(e) The Manager shall have received on the Closing Date a letter, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager, from the Company's independent auditors, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Prospectus. 6.

In further consideration of the agreements of the Underwriters contained herein, the Company covenants as follows: (a) To furnish the Manager, without charge, a conformed copy of the Registration Statement (including exhibits and all amendments thereto) and for delivery to each other Underwriter a conformed copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, during the period mentioned in paragraph (c) below, as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration Statement as the Manager may reasonably request.

(d) To endeavor to qualify the Offered Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Manager shall reasonably request and to maintain such qualifications for as long as the Manager shall reasonably request.

Covenants of the Underwriters. (A) Each of the several Underwriters represents and agrees with the Company that: (a) except to the extent permitted under U.S. Treas. Reg.

The restricted period is defined at U.S. Treas. Reg. Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(7). All other terms used in the preceding paragraph have the meaning given to them by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder, including the D Rules. (B) Each of the several Underwriters represents and agrees with the Company that: (a) except to the extent permitted under the D Rules, (i) it has not offered or sold Debt Warrants in bearer form to a person who is within the United States or its possessions or to a United States person and (ii) it will not offer or sell Debt Warrants in bearer form at any time to a person who is within the United States or its possessions or to a United States person; (b) it has in effect procedures reasonably designed to ensure that its employees or agents who are directly engaged in selling Debt Warrants in bearer form are aware that such Debt Warrants may not be offered or sold at any time to a person who is within the United States or its possessions or to a United States person, except as permitted by the D Rules; (c) if it is a United States person, it is acquiring the Debt Warrants in bearer form for purposes of resale in connection with their original issuance and if it retains Debt Warrants in bearer form for its own account, it will only do so in accordance with the requirements of U.S. Treas.

Terms used in the preceding paragraph have the meaning given to them by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and regulations thereunder, including the D Rules. 8. Indemnification and Contribution. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or allegedly untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Manager expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Offered Securities, or any person controlling such Underwriter, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Underwriter to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Offered Securities to such person, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by such Underwriter in writing through the Manager expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Manager, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the second preceding paragraph, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the first preceding paragraph. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. To the extent the indemnification provided for in the first or second paragraph in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Offered Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Offered Securities. The relative fault of the Company and of the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, 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 Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Offered Securities purchased by each of such Underwriters and not joint. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. 9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice given by the Manager to the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities, or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the judgment of the Manager, is material and adverse and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (iv), such event, singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in the judgment of the Manager, impracticable to market the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus. 10. Defaulting Underwriters. If on the Closing Date any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase on such date, and the aggregate amount of Offered Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of the Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the amount of Underwriters' Securities set forth opposite their respective names above bears to the aggregate amount of Underwriters' Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Manager may specify, to purchase the Underwriters' Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the amount of Offered Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such amount of Offered Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If on the Closing Date any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Offered Securities and the aggregate amount of Offered Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Manager and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either the Manager or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering of the Offered Securities. 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective indemnity and contribution agreements and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, its officers and the Underwriters set forth in this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Securities. 12. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. 13. Counterparts. The Underwriting Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 14. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. 15. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

Solicitations as Agent; Purchases as Principal. (a) Solicitations as Agent. In connection with your actions as agent hereunder, you agree to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to instruct you to suspend at any time, for any period of time or permanently, the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes. Upon receipt of at least one business day's prior notice from the Company, you will forthwith suspend solicitations of offers to purchase Notes from the Company until such time as the Company has advised you that such solicitation may be resumed. While such solicitation is suspended, the Company shall not be required to deliver any certificates, opinions or letters in accordance with Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c); provided, however, that if the Registration Statement or Prospectus is amended or supplemented during the period of suspension (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedules or maturities offered on the Notes or for a change you deem to be immaterial), you shall not be required to resume soliciting offers to purchase Notes until the Company has delivered such certificates, opinions and letters as you may request. The Company agrees to pay to you, as consideration for the sale of each Note resulting from a solicitation made or an offer to purchase received by you, a commission in the form of a discount from the purchase price of such Note equal to between .125% and .750% (depending upon such Note's maturity) of the principal amount of such Note (provided that the commission for Notes having a maturity of 30 years or greater will be negotiated) or such other discount as may be specified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Note. You shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each offer to purchase Notes received by you as agent that in your judgment should be considered by the Company. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Notes and may reject any offer in whole or in part. You shall have the right to reject any offer to purchase Notes that you consider to be unacceptable, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of your agreements contained herein. The procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Notes sold by you as agent and the payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures (as hereinafter defined). (b) Purchases as Principal. Each sale of Notes to you as principal shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with each such sale, the Company will enter into a Terms Agreement that will provide for the sale of such Notes to and the purchase thereof by you. Each Terms Agreement will take the form of either (i) a written agreement between you and the Company, which may be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a "Written Terms Agreement"), or (ii) an oral agreement between you and the Company confirmed in writing by you to the Company. Your commitment to purchase Notes as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement 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 Notes to be purchased by you pursuant thereto, the maturity date of such Notes, the price to be paid to the Company for such Notes, the interest rate and interest rate formula, if any, applicable to such Notes and any other terms of such Notes. Each such Terms Agreement may also specify any requirements for officers' certificates, opinions of counsel and letters from the independent auditors of the Company pursuant to Section 4 hereof. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Notes by you. Each Terms Agreement shall specify the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Notes. Unless otherwise specified in a Terms Agreement, the procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Notes purchased by you as principal and the payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures. Each date of delivery of and payment for Notes to be purchased by you as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement is referred to herein as a "Settlement Date." Unless otherwise specified in a Terms Agreement, if you are purchasing Notes as principal you may resell such Notes to other dealers. Any such sales may be at a discount, which shall not exceed the amount set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Notes. (c) Administrative Procedures. You and the Company agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed in the Global Medium-Term Notes Administrative Procedures (attached hereto as Exhibit B) (the "Administrative Procedures"), as amended from time to time. The Administrative Procedures may be amended only by written agreement of the Company and you. (d) Delivery. The documents required to be delivered by Section 4 of this Agreement as a condition precedent to your obligation to begin soliciting offers to purchase Notes as agent of the Company shall be delivered at the office of Davis Polk & Wardwell, your counsel, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the date hereof, or at such other time and/or place as you and the Company may agree upon in writing, but in no event later than the day prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which you begin soliciting offers to purchase Notes and (ii) the first date on which the Company accepts any offer by you to purchase Notes as principal. The date of delivery of such documents is referred to herein as the "Commencement Date." 3. Agreements. The Company agrees with you that: (a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, the Company will not file any Prospectus Supplement relating to the Notes or any amendment to the Registration Statement unless the Company has previously furnished to you a copy thereof for your review and will not file any such proposed supplement or amendment to which you reasonably object; provided, however, that the foregoing requirement shall not apply to any of the Company's periodic filings with the Commission required to be filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 13(f), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, copies of which filings the Company will cause to be delivered to you promptly after being transmitted for filing with the Commission. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will promptly cause each Prospectus Supplement to be filed with or transmitted for filing to the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The Company will promptly advise you (i) of the filing of any amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus, (ii) of the filing and effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or notice of suspension of qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. If the Basic Prospectus is amended or supplemented as a result of the filing under the Exchange Act of any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, you shall not be obligated to solicit offers to purchase Notes so long as you are not reasonably satisfied with such document. (b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Notes is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event occurs or condition exists 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 to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in your opinion or in the opinion of the Company, it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, to comply with applicable law, the Company will immediately notify you by telephone (with confirmation in writing) to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes and, if so notified by the Company, you shall forthwith suspend such solicitation and cease using the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. If the Company shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, it shall so advise you promptly by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and, at its expense, shall prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, satisfactory in all respects to you, that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request. If any documents, certificates, opinions and letters furnished to you pursuant to paragraph (f) below and Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement are satisfactory in all respects to you, upon the filing with the Commission of such amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or upon the effectiveness of an amendment to the Registration Statement, you will resume the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3(b), until the distribution of any Notes you may own as principal has been completed, if any event described above in this paragraph (b) occurs, the Company will, at its own expense, forthwith prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, satisfactory in all respects to you, will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request and shall furnish to you pursuant to paragraph (f) below and Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) such documents, certificates, opinions and letters as you may request in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement. (c) The Company will make generally available to its security holders and to you as soon as practicable earning statements that satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder covering twelve month periods beginning, in each case, not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following the "effective date" (as defined in Rule 158 under the Securities Act) of the Registration Statement with respect to each sale of Notes. If such fiscal quarter is the last fiscal quarter of the Company's fiscal year, such earning statement shall be made available not later than 90 days after the close of the period covered thereby and in all other cases shall be made available not later than 45 days after the close of the period covered thereby. (d) The Company will furnish to you, without charge, a signed copy of the Registration Statement, including exhibits and all amendments thereto, and as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as you may reasonably request. (e) The Company will endeavor to qualify the Notes for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably request and to maintain such qualifications for as long as you shall reasonably request. (f) During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall furnish to you such relevant documents and certificates of officers of the Company relating to the business, operations and affairs of the Company, the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto, the Indentures, the Notes, this Agreement, the Administrative Procedures, any Terms Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder or thereunder as you may from time to time reasonably request. (g) The Company shall notify you promptly in writing of any downgrading, or of its receipt of any notice of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the Company's securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization," as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act. (h) The Company will, whether or not any sale of Notes is consummated, pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and any Terms Agreement, including: (i) the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Notes, (iii) the fees and disbursements of the Company's counsel and accountants and of the Trustees and their counsel, (iv) the qualification of the Notes under securities or Blue Sky laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(e), including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of your counsel in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of any Blue Sky or Legal Investment Memoranda, (v) the printing and delivery to you in quantities as hereinabove stated of copies of the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto and of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, (vi) the printing and delivery to you of copies of the Indentures and any Blue Sky or Legal Investment Memoranda, (vii) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the Notes, (viii) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred with respect to any filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (ix) the fees and disbursements of your counsel incurred in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes, including any opinions to be rendered by such counsel hereunder, and (x) any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by you; provided that any advertising expenses incurred by you shall have been approved by the Company. (i) During the period beginning on the date of any Terms Agreement and continuing to and including the Settlement Date with respect to such Terms Agreement, the Company will not, without your prior consent, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company substantially similar to such Notes (other than (i) the Notes that are to be sold pursuant to such Terms Agreement, (ii) Notes previously agreed to be sold by the Company and (iii) commercial paper issued in the ordinary course of business), except as may otherwise be provided in such Terms Agreement. 4.

With respect to subparagraph (J) of paragraph (b)(i) above, Jonathan M. Clark or such other counsel for the Company may state that his opinion and belief are based upon his participation, or the participation of someone under his supervision, in the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and documents incorporated therein by reference and review and discussion of the contents thereof, but are without independent check or verification, except as specified. With respect to clauses (2), (3) and (4) of subparagraph (J) of paragraph (b)(i) above, Davis Polk & Wardwell may state that their opinion and belief are based upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto (but not including documents incorporated therein by reference) and review and discussion of the contents thereof (including documents incorporated therein by reference), but are without independent check or verification, except as specified. (iii) The opinion, dated as of such date, of Shearman & Sterling, special counsel to the Company, to the effect that the statements set forth under the caption "United States Federal Taxation" in the Prospectus Supplement and under the caption "Limitations on Issuance of Bearer Debt Securities and Bearer Debt Warrants" in the Basic Prospectus, insofar as such statements relate to statements of law or legal conclusions under the laws of the United States or matters of United States law, fairly present the information called for and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein. The opinion of Shearman & Sterling, described in paragraph (b)(iii) above shall be rendered to you at the request of the Company and shall so state therein. (c) On the Commencement Date and, if called for by any Terms Agreement, on the corresponding Settlement Date, you shall have received a certificate, dated the Commencement Date or such Settlement Date, as the case may be, and signed by an executive officer of the Company to the effect set forth in subparagraph (a)(iii) above and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of such date and that the Company has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied on or before such date. The officer signing and delivering such certificate may rely upon the best of his knowledge as to proceedings threatened. (d) On the Commencement Date and, if called for by any Terms Agreement, on the corresponding Settlement Date, the Company's independent auditors shall have furnished to you a letter or letters, dated as of the Commencement Date or such Settlement Date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to you containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. (e) On the Commencement Date and on each Settlement Date, the Company shall have furnished to you such appropriate further information, certificates and documents as you may reasonably request. 5. Additional Agreements of the Company. (a) Each time the Registration Statement or Prospectus is amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedules or maturities offered on the Notes or for a change you deem to be immaterial), the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered forthwith to you a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Company, dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, in form reasonably satisfactory to you, of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in Section 4(c) relating to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such certificate. (b) Each time the Company furnishes a certificate pursuant to Section 5(a), the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished forthwith to you a written opinion of counsel for the Company. Any such opinion shall be dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, shall be in a form satisfactory to you and shall be of the same tenor as the opinion referred to in Section 4(b)(i), but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinion. In lieu of such opinion, counsel last furnishing such an opinion to you may furnish to you a letter to the effect that you may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such last opinion will be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter.) (c) Each time the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is amended or supplemented to set forth amended or supplemental financial information or such amended or supplemental information is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, the Company shall cause its independent auditors forthwith to furnish you with a letter, dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to you, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 4(d), with regard to the amended or supplemental financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the date of such letter. 6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless you and each person, if any, who controls you within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by you or any such controlling person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to you furnished to the Company in writing by you expressly for use therein. (b) You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to you, but only with reference to information relating to you furnished to the Company in writing by you expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto. (c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a) above, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) above. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. (d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein in connection with any offering of Notes, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and you on the other hand from the offering of such Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and you on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and you on the other hand in connection with the offering of such Notes shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by you in respect thereof. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of you on the other hand 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 relates to information supplied by the Company or by you and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (e) The Company and you agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, 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 Section 6, you shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes referred to in paragraph (d) above that were offered and sold to the public through you exceeds the amount of any damages that you have 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. (f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, its officers and you set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement or any such Terms Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of you or any person controlling you or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Notes. 7. Position of the Agent. In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the sale of any Notes by the Company (other than Notes sold to you pursuant to a Terms Agreement), you are acting solely as agent of the Company and do not assume any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with any purchaser of Notes. You shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Notes has been solicited by you and accepted by the Company, but you shall not have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason. If the Company shall default in its obligations to deliver Notes to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall hold you harmless against any loss, claim, damage or liability arising from or as a result of such default and shall, in particular, pay to you the commission you would have received had such sale been consummated. 8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time either by the Company or by you upon the giving of written notice of such termination to the other party hereto, but without prejudice to any rights, obligations or liabilities of either party hereto accrued or incurred prior to such termination. The termination of this Agreement shall not require termination of any Terms Agreement, and the termination of any such Terms Agreement shall not require termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated, the provisions of the third paragraph of Section 2(a), the last sentence of Section 3(b) and Sections 3(c), 3(h), 6, 7, 9, 11 and 13 shall survive; provided that if at the time of termination an offer to purchase Notes has been accepted by the Company but the time of delivery to the purchaser or its agent of such Notes has not occurred, the provisions of Sections 2(b), 2(c), 3(a), 3(b), 3(e), 3(f), 3(g), 3(i), 4 and 5 shall also survive until such delivery has been made. 9.

Counterparts.

The Series D Notes are intended to be listed on the London Stock Exchange Limited (the "London Stock Exchange") or on another stock exchange or exchanges, if so required by Section 3(i) hereof. The Series E Notes will not be listed on any stock exchange. The Notes may be issued as senior indebtedness (the "Senior Notes") or as subordinated indebtedness (the "Subordinated Notes") of the Company. The Senior Notes will be issued pursuant to the provisions of a senior indenture dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a first supplemental senior indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a second supplemental senior indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented and as may be further supplemented or amended from time to time, the "Senior Debt Indenture"), between the Company and Chemical Bank, as trustee (the "Senior Debt Trustee"). The Subordinated Notes will be issued pursuant to the provisions of a subordinated indenture dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a first supplemental subordinated indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a second supplemental subordinated indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented and as may be further supplemented or amended from time to time, the "Subordinated Debt Indenture"), between the Company and The First National Bank of Chicago, as trustee (the "Subordinated Debt Trustee").

The Company has initially appointed Chemical Bank, London Branch, at its principal office in London, as principal paying agent (the "Principal Paying Agent") for the Notes. The Notes will be issued in bearer form or in definitive registered form without coupons (the "Registered Notes"). The Notes issued in bearer form will be represented initially by a temporary global Note delivered to a common depositary outside the United States for the operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator") and Cedel Bank, societe anonyme ("Cedel"). Beneficial interests in a temporary global Note will be exchangeable for beneficial interests in a permanent global Note. Beneficial interests in a permanent global Note will be exchangeable in whole, but not in part, for definitive Notes in bearer form, with interest coupons attached upon receipt of the Principal Paying Agent of an initial request to so exchange by any holder of a beneficial interest in such permanent global Note (such temporary global Note, permanent global Note and definitive Notes in bearer form are collectively referred to as the "Bearer Notes"), or for Registered Notes. As used in this Agreement, the term "Note" includes any temporary global Note or permanent global Note issued pursuant to the Indentures.

In addition, you may also purchase Notes as principal pursuant to the terms of a terms agreement relating to such sale (a "Terms Agreement") in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(b) hereof. Notes denominated or payable in Deutsche Marks may only be offered and sold by the Company through Morgan Stanley Bank AG, the Deutsche Mark arranger, on an agency or principal basis. Morgan Stanley Bank AG agrees to notify the German Central Bank at the end of each month about the amounts, dates of issue and other terms of all Notes denominated or payable in Deutsche Marks offered and sold by Morgan Stanley Bank AG during the month in question. Notes denominated or payable in French Francs may only be offered and sold by the Company through Morgan Stanley S.A. on an agency or principal basis, and Morgan Stanley S.A. agrees to notify the French Tresor prior to the issuance of any such Notes. Notes denominated, payable in or indexed to Swiss Francs may only be offered and sold by the Company through Bank Morgan Stanley AG on an agency or principal basis, and Bank Morgan Stanley AG agrees to notify the Swiss National Bank prior to the issuance of any such Notes. The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement, including a prospectus, relating to the Notes. Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended at the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement." The Company proposes to file with the Commission from time to time, pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), supplements to the prospectus included in the Registration Statement that will describe certain terms of the Notes. The prospectus in the form in which it appears in the Registration Statement is hereinafter referred to as the "Basic Prospectus."

As used herein, the terms "Basic Prospectus" and "Prospectus" shall include in each case the documents, if any, incorporated by reference therein. The terms "supplement," "amendment" and "amend" as used herein shall include all documents deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus that are filed subsequent to the date of the Basic Prospectus by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). 1.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 1(b)(iii) and (iv), (g) (except as to due authorization of the Notes) and (h), when made as of the Commencement Date, or as of any date on which you solicit offers to purchase Notes, with respect to any Notes the payments of principal or interest on which will be determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, securities of entities unaffiliated with the Company, baskets of such securities, equity indices or other factors, shall be deemed not to address the application of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, or the rules, regulations or interpretations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. 2. Solicitations as Agents; Purchases as Principals. (a) Solicitations as Agents. In connection with your actions as agents hereunder, you agree to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to instruct you to suspend at any time, for any period of time or permanently, the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes. Upon receipt of at least one business day's prior notice from the Company, you will forthwith suspend solicitations of offers to purchase Notes from the Company until such time as the Company has advised you that such solicitation may be resumed. While such solicitation is suspended, the Company shall not be required to deliver any certificates, opinions or letters in accordance with Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c); provided, however, that if the Registration Statement or Prospectus is amended or supplemented during the period of suspension (other than by an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rates, redemption provisions, amortization schedules or maturities offered on the Notes or for a change you deem to be immaterial), you shall not be required to resume soliciting offers to purchase Notes until the Company has delivered such certificates, opinions and letters as you may request. The Company agrees to pay to you, as consideration for the sale of each Note resulting from a solicitation made or an offer to purchase received by you, a commission in the form of a discount from the purchase price of such Note equal to between .125% and .750% (depending upon such Note's maturity) of the principal amount of such Note (provided that the commission for Notes having a maturity of 30 years or greater will be negotiated) or such other discount as may be specified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Note. You shall communicate to the Company, orally or in writing, each offer to purchase Notes received by you as agent that in your judgment should be considered by the Company. The Company shall have the sole right to accept offers to purchase Notes and may reject any offer in whole or in part. You shall have the right to reject any offer to purchase Notes that you consider to be unacceptable, and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of your agreements contained herein. The procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Notes sold by you as agent and the payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures (as hereinafter defined). (b) Purchases as Principal. Each sale of Notes to you as principal shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with each such sale, the Company will enter into a Terms Agreement that will provide for the sale of such Notes to and the purchase thereof by you. Each Terms Agreement will take the form of either (i) a written agreement between you and the Company, which may be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a "Written Terms Agreement"), or (ii) an oral agreement between you and the Company confirmed in writing by you to the Company. Your commitment to purchase Notes as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement 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 Notes to be purchased by you pursuant thereto, the maturity date of such Notes, the price to be paid to the Company for such Notes, the interest rate and interest rate formula, if any, applicable to such Notes and any other terms of such Notes. Each such Terms Agreement may also specify any requirements for officers' certificates, opinions of counsel and letters from the independent auditors of the Company pursuant to Section 4 hereof. A Terms Agreement may also specify certain provisions relating to the reoffering of such Notes by you. Each Terms Agreement shall specify the time and place of delivery of and payment for such Notes. Unless otherwise specified in a Terms Agreement, the procedural details relating to the issue and delivery of Notes purchased by you as principal and the payment therefor shall be as set forth in the Administrative Procedures. Each date of delivery of and payment for Notes to be purchased by you as principal pursuant to a Terms Agreement is referred to herein as a "Settlement Date." Unless otherwise specified in a Terms Agreement, if you are purchasing Notes as principal you may resell such Notes to other dealers. Any such sales may be at a discount, which shall not exceed the amount set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Notes. (c) Administrative Procedures. You and the Company agree to perform the respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed in the Global Medium-Term Notes, Series D and Series E, Administrative Procedures (attached hereto as Exhibit B) (the "Administrative Procedures"), as amended from time to time. The Administrative Procedures may be amended only by written agreement of the Company and you. (d) Delivery. The documents required to be delivered by Section 4 of this Agreement as a condition precedent to your obligation to begin soliciting offers to purchase Notes as agent of the Company shall be delivered at the office of Davis Polk & Wardwell, your counsel, not later than 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the date hereof, or at such other time and/or place as you and the Company may agree upon in writing, but in no event later than the day prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which you begin soliciting offers to purchase Notes and (ii) the first date on which the Company accepts any offer by you to purchase Notes as principal. The date of delivery of such documents is referred to herein as the "Commencement Date." 3. Agreements. The Company agrees with you that: (a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, the Company will not file any Prospectus Supplement relating to the Notes or any amendment to the Registration Statement unless the Company has previously furnished to you a copy thereof for your review and will not file any such proposed supplement or amendment to which you reasonably object; provided, however, that the foregoing requirement shall not apply to any of the Company's periodic filings with the Commission required to be filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 13(f), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, copies of which filings the Company will cause to be delivered to you promptly after being transmitted for filing with the Commission. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will promptly cause each Prospectus Supplement to be filed with or transmitted for filing to the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The Company will promptly advise you (i) of the filing of any amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus, (ii) of the filing and effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Basic Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and (vi) of the issuance by any non-United States regulatory authority of any request for information relating to the Notes or suspension of the listing of the Notes on any stock exchange on which the Notes are then listed. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or notice of suspension of qualification or listing and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. If the Basic Prospectus is amended or supplemented as a result of the filing under the Exchange Act of any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, you shall not be obligated to solicit offers to purchase Notes so long as you are not reasonably satisfied with such document. (b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Notes is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or made available to purchasers of the Notes, any event occurs or condition exists 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 to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in your opinion or in the opinion of the Company, it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, to comply with applicable law, the Company will immediately notify you by telephone (with confirmation in writing) to suspend solicitation of offers to purchase Notes and, if so notified by the Company, you shall forthwith suspend such solicitation and cease using the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented. If the Company shall decide to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, it shall so advise you promptly by telephone (with confirmation in writing) and, at its expense, shall prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, satisfactory in all respects to you, that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance and will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request. If any documents, certificates, opinions and letters furnished to you pursuant to paragraph (e) below and Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement are satisfactory in all respects to you, upon the filing with the Commission of such amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or upon the effectiveness of an amendment to the Registration Statement, you will resume the solicitation of offers to purchase Notes hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3(b), until the distribution of any Notes you may own as principal has been completed, if any event described above in this paragraph (b) occurs, the Company will, at its own expense, forthwith prepare and cause to be filed promptly with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, satisfactory in all respects to you, will supply such amended or supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request and shall furnish to you pursuant to paragraph (e) below and Sections 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) such documents, certificates, opinions and letters as you may request in connection with the preparation and filing of such amendment or supplement. (c) The Company will make generally available to its security holders and to you as soon as practicable earning statements that satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder covering twelve month periods beginning, in each case, not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following the "effective date" (as defined in Rule 158 under the Securities Act) of the Registration Statement with respect to each sale of Notes. If such fiscal quarter is the last fiscal quarter of the Company's fiscal year, such earning statement shall be made available not later than 90 days after the close of the period covered thereby and in all other cases shall be made available not later than 45 days after the close of the period covered thereby. (d) The Company will furnish to you, without charge, a signed copy of the Registration Statement, including exhibits and all amendments thereto, and as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as you may reasonably request. (e) During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall furnish to you such relevant documents and certificates of officers of the Company relating to the business, operations and affairs of the Company, the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto, the Indentures, the Notes, this Agreement, the Administrative Procedures, any Terms Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder or thereunder as you may from time to time reasonably request. (f) The Company shall notify you promptly in writing of any downgrading, or of its receipt of any notice of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the Company's securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization," as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act. (g) The Company will, whether or not any sale of Notes is consummated, pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and any Terms Agreement, including: (i) the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, (ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the Notes, (iii) the fees and disbursements of the Company's counsel and accountants, the Trustees and their counsel and the Principal Paying Agent and its counsel and any paying agents for the Notes appointed by the Company, (iv) the fees and expenses incurred with respect to listing the Series D Notes on the London Stock Exchange or on another stock exchange or exchanges if so required by Section 3(i), (v) the printing and delivery to you in quantities as hereinabove stated of copies of the Registration Statement and all amendments thereto and of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, (vi) the printing and delivery to you of copies of the Indentures, (vii) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the Notes, (viii) the fees and expenses, if any, incurred with respect to any filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., (ix) the fees and disbursements of your counsel incurred in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes, including any opinions to be rendered by such counsel hereunder, and (x) any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by you; provided that any advertising expenses incurred by you shall have been approved by the Company. (h) During the period beginning on the date of any Terms Agreement and continuing to and including the Settlement Date with respect to such Terms Agreement, the Company will not, without your prior consent, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company substantially similar to such Notes (other than (i) the Notes that are to be sold pursuant to such Terms Agreement, (ii) Notes previously agreed to be sold by the Company and (iii) commercial paper issued in the ordinary course of business), except as may otherwise be provided in such Terms Agreement. (i) The Company will indemnify and hold you harmless against any documentary, stamp or similar transfer or issue tax, including any interest and penalties, on the issue of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on the exchange of any temporary global Notes for definitive Notes or permanent global Notes, or of any permanent global bearer Notes for definitive bearer Notes, that are or may be required to be paid under the laws of the United Kingdom, the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. (j) In connection with the application to list the Series D Notes on the London Stock Exchange, the Company will furnish from time to time any and all documents, instruments, information and undertakings and publish all advertisements or other material that may be necessary in order to effect such listing and will maintain such listing until none of the Series D Notes is outstanding or until such time as payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of all the Series D Notes has been duly provided for, whichever is earlier; provided, however, that if the Company can no longer reasonably maintain such listing, it will use its best efforts to obtain and maintain the quotation for, or listing of, the Series D Notes on such other stock exchange or exchanges as you shall reasonably request. In addition, for so long as the Series D Notes are listed on a stock exchange and such exchange so requires, the Company will maintain in London, or in such other place as the Series D Notes are listed (if the Series D Notes are no longer listed on the London Stock Exchange), a paying agent in respect of the Series D Notes. 4.

