        AMERICAN GENERAL FINANCE CORPORATION, an Indiana corporation (the
"Company", which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
referred to herein), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO.,
or registered assigns, the principal amount specified above in the currency
specified above (the "Specified Currency") on the Stated Maturity specified
above (except to the extent redeemed, repaid or accelerated prior to the Stated
Maturity), and to pay interest thereon in the Specified Currency at a rate per
annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial
Interest Reset Date specified above and thereafter at a rate per annum
determined in accordance with the provisions hereof and any Addendum relating
hereto depending upon the Interest Rate Basis or Bases and such other terms
specified above until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for
payment. References herein to "this Note", "hereof", "herein" and comparable
terms shall include an Addendum hereto if an Addendum is specified above.

          The Company will pay interest on each Interest Payment Date specified
above, commencing on the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the
Original Issue Date specified above, unless the Original Issue Date occurs after
a Regular Record Date (as defined below) and on or before the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, in which case commencing on the second Interest Payment
Date succeeding the Original Issue Date, and on the Stated Maturity or any
Redemption Date or Optional Repayment Date (each as defined below) (the date of
each such Stated Maturity, Redemption Date and Optional Repayment Date and the
date on which principal is due and payable by acceleration pursuant to the
Indenture (as defined below) being referred to hereinafter as a "Maturity" with
respect to principal payable on such date). Interest on this Note will accrue at
the rates determined as specified herein from and including the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the
Original Issue Date specified above, to but excluding the applicable Interest
Payment Date or Maturity, as the case may be, until the principal hereof has
been paid or duly made available for payment. If the Maturity falls on a day
that is not a Business Day (as defined below), principal, premium, if any, and
interest payable with respect to such Maturity will be paid on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such
Maturity, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the
period from and after such Maturity. If any Interest Payment Date other than an
Interest Payment Date at Maturity would fall on a day that is not a Business
Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day
that is a Business Day, except that if the Interest Rate Basis specified above
is LIBOR and such Business Day falls in the next calendar month, then the
applicable Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business
Day. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any
Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one
or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date (the "Holder"). The Regular
Record Date shall be the fifteenth calendar day, whether or not a Business Day,
immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date. Any such interest which
is payable but not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment
Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest"), shall forthwith cease to be payable
to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may 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 the Holder
of this Note not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be
paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided in the
Indenture.

         For purposes of this Note, "Business Day" means any day, other than a
Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which
commercial banks are authorized or required by law,

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; provided,
however, that, with respect to Notes denominated in a currency other than U.S.
dollars, the day must also not be a day on which commercial banks are authorized
or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal
Financial Center (as defined below) of the country issuing the Specified
Currency (or, if the Specified Currency is Euro, the day must also be a day on
which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer
(TARGET) system is open); and provided, further, that if an Interest Rate Basis
specified above is LIBOR, the day must also be a London Business Day (as defined
below). "Principal Financial Center" means, as applicable, the capital city of
the country issuing the Specified Currency or the capital city of the country to
which the LIBOR Currency relates; provided, however, that with respect to U.S.
dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Euro, South African rand and
Swiss francs, the "Principal Financial Center" shall be The City of New York,
Sydney, Toronto, London, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively. "London Business
Day" means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including
dealings in any LIBOR Currency specified above) in London.

         The principal hereof and any premium and interest hereon are payable by
the Company in the Specified Currency shown above. If the Specified Currency of
this Note is U.S. dollars, then payment of the principal, premium, if any, and
interest on this Note will be made by wire transfer of such money of the United
States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for payment of
public and private debts to an account specified by the Holder for such purpose.
If the Specified Currency of this Note is other than U.S. dollars, the Exchange
Rate Agent specified above or a successor thereto (the "Exchange Rate Agent")
will (unless otherwise specified herein) arrange to convert all payments in
respect hereof into U.S. dollars in the manner described below. However, the
Holder hereof may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of
principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect hereof in the Specified
Currency by delivery of a written request to the Trustee at its corporate trust
office in The City of New York on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the
applicable record date or at least ten calendar days prior to the Maturity, as
the case may be. Such request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by cable,
telex or other form of facsimile transmission. Such election will remain in
effect until revoked by written notice delivered to the Trustee on or prior to
the fifth Business Day after the applicable record date or at least ten calendar
days prior to the Maturity, as the case may be.

