Morgan Securities Inc. 60 Wall Street New York, NY 10260 Ladies and Gentlemen: Honeywell Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell from time to time its Medium-Term Notes, Series A (the "Securities"), in an aggregate initial offering price of up to $500,000,000 and agrees with each of you (individually, an "Agent", and collectively, the "Agents") as set forth in this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and to the reservation by the Company of the right to sell Securities directly on its own behalf, the Company hereby (i) appoints each Agent as an agent of the Company for the purpose of soliciting and receiving offers to purchase Securities from the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof and (ii) agrees that, except as otherwise contemplated herein, whenever it determines to sell Securities directly to any Agent as principal, it will enter into a separate agreement (each a "Terms Agreement"), substantially in the form of Annex I hereto, relating to such sale in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof. This Distribution Agreement shall not be construed to create either an obligation on the part of the Company to sell any Securities or an obligation of any of the Agents to purchase Securities as principal. The Company may accept offers to purchase Securities through an agent other than an Agent, PROVIDED that (i) the Company and such agent shall have executed an agreement with respect to such purchases having terms and conditions (including, without limitation, commission rates) with respect to such purchases that are the same as the terms and conditions that would apply to such purchases under this Agreement if such agent were an Agent (which may be accomplished by incorporating by reference in such agreement the terms and conditions of this Agreement), and (ii) the Company shall notify the Agents prior to the execution of any such agreement and shall provide the Agents with a copy of such agreement promptly following the execution thereof. The Securities will be issued under an indenture, dated as of August 1, 1994 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association), as Trustee (the "Trustee"). The Securities shall have the maturity ranges, interest rates, if any, redemption provisions and other terms set forth in the Prospectus referred to below as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time. The Securities will be issued, and the terms and rights thereof established, from time to time by the Company in accordance with the Indenture. 1. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Agent that: (a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 33-62300) in respect of the Securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"); such registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, each in the form heretofore delivered or to be delivered to such Agent, excluding exhibits to such registration statement, but including all documents incorporated by reference in the prospectus included therein, have been declared effective by the Commission in such form; no other document with respect to such registration statement or document incorporated by reference therein has heretofore been filed or transmitted for filing with the Commission (other than the prospectuses filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), each in the form heretofore delivered to the Agents); and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission (any preliminary prospectus included in such registration statement or filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act are hereinafter called a "Preliminary Prospectus"; the various parts of such registration statement, including all exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference in the prospectus contained in the registration statement at the time such part of the registration statement became effective but excluding Form T-1, each as amended at the time such part of the registration statement became effective, is hereinafter collectively called the "Registration Statement"; the prospectus (including, if applicable, any prospectus supplement) relating to the Securities, in the form in which it has most recently been filed, or transmitted for filing, with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter called the "Prospectus"; any reference herein to any 2 Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to the applicable form under the Act, as of the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be; any reference to any amendment or supplement to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, including any supplement to the Prospectus that sets forth only the terms of a particular issue of the Securities (a "Pricing Supplement"), shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and incorporated therein by reference; any reference to any amendment to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to refer to and include any annual report of the Company filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Registration Statement that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; and any reference to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented shall be deemed to refer to and include the Prospectus as amended or supplemented (including any applicable Pricing Supplement filed in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof) in relation to Securities to be sold pursuant to this Agreement, in the form filed or transmitted for filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act and in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof, including any documents incorporated by reference therein as of the date of such filing). (b) (i) Each document, if any, filed or to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus complied or will comply when so filed in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (ii) each part of the Registration Statement, when such part became effective, did not contain, and each such part, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus comply, and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will comply in all material respects with the Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and (iv) the Prospectus does not contain and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that (1) the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 1(b) do not apply to statements or omissions in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus based upon information relating to an Agent furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent expressly for use therein. (c) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the corporate power and authority to own its property and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus.

(e) Each of this Agreement and any applicable Terms Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. (f) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act") and has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability. (g) The Securities have been duly authorized and, when executed, authenticated and issued in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the purchasers thereof, will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rights of acceleration and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability. (h) The execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement, the Securities, the Indenture and any applicable Terms Agreement will not contravene any provision of applicable law or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is material to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary, and no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency is required for the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the Securities, the Indenture and any applicable Terms Agreement, except such as may be required by the Act, the Trust Indenture Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all of which have been obtained, or such as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities. (i) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus; and, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there has not been any material adverse change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any material adverse change, or any development which the Company has reasonable cause to believe will involve a prospective material 4 adverse change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders' equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus; and there has not occurred any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Prospectus. (j) There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and are not so described or any material contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are not described, filed or incorporated as required. (k) Immediately after any sale of Securities by the Company hereunder or under any Terms Agreement, the aggregate amount of Securities which shall have been issued and sold by the Company hereunder or under any Terms Agreement and of any debt securities of the Company (other than such Securities) that shall have been issued and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement will not exceed the amount of debt securities registered under the Registration Statement. (l) The accountants who certified the financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Act and the regulations thereunder. 2. (a) On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each of the Agents hereby severally and not jointly agrees, as agent of the Company, to use its reasonable efforts to solicit and receive offers to purchase the Securities from the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented from time to time. So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to any Agent, the Company shall not, without the consent of such Agent, solicit or accept offers to purchase, or sell, any debt securities with a maturity at the time of original issuance of 9 months to 30 years except pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the third paragraph of this Agreement, any Terms Agreement or except pursuant to an offering of commercial paper under Section 3(a)(3) of the Act or a private placement not constituting a public offering under the Act or except in connection with a firm commitment underwriting pursuant to an underwriting agreement that does not provide for a continuous offering of medium-term debt securities. However, the Company reserves the right to sell, and may solicit and accept offers to purchase, Securities directly on its own behalf in transactions with persons other than broker-dealers, and, in the case of any such sale not resulting from a solicitation made by any Agent, no commission will be payable with respect to such sale. These provisions shall not limit Section 4(f) hereof or any similar provision included in any Terms Agreement. 5 Procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Securities, the solicitation of offers to purchase Securities and the payment in each case therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedure attached hereto as Annex II as it may be amended from time to time by written agreement between the Agents and the Company (the "Administrative Procedure"). The provisions of the Administrative Procedure shall apply to Book-Entry Securities Procedure only. The procedures for the issuance of Certificated Securities will be agreed among the Company, the Agents and the Trustee prior to the issuance of any such Certificated Notes. Each Agent and the Company agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed by each of them in the Administrative Procedure. The Company will furnish to the Trustee a copy of the Administrative Procedure as from time to time in effect. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to instruct the Agents to suspend at any time, for any period of time or permanently, the solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities. As soon as practicable, but in any event not later than one business day in New York City, after receipt of notice from the Company, the Agents will suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Securities from the Company until such time as the Company has advised the Agents that such solicitation may be resumed. During such period, the Company shall not be required to comply with the provisions of Sections 4(h), 4(i), 4(j) and 4(k). Upon advising the Agents that such solicitation may be resumed, however, the Company shall simultaneously provide the documents required to be delivered by Sections 4(h), 4(i), 4(j) and 4(k), and the Agents shall have no obligation to solicit offers to purchase the Securities until such documents have been received by the Agents. In addition, any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations hereunder, including without limitation its obligations to deliver the documents required by Sections 4(h), 4(i), 4(j) and 4(k), shall automatically terminate the Agents' obligations hereunder, including without limitation their obligations to solicit offers to purchase the Securities hereunder as agent or to purchase Securities hereunder as principal. The Company agrees to pay each Agent a commission, at the time of settlement of any sale of a Security by the Company as a result of a solicitation made by such Agent, in an amount equal to the following applicable percentage of the principal amount of such Security sold: Commission (percentage of aggregate principal amount Range of Maturities of Securities sold) ------------------- ------------------- From 9 months to less than 1 year .125% From 1 year to less than 18 months .150% From 18 months to less than 2 years .200% From 2 years to less than 3 years .250% From 3 years to less than 4 years .350% 6 From 4 years to less than 5 years .450% From 5 years to less than 6 years .500% From 6 years to less than 7 years .550% From 7 years to less than 10 years .600% From 10 years to less than 15 years .625% From 15 years to less than 20 years .675% From 20 years to 30 years .750% (b) Each sale of Securities to any Agent as principal shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (unless the Company and such Agent shall otherwise agree) a Terms Agreement which will provide for the sale of such Securities to, and the purchase thereof by, such Agent; a Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Securities by such Agent; the commitment of any Agent to purchase Securities as principal, whether pursuant to any Terms Agreement or otherwise, shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth; each Terms Agreement shall specify the principal amount of Securities to be purchased by any Agent pursuant thereto, the price to be paid to the Company for such Securities, any provisions relating to rights of, and default by, underwriters acting together with such Agent in the reoffering of the Securities and the time and date and place of delivery of and payment for such Securities; and such Terms Agreement shall also specify any requirements for opinions of counsel, accountants' letters and officers' certificates pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Each Agent proposes to offer Securities purchased by it as principal for sale at prevailing market prices or prices related thereto at the time of sale, which may be equal to, greater than or less than the price at which such Securities are purchased by such Agent from the Company. For each sale of Securities to an Agent as principal that is not made pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of such Securities and payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedure. For each such sale of Securities to an Agent as principal that is not made pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the Company agrees to pay such Agent a commission (or grant an equivalent discount) as provided in Section 2(a) hereof and in accordance with the schedule set forth therein. Each time and date of delivery of and payment for Securities to be purchased by an Agent as principal, whether set forth in a Terms Agreement or in accordance with the Administrative Procedure, is referred to herein as a "Time of Delivery". 3. The documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6 hereof on the Commencement Date (as defined below) shall be delivered to the Agents at the offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell, New York, New York, at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of this Agreement, which date and time of such delivery may be postponed by agreement between the Agents and the Company but in no event shall be later than the day prior to the date on which solicitation of offers to purchase Securities is commenced or on which any 7 Terms Agreement is executed (such time and date being referred to herein as the "Commencement Date"). 4. The Company covenants and agrees with each Agent: (a) (i) To make no amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (A) prior to the Commencement Date which shall be disapproved by any Agent promptly after reasonable notice thereof or (B) after the date of any Terms Agreement or other agreement by an Agent to purchase Securities as principal and prior to the related Time of Delivery which shall be disapproved by any Agent party to such Terms Agreement or so purchasing as principal promptly after reasonable notice thereof; (ii) to prepare, with respect to any Securities to be sold through or to such Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Pricing Supplement with respect to such Securities in a form previously approved by such Agent and to file such Pricing Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Act not later than the close of business of the Commission on the fifth business day after the date on which such Pricing Supplement is first used; (iii) to make no amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, other than any Pricing Supplement, at any time prior to having afforded each Agent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon; (iv) to file promptly all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for so long as the delivery of a prospectus is required in connection with the offering or sale of the Securities, and during such same period to advise such Agent, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or has become effective or any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus (other than any Pricing Supplement that relates to Securities not purchased through or by such Agent) has been filed with the Commission, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any prospectus relating to the Securities, of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; and (v) in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or of any such order preventing or suspending the use of any such prospectus or suspending any such qualification, to use promptly its best efforts to obtain its withdrawal; (b) Promptly from time to time to take such action as such Agent may reasonably request to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as such Agent may request and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales and dealings therein for as long as may be necessary to complete the distribution or sale of the Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in connection therewith the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction; 8 (c) To furnish such Agent with copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, with copies of the Prospectus as each time amended or supplemented, other than any Pricing Supplement (except as provided in the Administrative Procedure), in the form in which it is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, and with copies of the documents incorporated by reference therein, all in such quantities as such Agent may reasonably request from time to time; and, if the delivery of a prospectus is required at any time in connection with the offering or sale of the Securities (including Securities purchased from the Company by such Agent as principal) and if at such time any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such Prospectus is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus in order to comply with the Act, the Exchange Act or the Trust Indenture Act, to notify such Agent and request such Agent, in its capacity as agent of the Company, to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Securities from the Company (and, if so notified, such Agent shall cease such solicitations as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than one business day later); and if the Company shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented, to so advise such Agent promptly by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and to prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if during such same period such Agent continues to own Securities purchased from the Company by such Agent as principal or such Agent is otherwise required to deliver a prospectus in respect of transactions in the Securities, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission such an amendment or supplement; (d) To make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than eighteen months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Act), an earnings statement of the Company and its subsidiaries (which need not be audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158); (e) So long as any Securities are outstanding, to furnish to such Agent copies of all reports or other communications (financial or other) furnished to stockholders, and deliver to such Agent (i) as soon as they are available, copies of any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the Commission or any national securities exchange on which any class of securities of the Company is listed; and (ii) such additional information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company as such Agent may from time to time reasonably request (such financial statements to be on a consolidated basis to the extent the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries are consolidated in reports furnished to its stockholders generally or to the Commission); 9 (f) That, from the date of any Terms Agreement with such Agent or other agreement by such Agent to purchase Securities as principal and continuing to and including the later of (i) the termination of the trading restrictions for the Securities purchased thereunder, as notified to the Company by such Agent and (ii) the related Time of Delivery, not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company which both mature more than 9 months after such Time of Delivery and are substantially similar to the Securities that are the subject of such Terms Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Agent; (g) That each acceptance by the Company of an offer to purchase Securities hereunder (including any purchase by such Agent as principal not pursuant to a Terms Agreement), and each execution and delivery by the Company of a Terms Agreement with such Agent, shall be deemed to be an affirmation to such Agent that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement are true and correct as of the date of such acceptance or of such Terms Agreement, as the case may be, as though made at and as of such date, and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct as of the settlement date for the Securities relating to such acceptance or as of the Time of Delivery relating to such sale, as the case may be, as though made at and as of such date (except that such representations and warranties shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented relating to such Securities);