With respect to subparagraph (J) of paragraph (b)(i) above, Jonathan M. Clark or such other counsel for the Company may state that his opinion and belief are based upon his participation, or the participation of someone under his supervision, in the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and documents incorporated therein by reference and review and discussion of the contents thereof, but are without independent check or verification, except as specified. With respect to clauses (2), (3) and (4) of subparagraph (J) of paragraph (b)(i) above, Davis Polk & Wardwell may state that their opinion and belief are based upon their participation in the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto (but not including documents incorporated therein by reference) and review and discussion of the contents thereof (including documents incorporated therein by reference), but are without independent check or verification, except as specified.

In lieu of such opinion, counsel last furnishing such an opinion to you may furnish to you a letter to the effect that you may rely on such last opinion to the same extent as though it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such last opinion will be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter.) (c) Each time the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is amended or supplemented to set forth amended or supplemental financial information or such amended or supplemental information is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, the Company shall cause its independent auditors forthwith to furnish you with a letter, dated the date of such amendment or supplement, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to you, of the same tenor as the letter referred to in Section 4(d), with regard to the amended or supplemental financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented to the date of such letter. 6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless you and each person, if any, who controls you within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by you or any such controlling person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to you furnished to the Company in writing by you expressly for use therein. (b) You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to you, but only with reference to information relating to you furnished to the Company in writing by you expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto. (c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (a) above, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to paragraph (b) above. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. (d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein in connection with any offering of Notes, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and you on the other hand from the offering of such Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and you on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and you on the other hand in connection with the offering of such Notes shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of such Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by you in respect thereof. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of you on the other hand 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 relates to information supplied by the Company or by you and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (e) The Company and you agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, 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 Section 6, you shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes referred to in paragraph (d) above that were offered and sold to the public through you exceeds the amount of any damages that you have 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. (f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, its officers and you set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement or any such Terms Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of you or any person controlling you or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Notes. 7. Offering Restrictions. You hereby represent to the Company and agree with respect to the Notes that: (a)(1) you have not (i) offered or sold and during the Restricted Period (as defined below) will not offer or sell Bearer Notes (including any Note that is exchangeable for Bearer Notes) directly or indirectly in the United States (as defined below) or to or for the account of any United States person (as defined below), other than to a Qualifying Foreign Branch (as defined below) or to certain other persons as provided under United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(1)(iii)(B) and (C); and (ii) delivered and will not deliver within the United States definitive Bearer Notes that are sold during the Restricted Period; (2) you have, and throughout the Restricted Period will have, in effect procedures reasonably designed to ensure that your employees or agents who are directly engaged in selling Bearer Notes are aware that such Bearer Notes may not be offered or sold during the Restricted Period to a person who is within the United States or to a United States person, except as permitted by Section 7(a)(1)(i) above; (3) if you are a United States person, you are acquiring the Bearer Notes for purposes of resale in connection with their original issuance and if you retain Bearer Notes for your own account, you will only do so in accordance with the requirements of United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(6); (4) if you transfer to any affiliate Bearer Notes for the purpose of offering or selling such Bearer Notes during the Restricted Period, you will either (i) obtain from such affiliate for the benefit of the Company the representations and agreements contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) or (ii) repeat and confirm the representations and agreements contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) on such affiliate's behalf and obtain from such affiliate the authority to so obligate it; and (5) you will obtain for the benefit of the Company the representations and agreements contained in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) from any person other than your affiliate with whom you enter into a written contract, within the meaning of United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(4), for the offer or sale during the Restricted Period of Bearer Notes. For purposes of this Section 7(a), an offer or sale will be considered to be made in the United States if the offeror or seller of such Notes has an address within the United States for the offeree or purchaser of such Notes with respect to the offer or sale. As used in this Section 7(a), "United States person" means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, "United States" means the United States (including the States and the District of Columbia), its territories, its possessions and any other areas subject to its jurisdiction; "Qualifying Foreign Branch" means a branch of a United States financial institution, as defined in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.165-12(c)(1)(v), located outside the United States that is purchasing for its own account or for resale and that has agreed, as a condition to purchase, to comply with the requirements of Section 165(j)(3)(A), (B) or (C) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations thereunder; and "Restricted Period" with respect to each issuance means the period which begins on the earlier of the date on which the Company receives the proceeds of the sale of Notes with respect to such issuance or the first date on which the Notes are offered to persons other than you, and which ends 40 days after the date on which the Company receives the proceeds of the sale of such Notes; provided that with respect to a Note held as part of an unsold allotment or subscription, any offer or sale of such Note by the Company or you shall be deemed to be during the Restricted Period. (b) (1) In relation to Notes which have a maturity of one year or more and which are to be listed on the London Stock Exchange, you have not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any Notes to persons in the United Kingdom prior to admission of such Notes to listing in accordance with Part IV of the Financial Services Act 1986 (the "Act"), except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Act; (2) in relation to Notes which have a maturity of one year or more and which are not to be listed on the London Stock Exchange, you have not offered or sold and, prior to the expiry of the period of six months from the date of issue of such Notes, will not offer or sell any such Notes to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities Regulations 1995; (3) you have complied with and will comply with all applicable provisions of the Act with respect to anything done by you in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and (4) you have only issued or passed on and will only issue or pass on in the United Kingdom any document received by you in connection with the issue of the Notes, other than any document which consists of or any part of listing particulars, supplementary listing particulars or any other document required or permitted to be published by the listing rules under Part IV of the Act, to a person who is of a kind described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Act 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1995 or is a person to whom such document may otherwise lawfully be issued or passed on. (c) You will not offer or sell any Notes in any jurisdiction if such offer or sale would not be in compliance with any applicable law or regulation or if any consent, approval or permission is needed for such offer or sale by you or for or on behalf of the Company unless such consent, approval or permission has been previously obtained. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Section 7 above and subject to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the Company shall have no responsibility for, and you will obtain, any consent, approval or permission required by you for the subscription, offer, sale or delivery by you of Notes under the laws and regulations in force in any jurisdiction to which you are subject or in or from which you make any subscription, offer, sale or delivery.

Position of the Agent. In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the sale of any Notes by the Company (other than Notes sold to you pursuant to a Terms Agreement), you are acting solely as agent of the Company and do not assume any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with any purchaser of Notes. You shall make reasonable efforts to assist the Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase Notes has been solicited by you and accepted by the Company, but you shall not have any liability to the Company in the event any such purchase is not consummated for any reason.

The Board of Directors in any such resolution or resolutions is expressly authorized to state and express for such class or each such series: (i) Voting rights, if any, including, without limitation, the authority to confer multiple votes per share, voting rights as to specified matters or issues or, subject to the provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, voting rights to be exercised either together with holders of Common Stock as a single class, or independently as a separate class; (ii) The rate per annum and the times at and conditions upon which the holders of shares of such class or series shall be entitled to receive dividends, the conditions and dates upon which such dividends shall be payable and whether such dividends shall be cumulative or noncumulative, and, if cumulative, the terms upon which such dividends shall be cumulative; (iii) Redemption, repurchase, retirement and sinking fund rights, preferences and limitations, if any, the amount payable on shares of such class or series in the event of such redemption, repurchase or retirement, the terms and conditions of any sinking fund, the manner of creating such fund or funds and whether any of the foregoing shall be cumulative or noncumulative; 4 (iv) The rights to which the holders of the shares of such class or series shall be entitled upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; (v) The terms, if any, upon which the shares of such class or series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of stock of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes, including the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the terms of adjustment, if any; and (vi) Any other designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof so far as they are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation and to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Designation and Issuance. (A) The shares of such series shall be designated ESOP CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (hereinafter referred to as the "ESOP Preferred Stock") and such series shall consist of 3,902,438 shares. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased from time to time by resolution of the Pricing Committee of this Board of Directors (the "Pricing Committee"), but no such increase shall result in such series consisting of more than 4,000,000 shares, and no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to a number less than that of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of any rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation relating to such shares. Any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock redeemed or purchased by the Corporation shall remain issued and outstanding for all purposes (except that as long as such shares are held by the Corporation or its nominee, no dividends shall be paid on such shares and they shall neither be entitled to vote nor counted for quorum purposes) and may thereafter be transferred by the Corporation from time to time to a trustee or trustees referred to in paragraph (B) of this Section 1 (whereupon the voting and dividend rights of such shares shall be restored); provided that the Corporation may provide at the time of or at any time after such redemption or purchase that any such shares then held by the Corporation or its nominee shall be retired, and such shares shall then be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation. (B) Shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be issued only to a trustee or trustees acting on behalf of an employee stock ownership trust or plan or other employee benefit plan (a "Plan") of the Corporation. In the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition (hereinafter a "transfer") of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to any person (including, without limitation, any participant in the Plan) other than (x) any trustee or trustees of the Plan or (y) any pledgee of such shares acquiring such shares as security for any loan or - -------------------- * Terms defined in this Subpart A are so defined for purposes of this Subpart alone. 6 loans made to the Plan or to any trustee or trustees acting on behalf of the Plan, the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock so transferred, upon such transfer and without any further action by the Corporation or the holder, shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) and on the terms otherwise provided for the conversion of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 hereof and no such transferee shall have any of the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or special rights ascribed to shares of ESOP Preferred Stock hereunder, but, rather, only the powers and rights pertaining to the Common Stock into which such shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be so converted; provided, however, that in the event of a foreclosure or other realization upon shares of ESOP Preferred Stock pledged as security for any loan or loans made to the Plan or to the trustee or the trustees acting on behalf of the Plan, the pledged shares so foreclosed or otherwise realized upon shall be converted automatically into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price and on the terms otherwise provided for conversions of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 hereof. In the event of such a conversion, such transferee shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock into which the ESOP Preferred Stock shall have been converted as of the date of such conversion. Certificates representing shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be legended to reflect such restrictions on transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, shares of ESOP Preferred Stock (i) may be converted into shares of Common Stock as provided by Section 5 hereof and the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion may be transferred by the holder thereof as permitted by law and (ii) shall be redeemable by the Corporation upon the terms and conditions provided by Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof. 2. Dividends and Distributions. (A) (1) Subject to the provisions for adjustment hereinafter set forth, the holders of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock (other than the Corporation or its nominee) shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, cash dividends ("Preferred Dividends") payable in accordance with either of the following elections, as the Board of Directors shall elect from time to time in its absolute discretion: 7 (i) in an amount per share initially equal to $2.78 per share per annum, and no more (such amount, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, including during any period in which a Semiannual Payment Election (as defined below) shall be in effect, the "Annual Dividend Rate"), payable annually in arrears on December 31 (or such later date not more than four business days thereafter as the Board of Directors may from time to time elect in its absolute discretion; such date, the "Annual Payment Date") of each year (such election, the "Annual Payment Election") beginning on the Annual Payment Date occurring immediately after the effective date of such Annual Payment Election; or (ii) in an amount per share initially equal to $2.78 per share per annum, and no more (such amount, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, including during any period in which an Annual Payment Election is in effect, the "Semiannual Dividend Rate"; and the Semiannual Dividend Rate and the Annual Dividend Rate, as in effect at any time, are each hereinafter referred to as the "Preferred Dividend Rate"), semiannually in arrears, one-half on each June 30 and December 31 (or, in either case, such later date not more than four business days after either of such dates as the Board of Directors may from time to time elect in its absolute discretion; such dates, the "Semiannual Payment Dates") of each year (such election, the "Semiannual Payment Election"), beginning on the Semiannual Payment Date occurring immediately after the effective date of such Semiannual Payment Election; provided that any Semiannual Payment Election shall be made effective only during the period beginning on January 5 and ending on June 29 in each year. The Board of Directors shall give prompt notice to the holders of the ESOP Preferred Stock of any Semiannual Payment Election or Annual Payment Election and any election to alter any Dividend Payment Date pursuant to this Section 2(A)(1). Each Annual Payment Date or Semiannual Payment Date, as applicable, is hereinafter referred to as a "Dividend Payment Date", and each payment of a Preferred Dividend shall be made to holders of record at the opening of business on such Dividend Payment Date. (2) Preferred Dividends shall begin to accrue on outstanding shares of ESOP Preferred Stock from the date of issuance of such shares, except that with respect to any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock redeemed or purchased by the Corporation and then reissued, Preferred Dividends shall 8 accrue on such shares from their date of reissuance. Preferred Dividends shall accrue on a daily basis, whether or not the Corporation shall then have earnings or surplus (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months in case of any period less than one year) based on the Preferred Dividend Rate in effect on such date; provided that if a Semiannual Payment Election or an Annual Payment Election becomes effective on or after such date and before the immediately succeeding Dividend Payment Date, payments in respect of dividends on the ESOP Preferred Stock made on or after the effective date of such Semiannual Payment Election or Annual Payment Election and on or before such Dividend Payment Date shall be computed using the Preferred Dividend Rate in effect on the date of such payment. Accrued but unpaid Preferred Dividends shall cumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable, but no interest shall accrue on accumulated but unpaid Preferred Dividends. (B) So long as any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, no dividend shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any other series of stock ranking on a parity with the ESOP Preferred Stock as to dividends, unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the ESOP Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the ESOP Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such parity stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (1) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such parity stock, on the one hand, and (2) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the ESOP Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. If full cumulative dividends on the ESOP Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid or set apart for payment when due, the Corporation shall not declare or pay or set apart for payment any dividends or make any other distributions on, or make any payment on account of the purchase, redemption or other retirement of, any other class of stock or series thereof of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or upon dissolution, junior to the ESOP Preferred Stock until full cumulative dividends on the ESOP Preferred Stock shall have been paid or declared and set apart; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) any dividend or distribution payable solely in any shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, any stock ranking, as to dividends and upon dissolution, junior to the ESOP Preferred Stock or (ii) the acquisition of shares of any stock ranking, as to dividends and upon dissolution, junior to the ESOP Preferred Stock in 9 exchange solely for or by conversion solely into shares of any other stock ranking junior to the ESOP Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon dissolution. (C) Any dividend payment made on shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares. 3. Liquidation Preference. (A) In the event of any dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of any series or class or classes of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to ESOP Preferred Stock upon dissolution or liquidation, the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock (other than the Corporation or its nominee) shall be entitled to receive the Liquidation Price (as hereinafter defined) per share in effect at the time of dissolution or liquidation plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid on the ESOP Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to and shall not otherwise receive any further payments. The Liquidation Price per share that holders of ESOP Preferred Stock shall receive upon dissolution or liquidation shall be $35.875, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. If, upon any dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares ranking, as to dissolution or liquidation, on a parity with ESOP Preferred Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock and any such other shares ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of ESOP Preferred Stock and any such other shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 3, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more corporations, nor the sale, transfer, lease or exchange (for cash, shares of equity stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, nor the distribution to the stockholders of the Corporation of all or substantially all of the consideration for such sale, unless such consideration (apart from assumption of liabilities) or the net proceeds 10 thereof consists substantially entirely of cash, shall be deemed to be a dissolution or liquidation, voluntary or involuntary. (B) Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series or class or classes of stock ranking on a parity with or senior to ESOP Preferred Stock upon dissolution or liquidation, upon any dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock as provided in this Section 3, but not prior thereto, any other series or class or classes of stock ranking junior to ESOP Preferred Stock upon dissolution or liquidation shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets of the Corporation remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 4. Ranking and Voting of Shares. (A) The Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, and the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, shall rank on a parity with ESOP Preferred Stock as to dividends and as to distribution of assets upon dissolution or liquidation. Unless otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as the same may be amended, or in a Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences relating to any subsequent series of preferred stock, the ESOP Preferred Stock shall rank on a parity with all series of the Corporation's preferred stock as to dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution or liquidation. (B) The holders of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock (other than the Corporation or its nominee) shall have the following voting rights: (1) The holders of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation, voting together with the holders of Common Stock as one class. The holder of each share of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to 1.35 times the number of shares of Common 11 Stock into which such share of ESOP Preferred Stock could be converted on the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote; it being understood that whenever the "Conversion Price" (as defined in Section 5 hereof) is adjusted as provided in Section 9 hereof, the number of votes of the ESOP Preferred Stock shall also be correspondingly adjusted. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the governing body of the New York Stock Exchange or any other securities listing service or exchange (each, an "Exchange") or any relevant governmental or regulatory entity (each such entity, and each governing body of an Exchange, a "Regulating Entity") shall have disapproved of such voting power or taken or threatened any action against the Corporation or in respect of any of its securities in accordance with Rule 19c-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), or any other rule or listing standard of any Regulating Entity regarding the voting power of securities, or if the Board of Directors determines in its sole judgment that any Regulating Entity may so disapprove or take or threaten any such action, the holder of each share of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a maximum number of votes permissible (consistent with continued listing of the Corporation's securities on any such Exchange) in accordance with the interpretations of any such rule or listing standard by such Regulating Entity, as determined by the Board of Directors. (2) Except as otherwise required by law or set forth herein, holders of ESOP Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for the taking of any corporate action, including the issuance of any preferred stock now or hereafter authorized; provided, however, that the vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of ESOP Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series, shall be necessary to approve any alteration, amendment or repeal of any provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any alteration, amendment or repeal of any provision of the resolutions relating to the designation, preferences and rights of ESOP Preferred Stock (including any such alteration, amendment or repeal effected by any merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the surviving or resulting corporation, but not including any alteration or amendment of rights expressly provided for in Section (B)(1) above or in Section 2(A)(1)), if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of the ESOP Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely. 12 5. Conversion into Common Stock. (A) A holder of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled, at any time prior to the close of business on the date fixed for redemption of such shares pursuant to Section 6, 7 or 8 hereof, to cause any or all of such shares to be converted into shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of the ESOP Preferred Stock may be converted shall be determined by dividing the Liquidation Price in effect at the time of conversion by the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) in effect at the time of conversion. The initial Conversion Price per share at which shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion of any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be $35.875, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided; that is, a conversion rate initially equivalent to one share of Common Stock for each share of ESOP Preferred Stock, which is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. (B) Any holder of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock desiring to convert such shares into shares of Common Stock shall surrender, if certificated, the certificate or certificates representing the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto), or if uncertificated, a duly executed stock power relating thereto, at the principal executive office of the Corporation or the offices of the transfer agent for the ESOP Preferred Stock or such office or offices in the continental United States of an agent for conversion as may from time to time be designated by notice to the holders of the ESOP Preferred Stock by the Corporation or the transfer agent for the ESOP Preferred Stock, accompanied by written notice of conversion. Such notice of conversion shall specify (i) the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to be converted and the name or names in which such holder wishes the Common Stock and any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock not to be so converted to be issued, and (ii) the address to which such holder wishes delivery to be made of a confirmation of such conversion, if uncertificated, or any new certificates which may be issued upon such conversion, if certificated. (C) Upon surrender, if certificated, of a certificate representing a share or shares of ESOP Preferred Stock for conversion, or if uncertificated, of a duly executed stock power relating thereto, the Corporation shall issue and send by hand delivery (with receipt to be acknowledged) or by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the 13 holder thereof or to such holder's designee, at the address designated by such holder, if certificated, a certificate or certificates for, or if uncertificated, confirmation of, the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion. If there shall have been surrendered shares of ESOP Preferred Stock only part of which are to be converted, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder or such holder's designee, if certificated, a new certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock that shall not have been converted, or if uncertificated, confirmation of the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock that shall not have been converted. (D) The issuance by the Corporation of shares of Common Stock upon a conversion of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock made at the option of the holder thereof shall be effective as of the earlier of (i) the delivery to such holder or such holder's designee of the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, if certificated, or confirmation, if uncertificated, and (ii) the commencement of business on the second business day after the surrender of the certificate or certificates, if certificated, or a duly executed stock power, if uncertificated, for the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to be converted. On and after the effective date of conversion, the person or persons entitled to receive Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock, and no allowance or adjustment shall be made in respect of dividends payable to holders of Common Stock of record on any date prior to such effective date. The Corporation shall not be obligated to pay any dividend that may have accrued or have been declared but that is not payable to holders of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock if the Dividend Payment Date for such dividend is on or subsequent to the effective date of conversion of such shares. (E) The Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver to holders of ESOP Preferred Stock any fractional share or shares of Common Stock issuable upon any conversion of such shares of ESOP Preferred Stock, but in lieu thereof may make a cash payment in respect thereof in any manner permitted by law. (F) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock or treasury Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock as herein 14 provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock then outstanding. 6. Redemption at the Option of the Corporation. (A) The ESOP Preferred Stock shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Corporation at any time after September 19, 2000, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price per share equal to 100% of the Liquidation Price plus an amount equal to all accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption. Payment of the redemption price shall be made by the Corporation in cash or shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as permitted by paragraph (E) of this Section 6. From and after the date fixed for redemption, dividends on shares of ESOP Preferred Stock called for redemption will cease to accrue and all rights of the holder in respect of such shares shall cease, except the right to receive the redemption price. Upon payment of the redemption price, such shares shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Corporation, to be held as treasury shares or to be retired, in either case as provided in Section 1(A). If less than all of the outstanding shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall either redeem a portion of the shares of each holder determined pro rata based on the number of shares held by each holder or shall select the shares to be redeemed by lot, as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. (B) Notice of redemption will be sent to the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock at the address shown on the books of the Corporation or any transfer agent for ESOP Preferred Stock by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than twenty (20) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date or in any other manner provided by law. Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the total number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where certificates, if certificated, for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date; (vi) whether such redemption price should be paid in cash or in shares of Common Stock; and (vii) the conversion rights of the shares to be redeemed, the period within which conversion 15 rights may be exercised and the Conversion Price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of ESOP Preferred Stock at the time. Upon surrender of the certificates, if certificated, for any shares so called for redemption, or upon the date fixed for redemption, if uncertificated, such shares, if not previously converted, shall be redeemed by the Corporation as of the close of business on the date fixed for redemption and at the redemption price set forth in this Section 6. (C) The Corporation may, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph (A) of this Section 6, at any time within one year after either of the following events: (i) there shall be a change in the federal tax law or regulations of the United States of America or of an interpretation or application of such law or regulations or of a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that in any case has the effect of precluding the Corporation from claiming (other than for purposes of calculating any alternative minimum tax) any of the tax deductions for dividends paid on the ESOP Preferred Stock when such dividends are used as provided under Section 404(k)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as in effect on the date shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are initially issued, or (ii) the Corporation shall certify to the holders of the ESOP Preferred Stock that the Corporation has determined in good faith that the Plan either is not qualified as a "stock bonus plan" within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code or is not an "employee stock ownership plan" within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code, elect either to (a) redeem, out of funds legally available therefor, any or all of such ESOP Preferred Stock for cash or, if the Corporation so elects, in shares of Common Stock, or a combination of such shares of Common Stock and cash, as permitted by paragraph (E) of this Section 6, at a redemption price equal to (x) if the relevant event is as provided in clause (i) above, the Liquidation Price per share on the date fixed for redemption, plus an amount equal to accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption or (y) if the relevant event is as provided in clause (ii) above, an amount calculated on the basis of the redemption prices provided in paragraph (D) of this Section 6 on the date fixed for redemption or (b) 16 exchange any or all of such shares of ESOP Preferred Stock for securities of at least equal value (as determined by an independent appraiser) that constitute "qualifying employer securities" with respect to a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock within the meaning of Section 409(1) of the Code and Section 407(d)(5) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or any successor provisions of law. If the Corporation elects to redeem any or all of the ESOP Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (a) of the preceding sentence, notice of such redemption shall be given as required in paragraph (B) of this Section 6, and if the Corporation elects to exchange any or all of the ESOP Preferred Stock for securities of at least equal value pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence, it will cause notice of such election to be sent to the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock at the address shown on the books of the Corporation or any transfer agent for ESOP Preferred Stock by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than twenty (20) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of exchange or in any other manner required by law. Each notice shall state: (i) the exchange date; (ii) the total number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to be exchanged and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be exchanged, the number of shares held by such holder to be exchanged; (iii) the exchange rate; (iv) the place or places where certificates, if certificated, for such shares are to be surrendered for exchange; and (v) that dividends on the shares to be exchanged will cease to accrue on such exchange date. (D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph (A) of this Section 6, in the event that the Plan is, or contributions thereto are, terminated, the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, call for redemption any or all of the then outstanding ESOP Preferred Stock, upon notice as required in paragraph (B) of this Section 6, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price per share equal to the following percentages of the Liquidation Price in effect on the date fixed for redemption: 17
During the Twelve- Month Period Percentage of Beginning September 19, Liquidation Price ----------------------- ----------------- 1991 106.98 1992 106.20 1993 105.43 1994 104.65 1995 103.88 1996 103.10 1997 102.33 1998 101.55 1999 100.78 2000 100.00
and thereafter at 100%, plus, in each case, an amount equal to all accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption. Payment of the redemption price shall be made by the Corporation in cash or shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as permitted by paragraph (E) of this Section 6. From and after the date fixed for redemption, dividends on shares of ESOP Preferred Stock called for redemption will cease to accrue and all rights of the holder in respect of such shares shall cease, except the right to receive the redemption price. Upon payment of the redemption price, such shares shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Corporation, to be held as treasury shares or to be retired, in either case as provided in Section 1(A). (E) The Corporation, at its option, may make payment of the redemption price required upon redemption of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock in cash or in shares of Common Stock, or in a combination of such shares and cash, any such shares of Common Stock to be valued for such purpose at their Fair Market Value (as defined in paragraph 9(H)(2)); provided, however, that in calculating their Fair Market Value the Adjustment Period (as defined in paragraph 9(H)(2)) shall be deemed to be the five (5) consecutive trading days preceding the date of redemption. 7. Redemption at the Option of the Holder. (A) Unless otherwise provided by law, shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the option of the holder, at any time and from time to time upon notice to the Corporation given not less than five business days prior to the date fixed by the holder in such notice, when and to the extent necessary for such holder to 18 provide for distributions required to be made under, or to satisfy an investment election provided to participants in accordance with, the Plan or any successor plan or when the holder elects to redeem shares of ESOP Preferred Stock in connection with any Preferred Dividend (a "Dividend Redemption"), in shares of Common Stock legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to the higher of (x) the Liquidation Price per share on the date fixed for redemption and (y) the Fair Market Value (as defined in paragraph 9(H)(2)) of the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of ESOP Preferred Stock is convertible at the time the notice of such redemption is given, plus in either case an amount equal to accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption (such higher price on any date, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends, the "Special Redemption Price"). At the election of the Corporation, such redemption may instead be made out of funds legally available therefor in cash or a combination of Common Stock and cash. Any shares of Common Stock shall be valued for the purposes of redemption pursuant to this paragraph (A) as provided by paragraph (E) of Section 6. In the case of any Dividend Redemption, such holder shall give the notice specified above on the fifth business day after the related Dividend Payment Date and such redemption shall be effective as to such number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock as shall equal (x) the aggregate amount of such Preferred Dividends paid with respect to shares of ESOP Preferred Stock allocated or credited to the accounts of participants in the Plan or any successor plan that are used to repay any loan associated with such allocated or credited shares divided by (y) the Special Redemption Price specified above in this paragraph (A). (B) Unless otherwise provided by law, shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the option of the holder, at any time and from time to time upon notice to the Corporation given not less than five business days prior to the date fixed by the holder in such notice, upon certification by such holder to the Corporation of the following events: (i) when and to the extent necessary for such holder to make any payments of principal, interest or premium due and payable (whether voluntary, scheduled, upon acceleration or otherwise) upon any obligations of the trust established under the Plan in connection with the acquisition of ESOP Preferred Stock or any indebtedness, expenses or costs incurred by the holder for the benefit of the Plan; or (ii) when and if it shall be established to the satisfaction of the holder that the Plan 19 has not initially been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be qualified as a "stock bonus plan" and an "employee stock ownership plan" within the meaning of Section 401(a) or 4975(e)(7) of the Code, respectively, in shares of Common Stock legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Price plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption. At the election of the Corporation, such redemption may instead be made out of funds legally available therefor in cash or a combination of Common Stock and cash. Any shares of Common Stock shall be valued for the purposes of redemption pursuant to this paragraph (B) as provided by paragraph (E) of Section 6. 8. Consolidation, Merger, etc. (A) If the Corporation shall consummate any consolidation or merger or similar transaction, however named, pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are by operation of law exchanged solely for or changed, reclassified or converted solely into securities of any successor or resulting company (including the Corporation) that constitute "qualifying employer securities" with respect to a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock within the meanings of Section 409(l) of the Code and Section 407(d)(5) of ERISA, or any successor provision of law, and, if applicable, for a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, if any, then, in such event, the terms of such consolidation or merger or similar transaction shall provide that the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock of such holder shall be converted into or exchanged for and shall become preferred securities of such successor or resulting company, having in respect of such company insofar as possible (taking into account, without limitation, any requirements relating to the listing of such preferred securities on any national securities exchange or the qualification of such preferred securities for trading in any over-the-counter market) the same powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights (including the redemption rights provided by Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof), and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, that the ESOP Preferred Stock had immediately prior to such transaction; provided, however, that after such transaction each security into which the ESOP Preferred Stock is so converted or for which it is exchanged shall be convertible, pursuant to the terms and conditions provided by Section 5 hereof, into the number and kind of qualifying employer securities receivable by a holder equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of ESOP 20 Preferred Stock could have been converted pursuant to Section 5 hereof immediately prior to such transaction and provided further that if by virtue of the structure of such transaction, a holder of Common Stock is required to make an election with respect to the nature and kind of consideration to be received in such transaction, which election cannot practicably be made by the holders of the ESOP Preferred Stock, then such election shall be deemed to be solely for "qualifying employer securities" (together, if applicable, with a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) with the effect provided above on the basis of the number and kind of qualifying employer securities receivable by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock could have been converted pursuant to Section 5 hereof immediately prior to such transaction (it being understood that if the kind or amount of qualifying employer securities receivable in respect of each share of Common Stock upon such transaction is not the same for each such share, then the kind and amount of qualifying employer securities deemed to be receivable in respect of each share of Common Stock for purposes of this proviso shall be the kind and amount so receivable per share of Common Stock by a plurality of such shares). The rights of the ESOP Preferred Stock as preferred equity of such successor or resulting company shall successively be subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 9 hereof after any such transaction as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for by such Section prior to such transaction. The Corporation shall not consummate any such merger, consolidation or similar transaction unless all the terms of this paragraph (A) are complied with. (B) If the Corporation shall consummate any consolidation or merger or similar transaction, however named, pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are by operation of law exchanged for or changed, reclassified or converted into other shares or securities or cash or any other property, or any combination thereof, other than any such consideration which is constituted solely of qualifying employer securities that are common stock or common equity (as referred to in paragraph (A) of this Section 8) and cash payments, if applicable, in lieu of fractional shares or other interests, outstanding shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall, without any action on the part of the Corporation or any holder thereof (but subject to paragraph (C) of this Section 8), be automatically converted immediately prior to the consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect. 21 (C) If the Corporation shall enter into any agreement providing for any consolidation or merger or similar transaction described in paragraph (B) of this Section 8, then the Corporation shall as soon as practicable thereafter (and in any event at least ten (10) business days before consummation of such transaction) give notice of such agreement and the material terms thereof to each holder of ESOP Preferred Stock and each such holder shall have the right to elect, by written notice to the Corporation, to receive, upon consummation of such transaction (if and when such transaction is consummated), out of funds legally available therefor, from the Corporation or the successor of the Corporation, in redemption of such ESOP Preferred Stock, in lieu of any cash or other securities which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive under paragraph (B) of this Section 8, a cash payment equal to the Liquidation Price per share on the date fixed for such transaction, plus an amount equal to accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for such transaction. No such notice of redemption shall be effective unless given to the Corporation prior to the close of business of the fifth business day prior to consummation of such transaction, unless the Corporation or the successor of the Corporation shall waive such prior notice, but any notice or redemption so given prior to such time may be withdrawn by notice of withdrawal given to the Corporation prior to the close of business on the fifth business day prior to consummation of such transaction. 9. Anti-dilution Adjustments. (A) (1) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution in respect of the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, in each case whether by reclassification of shares, recapitalization of the Corporation (excluding a recapitalization or reclassification effected by a merger or consolidation to which Section 8 applies) or otherwise, then, in such event, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent legally permissible, declare a dividend in respect of the ESOP Preferred Stock in shares of ESOP Preferred Stock (a "Special Dividend") in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become a holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times a fraction (the 22 "Section 9(A) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. A Special Dividend declared pursuant to this Section 9(A)(1) shall be effective, upon payment of such dividend or distribution in respect of the Common Stock, as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (on a retroactive basis), and in the case of a subdivision shall become effective immediately as of the effective date thereof. Concurrently with the declaration of the Special Dividend pursuant to this paragraph 9(A)(1), the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate of all shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate, respectively, in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(A) Fraction. (2) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, whether by reclassification of shares, recapitalization of the Corporation (excluding a recapitalization or reclassification effected by a merger, consolidation or other transaction to which Section 8 applies) or otherwise, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall automatically be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(A) Fraction and the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate will not be adjusted. An adjustment to the Conversion Price made pursuant to this paragraph 9(A)(2) shall be given effect immediately as of the effective date of such combination. (B) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue to holders of shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution, including by way of a reclassification of shares or a recapitalization of the Corporation, any right or warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock (but not including as a right or warrant for this purpose any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) per share less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of issuance of such right or warrant (other than pursuant to any 23 employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted), then, in such event, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent legally permissible, declare a Special Dividend in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become a holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times a fraction (the "Section 9(B) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be acquired upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of warrants or rights plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance for the maximum aggregate consideration payable upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants. A Special Dividend declared pursuant to this Section 9(B) shall be effective upon such issuance of rights or warrants. Concurrently with the declaration of the Special Dividend pursuant to this Section 9(B), the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate of all shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate, respectively, in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(B) Fraction. (C) (1) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue, sell or exchange shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to (x) any right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (including as such a right or warrant any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) or (y) any employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted) at a purchase price per share less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange, then, in such event, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent legally permissible, declare a Special Dividend in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become the holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times a 24 fraction (the "Section 9(C)(1) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance, sale or exchange plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or exchanged and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance, sale or exchange plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance, sale or exchange for the maximum aggregate consideration paid therefor. (2) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event that the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any ESOP Preferred Stock is outstanding, issue, sell or exchange any right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (including as such a right or warrant any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock other than pursuant to (x) any employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted and (y) any dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock contemplated in Section 9(A)(1)) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value, on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange, less than the Non-Dilutive Amount (as hereinafter defined), then, in such event, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent legally permissible, declare a Special Dividend in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become the holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times a fraction (the "Section 9(C)(2) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be acquired upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance for the total of (x) the maximum aggregate consideration payable at the time of the issuance, sale or exchange of such right or warrant and (y) the maximum aggregate consideration payable upon exercise in full of all such rights or warrants. (3) A Special Dividend declared pursuant to this Section 9(C) shall be effective upon the effective date of 25 such issuance, sale or exchange. Concurrently with the declaration of the Special Dividend pursuant to this Section 9(C), the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate of all shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate, respectively, in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(C)(1) Fraction or Section 9(C)(2) Fraction, as the case may be. (D) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, make an Extraordinary Distribution (as hereinafter defined) in respect of the Common Stock, whether by dividend, distribution, reclassification of shares or recapitalization of the Corporation (including capitalization or reclassification effected by a merger or consolidation to which Section 8 does not apply) or effect a Pro Rata Repurchase (as hereinafter defined) of Common Stock, then, in such event, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent legally permissible, declare a Special Dividend in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become a holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times a fraction (the "Section 9(D) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase minus, in the case of Pro Rata Repurchase, the number of shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Corporation multiplied by (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the day before the ex-dividend date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid in cash and on the distribution date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid other than in cash, or on the applicable expiration date (including all extensions thereof) of any tender offer that is a Pro Rata Repurchase or on the date of purchase with respect to any Pro Rata Repurchase that is not a tender offer, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the day before the ex-dividend date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid in cash and on the distribution date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid other than in cash, or on the applicable expiration date 26 (including all extensions thereof) of any tender offer that is a Pro Rata Repurchase, or on the date of purchase with respect to any Pro Rata Repurchase that is not a tender offer, as the case may be, minus (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Extraordinary Distribution or the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, as the case may be. The Corporation shall send each holder of ESOP Preferred Stock (i) notice of its intent to make any Extraordinary Distribution and (ii) notice of any offer by the Corporation to make a Pro Rata Repurchase, in each case at the same time as, or as soon as practicable after, such offer is first communicated to holders of Common Stock or, in the case of an Extraordinary Distribution, the announcement of a record date in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading. Such notice shall indicate the intended record date and the amount and nature of such dividend or distribution, or the number of shares subject to such offer for a Pro Rata Repurchase and the purchase price payable by the Corporation pursuant to such offer, as well as the Conversion Price and the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of ESOP Preferred Stock may be converted at such time. Concurrently with the Special Dividend paid pursuant to this Section 9(D), the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate of all shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate, respectively, in effect immediately before such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase by the Section 9(D) Fraction. (E) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, the Corporation shall not be required to make (i) any Special Dividend or any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate unless such Special Dividend or adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding, or, (ii) if no additional shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are issued, any adjustment of the Conversion Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the Conversion Price. Any lesser Special Dividend or adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made no later than the time of, and together with, the next subsequent Special Dividend or adjustment which, together with any Special Dividend or Dividends, adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding or, if no additional shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are being issued, 27 an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price, whichever the case may be. (F) The Corporation and the Board of Directors shall each use its best efforts to take all necessary steps or to take all actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for declaration of any Special Dividend provided in any of paragraphs (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this Section 9, but shall not be required to call a special meeting of stockholders in order to implement the provisions thereof. If for any reason the Board of Directors is precluded from giving full effect to the Special Dividend provided in any of such paragraphs, then no such Special Dividend shall be declared, but instead the Conversion Price shall automatically be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the relevant event by the Section 9(A), Section 9(B), Section 9(C) or Section 9(D) Fraction, as applicable, and the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate will not be adjusted. An adjustment to the Conversion Price made pursuant to this paragraph (F) shall be given effect, (i) in the case of a payment of a dividend or distribution under Section 9(A), upon payment thereof as of the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (on a retroactive basis), and, in the case of a subdivision under Section 9(A), immediately as of the effective date thereof, (ii) in the case of Section 9(B), upon such issuance of rights or warrants, (iii) in the case of Section 9(C), upon the effective date of such issuance, sale or exchange and (iv) in the case of an Extraordinary Dividend under Section 9(D), as of the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such Extraordinary Dividend (on a retroactive basis), and, in the case of a Pro Rata Repurchase under Section 9(D), upon the expiration date thereof (if such Pro Rata Repurchase is a tender offer) or the effective date thereof (if such Pro Rata Repurchase is not a tender offer). If subsequently the Board of Directors is able to give full effect to the Special Dividend as provided in paragraph (A), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 9, then such Special Dividend will be declared and other adjustments will be made in accordance with the provisions of such paragraph and the adjustment in the Conversion Price as provided in this paragraph (F) will automatically be reversed and nullified prospectively. (G) If the Corporation shall make any dividend or distribution on the Common Stock or issue any Common Stock, other capital stock or other security of the Corporation or any rights or warrants to purchase or acquire any such 28 security, which transaction does not result in an adjustment to the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding or the Conversion Price pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, consider whether such action is of such a nature that some type of equitable adjustment should be made in respect of such transaction. If in such case the Board of Directors of the Corporation determines that some type of adjustment should be made, an adjustment shall be made effective as of such date as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The determination of the Board of Directors of the Corporation as to whether some type of adjustment should be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(G), and, if so, as to what adjustment should be made and when, shall be final and binding on the Corporation and all stockholders of the Corporation. The Corporation shall be entitled, but not required, to make such additional adjustments, in addition to those required by the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, as shall be necessary in order that any dividend or distribution in shares of capital stock of the Corporation, subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of the Corporation or any reclassification of the Corporation shall not be taxable to holders of the Common Stock. (H) For purposes hereof, the following definitions shall apply: (1) "Extraordinary Distribution" shall mean any dividend or other distribution to holders of Common Stock (effected while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding) of (i) cash or (ii) any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (other than shares of Common Stock), other securities of the Corporation (other than securities of the type referred to in paragraph (B) of this Section 9), evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation or any other person or any other property (including shares of any subsidiary of the Corporation), or any combination of the foregoing, where the aggregate amount of such cash dividend or other distribution together with the amount of all cash dividends and other distributions made during the preceding period of twelve months, when combined with the aggregate amount of all Pro Rata Repurchases (for this purpose, including only that portion of the aggregate purchase price of such Pro Rata Repurchase that is in excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock repurchased as determined on the applicable expiration date (including all extensions thereof) of any tender offer or exchange offer that is a Pro Rata Repurchase, or the date of purchase with respect to any 29 other Pro Rata Repurchase that is not a tender offer or exchange offer) made during such period, exceeds twelve and one-half percent (12-1/2%) of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all shares of Common Stock outstanding on the day before the ex-dividend date with respect to such Extraordinary Distribution that is paid in cash and on the distribution date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid other than in cash. The Fair Market Value of an Extraordinary Distribution for purposes of paragraph (D) of this Section 9 shall be the sum of the Fair Market Value of such Extraordinary Distribution plus the aggregate amount of any cash dividends or other distributions that are not Extraordinary Distributions made during such twelve-month period and not previously included in the calculation of an adjustment pursuant to paragraph (D) of this Section 9, but shall exclude the aggregate amount of regular quarterly dividends declared by the Board of Directors and paid by the Corporation in such twelve-month period. (2) "Fair Market Value" shall mean, as to shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital stock or securities of the Corporation or any other issuer that are publicly traded, the average of the Current Market Prices (as hereinafter defined) of such shares or securities for each day of the Adjustment Period (as hereinafter defined). "Current Market Price" of publicly traded shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital stock or other security of the Corporation or any other issuer for a day shall mean the last reported sales price, regular way, or, in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape or, if such security is not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which such security is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") National Market System or, if such security is not quoted on such National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market as reported by NASDAQ or, if bid and asked prices for such security on such day shall not have been reported through NASDAQ, the average of the bid and asked prices for such day as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in such security selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. "Adjustment Period" shall mean the period of five consecutive trading days, selected by the Board of Directors of the 30 Corporation, during the twenty (20) trading days preceding, and including, the date as of which the Fair Market Value of a security is to be determined. The "Fair Market Value" of any security that is not publicly traded or of any other property shall mean the fair value thereof as determined by an independent investment banking or appraisal firm experienced in the valuation of such securities or property selected in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or, if no such investment banking or appraisal firm is in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors available to make such determination, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. (3) "Non-Dilutive Amount" in respect of an issuance, sale or exchange by the Corporation of any right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (including any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) shall mean the difference between (i) the product of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the day preceding the first public announcement of such issuance, sale or exchange multiplied by the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be acquired on such date upon the exercise in full of such rights or warrants (including upon the conversion or exchange of all such convertible or exchangeable securities), whether or not exercisable (or convertible or exchangeable) at such date, and (ii) the aggregate amount payable pursuant to such right or warrant to purchase or acquire such maximum number of shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that in no event shall the Non-Dilutive Amount be less than zero. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, in the case of a security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, the amount payable pursuant to a right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock shall be the Fair Market Value of such security on the date of the issuance, sale or exchange of such security by the Corporation. (4) "Pro Rata Repurchase" shall mean any purchase of shares or Common Stock by the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof, whether for cash, shares of capital stock of the Corporation, other securities of the Corporation, evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation or any other person or any other property (including shares of a subsidiary of the Corporation), or any combination thereof, effected while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer subject to Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision of law, or pursuant to any other offer available to substantially all holders of Common Stock; 31 provided, however, that no purchase of shares by the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof made in open market transactions shall be deemed a Pro Rata Repurchase. For purposes of this Section 9(H), shares shall be deemed to have been purchased by the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof "in open market transactions" if they have been purchased substantially in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 as in effect under the Exchange Act on the date shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are initially issued by the Corporation or on such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have determined are reasonably designed to prevent such purchases from having a material effect on the trading market for the Common Stock. (I) Whenever an adjustment increasing the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding is required pursuant hereto, the Board of Directors shall take action as is necessary so that a sufficient number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are designated with respect to such increase resulting from such adjustment. Whenever an adjustment to the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock is required pursuant hereto, the Corporation shall forthwith place on file with the transfer agent for the Common Stock and the ESOP Preferred Stock, if there be one, and with the Treasurer of the Corporation, a statement signed by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation stating the adjusted Conversion Price, Liquidation Price and Preferred Dividend Rate determined as provided herein. Such statement shall set forth in reasonable detail such facts as shall be necessary to show the reason and the manner of computing such adjustments, including any determination of Fair Market Value involved in such computation. Promptly after each adjustment to the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding, the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate, the Corporation shall mail a notice thereof and of the then prevailing number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding, the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate to each holder of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock. 10. Miscellaneous. (A) All notices referred to herein shall be in writing, and all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three (3) business days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered mail (unless first-class mail shall be specifically permitted for such notice under the terms hereof) with postage prepaid, 32 addressed: (i) if to the Corporation, to its office at 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020 (Attention: Secretary) or to the transfer agent for the ESOP Preferred Stock, or other agent of the Corporation designated as permitted hereof or (ii) if to any holder of the ESOP Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, to such holder at the address of such holder as listed in the stock record books of the Corporation (which may include the records of any transfer agent for Common Stock) or (iii) to such other address as the Corporation or any such holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given. (B) The term "Common Stock" as used herein means the Corporation's Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, as the same exists at the date of filing of this Certificate of Designation pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to without par value, or from without par value to par value. In the event that, at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the holder of any shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock upon thereafter surrendering such shares for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares or other securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, the anti-dilution provisions contained in Section 9 hereof shall apply in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock, and the provisions of Sections 1 through 8 and 10 hereof with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like or similar terms to any such other shares or securities. (C) The Corporation shall pay any and all stock transfer and documentary stamp taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock or other securities issued on account of ESOP Preferred Stock pursuant thereto or certificates representing such shares or securities. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock or Common Stock or other securities in a name other than that in which the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock with respect to which such shares or other securities are issued or delivered were registered, or in respect of any payment to any person with respect to any shares or securities other than a payment 33 to the registered holder thereof, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid or is not payable. (D) In the event that a holder of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion or exchange of such shares should be registered or to whom payment upon redemption of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock should be made or the address to which the certificate or certificates representing such shares, or such payment, should be sent, the Corporation shall be entitled to register such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the holder of such ESOP Preferred Stock as shown on the records of the Corporation and to send the certificate or certificates or other documentation representing such shares, or such payment, to the address of such holder shown on the records of the Corporation. (E) The Corporation may appoint, and from time to time discharge and change, a transfer agent for the ESOP Preferred Stock. Upon any such appointment or discharge of a transfer agent, the Corporation shall send notice thereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of ESOP Preferred Stock. 34 Subpart B: 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock* 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value but with a stated value of $25.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The maximum number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 5,500,000. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 9.36% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, calculated as a percentage of the stated value, will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30, commencing August 30, 1991 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. - -------------------- * Terms defined in this Subpart B are so defined for purposes of this Subpart alone. 35 Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends). 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $25.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon 36 liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the 37 event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of 38 Incorporation (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to May 30, 1996. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $25.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. 39 If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 5, the Board reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares which constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: 40 (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.875 per share, the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, and the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 41 Subpart C: 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock* 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The maximum number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 975,000. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 8.88% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, calculated as a percentage of the stated value, will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30, commencing February 28, 1992 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid - --------------------- * Terms defined in this Subpart C are so defined for purposes of this Subpart alone. 42 through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation for any consideration or any payment by the Corporation be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment; and provided further that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and 43 accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and an amount equal to such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members 44 of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or 45 (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to November 30, 1996. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. 46 If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. All shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be retired and cancelled and shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series, and may thereafter be issued. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 47 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. 48 The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.875 per share, the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, and the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 49 Subpart D: 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock* 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 750,000. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 8-3/4% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, calculated as a percentage of the stated value, will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30, commencing May 30, 1992 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the - -------------------- * Terms defined in this Subpart D are so defined for purposes of this Subpart alone. 50 Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation for any consideration or any payment by the Corporation be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment; and provided further that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred 51 Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and an amount equal to such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of 52 stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or 53 (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to May 30, 1997. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. 54 If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. All shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be retired and cancelled and shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series, and may thereafter be issued. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 55 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. 56 The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.875 per share, the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, and the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 57 PART II -- COMMON STOCK (a) Dividends. Subject to the preferential dividend rights applicable to shares of any class or series of stock having preference over the Common Stock as to dividends, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors and shall share equally, share for share alike, in such dividends. (b) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after distribution in full of the preferential amounts to be distributed to the holders of shares of any class or series of stock having preference over the Common Stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of the Common Stock held. (c) Voting. Each share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. The holders of the shares of Common Stock shall at all times, except as otherwise provided in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or required by law, vote as one class, together with the holders of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation accorded such general class voting right. SECTION 3. Definitions.

