Item 8.01. Other Events.

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (the “Company”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Underwriter”), have entered into a Pricing Agreement, dated September 21, 2005 (the “Pricing Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, the Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriter, and the Underwriter has agreed to purchase from the Company, $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Floating Rate Notes due 2007 (the “Notes”). The Pricing Agreement incorporates by reference the terms and conditions of an Underwriting Agreement, dated August 8, 2005 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and between the Company and, as to the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Underwriter.

The Company and the Underwriter intend to consummate the sale and purchase of the Notes pursuant to the Pricing Agreement on September 28, 2005. The Underwriter is offering the notes from time to time for sale in negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at varying prices to be determined at the time of each sale. The Underwriter has agreed to purchase the notes from us at 100% of their principal amount ($1,500,000,000 of proceeds to us), subject to the terms and conditions in the Underwriting Agreement between the Underwriter and us. We estimate that the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, after expenses of the sale of the Notes, will be $1,499,875,000.

The Notes constitute the Company’s newly created series of Floating Rate Notes Due 2007 (the “Series”) and are senior, unsecured and subordinated debt securities of the Company. The Series was created and established, and its terms and conditions were established, by action of the Company and an authorized officer of the Company pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Indenture, dated as of July 19, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The terms of the Notes are as set forth in the Indenture and in the form of Global Note (referred to below) that will represent the Notes.

The material terms of the Notes are described in (i) the prospectus supplement of the Company dated September 21, 2005, which relates to the offer and sale of the Notes (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and supplements the Company’s prospectus dated July 19, 2005, which prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time of up to $5,000,000,000 of the Company’s debt securities (the “Prospectus”), and (ii) in the Prospectus. The Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus were filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 23, 2005 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) of the Commission promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes.

The Notes will be delivered in book-entry form only and will be represented by three global notes, each of which will be in the original principal amount of $500,000,000 (collectively, the “Global Notes”). Each of the Global Notes will be payable to Cede & Co., as the nominee of The Depository Trust Company. The Global Notes will be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee.

Series Terms Certificate

Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Indenture

Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Indenture, dated as of July 19, 2005 (the “Indenture”), made between Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), Steven R. Zielske, Vice President of Finance and Assistant Treasurer of the Company, hereby certifies as follows, and Anthony D. George, Associate General Counsel, Finance and Assistant Secretary of the Company, attests to the following certification. Any capitalized term used herein shall have the definition ascribed to that term as set forth in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein.

A. This certificate is a Series Terms Certificate contemplated by Section 3.01 of the Indenture and is being executed to evidence the establishment and approval of the terms and conditions of the Series that was established pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Indenture by means of a Unanimous Written Consent of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, dated September 21, 2005 (the “Original Series Consent”), which Series is designated as the “Floating Rate Notes due 2007” (the “2007 Series”), by Steven R. Zielske, Vice President of Finance and Assistant Treasurer of the Company, pursuant to the grant of authority under the terms of the Original Series Consent.

B. Each of the undersigned has read the Indenture, including the provisions of Sections 1.02 and 3.01 and the definitions relating thereto, and the resolutions adopted in the Original Series Consent. In the opinion of the undersigned, the undersigned have made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable the undersigned to express an informed opinion as to whether or not all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to the execution and delivery by the Trustee of the Indenture, to the creation, establishment and approval of the title, the form and the terms of a Series under the Indenture, and to the authentication and delivery by the Trustee of promissory notes of a Series, have been complied with. In the opinion of the undersigned, (i) all such conditions precedent have been complied with and (ii) there are no Events of Default (as defined in the Indenture), or events which, with the passage of time, would become an Event of Default under the Indenture.

C. Pursuant to the Original Series Consent, the Company is authorized to issue $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of promissory notes of the 2007 Series (the “Initial Notes”). A copy of the Original Series Consent is attached hereto as Annex A. Any promissory notes that the Company issues that are a part of the 2007 Series (the “Notes”) shall be represented by global securities substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B (the “Form of Note”).

D. Pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Indenture, the terms and conditions of the 2007 Series and the promissory notes forming a part of the 2007 Series, including the Notes, are established and approved to be the following:

1. Designation:

The Series established by the Original Series Consent is designated as the “Floating Rate Notes due 2007.”

2. Aggregate Principal Amount:

The 2007 Series is not limited as to the aggregate principal amount of all the promissory notes of the 2007 Series that the Company may issue. The Company is issuing the Initial Notes, which have an aggregate original principal amount of $1,500,000,000.

3. Maturity:

Final maturity of the Notes of the 2007 Series will be March 28, 2007.

4. Interest:

a. Rate

The Notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the Three-Month LIBOR Rate (determined as set forth below) for each interest period minus 0.1025%, which interest shall commence accruing from and including September 28, 2005. Additional Amounts (as defined in Section 5(a) of the Form of Note), if any, will also be payable on the Notes.

b. Interest Calculation

J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”), will compute interest on the Notes on a daily basis from and including the last interest payment date to which interest has been paid (or from and including the date of issue if no interest has been paid with respect to the notes) to, but excluding, the applicable interest payment date or the maturity date (or the date of a tax redemption), as the case may be. If any interest payment date for the Notes (other than the maturity date or the date of a tax redemption) would otherwise be a day that is not a business day, then the interest payment date will be postponed to the following date which is a business day, unless that business day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the interest payment date will be the immediately preceding business day. If the maturity date (or the date of a tax redemption) of the Notes falls on a day which is not a business day, then the Company will make the required payment of principal and interest on the following day which is a business day, as if it were made on the date the payment was due. Interest will not accrue as a result of

2

this delayed payment. The term “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York. The Calculation Agent will reset the rate of interest on the Notes on each interest payment date. If any of the interest reset dates for the Notes is not a business day, that interest reset date will be postponed to the next succeeding business day, unless that day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the interest reset date will be the business day immediately preceding the related interest payment date. The interest rate set for the Notes on a particular interest reset date will remain in effect during the interest period commencing on that interest reset date. Each interest period will be the period from and including an interest reset date (except for the initial interest period, which shall commence on and include September 28, 2005) to but excluding the next interest reset date or until the maturity date of the Notes, as the case may be. The Calculation Agent will determine the interest rate applicable to the Notes on the interest determination date, which will be the second London Business Day immediately preceding the interest reset date. The interest rate determined on an interest determination date will become effective on and as of the next interest reset date. The initial interest determination date will be September 26, 2005 for the interest period commencing September 28, 2005. “London Business Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

The Calculation Agent will determine the applicable LIBOR rate according to the following provisions:

(i) The Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be the rate for three-month deposits in U.S. dollars commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the interest determination date that appears on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on Telerate Page 3750, for the purpose of displaying the London interbank offered rates of major banks as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on that interest determination date.

(ii) If the applicable LIBOR rate does not appear on the indicated Telerate Page, or if that Telerate Page is unavailable, then the calculation agent will determine LIBOR as follows:

(A) The Calculation Agent will select the principal London offices of four major banks in the London

3

interbank market. It will request each bank to provide its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month maturity commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the interest determination date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on the interest determination date. These quotes will be for deposits of at least $1 million and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in the market at that time.

(B) If at least two of these banks provide a quotation, the Calculation Agent will compute LIBOR as the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided.

(C) If fewer than two of these banks provide a quotation, the Calculation Agent will request from three major banks in The City of New York at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the interest determination date, quotations for three-month loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the interest determination date. These quotes will be for loans of at least $1 million and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the market at that time. The Calculation Agent will compute LIBOR as the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided.

(D) If none of these banks provides a quotation as mentioned, the rate of interest will be the interest rate then in effect.