(vii) The statements (1) in the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, under the captions "Description of Debt Securities", "Description of Notes", "Plan of Distribution", "Supplemental Plan of Distribution" and "United States Taxation", (2) in "Item 3 - Legal Proceedings" of the Company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K incorporated by reference in the Prospectus and (3) in "Item 1 - Legal Proceedings" of Part II of the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, if any, filed since such annual report, in each case insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the legal matters, documents or proceedings referred to therein, fairly present the information called for with respect to such legal matters, documents and proceedings and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein; (viii) After due inquiry, such counsel does not know of any legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, and are not so described or of any material contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement and are not described or filed as required; (ix) (1) each document, if any, filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented (except for financial statements, related schedules and other financial data included therein, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion), complied when so filed as to form in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and (2) the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, and the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as of its date, (except for financial statements, related schedules and other financial data included therein, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion), complied as to form in all material respects with the Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; 15 (x) Nothing has come to such counsel's attention that causes such counsel to believe that (other than the financial statements, related schedules and other financial data included therein, as to which such counsel need make no statement) (1) the Registration Statement and Prospectus, at the time the Registration Statement became effective, or if an amendment to the Registration Statement or to any document incorporated by reference therein has been filed by the Company with the Commission subsequent to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, then at the time of the most recent such filing, and at the date of this Agreement, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented at the date of delivery of such opinion, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (e) Not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Commencement Date and on each applicable date referred to in Section 4(j) hereof that is on or prior to such Solicitation Time or Time of Delivery, as the case may be, the independent certified public accountants who have certified the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall have furnished to such Agent a letter, dated the Commencement Date or such applicable date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to such Agent, to the effect set forth in Annex III hereto; (f) (i) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented prior to the date of the Pricing Supplement relating to the Securities to be delivered at the relevant Time of Delivery any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented prior to the date of the Pricing Supplement relating to the Securities to be delivered at the relevant Time of Delivery and (ii) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented prior to the date of the Pricing Supplement relating to the Securities to be delivered at the relevant Time of Delivery there shall not have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any change, or any development reasonably expected to involve a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders' equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented prior to the date of the Pricing Supplement relating to the Securities to be delivered at the relevant Time of Delivery, the effect of which, in any such case described in Clause (i) or (ii), is in the judgment of such Agent so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the solicitation by such Agent of offers to purchase Securities from the Company or the purchase by such 16 Agent of Securities from the Company as principal, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented prior to the date of the Pricing Supplement relating to the Securities to be delivered at the relevant Time of Delivery; (g) On or after the date hereof (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating accorded the Company's debt securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization", as that term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, and (ii) no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company's debt securities;

(iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York declared by either Federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, if the effect of any such event specified in the Clause (iv) in the judgment of such Agent makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the solicitation of offers to purchase Securities or the purchase of the Securities from the Company as principal pursuant to the applicable Terms Agreement or otherwise, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus; (i) With respect to any Security denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, more than one currency or a composite currency or any Security the principal or interest of which is indexed to such currency, currencies or composite currency, there shall not have occurred a suspension or material limitation in foreign exchange trading in such currency, currencies or composite currency by a major international bank, a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in the country or countries issuing such currency, currencies or composite currency, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving, the occurrence of any material adverse change in the existing financial, political or economic conditions of, or the declaration of war or a national emergency by, the country or countries issuing such currency, currencies or composite currency or the imposition or proposal of exchange controls by any governmental authority in the country or countries issuing such currency, currencies or composite currency; and (j) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to such Agent certificates of officers of the Company dated the Commencement Date and each applicable date referred to in Section 4(k) hereof that is on or prior to such Solicitation Time or Time of Delivery, as the case may be, in such form and executed by such officers of the Company as shall be satisfactory to such Agent, as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein at and as of the Commencement Date or such applicable date, as the case may be, as to the performance by the Company of all of its obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to the Commencement Date or such applicable date, as the case may be, as to 17 the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (f) of this Section 6, and as to such other matters as such Agent may reasonably request. 7. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Agent against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Agent may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented or any other prospectus relating to the Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such Agent for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented or any other prospectus relating to the Securities, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Agent expressly for use therein. (b) Each Agent will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented or any other prospectus relating to the Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented or any other prospectus relating to the Securities, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Agent expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In 18 case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Agent on the other from the offering of the Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and each Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total commissions or discounts received by such Agent in respect thereof. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or by any Agent on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and each Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were 19 determined by PER CAPITA allocation (even if all Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), an Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total public offering price at which the Securities purchased by or through it were sold exceeds the amount of any damages which such Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of each of the Agents under this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to the respective purchases made by or through it to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates and are not joint. (e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Agent within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of each Agent under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which such Agent may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act. 8. Each Agent, in soliciting offers to purchase Securities from the Company and in performing the other obligations of such Agent hereunder (other than in respect of any purchase by an Agent as principal, pursuant to a Terms Agreement or otherwise), is acting solely as agent for the Company and not as principal. Each Agent will make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Securities from the Company was solicited by such Agent and has been accepted by the Company, but such Agent shall not have any liability to the Company in the event such purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the Company shall default on its obligation to deliver Securities to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall (i) hold each Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or as a result of such default by the Company and (ii) notwithstanding such default, pay to the Agent that solicited such offer any commission to which it would be entitled in connection with such sale. 9. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements by any Agent and the Company set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Agent or any controlling person of any Agent, or the Company, or any officer or director or any controlling person of the Company, and shall survive each delivery of and payment for any of the Securities. 20 10. The provisions of this Agreement relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase Securities from the Company may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Company as to any Agent or by any Agent as to such Agent upon the giving of written notice of such suspension or termination to such Agent or the Company, as the case may be. In the event of such suspension or termination with respect to any Agent, (x) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any Agent as to which such suspension or termination has not occurred, (y) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the rights and obligations of any party which have previously accrued or which relate to Securities which are already issued, agreed to be issued or the subject of a pending offer at the time of such suspension or termination and (z) in any event, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect insofar as the fourth paragraph of Section 2(a), and Sections 4(d), 4(e), 5, 7, 8 and 9 hereof are concerned. 11. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Administrative Procedure, all hereunder shall be in writing, or by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing, if to Goldman, Sachs & Co. shall be sufficient in all respects when delivered or sent by facsimile transmission or registered mail to 85 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004, Facsimile Transmission No. (212) 363-7609, Attention: Credit Department; if to Chase Securities, Inc. shall be sufficient in all respects when delivered or sent by facsimile transmission or registered mail to One Chase Manhattan Plaza - 35, New York, New York 10005, Facsimile Transmission No. (212) 552-1594, Attention: Peter Todd; if to Dillon, Read & Co.

This Agreement and any Terms Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, each Agent and the Company, and to the extent provided in Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and any person who controls any Agent or the Company, and their respective personal representatives, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement or any Terms Agreement.

