HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH IN
FULL AT THIS PLACE.

on the reverse hereof, directly or through an Authenticating Agent, by manual signature of an
authorized signatory, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose.

NATIONAL RURAL UTILITIES COOPERATIVE FINANCE CORPORATION

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES C

(FLOATING RATE)

               This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called
the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of
December 15, 1987, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 1, 1990
(the Indenture as so supplemented being herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and
U.S. Bank National Association, as successor trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term
includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations
of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, which series is
unlimited in aggregate principal amount.

               Each Security of this series shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee.
Each Security of this series shall also bear an Original Issue Date, as specified on the face
hereof, and such Original Issue Date shall remain the same for all Securities subsequently issued
upon transfer, exchange or substitution of such original Security (or such subsequently issued
Securities) regardless of their dates of authentication.

               Unless one or more Redemption Dates are specified on the face hereof, this Security shall not
be redeemable at the option of the Company before the Stated Maturity specified on the face hereof.
If one or more Redemption Dates (or ranges of Redemption Dates) are so specified, this Security is
subject to redemption on any such date (or during any such range) at the option of the Company,
upon notice by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days nor more than
60 days prior to the Redemption Date specified in such notice, at the applicable Redemption Price
specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of this Security),
together in the case of any such redemption with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but
interest installments whose Stated Maturity is prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the
Holder of this Security, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business
on the relevant Regular or Special Record Dates, all as provided in the Indenture. The Company may
elect to redeem less than the entire principal amount hereof, provided that the principal amount,
if any, of this Security that remains outstanding after such redemption is an Authorized
Denomination as defined herein. In the event of any redemption in part, the Company will not be
required to (i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Security during a period of 15
days next preceding the day of the first mailing of the notice of redemption of Securities selected
for redemption or (ii) register the transfer or exchange of any Security, or any portion thereof,
called for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

               Unless one or more Repayment Dates is specified above, this Security shall not be repayable at
the option of the Holder on any date prior to the Stated Maturity specified above. If one or more
Repayment Dates (or ranges of Repayment Dates) are so specified, this Security is subject to
repayment on any such date (or during any such range) at the option of the Holder at a price equal
to 100% of the principal amount hereof or, if this Security is a Discounted Security (as specified
on the face hereof), the applicable Repayment Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a
percentage of the principal amount of this Security), together in the case of any such repayment with accrued interest to the

 

 

Repayment Date, but interest
installments whose Stated Maturity is prior to the Repayment Date will be payable to the Holder of
this Security, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the
relevant Regular or Special Record Dates, all as provided in the Indenture. For this Security to
be repaid at the option of the Holder, the Paying Agent must receive at least 30 days but not more
than 60 days prior to the Repayment Date on which this Security is to be repaid, (a) appropriate
wire transfer instructions and (b) either (i) this Security with the form entitled “Option to Elect
Repayment” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from
a member of a national securities exchange, or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or
a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder of
this Security, the principal amount of this Security, the portion of principal amount of this
Security to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of this
Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee
that this Security, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on
this Security, will be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the
date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter, provided, however, that such
Security and form duly completed is received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day.
Exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable, except a Holder who has
tendered this Security for repayment pursuant to a Reset Notice or an Extension Notice (each as
defined in the Prospectus Supplement related hereto). The repayment option with respect to this
Security may be exercised by the Holder for less than the entire principal amount hereof, provided
that the principal amount, if any, of this Security that remains outstanding after such repayment
must be an authorized denomination as defined herein. The Company will not be required to register
the transfer or exchange of any Security following the receipt of a notice to repay a Security as
described above. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and
acceptance of any Security for repayment will be determined by the Trustee, whose determination
will be final, binding and non-appealable.

               In the event of redemption or repayment of this Security in part only, a new Security or
Securities of this series and of like tenor and for a principal amount equal to the unredeemed or
unrepaid portion will be delivered to the registered Holder upon the cancellation hereof.

               If so specified above, the Stated Maturity of this Security may be extended at the option of
the Company, in the manner set forth below (unless otherwise provided on the face hereof), for the
period or periods specified above (each an “Extension Period”) up to but not beyond the date (the
“Final Maturity Date”) set forth above:

          (a) The Company may exercise such option by notifying the Paying Agent of such
exercise at least 45 but no more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity in effect
prior to such exercise (the “Original Stated Maturity”). If the Company exercises such
option, the Paying Agent will mail by first-class mail, postage pre-paid, to the Holder
of this Security no later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity a notice
setting forth (i) the election of the Company to extend the Original Stated Maturity,
(ii) the new Stated Maturity (which shall then be considered the Stated Maturity for
all purposes of this Security), (iii) the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier applicable to
the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during such
Extension Period, including the date or dates on which or the period or periods during
which and the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during the Extension
Period. Upon the Paying Agent’s transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Original
Stated Maturity of this Security shall be extended automatically, and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as
described in the next paragraph, this Security will have the same terms as prior to the
transmittal of such Extension Notice.