SECTION 7. Other Powers. The By-Laws of the Corporation may confer upon the Board of Directors powers in addition to the foregoing and in addition to the powers and authorities expressly conferred upon them by law, but only to the extent permitted by law and not prohibited by the provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. ARTICLE VI INDEMNIFICATION The Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any manner in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person (1) is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or a Subsidiary or (2) is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or a Subsidiary as a director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, committee or other enterprise. To the extent deemed advisable by the Board of Directors, the Corporation may indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any manner in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that the person is or was an employee or agent (other than a director or officer) of the Corporation or a Subsidiary. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or a Subsidiary as a director, officer, partner, 61 member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, committee or other enterprise, against any expense, liability or loss asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation or a Subsidiary would have the power to indemnify him against such expense, liability or loss under the provisions of applicable law. No repeal, modification or amendment of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, this Article VI nor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any modification of law shall adversely affect any right or protection of any person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or with respect to events that occurred prior to, the time of such repeal, amendment, adoption or modification.

The payment of any amounts to any director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent pursuant to this Article VI shall subrogate the Corporation to any right such director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent may have against any other person or entity. The rights conferred in this Article VI shall be contract rights.

Greenhill (Seal) ---------------------------- Robert F. Greenhill President Attest: /s/ Patricia A. Kurtz - ------------------------- Patricia A. Kurtz Assistant Secretary CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. (Pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC., a Delaware corporation, HEREBY CERTIFIES AS FOLLOWS; 1. The name of the Corporation is Morgan Stanley Group Inc. The date of filing of its original Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware was July 10, 1975. The date of filing of the most recent Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware was September 15, 1992. 2. This Certificate of Amendment sets forth amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation that were duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. 3. Article IV, Section 2, Part I, Subpart A, Section 1(A) of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended in full to be and read as follows: (A) The shares of such series shall be designated ESOP CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (hereinafter referred to as the "ESOP Preferred Stock") and such series shall consist of 3,902,438 shares. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased from time to time by resolution of the Pricing Committee of this Board of Directors (the "Pricing Committee"), but no such increase shall result in such series consisting of more than 4,000,000 shares, and no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to a number less than that of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of any rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation relating to such shares. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors may increase the number of shares of ESOP 2 Preferred Stock to a number greater than 4,000,000 shares, or may decrease the number of such shares, subject only to any limitations imposed by applicable law or this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock redeemed or purchased by the Corporation shall remain issued and outstanding for all purposes (except that as long as such shares are held by the Corporation or its nominee, no dividends shall be paid on such shares and they shall neither be entitled to vote nor counted for quorum purposes) and may thereafter be transferred by the Corporation from time to time to a trustee or trustees referred to in paragraph (B) of this Section 1 (whereupon the voting and dividend rights of such shares shall be restored); provided that the Corporation may provide at the time of or at any time after such redemption or purchase that any such shares then held by the Corporation or its nominee shall be retired, and such shares shall then be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation. 4. Article IV, Section 2, Part I, Subpart A, Section 9, Paragraphs (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G) and (I) of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation are hereby amended in full to be and read as follows: (A)(1) In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution in respect of the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, in each case whether by reclassification of shares, recapitalization of the Corporation (excluding a recapitalization or reclassification effected by a merger or consolidation to which Section 8 applies) or otherwise, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing such Conversion Price by a fraction (the "Section 9(A) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Such adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be effective, upon payment of such dividend or distribution in respect of the Common Stock, as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (on a 3 retroactive basis), and in the case of a subdivision shall become effective immediately as of the effective date thereof. An adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 9(A)(1) shall have no effect on the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock. (2) In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, whether by reclassification of shares, recapitalization of the Corporation (excluding a recapitalization or reclassification effected by a merger, consolidation or other transaction to which Section 8 applies) or otherwise, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraph (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(A) Fraction. An adjustment to the Conversion Price made pursuant to this paragraph 9(A)(2) shall be given effect immediately as of the effective date of such combination and shall have no effect on the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock. (B) In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue to holders of shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution, including by way of a reclassification of shares or a recapitalization of the Corporation, any right or warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock (but not including as a right or warrant for this purpose any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) per share less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of issuance of such right or warrant (other than pursuant to any employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted), then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing such Conversion Price by a fraction (the "Section 9(B) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the maximum 4 number of shares of Common Stock that could be acquired upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of warrants or rights plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance for the maximum aggregate consideration payable upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants. Such adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be effective upon such issuance of rights or warrants. An adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 9(B) shall have no effect on the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock. (C)(1) In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue, sell or exchange shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to (x) any right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (including as such a right or warrant for this purpose any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) or (y) any employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted) at a purchase price per share less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing such Conversion Price by a fraction (the "Section 9(C)(1) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance, sale or exchange plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or exchanged and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance, sale or exchange plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance, sale or exchange for the maximum aggregate consideration paid therefor. (2) In the event that the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any ESOP Preferred Stock is outstanding, issue, sell or exchange any right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (including as such a right or warrant for this purpose 5 any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock other than pursuant to any employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value, on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange, less than the Non-Dilutive Amount (as hereinafter defined), then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing such Conversion Price by a fraction (the "Section 9(C)(2) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be acquired upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance for the total of (x) the maximum aggregate consideration payable at the time of the issuance, sale or exchange of such right or warrant and (y) the maximum aggregate consideration payable upon exercise in full of all such rights or warrants. (3) An adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 9(C) shall be effective upon the effective date of any issuance, sale or exchange described in paragraph (1) or (2) above. Any such adjustment shall have no effect on the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock. (D) In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, make an Extraordinary Distribution (as hereinafter defined) in respect of the Common Stock, whether by dividend, distribution, reclassification of shares or recapitalization of the Corporation (including capitalization or reclassification effected by a merger or consolidation to which Section 8 does not apply) or effect a Pro Rata Repurchase (as hereinafter defined) of Common Stock, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing such Conversion 6 Price by a fraction (the "Section 9(D) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase minus, in the case of a Pro Rata Repurchase, the number of shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Corporation multiplied by (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the day before the ex-dividend date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid in cash and on the distribution date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid other than in cash, or on the applicable expiration date (including all extensions thereof) of any tender offer that is a Pro Rata Repurchase or on the date of purchase with respect to any Pro Rata Repurchase that is not a tender offer, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the day before the ex-dividend date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid in cash and on the distribution date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid other than in cash, or on the applicable expiration date (including all extensions thereof) of any tender offer that is a Pro Rata Repurchase, or on the date of purchase with respect to any Pro Rata Repurchase that is not a tender offer, as the case may be, minus (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Extraordinary Distribution or the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, as the case may be. The Corporation shall send each holder of ESOP Preferred Stock (i) notice of its intent to make any Extraordinary Distribution and (ii) notice of any offer by the Corporation to make a Pro Rata Repurchase, in each case at the same time as, or as soon as practicable after, such offer is first communicated to holders of Common Stock or, in the case of an Extraordinary Distribution, the announcement of a record date in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading. Such notice shall indicate the intended record date and the amount and nature of such dividend or distribution, or the number of shares subject to such offer for a Pro Rata Repurchase and the purchase price payable by the Corporation pursuant to such offer, as well as the Conversion Price and the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of ESOP Preferred Stock may be converted at such time. An adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to 7 this Section 9(D) shall be effective (i) in the case of an Extraordinary Dividend as of the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such Extraordinary Dividend (on a retroactive basis) and (ii) in the case of a Pro Rata Repurchase upon the expiration date thereof (if such Pro Rata Repurchase is a tender offer) or the effective date thereof (if such Pro Rata Repurchase is not a tender offer). Any such adjustment shall have no effect on the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock. (E) The Board of Directors shall have the authority to determine that any adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in paragraph (A)(1), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 9 shall not be made (or if already made, to determine that such adjustment shall be cancelled prospectively), and in lieu thereof to declare a dividend in respect of the ESOP Preferred Stock in shares of ESOP Preferred Stock (a "Special Dividend") in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become a holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times the Section 9(A), Section 9(B), Section 9(C)(1), Section 9(C)(2) or Section 9(D) Fraction, as applicable. The declaration of such a Special Dividend shall be authorized, if at all, by the Board of Directors no later than 30 calendar days following the authorization by the Board of Directors (or by a committee duly authorized by the Board of Directors) of the transaction or other event described in any of the foregoing paragraphs (A)(1), (B), (C) or (D) that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price being made pursuant to any such paragraphs, and if the Board of Directors does not authorize the declaration of a Special Dividend by the end of such 30-day period, then no such Special Dividend shall be declared and the adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in paragraph (A)(1), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 9 shall become final and binding on the Corporation and all stockholders of the Corporation. Concurrently with the declaration of any Special Dividend pursuant to this paragraph (E), the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate of all shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate, respectively, in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(A), Section 9(B), Section 9(C)(1), Section 9(C)(2) or Section 9(D) Fraction, as applicable. 8 (F) Unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, any adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in any of paragraphs (A), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 9 shall not be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the Conversion Price and, similarly, the Board of Directors shall not declare any Special Dividend pursuant to paragraph (E) of this Section 9 unless such Special Dividend or adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding. Any lesser adjustment to the Conversion Price or Special Dividend shall be carried forward and shall be made no later than the time of, and together with, the next subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Price or Special Dividend which, together with any adjustment or adjustments or Special Dividend or Dividends so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price or an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding, whichever the case may be. (G) If the Corporation shall make any dividend or distribution on the Common Stock or issue any Common Stock, other capital stock or other security of the Corporation or any rights or warrants to purchase or acquire any such security, which transaction does not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price or to the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, consider whether such action is of such a nature that some type of equitable adjustment should be made in respect of such transaction. If in such case the Board of Directors of the Corporation determines that some type of adjustment should be made, an adjustment shall be made effective as of such date as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The determination of the Board of Directors of the Corporation as to whether some type of adjustment should be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(G), and, if so, as to what adjustment should be made and when, shall be final and binding on the Corporation and all stockholders of the Corporation. The Corporation shall be entitled, but not required, to make such additional adjustments, in addition to those required by the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, as shall be necessary in order that any dividend or 9 distribution in shares of capital stock of the Corporation, subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of the Corporation or any reclassification of the Corporation shall not be taxable to holders of the Common Stock. * * * (I) Whenever an adjustment to the Conversion Price of the ESOP Preferred Stock is required pursuant to this Section 9, the Corporation shall forthwith place on file with the transfer agent for the Common Stock and the ESOP Preferred Stock, if there be one, and with the Treasurer of the Corporation, a statement signed by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation stating the adjusted Conversion Price determined as provided herein. In addition, whenever a Special Dividend is declared pursuant to paragraph (E) of this Section 9, (i) the maximum number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying 4,000,000 (or such other number as shall be the maximum number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock in effect prior to the authorization of such Special Dividend) by the Section 9(A), Section 9(B), Section 9(C)(1), Section 9(C)(2) or Section 9(D) Fraction, as the case may be, (ii) the Board of Directors shall take action as is necessary so that a sufficient number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are designated with respect to any increase in the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to be outstanding as a result of such Special Dividend and (iii) the Corporation shall forthwith place on file with the transfer agent for the Common Stock and the ESOP Preferred Stock, if there be one, and with the Treasurer of the Corporation, a statement signed by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation stating the adjusted maximum number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock, Conversion Price, Liquidation Price and Preferred Dividend Rate determined as provided herein. The statement required by either of the two preceding sentences shall set forth in reasonable detail such facts as shall be necessary to show the reason and the manner of computing such adjustments, including any determination of Fair Market Value involved in such computation. Promptly after each adjustment to the maximum number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock, Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price, the Preferred Dividend Rate, or the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding, the Corporation shall mail a notice thereof and of the then prevailing maximum number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock, Conversion Price, Liquidation Price, Preferred Dividend Rate and 10 number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding to each holder of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock.