U.S. ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE This Administrative Procedure relates to the Securities defined in the U.S. Distribution Agreement, dated August 4, 1994 (the "Distribution Agreement"), between Honeywell Inc. (the "Company") and Goldman, Sachs & Co.,Chase Securities, Inc., Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (together, the "Agents"), to which this Administrative Procedure is attached as Annex II. Defined terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Distribution Agreement, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented or the Indenture. The procedures to be followed with respect to the settlement of sales of Securities directly by the Company to purchasers solicited by an Agent, as agent, are set forth below. The terms and settlement details related to a purchase of Securities by an Agent, as principal, from the Company will be set forth in a Terms Agreement pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, unless the Company and such Agent otherwise agree as provided in Section 2(b) of the Distribution Agreement, in which case the procedures to be followed in respect of the settlement of such sale will be as set forth below. An Agent, in relation to a purchase of a Security by a purchaser solicited by such Agent, is referred to herein as the "Selling Agent" and, in relation to a purchase of a Security by such Agent as principal other than pursuant to a Terms Agreement, as the "Purchasing Agent". The Company will advise each Agent in writing of those persons with whom such Agent is to communicate regarding offers to purchase Securities and the related settlement details. Each Security will be issued only in fully registered form and will be represented by either a global security (a "Global Security") delivered to the Trustee, as agent for The Depository Trust Company (the "Depositary") and recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary (a "Book-Entry Security") or a certificate issued in definitive form (a "Certificated Security") delivered to a person designated by an Agent, as set forth in the applicable Pricing Supplement. An owner of a Book-Entry Security will not be entitled to receive a certificate representing such a Security, except as provided in the Indenture. Book-Entry Securities Procedure are set forth below. The procedures for the issuance of Certificated Securities will be agreed among the Company, the Agents and the Trustee prior to the issuance of any such Certificated Notes. ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE FOR BOOK-ENTRY SECURITIES In connection with the qualification of the Book-Entry Securities for eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary, the Trustee will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described below, in accordance with its respective obligations under a Letter of Representation from the Company and the Trustee to the Depositary, dated the date hereof, and a Medium-Term Note Certificate Agreement between the Trustee and the Depositary, dated as of March 10, 1989, (the "Certificate Agreement"), and its obligations as a participant in the Depositary, including the Depositary's Same-Day Funds Settlement System ("SDFS"). II-1 Posting Rates by the Company: The Company and the Agents will discuss from time to time the rates of interest per annum to be borne by and the maturity of Book-Entry Securities that may be sold as a result of the solicitation of offers by an Agent. The Company may establish a fixed set of interest rates and maturities for an offering period ("posting"). If the Company decides to change already posted rates, it will promptly advise the Agents to suspend solicitation of offers until the new posted rates have been established with the Agents. Acceptance of Offers by the Company: Each Agent will promptly advise the Company by telephone or other appropriate means of all reasonable offers to purchase Book-Entry Securities, other than those rejected by such Agent. Each Agent may, in its discretion reasonably exercised, reject any offer received by it in whole or in part. Each Agent also may make offers to the Company to purchase Book-Entry Securities as a Purchasing Agent. The Company will have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Book-Entry Securities and may reject any such offer in whole or in part. The Company will promptly notify the Selling Agent or Purchasing Agent, as the case may be, of its acceptance or rejection of an offer to purchase Book-Entry Securities. If the Company accepts an offer to purchase Book-Entry Securities, it will confirm such acceptance in writing to the Selling Agent or Purchasing Agent, as the case may be, and the Trustee. Interest: Interest on Book-Entry Securities will accrue and will be paid at the times and in the manner consistent with the descriptions thereof in the Company's Prospectus Supplement dated August 4, 1994 to the Prospectus dated August 4, 1994 (the "Prospectus") and the applicable Pricing Supplement thereto. Exchanges: The Trustee, at the Company's request, may deliver to DTC and the CUSIP Service Bureau at any time a written notice of consolidation specifying (a) the CUSIP numbers of two or more Global Securities outstanding on such date that represent (i) Fixed-Rate Book-Entry Notes having the same terms (other than Settlement Dates) or (ii) Floating Rate Book-Entry Securities having the same terms (other than Settlement Dates); (b) a date, at least 30 days after such written notice is delivered and at least 30 days before the next Interest Payment Date for the related Book-Entry Notes, on which such Global Security shall be exchanged for a single replacement Global Security; and (c) a new CUSIP number to be assigned to such replacement Global Security. Upon receipt of such a notice, DTC will send to its participants (including the Trustee) a written reorganization notice to the effect that such exchange will occur on such date. Prior to the specified exchange date, the Trustee will deliver to the CUSIP Service Bureau written notice setting forth such exchange date and the new CUSIP number and stating that, as of such exchange date, the CUSIP numbers of the Global Securities to be exchanged will no longer be valid. On the specified exchange date, the Trustee will exchange such Global Securities and the old CUSIP numbers for a single Global Security bearing the new CUSIP number. The CUSIP numbers of the exchanged Global Securities will, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures be canceled and not immediately reassigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Global Securities to be exchanged exceed $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, one replacement Security will be authenticated and issued to represent each $150,000,000 of principal amount of the exchanged Global Securities and an additional Global Note will be authenticated and issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such Global Securities. II-2 Manner of Payment: The total amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest due on a Global Security on any Interest Payment Date or at maturity or upon redemption or repayment shall be paid by the Company to the Trustee in funds available for use by the Trustee on such date. The Company will make payment on such Global Security by depositing funds sufficient to make such payment with the Trustee. The Company will confirm such instructions in writing to the Trustee. For payments of principal and any premium at maturity or upon redemption or repayment prior to 10 a.m. (New York City time) on such date or as soon as possible thereafter, the Trustee will pay the Depositary by separate wire transfer (using Fedwire message entry instructions in a form previously specified by the Depositary) to an account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York previously specified by the Depositary, in funds available for immediate use by the Depositary, each payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal (together with interest thereon) due on a Global Security on such date. For payments of interest, the Trustee will pay the Depositary such payments in same-day funds on each Interest Payment Date in accordance with existing arrangements between the Trustee and the Depository. Thereafter for all payments on such date, the Depositary will pay, in accordance with SDFS operating procedures then in effect, such amounts in funds available for immediate use to the respective participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in principal amount of beneficial interest in such Global Security as are recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any direct responsibility or liability for the payment by the Depositary of any principal, premium or interest on Book-Entry Securities to such participants.

After the acceptance of an offer by the Company, the Selling Agent or Purchasing Agent, as the case may be, will communicate promptly, but in no event later than the time set forth under "Settlement Procedure Timetable" below, the following details of the terms of such offer (the "Sale Information") to the Company by telephone (confirmed in writing) or by facsimile transmission or other acceptable written means: (1) Principal Amount of Book-Entry Securities to be purchased; (2) If a Fixed Rate Book-Entry Security, the interest rate and initial interest payment date; (3) Trade Date; (4) Settlement Date (Original Issue Date); (5) Maturity Date; (6) Specified Currency and, if the Specified Currency is other than U.S. dollars, the applicable Exchange Rate for such Specified Currency (it being understood that currently the Depositary accepts deposits of Global Securities denominated in U.S. dollars only); (7) Indexed Currency, the Base Rate and the Exchange Rate Determination Date, if applicable; (8) Issue Price; (9) Selling Agent's commission or Purchasing Agent's discount, as the case may be; II-3 (10) Net Proceeds to the Company; (11) If a redeemable Book-Entry Security, such of the following as are applicable: (i) Redemption Commencement Date or Repayment Date; (ii) Initial Redemption Price (% of par), and (iii) Amount (% of par) that the Redemption Price shall decline (but not below par) on each anniversary of the Redemption Commencement Date; (12) If a Floating Rate Book-Entry Security, such of the following as are applicable: (i) Interest Rate Basis, (ii) Index Maturity, (iii) Spread or Spread Multiplier, (iv) Maximum Rate, (v) Minimum Rate, (vi) Initial Interest Rate, (vii) Interest Reset Dates, (viii) Calculation Dates, (ix) Interest Determination Dates, (x) Interest Payment Dates, (xi) Regular Record Dates, and (xii) Calculation Agent; and (13) Name, address and taxpayer identification number of the registered owner(s); (14) Denomination of certificates to be delivered at settlement; (15) Book-Entry Security or Certificated Security; and (16) Selling Agent or Purchasing Agent. B. After receiving the Sale Information from the Selling Agent or Purchasing Agent, as the case may be, the Company will communicate such Sale Information to the Trustee by facsimile transmission or other acceptable written means. The Trustee will assign a CUSIP number to the Global Security from a list of CUSIP numbers previously delivered to the Trustee by the Company representing such Book-Entry Security and then advise the Company and the Selling Agent or Purchasing Agent, as the case may be, of such CUSIP number. C. The Trustee will enter a pending deposit message through the Depositary's Participant Terminal System, providing the following settlement information to the Depositary, and the Depositary shall forward such information to such Agent and Standard & Poor's Corporation: (1) The applicable Sale Information; (2) CUSIP number of the Global Security representing such Book-Entry Security; (3) Whether such Global Security will represent any other Book-Entry Security (to the extent known at such time); (4) Number of the participant account maintained by the Depositary on behalf of the Selling Agent or Purchasing Agent, as the case may be; (5) The interest payment period; and II-4 (6) Initial Interest Payment Date for such Book-Entry Security, number of days by which such date succeeds the related record date for the Depositary's purposes (which in the case of Floating Rate Securities which reset daily or weekly shall be the date five calendar days immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date and in the case of all other Book-Entry Securities shall be the Regular Record Date, as defined in the Security) and, if calculable at that time, the amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. D. The Trustee will complete and authenticate the Global Security previously delivered by the Company representing such Book-Entry Security. E. The Depositary will credit such Book-Entry Security to the Trustee's participant account at the Depositary. F. The Trustee will enter an SDFS deliver order through the Depositary's Participant Terminal System instructing the Depositary to (i) debit such Book-Entry Security to the Trustee's participant account and credit such Book-Entry Security to such Agent's participant account and (ii) debit such Agent's settlement account and credit the Trustee's settlement account for an amount equal to the price of such Book-Entry Security less such Agent's commission. The entry of such a deliver order shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Trustee to the Depositary that (a) the Global Security representing such Book-Entry Security has been issued and authenticated and (b) the Trustee is holding such Global Security pursuant to the Certificate Agreement. G. Such Agent will enter an SDFS deliver order through the Depositary's Participant Terminal System instructing the Depositary (i) to debit such Book-Entry Security to such Agent's participant account and credit such Book-Entry Security to the participant accounts of the Participants with respect to such Book-Entry Security and (ii) to debit the settlement accounts of such Participants and credit the settlement account of such Agent for an amount equal to the price of such Book-Entry Security.