         If the Specified Currency is other than U.S. dollars and the Holder
fails to elect payment in such Specified Currency, the amount of any U.S. dollar
payments to be made in respect hereof will be determined by the Exchange Rate
Agent in the morning of the day that would be considered the date for "spot"
settlement of such Specified Currency on the applicable Payment Date in
accordance with market convention (generally two New York Business Days (as
defined below) prior to the Payment Date) at the market rate determined by the
Exchange Rate Agent to accomplish the conversion on that Payment Date of the
aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable on this Note (and any other
Note with similar terms and bearing the same CUSIP number) to be converted into
U.S. dollars. "New York Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or
Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are
authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The
City of New York. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the Holders
hereof by deductions from such U.S. dollar payments.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

         Except as set forth below, if any payment in respect hereof is required
to be made in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such currency is
unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of governmental exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the Company's control or is no longer
used by the government of the country issuing such currency (unless replaced by
the Euro) or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or
within the international banking community, then such payment shall be made in
U.S. dollars until such currency is again available to the Company or so used.
In the event of such unavailability of the Specified Currency, the Company will
be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the Holder by making payments in U.S.
dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below), computed by
the Exchange Rate Agent, on the second Business Day prior to the particular
payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of
the most recently available Market Exchange Rate. The "Market Exchange Rate" for
a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars means the noon dollar buying rate
in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as
certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as otherwise
determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment in respect of
this Note made in U.S. dollars under such circumstances will not constitute an
Event of Default under the Indenture.

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

                  If the principal of and any interest and premium, if any, on
this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and the
issuing country of such Specified Currency becomes a Participating Member State
(as defined below), then the Company may, solely at its option and without the
consent of the Holder of this Note or the need to amend the Indenture or this
Note, on any Interest Payment Date occurring after the date on which such
country has become a Participating Member State (such Interest Payment Date, a
"Redenomination Date"), redenominate this Note into Euro upon the giving of not
less than 30 days' notice thereof to the Holder of this Note, which notice shall
set forth the manner in which such redenomination shall be effected. If the
Company elects to redenominate this Note, the election to redenominate will have
effect as follows:

                  1. the Specified Currency will be deemed to be redenominated
in such amount of Euro as is equivalent to its denomination or the amount of
interest so specified in the Specified Currency at the Fixed Conversion Rate (as
defined below) adopted by the Council of the European Union for the Specified
Currency, rounded down to the nearest Euro 0.01;

                  2. after the Redenomination Date, all payments in respect of
this Note, other than payments of interest in respect of periods commencing
before the Redenomination Date, will be made solely in Euro as though references
in this Note to the Specified Currency were to Euro. Payments will be made in
Euro by credit or transfer to a Euro account (or any other account to which Euro
may be credited or transferred) specified by the Holder, or at the option of the
Holder, by a Euro cheque;

                  3. if interest hereon for any period ending on or after the
Redenomination Date is required to be calculated for a period of less than one
year, it will be calculated on the basis of the applicable fraction specified
herein; and

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

                  4. such other changes shall be made to the terms of this Note
as the Company may decide, after consultation with the Trustee, and as may be
specified in the notice, to conform them to conventions then applicable to debt
securities denominated in Euro or to enable this Note to be consolidated with
other notes, whether or not originally denominated in the Specified Currency or
Euro. Any such other changes will not take effect until after they have been
notified to the Holder.

         The definition of Business Day that shall apply for payments on or in
respect hereof following any redenomination hereof and for all other purposes
under this Note and under the Indenture shall be (A) the business day definition
for fixed rate Euro-denominated debt obligations issued in the Euromarkets and
held in international clearing systems which are consistent with existing or
anticipated market practices as determined by the Company or (B) if no such
business day definition is so determined, the definition of business day which
applied to this Note before redenomination or (C) if the Company would be unable
to make payments on this Note on the date that payment is expressed to be due if
(B) above were to apply, such other business day definition as is determined by
the Company.

         "Fixed Conversion Rate" with respect to any Specified Currency means
the irrevocably fixed conversion rate between the Euro and such Specified
Currency adopted by the Council of the European Union according to Article 109
(4), first sentence, of the Treaty of Rome (as defined below).

