EXHIBIT 10.1

 

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

 

This
Memorandum of Understanding, effective as of January 22, 2008, is entered
into among the Special Litigation Committee of the Board of Directors of
Monster Worldwide, Inc. (the “Monster SLC”), Monster Worldwide, Inc.
(“Monster” or the “Company”), and Andrew J. McKelvey (“McKelvey”; each a “Party”
and collectively the “Parties”), by and through their respective undersigned
attorneys.

 

WHEREAS,
the Monster SLC has conducted an extensive investigation regarding the claims
and potential claims arising from or relating to the allegations contained in
two consolidated shareholder derivative actions, In re
Monster Worldwide, Inc. Derivative Litigation, 06-108700,
pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in New York County (the “State
Action”), and In re Monster Worldwide, Inc. Stock
Option Derivative Litigation, 06-cv-04622, pending in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal Action”;
collectively the “Derivative Actions”);

 

WHEREAS,
the Derivative Actions allege, inter alia,
that certain actions taken or not taken by current and former officers and
directors with respect to Monster’s historical stock option practices
constituted breaches of fiduciary duties and related state law causes of
action, violations of Sections 10(b) and 14(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, and unjust enrichment;

 

WHEREAS,
Company has investigated claims other than those asserted in the Derivative
Actions that the Company may have against McKelvey arising out or

 

 

relating to the litigations captioned In re Monster Worldwide, Inc. Securities Litigation, 07
CV 2237 (S.D.N.Y.) (JSR), and Taylor v. Monster Worldwide, Inc. et al., 06 CV 8322
(S.D.N.Y.)(AKH);

 

WHEREAS,
the Parties wish to resolve fully and finally, without further burden and
expense, all disputes and controversies between them relating to or arising
from the conduct alleged in the Derivative Actions, and wish to do so without
admitting the merits of any claim or allegation by any Party;

 

NOW
THEREFORE, the Parties have agreed in principle, as follows:

 

1.        The
Parties have reached an agreement providing for the settlement of the Company’s
claims and potential claims arising from or relating to the allegations
contained in the Derivative Actions and all other potential claims or causes of
action set forth in paragraph 11 herein on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth below in this Memorandum of Understanding (“Memorandum of
Understanding”).

 

2.        The
Parties will act in good faith and use reasonable efforts to agree upon and
execute (a) a settlement agreement in accordance with the terms set forth
in this Memorandum of Understanding (the “Settlement Agreement”) and (b) such
other documentation as may be required to obtain Final Court Approval of the
Settlement Agreement, including any papers necessary to obtain dismissal of any
claims alleged against McKelvey in the Derivative Actions with prejudice on the
merits.  As used herein, “Final Court
Approval” means that the Court before which the State Action is pending has
entered any necessary approval order and that such order is finally affirmed on
appeal in all material respects or is no longer subject to appeal and the time
for any petition for reargument, appeal or review, by certiorari or otherwise,
has expired.

 

 

2

 

3.        Subject
to any limitations imposed by agents of the United States Government, McKelvey
shall, to the extent of his knowledge and recollection and to the best of his
belief, provide the Monster SLC and Monster with full, complete, and truthful
cooperation, as reasonably required by the Monster SLC and the Company.  Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to limit any party from complying with legal obligations,
asserting any legal rights or privileges, or responding to any request for
information or inquiry as part of a legal proceeding or regulatory process in a
truthful manner.  The Monster SLC and Monster will adjourn
any request for cooperation if McKelvey provides a reasonable basis to believe
that the requested cooperation would interfere with his ability to defend
against any regulatory, civil, criminal, or any other proceeding, related to
the subject matter of the Derivative Actions.

 

4.        Within
ten (10) days of the execution of the Settlement Agreement, McKelvey will
transfer to the Company’s counsel, Dechert LLP (“Dechert”), by certified check
or wire transfer the sum of $8 million (Eight Million Dollars) (the “Settlement
Amount”) to be deposited into a Dechert attorney escrow account.  Within three (3) business days of Final
Court Approval, Dechert will transfer the $8 million (Eight Million Dollars),
plus all interest accrued thereon, to the Company by certified check or wire
transfer.  If Final Court Approval is denied,
the Company will return the $8 million and all accrued interest thereon to
McKelvey.

 

5.        Within
five (5) days of the execution of the Settlement Agreement, McKelvey will
execute a  conversion notice, in the form
of Exhibit A, to convert (the “Conversion”) all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Class B Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Class B
Stock”) of the Company held by McKelvey into shares 

 

 

3

 

of  Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Common
Stock”), of the Company and will deliver such executed document (the “Executed
Conversion Document”) to Dechert as escrow agent.  The effect of the Conversion shall be the
extinguishment of any supervoting rights presently held by McKelvey pursuant to
his ownership of shares of Class B Stock. 
The Conversion shall be effective on the date on which the last of the
following has occurred (the “Effective Conversion Date”): (a) Final Court
Approval has been issued or granted; (b) the Executed Conversion Document
has been delivered to the Company; and (c) all of the certificates
representing the shares of Class B Stock have been delivered to the
Company.  Within three (3) business
days of Final Court Approval, Dechert shall release the Executed Conversion
Document from escrow and deliver it by hand to the Company.