2

 

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the Original
Stated Maturity of this Security the Company may, at its option, revoke the Spread
and/or Spread Multiplier provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a Spread
and/or Spread Multiplier that is higher than the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier
provided for in the Extension Notice for the Extension Period by mailing or causing the
Paying Agent to transmit notice, by first class mail, postage prepaid, of such higher
Spread and/or Spread Multiplier to the Holder of this Security. Such notice shall be
irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will
bear such higher Spread and/or Spread Multiplier for the Extension Period.

          (c) If the Company elects to extend the Stated Maturity of this Security, the
Holder hereof will have the option to elect repayment of this Security by the Company
on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount hereof plus
interest accrued to such date. In order for this Security to be so repaid on the
Original Stated Maturity, the Holder hereof must follow the procedures set forth above
for optional repayment, except that the period for delivery of this Security or
notification to the Paying Agent shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior
to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder hereof has tendered this
Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, such Holder may, by written
notice to the Paying Agent, revoke such tender for repayment until the close of
business on the tenth day prior to the Original Stated Maturity.

               If so specified above, this Security may be renewed by the Holder of the Security on an
Interest Payment Date (specified above) occurring in or prior to the twelfth month following the
Original Issue Date (the “Initial Maturity Date”) in accordance with the procedures described
below:

          (a) On the Interest Payment Date occurring in the sixth month (unless a different
interval (the “Special Election Interval”) is specified above) prior to the Initial
Maturity Date (as specified above) of a Renewable Note (the “Initial Renewal Date”) and
on the Interest Payment Date occurring in each sixth month (or in the last month of
each Special Election Interval) after such Initial Renewal Date (each, together with
the Initial Renewal Date, a “Renewal Date”), the term of this Security may be extended
to the Interest Payment Date occurring in the twelfth month (or, if a Special Election
Interval is specified the last month in a period equal to twice the Special Election
Interval) after such Renewal Date, if the Holder of this Security elects to extend the
term of this Security or any portion hereof as provided below. If the Holder of this
Security does not elect to extend the term of any portion of the principal amount of
this Security during the specified period prior to any Renewal Date, such portion will
become due and payable on the Interest Payment Date occurring in the sixth month (or
the last month in the Special Election Interval) after such Renewal Date (the “New
Maturity Date”).

          (b) A Holder of this Security may elect to renew the term of this Security, or if
specified above, any portion thereof, by delivering a notice to such effect to the
Trustee (or any duly appointed Paying Agent) at the Corporate Trust
Office not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to such Renewal Date (unless
another period is specified above as the “Special Election Period”). Such election
will be irrevocable and will be binding upon each subsequent Holder of this Security.
An election to renew the term of this Security may be exercised with respect to less
than the entire principal amount of this Security only if so specified above and only
in such principal amount, or any integral multiple in excess thereof, as specified
above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of this Security may not be extended
beyond the Stated Maturity specified above.

3

 

          (c) If the Holder of this Security does not elect to renew this Security, this
Security must be presented to the Trustee (or any duly appointed Paying Agent)
simultaneously with notice of such election (or, in the event notice of such election,
together with a guarantee of delivery within five Business Days, is transmitted on
behalf of the Holder hereof from a member of a national securities exchange, the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in
the United States, within five Business Days of the date of such notice). As soon as
practicable following receipt of this Security the Trustee (or any duly appointed
Paying Agent) will issue in exchange of this Security in the name of the Holder hereof
(i) a Security, in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Security
for which the election to renew the term hereof was exercised, with terms identical to
those specified on this Security (except for the Original Issue Date and the Initial
Interest Rate and except that such Security will have a fixed, nonrenewable Stated
Maturity on the New Maturity Date) and (ii) if such election is made with respect to
less than the full principal amount of this Security, a replacement Security in a
principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Security for which the election
was made, with terms identical to this Security.

               If so specified above, the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier of this Security may be reset at
the option of the Company on the date set forth on the face hereof (each an “Optional Reset Date”)
in accordance with the procedures described below):

          (a) The Company may exercise such option by notifying the Paying Agent of such
exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to an Optional Reset Date set
forth on the face hereof. If the Company exercises such option, the Paying Agent will
mail by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder of this Security not later
than 40 days prior to such Optional Reset Date a notice (the “Reset Notice”) setting
forth (i) the election of the Company to reset the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier of
this Security, (ii) such new Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, and (iii) the provisions,
if any, for redemption of this Security during the period from such Optional Reset Date
to the next Optional Reset Date or, if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to
the Stated Maturity of this Security (each such period a “Subsequent Period”),
including the date or dates on which or the period or periods during which and the
price or prices at which such redemption may occur during such Subsequent Interest
Period.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to an Optional
Reset Date of this Security, the Company may, at its option, revoke the Spread and/or
Spread Multiplier provided for in the Reset Notice and establish a Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier that is higher for the Subsequent Interest Period commencing on such
Optional Reset Date by mailing or causing the Paying Agent to mail notice of such
higher Spread and/or Spread Multiplier by first class mail,
postage prepaid, to the Holder of this Security. Such notice shall be
irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier
is reset on an Optional Reset Date will bear such higher Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier.