Clark - -------------------------- Name: Jonathan M. Clark Title: General Counsel and Secretary CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF THE 7-3/8% CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK ($200.00 Stated Value) OF MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. ______________________________ Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ______________________________ The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Morgan Stanley Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting dated as of July 27, 1993, with certain of the designations, preferences and rights having been fixed by the Pricing Committee of the Board (the "Committee") at a meeting on August 18, 1993, pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware: RESOLVED that, pursuant to authority expressly granted to and vested in the Committee by the Board and in the Board by provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"), which shall consist of 1,000,000 of the 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock which the Corporation now has authority to issue, is authorized, and the Board and, pursuant to the authority expressly granted to the Committee by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Certificate of Incorporation, the Committee, fix the powers, 2 designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series (in addition to the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which may be applicable to the Preferred Stock) as follows: 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 1,000,000. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 7-3/8% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, calculated as a percentage of the stated value, will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30 commencing November 30, 1993 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends 3 unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund, regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment) by the Corporation; provided that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking 4 junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends, shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining 6 director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with 7 respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to August 30, 1998. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock 8 so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: 9 (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible 10 Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share.

Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 7.82% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The maximum number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 682,813. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 7.82% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative 3 Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund, regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment) by the Corporation; provided that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to 4 rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends, shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining 6 director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with 7 respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption Shares. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to November 30, 1998. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock 8 so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: 9 (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible 10 Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and the Corporation's 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share.

Kurtz - ----------------------------- Assistant Secretary CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF THE 7.80% CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK ($200.00 Stated Value) OF MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. ------------------------------- Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ------------------------------- The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Morgan Stanley Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting dated as of October 29, 1993, with certain of the designations, preferences and rights having been fixed by the Pricing Committee of the Board (the "Committee") at a meeting on February 1, 1994, pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware: RESOLVED that, pursuant to authority expressly granted to and vested in the Committee by the Board and in the Board by provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"), which shall consist of 1,150,000 of the 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock which the Corporation now has authority to issue, is authorized, and the Board and, pursuant to the authority expressly granted to the Committee by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Certificate of Incorporation, the Committee, fix the powers, 2 designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series (in addition to the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which may be applicable to the Preferred Stock) as follows: 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 7.80% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The maximum number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 1,150,000. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 7.80% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative 3 Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund, regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment) by the Corporation; provided that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to 4 rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends, shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining 6 director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with 7 respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption Shares. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stocks books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to February 28, 1999. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock 8 so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9.

The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible 10 Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, the Corporation's 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and, if issued, the Corporation's 7.82% Cumulative Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share.

If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant 5 for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two- thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would 6 otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption Shares. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred ----------------- Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to February 28, 2000. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the 7 payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent ---------------------------------------------- of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each ----------------------- reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of ---- any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity ------ Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity --------------- with the shares of 8 Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with (i) the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, (ii) the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, (iii) the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (iv) the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (v) the Corporation's 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (vi) if issued, the Corporation's 7.82% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and (vii) if issued, the Corporation's 7.80% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 9 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Morgan Stanley Group Inc. has caused this Certificate to be made under the seal of the Corporation and signed by Richard B.

Kurtz Title: Assistant Secretary CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF THE 8.40% CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK ($200.00 Stated Value) OF MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. ---------- Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ---------- The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Morgan Stanley Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting dated as of April 12, 1995 with certain of the designations, preferences and rights having been fixed by the Pricing Committee of the Board (the "Committee") at a meeting on July 27, 1995, pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware: RESOLVED that, pursuant to authority expressly granted to and vested in the Committee by the Board and in the Board by provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"), which shall consist of 1,006,250 of the 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock which the Corporation now has authority to issue, is authorized, and the Board and, pursuant to the authority expressly granted to the Committee by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Certificate of Incorporation, the Committee fix the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series (in addition to the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set 2 forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which may be applicable to the Preferred Stock) as follows: 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 8.40% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The total number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 1,006,250. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 8.40% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the 3 Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund, regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment) by the Corporation; provided that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders 4 ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends, shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant 5 for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of 6 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption Shares. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to August 30, 2000. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and 8 (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with (i) the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, (ii) the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, (iii) the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (iv) the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (v) the Corporation's 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (vi) if issued, the Corporation's 7.82% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (vii) if issued, the Corporation's 7.80% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and (viii) if issued, the Corporation's 9.00% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 9 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Morgan Stanley Group Inc. has caused this Certificate to be made under the seal of the Corporation and signed by Richard B.

The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the 3 Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund, regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment) by the Corporation; provided that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders 4 ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends, shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant 5 for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of 6 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption Shares. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to November 30, 2000. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and 8 (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with (i) the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, (ii) the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, (iii) the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (iv) the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (v) the Corporation's 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (vi) if issued, the Corporation's 7.82% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (vii) if issued, the Corporation's 7.80% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share (viii) if issued, the Corporation's 9.00% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and (ix) if issued, the Corporation's 8.40% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 9 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Morgan Stanley Group Inc. has caused this Certificate to be made under the seal of the Corporation and signed by Richard B.

The designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in respect of the classes of the capital stock, and the authority with respect thereto expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation, are as follows: PART I -- PREFERRED STOCK (a) The Preferred Stock may be issued either as a class without series or, if so determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, from time to time in one or more series and with such designation for such class or each such series as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or each such series adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors in any such resolution or resolutions is expressly authorized to state and express for such class or each such series: (i) Voting rights, if any, including, without limitation, the authority to confer multiple votes per share, voting rights as to specified matters or issues or, subject to the provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, voting rights to be exercised either together with holders of Common Stock as a single class, or independently as a separate class; (ii) The rate per annum and the times at and conditions upon which the holders of shares of such class or series shall be entitled to receive dividends, the conditions and dates upon which such dividends shall be payable and whether such dividends shall be cumulative or noncumulative, and, if cumulative, the terms upon which such dividends shall be cumulative; (iii) Redemption, repurchase, retirement and sinking fund rights, preferences and limitations, if any, the amount payable on shares of such class or series in the event of such redemption, repurchase or retirement, the terms and conditions of any sinking fund, the manner of creating such fund or funds and whether any of the foregoing shall be cumulative or noncumulative; 4 (iv) The rights to which the holders of the shares of such class or series shall be entitled upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; (v) The terms, if any, upon which the shares of such class or series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of stock of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes, including the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the terms of adjustment, if any; and (vi) Any other designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof so far as they are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation and to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. (b) All shares of the Preferred Stock, if issued as a class without series, or all shares of the Preferred Stock of any one series, if issued in series, shall be identical to each other in all respects and shall entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and privileges, except that shares of any one series issued at different times may differ as to the dates from which dividends thereon, if cumulative, shall be cumulative. 5 Subpart A: ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock* 1. Designation and Issuance. (A) The shares of such series shall be designated ESOP CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (hereinafter referred to as the "ESOP Preferred Stock") and such series shall consist of 3,902,438 shares. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased from time to time by resolution of the Pricing Committee of this Board of Directors (the "Pricing Committee"), but no such increase shall result in such series consisting of more than 4,000,000 shares, and no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to a number less than that of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of any rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation relating to such shares. Any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock redeemed or purchased by the Corporation shall remain issued and outstanding for all purposes (except that as long as such shares are held by the Corporation or its nominee, no dividends shall be paid on such shares and they shall neither be entitled to vote nor counted for quorum purposes) and may thereafter be transferred by the Corporation from time to time to a trustee or trustees referred to in paragraph (B) of this Section 1 (whereupon the voting and dividend rights of such shares shall be restored); provided that the Corporation may provide at the time of or at any time after such redemption or purchase that any such shares then held by the Corporation or its nominee shall be retired, and such shares shall then be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation. (B) Shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be issued only to a trustee or trustees acting on behalf of an employee stock ownership trust or plan or other employee benefit plan (a "Plan") of the Corporation. In the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition (hereinafter a "transfer") of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to any person (including, without limitation, any participant in the Plan) other than (x) any trustee or trustees of the Plan or (y) any pledgee of such shares acquiring such shares as security for any loan or - -------------------- * Terms defined in this Subpart A are so defined for purposes of this Subpart alone. 6 loans made to the Plan or to any trustee or trustees acting on behalf of the Plan, the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock so transferred, upon such transfer and without any further action by the Corporation or the holder, shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) and on the terms otherwise provided for the conversion of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 hereof and no such transferee shall have any of the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or special rights ascribed to shares of ESOP Preferred Stock hereunder, but, rather, only the powers and rights pertaining to the Common Stock into which such shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be so converted; provided, however, that in the event of a foreclosure or other realization upon shares of ESOP Preferred Stock pledged as security for any loan or loans made to the Plan or to the trustee or the trustees acting on behalf of the Plan, the pledged shares so foreclosed or otherwise realized upon shall be converted automatically into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price and on the terms otherwise provided for conversions of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5 hereof. In the event of such a conversion, such transferee shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock into which the ESOP Preferred Stock shall have been converted as of the date of such conversion. Certificates representing shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be legended to reflect such restrictions on transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, shares of ESOP Preferred Stock (i) may be converted into shares of Common Stock as provided by Section 5 hereof and the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion may be transferred by the holder thereof as permitted by law and (ii) shall be redeemable by the Corporation upon the terms and conditions provided by Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof. 2. Dividends and Distributions. (A) (1) Subject to the provisions for adjustment hereinafter set forth, the holders of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock (other than the Corporation or its nominee) shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, cash dividends ("Preferred Dividends") payable in accordance with either of the following elections, as the Board of Directors shall elect from time to time in its absolute discretion: 7 (i) in an amount per share initially equal to $2.78 per share per annum, and no more (such amount, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, including during any period in which a Semiannual Payment Election (as defined below) shall be in effect, the "Annual Dividend Rate"), payable annually in arrears on December 31 (or such later date not more than four business days thereafter as the Board of Directors may from time to time elect in its absolute discretion; such date, the "Annual Payment Date") of each year (such election, the "Annual Payment Election") beginning on the Annual Payment Date occurring immediately after the effective date of such Annual Payment Election; or (ii) in an amount per share initially equal to $2.78 per share per annum, and no more (such amount, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, including during any period in which an Annual Payment Election is in effect, the "Semiannual Dividend Rate"; and the Semiannual Dividend Rate and the Annual Dividend Rate, as in effect at any time, are each hereinafter referred to as the "Preferred Dividend Rate"), semiannually in arrears, one-half on each June 30 and December 31 (or, in either case, such later date not more than four business days after either of such dates as the Board of Directors may from time to time elect in its absolute discretion; such dates, the "Semiannual Payment Dates") of each year (such election, the "Semiannual Payment Election"), beginning on the Semiannual Payment Date occurring immediately after the effective date of such Semiannual Payment Election; provided that any Semiannual Payment Election shall be made effective only during the period beginning on January 5 and ending on June 29 in each year. The Board of Directors shall give prompt notice to the holders of the ESOP Preferred Stock of any Semiannual Payment Election or Annual Payment Election and any election to alter any Dividend Payment Date pursuant to this Section 2(A)(1). Each Annual Payment Date or Semiannual Payment Date, as applicable, is hereinafter referred to as a "Dividend Payment Date", and each payment of a Preferred Dividend shall be made to holders of record at the opening of business on such Dividend Payment Date. (2) Preferred Dividends shall begin to accrue on outstanding shares of ESOP Preferred Stock from the date of issuance of such shares, except that with respect to any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock redeemed or purchased by the Corporation and then reissued, Preferred Dividends shall 8 accrue on such shares from their date of reissuance. Preferred Dividends shall accrue on a daily basis, whether or not the Corporation shall then have earnings or surplus (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months in case of any period less than one year) based on the Preferred Dividend Rate in effect on such date; provided that if a Semiannual Payment Election or an Annual Payment Election becomes effective on or after such date and before the immediately succeeding Dividend Payment Date, payments in respect of dividends on the ESOP Preferred Stock made on or after the effective date of such Semiannual Payment Election or Annual Payment Election and on or before such Dividend Payment Date shall be computed using the Preferred Dividend Rate in effect on the date of such payment. Accrued but unpaid Preferred Dividends shall cumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable, but no interest shall accrue on accumulated but unpaid Preferred Dividends. (B) So long as any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, no dividend shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any other series of stock ranking on a parity with the ESOP Preferred Stock as to dividends, unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the ESOP Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the ESOP Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such parity stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (1) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such parity stock, on the one hand, and (2) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the ESOP Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. If full cumulative dividends on the ESOP Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid or set apart for payment when due, the Corporation shall not declare or pay or set apart for payment any dividends or make any other distributions on, or make any payment on account of the purchase, redemption or other retirement of, any other class of stock or series thereof of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or upon dissolution, junior to the ESOP Preferred Stock until full cumulative dividends on the ESOP Preferred Stock shall have been paid or declared and set apart; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) any dividend or distribution payable solely in any shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, any stock ranking, as to dividends and upon dissolution, junior to the ESOP Preferred Stock or (ii) the acquisition of shares of any stock ranking, as to dividends and upon dissolution, junior to the ESOP Preferred Stock in 9 exchange solely for or by conversion solely into shares of any other stock ranking junior to the ESOP Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon dissolution. (C) Any dividend payment made on shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares. 3. Liquidation Preference. (A) In the event of any dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of any series or class or classes of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to ESOP Preferred Stock upon dissolution or liquidation, the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock (other than the Corporation or its nominee) shall be entitled to receive the Liquidation Price (as hereinafter defined) per share in effect at the time of dissolution or liquidation plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid on the ESOP Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution to such holders; but such holders shall not be entitled to and shall not otherwise receive any further payments. The Liquidation Price per share that holders of ESOP Preferred Stock shall receive upon dissolution or liquidation shall be $35.875, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. If, upon any dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on any other shares ranking, as to dissolution or liquidation, on a parity with ESOP Preferred Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock and any such other shares ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of ESOP Preferred Stock and any such other shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes of this Section 3, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into one or more corporations, nor the sale, transfer, lease or exchange (for cash, shares of equity stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, nor the distribution to the stockholders of the Corporation of all or substantially all of the consideration for such sale, unless such consideration (apart from assumption of liabilities) or the net proceeds 10 thereof consists substantially entirely of cash, shall be deemed to be a dissolution or liquidation, voluntary or involuntary. (B) Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series or class or classes of stock ranking on a parity with or senior to ESOP Preferred Stock upon dissolution or liquidation, upon any dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, after payment shall have been made in full to the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock as provided in this Section 3, but not prior thereto, any other series or class or classes of stock ranking junior to ESOP Preferred Stock upon dissolution or liquidation shall, subject to the respective terms and provisions (if any) applying thereto, be entitled to receive any and all assets of the Corporation remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein. 4. Ranking and Voting of Shares. (A) The Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, and the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, shall rank on a parity with ESOP Preferred Stock as to dividends and as to distribution of assets upon dissolution or liquidation. Unless otherwise provided in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as the same may be amended, or in a Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences relating to any subsequent series of preferred stock, the ESOP Preferred Stock shall rank on a parity with all series of the Corporation's preferred stock as to dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution or liquidation. (B) The holders of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock (other than the Corporation or its nominee) shall have the following voting rights: (1) The holders of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation, voting together with the holders of Common Stock as one class. The holder of each share of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to 1.35 times the number of shares of Common 11 Stock into which such share of ESOP Preferred Stock could be converted on the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote; it being understood that whenever the "Conversion Price" (as defined in Section 5 hereof) is adjusted as provided in Section 9 hereof, the number of votes of the ESOP Preferred Stock shall also be correspondingly adjusted. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the governing body of the New York Stock Exchange or any other securities listing service or exchange (each, an "Exchange") or any relevant governmental or regulatory entity (each such entity, and each governing body of an Exchange, a "Regulating Entity") shall have disapproved of such voting power or taken or threatened any action against the Corporation or in respect of any of its securities in accordance with Rule 19c-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), or any other rule or listing standard of any Regulating Entity regarding the voting power of securities, or if the Board of Directors determines in its sole judgment that any Regulating Entity may so disapprove or take or threaten any such action, the holder of each share of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a maximum number of votes permissible (consistent with continued listing of the Corporation's securities on any such Exchange) in accordance with the interpretations of any such rule or listing standard by such Regulating Entity, as determined by the Board of Directors. (2) Except as otherwise required by law or set forth herein, holders of ESOP Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for the taking of any corporate action, including the issuance of any preferred stock now or hereafter authorized; provided, however, that the vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of ESOP Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series, shall be necessary to approve any alteration, amendment or repeal of any provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any alteration, amendment or repeal of any provision of the resolutions relating to the designation, preferences and rights of ESOP Preferred Stock (including any such alteration, amendment or repeal effected by any merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is the surviving or resulting corporation, but not including any alteration or amendment of rights expressly provided for in Section (B)(1) above or in Section 2(A)(1)), if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of the ESOP Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely. 12 5. Conversion into Common Stock. (A) A holder of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be entitled, at any time prior to the close of business on the date fixed for redemption of such shares pursuant to Section 6, 7 or 8 hereof, to cause any or all of such shares to be converted into shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of the ESOP Preferred Stock may be converted shall be determined by dividing the Liquidation Price in effect at the time of conversion by the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) in effect at the time of conversion. The initial Conversion Price per share at which shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion of any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be $35.875, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided; that is, a conversion rate initially equivalent to one share of Common Stock for each share of ESOP Preferred Stock, which is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. (B) Any holder of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock desiring to convert such shares into shares of Common Stock shall surrender, if certificated, the certificate or certificates representing the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto), or if uncertificated, a duly executed stock power relating thereto, at the principal executive office of the Corporation or the offices of the transfer agent for the ESOP Preferred Stock or such office or offices in the continental United States of an agent for conversion as may from time to time be designated by notice to the holders of the ESOP Preferred Stock by the Corporation or the transfer agent for the ESOP Preferred Stock, accompanied by written notice of conversion. Such notice of conversion shall specify (i) the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to be converted and the name or names in which such holder wishes the Common Stock and any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock not to be so converted to be issued, and (ii) the address to which such holder wishes delivery to be made of a confirmation of such conversion, if uncertificated, or any new certificates which may be issued upon such conversion, if certificated. (C) Upon surrender, if certificated, of a certificate representing a share or shares of ESOP Preferred Stock for conversion, or if uncertificated, of a duly executed stock power relating thereto, the Corporation shall issue and send by hand delivery (with receipt to be acknowledged) or by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the 13 holder thereof or to such holder's designee, at the address designated by such holder, if certificated, a certificate or certificates for, or if uncertificated, confirmation of, the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion. If there shall have been surrendered shares of ESOP Preferred Stock only part of which are to be converted, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder or such holder's designee, if certificated, a new certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock that shall not have been converted, or if uncertificated, confirmation of the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock that shall not have been converted. (D) The issuance by the Corporation of shares of Common Stock upon a conversion of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock made at the option of the holder thereof shall be effective as of the earlier of (i) the delivery to such holder or such holder's designee of the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, if certificated, or confirmation, if uncertificated, and (ii) the commencement of business on the second business day after the surrender of the certificate or certificates, if certificated, or a duly executed stock power, if uncertificated, for the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to be converted. On and after the effective date of conversion, the person or persons entitled to receive Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock, and no allowance or adjustment shall be made in respect of dividends payable to holders of Common Stock of record on any date prior to such effective date. The Corporation shall not be obligated to pay any dividend that may have accrued or have been declared but that is not payable to holders of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock if the Dividend Payment Date for such dividend is on or subsequent to the effective date of conversion of such shares. (E) The Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver to holders of ESOP Preferred Stock any fractional share or shares of Common Stock issuable upon any conversion of such shares of ESOP Preferred Stock, but in lieu thereof may make a cash payment in respect thereof in any manner permitted by law. (F) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock or treasury Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock as herein 14 provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock then outstanding. 6. Redemption at the Option of the Corporation. (A) The ESOP Preferred Stock shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Corporation at any time after September 19, 2000, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price per share equal to 100% of the Liquidation Price plus an amount equal to all accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption. Payment of the redemption price shall be made by the Corporation in cash or shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as permitted by paragraph (E) of this Section 6. From and after the date fixed for redemption, dividends on shares of ESOP Preferred Stock called for redemption will cease to accrue and all rights of the holder in respect of such shares shall cease, except the right to receive the redemption price. Upon payment of the redemption price, such shares shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Corporation, to be held as treasury shares or to be retired, in either case as provided in Section 1(A). If less than all of the outstanding shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall either redeem a portion of the shares of each holder determined pro rata based on the number of shares held by each holder or shall select the shares to be redeemed by lot, as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. (B) Notice of redemption will be sent to the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock at the address shown on the books of the Corporation or any transfer agent for ESOP Preferred Stock by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than twenty (20) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date or in any other manner provided by law. Each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the total number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where certificates, if certificated, for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date; (vi) whether such redemption price should be paid in cash or in shares of Common Stock; and (vii) the conversion rights of the shares to be redeemed, the period within which conversion 15 rights may be exercised and the Conversion Price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of ESOP Preferred Stock at the time. Upon surrender of the certificates, if certificated, for any shares so called for redemption, or upon the date fixed for redemption, if uncertificated, such shares, if not previously converted, shall be redeemed by the Corporation as of the close of business on the date fixed for redemption and at the redemption price set forth in this Section 6. (C) The Corporation may, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph (A) of this Section 6, at any time within one year after either of the following events: (i) there shall be a change in the federal tax law or regulations of the United States of America or of an interpretation or application of such law or regulations or of a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that in any case has the effect of precluding the Corporation from claiming (other than for purposes of calculating any alternative minimum tax) any of the tax deductions for dividends paid on the ESOP Preferred Stock when such dividends are used as provided under Section 404(k)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as in effect on the date shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are initially issued, or (ii) the Corporation shall certify to the holders of the ESOP Preferred Stock that the Corporation has determined in good faith that the Plan either is not qualified as a "stock bonus plan" within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code or is not an "employee stock ownership plan" within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code, elect either to (a) redeem, out of funds legally available therefor, any or all of such ESOP Preferred Stock for cash or, if the Corporation so elects, in shares of Common Stock, or a combination of such shares of Common Stock and cash, as permitted by paragraph (E) of this Section 6, at a redemption price equal to (x) if the relevant event is as provided in clause (i) above, the Liquidation Price per share on the date fixed for redemption, plus an amount equal to accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption or (y) if the relevant event is as provided in clause (ii) above, an amount calculated on the basis of the redemption prices provided in paragraph (D) of this Section 6 on the date fixed for redemption or (b) 16 exchange any or all of such shares of ESOP Preferred Stock for securities of at least equal value (as determined by an independent appraiser) that constitute "qualifying employer securities" with respect to a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock within the meaning of Section 409(1) of the Code and Section 407(d)(5) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or any successor provisions of law. If the Corporation elects to redeem any or all of the ESOP Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (a) of the preceding sentence, notice of such redemption shall be given as required in paragraph (B) of this Section 6, and if the Corporation elects to exchange any or all of the ESOP Preferred Stock for securities of at least equal value pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence, it will cause notice of such election to be sent to the holders of ESOP Preferred Stock at the address shown on the books of the Corporation or any transfer agent for ESOP Preferred Stock by first class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than twenty (20) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of exchange or in any other manner required by law. Each notice shall state: (i) the exchange date; (ii) the total number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to be exchanged and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be exchanged, the number of shares held by such holder to be exchanged; (iii) the exchange rate; (iv) the place or places where certificates, if certificated, for such shares are to be surrendered for exchange; and (v) that dividends on the shares to be exchanged will cease to accrue on such exchange date. (D) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph (A) of this Section 6, in the event that the Plan is, or contributions thereto are, terminated, the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, call for redemption any or all of the then outstanding ESOP Preferred Stock, upon notice as required in paragraph (B) of this Section 6, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price per share equal to the following percentages of the Liquidation Price in effect on the date fixed for redemption: 17
During the Twelve- Month Period Percentage of Beginning September 19, Liquidation Price ----------------------- ----------------- 1991 106.98 1992 106.20 1993 105.43 1994 104.65 1995 103.88 1996 103.10 1997 102.33 1998 101.55 1999 100.78 2000 100.00
and thereafter at 100%, plus, in each case, an amount equal to all accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption. Payment of the redemption price shall be made by the Corporation in cash or shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as permitted by paragraph (E) of this Section 6. From and after the date fixed for redemption, dividends on shares of ESOP Preferred Stock called for redemption will cease to accrue and all rights of the holder in respect of such shares shall cease, except the right to receive the redemption price. Upon payment of the redemption price, such shares shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Corporation, to be held as treasury shares or to be retired, in either case as provided in Section 1(A). (E) The Corporation, at its option, may make payment of the redemption price required upon redemption of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock in cash or in shares of Common Stock, or in a combination of such shares and cash, any such shares of Common Stock to be valued for such purpose at their Fair Market Value (as defined in paragraph 9(H)(2)); provided, however, that in calculating their Fair Market Value the Adjustment Period (as defined in paragraph 9(H)(2)) shall be deemed to be the five (5) consecutive trading days preceding the date of redemption. 7. Redemption at the Option of the Holder. (A) Unless otherwise provided by law, shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the option of the holder, at any time and from time to time upon notice to the Corporation given not less than five business days prior to the date fixed by the holder in such notice, when and to the extent necessary for such holder to 18 provide for distributions required to be made under, or to satisfy an investment election provided to participants in accordance with, the Plan or any successor plan or when the holder elects to redeem shares of ESOP Preferred Stock in connection with any Preferred Dividend (a "Dividend Redemption"), in shares of Common Stock legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to the higher of (x) the Liquidation Price per share on the date fixed for redemption and (y) the Fair Market Value (as defined in paragraph 9(H)(2)) of the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of ESOP Preferred Stock is convertible at the time the notice of such redemption is given, plus in either case an amount equal to accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption (such higher price on any date, together with such accrued and unpaid dividends, the "Special Redemption Price"). At the election of the Corporation, such redemption may instead be made out of funds legally available therefor in cash or a combination of Common Stock and cash. Any shares of Common Stock shall be valued for the purposes of redemption pursuant to this paragraph (A) as provided by paragraph (E) of Section 6. In the case of any Dividend Redemption, such holder shall give the notice specified above on the fifth business day after the related Dividend Payment Date and such redemption shall be effective as to such number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock as shall equal (x) the aggregate amount of such Preferred Dividends paid with respect to shares of ESOP Preferred Stock allocated or credited to the accounts of participants in the Plan or any successor plan that are used to repay any loan associated with such allocated or credited shares divided by (y) the Special Redemption Price specified above in this paragraph (A). (B) Unless otherwise provided by law, shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the option of the holder, at any time and from time to time upon notice to the Corporation given not less than five business days prior to the date fixed by the holder in such notice, upon certification by such holder to the Corporation of the following events: (i) when and to the extent necessary for such holder to make any payments of principal, interest or premium due and payable (whether voluntary, scheduled, upon acceleration or otherwise) upon any obligations of the trust established under the Plan in connection with the acquisition of ESOP Preferred Stock or any indebtedness, expenses or costs incurred by the holder for the benefit of the Plan; or (ii) when and if it shall be established to the satisfaction of the holder that the Plan 19 has not initially been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be qualified as a "stock bonus plan" and an "employee stock ownership plan" within the meaning of Section 401(a) or 4975(e)(7) of the Code, respectively, in shares of Common Stock legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Price plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption. At the election of the Corporation, such redemption may instead be made out of funds legally available therefor in cash or a combination of Common Stock and cash. Any shares of Common Stock shall be valued for the purposes of redemption pursuant to this paragraph (B) as provided by paragraph (E) of Section 6. 8. Consolidation, Merger, etc. (A) If the Corporation shall consummate any consolidation or merger or similar transaction, however named, pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are by operation of law exchanged solely for or changed, reclassified or converted solely into securities of any successor or resulting company (including the Corporation) that constitute "qualifying employer securities" with respect to a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock within the meanings of Section 409(l) of the Code and Section 407(d)(5) of ERISA, or any successor provision of law, and, if applicable, for a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, if any, then, in such event, the terms of such consolidation or merger or similar transaction shall provide that the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock of such holder shall be converted into or exchanged for and shall become preferred securities of such successor or resulting company, having in respect of such company insofar as possible (taking into account, without limitation, any requirements relating to the listing of such preferred securities on any national securities exchange or the qualification of such preferred securities for trading in any over-the-counter market) the same powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights (including the redemption rights provided by Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof), and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, that the ESOP Preferred Stock had immediately prior to such transaction; provided, however, that after such transaction each security into which the ESOP Preferred Stock is so converted or for which it is exchanged shall be convertible, pursuant to the terms and conditions provided by Section 5 hereof, into the number and kind of qualifying employer securities receivable by a holder equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of ESOP 20 Preferred Stock could have been converted pursuant to Section 5 hereof immediately prior to such transaction and provided further that if by virtue of the structure of such transaction, a holder of Common Stock is required to make an election with respect to the nature and kind of consideration to be received in such transaction, which election cannot practicably be made by the holders of the ESOP Preferred Stock, then such election shall be deemed to be solely for "qualifying employer securities" (together, if applicable, with a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) with the effect provided above on the basis of the number and kind of qualifying employer securities receivable by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock could have been converted pursuant to Section 5 hereof immediately prior to such transaction (it being understood that if the kind or amount of qualifying employer securities receivable in respect of each share of Common Stock upon such transaction is not the same for each such share, then the kind and amount of qualifying employer securities deemed to be receivable in respect of each share of Common Stock for purposes of this proviso shall be the kind and amount so receivable per share of Common Stock by a plurality of such shares). The rights of the ESOP Preferred Stock as preferred equity of such successor or resulting company shall successively be subject to adjustments pursuant to Section 9 hereof after any such transaction as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for by such Section prior to such transaction. The Corporation shall not consummate any such merger, consolidation or similar transaction unless all the terms of this paragraph (A) are complied with. (B) If the Corporation shall consummate any consolidation or merger or similar transaction, however named, pursuant to which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are by operation of law exchanged for or changed, reclassified or converted into other shares or securities or cash or any other property, or any combination thereof, other than any such consideration which is constituted solely of qualifying employer securities that are common stock or common equity (as referred to in paragraph (A) of this Section 8) and cash payments, if applicable, in lieu of fractional shares or other interests, outstanding shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall, without any action on the part of the Corporation or any holder thereof (but subject to paragraph (C) of this Section 8), be automatically converted immediately prior to the consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect. 21 (C) If the Corporation shall enter into any agreement providing for any consolidation or merger or similar transaction described in paragraph (B) of this Section 8, then the Corporation shall as soon as practicable thereafter (and in any event at least ten (10) business days before consummation of such transaction) give notice of such agreement and the material terms thereof to each holder of ESOP Preferred Stock and each such holder shall have the right to elect, by written notice to the Corporation, to receive, upon consummation of such transaction (if and when such transaction is consummated), out of funds legally available therefor, from the Corporation or the successor of the Corporation, in redemption of such ESOP Preferred Stock, in lieu of any cash or other securities which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive under paragraph (B) of this Section 8, a cash payment equal to the Liquidation Price per share on the date fixed for such transaction, plus an amount equal to accrued (whether or not accumulated) and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for such transaction. No such notice of redemption shall be effective unless given to the Corporation prior to the close of business of the fifth business day prior to consummation of such transaction, unless the Corporation or the successor of the Corporation shall waive such prior notice, but any notice or redemption so given prior to such time may be withdrawn by notice of withdrawal given to the Corporation prior to the close of business on the fifth business day prior to consummation of such transaction. 9. Anti-dilution Adjustments. (A) (1) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution in respect of the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, in each case whether by reclassification of shares, recapitalization of the Corporation (excluding a recapitalization or reclassification effected by a merger or consolidation to which Section 8 applies) or otherwise, then, in such event, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent legally permissible, declare a dividend in respect of the ESOP Preferred Stock in shares of ESOP Preferred Stock (a "Special Dividend") in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become a holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times a fraction (the 22 "Section 9(A) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. A Special Dividend declared pursuant to this Section 9(A)(1) shall be effective, upon payment of such dividend or distribution in respect of the Common Stock, as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (on a retroactive basis), and in the case of a subdivision shall become effective immediately as of the effective date thereof. Concurrently with the declaration of the Special Dividend pursuant to this paragraph 9(A)(1), the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate of all shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate, respectively, in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(A) Fraction. (2) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, whether by reclassification of shares, recapitalization of the Corporation (excluding a recapitalization or reclassification effected by a merger, consolidation or other transaction to which Section 8 applies) or otherwise, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall automatically be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(A) Fraction and the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate will not be adjusted. An adjustment to the Conversion Price made pursuant to this paragraph 9(A)(2) shall be given effect immediately as of the effective date of such combination. (B) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue to holders of shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution, including by way of a reclassification of shares or a recapitalization of the Corporation, any right or warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock (but not including as a right or warrant for this purpose any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) per share less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of issuance of such right or warrant (other than pursuant to any 23 employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted), then, in such event, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent legally permissible, declare a Special Dividend in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become a holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times a fraction (the "Section 9(B) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be acquired upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of warrants or rights plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance for the maximum aggregate consideration payable upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants. A Special Dividend declared pursuant to this Section 9(B) shall be effective upon such issuance of rights or warrants. Concurrently with the declaration of the Special Dividend pursuant to this Section 9(B), the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate of all shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate, respectively, in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(B) Fraction. (C) (1) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue, sell or exchange shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to (x) any right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (including as such a right or warrant any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) or (y) any employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted) at a purchase price per share less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange, then, in such event, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent legally permissible, declare a Special Dividend in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become the holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times a 24 fraction (the "Section 9(C)(1) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance, sale or exchange plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or exchanged and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance, sale or exchange plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance, sale or exchange for the maximum aggregate consideration paid therefor. (2) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event that the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any ESOP Preferred Stock is outstanding, issue, sell or exchange any right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (including as such a right or warrant any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock other than pursuant to (x) any employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted and (y) any dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock contemplated in Section 9(A)(1)) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value, on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange, less than the Non-Dilutive Amount (as hereinafter defined), then, in such event, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent legally permissible, declare a Special Dividend in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become the holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times a fraction (the "Section 9(C)(2) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be acquired upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance for the total of (x) the maximum aggregate consideration payable at the time of the issuance, sale or exchange of such right or warrant and (y) the maximum aggregate consideration payable upon exercise in full of all such rights or warrants. (3) A Special Dividend declared pursuant to this Section 9(C) shall be effective upon the effective date of 25 such issuance, sale or exchange. Concurrently with the declaration of the Special Dividend pursuant to this Section 9(C), the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate of all shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate, respectively, in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(C)(1) Fraction or Section 9(C)(2) Fraction, as the case may be. (D) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, in the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, make an Extraordinary Distribution (as hereinafter defined) in respect of the Common Stock, whether by dividend, distribution, reclassification of shares or recapitalization of the Corporation (including capitalization or reclassification effected by a merger or consolidation to which Section 8 does not apply) or effect a Pro Rata Repurchase (as hereinafter defined) of Common Stock, then, in such event, the Board of Directors shall, to the extent legally permissible, declare a Special Dividend in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become a holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times a fraction (the "Section 9(D) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase minus, in the case of Pro Rata Repurchase, the number of shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Corporation multiplied by (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the day before the ex-dividend date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid in cash and on the distribution date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid other than in cash, or on the applicable expiration date (including all extensions thereof) of any tender offer that is a Pro Rata Repurchase or on the date of purchase with respect to any Pro Rata Repurchase that is not a tender offer, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the day before the ex-dividend date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid in cash and on the distribution date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid other than in cash, or on the applicable expiration date 26 (including all extensions thereof) of any tender offer that is a Pro Rata Repurchase, or on the date of purchase with respect to any Pro Rata Repurchase that is not a tender offer, as the case may be, minus (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Extraordinary Distribution or the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, as the case may be. The Corporation shall send each holder of ESOP Preferred Stock (i) notice of its intent to make any Extraordinary Distribution and (ii) notice of any offer by the Corporation to make a Pro Rata Repurchase, in each case at the same time as, or as soon as practicable after, such offer is first communicated to holders of Common Stock or, in the case of an Extraordinary Distribution, the announcement of a record date in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading. Such notice shall indicate the intended record date and the amount and nature of such dividend or distribution, or the number of shares subject to such offer for a Pro Rata Repurchase and the purchase price payable by the Corporation pursuant to such offer, as well as the Conversion Price and the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of ESOP Preferred Stock may be converted at such time. Concurrently with the Special Dividend paid pursuant to this Section 9(D), the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate of all shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate, respectively, in effect immediately before such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase by the Section 9(D) Fraction. (E) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, the Corporation shall not be required to make (i) any Special Dividend or any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate unless such Special Dividend or adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding, or, (ii) if no additional shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are issued, any adjustment of the Conversion Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the Conversion Price. Any lesser Special Dividend or adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made no later than the time of, and together with, the next subsequent Special Dividend or adjustment which, together with any Special Dividend or Dividends, adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding or, if no additional shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are being issued, 27 an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price, whichever the case may be. (F) The Corporation and the Board of Directors shall each use its best efforts to take all necessary steps or to take all actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for declaration of any Special Dividend provided in any of paragraphs (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this Section 9, but shall not be required to call a special meeting of stockholders in order to implement the provisions thereof. If for any reason the Board of Directors is precluded from giving full effect to the Special Dividend provided in any of such paragraphs, then no such Special Dividend shall be declared, but instead the Conversion Price shall automatically be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the relevant event by the Section 9(A), Section 9(B), Section 9(C) or Section 9(D) Fraction, as applicable, and the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate will not be adjusted. An adjustment to the Conversion Price made pursuant to this paragraph (F) shall be given effect, (i) in the case of a payment of a dividend or distribution under Section 9(A), upon payment thereof as of the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (on a retroactive basis), and, in the case of a subdivision under Section 9(A), immediately as of the effective date thereof, (ii) in the case of Section 9(B), upon such issuance of rights or warrants, (iii) in the case of Section 9(C), upon the effective date of such issuance, sale or exchange and (iv) in the case of an Extraordinary Dividend under Section 9(D), as of the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such Extraordinary Dividend (on a retroactive basis), and, in the case of a Pro Rata Repurchase under Section 9(D), upon the expiration date thereof (if such Pro Rata Repurchase is a tender offer) or the effective date thereof (if such Pro Rata Repurchase is not a tender offer). If subsequently the Board of Directors is able to give full effect to the Special Dividend as provided in paragraph (A), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 9, then such Special Dividend will be declared and other adjustments will be made in accordance with the provisions of such paragraph and the adjustment in the Conversion Price as provided in this paragraph (F) will automatically be reversed and nullified prospectively. (G) If the Corporation shall make any dividend or distribution on the Common Stock or issue any Common Stock, other capital stock or other security of the Corporation or any rights or warrants to purchase or acquire any such 28 security, which transaction does not result in an adjustment to the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding or the Conversion Price pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, consider whether such action is of such a nature that some type of equitable adjustment should be made in respect of such transaction. If in such case the Board of Directors of the Corporation determines that some type of adjustment should be made, an adjustment shall be made effective as of such date as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The determination of the Board of Directors of the Corporation as to whether some type of adjustment should be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(G), and, if so, as to what adjustment should be made and when, shall be final and binding on the Corporation and all stockholders of the Corporation. The Corporation shall be entitled, but not required, to make such additional adjustments, in addition to those required by the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, as shall be necessary in order that any dividend or distribution in shares of capital stock of the Corporation, subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of the Corporation or any reclassification of the Corporation shall not be taxable to holders of the Common Stock. (H) For purposes hereof, the following definitions shall apply: (1) "Extraordinary Distribution" shall mean any dividend or other distribution to holders of Common Stock (effected while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding) of (i) cash or (ii) any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (other than shares of Common Stock), other securities of the Corporation (other than securities of the type referred to in paragraph (B) of this Section 9), evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation or any other person or any other property (including shares of any subsidiary of the Corporation), or any combination of the foregoing, where the aggregate amount of such cash dividend or other distribution together with the amount of all cash dividends and other distributions made during the preceding period of twelve months, when combined with the aggregate amount of all Pro Rata Repurchases (for this purpose, including only that portion of the aggregate purchase price of such Pro Rata Repurchase that is in excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock repurchased as determined on the applicable expiration date (including all extensions thereof) of any tender offer or exchange offer that is a Pro Rata Repurchase, or the date of purchase with respect to any 29 other Pro Rata Repurchase that is not a tender offer or exchange offer) made during such period, exceeds twelve and one-half percent (12-1/2%) of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all shares of Common Stock outstanding on the day before the ex-dividend date with respect to such Extraordinary Distribution that is paid in cash and on the distribution date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid other than in cash. The Fair Market Value of an Extraordinary Distribution for purposes of paragraph (D) of this Section 9 shall be the sum of the Fair Market Value of such Extraordinary Distribution plus the aggregate amount of any cash dividends or other distributions that are not Extraordinary Distributions made during such twelve-month period and not previously included in the calculation of an adjustment pursuant to paragraph (D) of this Section 9, but shall exclude the aggregate amount of regular quarterly dividends declared by the Board of Directors and paid by the Corporation in such twelve-month period. (2) "Fair Market Value" shall mean, as to shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital stock or securities of the Corporation or any other issuer that are publicly traded, the average of the Current Market Prices (as hereinafter defined) of such shares or securities for each day of the Adjustment Period (as hereinafter defined). "Current Market Price" of publicly traded shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital stock or other security of the Corporation or any other issuer for a day shall mean the last reported sales price, regular way, or, in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape or, if such security is not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which such security is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") National Market System or, if such security is not quoted on such National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market as reported by NASDAQ or, if bid and asked prices for such security on such day shall not have been reported through NASDAQ, the average of the bid and asked prices for such day as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in such security selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. "Adjustment Period" shall mean the period of five consecutive trading days, selected by the Board of Directors of the 30 Corporation, during the twenty (20) trading days preceding, and including, the date as of which the Fair Market Value of a security is to be determined. The "Fair Market Value" of any security that is not publicly traded or of any other property shall mean the fair value thereof as determined by an independent investment banking or appraisal firm experienced in the valuation of such securities or property selected in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or, if no such investment banking or appraisal firm is in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors available to make such determination, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. (3) "Non-Dilutive Amount" in respect of an issuance, sale or exchange by the Corporation of any right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (including any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) shall mean the difference between (i) the product of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the day preceding the first public announcement of such issuance, sale or exchange multiplied by the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be acquired on such date upon the exercise in full of such rights or warrants (including upon the conversion or exchange of all such convertible or exchangeable securities), whether or not exercisable (or convertible or exchangeable) at such date, and (ii) the aggregate amount payable pursuant to such right or warrant to purchase or acquire such maximum number of shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that in no event shall the Non-Dilutive Amount be less than zero. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, in the case of a security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, the amount payable pursuant to a right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock shall be the Fair Market Value of such security on the date of the issuance, sale or exchange of such security by the Corporation. (4) "Pro Rata Repurchase" shall mean any purchase of shares or Common Stock by the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof, whether for cash, shares of capital stock of the Corporation, other securities of the Corporation, evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation or any other person or any other property (including shares of a subsidiary of the Corporation), or any combination thereof, effected while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer subject to Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision of law, or pursuant to any other offer available to substantially all holders of Common Stock; 31 provided, however, that no purchase of shares by the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof made in open market transactions shall be deemed a Pro Rata Repurchase. For purposes of this Section 9(H), shares shall be deemed to have been purchased by the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof "in open market transactions" if they have been purchased substantially in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 as in effect under the Exchange Act on the date shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are initially issued by the Corporation or on such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have determined are reasonably designed to prevent such purchases from having a material effect on the trading market for the Common Stock. (I) Whenever an adjustment increasing the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding is required pursuant hereto, the Board of Directors shall take action as is necessary so that a sufficient number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are designated with respect to such increase resulting from such adjustment. Whenever an adjustment to the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock is required pursuant hereto, the Corporation shall forthwith place on file with the transfer agent for the Common Stock and the ESOP Preferred Stock, if there be one, and with the Treasurer of the Corporation, a statement signed by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation stating the adjusted Conversion Price, Liquidation Price and Preferred Dividend Rate determined as provided herein. Such statement shall set forth in reasonable detail such facts as shall be necessary to show the reason and the manner of computing such adjustments, including any determination of Fair Market Value involved in such computation. Promptly after each adjustment to the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding, the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate, the Corporation shall mail a notice thereof and of the then prevailing number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding, the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate to each holder of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock. 10. Miscellaneous. (A) All notices referred to herein shall be in writing, and all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three (3) business days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered mail (unless first-class mail shall be specifically permitted for such notice under the terms hereof) with postage prepaid, 32 addressed: (i) if to the Corporation, to its office at 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020 (Attention: Secretary) or to the transfer agent for the ESOP Preferred Stock, or other agent of the Corporation designated as permitted hereof or (ii) if to any holder of the ESOP Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, to such holder at the address of such holder as listed in the stock record books of the Corporation (which may include the records of any transfer agent for Common Stock) or (iii) to such other address as the Corporation or any such holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given. (B) The term "Common Stock" as used herein means the Corporation's Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, as the same exists at the date of filing of this Certificate of Designation pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to without par value, or from without par value to par value. In the event that, at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the holder of any shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock upon thereafter surrendering such shares for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares or other securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common Stock, the anti-dilution provisions contained in Section 9 hereof shall apply in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock, and the provisions of Sections 1 through 8 and 10 hereof with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like or similar terms to any such other shares or securities. (C) The Corporation shall pay any and all stock transfer and documentary stamp taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock or other securities issued on account of ESOP Preferred Stock pursuant thereto or certificates representing such shares or securities. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock or Common Stock or other securities in a name other than that in which the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock with respect to which such shares or other securities are issued or delivered were registered, or in respect of any payment to any person with respect to any shares or securities other than a payment 33 to the registered holder thereof, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid or is not payable. (D) In the event that a holder of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion or exchange of such shares should be registered or to whom payment upon redemption of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock should be made or the address to which the certificate or certificates representing such shares, or such payment, should be sent, the Corporation shall be entitled to register such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the holder of such ESOP Preferred Stock as shown on the records of the Corporation and to send the certificate or certificates or other documentation representing such shares, or such payment, to the address of such holder shown on the records of the Corporation. (E) The Corporation may appoint, and from time to time discharge and change, a transfer agent for the ESOP Preferred Stock. Upon any such appointment or discharge of a transfer agent, the Corporation shall send notice thereof by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of ESOP Preferred Stock. 34 Subpart B: 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock* 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value but with a stated value of $25.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The maximum number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 5,500,000. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 9.36% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, calculated as a percentage of the stated value, will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30, commencing August 30, 1991 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. - -------------------- * Terms defined in this Subpart B are so defined for purposes of this Subpart alone. 35 Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends). 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $25.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon 36 liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the 37 event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of 38 Incorporation (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to May 30, 1996. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $25.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. 39 If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 5, the Board reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares which constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: 40 (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.875 per share, the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, and the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 41 Subpart C: 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock* 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The maximum number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 975,000. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 8.88% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, calculated as a percentage of the stated value, will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30, commencing February 28, 1992 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid - --------------------- * Terms defined in this Subpart C are so defined for purposes of this Subpart alone. 42 through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation for any consideration or any payment by the Corporation be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment; and provided further that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and 43 accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and an amount equal to such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members 44 of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or 45 (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to November 30, 1996. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. 46 If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. All shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be retired and cancelled and shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series, and may thereafter be issued. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 47 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. 48 The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.875 per share, the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, and the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 49 Subpart D: 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock* 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 750,000. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 8-3/4% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, calculated as a percentage of the stated value, will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30, commencing May 30, 1992 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the - -------------------- * Terms defined in this Subpart D are so defined for purposes of this Subpart alone. 50 Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation for any consideration or any payment by the Corporation be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment; and provided further that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred 51 Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and an amount equal to such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of 52 stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or 53 (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to May 30, 1997. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. 54 If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. All shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall be retired and cancelled and shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series, and may thereafter be issued. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 55 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. 56 The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.875 per share, the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, and the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 57 PART II -- COMMON STOCK (a) Dividends. Subject to the preferential dividend rights applicable to shares of any class or series of stock having preference over the Common Stock as to dividends, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors and shall share equally, share for share alike, in such dividends. (b) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after distribution in full of the preferential amounts to be distributed to the holders of shares of any class or series of stock having preference over the Common Stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of the Common Stock held. (c) Voting. Each share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. The holders of the shares of Common Stock shall at all times, except as otherwise provided in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or required by law, vote as one class, together with the holders of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation accorded such general class voting right. SECTION 3. Definitions.

SECTION 7. Other Powers. The By-Laws of the Corporation may confer upon the Board of Directors powers in addition to the foregoing and in addition to the powers and authorities expressly conferred upon them by law, but only to the extent permitted by law and not prohibited by the provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. ARTICLE VI INDEMNIFICATION The Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any manner in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person (1) is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or a Subsidiary or (2) is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or a Subsidiary as a director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, committee or other enterprise. To the extent deemed advisable by the Board of Directors, the Corporation may indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any manner in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that the person is or was an employee or agent (other than a director or officer) of the Corporation or a Subsidiary. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or a Subsidiary as a director, officer, partner, 61 member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, committee or other enterprise, against any expense, liability or loss asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation or a Subsidiary would have the power to indemnify him against such expense, liability or loss under the provisions of applicable law. No repeal, modification or amendment of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, this Article VI nor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any modification of law shall adversely affect any right or protection of any person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or with respect to events that occurred prior to, the time of such repeal, amendment, adoption or modification.

The payment of any amounts to any director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent pursuant to this Article VI shall subrogate the Corporation to any right such director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent may have against any other person or entity. The rights conferred in this Article VI shall be contract rights. ARTICLE VII LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach by the director of his duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. 62 No repeal, modification or amendment of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, this Article VII nor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any modification of law shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal, amendment, adoption or modification or affect the liability of any director of the Corporation for any action taken or any omission that occurred prior to the time of such repeal, amendment, adoption or modification. If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware shall be amended, after this Restated Certificate of Incorporation is amended to include this Article VII, to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the liability of directors, then a director of the Corporation, in addition to the circumstances in which he is not liable immediately prior to such amendment, shall be free of liability to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so amended.