The interest rate payable on the Notes will not be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as that law may be modified by U.S. law of general application. The Calculation Agent will promptly notify the Trustee of each determination of the interest rate. The Calculation Agent shall also notify the Trustee of the interest period, the floating rate interest payment date, the floating interest rate for that interest period, and the amount of interest to be paid on the Notes related to each reset date. The Calculation Agent will make such information available to the holders of the Notes upon request. The calculations of the Calculation Agent will, in the absence of manifest error, be

4

conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holders of the Notes. So long as Notes are outstanding, there will at all times be a Calculation Agent.

The Company will appoint a bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to act as the successor calculation agent to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association or any of its successors in that capacity in the event that:

(i) any acting Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act,

(ii) any acting Calculation Agent fails to establish the floating interest rate, or

(iii) the Company proposes to remove the Calculation Agent.

c. Payment Dates

Interest will be payable on the Notes quarterly in arrears on March 28, June 28, September 28, and December 28 of each year, beginning on December 28, 2005, to the person or persons in whose name or names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day preceding the day on which interest is payable. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant interest period and a 360-day year.

5. Currency of Payment:

The principal and interest payable with respect to the Notes shall be payable in United States dollars.

6. Payment Places:

All payments of principal of and interest on the Notes shall be made as set forth in Section 6 of the Form of Note.

7. Optional Redemption Features:

The Company may redeem the Notes upon the occurrence of certain tax events pursuant to Section 5(b) of the Form of Note.

5

8. Special Redemption Features, etc.:

None.

9. Denominations:

$2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 for the Notes.

10. Principal Repayment:

100% of the principal amount of the Notes.

11. Registrar, Calculation Agent and Paying Agent:

J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association will be the registrar, calculation agent and paying agent for the Notes.

12. Payment of Additional Amounts:

The Company shall pay additional amounts as set forth under Section 5 of the Form of Note.

13. Book-Entry Procedures:

The Notes shall be issued in the form of global Notes registered in the name of CEDE & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company and will be issued in certificated form only in limited circumstances, in each case, as set forth under Sections 12 and 13 of the Form of Note.

14. Other Terms:

Sections 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the Form of Note attached hereto as Annex B shall also apply to the Notes.

The Notes will not have any terms or conditions of the type contemplated by clause (ii), (iii), (vi), (vii), (xii), (xiii), (xvi), (xvii), or (xx) of Section 3.01 of the Indenture.

E. The Notes will be issued pursuant to and governed by the Indenture. To the extent that the Indenture’s terms apply to the Notes specifically or apply to the terms of all Securities of all Series established pursuant to and governed by the Indenture, such terms shall apply to the Notes.

WAL-MART STORES, INC.

FLOATING RATE NOTES DUE 2007

1. Indenture; Notes. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as the “Floating Rate Notes due 2007” (the “Notes”), initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000 on September 28, 2005. Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to, and is one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the Company, issued or issuable under and pursuant to, the Indenture, dated as of July 19, 2005 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Company, as Issuer, and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which this Note is, and is to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern.

All capitalized terms which are used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

The Company may, without the consent of the holders, issue and sell additional Securities ranking equally with the Notes and otherwise identical in all respects (except for their date of issue, issue price and the date from which interest payments thereon shall accrue) so that such additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes; provided, however, that no additional Securities of any existing or new series may be issued under the Indenture if an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured thereunder.

2. Interest Rate. The rate at which interest shall be payable on the Notes shall be a floating rate, which for each interest period shall be the Three-Month LIBOR Rate determined for that interest period minus 10.25 basis points (0.1025%).

The Calculation Agent (as defined below) will reset the rate of interest on the Notes on March 28, June 28, September 28 and December 28 of each year (each, an “Interest Reset Date”).

The Calculation Agent shall determine the applicable interest rate on the Notes for the succeeding interest period on the date that is two London Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date (each an “Interest Determination Date”). The Interest Determination Date for the initial applicable interest rate on the Notes was September 26, 2004.