Such Agent will confirm the purchase of such Book-Entry Security to the purchaser either by transmitting to the participants with respect to such Book-Entry Security a confirmation order or orders through the Depositary's institutional delivery system or by mailing a written confirmation to such purchaser. L. The Depositary will, at any time, upon request of the Company or the Trustee, promptly furnish to the Company or the Trustee a list of the names and addresses of the participants for whom the Depositary has credited Book-Entry Securities. II-5 Preparation of Pricing Supplement: If the Company accepts an offer to purchase a Book-Entry Security, it will prepare a Pricing Supplement reflecting the terms of such Book-Entry Security and arrange to have delivered to the Selling Agent or Purchasing Agent, as the case may be, at least ten copies of such Pricing Supplement, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the Trade Date (as defined below), or if the Company and the purchaser agree to settlement on the Business Day following the date of acceptance of such offer, not later than noon, New York City time, on such date. The Company will arrange to have ten Pricing Supplements filed with the Commission not later than the close of business of the Commission on the fifth Business Day following the date on which such Pricing Supplement is first used. Delivery of Confirmation and Prospectus to Purchaser by Selling Agent: The Selling Agent will deliver to the purchaser of a Book-Entry Security a written confirmation of the sale and delivery and payment instructions. In addition, the Selling Agent will deliver to such purchaser or its agent the Prospectus as amended or supplemented (including the Pricing Supplement) in relation to such Book-Entry Security prior to or together with the earlier of the delivery to such purchaser or its agent of (a) the confirmation of sale or (b) the Book-Entry Security. Date of Settlement: The receipt by the Company of immediately available funds in payment for a Book-Entry Security and the authentication and issuance of the Global Security representing such Book-Entry Security shall constitute "settlement" with respect to such Book-Entry Security. All orders of Book-Entry Securities solicited by a Selling Agent or made by a Purchasing Agent and accepted by the Company on a particular date (the "Trade Date") will be settled on a date (the "Settlement Date") which is the fifth Business Day after the Trade Date pursuant to the "Settlement Procedure Timetable" set forth below, unless the Company and the purchaser agree to settlement on another Business Day which shall be no earlier than the next Business Day after the Trade Date. Settlement Procedure Timetable: For orders of Book-Entry Securities solicited by a Selling Agent and accepted by the Company for settlement on the fifth Business Day after the Trade Date, Settlement Procedures "A" through "I" set forth above shall be completed as soon as possible but not later than the respective times (New York City time) set forth below: Settlement Procedure Time - - ---------- ---- A 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day following the Trade Date or 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the Settlement Date, whichever is earlier B 12:00 noon on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date C 2:00 p.m. on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date D 9:00 a.m. on the Settlement Date II-6 E 10:00 a.m. on the Settlement Date F-G 2:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date H 4:45 p.m. on the Settlement Date I 5:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date If the initial interest rate for a Floating Rate Book-Entry Security has not been determined at the time that Settlement Procedure "A" is completed, Settlement Procedures "B" and "C" shall be completed as soon as such rate has been determined but no later than 2:00 p.m. on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date. Settlement Procedure "H" is subject to extension in accordance with any extension of Fedwire closing deadlines and in the other events specified in the SDFS operating procedures in effect on the Settlement Date. If settlement of a Book-Entry Security is rescheduled or canceled, the Trustee, upon obtaining knowledge thereof, will deliver to the Depositary, through the Depositary's Participation Terminal System, a cancellation message to such effect by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the scheduled Settlement Date. Failure to Settle: If the Trustee fails to enter an SDFS deliver order with respect to a Book-Entry Security pursuant to Settlement Procedure "F", the Trustee may deliver to the Depositary, through the Depositary's Participant Terminal System, as soon as practicable a withdrawal message instructing the Depositary to debit such Book-Entry Security to the Trustee's participant account, provided that the Trustee's participant account contains a principal amount of the Global Security representing such Book-Entry Security that is at least equal to the principal amount to be debited. If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to all the Book-Entry Securities represented by a Global Security, the Trustee will mark such Global Security "canceled", make appropriate entries in the Trustee's records and send such canceled Global Security to the Company. The CUSIP number assigned to such Global Security shall, in accordance with CUSIP Service Bureau procedures, be canceled and not immediately reassigned. If a withdrawal message is processed with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Securities represented by a Global Security, the Trustee will exchange such Global Security for two Global Securities, one of which shall represent such Book-Entry Security or Securities and shall be canceled immediately after issuance and the other of which shall represent the remaining Book-Entry Securities previously represented by the surrendered Global Security and shall bear the CUSIP number of the surrendered Global Security. If the purchase price for any Book-Entry Security is not timely paid to the participants with respect to such Book-Entry Security by the beneficial purchaser thereof (or a person, including an indirect participant in the Depositary, acting on behalf of such purchaser), such participants and, in turn, the Agent for such Book-Entry Security may enter deliver orders through the Depositary's Participant Terminal System debiting such Book-Entry Security to such participant's account and crediting such Book-Entry Security to such Agent's account and then debiting such Book-Entry Security to such Agent's participant account and crediting such Book-Entry Security to the Trustee's participant account and shall notify the Company and the Trustee thereof. Thereafter, the Trustee will (i) immediately notify the Company of such order and the Company shall transfer to such Agent funds available for immediate use in an amount equal to the price of such Book-Entry Security which was credited to the account of the Company maintained at the Trustee in accordance with Settlement Procedure I, and (ii) deliver the withdrawal message and take the related actions described in the preceding paragraph. If such failure shall have occurred for any reason other than default by the applicable Agent to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Distribution Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Agent on an equitable basis for the loss of its use of funds during the period when the funds were credited to the account of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any failure to settle with respect to a Book-Entry Security, the Depositary may take any actions in accordance with its SDFS operating procedures then in effect. In the event of a failure to settle with respect to one or more, but not all, of the Book-Entry Securities to have been represented by a Global Security, the Trustee will provide, in accordance with Settlement Procedure "D", for the authentication and issuance of a Global Security representing the other Book-Entry Securities to have been represented by such Global Security and will make appropriate entries in its records. The Company will, from time to time, furnish the Trustee with a sufficient quantity of Securities.

With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, such Board Resolution and Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture may provide general terms or parameters for Securities of such series and provide either that the specific terms of particular Securities of such series shall be specified in a Company Order or that such terms shall be determined by the Company or its agents in accordance with other procedures specified in a Company Order as contemplated by the third paragraph of Section 303. -25- SECTION 302.

SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal affixed thereto or reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, or, in the case of Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing by the Company) acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order for establishing the specific terms of particular Securities being so offered, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or forms or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, -26- (a) that the form or forms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (b) that the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (c) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and to general equity principles; (d) that authentication and delivery of such Securities and the execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture, if any, by the Trustee will not violate the terms of the Indenture; (e) that the Company has the corporate power to issue such Securities, and has duly taken all necessary corporate action with respect to such issuance; and (f) that the issuance of such Securities will not contravene the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or result in any violation of any of the terms or provisions of any law or regulation or of any indenture, mortgage or other agreement known to such Counsel by which the Company is bound; provided, however, that, with respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive such Opinion of Counsel in connection only with the first authentication of each form of Securities of such series and that the opinions described in Clauses (b) and (c) above may state, respectively, that (b) if the terms of such Securities are to be established pursuant to a Company Order or pursuant to such procedures as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order, all as contemplated by a Board Resolution or action taken pursuant thereto, such terms will have been duly authorized by the Company and established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and -27- (c) that such Securities, when executed by the Company, completed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, and issued and delivered by the Company and paid for, all in accordance with any agreement of the Company relating to the offering, issuance and sale of such Securities, will be duly issued under this Indenture and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights and to general principles of equity. With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the form or forms and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel, Company Order and other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of a form of Securities of such series and it shall not be necessary for the Company to deliver such Opinion of Counsel and other documents (except as may be required by the specified other procedures, if any, referred to above) at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series unless and until the Trustee receives notice that such Opinion of Counsel or other documents have been superseded or revoked, and may assume compliance with any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel (other than any conditions to be performed by the Trustee). If such form or forms or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. -28- SECTION 304. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any Series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of like tenor of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor and of any authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor. SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company in any Place of Payment for such series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (in the name of the designated transferee or transferees) one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. -29- At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company in any Place of Payment for such series. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. The Company may but shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified a contemplated by Section 301, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to this Section 305 for Securities registered in the name of Persons other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series. Upon the occurrence in respect of any Global Security of any series of any one or more of the conditions specified in Clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence or such -30- other conditions as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such series, such Global Security may be exchanged for Securities not bearing the legend specified in Section 205 and registered in the names of such Persons as may be specified by the Depositary (including Persons other than the Depositary). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such Global Security to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary. SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. -31- The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered in the Security Register at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date. Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable but is 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 the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at such Holder's address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and -32- the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary (or its nominee) shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security or any Security represented thereby, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security or any Security represented thereby for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial interest, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominees) as Holder of any Security. -33- SECTION 309. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed unless otherwise directed by a Company Order. SECTION 310. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. SECTION 311. Payment to be in Proper Currency. In the case of any Securities denominated in any currency (the "Required Currency") other than United States of America dollars, except as otherwise provided therein, the obligation of the Company to make any payment of principal, premium or interest thereon shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company, or recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee timely holding the full amount of the Required Currency then due and payable. If any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than the Required Currency, the Trustee may take such actions as it considers appropriate to exchange such currency for the Required Currency. The costs and risks of any such exchange, including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company, the Company shall remain fully liable for any shortfall or delinquency in the full amount of Required Currency then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable therefor except in the case of its negligence or willful misconduct. -34- ARTICLE FOUR SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when (1) either (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (B) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, or (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount, in the currency in which such Securities are payable, sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the respective Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; -35- (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, and (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