          (c) If the Company elects to reset the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier of this
Security, the Holder of this Security will have the option to elect repayment of this
Security by the Company on any Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal
amount hereof plus interest accrued to such Optional Reset Date. In order for this
Security to be so repaid on an Optional Reset Date, the Holder hereof must follow the
procedures set forth above for optional repayment, except that the period for delivery
of this Security or notification to the Paying Agent shall be a least 25 but not more
than 35 days prior to such Optional Reset Date and except that, if the Holder hereof
has tendered this Security for repayment pursuant to a

4

 

Reset Notice, such Holder may,
by written notice to the Paying Agent, revoke such tender for repayment until the close
of business on the tenth day prior to such Optional Reset Date.

               Commencing with the first interest payment date specified on the face hereof following the
Original Issue Date, the rate at which interest on this Security is payable shall be reset daily,
weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually (each an “Interest Reset Date”) as shown on
the face hereof under Interest Rate Reset Period; provided, however, that (i) the interest rate in
effect from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Payment Date will be the Initial Interest
Rate selected on the face hereof and (ii) unless otherwise specified above, the interest rate in
effect hereon for the ten days immediately prior to the Maturity hereof shall be that in effect on
the 10th day preceding such Maturity hereof. Each such adjusted rate shall be applicable on and
after the Interest Reset Date to which it relates to but not including the next succeeding Interest
Reset Date or until Maturity. If any Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof would
otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day (as defined below), such Interest Reset Day shall be
postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that if (i) the rate of interest on this
Security shall be determined in accordance with the provisions under the heading “Determination of
LIBOR” below, and (ii) such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month limit, such
Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. Subject to applicable
provisions of law and except as specified herein, on each Interest Reset Date, the sum of interest
on this Security shall be the sum determined in accordance with the provisions under the applicable
heading below.

               The interest rate on this Security will in no event be higher than the interest rate permitted
by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general applicability. Under
present New York law, subject to certain exceptions, the maximum rate of interest for any loan less
than $250,000 is 16% per annum and for any Loan in the amount of $250,000 or more but less than
$2,500,000 is 25% on a simple interest basis. This limit may not apply if $2,500,000 or more has
been invested in Securities.

               DETERMINATION OF COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE. Unless otherwise specified above, “Commercial Paper
Rate” means, with respect to each Interest Determination Date specified on the face hereof, the
Money Market Yield (calculated as described below) of the rate on such date for commercial paper
bearing 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 selected by the
Calculation Agent (“H.15(519)”) under the heading “Commercial Paper — Nonfinancial.” In the event
that such rate is not published by 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Interest Calculation Date pertaining
to such Interest Determination Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield
of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for Commercial Paper during the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in H.15 Daily
Update, or any successor publication selected by the Calculation Agent (“H.15 Daily Update”) under
the heading “Commercial Paper — Nonfinancial.” If by 3:00 p.m. New York City time on such Interest
Calculation Date such Rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or H. 15 Daily Update, the rate
for that Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the
Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates, as of 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on that Interest Determination Date, of three leading dealers of commercial paper in The City
of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for Commercial Paper for the Index Maturity specified
on the face hereof placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is “AA”, or the equivalent,
from a nationally recognized rating agency; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as
aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial
Paper Rate will be the Commercial Paper Rate then in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

5

 

               “MONEY MARKET YIELD” means a yield (expressed as a percentage rounded, if necessary, to the
next higher one hundred thousandth of a percentage point) calculated in accordance with the
following formula:

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

               DETERMINATION OF PRIME RATE. Unless otherwise specified above, if the Interest Rate Basis on
the Security is the Prime Rate, such rate with respect to any Interest Reset Date shall equal (i)
the rate set forth for the relevant Interest Determination Date in H.15(519) under the heading
“Bank Prime Loan”, or (ii) if such rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Calculation Date pertaining to such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate will be
the rate published in H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source used for the
purpose of displaying that rate under the caption “Bank Prime Loan”, or (iii) if such rate is not
published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date,
the Prime Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the
rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the display designated as
“Reuters Page US PRIME 1” on the Reuters 3000 Xtra Service (or such other page as may replace the
Reuters Page US PRIME 1 on that service for purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates
of major United States banks) (“Reuters Page US PRIME 1”), as such bank’s prime rate or base
lending rate as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Interest Determination Date or (iv) if
fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Page US Prime 1 on such Interest Determination
Date, the Prime Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of
the prime rates or base lending rates (quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year
divided by a 360-day year) as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest Determination
Date by three major money center banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent after
consultation with the Company for which quotations are requested, adjusted in each case by the
addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication
by the Spread
Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the Prime Rate is
not published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source and the banks
selected as aforesaid are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Prime Rate for such Prime
Interest Determination Date will be the interest rate otherwise in effect on such Prime Interest
Determination Date.