The interest rate determined on an Interest Determination Date for the Notes (a) shall become effective on and as of the next succeeding Interest Reset Date and (b) shall be the

rate at which interest is payable on the Notes for the interest period from and including the Interest Reset Date on which that interest rate becomes effective to but excluding the succeeding Interest Reset Date (each, an “Interest Period”).

J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association shall act as calculation agent (together with its successors in that capacity, the “Calculation Agent”) in connection with the Notes. The Calculation Agent shall serve as the calculation agent hereunder unless and until a successor calculation agent is appointed by the Company. The calculations of the Calculation Agent will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holders of the Notes.

The Company shall appoint a bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to act as the successor calculation agent to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, or any of its successors in that capacity, in the event that: (i) any acting calculation agent is unable or unwilling to act, (ii) any acting calculation agent fails to establish the floating interest rate, or (iii) the Company proposes to remove the Calculation Agent.

“Business Day” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.

“London Business Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

“Three-Month LIBOR Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date and having a three-month maturity which appears on the Telerate Page 3750 (as defined below) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date; provided, that if on any Interest Determination Date the applicable London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, or if Telerate Page 3750 is not available, then the Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market, which banks are to be selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date and having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount equal to at least $1 million and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate for such deposits. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided to the Calculation Agent. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, the Three-Month LIBOR Rate in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be determined on the basis of the rates quoted by three major banks located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which banks are to be selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 am, New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading

2

European banks, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date and having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount equal to an amount of at least $1 million and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be at the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided; provided, however, that if none of the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in the immediately preceding sentence, the interest rate will be the interest rate on the Notes in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

“Telerate Page 3750” means the display page designated as page 3750 on the Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) or such other page as may replace page 3750 on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates.

The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York, as the same may be modified by the laws of the United States of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Trustee will provide to such holder the interest rate then in effect for this Note, if available, and, if different, the interest rate to be in effect as a result of a determination made on the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to this Note, and the Interest Period related to an Interest Reset Date specified in the holder’s request, the amount of interest to accrue for the Interest Period to commence on such Interest Reset Date and the Interest Payment Date related to such Interest Reset Date, as soon as such information is available to the Trustee.

Interest payments hereon will include the amount of interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date.

Unless otherwise specified herein, all percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 6.526545% (or .06526545) will be rounded upward to 6.52655% (or .0652655)), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

3. Ranking. The Notes shall constitute the senior, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company and shall rank equally in right of payment among themselves and with all other existing and future senior, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company.

4. Payment of Overdue Amounts. The Company shall pay interest, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant interest period and a 360-day year, on overdue principal and overdue installments of interest, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful.

(iv) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal of or interest on this Note;

(ix) any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) in this Section 5(a);

The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company in whole, but not in part, on a date (such date, the “Tax Redemption Date”) to be fixed by the Company on not more than 60 days’ and not less than 30 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (the “Redemption Price”) plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and any Additional Amounts thereon, if the Company determines that as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, or any proposed change in such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings, or any change in the official application, enforcement or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings, including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America, or any other action, other than an action predicated on laws generally known on or before September 21, 2005 except for proposals before the U.S. Congress before such date, taken by any taxing authority or a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America, or the official proposal of any such action, whether or not such action or proposal was taken or made with respect to the Company, (A) the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts or (B) there is a substantial possibility that the Company will be required to pay such Additional Amounts.

However, the Indenture requires the consent of each holder of the Notes and Securities of other series that would be affected for certain specified amendments or modifications of the Indenture and the Notes. These provisions of the Indenture, which provide for, among other things, the execution of supplemental indentures, are applicable to the Notes.