 

6.        If, at
any time after the Settlement Agreement is executed, McKelvey is in possession
of the certificate(s) representing all of the shares of Class B Stock, he
shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) business days) surrender
and deliver such certificates to the Company in exchange for the simultaneous
delivery by the Company to him of certificates representing an equal number of
shares of Common Stock.  If, however, at
the time of Final Court Approval, the certificate(s) representing all of
the shares of Class B stock are in the possession of Morgan Stanley,
McKelvey will take all reasonable steps, including providing written
instruction to Morgan Stanley, to facilitate the immediate delivery by Morgan
Stanley of the Class B certificates to the Company in exchange for the
simultaneous delivery by the Company to Morgan Stanley of certificates
representing an equal number of shares of Common Stock.  To facilitate the exchange with Morgan
Stanley, McKelvey agrees that he shall, within five (5) days of 

 

 

4

 

executing
the Settlement Agreement, execute written instruction to Morgan Stanley
authorizing the foregoing exchange in the form appearing as Exhibit B to
this Memorandum of Understanding. 
McKelvey will use good faith efforts and take all actions reasonably
necessary to obtain Morgan Stanley’s Acknowledgement and Agreement to the
written instruction and thereafter agrees that the written instruction shall be
held in escrow by Dechert pending Final Court Approval.  Upon Final Court Approval, Dechert shall
release the written instruction from escrow in order to fulfill the
requirements of this paragraph.

 

7.        From the date
hereof through the Effective Conversion Date, McKelvey hereby agrees that (a) he
shall be entitled to vote one-tenth of the shares of all of the Class B
Stock beneficially owned by him in any manner he desires and (b) the
remaining nine-tenths of the shares of Class B Stock  beneficially owned by him (the “Relinquished
Voting Shares”) shall be voted in the same percentage(s) as the aggregate
votes cast by the holders of shares of Common Stock  (other than McKelvey).  McKelvey’s entitlement to vote only one-tenth
of the shares of all of the Class B Stock beneficially owned by him shall
not be affected by McKelvey’s failure to surrender to the Company after Final
Court Approval the certificates representing each of the shares of Class B
Stock.  McKelvey’s entitlement to cast
only one-tenth of the shares of all of the Class B Stock beneficially
owned by him shall remain in effect until the Effective Conversion Date.  If the Company fails to act in good faith and use
reasonable efforts to agree upon and execute a Settlement Agreement in
accordance with the terms set forth in this Memorandum of Understanding or if
Final Court Approval is denied, and McKelvey has complied in good faith with
his obligations under this agreement, McKelvey’s 

 

 

5

 

entitlement to cast only one-tenth of the shares of
all of the Class B Stock beneficially owned by him and the corresponding
proxy granted herein shall terminate.

 

8.        To effectuate
Paragraph 7, McKelvey hereby grants to the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company a proxy to vote the Relinquished Voting Shares on any matter presented
to the holders of Common Stock for their vote, approval, waiver or consent
(other than matters to which the holders of Class B Stock are not entitled
to vote) in the same percentage(s) as the aggregate votes cast by the
holders of shares of Common Stock (other than McKelvey) on such matter.  Such proxy is coupled with an interest, is
perpetual and is irrevocable (unless terminated as set forth in paragraph 7
above), and bestows on the Chief Executive Officer of the Company full power to
vote and act for McKelvey with respect to the aforementioned matters.

 

9.        McKelvey
hereby revokes any and all previous proxies granted with respect to the
Relinquished Voting Shares.  McKelvey represents and
warrants that he has not entered into any voting agreement or voting trust, or
made any other agreement, or issued, granted or given a proxy with respect to
the Relinquished Voting Shares that is currently in effect (or upon the
happening of an event or the passage of time or both will be in effect).  McKelvey agrees, unless and until this
Memorandum of Understanding is terminated, not to: (a) grant any other
proxy or power of attorney, enter into or make any voting arrangements with
respect to the Relinquished Voting Shares, other than as provided for in this
Memorandum of Understanding; or (b) pledge, enter into any other forward
contract (including any amendment, restatement or modification of the existing
prepaid forward contract with Morgan Stanley) or otherwise convey any interest
in the Class B shares to any person, unless and until McKelvey
has provided the

 

6

 

Company with a letter signed by the proposed
counterparty in a form substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto, in which
the proposed counterparty agrees, upon receipt of a written request from the
Company in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, to deliver
immediately the Class B certificates to the Company in exchange for the
simultaneous delivery by the Company to it of certificates representing an
equal number of shares of Common Stock.  McKelvey
represents and warrants that he has all necessary power, authority and capacity
to grant the proxy and undertake the other obligations set forth in this
Memorandum of Understanding.

 

10.      The
Monster SLC will use best efforts to seek prompt dismissal of the Federal
Action as against McKelvey consistent with the terms of this Memorandum of
Understanding (“Federal Dismissal”).  If
the Federal Action nonetheless proceeds, Monster will advance legal fees and
expenses in connection with McKelvey defending that Action to the extent
permissible by law, based on his undertaking to repay such amounts if it is
later determined that he is not legally entitled to be indemnified by the
Company.  Nothing herein alters any
rights that McKelvey may have for advancement of legal fees or indemnification
under Delaware law or other agreement, including but not limited to
any indemnity agreement with the Company, except that McKelvey hereby agrees to waive any
indemnification rights he may have with respect to fees and expenses incurred
in connection with his retention of any entity retained to provide him with
advice with respect to communications strategy or public relations.  In addition, McKelvey hereby acknowledges
that hereinafter he is not entitled to indemnification from the Company with
respect to legal and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with his September 2007
prepaid forward contracts relating to his shares of 

 

 

7

 

Class B
Stock.  McKelvey further agrees to reduce
his indemnification demands by $10,000, which represents previously incurred
fees and expenses related to his prepaid forward contracts.