               DETERMINATION OF LIBOR. Unless otherwise specified above, if the Interest Rate Basis on this
Security is LIBOR, such rate with respect to any Interest Reset Date will be determined by the
Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

     (i) LIBOR will be, as specified on the face hereof, the rate for deposit in U.S. dollars
having the Index Maturity shown on the face hereof, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset
Date that appears on the display on the Reuters 3000 Xtra Service (or any successor service) on the
“LIBOR01” page (or such other page as may replace such page on that service or such other service
or services for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits)
(“LIBOR01”) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date.

     (ii) With respect to an LIBOR Interest Determination Date on no rate appears on the LIBOR01
page as specified in (i) above, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at which
deposits in

6

 

U.S. dollars having the Index Maturity shown on the face hereof are offered at
approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by four major
banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent (the “Reference Banks”)
after consultation with the Company to prime banks in the London interbank market, commencing on
the applicable Interest Reset Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single
transaction in such market at such time (a “Representative Amount”). The Calculation Agent will
request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If
at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to such LIBOR Interest Determination
Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations as determined by the Calculation Agent,
adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by
multiplication of the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. If fewer than two
quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the
arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such
Interest Determination Date by three major banks in New York City, selected by the Calculation
Agent after consultation with the Company, for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks,
having the Index Maturity shown on the face hereof commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date
and in a Representative Amount, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any,
specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on
the face hereof; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation
Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR with respect to such LIBOR Interest
Determination Date will be the interest rate otherwise in effect on such Interest Determination
Date.

               DETERMINATION OF TREASURY RATE. Unless otherwise specified above, “Treasury Rate” means with
respect to each Interest Determination Date specified on the face hereof the rate for the most
recent auction of direct obligations of the United States (“Treasury bills”) having the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof under the caption “INVESTMENT RATE” on the display designated
as “USAUCTION10” on the Reuters 3000 Xtra Service (or any other page as may replace such page on
such service) or, if not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Calculation
Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate (expressed as a bond
equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis)
as announced by the United States Department of Treasury by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Interest Calculation
Date. In the event that the results of the auction of Treasury bills bearing the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof are not published or announced as provided above by 3:00 p.m. New
York City time on such Interest Calculation Date or if no such auction is held in a particular week
then the Treasury Rate shall be the auction average rate (expressed as a bond equivalent on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the rate on
that Interest Determination Date of Treasury bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof as published in H.15(519) under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury
Bills/Secondary Market” or, if not yet published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related
Interest Calculation Date, the rate on that Interest Determination Date of those Treasury bills as
published in H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source used for the purpose of
displaying that rate, under the caption “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary
Market.” If the Treasury rate is not published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another
recognized source, then the Treasury rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be
a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
applicable, and applied on a daily basis), of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid
rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of
three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent
after consultation with the Company, for the issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity
closest to the specified index maturity; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as
aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate
will be the Treasury Rate then in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

7

 

               DETERMINATION OF FED FUNDS RATE. Unless otherwise specified above, “Fed Funds Rate” means
with respect to each Interest Determination Date specified on the face hereof the rate on such date
for U.S. dollar Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading “Federal Funds
(Effective)” as that rate is displayed on Reuters on page “FEDFUNDS1” (or any other page that may
replace such page on such service) under the heading “EFFECT”. If not so published by 3:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Fed
Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determinate Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or
another recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying that rate, under the
caption “Federal Funds (Effective)”. If such rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on such Calculation Date, then the Fed Funds Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be
calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates as of 9:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for the last transaction in overnight
Federal Funds arranged by three leading brokers of Federal Funds transactions in The City of New
York selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company; provided, however, that
if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this
sentence, the Fed Funds Rate will be the Fed Funds Rate in effect as at such Interest Determination
Date.

               DETERMINATION OF CD RATE. Unless otherwise specified above, “CD Rate” means, with respect to
each Interest Determination Date specified on the face hereof, the rate on such date for negotiable
U.S. dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as
published in H.15(519) under the heading “CDs (Secondary Market)” or, if not so published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date,
the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for U.S. dollar negotiable
certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in H.15
Daily Update, or other recognized electronic sources used for the purpose of displaying the
applicable rate, under the caption “CDs (Secondary Market)”. If such rate is not published by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation
Date, then the CD Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10
a.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading nonbank dealers in
negotiable U.S. Dollar certificates of deposit in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent
after consultation with the Company, for negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit of major
United States money market banks (in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit) with a
remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in an amount that
is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at the time; provided, however,
that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting, the CD Rate
will be the CD Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

               DETERMINATION OF OTHER INTEREST RATE BASES.