         "Participating Member State" means a member state of the European Union
that adopts the Euro in accordance with the Treaty of Rome.

         "Treaty of Rome" means the Treaty of Rome of March 25, 1957, as amended
by the Single European Act of 1986 and the Maastricht Treaty (as defined below),
establishing the European Community, as amended from time to time.

         "Maastricht Treaty" means the Treaty on European Union which was signed
in Maastricht, the Netherlands, on February 1, 1992 and came into force on
November 1, 1993.

         Except as provided herein with respect to the redenomination of this
Note into Euro, the occurrence or non-occurrence of an EMU Event (as defined
below) or the entry into force of any law, regulation, directive or order
requiring redenomination to be undertaken on terms different than those
described herein, will not have the effect of altering any term of, or
discharging or excusing performance under, the Indenture or this Note nor give
the Company, the Trustee or the Holder of this Note, the right unilaterally to
alter or terminate the Indenture or this Note or give rise to any Event of
Default or otherwise be the basis for any acceleration, early redemption,
rescission, notice, repudiation, adjustment or renegotiation of the terms of the
Indenture or this Note. The occurrence or non-occurrence of an EMU Event will be
considered to occur automatically pursuant to the terms of this Note. For
purposes hereof, "EMU Event" means any event associated with the Economic
Monetary Union as contemplated by the Treaty of Rome in the European Community,
including, without limitation, each (and any combination) of (i) the fixing of
exchange rates between the currency of a Participating Member State and the Euro
or between the currencies of Participating Member States; (ii) the introduction
of the Euro as lawful currency in a Participating Member State; (iii) the
withdrawal from legal tender of any currency that, before the introduction of
the Euro, was lawful currency in any of the Participating Member States; or (iv)
the disappearance or replacement of a relevant rate option or

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

other price source for the national currency of any Participating Member States,
or the failure of the agreed price or rate sponsor or screen provider (or any
successor thereto) to publish or display a relevant rate, index, price, page or
screen.

         In the event that the issuing country of the Specified Currency, or, in
the case of the Euro, the European Union, officially redenominates the Specified
Currency into, or replaces it with, a currency other than the Euro, then the
Company's obligations with respect to payments on this Note shall be deemed,
immediately following such redenomination, to provide for payment of that amount
of redenominated currency representing the amount of the Company's obligations
immediately prior to such redenomination (by application of the fixed conversion
rate adopted for this purpose by such country, or the European Union, as the
case may be). Except as set forth above, in no event shall any adjustment be
made to any amount payable with respect to this Note as a result of any change
in the value of the Specified Currency relative to any other currency due solely
to fluctuations in exchange rates.

         Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, the
rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each
Interest Reset Date specified above; provided, however, that if this Note is
designated above as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note, the interest rate will no
longer be reset after the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified above. Each
such reset rate shall be applicable on and after the Interest Reset Date (which
term includes the Initial Interest Reset Date unless the context requires
otherwise) to which it relates, to but not including the next succeeding
Interest Reset Date, or until the Maturity, as the case may be. If any Interest
Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest
Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day; provided that
if an Interest Rate Basis specified above is LIBOR and such Business Day is in
the next calendar month, then the Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately
preceding Business Day. In addition, if an Interest Rate Basis specified above
is the Treasury Rate and the Interest Determination Date (as defined below)
would otherwise be an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will be
postponed to the next succeeding Business Day.

         Regular Floating Rate Notes. Unless this Note is designated on the
first page hereof as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note or an Inverse Floating Rate
Note or as having an Addendum attached hereto or Other Provisions apply relating
to a different interest rate formula, it will bear interest at the rate
determined by reference to the Interest Rate Basis or Bases specified on the
first page hereof plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or multiplied by the
Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the first page hereof.

         Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Notes. If this Note is designated on the first
page hereof as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note, it will bear interest at the
rate determined by reference to the Interest Rate Basis or Bases specified on
the first page hereof plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or multiplied by the
Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the first page hereof; provided that on
the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified on the first page hereof, the
interest rate will be reset to the Fixed Interest Rate specified on the first
page hereof or, if no Fixed Interest Rate is so specified, the interest rate in
effect on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date, and
such interest rate will continue in effect until the Maturity.