 

11.      The
Settlement Agreement shall include language as negotiated by the Parties
providing mutual releases of the claims and causes of action, or potential
claims or causes of action, arising from or relating to the allegations in the Derivative Actions,
whether such claims are known or unknown. 
In addition, the Company shall release any claims whatsoever that the
Company may have against McKelvey arising out of the grant, or the proposed
grant, by the Company of any stock options, including, but not limited to, the
following individuals: Ted Button, Gerard Roeting, Steve Szalczinger, and Jim
Wolfe.  The Company shall also covenant
not to seek from McKelvey any contribution or damages that the Company might
otherwise claim against McKelvey in connection with the litigations captioned In re Monster Worldwide, Inc. Securities Litigation, 07
CV 2237 (S.D.N.Y.) (JSR), and Taylor v. Monster Worldwide, Inc. et al., 06 CV 8322 (S.D.N.Y.)
(AKH), or any other action arising out of or relating to the allegations in
the Derivative Actions.  The Company shall release McKelvey from all
other potential claims or causes of action relating to any subject matter
whatsoever except for potential claims or causes of action currently unknown to
the Company’s Board of Directors that involve intentional, fraudulent, or
criminal conduct.

 

12.      The
Settlement Agreement contemplated by this Memorandum of Understanding will
become effective upon : (a) a final settlement between McKelvey and the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that resolves all SEC
claims against McKelvey arising out of the allegations made in the Derivative
Actions

 

 

8

 

has
been approved by the Court or tribunal in which the proceeding has been filed;
and (b) Final Court Approval is obtained in the State Action, including
approval of the mutual releases described in Paragraph 11 above.

 

13.      The
Parties agree to act in good faith and use reasonable efforts to achieve Final
Court Approval, Federal Dismissal, and to cause the timely occurrence of all
events, transactions, or other circumstances described herein.  In addition, the Parties agree to make
good faith efforts to coordinate the public announcement or disclosure of this
Memorandum of Understanding and/or the Settlement Agreement contemplated by the
Memorandum of Understanding at a mutually agreeable date and time, except that
nothing herein shall preclude the Company from making whatever announcements it
concludes in good faith it is required to make by law.

 

14.      The
Parties represent and warrant that they, with the benefit of professional
advice from their attorneys, have fully informed themselves of the contents,
terms and conditions of this Memorandum of Understanding, and that each of the
attorneys executing this Memorandum of Understanding has been duly empowered
and authorized to do so.

 

15.      This
Memorandum of Understanding shall be governed by, construed, and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict
of laws principles.

 

16.      Neither
the existence of this Memorandum of Understanding, nor the
Settlement Agreement contemplated herein, nor the provisions contained in either shall be
deemed a presumption, concession or admission by any Party, and shall not be

 

 

9

 

interpreted,
construed, deemed, invoked, offered or received in evidence or otherwise used
by any person in any action or proceeding.

 

17.      This
Memorandum of Understanding constitutes the entire agreement between the
Parties as to the subject matter hereof, and may not be amended nor any of its
provisions waived except by a writing signed by all of the signatories hereto.

 

18.      This
Memorandum of Understanding shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Parties and their respective agents, executors, heirs, successors, and
assigns, subject to the conditions set forth herein.

 

19.      This
Memorandum of Understanding may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of
which taken together shall constitute one agreement.

 

IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Memorandum of Understanding
effective as of the date set forth below.

LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC.,
a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Delaware (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor
corporation under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns,
on the Maturity Date the Principal Amount hereof (as defined below) and, if so
specified above, to pay interest thereon from the Issue Date specified above or
from the most recent Interest Payment Date specified above to which interest
has been paid or duly provided for at the Interest Rate specified above until
the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment and (to the extent
that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at such rate
per annum on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue installment
of interest.  Unless otherwise specified
above, and except as provided in Section 8 on the reverse hereof if this
Note is a Dual Currency Note (as hereinafter defined), payments of principal,
premium, if any, and interest hereon will be made in U.S. dollars; if the
Specified Currency set forth above is a currency other than U.S. dollars (a “Foreign
Currency”), such payments will be made in U.S. dollars based on the equivalent
of that Foreign Currency converted into U.S. dollars in the manner set forth in
Section 2 on the reverse hereof.  If
the Specified Currency is a Foreign Currency and it is so provided above, the
Holder may elect to receive such payments in that Foreign Currency by delivery
of a written request to the Trustee (or to any duly appointed Paying Agent) at
the Corporate Trust Office (as defined below) not later than 10 calendar days
prior to the applicable payment date, and such election will remain in effect
for the Holder until revoked by written notice to the Trustee (or to any such
Paying Agent) at the Corporate Trust Office received not later than 10 calendar
days prior to the applicable payment date; provided,
however, no such election or
revocation may be made if, with respect to this Note, (i) an Event of Default
has occurred, (ii) the Company has exercised any discharge or defeasance
options or (iii) the Company has given a notice of redemption.  In the event the Holder makes any such
election pursuant to the preceding sentence, such election will not be effective
on any transferee of such Holder and such transferee shall be paid in U.S.
dollars unless such transferee makes an election pursuant to the preceding
sentence; provided, however, that such election, if in effect
while funds are on deposit with the Trustee to satisfy and discharge this Note,
will be effective on any such transferee unless otherwise specified above.  The “Principal Amount” of this Note at any
time means (i) if this Note is an OID Note, the Amortized Face Amount at
such time as described in Section 7 on the reverse hereof, (ii) if
this Note is an Amortizing Note, the Outstanding Face Amount at such time as
described in Section 4 on the reverse hereof, (iii) in all other
cases, the Face Amount hereof.