               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, shown on the face hereof.
The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate on this Security in accordance with the
foregoing on or before each Interest Calculation Date.

               The Interest Calculation Date, if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date,
shall be the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date, or if any such day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or if sooner the Business Day preceding the
applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be. All percentages resulting from
any calculation on this Security will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a
percentage point, with five one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards, and all dollar
amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Security will be rounded to the nearest
cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

8

 

               The Calculation Agent will upon the request of the Holder of this Security provide to such
Holder the interest rate hereon then in effect and if different the interest rate which will become
effective as a result of a determination made on the most recent Interest Determination Date
(outlined below) specified on the face hereof.

               If any Interest Payment Date specified hereof would otherwise be a day that is not a business
day, the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except
that if (i) the rate of interest on the Security shall be determined in accordance with the
provisions of the heading “Determination of LIBOR” above, and (ii) such Business Day is in the next
succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business
Day. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the
date such payment was due, and no interest on such payment will accrue.

               “Business Day” means (i) any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that in The City of New
York is not a day on which banking institutions generally are authorized or obligated by or
pursuant to law, regulation or executive order to close and (ii) only if the rate of interest on
the Security should be determined in accordance with the provisions of the heading “Determination
of LIBOR” above, any such day on which dealings on deposit in U.S. dollars are transacted on the
London interbank market (a “London Business Day”).

               The date as of which the Interest Rate will be determined (the “Interest Determination Date”)
for each Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest on this Security shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions under the heading “Determination of Commercial
Paper Rate”, “Determination of Prime Rate”, “Determination of Fed Funds Rate”, or
“Determination of CD Rate” above will be the second Business Day preceding such Interest Reset
Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest
on this Security shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the heading
“Determination of LIBOR” above will be the second London Business Day preceding such Interest Reset
Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date if the rate of interest
of the Security shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the heading “Determination
of Treasury Rate” above (the “Treasury Interest Determination Date”) will be the day of the week in
which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury Bills would normally be auctioned. Treasury
Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in
which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be
held on the preceding Friday. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the
preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Treasury Interest Determination Date pertaining to the
Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week. If an auction date for Treasury Bills
should fall on any Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first
Business Day immediately following such auction date.

               Interest payments for this Security will include interest accrued from and including the most
recent date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including
the Original Issue Date, if no interest has been paid with respect to this Security) to, but
excluding the Interest Payment Date (or Maturity Date); provided, however, that if the Interest
Reset Dates with respect to the Security are daily or weekly, interest payable on any Interest
Payment Date, other than interest payable on any date on which principal hereof is payable, will
include interest accrued from but excluding the most recent Regular Record Date in respect of which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, or from and including the date of issue, to and
including the next preceding Regular Record Date, provided however, that interest payments for this
Security at Maturity will include interest accrued to but excluding the Maturity Date. Accrued
interest hereon from the Original Issue Date or from the last date to which interest hereon has
been paid, as the case may be, shall be an amount calculated by

9

 

multiplying the face amount hereof
by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the
interest factors calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being
calculated. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate
applicable to such day by 360, in the case of the Commercial Paper Rate, Prime Rate, LIBOR, Fed
Funds Rate or CD Rate, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the case of the Treasury
Rate.

               The Company at its option, subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Indenture, (a)
will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Securities (except for certain
obligations including obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Securities, replace
stolen, lost or mutilated Securities, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in
trust) or (b) need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture after the Company
deposits with the Trustee (or, in certain circumstances, 91 days after the Company deposits with
the Trustee), pursuant to an escrow trust agreement, money or U.S. Government Obligations, or a
combination of money and U.S. Government Obligations, which through the payment of interest thereon
and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to
pay all the principal of, and interest on, the Securities on the dates such payments are due in the
currency, currencies or currency unit or units, in which such Securities are payable and in
accordance with the terms of the Securities.

               If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

               The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the
Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby (acting as one class). The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby (acting as one class), on behalf of the
Holders of all Securities of each such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain
provisions of the Indenture. The Indenture also provides that, regarding the Securities of any
series, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series may waive certain past defaults and their consequences on behalf of the Holders of
all Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

               As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Security of
this series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for
any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice
of a continuing Event of Default with respect to this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series shall have made written request, and
offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of this series a direction inconsistent with such request and the Trustee shall have
failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided, however, that such limitations do not
apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest on this Security on or after the respective due dates expressed
herein.

               No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay

10

 

the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, places and rate, and
in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

               As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency as may be designated by the Company in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed
by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities of this series and of the tenor and terms, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

               The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities
of this series and of like tenor and terms of a different authorized denomination, as requested by
the Holder surrendering the same.

               No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.

               Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security is
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

               The Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of New York.

               All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

NATIONAL RURAL UTILITIES COOPERATIVE FINANCE CORPORATION

CFC
INTERNOTES®

(FIXED RATE)

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the
“Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of December 15,
1987, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 1, 1990 (the Indenture
as so supplemented being herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank
National Association, as successor Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any
successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties
and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms
upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the
series designated on the face hereof, which series is unlimited in aggregate principal amount.