If principal of and any premium and interest on Securities of any series are denominated and payable in United States of America dollars, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the Outstanding Securities of such series on the 91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in subparagraph (d) hereof, and the provisions of this Indenture, as it relates to such Outstanding Securities, shall no longer be in effect (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall at Company Request, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except as to: -36- (a) the rights of Holders of Securities to receive, from the trust funds described in subparagraph (d) hereof, (i) payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest and (ii) the benefit of any mandatory sinking fund payments applicable to the Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities; (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and 1003; and (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder; provided that, the following conditions shall have been satisfied: (d) The Company has deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 609) as trust funds in the trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than one day before the due date of any payment referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this subparagraph (d) money in an amount or (iii) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge (A) the principal of (and premium, if any) and each installment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal and interest and (B) any mandatory sinking fund payments applicable to the Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of the Securities; (e) such deposit shall not cause the Trustee with respect to the Securities to have a conflicting interest as defined in Section 608 and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities; (f) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; -37- (g) such provision would not cause any Outstanding Securities then listed on the New York Stock Exchange or other securities exchange to be delisted as a result thereof; (h) no Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the 91st day after such date; (i) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that there has been a change in applicable Federal law such that, or the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling to the effect that, Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposits, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred; and (j) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section have been complied with. ARTICLE FIVE REMEDIES SECTION 501. Events of Default. "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, and unless otherwise provided with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to Section 301(12), means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

or (5) an event of default, as defined in any indenture or instrument under which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have outstanding at least $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of indebtedness for money borrowed, shall happen and be continuing and such indebtedness shall, as a result thereof, have been accelerated so that the same shall be or become due and payable prior to the date on which the same would otherwise have become due and payable, and such acceleration shall not be rescinded or annulled within 10 days after notice thereof shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding; provided, however, that if such event of default under such indenture or instrument shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived by the Holders of such indebtedness, then, unless the Securities of any series shall have been accelerated as provided herein, the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied, cured or waived without further action upon the part of either the Trustee or any Holders of the Securities of any series; or (6) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law, or -39- appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (7) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or (8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default with respect to Outstanding Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified portion thereof) shall become immediately due and payable. -40- At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Outstanding Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series, (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or -41- (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Security, the whole amount then due and payable on such Security for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Security, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Security and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Security, wherever situated. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, -42- (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) or such portion of the principal amount of any series of Original Issue Discount Securities as may be specified in the terms of such series and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and for any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. -43- SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (4) the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, has failed to institute any such proceeding; and -44- (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or -45- otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. SECTION 512. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. -46- The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to waive any past default hereunder. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to waive any default hereunder, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have waived such default prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver of such default previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by such Holder's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). SECTION 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will -47- not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. ARTICLE SIX THE TRUSTEE SECTION 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The provisions of TIA Section 315 shall apply to the Trustee. SECTION 602. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series. -48- SECTION 603. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d): (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order or as otherwise expressly provided herein and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution; (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate; (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such fact or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; -49- (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; (h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; and (i) the Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. SECTION 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof. SECTION 605. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. -50- SECTION 606. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. SECTION 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 607 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on particular Securities, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to each senior claim. -51- SECTION 608.

If such Corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. Neither the Company, nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company, shall act as Trustee hereunder. SECTION 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611. (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. -52- (d) If at any time: (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, -53- petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. SECTION 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the -54- same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. Whenever there is a successor Trustee with respect to one or more (but less than all) series of securities issued pursuant to this Indenture, the terms "Indenture" and "Securities" shall have the meanings specified in the provisos to the respective definitions of those terms in Section 101 which contemplate such situation. (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section, as the case may be. (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. SECTION 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities; in case any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of such predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all -55- such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. SECTION 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a). A Trustee which has resigned or been removed is subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. SECTION 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding the Trustee, with the concurrence of the Company, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. -56- Any Corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form: -57- This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein and issued pursuant to the within-mentioned Indenture.

SECTION 1006. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or upon its income, profits or property, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon its property; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith.

The following provisions shall apply to the Securities of each series unless specifically otherwise provided in a Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate or indenture supplemental hereto provided pursuant to Section 301. The Company may omit to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1005, 1006, 1007 and 1008 and any such omission with respect to Sections 1005, 1006, 1007 and 1008 shall not be an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Securities of that series, provided that the following conditions have been satisfied: (1) with reference to this Section 1009, the Company has deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 609) as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that series, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than one day before the due date of any payment referred to in clause (A) or (B) of this subparagraph (1) money in an amount, or (iii) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent -72- public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge (A) the principal of (and premium, if any) and each instalment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the Outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installments of principal and interest and (B) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the Securities of such series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities; (2) such deposit shall not cause the Trustee with respect to the Securities of that series to have a conflicting interest as defined in Section 608 and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series; (3) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; (4) no Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; (5) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance of certain obligations and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and (6) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the defeasance contemplated in this Section have been complied with.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to waive any such term, provision or condition. If a record date is fixed for such purpose, the Holders on such record date or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to waive any such term, provision or condition hereunder, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have waived such term, provision or condition prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect.

In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of like tenor of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of like tenor of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of like tenor of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at each such Holder's address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall state: (1) the Redemption Date, (2) the Redemption Price, -75- (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of like tenor of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed, (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, (5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and (6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. -76- If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment for such series (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered; provided, however, that if a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered. ARTICLE TWELVE SINKING FUNDS SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. -77- SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of like tenor of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of like tenor of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of like tenor of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited.

Not less than 45 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given. the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