 

2

 

If this Note is subject to an
Annual Percentage Reduction as specified above, the Redemption Price shall
initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage of the Principal Amount of this
Note on the Initial Redemption Date and shall decline at each anniversary of
the Initial Redemption Date (each such date, a “Redemption Date”) by the Annual
Percentage Reduction of such Principal Amount until the Redemption Price is
100% of such Principal Amount.

 

In the event of any optional
redemption by the Company, any repayment at the option of the Holder,
acceleration of the maturity of this Note or other prepayment of this Note
prior to the Maturity Date specified, the term “Maturity” when used herein
shall refer, where applicable, to the date of redemption, repayment,
acceleration or other prepayment of this Note.

 

Except as provided in the
following paragraph, the Company will pay interest semiannually on January 24
and July 24 of each year (unless other Interest Payment Dates are
specified above) (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing with the first
Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Issue Date, and at Maturity; provided that any payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest to be made on any Interest Payment Date or on a
date of Maturity that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such
Interest Payment Date or such date of Maturity, as the case may be, and no
additional interest shall accrue as a result of such delayed payment.  The term “Business Day” means any day, that
is not a Saturday or Sunday, and that is not a day on which banking
institutions in New York City are generally authorized obligated or by law or
executive order to be closed; for notes denominated in pounds sterling
only, is also a London Business Day; for notes having a specified currency
other than U.S. dollars only, other than notes denominated in Euros, is also
not a day on which banking institutions in the principal financial center (as
defined below) of the country of the specified currency generally are
authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close; and for  notes denominated in Euros, is also a Euro
business day. A principal financial center means the capital city of the
country issuing the specified currency. However, for U.S. dollars, Australian
dollars, Canadian dollars and Swiss francs, the principal financial center will
be New York City, Sydney, Toronto and Zurich, respectively. A ‘‘London Business
Day’’ means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and on which dealings in
deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted, or with respect to any future date are
expected to be transacted, in the London interbank market and a ‘‘Euro Business
Day’’ means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday on which the
Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System is
open.  Each payment of interest
hereon shall include interest accrued through the day before the Interest
Payment Date or date of Maturity, as the case may be.  Unless otherwise specified above, interest on
this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.  In no event shall the interest rate
of this Note be higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, as
the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

 

Unless otherwise specified
above, the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in
the Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor
Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
indicated above (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding such Interest
Payment Date; provided that,
notwithstanding any provision of the Indenture to the contrary, interest
payable on any date of Maturity shall be payable to the Person to whom
principal shall be payable; and provided,
further, that, unless otherwise
specified above, in the case of a Note initially issued between a Regular
Record Date and the Interest Payment Date relating to such Regular Record Date,
interest for the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on such Interest
Payment Date shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date following the next
succeeding Regular Record Date to the registered Holder on such next succeeding
Regular Record Date.

 

Unless otherwise indicated
above, and except as provided below, if this Note is a Global Security, all
payments of interest on this Note and all principal payments hereon if this
Note is an Amortizing Note (other than interest and, in the case of Amortizing
Notes, principal payable at Maturity) will be made by check (unless otherwise
provided above, from an account at a bank located outside the United States if
such amount is payable in a Foreign Currency); provided
that, if the Holder hereof is the Holder of U.S.$10,000,000 or more in
aggregate Principal Amount of Notes of this series of like tenor and term (or a
Holder of the equivalent thereof in a Foreign Currency determined as provided
in Section 2 on the reverse hereof), such Holder shall be entitled to
receive interest payments (and principal payments, if this Note is an
Amortizing Note) in immediately available funds, but only if complete and
appropriate instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee (or any
such Paying Agent) on or prior to the applicable Regular Record Date.  Simultaneously with any election by the
Holder hereof to receive payments in respect hereof in a Foreign Currency, such
Holder may, if so entitled (as provided above), elect to 

 

3

 

receive such payments in
immediately available funds by providing complete and appropriate instructions
to the Trustee (or any such Paying Agent), and all such payments will be made
in immediately available funds to an account maintained by the payee with a
bank located outside the United States or as otherwise provided above.

 

Unless otherwise indicated
above, and except as provided below if this Note is a Global Security, payments
of principal, premium, if any, and interest payable at Maturity will be made in
immediately available funds (unless otherwise indicated above, payable to an
account at a bank located outside the United States if payable in a Foreign
Currency) upon surrender of this Note at the corporate trust office or agency
of the Trustee (or any duly appointed Paying Agent) maintained for that purpose
in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City (the “Corporate Trust Office”), provided that this Note is presented to
the Trustee (or any such Paying Agent) in time for the Trustee (or any such
Paying Agent) to make such payments in such funds in accordance with its normal
procedures.

 

Unless otherwise specified
above, if this Note is a Global Security, payments of interest hereon and principal
hereon if this Note is an Amortizing Note (in each case, other than at
Maturity), will be made in same-day funds in accordance with existing
arrangements between the Trustee (or any duly appointed Paying Agent) and the
Depository.  Unless otherwise specified
above, if this Note is a Global Security, any principal, premium and/or
interest payable hereon at Maturity will be paid by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to an account specified by the Depository (which
account, unless otherwise provided above, will be at a bank located outside the
United States if payable in a Foreign Currency).