     Each Note of this series shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee. Each
Note of this series shall also bear an Original Issue Date, as specified on the face hereof, and
such Original Issue Date shall remain the same for all Securities subsequently issued upon
transfer, exchange or substitution of such original Note (or such subsequently issued Securities)
regardless of their dates of authentication.

Survivor’s Option

     If the Survivor’s Option is applicable to this Note, the Representative (defined below) of a
deceased beneficial owner of this Note shall be entitled to repayment of this Note following the
death of the beneficial owner (a “Survivor’s Option”). Unless specifically provided on the face of
this Note, the Survivor’s Option may not be exercised unless the Note was acquired by the
beneficial owner at least six months prior to such election.

     If the Survivor’s Option is applicable to this Note, upon the valid exercise of the Survivor’s
Option, the Company shall repay the Note (or portion thereof), properly tendered for repayment by
or on behalf of the person (the “Representative”) that has authority to act on behalf of the
deceased, beneficial owner of a Note under the laws of the appropriate jurisdiction (including,
without limitation, the personal representative or executor of the deceased beneficial owner or the
surviving joint owner with the deceased beneficial owner) at a price equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the deceased beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in such Note plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the date of such repayment, subject to the following limitations:

	 	(a)	 	The Company may, in its sole discretion, limit the aggregate
principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s

5

 

	 	 	 	Option shall be accepted by the Company from all Representatives of deceased beneficial
owners in any calendar year (the “Annual Put Limitation”) to an amount equal
to the greater of $2,000,000 or 2% of the Outstanding principal amount of all
Notes issued under the Indenture as of the end of the most recent calendar
year, or such greater amount as the Company in its sole discretion may
determine for any calendar year, and may limit the aggregate principal
amount of Notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be
accepted by the Company from the Representative of any individual deceased
beneficial owner of Notes in any calendar year to $250,000, or such
greater amount as the Company in its sole discretion may determine for any
calendar year (the “Individual Put Limitation”).
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Company shall not make principal repayments pursuant to
exercises of the Survivor’s Option in amounts that are less than $1,000, and
the principal amount of this Note Outstanding after repayment pursuant to
exercise of the Survivor’s Option must be at least $1,000. If, however, the
original principal amount of this Note was less than $1,000, the
representative deceased beneficial owner of this Note may exercise the
Survivor’s Option, but only for the full principal amount of this Note.
	 
	 	(c)	 	This Note (or portion thereof) tendered pursuant to a valid
exercise of the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn.

     This Note (or portion hereof) that is tendered pursuant to valid exercise of the Survivor’s
Option shall be accepted in the order that it was received by the Trustee, unless acceptance would
contravene (i) the Annual Put Limitation, if applied, or (ii) the Individual Put Limitation, if
applied, with respect to the relevant individual deceased beneficial owner. If, as of the end of
any calendar year, the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions hereof) that have been
tendered pursuant to the valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option during such year has exceeded
either the Annual Put Limitation, if applied, or the Individual Put Limitation, if applied, for
such year, any exercise(s) of the Survivor’s Option with respect to Notes (or portions thereof) not
accepted during such calendar year because such acceptance would have contravened either such
limitation, if applied, shall be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order
all such Notes (or portions hereof) were originally tendered. If this Note (or portion thereof) is
accepted for repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option, it shall be repaid on the
first interest payment date that occurs 20 or more calendar days after the date of such acceptance.
In the event that this Note (or any portion hereof) tendered for repayment or repurchase pursuant
to valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is not accepted, the Trustee shall deliver a notice by
first-class mail to the registered holder hereof, at its last known address as indicated in the
Note Register, that states the reason this Note (or portion hereof) has not been accepted for
payment.

6

 

     In order for a Survivor’s Option to be validly exercised with respect to this Note (or portion
thereof), the Trustee must receive from the Representative (i) a written request for repayment
signed by the Representative, and such signature must be guaranteed by a member firm of a
registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or
a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States,
(ii) tender of this Note (or portion thereof) to be repaid, (iii) appropriate evidence satisfactory
to the Trustee that (A) the deceased was the beneficial owner of this Note at the time of death and
the interest in this Note was acquired by the deceased beneficial owner or his or her estate at
least six months prior to the request for repayment, (B) the death of such beneficial owner has
occurred, and the date of such death, and (C) the Representative has authority to act on behalf of
the deceased beneficial owner, (iv) if applicable, a properly executed assignment or
endorsement, (v) if the beneficial ownership interest in this Note is held by a nominee of the
deceased beneficial owner, a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee from such nominee attesting to
the deceased’s beneficial ownership of this Note, (vi) tax waivers and such other instruments or
documents that the Trustee reasonably requires in order to establish the validity of the beneficial
ownership of this Note and the claimant’s entitlement to payment and (vii) any additional
information the Trustee requires to evidence satisfaction of any conditions to the exercise of such
Survivor’s Option or to document beneficial ownership or authority to make the election and to
cause the repayment of this Note. Subject to the Corporation’s right hereunder to limit the
aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be
accepted in any one calendar year, all questions as to the eligibility or validity of any exercise
of the Survivor’s Option shall be determined by the Trustee, in its sole discretion, which
determination shall be final and binding on all parties.