Medium-Term Notes, Series A Officers' Certificate and Company Order Pursuant to the Indenture dated as of August 1, 1994 (the "Indenture"), between Honeywell Inc. (the "Company") and The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association), as Trustee (the "Trustee"), and resolutions adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on April 20, 1993, this Officers' Certificate and Company Order is being delivered to the Trustee to establish the terms of a series of Securities in accordance with Section 301 of the Indenture, to establish the forms of the Securities of such series in accordance with Section 201 of the Indenture, and to establish the procedures for the authentication and delivery of specific Securities from time to time pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. All conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to the establishment of (i) a series of Securities, (ii) the forms of such series of Securities and (iii) the procedures for the authentication and delivery of such series of Securities have been complied with. A. ESTABLISHMENT OF SERIES PURSUANT TO SECTION 301 OF INDENTURE. There is hereby established pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture a series of Securities which shall have the following terms: (1) The Securities of such series shall bear the title "Medium-Term Notes, Series A" (referred to herein as the "Notes"). (2) There shall be no limitation on the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series, however, unless otherwise specified in an Authentication Certificate (as defined in Section C below), the aggregate initial offering price of the Notes of such series to be issued pursuant to this Officers' Certificate is limited to $500,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in foreign currencies or composite currencies (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of such series pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1107 of the Indenture and except for any Notes which, pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered thereunder) as such amount may be reduced by the issuance of other series of the Securities. (3) Interest will be payable to the person in whose name a Note (or any predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined below) next preceding each Interest Payment Date (as defined below); provided, however, that interest payable on the stated maturity thereof or upon redemption or repayment (other than interest payable on a Maturity Date or any applicable redemption date or repayment date that is also an Interest Payment Date) will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. The first payment of any interest on any Note originally issued after a Regular Record Date and on or before an Interest Payment Date will be made on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the registered holder on such next succeeding Regular Record Date. Any interest which is payable, but not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be payable to the person and in the manner specified in Section 307 of the Indenture. (4) Unless previously redeemed or repaid, each Note will mature on the date from 9 months to 30 years from its date of issue, as specified in such Note and in the applicable Authentication Certificate or, if such Note is a Floating Rate Note (as defined below) and such specified date is not a Business Day (as defined below) with respect to such Note, the next succeeding Business Day (or, in the case of a LIBOR Note (as defined below), if such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the next preceding Business Day). If the maturity date specified in such Note and in the applicable Authentication Certificate for any Fixed Rate Note is a day that is not a Business Day, principal will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such specified maturity date. "Business Day" means (a) with respect to any Note, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that in The City of New York, is not a day on which banking institutions generally are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close (and with respect to LIBOR Notes is a day on which dealings in deposits in the relevant Specified Currency (as defined below) are transacted in the London interbank market) and (b) with respect to Foreign Currency Notes (as defined below) only, any day that, in the capital city of the country of the currency in which such Notes are denominated, is not a day on which banking institutions generally are authorized or obligated by law to close (which in the case of Foreign Currency Notes denominated in European Currency Units ("ECUs") shall be Luxembourg, in which case "Business Day" shall not include any day that is a non-ECU clearing day as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris). (5) Each Note within such series that bears interest will bear interest at either (a) a fixed rate (the "Fixed Rate Notes"), (b) an indexed rate (the "Indexed Notes") or (c) a floating rate determined by reference to one or more interest rate formulas, which may be adjusted by a Spread and/or Spread Multiplier (each as defined below), and, if so specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate with respect to one or more Interest Periods (as defined below), one or more fixed rates (the "Floating Rate Notes"). Notes within such series may also be issued as "Zero Coupon Notes" which do not provide for any periodic payments of interest. Notes may be issued as "Original Issue Discount Notes" at a discount from the principal amount thereof due at the stated maturity as specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate. Any Floating Rate Note may also have either or both of -2- the following as set forth in the applicable Authentication Certificate: (i) a maximum interest rate limitation, or ceiling, on the rate of interest which may accrue during any Interest Period; and (ii) a minimum interest rate limitation, or floor, on the rate of interest which may accrue during any Interest Period. The applicable Authentication Certificate may designate any of the following interest rate formulas as applicable to one or more Interest Periods on each Floating Rate Note: (a) the Commercial Paper Rate, in which case such Note will be a "Commercial Paper Rate Note" with respect to such Interest Period or Interest Periods; (b) the Federal Funds Rate, in which case such Note will be a "Federal Funds Rate Note" with respect to such Interest Period or Interest Periods; (c) LIBOR, in which case such Note will be a "LIBOR Note" with respect to such Interest Period or Interest Periods; (d) the Prime Rate, in which case such Note will be a "Prime Rate Note" with respect to such Interest Period or Interest Periods; (e) the CD Rate, in which case such Note will be a "CD Rate Note" with respect to such Interest Period or Interest Periods; (f) the Treasury Rate, in which case such Note will be a "Treasury Rate Note" with respect to such Interest Period or Interest Periods; (g) the CMT Rate, in which case such Note will be a "CMT Rate Note" with respect to such Interest Period or Interest Periods; or (h) such other interest rate formula as is set forth in the applicable Authentication Certificate. The interest rate on each Floating Rate Note for each Interest Period will be determined by reference to (i) the applicable interest rate formula specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate for such Interest Period, plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, or (ii) the applicable fixed rate per annum specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate for such Interest Period. The "Spread" is the number of basis points specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate as being applicable to such Floating Rate Note for such Interest Period, and the "Spread Multiplier" is the percentage specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate as being applicable to such Floating Rate Note for such Interest Period. Each Note that bears interest will bear interest from and including its date of issue or from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest on such Note (or any predecessor Note) has been paid or duly provided for (i) at the fixed rate per annum applicable to the related Interest Period or Interest Periods, (ii) at the rate determined pursuant to the applicable index or (iii) at the rate per annum determined pursuant to the interest rate formula applicable to the related Interest Period or Interest Periods, in each case as specified therein and in the applicable Authentication Certificate, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest will be payable on each Interest Payment Date and at the stated maturity thereof or upon repayment or redemption. The first payment of interest on any Note originally issued after a Regular Record Date and on or before an Interest Payment Date will be made on the Interest Payment Date following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the registered holder on such next succeeding Regular Record Date. Interest rates and interest rate formulas are subject to change by the Company from time to time but -3- no such change will affect any Note theretofore issued or which the Company has agreed to issue. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the "Interest Payment Dates" and the "Regular Record Dates" for Fixed Rate Notes shall be as described below under "Fixed Rate Notes" and the "Interest Payment Dates" and the "Regular Record Dates" for Floating Rate Notes shall be as described below under "Floating Rate Notes". The interest rate on a Note for any Interest Period will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. The applicable Authentication Certificate will specify: (i) the issue price, Interest Payment Dates and Regular Record Dates; (ii) with respect to any Fixed Rate Note, the interest rate; (iii) with respect to any Indexed Note, the index; (iv) with respect to any Floating Rate Note, the Initial Interest Rate (as defined below), the method (which may vary from Interest Period to Interest Period) of calculating the interest rate applicable to each Interest Period (including, if applicable, the fixed rate per annum applicable to one or more Interest Periods, the period to maturity of any instrument on which the interest rate formula for any Interest Period is based (the "Index Maturity"), the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, the Interest Determination Dates (as defined below), the Interest Reset Dates (as defined below) and any minimum or maximum interest rate limitations); (v) whether such Note is an Original Issue Discount Note; and (vi) any other terms consistent with the Indenture. FIXED RATE NOTES Each Fixed Rate Note, whether or not issued as an Original Issue Discount Note, will bear interest at the annual rate specified therein and in the applicable Authentication Certificate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the Interest Payment Dates for the Fixed Rate Notes will be on June 15 and December 15 of each year and the Regular Record Dates for the Fixed Rate Notes will be on the first day (whether or not a Business Day) of the month in which such Interest Payment Date occurs. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, interest payments for Fixed Rate Notes shall be the amount of interest accrued from, and including, the next preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the date of issue if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to such Fixed Rate Note) to, but excluding, the relevant Interest Payment Date. Interest on Fixed Rate Notes will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any Interest Payment Date or any applicable Redemption Date or Repayment Date (as defined below) on a Fixed Rate Note is not a Business Day, interest, and in the case of any redemption or repayment, principal, will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date. -4- FLOATING RATE NOTES The Interest Payment Dates for the Floating Rate Notes shall be as specified in such Notes and in the applicable Authentication Certificate, and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the Regular Record Dates for the Floating Rate Notes will be the day (whether or not a Business Day) fifteen calendar days preceding each Interest Payment Date. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate and except as provided below, interest on Floating Rate Notes will be payable on the following Interest Payment Dates: in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a daily, weekly or monthly Interest Reset Date, on the third Wednesday of each month or on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a quarterly Interest Reset Date, on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a semi-annual Interest Reset Date, on the third Wednesday of the two months of each year specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate; and in the case of Floating Rate Notes with an annual Interest Reset Date, on the third Wednesday of the month of each year specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, and in each case at maturity or upon repayment or redemption. If any Interest Payment Date or any applicable Redemption Date or Repayment Date for any Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date for such Floating Rate Note shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Note, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. The rate of interest on each Floating Rate Note will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually (the date on which each such reset occurs, an "Interest Reset Date"), as specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the Interest Reset Date will be as follows: in the case of Floating Rate Notes which are reset daily, each Business Day; in the case of Floating Rate Notes (other than Treasury Rate Notes) which are reset weekly, the Wednesday of each week; in the case of Treasury Rate Notes which are reset weekly, the Tuesday of each week (except if the auction date falls on a Tuesday, then the next Business Day, as provided below); in the case of Floating Rate Notes which are reset monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; in the case of Floating Rate Notes which are reset quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; in the case of Floating Rate Notes which are reset semiannually, the third Wednesday of the two months of each year specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate; and in the case of Floating Rate Notes which are reset annually, the third Wednesday of the month of each year specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the interest rate determined with respect to any Interest Determination Date will -5- become effective on and as of the next succeeding Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that (i) the interest rate in effect from the date of issue to the first Interest Reset Date with respect to a Floating Rate Note (the "Initial Interest Rate") will be as specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate and (ii) the interest rate in effect for the 10 days immediately prior to maturity will be that in effect on the tenth day preceding such maturity. If any Interest Reset Date for any Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Note, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. As used herein, "Interest Determination Date" means the date as of which the interest rate for a Floating Rate Note is to be calculated, to be effective as of the following Interest Reset Date and calculated on the related Calculation Date (as defined below). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to any Interest Reset Date for a Commercial Paper Rate Note, a Federal Funds Rate Note, a LIBOR Note, a Prime Rate Note, a CD Rate Note or a CMT Rate Note (the "Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date", the "Federal Funds Interest Determination Date", the "LIBOR Interest Determination Date", the "Prime Interest Determination Date", the "CD Interest Determination Date" and the "CMT Interest Determination Date", respectively) will be the second Business Day prior to such Interest Reset Date. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Note (the "Treasury Interest Determination Date") will be the day of the week on which Treasury bills would normally be auctioned in the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Treasury Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week. If an auction date shall fall on any Interest Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Note, then such Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day immediately following such auction date. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, interest payments on an Interest Payment Date for a Floating Rate Note will include interest accrued from, and including, the next preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the date of issue if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to such Floating Rate Note) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (each such interest accrual period, an "Interest Period"). Accrued interest from the date of issue or from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to the date for which interest is being calculated shall be calculated by multiplying the face amount of a Floating Rate Note by the applicable accrued interest factor (the "Accrued Interest Factor"). The Accrued Interest Factor shall be computed by adding together the interest factors calculated for each day from the date of issue, or from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, to, but excluding, the date -6- for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the per annum interest rate applicable to such day by 360 in the case of Commercial Paper Rate Notes, Federal Funds Rate Notes, LIBOR Notes, Prime Rate Notes and CD Rate Notes, or by the actual number of days in the year in the case of Treasury Rate Notes and CMT Rate Notes. The interest rate in effect on each day will be (i) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date pertaining to such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the next preceding Interest Reset Date, subject in either case to any maximum or minimum interest rate limitation referred to above or in the applicable Authentication Certificate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association) will be the "Calculation Agent". On or before each Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the interest rate as described below and notify the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent will determine the Accrued Interest Factor applicable to any such Floating Rate Note. The Paying Agent will, upon the request of the holder of any Floating Rate Note, provide the interest rate then in effect and the interest rate which will become effective as a result of a determination made with respect to the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note. The determinations of interest rates made by the Calculation Agent shall be conclusive and binding, and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have the duty to verify determinations of interest rates made by the Calculation Agent. The determinations of Accrued Interest Factors made by the Paying Agent shall be conclusive and binding. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the "Calculation Date", if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date on a Floating Rate Note will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, and (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the stated maturity date or repayment or redemption date, as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, all percentages resulting from any calculation referred to in this Prospectus Supplement will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred- thousandth of one percentage point, with five one-millionths of one percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655) and 9.876544% (or .09876544) being rounded to 9.87654% (or .0987654); all calculations of the interest factor for any day on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-millionth, with five one-billionths rounded upward (e.g., .098765455 being rounded to .09876546 and .098765454 being rounded to .09876545); and all currency or composite currency amounts used in or resulting from such calculations on the Notes will be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a unit (with .005 of a unit being rounded upward). -7- COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE NOTES. Commercial Paper Rate Notes will bear interest at the interest rates (calculated with reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any) specified in the Commercial Paper Rate Note and in the applicable Authentication Certificate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, "Commercial Paper Rate" means, with respect to any Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, the Money Market Yield (calculated as described below) of the rate on that date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate as such rate is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication ("H.15(519)") under the heading "Commercial Paper". If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date such rate is not so published, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the rate on that Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Authentication Certificate as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in its daily statistical release, "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" ("Composite Quotations") under the heading "Commercial Paper". If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, the Commercial Paper Rate for that Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates of three leading dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA", or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized securities rating agency; provided, however, that if fewer than three dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as specified in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date will remain the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date. "Money Market Yield" shall be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula: Money Market Yield = D x 360 x 100 ----------------- 360-(D x M) where "D" refers to the per annum rate for the commercial paper, quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated. -8- FEDERAL FUNDS RATE NOTES.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, "Federal Funds Rate" means, with respect to any Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, the rate on that day for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds Effective" or, if not so published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate". If such rate is not so published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate for such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal Funds arranged by three leading dealers of Federal Funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if fewer than three dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as specified in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate will remain the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date. LIBOR NOTES. LIBOR Notes will bear interest at the interest rates (calculated with reference to LIBOR and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any) specified in the LIBOR Notes and in the applicable Authentication Certificate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, LIBOR will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions: (i) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the offered rates for deposits in the Index Currency (as defined below) having the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Authentication Certificate, commencing on the second Business Day immediately following that LIBOR Interest Determination Date, that appears as of 11:00 a.m. London time on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date on the display screen designated "Page 3750" by Telerate Data Service, or such other page as may replace such page on that service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers' Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for deposits in the relevant Index Currency. If no rate appears on Telerate Page 3750, then LIBOR in respect of that LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the display referred to below by its terms -9- provides only for a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for deposits in the London interbank market in the Index Currency having the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Authentication Certificate and commencing on the second Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date that appear on the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank offered rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required). If fewer than two such rates appear (or, if such display by its terms provides for only a single rate, in which case if no such rate appears), then LIBOR in respect of such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in clause (ii) below. (ii) If LIBOR with respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date is to be determined pursuant to this clause (ii), the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Authentication Certificate, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., (or such other time specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate), in the applicable Principal Financial Center (as defined below), on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks in such Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Authentication Certificate and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate as the currency for which -10- LIBOR shall be calculated. If no such currency is specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the Index Currency shall be United States dollars.

In the event that such rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the relevant Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate with respect to such Prime Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the display designated as page "NYMF" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the NYMF page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks) ("Reuters Screen NYMF Page") as such banks prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Prime Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen NYMF Page on such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be determined as the arithmetic mean on the basis of the prime rates or base rates for commercial loans quoted in The City of New York on such date by three substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, having total equity capital of at least $500,000,000 and being subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company); provided, however, that if fewer than three banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as specified in this sentence, the Prime Rate will remain the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Interest Determination Date.