 

The Company will pay any
administrative costs imposed by banks in making payments in immediately
available funds, but any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon
payments hereunder, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, will be
borne by the Holder hereof.

 

References herein to “U.S.
dollars” or “U.S.$” or “$” are to the coin or currency of the United States as
at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private
debts.

 

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

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

 

LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTES, SERIES I

(Fixed Rate)

 

Section 1.  General.  This Note is one of a duly authorized series
of Notes of the Company designated as the Medium-Term Notes, Series I
(Fixed Rate) of the Company (herein called the “Notes”).  The Notes are one of an indefinite number of
series of debt securities of the Company (collectively, the “Securities”)
issued or issuable under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of September 1,
1987, as amended and supplemented (the “Indenture”), duly executed and
delivered by the Company and Citibank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”),
to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of
the Securities.  The separate series of
Securities may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at
different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject
to different redemption provisions or repayment or repurchase rights (if any),
may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any), may
be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary
as in the Indenture provided.

 

Section 2.  Currency
Exchanges and Payments.  If the
Holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Foreign Currency, in
U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent specified on the face hereof or a
successor thereto (the “Exchange Rate Agent”) will convert such payments into
U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment to the Holder will be
based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on
the highest bid quotation in New York City received by such Exchange Rate Agent
at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business
Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign
exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such
Exchange Rate Agent is an affiliate of the Company) for the purchase by the
quoting dealer of the Foreign Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on such
payment date in the amount of the Foreign Currency payable in the absence of
such an election to such Holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to
execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will
be made in the Foreign Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by
the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments.

 

Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof, if payment hereon is required to be
made in a Foreign Currency and such currency is unavailable to the Company for
making payments thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other
circumstances beyond the Company’s control, or is no longer used by the
government of the country which issued such currency or for the settlement of transactions
by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then
the Company will be entitled to make payments with respect hereto in U.S.
dollars until such Foreign Currency is again available or so used.  The amount so payable on any date in such
Foreign Currency shall be converted into U.S. dollars at a rate determined by
the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the noon buying rate in New York City
for cable transfers in the Foreign Currency as certified for customs purposes
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Market Exchange Rate”) for such
Foreign Currency on the second Business Day prior to such payment date, or on
such other basis as may be specified on the face hereof.  In the event such Market Exchange Rate is not
then available, the Company will be entitled to make payments in U.S. dollars (i) if
such Foreign Currency is not a composite currency, on the basis of the most
recently available Market Exchange Rate for such Foreign Currency or (ii) if
such Foreign Currency is a composite currency in an amount determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent to be the sum of the results obtained by multiplying the
number of units of each component currency of such composite currency, as of
the most recent date on which such composite currency was used, by the Market
Exchange Rate for such component currency on the second Business Day prior to
such payment date (or if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, by
the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for such component currency,
or as otherwise specified on the face hereof). 
Any payment in respect hereof made under such circumstances in U.S.
dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.

 

If the official unit of any
component currency of a composite currency is altered by way of combination or
subdivision, the number of units of that currency as a component shall be
divided or multiplied in the same proportion. 
If two or more component currencies are consolidated into a single
currency, the amounts of those currencies as components shall be replaced by an
amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of 

 

6

 

the consolidated component
currencies expressed in such single currency.  If any component currency is divided into two
or more currencies, the amount of that original component currency as a
component shall be replaced by amounts of such two or more currencies having an
aggregate value on the date of division equal to the amount of the former
component currency immediately before such division.

 

In the event of an official
redenomination of the Specified Currency or the Optional Payment Currency
(including, without limitation, an official redenomination of any such currency
that is a composite currency), the obligations of the Company to make payments
in or with reference to such currency shall, in all cases, be deemed
immediately following such redenomination to be obligations to make payments in
or with reference to that amount of redenominated currency representing the
amount of such currency immediately before such redenomination.  In no event shall any adjustment be made to
any amount payable hereunder as a result of any redenomination of any component
currency of any composite currency (unless such composite currency is itself
officially redenominated).

 

All determinations referred to
above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion (except
to the extent expressly provided herein that any determination is subject to
approval by the Company) and, in the absence of manifest error, shall be
conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder hereof, and the Exchange
Rate Agent shall have no liability therefor.

 

All currency exchange costs
will be borne by the Holder hereof by deduction from the payments made hereon.

 

Section 3.  Redemption.  If so specified on the face hereof, the
Company may at its option redeem this Note in whole or from time to time in
part on or after the date designated as the Initial Redemption Date on the face
hereof at either a price based on a constant percentage of the Principal Amount
of this Note as specified on the face hereof or at prices declining from the
premium specified on the face hereof, if any, to 100% of the Principal Amount
hereof, together, in each case, with accrued interest to the Redemption Date.
The Company may exercise such option by causing the Trustee to mail by
first-class mail to the Holder hereof a notice of such redemption at least 30
but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.  In the event of redemption of this Note in
part only, a new Note or Notes of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof
shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof
in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Unless otherwise specified on
the face hereof, if less than all of the Notes with like tenor and terms to
this Note are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the
Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

 

Section 4.  Sinking
Funds and Amortizing Notes.  Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof or unless this Note is an Amortizing
Note, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund.  If it is specified on the face hereof that
this Note is an Amortizing Note, the Company will make payments combining
principal and interest on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the table
appearing in Schedule I, attached to this Note. 
If this Note is an Amortizing Note, payments made hereon will be applied
first to interest due and payable on each such payment date and then to the
reduction of the Outstanding Face Amount. 
The term “Outstanding Face Amount” means, at any time, the amount of
unpaid principal hereof at such time.