     The death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in this Note as a joint tenant
or tenant by the entirety with another person, or as a tenant in common with the deceased holder’s
spouse, shall be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of this Note, and the entire principal
amount of this Note so held shall be subject to repayment. However, the death of a person holding
a beneficial ownership interest in this Note as tenant in common with a person other than such
deceased holder’s spouse shall be deemed the death of a beneficial owner only with respect to the
deceased person’s interest in this Note and only the deceased beneficial owner’s percentage
interest in the principal amount of this Note shall be subject to repayment. The death of a person
who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial ownership
interests in this Note shall be deemed the death of the beneficial owner of this Note for purposes
of this provision, regardless of whether such beneficial owner was the registered holder of this
Note, if such beneficial ownership interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee.
Such beneficial ownership interest shall be deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership,
ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, community
property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife. In addition, the
beneficial ownership interest shall be deemed to exist in custodial and trust arrangements where
one person has all of the beneficial ownership interest in this Note during his or her lifetime.

7

 

     For purposes of the Survivor’s Option, a person shall be deemed to have had a “beneficial
ownership interest” in this Note if such person or such person’s estate had the right, immediately
prior to such person’s death, to receive the proceeds from the disposition of this Note, as well as
the right to receive payment of the principal of this Note.

     If this is a Global Note, the Depositary or its nominee shall be the only entity that can
exercise the Survivor’s Option for such Note. To obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the
Survivor’s Option with respect to this Note, the Representative must provide to the broker or other
entity through which the beneficial interest in this Note is held by the deceased beneficial owner
(i) the documents described in the second preceding paragraph and (ii) instructions to such broker
or other entity to notify the Depositary of such Representative’s desire to obtain repayment
pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option. Such broker or other entity must provide to the
Trustee (i) the documents received from the Representative referred to in clause (i) of the
preceding sentence and (ii) a certificate satisfactory to the Trustee from such broker or other
entity stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner. Such broker or other entity shall
be responsible for disbursing any payments it receives pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s
Option to the appropriate Representative.

Redemption

     This Note will not be convertible or subject to any sinking fund and, except as set forth in
the following paragraph, will not be subject to redemption at the option of the Company or subject
to repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the Stated Maturity Date.

     Unless one or more Redemption Dates are specified on the face hereof, this Note shall not be
redeemable at the option of the Company before the Stated Maturity Date specified on the face
hereof. If one or more Redemption Dates (or ranges of Redemption Dates) are so specified, this
Note is subject to redemption on any such date (or during any such range) at the option of the
Company, upon notice by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 days nor more
than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date specified in such notice, at the applicable Redemption
Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of this
Note), together in the case of any such redemption with accrued interest to the Redemption Date,
but interest installments whose Stated Maturity Date is prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable to the Holder of this Note, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close
of business on the relevant Regular or Special Record Dates, all as provided in the Indenture. The
Company may elect to redeem less than the entire principal amount hereof, provided that the
principal amount, if any, of this Note that remains outstanding after such redemption is an
Authorized Denomination as defined herein. In the event of any redemption in part, the Company
shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Note during a period
of 15 days next preceding the day of the first mailing of the notice of redemption of Securities
selected for redemption or (ii) register the transfer or exchange of any Note, or any portion
thereof, called for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

8

 

Repayment

     Unless one or more Repayment Dates is specified above, this Note shall not be repayable at the
option of the Holder on any date prior to the Stated Maturity specified above. If one or more
Repayment Dates (or ranges of Repayment Dates) are so specified, this Note is subject to repayment
on any such date (or during any such range) at the option of the Holder at a price equal to 100% of
the principal amount hereof or, if this Note is a Discounted Note (as specified on the face
hereof), the applicable Repayment Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of
the principal amount of this Note), together in the case of any such repayment with accrued
interest to the Repayment Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is prior to the
Repayment Date shall be payable to the Holder of this Note, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
of record at the close of business on the relevant Regular or Special Record Dates, all as provided
in the Indenture. For this Note to be repaid at the option of the Holder, the Paying Agent must
receive at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Repayment Date on which this Note
is to be repaid, (a) appropriate wire transfer instructions and (b) either (i) this Note with the
form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth
the name of the Holder of this Note, the principal amount of this Note, the portion of principal
amount of this Note to be repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of
this Note, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a
guarantee that this Note, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect
Repayment” on this Note, shall be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business
Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter, provided, however,
that such Note and form duly completed is received by
the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of the repayment option by the Holder
shall be irrevocable. The repayment option with respect to this Note may be exercised by the
Holder for less than the entire principal amount hereof, provided that the principal amount, if
any, of this Note that remains outstanding after such repayment must be an authorized denomination
as defined herein. The Company shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any
Note following the receipt of a notice to repay a Note as described above. All questions as to the
validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Note for repayment shall be
determined by the Trustee, whose determination shall be final, binding and non-appealable.