Greenhill (Seal) ---------------------------- Robert F. Greenhill President Attest: /s/ Patricia A. Kurtz - ------------------------- Patricia A. Kurtz Assistant Secretary CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. (Pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC., a Delaware corporation, HEREBY CERTIFIES AS FOLLOWS; 1. The name of the Corporation is Morgan Stanley Group Inc. The date of filing of its original Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware was July 10, 1975. The date of filing of the most recent Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware was September 15, 1992. 2. This Certificate of Amendment sets forth amendments to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation that were duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. 3. Article IV, Section 2, Part I, Subpart A, Section 1(A) of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended in full to be and read as follows: (A) The shares of such series shall be designated ESOP CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (hereinafter referred to as the "ESOP Preferred Stock") and such series shall consist of 3,902,438 shares. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased from time to time by resolution of the Pricing Committee of this Board of Directors (the "Pricing Committee"), but no such increase shall result in such series consisting of more than 4,000,000 shares, and no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to a number less than that of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock then outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of any rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation relating to such shares. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors may increase the number of shares of ESOP 2 Preferred Stock to a number greater than 4,000,000 shares, or may decrease the number of such shares, subject only to any limitations imposed by applicable law or this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Any shares of ESOP Preferred Stock redeemed or purchased by the Corporation shall remain issued and outstanding for all purposes (except that as long as such shares are held by the Corporation or its nominee, no dividends shall be paid on such shares and they shall neither be entitled to vote nor counted for quorum purposes) and may thereafter be transferred by the Corporation from time to time to a trustee or trustees referred to in paragraph (B) of this Section 1 (whereupon the voting and dividend rights of such shares shall be restored); provided that the Corporation may provide at the time of or at any time after such redemption or purchase that any such shares then held by the Corporation or its nominee shall be retired, and such shares shall then be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Corporation. 4. Article IV, Section 2, Part I, Subpart A, Section 9, Paragraphs (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G) and (I) of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation are hereby amended in full to be and read as follows: (A)(1) In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution in respect of the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, in each case whether by reclassification of shares, recapitalization of the Corporation (excluding a recapitalization or reclassification effected by a merger or consolidation to which Section 8 applies) or otherwise, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing such Conversion Price by a fraction (the "Section 9(A) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Such adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be effective, upon payment of such dividend or distribution in respect of the Common Stock, as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (on a 3 retroactive basis), and in the case of a subdivision shall become effective immediately as of the effective date thereof. An adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 9(A)(1) shall have no effect on the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock. (2) In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, whether by reclassification of shares, recapitalization of the Corporation (excluding a recapitalization or reclassification effected by a merger, consolidation or other transaction to which Section 8 applies) or otherwise, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraph (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(A) Fraction. An adjustment to the Conversion Price made pursuant to this paragraph 9(A)(2) shall be given effect immediately as of the effective date of such combination and shall have no effect on the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock. (B) In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue to holders of shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution, including by way of a reclassification of shares or a recapitalization of the Corporation, any right or warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock (but not including as a right or warrant for this purpose any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) per share less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of issuance of such right or warrant (other than pursuant to any employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted), then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing such Conversion Price by a fraction (the "Section 9(B) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the maximum 4 number of shares of Common Stock that could be acquired upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of warrants or rights plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance for the maximum aggregate consideration payable upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants. Such adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be effective upon such issuance of rights or warrants. An adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 9(B) shall have no effect on the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock. (C)(1) In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue, sell or exchange shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to (x) any right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (including as such a right or warrant for this purpose any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) or (y) any employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted) at a purchase price per share less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing such Conversion Price by a fraction (the "Section 9(C)(1) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance, sale or exchange plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued, sold or exchanged and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance, sale or exchange plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance, sale or exchange for the maximum aggregate consideration paid therefor. (2) In the event that the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any ESOP Preferred Stock is outstanding, issue, sell or exchange any right or warrant to purchase or acquire shares of Common Stock (including as such a right or warrant for this purpose 5 any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock other than pursuant to any employee or director incentive, compensation or benefit plan or arrangement of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation heretofore or hereafter adopted) for a consideration having a Fair Market Value, on the date of such issuance, sale or exchange, less than the Non-Dilutive Amount (as hereinafter defined), then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing such Conversion Price by a fraction (the "Section 9(C)(2) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could be acquired upon exercise in full of all such rights and warrants and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock that could be purchased at the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time of such issuance for the total of (x) the maximum aggregate consideration payable at the time of the issuance, sale or exchange of such right or warrant and (y) the maximum aggregate consideration payable upon exercise in full of all such rights or warrants. (3) An adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 9(C) shall be effective upon the effective date of any issuance, sale or exchange described in paragraph (1) or (2) above. Any such adjustment shall have no effect on the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock. (D) In the event the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are outstanding, make an Extraordinary Distribution (as hereinafter defined) in respect of the Common Stock, whether by dividend, distribution, reclassification of shares or recapitalization of the Corporation (including capitalization or reclassification effected by a merger or consolidation to which Section 8 does not apply) or effect a Pro Rata Repurchase (as hereinafter defined) of Common Stock, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (E) and (F) of this Section 9, automatically be adjusted by dividing such Conversion 6 Price by a fraction (the "Section 9(D) Fraction"), the numerator of which is the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase minus, in the case of a Pro Rata Repurchase, the number of shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Corporation multiplied by (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the day before the ex-dividend date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid in cash and on the distribution date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid other than in cash, or on the applicable expiration date (including all extensions thereof) of any tender offer that is a Pro Rata Repurchase or on the date of purchase with respect to any Pro Rata Repurchase that is not a tender offer, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Extraordinary Distribution or Pro Rata Repurchase multiplied by (y) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the day before the ex-dividend date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid in cash and on the distribution date with respect to an Extraordinary Distribution that is paid other than in cash, or on the applicable expiration date (including all extensions thereof) of any tender offer that is a Pro Rata Repurchase, or on the date of purchase with respect to any Pro Rata Repurchase that is not a tender offer, as the case may be, minus (ii) the Fair Market Value of the Extraordinary Distribution or the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, as the case may be. The Corporation shall send each holder of ESOP Preferred Stock (i) notice of its intent to make any Extraordinary Distribution and (ii) notice of any offer by the Corporation to make a Pro Rata Repurchase, in each case at the same time as, or as soon as practicable after, such offer is first communicated to holders of Common Stock or, in the case of an Extraordinary Distribution, the announcement of a record date in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading. Such notice shall indicate the intended record date and the amount and nature of such dividend or distribution, or the number of shares subject to such offer for a Pro Rata Repurchase and the purchase price payable by the Corporation pursuant to such offer, as well as the Conversion Price and the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of ESOP Preferred Stock may be converted at such time. An adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to 7 this Section 9(D) shall be effective (i) in the case of an Extraordinary Dividend as of the record date for the determination of holders entitled to receive such Extraordinary Dividend (on a retroactive basis) and (ii) in the case of a Pro Rata Repurchase upon the expiration date thereof (if such Pro Rata Repurchase is a tender offer) or the effective date thereof (if such Pro Rata Repurchase is not a tender offer). Any such adjustment shall have no effect on the Liquidation Price or the Preferred Dividend Rate of the ESOP Preferred Stock. (E) The Board of Directors shall have the authority to determine that any adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in paragraph (A)(1), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 9 shall not be made (or if already made, to determine that such adjustment shall be cancelled prospectively), and in lieu thereof to declare a dividend in respect of the ESOP Preferred Stock in shares of ESOP Preferred Stock (a "Special Dividend") in such a manner that a holder of ESOP Preferred Stock will become a holder of that number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock equal to the product of the number of such shares held prior to such event times the Section 9(A), Section 9(B), Section 9(C)(1), Section 9(C)(2) or Section 9(D) Fraction, as applicable. The declaration of such a Special Dividend shall be authorized, if at all, by the Board of Directors no later than 30 calendar days following the authorization by the Board of Directors (or by a committee duly authorized by the Board of Directors) of the transaction or other event described in any of the foregoing paragraphs (A)(1), (B), (C) or (D) that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price being made pursuant to any such paragraphs, and if the Board of Directors does not authorize the declaration of a Special Dividend by the end of such 30-day period, then no such Special Dividend shall be declared and the adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in paragraph (A)(1), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 9 shall become final and binding on the Corporation and all stockholders of the Corporation. Concurrently with the declaration of any Special Dividend pursuant to this paragraph (E), the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate of all shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price and the Preferred Dividend Rate, respectively, in effect immediately before such event by the Section 9(A), Section 9(B), Section 9(C)(1), Section 9(C)(2) or Section 9(D) Fraction, as applicable. 8 (F) Unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 9, any adjustment to the Conversion Price provided for in any of paragraphs (A), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section 9 shall not be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the Conversion Price and, similarly, the Board of Directors shall not declare any Special Dividend pursuant to paragraph (E) of this Section 9 unless such Special Dividend or adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding. Any lesser adjustment to the Conversion Price or Special Dividend shall be carried forward and shall be made no later than the time of, and together with, the next subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Price or Special Dividend which, together with any adjustment or adjustments or Special Dividend or Dividends so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price or an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding, whichever the case may be. (G) If the Corporation shall make any dividend or distribution on the Common Stock or issue any Common Stock, other capital stock or other security of the Corporation or any rights or warrants to purchase or acquire any such security, which transaction does not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price or to the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, consider whether such action is of such a nature that some type of equitable adjustment should be made in respect of such transaction. If in such case the Board of Directors of the Corporation determines that some type of adjustment should be made, an adjustment shall be made effective as of such date as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The determination of the Board of Directors of the Corporation as to whether some type of adjustment should be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(G), and, if so, as to what adjustment should be made and when, shall be final and binding on the Corporation and all stockholders of the Corporation. The Corporation shall be entitled, but not required, to make such additional adjustments, in addition to those required by the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, as shall be necessary in order that any dividend or 9 distribution in shares of capital stock of the Corporation, subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of the Corporation or any reclassification of the Corporation shall not be taxable to holders of the Common Stock. * * * (I) Whenever an adjustment to the Conversion Price of the ESOP Preferred Stock is required pursuant to this Section 9, the Corporation shall forthwith place on file with the transfer agent for the Common Stock and the ESOP Preferred Stock, if there be one, and with the Treasurer of the Corporation, a statement signed by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation stating the adjusted Conversion Price determined as provided herein. In addition, whenever a Special Dividend is declared pursuant to paragraph (E) of this Section 9, (i) the maximum number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying 4,000,000 (or such other number as shall be the maximum number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock in effect prior to the authorization of such Special Dividend) by the Section 9(A), Section 9(B), Section 9(C)(1), Section 9(C)(2) or Section 9(D) Fraction, as the case may be, (ii) the Board of Directors shall take action as is necessary so that a sufficient number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are designated with respect to any increase in the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock to be outstanding as a result of such Special Dividend and (iii) the Corporation shall forthwith place on file with the transfer agent for the Common Stock and the ESOP Preferred Stock, if there be one, and with the Treasurer of the Corporation, a statement signed by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation stating the adjusted maximum number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock, Conversion Price, Liquidation Price and Preferred Dividend Rate determined as provided herein. The statement required by either of the two preceding sentences shall set forth in reasonable detail such facts as shall be necessary to show the reason and the manner of computing such adjustments, including any determination of Fair Market Value involved in such computation. Promptly after each adjustment to the maximum number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock, Conversion Price, the Liquidation Price, the Preferred Dividend Rate, or the number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding, the Corporation shall mail a notice thereof and of the then prevailing maximum number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock, Conversion Price, Liquidation Price, Preferred Dividend Rate and 10 number of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock outstanding to each holder of shares of ESOP Preferred Stock.

Clark Title: General Counsel and Secretary CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF THE 7-3/8% CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK ($200.00 Stated Value) OF MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. ______________________________ Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ______________________________ The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Morgan Stanley Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting dated as of July 27, 1993, with certain of the designations, preferences and rights having been fixed by the Pricing Committee of the Board (the "Committee") at a meeting on August 18, 1993, pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware: RESOLVED that, pursuant to authority expressly granted to and vested in the Committee by the Board and in the Board by provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"), which shall consist of 1,000,000 of the 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock which the Corporation now has authority to issue, is authorized, and the Board and, pursuant to the authority expressly granted to the Committee by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Certificate of Incorporation, the Committee, fix the powers, 2 designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series (in addition to the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which may be applicable to the Preferred Stock) as follows: 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 1,000,000. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 7-3/8% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, calculated as a percentage of the stated value, will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30 commencing November 30, 1993 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends 3 unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund, regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment) by the Corporation; provided that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking 4 junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends, shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining 6 director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with 7 respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to August 30, 1998. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock 8 so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: 9 (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible 10 Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share.

Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 7.82% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The maximum number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 682,813. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 7.82% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative 3 Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund, regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment) by the Corporation; provided that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to 4 rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends, shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining 6 director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with 7 respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption Shares. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to November 30, 1998. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock 8 so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: 9 (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible 10 Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and the Corporation's 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share.

Kurtz - ----------------------------- Assistant Secretary CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF THE 7.80% CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK ($200.00 Stated Value) OF MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. ------------------------------- Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ------------------------------- The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Morgan Stanley Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting dated as of October 29, 1993, with certain of the designations, preferences and rights having been fixed by the Pricing Committee of the Board (the "Committee") at a meeting on February 1, 1994, pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware: RESOLVED that, pursuant to authority expressly granted to and vested in the Committee by the Board and in the Board by provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"), which shall consist of 1,150,000 of the 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock which the Corporation now has authority to issue, is authorized, and the Board and, pursuant to the authority expressly granted to the Committee by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Certificate of Incorporation, the Committee, fix the powers, 2 designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series (in addition to the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which may be applicable to the Preferred Stock) as follows: 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 7.80% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The maximum number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 1,150,000. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 7.80% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative 3 Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund, regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment) by the Corporation; provided that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to 4 rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends, shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining 6 director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with 7 respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption Shares. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stocks books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to February 28, 1999. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock 8 so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: 9 (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock in such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with the Corporation's ESOP Convertible 10 Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, the Corporation's 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and, if issued, the Corporation's 7.82% Cumulative Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share.

(c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would 6 otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6.

Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of ---- any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity ------ Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity --------------- with the shares of 8 Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with (i) the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, (ii) the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, (iii) the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (iv) the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (v) the Corporation's 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (vi) if issued, the Corporation's 7.82% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and (vii) if issued, the Corporation's 7.80% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 9 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Morgan Stanley Group Inc. has caused this Certificate to be made under the seal of the Corporation and signed by Richard B.

Kurtz Title: Assistant Secretary CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF THE 8.40% CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK ($200.00 Stated Value) OF MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. ---------- Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ---------- The undersigned DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Morgan Stanley Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting dated as of April 12, 1995 with certain of the designations, preferences and rights having been fixed by the Pricing Committee of the Board (the "Committee") at a meeting on July 27, 1995, pursuant to authority delegated to it by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware: RESOLVED that, pursuant to authority expressly granted to and vested in the Committee by the Board and in the Board by provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"), which shall consist of 1,006,250 of the 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock which the Corporation now has authority to issue, is authorized, and the Board and, pursuant to the authority expressly granted to the Committee by the Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 141(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Certificate of Incorporation, the Committee fix the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series (in addition to the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, set 2 forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which may be applicable to the Preferred Stock) as follows: 1. Designation and Amount; Fractional Shares. The designation for such series of the Preferred Stock authorized by this resolution shall be the 8.40% Cumulative Preferred Stock, without par value, with a stated value of $200.00 per share (the "Cumulative Preferred Stock"). The stated value per share of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not for any purpose be considered to be a determination by the Board or the Committee with respect to the capital and surplus of the Corporation. The total number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be 1,006,250. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is issuable in whole shares only. 2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board or the Committee out of assets of the Corporation legally available for payment, cash dividends payable quarterly at the rate of 8.40% per annum. Dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on February 28, May 30, August 30 and November 30 (each a "dividend payment date"). Dividends on shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be cumulative from the date of initial issuance of such shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. Dividends will be payable, in arrears, to holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not more than 60 days nor less than 10 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee. The amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Parity Preferred Stock (as defined in paragraph 9(b) below) with regard to the payment of dividends unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Cumulative Preferred Stock, like dividends for all dividend payment periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock ending on or before the dividend payment date of such Parity Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends (x) accumulated and unpaid or payable on such Parity Preferred Stock, on the one hand, and (y) accumulated and unpaid through the dividend payment period or periods of the Cumulative Preferred Stock next preceding such dividend payment date, on the other hand. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, unless full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, no dividends (other than in Common Stock of the Corporation) may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or other distribution made upon the Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the 3 Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends, nor may any Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any payment be made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock; provided, however, that any moneys theretofore deposited in any sinking fund with respect to any preferred stock of the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of such sinking fund may thereafter be applied to the purchase or redemption of such preferred stock in accordance with the terms of such sinking fund, regardless of whether at the time of such application full cumulative dividends upon shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding to the last dividend payment date shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment) by the Corporation; provided that any such junior or parity Preferred Stock or Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to dividends. 3. Liquidation Preference. The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders 4 ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends, shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant 5 for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of 6 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption Shares. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to August 30, 2000. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and 8 (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with (i) the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, (ii) the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, (iii) the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (iv) the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (v) the Corporation's 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (vi) if issued, the Corporation's 7.82% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (vii) if issued, the Corporation's 7.80% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and (viii) if issued, the Corporation's 9.00% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 9 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Morgan Stanley Group Inc. has caused this Certificate to be made under the seal of the Corporation and signed by Richard B.

The shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank, as to liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, prior to the shares of Common Stock and any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, so that in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other such junior stock, an amount equal to $200.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference" of a share of Cumulative Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock to the date of final distribution. The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive the Liquidation Preference until the liquidation preference of any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall have been paid (or a sum set aside therefor sufficient to provide for payment) in full. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and such dividends, the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of shares of Parity Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributable among such holders 4 ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. For the purposes hereof, neither a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, nor a merger of any other corporation with or into the Corporation, nor a sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation's assets for cash or securities shall be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. 4. Conversion. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation. 5. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights whatsoever, except for any voting rights to which they may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware, and except as follows: (a) Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or on any Parity Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends, shall be in arrears for an aggregate number of days equal to six calendar quarters or more, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class), to elect two of the authorized number of members of the Board at the Corporation's next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until such arrearages have been paid or set apart for payment, at which time such right shall terminate, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock as a class to vote for directors as herein provided, the term of office of all directors then in office elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall terminate immediately. Any director who shall have been so elected pursuant to this paragraph may be removed at any time, either with or without cause. Any vacancy thereby created may be filled only by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting separately as a class (together with the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable). If the office of any director elected by the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock voting as a class becomes vacant 5 for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining director elected pursuant to this paragraph may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. At elections for such directors, each holder of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any other class or series of preferred stock having like voting rights being entitled to such number of votes, if any, for each share of such stock held as may be granted to them). (b) So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock outstanding at the time and all other classes or series of stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting together as a class) given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary to permit, effect or validate any one or more of the following: (i) the issuance or increase of the authorized amount of any class or series of shares ranking prior (as that term is defined in paragraph 9(a) hereof) to the shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or (ii) the amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, (including this resolution or any provision hereof) that would materially and adversely affect any power, preference, or special right of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or of the holders thereof; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock or authorized Preferred Stock or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock or the creation and issuance of other series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such powers, preferences or special rights. (c) The foregoing voting provisions shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of 6 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption. 6. Redemption Shares. The shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Corporation, as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time, upon not less than 30 days' prior notice mailed to the holders of the shares to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the stock books of the Corporation; provided, however, that shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to November 30, 2000. Subject to the foregoing, on or after such date, shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are redeemable at $200.00 per share together with an amount equal to all dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued and accumulated and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. If full cumulative dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock have not been paid, the Cumulative Preferred Stock may not be redeemed in part and the Corporation may not purchase or acquire any shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock otherwise than pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to all holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select those to be redeemed by lot or a substantially equivalent method. If a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this paragraph 6 and if, on or before the date fixed for redemption, the funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificates for such shares have not been surrendered for cancellation, on the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares to be redeemed, and at the close of business on the redemption date the holders of such shares shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claims against the Corporation by virtue thereof and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the moneys payable upon surrender (and endorsement, if required by the Corporation) of their certificates, and the shares evidenced thereby shall no longer be outstanding. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any moneys so set aside by the Corporation and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall revert to the general funds of the Corporation, after which reversion the holders of such shares so called for redemption shall look only to the general funds of the Corporation for the payment of the amounts payable upon such redemption. Any interest accrued on funds so deposited shall be paid to the Corporation from time to time. 7 7. Authorization and Issuance of Other Securities. No consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required for (a) the creation of any indebtedness of any kind of the Corporation, (b) the creation, or increase or decrease in the amount, of any class or series of stock of the Corporation not ranking prior as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up to the Cumulative Preferred Stock or (c) any increase or decrease in the amount of authorized Common Stock or any increase, decrease or change in the par value thereof or in any other terms thereof. 8. Amendment of Resolution. The Board and the Committee each reserves the right by subsequent amendment of this resolution from time to time to increase or decrease the number of shares that constitute the Cumulative Preferred Stock (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) and in other respects to amend this resolution within the limitations provided by law, this resolution and the Certificate of Incorporation. 9. Rank. For the purposes of this resolution, any stock of any class or classes of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank: (a) prior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; (b) on a parity with shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates, or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, if the holders of stock of such class or classes shall be entitled by the terms thereof to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributed upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without preference or priority of one over the other as between the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock (the term "Parity Preferred Stock" being used to refer to any stock on a parity with the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, as the context may require); and 8 (c) junior to shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or both, if such class shall be Common Stock or if the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of stock of such class or classes. The Cumulative Preferred Stock shall rank prior, as to dividends and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to the Common Stock and on a parity with (i) the Corporation's ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $35.88 per share, (ii) the Corporation's 9.36% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $25.00 per share, (iii) the Corporation's 8.88% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (iv) the Corporation's 8-3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (v) the Corporation's 7-3/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (vi) if issued, the Corporation's 7.82% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share, (vii) if issued, the Corporation's 7.80% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share (viii) if issued, the Corporation's 9.00% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share and (ix) if issued, the Corporation's 8.40% Cumulative Preferred Stock, with a liquidation value of $200.00 per share. 9 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Morgan Stanley Group Inc. has caused this Certificate to be made under the seal of the Corporation and signed by Richard B.

As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York and (i) with respect to Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or European Currency Units ("ECUs"), in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, (ii) with respect to Notes denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (iii) with respect to Notes denominated in ECUs, that is not a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris. Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date), unless this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and is to be paid in whole or in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof, maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other paying agency as the Issuer may determine, in U.S. dollars. U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or repayment, will be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is payable in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or repayment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date, provided that, if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register, and provided, further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the holder of this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of and any premium and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Senior Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be duly executed. DATED: MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. By:_________________________________ Title: TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Senior Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By:_________________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise provided on the face of this Note, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Note may be redeemed in accordance with the terms of any Extension Notice, as defined below, sent to the holder hereof as described below. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If so indicated on the face of this Note, the Issuer has the option to extend the Original Maturity Date hereof for one or more periods of one or more whole years (each an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond the Final Maturity Date specified on the face hereof and in connection therewith to establish a new interest rate and new redemption provisions for the Extension Period. The Issuer may exercise such option by notifying the Paying Agent of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to the Original Maturity Date or, if the maturity hereof has already been extended, prior to the maturity date then in effect (an "Extended Maturity Date"), such notice to be accompanied by the form of the Extension Notice referred to below. No later than 38 days prior to the Original Maturity Date or an Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, a "Maturity Date"), the Paying Agent will mail to the holder hereof a notice (the "Extension Notice") relating to such Extension Period, first class mail, postage prepaid, setting forth (a) the election of the Issuer to extend the maturity of this Note; (b) the new Extended Maturity Date; (c) the interest rate applicable to the Extension Period; and (d) the provisions, if any, for redemption during the Extension Period, including the date or dates on which, the period or periods during which and the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during the Extension Period. Upon the mailing by the Paying Agent of an Extension Notice to the holder of this Note, the maturity hereof shall be extended automatically, and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, this Note will have the same terms it had prior to the mailing of such Extension Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the twentieth calendar day prior to the Maturity Date in effect immediately preceding the mailing of the applicable Extension Notice (or if such day is not a Business Day, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), the Issuer may, at its option, revoke the interest rate provided for in such Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Paying Agent to send notice of such higher interest rate to the holder of this Note by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by such other means as shall be agreed between the Issuer and the Paying Agent. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Notes with respect to which the Maturity Date is extended in accordance with an Extension Notice will bear such higher interest rate for the Extension Period, whether or not tendered for repayment. If the Issuer elects to extend the maturity hereof, the holder of this Note will have the option to require the Issuer to repay this Note on the Maturity Date in effect immediately preceding the mailing of the applicable Extension Notice at a price equal to the principal amount hereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest to such date. In order for this Note to be so repaid on such Maturity Date, the holder hereof must follow the procedures set forth above for optional repayment, except that the period for delivery of this Note or notification to the Paying Agent shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Maturity Date in effect immediately preceding the mailing of the applicable Extension Notice and except that if the holder hereof has tendered this Note for repayment pursuant to this paragraph he may, by written notice to the Paying Agent, revoke any such tender for repayment until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the twentieth calendar day prior to the Maturity Date then in effect (or, if such day is not a Business Day, until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day). Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day. This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration," then (i) if the principal hereof is declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Senior Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Indenture.

Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until, but excluding the date the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment (except as provided below). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York and (i) with respect to Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or European Currency Units ("ECUs"), in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, (ii) with respect to Notes denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (iii) with respect to Notes denominated in ECUs, that is not a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris. Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date), unless this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and is to be paid in whole or in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof, maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other paying agency as the Issuer may determine, in U.S. dollars. U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or repayment, will be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is payable in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or repayment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date, provided that, if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register, and provided, further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the holder of this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of and any premium and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place, including, without limitation, the provisions relating to the subordination of this Note to the Issuer's Senior Indebtedness, as defined on the reverse hereof. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Subordinated Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be duly executed. DATED: MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. By:_______________________________ Title: AUTHENTICATING AGENT'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Subordinated Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Authenticating Agent By:_______________________________ Authorized Officer [REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Subordinated Global Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Subordinated Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Subordinated Indenture"), between the Issuer and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Subordinated Indenture), to which Subordinated Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Trustee has appointed Chemical Bank as Authenticating Agent (the "Authenticating Agent," which term includes any successor authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee) with respect to the Notes, and the Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Subordinated Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Subordinated Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Subordinated Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Note may be redeemed in accordance with the terms of any Extension Notice, as defined below, sent to the holder hereof as described below. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If so indicated on the face of this Note, the Issuer has the option to extend the Original Maturity Date hereof for one or more periods of one or more whole years (each an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond the Final Maturity Date specified on the face hereof and in connection therewith to establish a new interest rate and new redemption provisions for the Extension Period. The Issuer may exercise such option by notifying the Paying Agent of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to the Original Maturity Date or, if the maturity hereof has already been extended, prior to the maturity date then in effect (an "Extended Maturity Date"), such notice to be accompanied by the form of the Extension Notice referred to below. No later than 38 days prior to the Original Maturity Date or an Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, a "Maturity Date"), the Paying Agent will mail to the holder hereof a notice (the "Extension Notice") relating to such Extension Period, first class mail, postage prepaid, setting forth (a) the election of the Issuer to extend the maturity of this Note; (b) the new Extended Maturity Date; (c) the interest rate applicable to the Extension Period; and (d) the provisions, if any, for redemption during the Extension Period, including the date or dates on which, the period or periods during which and the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during the Extension Period. Upon the mailing by the Paying Agent of an Extension Notice to the holder of this Note, the maturity hereof shall be extended automatically, and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, this Note will have the same terms it had prior to the mailing of such Extension Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the twentieth calendar day prior to the Maturity Date in effect immediately preceding the mailing of the applicable Extension Notice (or if such day is not a Business Day, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), the Issuer may, at its option, revoke the interest rate provided for in such Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Paying Agent to send notice of such higher interest rate to the holder of this Note by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by such other means as shall be agreed between the Issuer and the Paying Agent. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Notes with respect to which the Maturity Date is extended in accordance with an Extension Notice will bear such higher interest rate for the Extension Period, whether or not tendered for repayment. If the Issuer elects to extend the maturity hereof, the holder of this Note will have the option to require the Issuer to repay this Note on the Maturity Date in effect immediately preceding the mailing of the applicable Extension Notice at a price equal to the principal amount hereof plus any accrued and unpaid interest to such date. In order for this Note to be so repaid on such Maturity Date, the holder hereof must follow the procedures set forth above for optional repayment, except that the period for delivery of this Note or notification to the Paying Agent shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Maturity Date in effect immediately preceding the mailing of the applicable Extension Notice and except that if the holder hereof has tendered this Note for repayment pursuant to this paragraph he may, by written notice to the Paying Agent, revoke any such tender for repayment until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the twentieth calendar day prior to the Maturity Date then in effect (or, if such day is not a Business Day, until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day). Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day. This Note and all other obligations of the Issuer hereunder will constitute part of the subordinated debt of the Issuer, will be issued under the Subordinated Indenture and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Indenture, to all "Senior Indebtedness" of the Issuer. The Subordinated Indenture defines "Senior Indebtedness" as obligations (other than non-recourse obligations, the debt securities, including this Note, issued under the Subordinated Indenture or any other obligations specifically designated as being subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness) of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Issuer for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, and amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligation. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. Chemical Bank has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the "Registrar," which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Subordinated Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Registrar, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Subordinated Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Subordinated Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Subordinated Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration," then (i) if the principal hereof is declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Subordinated Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Subordinated Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above. The Subordinated Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected; provided, however, that neither this Note nor the Subordinated Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions hereof or thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, in such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Subordinated Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Subordinated Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Morgan Stanley Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, on the Maturity Date the Payment Currency equivalent on the Maturity Date of the Fixed Amount of Indexed Currency determined in accordance with the procedures described below and to pay interest in the Denominated Currency based on the Face Amount hereof at the Interest Rate from and including the Interest Accrual Date until the principal amount due hereunder is paid or duly made available for payment, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually in arrears as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date, and on the Maturity Date, except as provided herein. Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until, but excluding the date the principal in respect of this Note has been paid or duly made available for payment (except as provided below). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid in the Denominated Currency (unless the Denominated Currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars and the holder hereof has elected, as described below, to be paid in U.S. dollars) to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Payments of interest hereon will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (which, if the Denominated Currency is not U.S. dollars, and the holder hereof has not elected to be paid in U.S. dollars, as described below, will be made to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States) if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof, in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If such wire transfer instructions are not so received, such interest payments, other than the interest payment due on the Maturity Date, will be made by check payable in the Denominated Currency, mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. Subject to certain exceptions described herein, payment of the principal in respect of this Note will be made in immediately available funds in the Payment Currency (or in U.S. dollars if the Payment Currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars and the holder hereof has elected, as described below, to be paid in U.S. dollars) and payment of the interest due hereon on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds in the Denominated Currency (or in U.S. dollars if the Denominated Currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars and the holder hereof has elected, as described below, to be paid in U.S. dollars), in each case upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if this Note is presented to the Paying Agent in time for it to make such payments in accordance with its normal procedures. The Payment Currency equivalent of any Indexed Currency amount on any date shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the quotations obtained by such agent from the Reference Dealers at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Exchange Rate Day (as defined on the reverse hereof) preceding such date for the purchase by the Reference Dealers of the Conversion Reference Amount of the Indexed Currency with the Payment Currency for settlement on such date; provided that if there is no cross-exchange rate available in New York City between the Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency, the quotations shall be calculated by the Exchange Rate Agent at the time referred to above using the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency as the basis for comparing the values of such currencies; provided further that if the Payment Currency and the Indexed Currency are identical, then the Payment Currency equivalent of any Indexed Currency amount shall be such amount. Unless otherwise indicated herein, if the Denominated Currency of this Note is a currency other than U.S. dollars, or if the Payment Currency is a currency other than U.S dollars, the holder may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. In the event of such an election, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars and payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Denominated Currency or Payment Currency, as the case may be, for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Denominated Currency or Payment Currency, as the case may be, payable in the absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Denominated or Payment Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Senior Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be duly executed. DATED: MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. By _______________________________ Title: TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Senior Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By _______________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date to such next succeeding Business Day. This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if the Denominated Currency is U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $100,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof, unless a higher minimum denomination is specified on the face hereof. If the Denominated Currency is not U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is specified on the face hereof, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $100,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Denominated Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Denominated Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of the Denominated Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having an aggregate Fixed Amount of Indexed Currency and Face Amount, in authorized denominations, equal to the respective amounts set forth on the face of this Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations having an aggregate Fixed Amount of Indexed Currency and Face Amount equal to the respective amounts set forth on the face of this Note and having otherwise identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. If the principal of this Note is declared to be due and payable prior to the Maturity Date, then (i) the amount payable with respect to this Note shall be paid in the Denominated Currency and shall equal the Face Amount hereof plus accrued interest to but excluding the date of payment, (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote (converted, if necessary, into U.S. dollars using the most recent Market Exchange Rate available on such date) and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above (converted, if necessary, into U.S. dollars using the most recent Market Exchange Rate available on the date of such vote). The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Payment Currency or a Denominated Currency, as the case may be, other than U.S. dollars and such currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Payment Currency or Denominated Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Morgan Stanley Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, on the Maturity Date the Payment Currency equivalent on the Maturity Date of the Fixed Amount of First Indexed Currency minus the Payment Currency equivalent on the Maturity Date of the Fixed Amount of Second Indexed Currency determined in accordance with the procedures described below and to pay interest in the Denominated Currency based on the Face Amount hereof at the Interest Rate from and including the Interest Accrual Date until the principal amount due hereunder is paid or duly made available for payment, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually in arrears as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date, and on the Maturity Date, except as provided herein; provided that the minimum amount payable in respect of principal at maturity shall be zero. Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until, but excluding the date the principal in respect of this Note has been paid or duly made available for payment (except as provided below). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid in the Denominated Currency (unless the Denominated Currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars and the holder has elected, as described below, to be paid in U.S. dollars) to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Payments of interest hereon will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (which, if the Denominated Currency is not U.S. dollars and the holder hereof has not elected to be paid in U.S. dollars, as described below, will be made to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States) if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof, in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If such wire transfer instructions are not so received, such interest payments, other than the interest payment due on the Maturity Date, shall be made by check payable in the Denominated Currency, mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. Subject to certain exceptions described herein, payment of the principal in respect of this Note will be made in immediately available funds in the Payment Currency (or in U.S. dollars if the Payment Currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars and the holder has elected, as described below, to be paid in U.S. dollars) and payment of the interest due hereon on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds in the Denominated Currency (or in U.S. dollars if the Denominated Currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars and the holder has elected, as described below, to be paid in U.S. dollars), in each case upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if this Note is presented to the Paying Agent in time for it to make such payments in accordance with its normal procedures. The Payment Currency equivalent of any First Indexed Currency amount on any date shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the quotations obtained by such agent from the Reference Dealers for the First Indexed Currency at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Exchange Rate Day (as defined on the reverse hereof) preceding such date for the purchase by such Reference Dealers of the First Conversion Reference Amount of the First Indexed Currency with the Payment Currency for settlement on such date; provided that if there is no cross-exchange rate available in New York City between the First Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency, the quotations shall be calculated by the Exchange Rate Agent at the time referred to above using the U.S. dollar equivalent of the First Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency as the basis for comparing the values of such currencies; provided further that if the Payment Currency and the First Indexed Currency are identical, then the Payment Currency equivalent of any First Indexed Currency amount shall be such amount. The Payment Currency equivalent of any Second Indexed Currency amount on any date shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the quotations obtained by such agent from the Reference Dealers for the Second Indexed Currency at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Exchange Rate Day (as defined on the reverse hereof) preceding such date for the sale by such Reference Dealers of the Second Conversion Reference Amount of the Second Indexed Currency for the Payment Currency for settlement on such date; provided that if there is no cross-exchange rate available in New York City between the Second Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency, the quotations shall be calculated by the Exchange Rate Agent at the time referred to above using the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Second Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency as the basis for comparing the values of such currencies; provided further that if the Payment Currency and the Second Indexed Currency are identical, then the Payment Currency equivalent of any Second Indexed Currency amount shall be such amount. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. Unless otherwise indicated herein, if the Denominated Currency of this Note is a currency other than U.S. dollars, or if the Payment Currency is a currency other than U.S dollars, the holder hereof may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. In the event of such an election, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars and payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Denominated or Payment Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Denominated or Payment Currency payable in the absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Denominated or Payment Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Senior Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be duly executed. DATED: MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. By _________________________ Title: TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Senior Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By _______________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date to such next succeeding Business Day. This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if the Denominated Currency is U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $100,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof, unless a higher minimum denomination is specified on the face hereof. If the Denominated Currency is not U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is specified on the face hereof, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $100,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Denominated Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Denominated Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of the Denominated Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having an aggregate Fixed Amount of First Indexed Currency, Fixed Amount of Second Indexed Currency and Face Amount, in authorized denominations, equal to the respective amounts set forth on the face of this Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations having an aggregate Fixed Amount of First Indexed Currency, Fixed Amount of Second Indexed Currency and Face Amount equal to the respective amounts set forth on the face of this Note and having otherwise identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. If the principal of this Note is declared to be due and payable prior to the Maturity Date, then (i) the amount payable with respect to this Note shall be paid in the Denominated Currency and shall equal the Face Amount hereof plus accrued interest to but excluding the date of payment, (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote (converted, if necessary, into U.S. dollars using the most recent Market Exchange Rate available on such date) and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above (converted, if necessary, into U.S. dollars using the most recent Market Exchange Rate available on the date of such vote). The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Payment Currency or a Denominated Currency, as the case may be, other than U.S. dollars and such currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Payment Currency or Denominated is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Company or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holder of the Note and coupons, if any. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. As used herein: (a) the term "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or executive order to close; provided that when a payment is due on such day in a currency other than U.S. dollars (a "Foreign Currency") such day must also be a business day in each city designated as a Financial Center for the Foreign Currency and, if such Foreign Currency is ECU, such day must not be a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris; (b) the term "Exchange Rate Day" means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or executive order to close and which is a business day in each of the cities designated as a Financial Center for the currencies being converted; provided that if any such currency is ECU, such day must not be a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris; and (c) all other terms used in this Note which are defined in the Senior Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Indenture.

Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until the principal in respect of this Note has been paid or duly made available for payment (except as provided below). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid in the Denominated Currency (unless the Denominated Currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars and the holder has elected, as described below, to be paid in U.S. dollars) to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Payments of interest hereon will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (which, if the Denominated Currency is not U.S. dollars and the holder hereof has not elected to be paid in U.S. dollars, as described below, will be made to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States) if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof, in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If such wire transfer instructions are not so received, such interest payments, other than the interest payment due on the Maturity Date, will be made by check payable in the Denominated Currency, mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. Subject to certain exceptions described herein, payment of the principal in respect of this Note will be made in immediately available funds in the Payment Currency (or in U.S. dollars if the Payment Currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars and the holder has elected, as described below, to be paid in U.S. dollars) and payment of the interest due hereon on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds in the Denominated Currency (or in U.S. dollars if the Denominated Currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars and the holder has elected, as described below, to be paid in U.S. dollars), in each case upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if this Note is presented to the Paying Agent in time for it to make such payments in accordance with its normal procedures. The Payment Currency equivalent of any First Indexed Currency amount on any date shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the quotations obtained by such agent from the Reference Dealers for the First Indexed Currency at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Exchange Rate Day (as defined on the reverse hereof) preceding such date for the purchase by such Reference Dealers of the First Conversion Reference Amount of the First Indexed Currency with the Payment Currency for settlement on such date; provided that if there is no cross-exchange rate available in New York City between the First Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency, the quotations shall be calculated by the Exchange Rate Agent at the time referred to above using the U.S. dollar equivalent of the First Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency as the basis for comparing the values of such currencies; provided further that if the Payment Currency and the First Indexed Currency are identical, then the Payment Currency equivalent of any First Indexed Currency amount shall be such amount. The Payment Currency equivalent of any Second Indexed Currency amount on any date shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the quotations obtained by such agent from the Reference Dealers for the Second Indexed Currency at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Exchange Rate Day (as defined on the reverse hereof) preceding such date for the [purchase/sale] by such Reference Dealers of the Second Conversion Reference Amount of the Second Indexed Currency [with/for] the Payment Currency for settlement on such date; provided that if there is no cross-exchange rate available in New York City between the Second Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency, the quotations shall be calculated by the Exchange Rate Agent at the time referred to above using the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Second Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency as the basis for comparing the values of such currencies; provided further that if the Payment Currency and the Second Indexed Currency are identical, then the Payment Currency equivalent of any Second Indexed Currency amount shall be such amount. The Payment Currency equivalent of any Third Indexed Currency amount on any date shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the arithmetic mean of the quotations obtained by such agent from the Reference Dealers for the Third Indexed Currency at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Exchange Rate Day (as defined on the reverse hereof) preceding such date for the [purchase/sale] by such Reference Dealers of the Third Conversion Reference Amount of the Third Indexed Currency [with/for] the Payment Currency for settlement on such date; provided that if there is no cross-exchange rate available in New York City between the Third Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency, the quotations shall be calculated by the Exchange Rate Agent at the time referred to above using the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Third Indexed Currency and the Payment Currency as the basis for comparing the values of such currencies; provided further that if the Payment Currency and the Third Indexed Currency are identical, then the Payment Currency equivalent of any Third Indexed Currency amount shall be such amount. Unless otherwise indicated herein, if the Denominated Currency of this Note is a currency other than U.S. dollars, or if the Payment Currency is a currency other than U.S dollars, the holder hereof may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. In the event of such an election, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars and payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Denominated or Payment Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Denominated or Payment Currency payable in the absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Denominated or Payment Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Senior Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be duly executed. DATED: MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. By _______________________________ Title: TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Senior Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By _______________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date to such next succeeding Business Day. This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if the Denominated Currency is U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $100,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof, unless a higher minimum denomination is specified on the face hereof. If the Denominated Currency is not U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is specified on the face hereof, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $100,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Denominated Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Denominated Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of the Denominated Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having an aggregate Fixed Amount of First Indexed Currency, Fixed Amount of Second Indexed Currency, Fixed Amount of Third Indexed Currency and Face Amount, in authorized denominations, equal to the respective amounts set forth on the face of this Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations having an aggregate Fixed Amount of First Indexed Currency, Fixed Amount of Second Indexed Currency, Fixed Amount of Third Indexed Currency and Face Amount equal to the respective amounts set forth on the face of this Note and having otherwise identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. If the principal of this Note is declared to be due and payable prior to the Maturity Date, then (i) the amount payable with respect to this Note shall be paid in the Denominated Currency and shall equal the Face Amount hereof plus accrued interest to but excluding the date of payment, (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote (converted, if necessary, into U.S. dollars using the most recent Market Exchange Rate available on such date) and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above (converted, if necessary, into U.S. dollars using the most recent Market Exchange Rate available on the date of such vote). The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Payment Currency or a Denominated Currency, as the case may be, other than U.S. dollars and such currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Payment Currency or Denominated Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. As used herein: (a) the term "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or executive order to close; provided that when a payment is due on such day in a currency other than U.S. dollars (a "Foreign Currency") such day must also be a business day in each city designated as a Financial Center for the Foreign Currency and, if such Foreign Currency is ECU, such day must not be a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris; (b) the term "Exchange Rate Day" means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or required by law or executive order to close and which is a business day in each of the cities designated as a Financial Center for the currencies being converted; provided that if any such currency is ECU, such day must not be a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris; and (c) all other terms used in this Note which are defined in the Senior Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Indenture.

Installments will be applied first to interest due and payable hereon and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal amount hereof. Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent Installment Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment (except as provided below).

"Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York and (i) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or European Currency Units ("ECUs"), in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, (ii) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (iii) if this Note is denominated in ECUs, that is not a non- ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris.

U.S. dollar payments of principal and interest, other than principal and interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or optional repayment, will be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Installment Payment Date, the interest on which is payable in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of principal and interest, other than principal and interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or optional repayment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Installment Payment Date. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date, provided that, if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register, and provided, further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the holder of this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of and any premium and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Senior Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or optional repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Senior Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Indenture.

The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next preceding Business Day. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York and (i) if this Note bears interest calculated by reference to LIBOR that is also a London Banking Day, (ii) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or ECUs, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, (iii) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (iv) if this Note is denominated in ECUs, that is not a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris.

Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CD Rate, the CD Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)"), under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 "Certificates of Deposit." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent referred to on the face hereof and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for certificates of deposit in an amount that is representative of a single transaction at that time with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 United States money center banks; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the CD Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate).

If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers in commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate).

Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified Designated LIBOR Page (as defined below) by its terms provides only for a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, which appear on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, each as designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or if no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), LIBOR in respect of that Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii) below. (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), 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 (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency, if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar) that is representative of 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 Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations.

"Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified as Index Currency on the face hereof. If no such currency is specified as Index Currency on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars. "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency. If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate (and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, Page 3750) had been specified. Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate set forth in H.15(519) for such date opposite the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank named on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page on such Interest Determination Date, or, if fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page for such Interest Determination Date, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by at least two of the three major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent from which quotations are requested. If fewer than two quotations are provided, 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 in The City of New York by the appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, in each case having total equity capital of at least U.S. $500 million and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to quote such rate or rates; provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as set forth above, the "Prime Rate" in effect for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page" means the display designated as Page "USPRIME 1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the USPRIME 1 Page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks).

If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate for the auction held on such date of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Treasury Bills-- auction average (investment)," or if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate on such Interest Determination Date (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 the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate displayed for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof on the Designated CMT Telerate Page under the caption "Daily Treasury Constant Maturities and Money Markets/Federal Reserve Board Release H.15," under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such 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 Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or is not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 Interest Determination Date with respect to the related 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 time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the 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 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 (which may include affiliates of the Issuer) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer), 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 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 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 Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, 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 for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service specified on the face hereof (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 on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index" shall be the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR, as specified on the face hereof, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate, as specified on the face hereof. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Company shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Company shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Company, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Company, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Company or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Company or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Note and coupons, if any. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Senior Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Indenture.

Morgan Stanley Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assignees, the principal sum of on the Maturity Date specified above (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to the Maturity Date) and to pay interest thereon, from and including the Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, and thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. The Issuer will pay interest in arrears monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date); provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; and provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date) would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is LIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day; and provided, further, that if the Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date shall be on the following day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Maturity Date or redemption or repayment date. Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until but excluding the date the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), unless this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and is to be paid in whole or in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof, maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other paying agency as the Issuer may determine, in U.S. dollars. U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption or repayment, will be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is payable in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption or repayment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date, provided that, if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register, and provided, further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the holder of this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or on any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of and any premium and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place, including, without limitation, the provisions relating to the subordination of this Note to the Issuer's Senior Indebtedness, as defined on the reverse hereof.

Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date (as used herein, the term "Interest Reset Date" shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next preceding Business Day. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York and (i) if this Note bears interest calculated by reference to LIBOR that is also a London Banking Day, (ii) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or ECUs, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, (iii) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (iv) if this Note is denominated in ECUs, that is not a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris.

Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CD Rate, the CD Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)"), under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 "Certificates of Deposit." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent referred to on the face hereof and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for certificates of deposit in an amount that is representative of a single transaction at that time with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 United States money center banks; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the CD Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein) of the rate on such date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper," or if not so published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Commercial Paper." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers in commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Money Market Yield" shall be the 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 applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof. Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate."

Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified Designated LIBOR Page (as defined 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 for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, which appear on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, each as designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or if no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), LIBOR in respect of that Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii) below. (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), 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 (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar) that is representative of 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 Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. (or such other time specified on the face hereof), in the applicable principal financial center for the country of the Index Currency on such Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in such principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) on such Interest Determination Date for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date) and in a principal amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar) that is representative of a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as mentioned in this sentence, "LIBOR" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the LIBOR Notes for which LIBOR is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified as Index Currency on the face hereof. If no such currency is specified as Index Currency on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars. "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency. If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate (and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, Page 3750) had been specified. Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate set forth in H.15(519) for such date opposite the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank named on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page on such Interest Determination Date, or, if fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page for such Interest Determination Date, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by at least two of the three major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent from which quotations are requested. If fewer than two quotations are provided, 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 in The City of New York by the appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, in each case having total equity capital of at least U.S. $500 million and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to quote such rate or rates; provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as set forth above, the "Prime Rate" in effect for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page" means the display designated as Page "USPRIME1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the USPRIME1 Page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks). Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate for the auction held on such date of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Treasury Bills-- auction average (investment)," or if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate on such Interest Determination Date (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 the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate displayed for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof on the Designated CMT Telerate Page under the Caption "Daily Treasury Constant Maturities and Money Markets/Federal Reserve Board Release H.15 under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such 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 Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or is not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 Interest Determination Date with respect to the related 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 time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the 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 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 (which may include affiliates of the Issuer) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer), 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 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 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 Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, 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 for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service specified on the face hereof (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 on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index" shall be the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR, as specified on the face hereof, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate, as specified on the face hereof. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). This Note and all other obligations of the Issuer hereunder will constitute part of the subordinated debt of the Issuer, will be issued under the Subordinated Indenture and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Indenture, to all "Senior Indebtedness" of the Issuer. The Subordinated Indenture defines "Senior Indebtedness" as obligations (other than non-recourse obligations, the debt securities, including this Note, issued under the Subordinated Indenture or any other obligations specifically designated as being subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness) of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Issuer for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, and amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligation. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded down to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. Chemical Bank has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the "Registrar," which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Subordinated Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Registrar, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Subordinated Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Subordinated Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Subordinated Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Subordinated Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected; provided, however, that neither this Note nor the Subordinated Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions hereof or thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Subordinated Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Subordinated Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Subordinated Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Subordinated Indenture.

The Issuer will pay interest in arrears monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Initial Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, a "Maturity Date"), or any redemption date; provided, however, if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or redemption date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or redemption date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is LIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or redemption date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. As used herein, "Extended Maturity Date" means the Maturity Extension Date (as specified above) occurring in the month twelve months after the most recent Election Date on which the maturity of this Note has been extended pursuant to the provisions set forth below. Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the Interest Accrual Date, until, but excluding the date (a) the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment or (b) this Note has been cancelled in accordance with the provisions set forth below. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date (or any redemption date) shall be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. On each Election Date, the maturity of this Note shall be extended to the Maturity Extension Date occurring in the month twelve months following such Election Date, unless, in any such case, the holder hereof elects to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof or of any portion hereof having a principal amount of $1,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof by delivering to the Trustee 15 days prior to the applicable Election Date (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Termination of Automatic Extension" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor or terms, a statement that the option to elect termination of automatic extension is being exercised thereby, the principal amount hereof with respect to which such option is being exercised and a guarantee that this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Termination of Automatic Extension" below duly completed will be received by the Trustee no later than five Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall not be effective unless this Note and such form duly completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. Such option may be exercised by the holder for less than the entire principal amount hereof provided that the principal amount for which such option is not exercised is at least $1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. If the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity of any portion hereof is exercised, a new Note or Notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a "Short-Term Note") for the principal amount hereof for which such option was exercised and having as its or their "Maturity Date" (as such term is used in each such Short-Term Note) the Maturity Extension Date occurring in the month twelve months after such Election Date shall be issued on such Election Date in the name of the holder hereof and Schedule I hereto shall be annotated as of such Election Date to reflect the corresponding decrease in the principal amount hereof. If any exercise of the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof causes the principal amount of this Note to be reduced to zero, this Note shall nevertheless not be cancelled until the date on which all outstanding Short-Term Notes issued in exchange for this Note shall have been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maturity of this Note shall not be extended beyond the Final Maturity Date specified above. If the holder of any Short-Term Note elects to exchange all or a portion of such Short-Term Note for an interest in this Note in accordance with the terms of such Short-Term Note, Schedule I hereto shall be annotated on the date of such exchange to reflect the corresponding increase in the principal amount hereof. Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at the Maturity Date (or any redemption date), unless this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and is to be paid in whole or in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Trustee, as defined on the reverse hereof, maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at the office or agency of such other paying agent as the Issuer may determine in U.S. dollars. U.S. dollars payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption, will be made by United States dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is payable in U.S. dollars, will be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Trustee in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date, provided that, if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register, and provided, further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the holder of this Note denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption date, as the case may be. If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of and any premium and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If this Note ceases to be held by The Depository Trust Company or its successor or the nominee of The Depository Trust Company or its successor, this Note will be exchanged for one or more Notes of authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note as then shown on Schedule I hereto, which new Notes shall otherwise have the same terms as this Note, except that the provisions of such new Notes regarding the termination of the automatic extension of the maturity thereof shall be modified to the extent appropriate for notes not required to be held in a securities depositary; provided that the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holders of such new Notes shall be the same in all material respects as the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holder of this Note. Such new Notes shall have stated principal amounts and shall be registered in the names of the persons then having a beneficial interest in this Note or in the names of their nominees. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Senior Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be duly executed. DATED: MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC.

If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CD Rate, the CD Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)"), under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 "Certificates of Deposit." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent referred to on the face hereof and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for certificates of deposit in the denomination of $5,000,000 with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 United States money center banks of the highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the CD Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein) of the rate on such date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper," or if not so published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Commercial Paper." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers in commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Money Market Yield" shall be the 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 applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated. Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate for such 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 as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date arranged by three leading brokers in Federal funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified Designated LIBOR Page (as defined 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 for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, which appear on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, each as designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date) that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or if no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), LIBOR in respect of that Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii) below. (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), 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 (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency) (if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar)) that is representative of 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 Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. (or such other time specified on the face hereof), in the applicable principal financial center for the country of the Index Currency on such Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in such principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) on such Interest Determination Date for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date) and in a principal amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency) (if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar)) that is representative of a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as mentioned in this sentence, "LIBOR" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the LIBOR Notes for which LIBOR is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified as Index Currency on the face hereof. If no such currency is specified as Index Currency on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars. "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency. If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate (and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, Page 3750) had been specified. Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate set forth in H.15(519) for such date opposite the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank named on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page on such Interest Determination Date, or, if fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page for such Interest Determination Date, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by at least two of the three major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent from which quotations are requested. If fewer than two quotations are provided, 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 in The City of New York by the appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, in each case having total equity capital of at least U.S. $500 million and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to quote such rate or rates; provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as set forth above, the "Prime Rate" in effect for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page" means the display designated as Page "USPRIME 1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page that may replace the USPRIME 1 Page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks). Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate for the auction held on such date of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Treasury Bills--auction average (investment)," or if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate on such Interest Determination Date (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 the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate displayed for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof on the Designated CMT Telerate Page under the caption "Daily Treasury Constant Maturities and Money Markets/Federal Reserve Board Release H.15 under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such 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 Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or is not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 Interest Determination Date with respect to the related 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 time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the 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 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 (which may include affiliates of the Issuer) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer), 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 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 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 Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, 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 for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service specified on the face hereof (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 on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index" shall be the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon for any period shall be the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the interest factor calculated for each day in such period by the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule I hereto for each such day; provided that for the purpose of calculating the amount of interest payable hereon, any decrease in the principal amount hereof attributable to an exercise of the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof shall be effective on and as of the Election Date corresponding to the exercise of such option, and any increase in the principal amount hereof shall be effective on and as of the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of such increase. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR, as specified on the face hereof, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate, as specified on the face hereof. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). This Note, and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or an amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published by the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Company shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Company shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Company, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Company, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Company or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Company or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Note and coupons, if any. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee for the payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified Designated LIBOR Page (as defined 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 for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, which appear on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, each as designated on the face hereof, commencing on the Second London Banking Day following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds Sterling is the Index Currency commencing on such Interest Determination Date) that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or if no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), LIBOR in respect of that Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii) below. (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), 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 (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency (if the Index Currency is not U.S. Dollars)) that is representative of 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 Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. (or such other time specified on the face hereof), in the applicable principal financial center for the country of the Index Currency on such Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in such principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) on such Interest Determination Date for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date) and in a principal amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency (if the Index Currency is not U.S. dollars)) that is representative of a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as mentioned in this sentence, "LIBOR" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the LIBOR Notes for which LIBOR is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified as Index Currency on the face hereof. If no such currency is specified as Index Currency on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars. "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency. If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate (and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, Page 3750) had been specified. Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate set forth in H.15(519) for such date opposite the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank named on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page on such Interest Determination Date, or, if fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page for such Interest Determination Date, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by at least two of the three major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent from which quotations are requested. If fewer than two quotations are provided, 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 in The City of New York by the appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, in each case having total equity capital of at least U.S. $500 million and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to quote such rate or rates; provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as set forth above, the "Prime Rate" in effect for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page" means the display designated as Page "USPRIME 1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rate Service (or such other page that may replace the USPRIME 1 Page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks). Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate for the auction held on such date of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Treasury Bills--auction average (investment)," or if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate on such Interest Determination Date (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 the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate displayed for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof on the Designated CMT Telerate Page under the caption "Daily Treasury Constant Maturities and Money Markets/Federal Reserve Board Release H.15," under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such 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 Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or is not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 Interest Determination Date with respect to the related 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 time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the 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 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 (which may include affiliates of the Issuer) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer), 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 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 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 Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, 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 for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service specified on the face hereof (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 on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index" shall be the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or Maturity Date, as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon for any period shall be the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the interest factor calculated for each day in such period by the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule I hereto for each such day; provided that for the purpose of calculating the amount of interest payable hereon, any decrease in the principal amount hereof attributable to an exercise of the option to exchange a portion of this Note for an interest in the Renewable Note shall be effective on and as of the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of such decrease. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR, as specified on the face hereof, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate, as specified on the face hereof. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one- millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). This Note, and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Company shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Company shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Company, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Company, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Company or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Company or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Note and coupons, if any. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee for the payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Senior Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Indenture.