 

Section 5.  Optional
Repayment.  If so specified on the
face hereof, this Note will be repayable prior to the Maturity Date at the
option of the Holder on the Optional Repayment Dates specified on the face
hereof at the Optional Repayment Prices specified on the face hereof, together
with accrued interest to the applicable Optional Repayment Date.  Unless otherwise specified on the face
hereof, in order for this Note to be so repaid, the Company must receive, at
least 30 but not more than 45 days prior to an Optional Repayment Date, either (i) this
Note with the form below entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed or
(ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter from a member of
a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States
setting forth the name of the Holder hereof, the Face Amount hereof, the Face
Amount to be repaid, the certificate number hereof 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 with the form below
entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed will be received by the
Paying Agent not later than five Business Days after the date of such telegram,
telex, facsimile transmission or letter and this Note and form duly completed
are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day.  Exercise of this repayment option shall be
irrevocable, except as otherwise provided under Section 6 or Section 9.  The repayment option may be exercised by the
Holder of this Note with respect to less than the Face Amount then outstanding 

 

7

 

provided that the Face Amount
of the Note remaining outstanding after repayment is an authorized
denomination.  Upon such partial
repayment this Note shall be cancelled and a new Note or Notes for the
remaining Face Amount hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this
Note.

 

Section 6.  Optional
Interest Reset.  If so specified on
the face hereof, the Interest Rate on this Note may be reset at the option of
the Company, in the manner set forth below (unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof), on the Optional Reset Date or Optional Reset Dates specified on
the face hereof.  The Company may
exercise such option by notifying the Trustee in writing of such exercise at
least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to an Optional Reset Date.  Not later than five Business Days after
receipt thereof, the Trustee will mail by first-class mail to the Holder of
this Note a notice (the “Reset Notice”) setting forth (i) the election of
the Company to reset the interest rate, (ii) such new interest rate and (iii) the
provisions, if any, for redemption 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 Maturity Date of this Note (each such period a “Subsequent
Interest 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. 
The Reset Notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A to
this Note.  Upon the transmittal by the
Trustee of a Reset Notice to the Holder of this Note, such new interest rate
shall take effect automatically, and, except as modified by the Reset Notice
and as described in the next paragraph, this Note will have the same terms as
prior to the transmittal of such Reset Notice.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
not later than 20 days prior to an Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its
option, revoke the interest rate provided for in the Reset Notice and establish
an interest rate that is higher than the interest rate provided for in the
Reset Notice for the Subsequent Interest Period commencing on such Optional
Reset Date by causing the Trustee to mail by first-class mail notice of such
higher interest rate to the Holder of this Note.  Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be
mailed by the Trustee within five Business Days after receipt thereof.  All Notes with respect to which the interest
rate is reset on an Optional Reset Date will bear such higher interest rate for
the Subsequent Interest Period.

 

If the Company elects to reset
the interest rate of this Note, the Holder of this Note will have the option to
elect repayment by the Company of this Note, or any portion hereof, on any
Optional Reset Date at a price calculated with reference to the Face Amount
hereof to be repaid, plus any interest accrued to, such Optional Reset
Date.  In order to obtain repayment on an
Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth above in Section 5
for optional repayment except that the period for delivery or notification to
the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to such
Optional Reset Date and except that, if the Holder has tendered this Note for
repayment pursuant to the Reset Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to
the Trustee, revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on
the tenth day prior to such Optional Reset Date; provided, however,
that if such day is not a Business Day, then such notice may be given on the
next succeeding Business Day.

 

Section 7.  OID
Notes.  If this Note is an OID Note,
the amount payable in the event of redemption by the Company, repayment at the
option of the Holder or acceleration of Maturity shall be the Amortized Face
Amount of this Note as of the date of such redemption, repayment or declaration
of acceleration rather than the Face Amount hereof.  The “Amortized Face Amount” of this Note
shall be the amount equal to (a) the Issue Price (as set forth on the face
hereof) plus (b) the original issue discount amortized from the Issue Date
to the date as of which the Amortized Face Amount is calculated, which
amortization shall be calculated using the “interest method” (computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on such
date) but in no event shall the Amortized Face Amount of this Note exceed the
Face Amount.

 

Section 8.  Dual
Currency Notes.  If it is specified
on the face hereof that this Note is a Dual Currency Note, the Company has a
one time option, exercisable on any one of the Option Election Dates specified
on the face hereof in whole, but not in part, with respect to all Dual Currency
Notes issued on the same day and having the same terms as this Note (this “Tranche”),
of thereafter making all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest (which
payments would otherwise be made in the Specified Currency of such Notes) in
the Optional Payment Currency specified on the face hereof.  If the Company makes such an election, the
amount of Optional Payment Currency payable in respect hereof shall be
determined by the Exchange Rate Agent by converting the amount of Specified
Currency that would otherwise be payable into the Optional Payment Currency at
the Designated Exchange Rate specified on the face hereof.

 

8

 

The Company may exercise such
option by notifying the Trustee of such exercise on or prior to the Option
Election Date.  The Trustee will mail by
first-class mail to each holder of a Note of this Tranche a notice of such
election within five Business Days of the Option Election Date which shall
state (i) the first date, whether an Interest Payment Date and/or the
Maturity Date, on which scheduled payments in the Optional Payment Currency
will be made and (ii) the Designated Exchange Rate.  Any such notice by the Company, once given,
may not be withdrawn.