     In the event of redemption or repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Securities of
this series and of like tenor and for a principal amount equal to the unredeemed or unrepaid
portion shall be delivered to the registered Holder upon the cancellation hereof.

     If this Note is an Amortizing Note as shown on the face hereof or in the pricing supplement
attached hereto or delivered herewith, a portion or all of the principal amount of this Note is
payable prior to the Stated Maturity Date in accordance with a schedule or by application of a
formula.

Interest

     This Note shall accrue interest from its date of original issuance until its stated maturity
or earlier redemption or repayment at the rate specified above. Unless the applicable pricing
supplement specifies otherwise, interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. The interest rate on the Note shall in no event be higher than the
maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States Law of general
application. Interest payments on this Note shall include the amount of interest accrued from and
including the last interest payment date to which interest has been paid, or from and including the
date of original issuance if no interest has been paid with respect to this Note, to, but
excluding, the applicable interest payment date, stated maturity date or date of earlier redemption
or repayment, as the case may be. If the stated maturity date, date of earlier redemption or
repayment or interest payment date for any fixed rate note is not a Business Day, principal and
interest for the note shall be paid on the next Business Day, and no interest shall accrue on the
amount payable from, and after, the stated maturity date, date of earlier redemption or repayment
or interest payment date.

     Interest on this Note shall be payable beginning on the first interest payment date after its
date of original issuance to holders of record on the corresponding Regular Record Date.

Payment of Interest

     Unless otherwise specified above, interest on this Note shall be paid as follows:

	 	 	 
	Interest Payment Frequency	 	Interest Payment Dates
	Monthly
	 	Fifteenth day of each calendar month, beginning
in the first calendar month following the month this Note was issued.
	 
	 	 
	Quarterly
	 	Fifteenth day of every third month, beginning
in the third calendar month following the month
this Note was issued.
	 
	 	 
	Semi-annually
	 	Fifteenth day of every sixth month, beginning
in the sixth calendar month following the month
this Note was issued.
	 
	 	 
	Annually
	 	Fifteenth day of every twelfth month, beginning
in the twelfth calendar month following the
month this Note was issued.

     Unless otherwise specified above, the Regular Record Date for any interest payment date shall
be the first day of the calendar month in which the interest payment date occurs, except that the
Regular Record Date for interest due on this Note’s stated maturity date or date of earlier
redemption or repayment shall be that particular date. If

10

 

any interest payment date other than the
maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such interest payment date shall be
postponed to the following Business Day. If the maturity date falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the related payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be made on the
next Business Day as if it were made on the date that payment was due, and no interest shall accrue
for the period from that maturity date to the date of payment.

     Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest not so punctually paid or
duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and
may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes of this
series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes
of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more
fully provided in the Indenture.

     As used herein, “Business Day” means any day that is neither a Saturday or Sunday, nor a legal
holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or obligated
by law, regulation or executive order to close.

Other Matters

     The Company at its option, subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Indenture,
(a) shall be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Notes (except for certain
obligations including obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Notes, replace stolen,
lost or mutilated Notes, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust) or (b) need
not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture after the Company deposits with the
Trustee (or, in certain circumstances, 91 days after the Company deposits with the Trustee),
pursuant to an escrow trust agreement, money or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of
money and U.S. Government Obligations, which through the payment of interest thereon and principal
thereof in accordance with their terms shall provide money in an amount sufficient to pay all the
principal of, and interest on, the Notes on the dates such payments are due in the currency,
currencies or currency unit or units, in which such Notes are payable and in accordance with the
terms of the Securities.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the
Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all series

11

 

affected thereby (acting as one class). The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby (acting as one class), on behalf of the
Holders of all Securities of each such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain
provisions of the Indenture. The Indenture also provides that, regarding the Securities of any
series, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series may waive certain past defaults and their consequences on behalf of the Holders of
all Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether
or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

     As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Note of
this series shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for
any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice
of a continuing Event of Default with respect to this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series shall have made written request, and
offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee, the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of this series a direction inconsistent with such request and the Trustee shall have
failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided, however, that such limitations do not
apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest on this Note on or after the respective due dates expressed
herein.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or the Indenture shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in
the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Note is registrable in the Note Register, upon surrender of this Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency as may be designated by the Company in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder
hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this
series and of like tenor and terms, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, shall be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes of this
series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series

12

 

and of like
tenor and terms of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.

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

     The Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of the State of New York.

     All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.