12. Form and Denominations; Global Notes; Definitive Notes.

The Notes are being issued in the form of global notes (each, a “Global Note”), evidencing all or any portion of the Notes and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee (including their respective successors) as Depositary under the Indenture. The Notes shall be

7

issued in certificated form (each, a “Definitive Note”) only in the following limited circumstances: (1) the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under applicable law, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility; (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that this Note shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes; or (3) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, in each such case this Note shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes in an equal aggregate principal amount. Such Definitive Notes shall be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.

13. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Notes and the transfer and exchange of the Notes, whether in global or definitive form.

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may deem and treat the holder as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not the Notes shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payments hereon, or on account hereof, and for all other 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. All such payments made to or upon the order of such holder shall, to the extent of the amount or amounts paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for moneys payable on this Note.

WAL-MART STORES, INC.

FLOATING RATE NOTES DUE 2007

1. Indenture; Notes. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as the “Floating Rate Notes due 2007” (the “Notes”), initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000 on September 28, 2005. Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to, and is one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the Company, issued or issuable under and pursuant to, the Indenture, dated as of July 19, 2005 (the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Company, as Issuer, and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which this Note is, and is to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and those set forth in this Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern.

All capitalized terms which are used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

The Company may, without the consent of the holders, issue and sell additional Securities ranking equally with the Notes and otherwise identical in all respects (except for their date of issue, issue price and the date from which interest payments thereon shall accrue) so that such additional Securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes; provided, however, that no additional Securities of any existing or new series may be issued under the Indenture if an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured thereunder.

2. Interest Rate. The rate at which interest shall be payable on the Notes shall be a floating rate, which for each interest period shall be the Three-Month LIBOR Rate determined for that interest period minus 10.25 basis points (0.1025%).

The Calculation Agent (as defined below) will reset the rate of interest on the Notes on March 28, June 28, September 28 and December 28 of each year (each, an “Interest Reset Date”).

The Calculation Agent shall determine the applicable interest rate on the Notes for the succeeding interest period on the date that is two London Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date (each an “Interest Determination Date”). The Interest Determination Date for the initial applicable interest rate on the Notes was September 26, 2004.

The interest rate determined on an Interest Determination Date for the Notes (a) shall become effective on and as of the next succeeding Interest Reset Date and (b) shall be the

rate at which interest is payable on the Notes for the interest period from and including the Interest Reset Date on which that interest rate becomes effective to but excluding the succeeding Interest Reset Date (each, an “Interest Period”).

J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association shall act as calculation agent (together with its successors in that capacity, the “Calculation Agent”) in connection with the Notes. The Calculation Agent shall serve as the calculation agent hereunder unless and until a successor calculation agent is appointed by the Company. The calculations of the Calculation Agent will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holders of the Notes.

The Company shall appoint a bank, trust company, investment banking firm or other financial institution to act as the successor calculation agent to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, or any of its successors in that capacity, in the event that: (i) any acting calculation agent is unable or unwilling to act, (ii) any acting calculation agent fails to establish the floating interest rate, or (iii) the Company proposes to remove the Calculation Agent.

“Business Day” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.

“London Business Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

“Three-Month LIBOR Rate” means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date and having a three-month maturity which appears on the Telerate Page 3750 (as defined below) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date; provided, that if on any Interest Determination Date the applicable London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a three-month maturity does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, or if Telerate Page 3750 is not available, then the Three-Month LIBOR Rate will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market, which banks are to be selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date and having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount equal to at least $1 million and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate for such deposits. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided to the Calculation Agent. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, the Three-Month LIBOR Rate in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be determined on the basis of the rates quoted by three major banks located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which banks are to be selected by the Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 am, New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading

2

European banks, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following the Interest Determination Date and having a three-month maturity and in a principal amount equal to an amount of at least $1 million and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be at the arithmetic mean of the quotations provided; provided, however, that if none of the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described in the immediately preceding sentence, the interest rate will be the interest rate on the Notes in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

“Telerate Page 3750” means the display page designated as page 3750 on the Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) or such other page as may replace page 3750 on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates.

The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York, as the same may be modified by the laws of the United States of general application.