 

If this Note is a Dual Currency
Note, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof and notwithstanding any
prior election made by the Company, the amount payable hereon in the event of
any optional redemption by the Company, any repayment at the option of the
Holder, any acceleration of the Maturity of this Note or other prepayment of
this Note prior to the Maturity Date shall be an amount equal to the Principal
Amount hereof otherwise due and payable plus accrued interest to but excluding
the date of redemption, repayment, acceleration or other prepayment minus the
Total Option Value multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Principal Amount hereof and the denominator of which is the aggregate Principal
Amount of all Dual Currency Notes of this Tranche.  In no event will such payment be less than
zero. Notwithstanding any prior election made by the Company, such payment
shall be made in the Specified Currency unless otherwise provided on the face
hereof.

 

The term “Total Option Value”
means, with respect to any Dual Currency Note on any date, an amount
(calculated as of such date by the Option Value Calculation Agent) equal to the
sum of the Option Values (calculated as of such date by the Option Value
Calculation Agent) for all Interest Payment Dates occurring after the date of
calculation up to and including the Maturity Date.  The term “Option Value” means, with respect
to an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, the amount calculated by the
Option Value Calculation Agent to be the arithmetic average of the prices
quoted on the date of calculation by three reference banks (which banks shall
be selected by the Option Value Calculation Agent and shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Company) for the right on the Option Election Date
immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date to purchase
for value on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date from such reference
banks (A) the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency due on such
Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date with respect to all of the Dual Currency
Notes of this Tranche in exchange for (B) the amount of the Optional
Payment Currency that would be received if the amount in clause (A) were
converted into the Optional Payment Currency at the Designated Exchange Rate.

 

All determinations referred to
above made by the Exchange Rate Agent or the Option Value Calculation Agent
shall be at their sole discretion (except to the extent expressly provided
herein that any determination is subject to approval by the Company) and, in
the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding
on the Holder hereof, and neither the Exchange Rate Agent nor the Option Value
Calculation Agent shall have any liability therefor.

 

Section 9.  Extension
of Maturity Notes.  If it is
specified on the face hereof that this Note is an Extension of Maturity Note,
the Company has the option to extend the Maturity Date hereof for the number of
Extension Periods set forth on the face hereof, each of which Extension Periods
shall be a period of from one to five whole years.  Unless otherwise specified on the face
hereof, the following procedures shall apply if this Note is an Extension of
Maturity Note.

 

The Company may exercise its
option by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 45 but not more than
60 days prior to the Maturity Date hereof in effect prior to the exercise of
such option (the “Original Stated Maturity”). 
Not later than five Business Days after receipt thereof, the Trustee
will mail to the Holder a notice (the “Extension Notice”), first class, postage
prepaid, setting forth (i) the election of the Company to extend the
Maturity Date, (ii) the new Maturity Date, (iii) the Interest Rate
applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if any, for
redemption during the Extension Period, including the date on which or the
period or periods during which and the price at which such redemption may occur
during the Extension Period.  Upon the
mailing by the Trustee of an Extension Notice to the Holder, the Maturity Date
hereof shall be extended automatically, and, except as modified by the
Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, this Note will have
the same terms as prior to the mailing of such Extension Notice.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
not later than 20 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity hereof, the
Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate provided for in the
Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period
by causing the Trustee to mail notice of such higher interest rate, first
class, postage prepaid, to the Holder. 
Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be mailed by the Trustee
within three 

 

9

 

Business Days after receipt
thereof.  This Note will bear such higher
interest rate for the Extension Period, whether or not tendered for repayment.

 

If the Company extends the
Maturity Date of this Note, the Holder will have the option to elect repayment
by the Company of this Note, or any portion hereof, on the Original Stated
Maturity at a price calculated with reference to the Face Amount hereof to be
repaid plus any accrued interest to such date. 
In order for this Note to be so repaid on the Original Stated Maturity,
the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Section 5 hereof for
optional repayment, except that the period for delivery of this Note or
notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days
prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that the Holder may, by
written notice to the Trustee, revoke any such tender for repayment until the
close of business on the tenth day prior to the Original Stated Maturity; provided, however,
that if such day is not a Business Day, then such notice may be given on the
next succeeding Business Day.

 

Section 10.  Extendible
Notes.  If it is specified on the
face hereof that this Note is an Extendible Note, this Note will mature on the
Initial Maturity Date specified on the face hereof unless the Maturity of all
or any portion of this Note is extended in accordance with the procedures
described below.

 

On the Interest Payment Date
occurring in the sixth month (unless a different Special Election Interval is
specified on the face hereof) prior to the Initial Maturity Date hereof (the “Initial
Maturity Extension Date”) and on the Interest Payment Date occurring in each
sixth month (or the last month of each Special Election Interval) after such
Initial Maturity Extension Date (each, together with the Initial Maturity
Extension Date, a “Maturity Extension Date”), the Maturity of this Note will be
extended to the Interest Payment Date occurring in the twelfth month (or, if a
Special Election Interval is specified on the face hereof, the last month in a
period equal to twice the Special Election Interval) after such Maturity
Extension Date, unless the Holder elects to terminate the automatic extension
of the Maturity hereof or any portion hereof as described below.

 

If the Holder elects to
terminate the automatic extension of the Maturity of any portion of the
principal amount of this Note during the specified period prior to any Maturity
Extension 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 Maturity Extension Date (the “Extended Maturity
Date”).