Interest Rate specified on the first page hereof minus the rate determined by
reference to the Interest Rate Basis or Bases specified on the first page hereof
plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if
any, specified on the first page hereof; provided, however, that unless
otherwise specified on the first page hereof, the interest rate on this Note
will not be less than zero percent.

         Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as otherwise
specified herein, on each Interest Reset Date the rate of interest on this Note
shall be the rate determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined herein) in
accordance with the applicable provisions below.

         Determination of CD Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis specified on the
first page hereof is the CD Rate, this Note will bear interest at rates
calculated with reference to the CD Rate and the specified Spread and/or Spread
Multiplier, if any.

Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the
Index Maturity specified on the first page hereof, as published in H.15(519) (as

of deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent, or (4) if

         Citibank, N.A., as calculation agent (the "Calculation Agent") shall

Interest Reset Date. If the specified Interest Rate Basis is the Treasury Rate,
the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be the
day in the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which direct
obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") are normally 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 the Auction may be held on the preceding Friday;
provided, however, that if an Auction is held on the Friday of the week
preceding such Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date
shall be that Friday. If the Auction is held on the following Tuesday or any
other Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date that otherwise would
have been on that day will be postponed to the next Business Day. If no Auction
is held for a particular week, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the
Interest Reset Date occurring in that week will be the first Business Day of
that week. If two or more Interest Rate Bases are specified, the Interest
Determination Date will be the latest Business Day which is at least two
Business Days before the related Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate
Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis will be determined on

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

the Interest Determination Date, and the applicable interest rate will take
effect on the related Interest Reset Date.

         Each Interest Rate Basis will be determined as of the Interest
Determination Date, and the applicable interest rate will take effect on the
related Interest Reset Date.

         The "Calculation Date" pertaining to an Interest Determination Date
will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest
Determination Date or, if the tenth calendar day is not a Business Day, the next
Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment
Date or the Maturity, as the case may be.

         Unless otherwise specified above, accrued interest hereon shall be
calculated by multiplying the principal amount of this Note by an accrued
interest factor, computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day
in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. Unless otherwise
specified above, the interest factor for each such day will be computed by

ARTICLE 3
ALLOCATION OF INCOME TAX LIABILITIES; PAYMENT OF TAX

      3.1   ALLOCATION OF INCOME TAX LIABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO TAXABLE PERIODS
ENDING BEFORE OR INCLUDING THE EFFECTIVE DATE.

            (a)   Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
consolidated federal income Tax liability of the Consolidated Group for all
Taxable Periods ending before or including the Effective Date shall be allocated
pursuant to Section 1552(a)(1) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder among
the members of the Consolidated Group in accordance with the ratio which that
portion of the consolidated taxable income attributable to each member of the
Consolidated Group having taxable income bears to the consolidated taxable
income of the Consolidated Group. The same allocation principles shall apply in
determining each member's share of any state, local or other income Tax
liability determined on a consolidated or combined basis to the extent such
principles are not inconsistent with requirements imposed by such state, local,
or other Taxing Authority. Each member shall be responsible for, and shall
immediately pay to Zapata its allocable portion of the consolidated federal
income Tax liability of the Consolidated Group, as well as its allocable portion
of state, local, or other Tax liability determined on a consolidated or combined
basis.

            (b)   If the consolidated federal income Tax liability or state,
local, or other income Tax liability determined on a consolidated or combined
basis is adjusted for any Taxable Period, whether by means of an amended return,
claim for refund, or an audit by a Taxing Authority, the liability of each
member of the Consolidated Group shall be recomputed to give effect to such
adjustments in accordance with Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement; provided that
any accuracy-related penalty imposed under Section 6662 of the Code or any fraud
penalty under Section 6663 of the Code shall be allocated to and be borne by
each member to the extent the imposition of such penalty against the
Consolidated Group is the result of adjustments to the Tax liability of the
Consolidated Group attributable to adjustments (i) which are inconsistent with
Tax Return positions taken by such member and, if such member is not the common
parent, communicated to the common parent of the Consolidated Group, or (ii)
which are inconsistent with Tax Return information furnished by such member to
the common parent of the Consolidated Group.

      3.2   TAX ATTRIBUTES.

            (a)   Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each member of

it asserts is owed by it or is due to it) regarding the total amount in dispute.

                  (iii) The arbitrator shall base his decision on the following