At the request of the holder hereof, the Trustee will provide to such holder the interest rate then in effect for this Note, if available, and, if different, the interest rate to be in effect as a result of a determination made on the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to this Note, and the Interest Period related to an Interest Reset Date specified in the holder’s request, the amount of interest to accrue for the Interest Period to commence on such Interest Reset Date and the Interest Payment Date related to such Interest Reset Date, as soon as such information is available to the Trustee.

Interest payments hereon will include the amount of interest accrued from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid to but excluding the applicable Interest Payment Date.

Unless otherwise specified herein, all percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 6.526545% (or .06526545) will be rounded upward to 6.52655% (or .0652655)), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward).

3. Ranking. The Notes shall constitute the senior, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company and shall rank equally in right of payment among themselves and with all other existing and future senior, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Company.

4. Payment of Overdue Amounts. The Company shall pay interest, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant interest period and a 360-day year, on overdue principal and overdue installments of interest, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful.

5. Payment of Additional Amounts; Redemption Upon a Tax Event.

(a) Payment of Additional Amounts. The Company shall pay to the holder (including, for purposes of this Section 5, the beneficial owner) of this Note who is a Non-U.S. Person (as defined below) such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment of principal of and interest on this Note to such holder, after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon such holder by the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, will not be less than the amount provided in this Note to be then due and payable (such amounts, the “Additional Amounts”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts for or on account of:

(i) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for (A) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder, or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such holder, if such holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, and the United States including, without limitation, such holder, or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor, being or having been a citizen or resident of the United States of America or treated as a resident thereof or being or having been engaged in trade or business or present in the United States of America, or (B) the presentation of this Note for payment on a date more than 30 days after the later of (x) the date on which such payment becomes due and payable and (y) the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for;

(iv) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of principal of or interest on this Note;

(v) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment of principal of or interest on this Note if such payment can be made without withholding by any other paying agent;

(vi) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of the holder of this Note, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States Treasury Department as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge;

4

(vii) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on interest received by (A) a 10% shareholder (as defined in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations that may be promulgated thereunder) of the Company or (B) a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Code;

(ix) any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) in this Section 5(a);

nor shall any Additional Amounts be paid to any holder who is a fiduciary or partnership to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner thereof, would not have been entitled to the payment of such Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder.

(b) Redemption Upon a Tax Event. The Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company in whole, but not in part, on a date (such date, the “Tax Redemption Date”) to be fixed by the Company on not more than 60 days’ and not less than 30 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (the “Redemption Price”) plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and any Additional Amounts thereon, if the Company determines that as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws, treaties, regulations or rulings of the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, or any proposed change in such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings, or any change in the official application, enforcement or interpretation of such laws, treaties, regulations or rulings, including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America, or any other action, other than an action predicated on laws generally known on or before September 21, 2005 except for proposals before the U.S. Congress before such date, taken by any taxing authority or a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America, or the official proposal of any such action, whether or not such action or proposal was taken or made with respect to the Company, (A) the Company has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts or (B) there is a substantial possibility that the Company will be required to pay such Additional Amounts.

The notice of redemption, shall specify the following:

(i) the Tax Redemption Date;

(ii) a brief statement to the effect that the Notes are being redeemed at the option of the Company pursuant to this Section 5(b) and a brief statement of the facts permitting such redemption;

On or before the opening of business on any Tax Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.03 of the Indenture, an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and except if the Tax Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, accrued but unpaid interest on, the Notes to be redeemed on the Tax Redemption Date.

The notice of redemption having been given as specified above, the Notes shall, on the Tax Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price, and from and after such date, unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, the Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of the Notes for redemption in accordance with such notice, the Notes shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the Tax Redemption Date.

The Company shall pay principal of and interest on the Notes at the office or agency of the Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, the Company may pay interest by check mailed to the person entitled thereto at such person’s address as it appears on the Registry for the Notes.