 

The Holder may elect to
terminate the automatic extension of the Maturity of this Note, or if so
specified above, any portion hereof, 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 Maturity Extension Date
(unless another period is specified on the face hereof as the “Special Election
Period”).  Such election will be
irrevocable and will be binding upon each subsequent Holder of this Note.  An election to terminate the automatic
extension of the Maturity of this Note may be exercised with respect to less
than the entire Face Amount hereof only if so specified on the face hereof and
only in such Face Amount, or any integral multiple in excess thereof, as is
specified on the face hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maturity of
this Note will not be extended beyond the Maturity Date specified on the face
hereof.

 

Unless otherwise specified
above, any such election to terminate will be effective only if this Note, with
the “Option to Elect Termination of Automatic Extension” included herein duly
executed, is 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 from a member of a national securities
exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, 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 Note the Trustee (or any duly appointed Paying Agent) shall issue in
exchange herefor in the name of the Holder (i) a Note, in a face amount
equal to the face amount of this Note for which the election to terminate the
automatic extension of Maturity was exercised, with terms identical to those
specified herein (except for the Issue Date and the Initial Interest Rate and
except that such Note shall have a fixed, non-extendable Maturity on the
Extended Maturity Date) and (ii) if such election is made with respect to
less than the full Face Amount hereof, a replacement Renewable Note, in a face
amount equal to the Face Amount of this Note for which no election was made,
with terms identical to this Note.

 

10

 

Section 11.  Principal
Amount For Indenture Purposes.  For
the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite amount of Notes
outstanding under the Indenture have made a demand, given a notice or waiver or
taken any other action, the outstanding principal amount of this Note will be
deemed to be the Principal Amount, provided,
however, if this Note is an OID
Note, the outstanding principal amount of this Note will be deemed to be the
amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of
such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof.

 

Section 12.  Modification
and Waivers.  The Indenture contains
provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the
holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of each series
of the Securities at the time Outstanding to be affected, evidenced as in the
Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture
or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the
holders of the Securities of all such series; provided,
however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) extend the fixed
maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the
rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon or reduce any premium
payable on redemption, or make the principal thereof, or premium, if any, or
interest thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove
provided, without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) change
the place of payment on any Security, or impair the right to institute suit for
payment on any Security, or reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the
holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture,
without the consent of the holders of each Security so affected.  It is also provided in the Indenture that,
prior to any declaration accelerating the Maturity of any series of Securities,
the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
such series Outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all the Securities of
such series waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture with
respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of
interest, if any, on or the principal of, or premium if any, on any of the
Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or
analogous obligation with respect to 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
and owners of this Note and any Notes which may be issued in exchange or
substitution herefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is
made upon this Note or such other Notes.

 

Section 13.  Obligations
Unconditional.  No reference herein
to the Indenture and no provisions of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter
or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on this Note at
the place, at the respective times, at the rate, and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.

 

Section 14.  Defeasance.  The Indenture contains provisions for the
discharge of the Indenture and defeasance at any time of the indebtedness on
this Note upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth
therein, which provisions apply to this Note.

 

Section 15.  Authorized
Form and Denominations.  The
Notes of this series are issuable in registered form, without coupons.  Unless otherwise set forth on the face
hereof, Notes denominated in U.S. dollars will be issued in Face Amount
denominations of U.S.$1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess
thereof.  Notes denominated in a Foreign
Currency will be issued in the denomination or denominations set forth on the
face hereof.  Each Note will be issued
initially as either a Global Security or a Certificated Note, at the option of
the holders thereof, either at the office or agency to be designated and
maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, New
York City, pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture or at any of such other
offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained by the Company for such
purpose pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, and in the manner and
subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, but without the payment
of any service charge, except for any tax or other governmental charges imposed
in connection therewith.  Notes of this
series are exchangeable for a like aggregate Face Amount of Notes of this
series of a different authorized denomination, except that Global Securities
will not be exchangeable for Certificated Notes.

 

Section 16.  Registration
of Transfer.  As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations as therein set forth, the transfer
of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this
Note for registration of transfer, at the Corporate Trust Office or agency in a
Place of Payment for this Note, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security
Registrar requiring such written instrument of transfer duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or his attorney 

 

11

 

duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Notes of this series, of authorized denominations and
for the same aggregate Face Amount, will be issued to the designated transferee
or transferees.

 

If this Note is a Global
Security and if at any time the Depository notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depository or if at any time the Depository
shall no longer be eligible under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a
successor Depository.  If a successor
Depository for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
ineligibility, the Company will issue, and the Trustee will authenticate and
deliver, Notes in definitive form in an aggregate Face Amount equal to the Face
Amount hereof.

 

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 that
may be imposed 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, and neither the Company nor
the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary.

 

Section 17.  Events
of Default.  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.  In the event that this Note is an OID Note or
a Dual Currency Note, the amount of principal of this Note that becomes due and
payable upon such acceleration shall be equal to the amount calculated as set
forth in Section 7 or Section 8, respectively, hereof.  Upon payment (i) of the aggregate
applicable amounts of principal of the Notes of this series so declared due and
payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest
(in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the
principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes of this series shall terminate.

 

Section 18.  No
Recourse Against Certain Persons.  No
recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no
recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in
the Indenture or any Indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because
of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against
any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or
through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance
hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived
and released.

 

Section 19.  Defined
Terms.  All terms used but not
defined in this Note are used herein as defined in the Indenture.

 

Section 20.  GOVERNING
LAW.  THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