In the event that the results of the auction of Treasury bills having the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Authentication Certificate are not otherwise reported as provided above by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or no such auction is held in a particular week, then the Treasury Rate shall be the rate published in H.15(519) under the heading "U.S. Government Securities--Treasury Bills--Secondary Market" (expressed as a bond equivalent yield on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, on a daily basis), or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time on the related Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, -12- and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Treasury Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity designated in the applicable Authentication Certificate; provided, however, that if fewer than three dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as specified in this sentence, the Treasury Rate with respect to such Treasury Interest Determination Date will remain the Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Interest Determination Date. CMT RATE NOTES. CMT Rate Notes will bear interest at the interest rates (calculated with reference to the CMT Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any) specified in the CMT Rate Note and in the applicable Authentication Certificate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, "CMT Rate" means, with respect to any CMT Interest Determination Date, the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined below) under the caption ". . . Treasury Constant Maturities . . . Federal Reserve Board Release H.15 . . . Mondays Approximately 3:45 p.m.", under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (as defined below) for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such CMT Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related CMT Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be such Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519). If such rate is no longer published, or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be such Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the CMT Interest Determination Date with respect to such Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in the relevant H.15(519). If such information is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time on the CMT Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary United States government securities dealers (each, a "Reference Dealer") in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by -13- the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States ("Treasury notes") with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain three such Treasury notes quotations, the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the CMT Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at least $100,000,000. If three or four (and not five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described herein, the CMT Rate will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Interest Determination Date. If two Treasury notes with an original maturity as described in the third preceding sentence, have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the CMT Rate Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service on the page designated in the applicable Authentication Certificate (or any other page as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519)), for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If no such page is specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be 2 years. ZERO COUPON NOTES The specific terms of any Zero Coupon Notes will be set forth in the applicable Authentication Certificate. -14- (6) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (if any) on the Notes will be payable, and, except as provided in Section 305 of the Indenture with respect to any Global Security (as defined below) representing Book-Entry Notes (as defined below), the transfer of the Notes will be registrable and Notes will be exchangeable for Notes bearing identical terms and provisions at the corporate trust office of The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association) (the "Paying Agent"), in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, provided that payments of interest with respect to any Certificated Note (as defined below), other than interest at maturity or upon redemption, may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the registry books of the Company at the close of business on the Regular Record Date corresponding to the relevant Interest Payment Date. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, holders of $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes shall be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest at maturity or upon redemption, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been given to the Paying Agent in writing not later than the Regular Record Date prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.

If a Redemption Commencement Date is so specified with respect to any Note, the applicable Authentication Certificate shall also specify one or more redemption prices ("Redemption Prices") (unless otherwise specified in such Authentication Certificate, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of such Note or, in the case of Zero Coupon Notes or certain interest bearing Notes issued as Original Issue Discount Notes (as specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate), as a percentage of the Amortized Face Amount (as defined below) of such Note as described in Paragraph (13) below), together with accrued interest, if any, to the date of redemption (or, in the case of any interest bearing Note issued as an Original Issue Discount Note, any accrued but unpaid "qualified stated interest" payments (as specified in Paragraph (13) below)) and the redemption period or periods ("Redemption Periods") during which such Redemption Prices shall apply. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the Company may redeem any of the Notes which are redeemable and remain outstanding either in whole or from time to time in part upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article XI of the Indenture. (8) The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless a date or dates on which a Note may be repayable at the option of the Holder thereof (each a "Repayment Date") is specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, will not be repayable at the option of a holder prior to their stated maturity. If a Repayment Date is so specified with respect to any Note, the applicable -15- Authentication Certificate will also specify one or more repayment prices ("Repayment Prices") (unless otherwise specified in such Authentication Certificate, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of such Note or, in the case of Zero Coupon Notes or certain interest bearing Notes issued as Original Issue Discount Notes (as specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate), as a percentage of the Amortized Face Amount of such Note as described in Paragraph (13) below), together with accrued interest, if any, to the date of repayment (or, in the case of any interest bearing Note issued as an Original Issue Discount Note, any accrued but unpaid "qualified stated interest" payments (as specified in Paragraph (13) below)), the repayment period or periods ("Repayment Periods") during which such Repayment Prices shall apply and any other terms of such repayment.

Foreign Currency Notes will be issued in the denominations specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate. (10) The Notes may be denominated, and payments of principal of and interest on the Notes will be made, in United States dollars or in such foreign currencies or composite currencies (a "Specified Currency") as may be specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate (each such Note denominated in a Specified Currency other than United States Dollars, a "Foreign Currency Notes"). (11) The Notes may be issued with the principal amount thereof payable at maturity or upon redemption or repayment or the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, or both, to be determined with reference to an index or indices (E.G., currencies, composite currencies, commodities, financial or nonfinancial indices) or other factors set forth in the applicable Authentication Certificate. Holders of such Notes may receive a principal amount at maturity or upon redemption or repayment that is greater than or less than the face amount of the Note depending upon such index or other factor. Information as to the method for determining the principal amount payable at maturity or upon redemption or repayment or the amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, and the applicable index or other factor will be set forth in the applicable Authentication Certificate. (12) Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, the Notes shall be subject to the events of default specified in Section 501, paragraphs (1) through (7), of the Indenture. (13) The portion of the principal amount of the Notes, other than Original Issue Discount Notes, (including any Zero Coupon Notes) which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of maturity thereof shall not be other than the principal amount thereof. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable -16- Authentication Certificate, the portion of the principal amount of Zero Coupon Notes and certain interest bearing Notes issued as Original Issue Discount Notes (as specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate) upon any acceleration of the maturity thereof will be the Amortized Face Amount (as defined below) thereof, and the amount payable to the holder of such Original Issue Discount Note upon any redemption or repayment thereof will be the applicable percentage of the Amortized Face Amount thereof specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, in each case as determined by the Company plus, in the case of any interest bearing Note issued as an Original Issue Discount Note, any accrued but unpaid "qualified stated interest" payments (as defined in the Treasury Regulations regarding original issue discount issued by the Treasury Department in January 1994 (the "Regulations")). The "Amortized Face Amount" of an Original Issue Discount Note is equal to the sum of (i) the Issue Price (as defined below) of such Original Issue Discount Note and (ii) that portion of the difference between the Issue Price and the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Note that has been amortized at the Stated Yield (as defined below) of such Original Issue Discount Note (computed in accordance with Section 1272(a)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Section 1.1275-1(b) of the Regulations, in each case as in effect on the issue date of such Original Issue Discount Note) at the date as of which the Amortized Face Amount is calculated, but in no event can the Amortized Face Amount exceed the principal amount of such Note due at the stated maturity thereof. As used in the preceding sentence, the term "Issue Price" means the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Note due at the stated maturity thereof less the "Original Issue Discount" of such Original Issue Discount Note specified on the face thereof and in the applicable Authentication Certificate. The term "Stated Yield" of such Original Issue Discount Note means the "Yield to Maturity" specified on the face of such Original Issue Discount Note and in the applicable Authentication Certificate for the period from the Original Issue Date of such Original Issue Discount Note, as specified on the face of such Original Issue Discount Note and in the applicable Authentication Certificate, to the stated maturity thereof based on its Issue Price and principal amount payable at the stated maturity thereof. (14) Each Note will be represented by either a global security (a "Global Security") registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository (each such Note represented by a Global Security being herein referred to as a "Book- Entry Note") or a certificate issued in definitive registered form, without coupons (a "Certificated Note"), as set forth in the applicable Authentication Certificate. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate, The Depository Trust Company will act as Depositary. Except as provided in Section 305 of the Indenture, Book-Entry Notes will not be issuable in certificated form and will not be exchangeable or transferable. So long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered holder of any Global Security, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole Holder of the Book-Entry Note or Notes represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture and the Notes. -17- (15) Subject to the terms of the Indenture and the resolutions and authorizations referred to in the first paragraph hereof, the Notes shall have such other terms (which may be in addition to or different from the terms set forth herein) as are specified in the applicable Authentication Certificate. B. ESTABLISHMENT OF NOTE FORMS PURSUANT TO SECTION 201 OF INDENTURE. It is hereby established pursuant to Section 201 of the Indenture that the Global Securities representing Book-Entry Notes shall be substantially in the forms attached as Exhibits A, B, C and D hereto, unless a different form is provided in the applicable Authentication Certificate (which Authentication Certificate shall be an "Officers' Certificate" satisfying the requirements of Section 201 of the Indenture). The Notes shall have such additional terms as shall be set forth in the applicable Authentication Certificate and delivered to the Trustee or its authenticating agent. Upon receipt (including by facsimile) of such an Authentication Certificate, the Trustee or its authenticating agent is hereby instructed to insert such terms on the face of the Notes relating thereto. C. ESTABLISHMENT OR PROCEDURES FOR AUTHENTICATION OF NOTES PURSUANT TO SECTION 303 OF INDENTURE. It is hereby ordered pursuant to Section 303 of the Indenture that Notes may be authenticated by the Trustee and issued in accordance with the Administrative Procedures attached hereto as Exhibit E and upon receipt by the Trustee (including by facsimile) of an Authentication Certificate Supplemental to this Officers' Certificate and Company Order, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit F hereto (an "Authentication Certificate"), setting forth the information specified or contemplated therein for the particular Notes to be authenticated and issued. At least one officer signing each Authentication Certificate shall be an Authorized Officer as defined in the resolutions referred to in the first paragraph hereof. D. OTHER MATTERS. The applicable Authentication Certificate shall specify any agent of the Company designated for the purpose of delivering, for cancellation by the Trustee pursuant to Section 309 of the Indenture, Notes which have not been issued and sold by the Company. -18- The undersigned have read the pertinent sections of the Indenture including the related definitions contained therein. The undersigned have examined the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company and the authorizations adopted by the Committee of the Board of Directors. 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 the conditions precedent to the establishment of (i) a series of Securities, (ii) the forms of such Securities and (iii) the procedures for authentication of such series of Securities, contained in the Indenture have been complied with.

INTEREST PROVISIONS Commencing with the Interest Reset Date specified above, first following the Original Issue Date specified above, the rate at which this Note bears interest will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually (the date on which each such reset occurs, an "Interest Reset Date"). Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", the Interest Reset Date will be as follows: in the case of Notes which are reset daily, each Business Day; in the case of Notes (other than Treasury Rate Notes) which are reset weekly, Wednesday of each week; in the case of Treasury Rate Notes which are reset weekly, Tuesday of each week (except if the auction date falls on a Tuesday, then the next Business Day, as provided below); in the case of Notes which are reset monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; in the case of Notes which are reset quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; in the case of Notes which are reset semi-annually, the third Wednesday of the two months of each year as indicated above, by the Interest Reset Dates; and in the case of Notes which are reset annually, the third Wednesday of the month of each year as indicated above, by the Interest Reset Dates.

Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", "Commercial Paper Rate" means, with respect to any Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date, the Money -6- Market Yield (calculated as described below) of the rate on that date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified above as such rate is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication ("H.15(519)") under the heading "Commercial Paper".

Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", "Federal Funds Rate" means, with respect to any Federal Funds Interest Determination Date (as defined -7- below), the rate on that day for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds Effective" or, if not so published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, then the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate". If such rate is not so published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate for such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal Funds arranged by three leading dealers of Federal Funds transactions in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date; provided, however, that if fewer than three dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as specified in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate will remain the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date. DETERMINATION OF LIBOR If the Interest Rate Basis specified above with respect to any Interest Period is LIBOR, this Note is a "LIBOR Note" with respect to such Interest Period and the interest rate with respect to this Note for any Interest Reset Date relating to such Interest Period shall be LIBOR plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above, as determined on the applicable LIBOR Interest Determination Date (as defined below). Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", "LIBOR" will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions: (i) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the offered rates for deposits in the Index Currency (as defined below) having the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on the second Business Day immediately following that LIBOR Interest Determination Date, that appear as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that LIBOR Interest Determination Date on the display screen designated "Page 3750" by Telerate Data Service, or such other page as may replace such page on that service or such other service or services as may be nominated by the British Bankers' Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for deposits in the relevant Index Currency. If no rate appears on Telerate Page 3750, then LIBOR in respect of that LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the display referred to below by its terms provides only for a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for deposits in the London interbank market in the Index Currency having the Index Maturity specified above and commencing on the second Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date that appear on the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank offered rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency as of 11:00 a.m., London -8- time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required). If fewer than two such rates appear (or, if such display by its terms provides for only a single rate, in which case if no such rate appears), then LIBOR in respect of such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in clause (ii) below. (ii) If LIBOR with respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date is to be determined pursuant to this clause (ii), the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified above, commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., (or such other time specified above), in the applicable Principal Financial Center (as defined below), on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks in such Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified above as the currency for which LIBOR shall be calculated. If no such currency is specified above, the Index Currency shall be United States dollars. "Principal Financial Center" will generally be the capital city of the country of the specified Index Currency, except that with respect to United States dollars, Deutsche marks, Italian lira, Swiss francs, Dutch guilders and ECUs, the Principal Financial Center shall be The City of New York, Frankfurt, Milan, Zurich, Amsterdam and Luxembourg, respectively. DETERMINATION OF PRIME RATE If the Interest Rate Basis specified above with respect to any Interest Period is the Prime Rate, this Note is a "Prime Rate Note" with respect to such Interest Period and the interest rate with respect to this Note for any Interest Reset Date relating to such Interest Period shall be the Prime Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the -9- Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above, as determined on the applicable Prime Interest Determination Date (as defined below). Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", "Prime Rate" means, with respect to any Prime Interest Determination Date, the rate set forth for the relevant Prime Interest Determination Date in H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime Loan". In the event that such rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the relevant Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate with respect to such Prime Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the display designated as page "NYMF" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the NYMF page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks) ("Reuters Screen NYMF Page") as such banks prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Prime Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen NYMF Page on such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be determined as the arithmetic mean on the basis of the prime rates or base rates for commercial loans quoted in The City of New York on such date by three substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, having total equity capital of at least $500,000,000 and being subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company); provided, however, that if fewer than three banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as specified in this sentence, the Prime Rate will remain the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Interest Determination Date. DETERMINATION OF THE CD RATE If the Interest Rate Basis specified above with respect to any Interest Period is the CD Rate, this Note is a "CD Rate Note" with respect to such Interest Period and the interest rate with respect to this Note for any Interest Reset Date relating to such Interest Period shall be the CD Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above, as determined on the applicable CD Interest Determination Date (as defined below). Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", "CD Rate" means, with respect to any CD Interest Determination Date, the rate on such date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified above as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)". If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such CD Interest Determination Date such rate is not so published, then the CD Rate shall be the rate on such CD Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified above as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Certificates of Deposit". If by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date such rate is not so published in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, the CD Rate for that CD Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the -10- arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such CD Interest Determination Date, of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable certificates of deposit of major U.S. money market banks which are then rated A-1+ by Standard & Poor's Corporation and P-1 by Moody's Investors Service with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above in denominations of $5,000,000; provided, however, that if fewer than three dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as specified in this sentence, the CD Rate will remain the CD Rate in effect on such CD Interest Determination Date. DETERMINATION OF TREASURY RATE If the Interest Rate Basis specified above with respect to any Interest Period is the Treasury Rate, this Note is a "Treasury Rate Note" with respect to such Interest Period and the interest rate with respect to this Note for any Interest Reset Date relating to such Interest Period shall be the Treasury Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above, as determined on the applicable Treasury Interest Determination Date (as defined below). Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Treasury Interest Determination Date (as defined below), the rate for the most recent auction of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury bills") having the Index Maturity specified above as such rate is published in H.15(519) under the heading "U.S. Government Securities--Treasury Bills--auction average (investment)" or, if not so published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Treasury Interest Determination Date, then the auction average rate (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) as otherwise announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that the results of the auction of Treasury bills having an Index Maturity specified above are not otherwise reported as provided above by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or no such auction is held in a particular week, then the Treasury Rate shall be the rate published in H.15(519) under the heading "U.S. Government Securities--Treasury Bills--Secondary Market" (expressed as a bond equivalent yield on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, on a daily basis), or if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time on the related Calculation Date, the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Treasury Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified above; provided, however, that if fewer than three dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as specified in this sentence, the Treasury Rate with respect to such Treasury -11- Interest Determination Date will remain the Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Interest Determination Date. DETERMINATION OF CMT RATE If the Interest Rate Basis specified above with respect to any Interest Period is the CMT Rate, this Note is a "CMT Rate Note" with respect to such Interest Period and the interest rate with respect to this Note for any Interest Reset Date relating to such Interest Period shall be the CMT Rate plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, as specified above, as determined on the applicable CMT Interest Determination Date (as defined below). Unless otherwise specified above, "CMT Rate" means, with respect to any CMT Interest Determination Date, the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined below) under the caption ". . . Treasury Constant Maturities . . . Federal Reserve Board Release H.15 . . . Mondays Approximately 3:45 p.m.", under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (as defined below) for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such CMT Interest Determination Date and (ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the week or the month, as applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related CMT Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or if not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be such Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519). If such rate is no longer published, or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be such Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the CMT Interest Determination Date with respect to such Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in the relevant H.15(519). If such information is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time on the CMT Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written records, by three leading primary United States government securities dealers (each, a "Reference Dealer") in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States ("Treasury notes") with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the Calculation Agent cannot obtain -12- three such Treasury notes quotations, the CMT Rate for such CMT Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the CMT Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at least $100,000,000. If three or four (and not five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as described herein, the CMT Rate will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Interest Determination Date. If two Treasury notes with an original maturity as described in the third preceding sentence, have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the CMT Rate Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service on the page designated above (or any other page as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519)), for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If no such page is specified above, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified above with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified above, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be 2 years. GENERAL Notwithstanding the determination of the interest rate as provided above, the interest rate on this Note for any Interest Period shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified above. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. On or before the Calculation Date (as defined below), The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association) or any other Calculation Agent specified above, as Calculation Agent (the "Calculation Agent"), will determine the interest rate in accordance with the foregoing with respect to the applicable Interest Rate Basis and will notify the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent will determine the Accrued Interest Factor (as defined below) -13- applicable to this Note. The Paying Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of this Note, provide the interest rate then in effect and the interest rate which will become effective as a result of a determination made with respect to the most recent Interest Determination Date with respect to this Note. The determinations of interest rates made by the Calculation Agent shall be conclusive and binding, and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have the duty to verify determinations of interest rates made by the Calculation Agent. The determinations of Accrued Interest Factors made by the Paying Agent shall be conclusive and binding. Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", the "Calculation Date", if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date on a Note will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day and (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the maturity date or repayment or redemption date, as the case may be. As used herein, "Interest Determination Date" means the date as of which the interest rate for this Note is to be calculated, to be effective as of the following Interest Reset Date and calculated on the related Calculation Date. Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a Commercial Paper Rate Note, Federal Funds Rate Note, LIBOR Note, Prime Rate Note, a CD Rate Note, or a CMT Rate Note (the "Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date", the "Federal Funds Interest Determination Date", the "LIBOR Interest Determination Date", the "Prime Interest Determination Date" the "CD Interest Determination Date", and the "CMT Interest Determination Date", respectively) will be the second Business Day prior to the Interest Reset Date. Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Note (the "Treasury Interest Determination Date") will be the day of the week on which Treasury bills would normally be auctioned in the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls. Treasury bills are usually sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is usually held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday. If, as the result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Treasury Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week. If an auction date shall fall on any Interest Reset Date for a Treasury Rate Note, then such Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day immediately following such auction date. Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", interest payments on this Note on an Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued from, and including, the next preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the date of issue if no interest has been paid or duly provided for) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (each such interest accrual period being herein called an "Interest Period"). At the Maturity Date hereof or on any applicable Redemption Date or Repayment Date, the interest payable shall include interest accrued to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or such Redemption Date or Repayment Date. Accrued interest from the date of issue or from the last day to which -14- interest has been paid or duly provided for to the date for which interest is being calculated is calculated by multiplying the face amount of this Note by the applicable accrued interest factor (the "Accrued Interest Factor"). This Accrued Interest Factor is computed by adding together the interest factors calculated for each day from the date of issue or from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to the date for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each such day will be computed by dividing the per annum interest rate applicable to such day by 360 in the case of Commercial Paper Rate Notes, Federal Funds Rate Notes, LIBOR Notes, Prime Rate Notes and CD Rate Notes, or by the actual number of days in the year in the case of Treasury Rate Notes and CMT Rate Notes. The interest rate in effect on each day will be (i) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date pertaining to such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the next preceding Interest Reset Date, subject in either case to any maximum or minimum interest rate limitation referred to above. Unless otherwise specified above under "Other Terms", all percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note, will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of one percentage point, with five one-millionths of one percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655) and 9.876544% (or .09876544) being rounded to 9.87654% (or .0987654)); all calculations of the interest factor for any day on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-millionth, with five one-billionths rounded upward (e.g., .098765455 being rounded to .09876546 and .098765454 being rounded to .09876545); and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward). MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may (subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture) be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the Company's obligations in respect of (i) the entire indebtedness of this Note or (ii) certain restrictive covenants with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected and, for certain purposes, without the consent of -15- the Holders of any Notes at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision 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 (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the registry books of the Company, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