9. Amendment and Modification. Article Nine of the Indenture contains provisions for the amendment or modification of the Indenture and the Notes without the consent of the holders in certain circumstances and requiring the consent of holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and Securities of other series that would be affected in certain other circumstances. However, the Indenture requires the consent of each holder of the Notes and Securities of other series that would be affected for certain specified amendments or modifications of the Indenture and the Notes. These provisions of the Indenture, which provide for, among other things, the execution of supplemental indentures, are applicable to the Notes.

10. Event of Default; Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, then the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series may be declared by either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this series then Outstanding to be, and, in certain cases, may automatically become, immediately due and payable in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that, in the event of such an acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all of the Notes of this series then Outstanding, voting as a separate class, in accordance with the provisions of, and in the circumstances provided by, the Indenture, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences with respect to all of the Notes.

12. Form and Denominations; Global Notes; Definitive Notes. The Notes are being issued in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Notes shall be

7

issued in certificated form (each, a “Definitive Note”) only in the following limited circumstances: (1) the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under applicable law, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility; (2) the Company delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that this Note shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes; or (3) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, in each such case this Note shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes in an equal aggregate principal amount. Such Definitive Notes shall be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.

13. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Notes and the transfer and exchange of the Notes, whether in global or definitive form. At the option of the holders, at any office or agency designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose (the “Transfer Agent”) 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 transfer tax or other governmental charges imposed in connection therewith subject to Section 5 hereof, the Notes may be transferred or exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of the Notes of like tenor and of other authorized denominations upon surrender and cancellation of the Notes upon any such transfer.

All such payments made to or upon the order of such holder shall, to the extent of the amount or amounts paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for moneys payable on this Note.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 13, any registration of transfer or exchange of a Global Note shall be subject to the terms of the legend appearing on the initial page thereof.

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company arising under or set forth in the Notes or under the Indenture, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, 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, any and all such personal liability, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

In all such examinations, we have assumed the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic and complete originals of all documents submitted to us as photostatic, conformed, notarized or certified copies.

As to facts material to our opinion, we have made no independent investigation of such facts and have relied, to the extent that we deem such reliance proper, upon certificates of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Company.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that, upon the execution and delivery of the Notes and their authentication in accordance with the terms of the Indenture against payment therefor in accordance with the Agreement, the Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

The foregoing opinion is qualified to the extent that the enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or any related document or instrument may be limited by or subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, liquidation, rearrangement, probate, conservatorship, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws (including court decisions) now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally or providing for the relief of debtors, general principles of equity (regardless of whether such remedies are sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) or public policy and (ii) the refusal of a particular court to grant (a) equitable remedies, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, specific performance and injunctive relief, or (b) a particular remedy sought under the Indenture with respect to the Notes or under the Notes as opposed to another remedy provided for therein or another remedy available at law or in equity. We note that the enforceability of specific provisions of the Indenture and the Notes may be subject to (i) standards of reasonableness and “good faith” limitations and obligations such as those provided in the New York Uniform Commercial Code and similar applicable principles of common law and judicial decisions and (ii) the course of dealings between the parties, the usage of trade and similar provisions of common law and judicial decision.

We express no opinion concerning (i) the validity or enforceability of (a) the severability clauses in Section 1.11 of the Indenture and Section 17 of the Notes or (b) any provision contained in the Indenture or the Notes that purports to waive or not give effect to rights to notice, defenses, subrogation or other rights or benefits that cannot be effectively waived under applicable law, (ii) the enforceability of indemnification provisions to the extent they purport to relate to liabilities resulting from or based on negligence or any violation of any federal or state securities laws or (iii) the enforceability of any provision in the Indenture or the Notes that purports to waive liability for violation of securities laws. With respect to Section 8.07(i) of the Indenture, we express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of the parenthetical clause thereof relating to the limitations on the compensation of trustees.