Morgan Stanley Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assignees, the principal sum specified in Schedule I hereto on the Initial Maturity Date specified above or, to the extent the maturity date of any portion of the principal amount of this Note is extended in accordance with the procedures set forth below to an Extended Maturity Date, as defined below, on such Extended Maturity Date (except to the extent such portion is redeemed prior to such Extended Maturity Date) and to pay interest on the principal amount hereof outstanding from time to time, from the Interest Accrual Date specified above at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above, and thereafter at a rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions specified on the reverse hereof until (a) the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment or (b) this Note has been cancelled in accordance with the provisions set forth below. The Issuer will pay interest in arrears monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Initial Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, a "Maturity Date"), or any redemption date; provided, however, if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date or redemption date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or redemption date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is LIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date or redemption date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. As used herein, "Extended Maturity Date" means the Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months after the Initial Maturity Date and each Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months after the immediately preceding Extended Maturity Date. Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the Interest Accrual Date, until (a) the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment or (b) this Note has been cancelled in accordance with the provisions set forth below. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date (or any redemption date) shall be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. On the Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months prior to the Initial Maturity Date (the "Initial Election Date"), the maturity of this Note shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date occurring in the month twelve months following the Initial Election Date and on the Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months prior to each Extended Maturity Date (an "Election Date," which term shall include the Initial Election Date), the maturity of this Note shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date occurring in the month twelve months after such Election Date, unless, in any such case, the holder hereof elects to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof or of any portion hereof having a principal amount of $1,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof by delivering to the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof, not less than 23 nor more than 30 days prior to the applicable Election Date (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Termination of Automatic Extension" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor or terms, a statement that the option to elect termination of automatic extension is being exercised thereby, the principal amount hereof with respect to which such option is being exercised and a guarantee that this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Termination of Automatic Extension" below duly completed will be received by the Paying Agent no later than five Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall not be effective unless this Note and such form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Such option may be exercised by the holder for less than the entire principal amount hereof provided that the principal amount for which such option is not exercised is at least $1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. The exercise of such option may be withdrawn before or after the applicable Election Date, pursuant to the procedures described on the reverse hereof and in a Short-Term Note (as defined below). If the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity of any portion hereof is exercised and not withdrawn prior to the applicable Election Date in accordance with such procedures, a new Note or Notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a "Short-Term Note") for the principal amount hereof for which such option was exercised and not withdrawn shall be issued on such Election Date in the name of the holder hereof and Schedule I hereto shall be annotated as of such Election Date to reflect the corresponding decrease in the principal amount hereof. Each such Short-Term Note shall have as its "Maturity Date" (as such term is used in such Short-Term Note) the Interest Payment Date occurring in the month six months after such Election Date and shall have as its Spread or Spread Multiplier, as the case may be, the Spread or Spread Multiplier applicable to this Note on the day prior to the issuance of such Short-Term Note. If any exercise of the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof causes the principal amount of this Note to be reduced to zero, this Note shall nevertheless not be cancelled until the date on which all outstanding Short-Term Notes issued in exchange for this Note shall have been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maturity of this Note shall not be extended beyond the Final Maturity Date specified above. If the holder of any Short-Term Note exchanges all or a portion of such Short-Term Note for an interest in this Note in accordance with the terms of such Short-Term Note, Schedule I hereto shall be annotated on the date of such exchange to reflect the corresponding increase in the principal amount hereof. Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at the Maturity Date (or any redemption date), unless this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and is to be paid in whole or in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at the office or agency of such other paying agent as the Issuer may determine in U.S. dollars. U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption, will be made by United States dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is payable in U.S. dollars, will be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date, provided that, if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register, and provided, further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the holder of this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption date, as the case may be. If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of and any premium and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If this Note ceases to be held by The Depository Trust Company or its successor or the nominee of The Depository Trust Company or its successor, this Note will be exchanged for one or more Notes of authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note as then shown on Schedule I hereto, which new Notes shall otherwise have the same terms as this Note, except that the provisions of such new Notes regarding the termination of the automatic extension of the maturity thereof shall be modified to the extent appropriate for notes not required to be held in a securities depositary; provided that the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holders of such new Notes shall be the same in all material respects as the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holder of this Note. Such new Notes shall have stated principal amounts and shall be registered in the names of the persons then having a beneficial interest in this Note or in the names of their nominees. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place, including, without limitation, the provisions relating to the subordination of this Note to the Issuer's Senior Indebtedness, as defined on the reverse hereof. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Subordinated Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be duly executed. DATED: MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. By: Title: AUTHENTICATING AGENT'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes referred to in the within- mentioned Subordinated Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Authenticating Agent By:____________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Subordinated Global Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Subordinated Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Subordinated Indenture"), between the Issuer and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Subordinated Indenture), to which Subordinated Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Trustee has appointed Chemical Bank as Authenticating Agent (the "Authenticating Agent," which term includes any successor authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee) with respect to the Notes, and the Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Subordinated Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Subordinated Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following paragraph, will not be redeemable prior to maturity. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on the Redemption Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 180 nor more than 210 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Subordinated Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, (a) specified on the face hereof, (b) if the Spread or Spread Multiplier is reset in accordance with the procedures specified below, then as determined pursuant to such procedures, or (c) if a holder of a Short-Term Note has exchanged such Note for an interest in this Note in response to an Optional Exchange Notice (as defined in such Short-Term Note), then as set forth in such Optional Exchange Notice. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date (as used herein, the term "Interest Reset Date" shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date) The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof will be the Initial Interest Rate. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next preceding Business Day. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York and, with respect to Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR, in the City of London. If so indicated on the face of this Note, the Issuer has the option to reset the Spread or Spread Multiplier on this Note as of any Election Date. Such option shall include the right to reset the Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate on this Note. The Issuer may exercise such option by notifying the Paying Agent of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to an Election Date, such notice to be accompanied by the form of the Reset Notice referred to below. Not later than 38 days prior to such Election Date, the Paying Agent will mail to the holder hereof a notice (the "Reset Notice"), first class mail, postage prepaid, setting forth (a) the election of the Issuer to reset the Spread or Spread Multiplier and (b) such new Spread or Spread Multiplier, together with any new Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate. If the face hereof indicates that the Issuer has the option to reset the Spread or Spread Multiplier on this Note, then, if the holder of this Note elects to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof or any portion hereof as of any Election Date, the Issuer may, not later than the later of (a) the twentieth calendar day prior to such Election Date and (b) the first Business Day following the twenty-third calendar day prior to such Election Date, propose a new Spread or Spread Multiplier or revoke a Spread or Spread Multiplier previously set forth in a Reset Notice and propose a higher Spread or Spread Multiplier, in either case together with any new Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate, by causing the Paying Agent to send notice thereof, to the holder of this Note by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by such other means as shall be agreed between the Issuer and the Paying Agent. If the Issuer has proposed a new or higher Spread or Spread Multiplier as described above, the holder hereof may withdraw his election to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof or any portion hereof by giving written notice to such effect to the Paying Agent not less than 16 days prior to such Election Date (or if such sixteenth day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day), in which case such new or higher Spread or Spread Multiplier, together with any new Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate, will apply to the entire principal amount of this Note from such Election Date until the Maturity Date or until the Spread or Spread Multiplier is further reset by the Issuer pursuant to the provisions hereof or of a Short-Term Note. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day next preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR shall be the second London Banking Day preceding such Interest Reset Date, except that the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a LIBOR Note for which the Index Currency is pounds sterling will be such Interest Reset Date. As used herein, "London Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in the Index Currency (as defined herein) are transacted in the London interbank market. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned; provided, however, that if as a result of a legal holiday an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date" pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CD Rate, the CD Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)"), under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 "Certificates of Deposit." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent referred to on the face hereof and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for certificates of deposit in the denomination of $5,000,000 with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 United States money center banks of the highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the CD Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein) of the rate on such date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper," or if not so published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Commercial Paper." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers in commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Money Market Yield" shall be the 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 applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof. Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate for such 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 as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date arranged by three leading brokers in Federal funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified Designated LIBOR Page (as defined 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 for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, which appear on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, each as designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or if no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), LIBOR in respect of that Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii) below. (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), 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 (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency(if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar)) that is representative of 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 Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. (or such other time specified on the face hereof), in the applicable principal financial center for the country of the Index Currency on such Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in such principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) on such Interest Determination Date for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date) and in a principal amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency(if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar)) that is representative of a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as mentioned in this sentence, "LIBOR" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the LIBOR Notes for which LIBOR is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified as Index Currency on the face hereof. If no such currency is specified as Index Currency on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars. "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency. If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate (and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, Page 3750) had been specified. Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate set forth in H.15(519) for such date opposite the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank named on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page on such Interest Determination Date, or, if fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page for such Interest Determination Date, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by at least two of the three major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent from which quotations are requested. If fewer than two quotations are provided, 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 in The City of New York by the appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, in each case having total equity capital of at least U.S. $500 million and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to quote such rate or rates; provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as set forth above, the "Prime Rate" in effect for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page" means the display designated as Page "USPRIME 1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the USPRIME 1 Page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks). Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate for the auction held on such date of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Treasury Bills--auction average (investment)," or if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate on such Interest Determination Date (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 the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate displayed for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof on the designated Telerate Page under the caption "Daily Treasury Constant Maturities and Money Markets/Federal Reserve Board Release H.15" under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such 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 Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or is not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 Interest Determination Date with respect to the related 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 time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the 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 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 (which may include affiliates of the Issuer) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer), 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 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 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 Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, 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 for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If two Treasury notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service specified on the face hereof (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 on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index" shall be the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof or, if the Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate is reset in accordance with the procedures referred to above, as determined pursuant to such procedures. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon for any period shall be the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the interest factor calculated for each day in such period by the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule I hereto for each such day; provided that for the purpose of calculating the amount of interest payable hereon, any decrease in the principal amount hereof attributable to an exercise of the option to terminate the automatic extension of the maturity hereof shall be effective on and as of the Election Date corresponding to the exercise of such option, and any increase in the principal amount hereof shall be effective on and as of the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of such increase. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR, as specified on the face hereof, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate, as specified on the face hereof. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). This Note and all other obligations of the Issuer hereunder will constitute part of the subordinated debt of the Issuer, will be issued under the Subordinated Indenture and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Indenture, to all "Senior Indebtedness" of the Issuer. The Subordinated Indenture defines "Senior Indebtedness" as obligations (other than non-recourse obligations, the debt securities, including this Note, issued under the Subordinated Indenture or any other obligations specifically designated as being subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness) of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Issuer for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, and amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligation. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. Chemical Bank has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the "Registrar," which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Subordinated Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Registrar, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Subordinated Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Subordinated Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Subordinated Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected; provided, however, that neither this Note nor the Subordinated Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions hereof or thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Company shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the Registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Company shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Company, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Company, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Company or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Company or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Note and coupons, if any. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Subordinated Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Subordinated Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Subordinated Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Subordinated Indenture.

The Issuer will pay interest hereon in arrears monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as specified above as the Interest Payment Period on each Interest Payment Date (as specified above), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date or any redemption date; provided, however, if the Interest Accrual Date occurs between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that if an Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof, such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date shall be the following day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified above is LIBOR and such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date shall be the immediately preceding day that is a Business Day. As used herein, "Initial Interest Rate" means the rate of interest determined using the Spread or Spread Multiplier, as the case may be, specified in the Renewable Note and using the Base Rate determined in accordance with the provisions of the Renewable Note (i) on the Interest Reset Date with respect to the Renewable Note occurring on the Interest Accrual Date specified above or (ii) if no such Interest Reset Date occurred on the Interest Accrual Date, on the Interest Reset Date with respect to the Renewable Note occurring immediately preceding the Interest Accrual Date. Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the Interest Accrual Date, until the earlier of (a) the date on which the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment and (b) the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date on which the principal amount hereof is reduced to zero in accordance with the provisions set forth below. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable. On any date following the Original Issue Date and prior to the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the holder hereof may, with the consent of the Issuer, exchange this Note or any portion hereof having a principal amount of $1,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof for an interest in the Renewable Note equal to the principal amount hereof so exchanged by delivering to the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Request to Exchange" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor or terms, a statement that a request to exchange is being made thereby, the principal amount hereof with respect to which such request is being made and a guarantee that this Note with the form entitled "Request to Exchange" below duly completed will be received by the Paying Agent no later than five Business Days after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall not be effective unless this Note and such form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Such exchange may occur with respect to less than the entire principal amount hereof provided that the principal amount for which such exchange does not occur is at least $1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a request to exchange all or a portion of this Note for an interest in the Renewable Note may not be made during the period from and including a Record Date to but excluding the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date. If a request to exchange any portion hereof is granted by the Issuer, then, on the date of such exchange, Schedule I hereto shall be annotated to reflect the corresponding decrease in the principal amount hereof, and Schedule I to the Renewable Note shall be annotated to reflect the corresponding increase in the principal amount thereof. Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at the Maturity Date (or any redemption date), unless this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. Dollars and is to be paid in whole, or in part in such Specified Currency, will be made in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at the office or agency of such other paying agent as the Issuer may determine in U.S. dollars. U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption, will be made by United States dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is paid in U.S. dollars, will be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date, provided that, if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register, and provided, further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the holder of this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption date, as the case may be. If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of and any premium and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If this Note ceases to be held by The Depository Trust Company or its successor or the nominee of The Depository Trust Company or its successor, this Note will be exchanged for one or more Notes of authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note as then shown on Schedule I hereto, which new Notes shall otherwise have the same terms as this Note, except that the provisions of such new Notes regarding the exchange thereof for an interest in a note providing for the automatic extension of the maturity thereof (a "New Renewable Note") shall be modified to the extent appropriate for notes not required to be held in a securities depositary; provided that the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holders of such new Notes shall be the same in all material respects as the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holder of this Note. The terms of the New Renewable Note shall be the same as the terms of the Renewable Note, except that the principal amount thereof shall equal the principal amount of the new Notes exchanged therefor and the provisions of such New Renewable Notes regarding the automatic extension of the maturity thereof shall be modified to the extent appropriate for notes not required to be held in a securities depositary; provided that the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holders of such New Renewable Notes shall be the same in all material respects as the respective rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holder of the Renewable Note. Such new Notes shall have stated principal amounts and shall be registered in the names of the persons then having a beneficial interest in this Note or in the names of their nominees. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place, including, without limitation, the provisions relating to the subordination of this Note to the Issuer's Senior Indebtedness, as defined on the reverse hereof.

If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next preceding Business Day. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, and that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York and, with respect to Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR, in the City of London. If so indicated on the face of this Note, the Issuer may from time to time offer to reset the Spread or Spread Multiplier, as the case may be, on the Renewable Note by causing the Paying Agent to send to the holder hereof a notice (an "Optional Exchange Notice") by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by such other means as shall be agreed between the Issuer and the Paying Agent, setting forth (a) the new Spread or Spread Multiplier to be applied to the Renewable Note, together with any change in the Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate, and (b) the date, if any, on which such offer will expire.

Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CD Rate, the CD Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)"), under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in its daily statistical release "Composite 3:30 P.M.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein) of the rate on such date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper," or if not so published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Commercial Paper."

"Money Market Yield" shall be the 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 applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof. Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate."

Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified Designated LIBOR Page (as defined 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 for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, which appear on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, each as designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds Sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or if no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), LIBOR in respect of that Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii) below. (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), 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 (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds Sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency (if the Index Currency is not U.S. dollars)) that is representative of 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 Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. (or such other time specified on the face hereof), in the applicable principal financial center for the country of the Index Currency on such Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in such principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) on such Interest Determination Date for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds Sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date) and in a principal amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency (if the Index Currency is not U.S. Dollars)) that is representative of a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as mentioned in this sentence, "LIBOR" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the LIBOR Notes for which LIBOR is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified as Index Currency on the face hereof. If no such currency is specified as Index Currency on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars. "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency. If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate (and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, Page 3750) had been specified. Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate set forth in H.15(519) for such date opposite the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank named on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page on such Interest Determination Date, or, if fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page for such Interest Determination Date, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by at least two of the three major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent from which quotations are requested. If fewer than two quotations are provided, 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 in The City of New York by the appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, in each case having total equity capital of at least U.S. $500 million and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to quote such rate or rates; provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as set forth above, the "Prime Rate" in effect for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page" means the display designated as Page "USPRIME 1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the USPRIME 1 Page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks).

In the event that the results of the auction of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate displayed for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof on the Designated CMT Telerate Page under the caption "Daily Treasury Constant Maturities and Money Markets/Federal Reserve Board Release H.15," under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such 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 Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or is not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 Interest Determination Date with respect to the related 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 time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the 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 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 (which may include affiliates of the Issuer) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer), 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 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 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 Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, 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 for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service specified on the face hereof (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 on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index" shall be the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or Maturity Date, as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon for any period shall be the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the interest factor calculated for each day in such period by the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule I hereto for each such day; provided that for the purpose of calculating the amount of interest payable hereon, any decrease in the principal amount hereof attributable to an exchange of a portion of this Note for an interest in the Renewable Note shall be effective on and as of the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of such decrease. The interest factor for each such day shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR, as specified on the face hereof, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate, as specified on the face hereof. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). This Note and all other obligations of the Issuer hereunder will constitute part of the subordinated debt of the Issuer, will be issued under the Subordinated Indenture and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Indenture, to all "Senior Indebtedness" of the Issuer. The Subordinated Indenture defines "Senior Indebtedness" as obligations (other than non-recourse obligations, the debt securities, including this Note, issued under the Subordinated Indenture or any other obligations specifically designated as being subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness) of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Issuer for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, and amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligation. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. Chemical Bank has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the "Registrar," which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Subordinated Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Registrar, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Subordinated Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Subordinated Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Subordinated Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Subordinated Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Subordinated Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected; provided, however, that neither this Note nor the Subordinated Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions hereof or thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Company shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the Registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Company shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Company, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Company, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Company or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Company or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Note and coupons, if any. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Subordinated Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Subordinated Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Subordinated Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Subordinated Indenture.

A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is payable in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption or repayment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date, provided that, if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register, and provided, further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph. Unless otherwise indicated herein, the holder of this Note denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, may elect to receive all or a portion of payments on this Note in U.S. dollars by transmitting a written request to the Paying Agent, on or prior to the Record Date or at least ten Business Days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of and any premium and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such an election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Senior Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be duly executed. DATED: MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. By:_______________________________ Title: TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes referred to in the within- mentioned Senior Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By:_______________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this Note, this Note shall not be subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to the Maturity Date. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment. For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the following formula: I = SR - (RRM x RR X CF) where "I" is the interest rate for the Interest Reset Period, "SR" is the Set Rate shown on the face hereof, "RRM" is the Reference Rate Multiplier shown on the face hereof, "RR" is the Reference Rate determined in the manner set forth below and "CF" is the Conversion Factor calculated in the manner set forth below. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date (as used herein, the term "Interest Reset Date" shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, and that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York or the City of London or (i) with respect to Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, European Currency Units ("ECUs") or Australian dollars, in the capital city of the country of the Specified Currency, (ii) with respect to Notes denominated in ECUs, that is not a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris or (iii) with respect to Notes denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date shall be the second London Banking Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. As used herein, "London Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in the Reference Rate Currency are transacted in the London interbank market. As used herein, "Interest Reset Period" means initially the period from and including the Original Issue Date specified on the face hereof to but excluding the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof and thereafter the period from and including an Interest Reset Date (including the Initial Interest Reset Date) to but excluding the next succeeding Interest Reset Date (or, if applicable, the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof). Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date" pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Determination of Reference Rate. The Reference Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in the Reference Rate Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof which appears at the Reference Rate Location specified on the face hereof at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. (ii) If fewer than two offered rates appear at the Reference Rate Location, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major 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 Reference Rate Currency for the period of the Index Maturity to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, the Reference Rate will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the Reference Rate in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major banks located in the city which is the principal financial center of the country which issues the Reference Rate Currency (the "Reference City") selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) at approximately 11:00 A.M., Reference City time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in the Reference Rate Currency to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if fewer than three banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Reference Rate for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Reference Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Calculation of Conversion Factor. The Conversion Factor with respect to this Note shall be calculated by dividing the number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period by the Conversion Factor Reference Period specified on the face hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded down to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Senior Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Indenture.

Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption or repayment, will be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is payable in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption or repayment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date, provided that, if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register, and provided, further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph.

If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Senior Indenture, as defined on the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be duly executed. DATED: MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC.

CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By ______________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this Note, this Note shall not be subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to the Maturity Date. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment. For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the following formula: I = SR - (RR x RRM) where "I" is the interest rate for the Interest Reset Period, "SR" is the Set Rate shown on the face hereof, "RR" is the Reference Rate determined in the manner set forth below and "RRM" is the Reference Rate Multiplier shown on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date (as used herein, the term "Interest Reset Date" shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next preceding Business Day. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, and that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York or the City of London or (i) with respect to Notes denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, European Currency Units ("ECUs") or Australian dollars, in the capital city of the country of the Specified Currency, (ii) with respect to Notes denominated in ECUs, that is not a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris or (iii) with respect to Notes denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date shall be the second London Banking Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. As used herein, "London Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in the Reference Rate Currency are transacted in the London interbank market. As used herein, "Interest Reset Period" means initially the period from and including the Original Issue Date specified on the face hereof to but excluding the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof and thereafter the period from and including an Interest Reset Date (including the Initial Interest Reset Date) to but excluding the next succeeding Interest Reset Date (or, if applicable, the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof). Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date" pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Determination of Reference Rate. The Reference Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in the Reference Rate Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof which appears at the Reference Rate Location specified on the face hereof at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. (ii) If fewer than two offered rates appear at the Reference Rate Location, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major 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 Reference Rate Currency for the period of the Index Maturity to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, the Reference Rate will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the Reference Rate in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major banks located in the city which is the principal financial center of the country which issues the Reference Rate Currency (the "Reference City") selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) at approximately 11:00 A.M., Reference City time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in the Reference Rate Currency to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in such market at such time; provided, however, that if fewer than three banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Reference Rate for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Reference Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due.

Interest on this Note will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Interest Accrual Date, until, but excluding the date the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.

U.S. dollar payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption or repayment, will be made by U.S. dollar check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register. A holder of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same Interest Payment Date, the interest on which is payable in U.S. dollars, shall be entitled to receive payments of interest, other than interest due at maturity or any date of redemption or repayment, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, and the holder does not elect (in whole or in part) to receive payment in U.S. dollars pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, payments of interest, principal or any premium with regard to this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by the holder hereof with a bank located outside the United States if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15 calendar days prior to the applicable payment date, provided that, if such wire transfer instructions are not received, such payments will be made by check payable in such Specified Currency mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note register, and provided, further, that payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency referred to in the preceding paragraph.

Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be. If the holder elects to receive all or a portion of payments of principal of and any premium and interest on this Note, if denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, the Exchange Rate Agent will convert such payments into U.S. dollars. In the event of such an election, payment in respect of this Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by such Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent unless such Exchange Rate Agent is Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated), for the purchase by the quoting dealer of U.S. dollars for the Specified Currency for settlement on such payment date in the amount of the Specified Currency payable in the absence of such election to such holder and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. If such bid quotations are not available, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By:_______________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may not be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption. If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption.

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. Unless otherwise indicated on the face of this Note, this Note shall not be subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to the Maturity Date. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment.

Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. This Note will bear interest from and including the Interest Reset Date at the rate per annum determined in accordance with the following formula: I = RRM x (SR - RR) where "I" is the interest rate per annum for the Interest Reset Period (as defined below), "SR" is the Set Rate shown on the face hereof, "RRM" is the Reference Rate Multiplier shown on the face hereof and "RR" is the Reference Rate determined in the manner set forth below. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, and that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York or the City of London or (i) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, European Currency Units ("ECUs") or Australian dollars, in the capital city of the country of the Specified Currency, (ii) if this Note is denominated in ECUs, that is not a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris or (iii) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date shall be the second London Banking Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. As used herein, "London Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in any of the Reference Rate Currencies are transacted in the London interbank market. As used herein, "Interest Reset Period" means the period from and including an Interest Reset Date to but excluding the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date" pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Determination of Reference Rate. The Reference Rate with respect to this Note shall be the arithmetic mean of the offered interest rate swap rates for the Reference Rate Currencies specified on the face hereof. The offered interest rate swap rate for each Reference Rate Currency shall be determined by Morgan Stanley International for the Calculation Agent on the Interest Determination Date as follows: (a) If "Telerate" is specified as the Reference Rate Location on the face hereof for such Reference Rate Currency, Morgan Stanley International shall determine for the Calculation Agent the rate that appears on the Telerate Page specified on the face hereof for such Reference Rate Currency as the offered fixed rate of interest on or about 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date for a customary interest rate swap transaction where: (i) the term of such transaction equals the Index Maturity; (ii) the floating rate of interest is the rate for six-month LIBOR for such Reference Rate Currency; and (iii) all payments to be made pursuant to such transaction are to be made in such Reference Rate Currency, ("Telerate Swap Rate," and such Telerate Swap Rate shall be the offered interest rate swap rate for such Reference Rate Currency), and (b) If "Reference Dealers" is specified as the Reference Rate Location on the face hereof or if "Telerate" is so specified but the Telerate Swap Rate cannot be determined as described above, Morgan Stanley International will request the principal London offices of each of five major swap dealers, as selected by Morgan Stanley International, to provide quotations of the semi-annual offered fixed rate of interest on or about 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date for a customary interest rate swap transaction where: (i) the term of such transaction equals the Index Maturity; (ii) the floating rate of interest is the rate for six-month LIBOR for such Reference Rate Currency; (iii) all payments to be made pursuant to such transaction are to be made in such Reference Rate Currency; and (iv) the notional amount for such transaction is an amount that is representative for a swap transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time. If five such quotations are provided, the offered interest rate swap rate for such Reference Rate Currency will be the arithmetic mean of the three quotations remaining after the highest and the lowest quotations have been disregarded. If fewer than five such quotations are provided, but not less than one quotation, the offered interest rate swap rate for such Reference Rate Currency will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations (or, if only one quotation is provided, the offered interest rate swap rate shall be such quotation). If no such quotation is provided, the offered interest rate swap rate for such Reference Rate Currency will be determined by Morgan Stanley International in its sole discretion. Calculation of Interest. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date based on the Reference Rate as provided to it by Morgan Stanley International. 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 Federal law of general application. In determining the Reference Rate, the Calculation Agent is entitled to rely solely on Morgan Stanley International and shall have no responsibility itself to make such determination. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Senior Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Indenture.

Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked by written notice to the Paying Agent as to all or a portion of payments on this Note at least five Business Days prior to such Record Date or at least ten days prior to the Maturity Date or any redemption or repayment date, as the case may be.

Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof (including the Initial Interest Reset Date). The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Dates; provided, however, that (i) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate and (ii) the interest rate in effect commencing on and including the Fixed Rate Commencement Date to the Maturity Date hereof shall be the Fixed Interest Rate, if such rate is specified on the face hereof, or if no such Fixed Interest Rate is so specified, the interest rate in effect hereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next preceding Business Day. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York and (i) if this Note bears interest calculated by reference to LIBOR that is also a London Banking Day, (ii) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or ECUs, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, (iii) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (iv) if this Note is denominated in ECUs, that is not a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day next preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR shall be the second London Banking Day preceding such Interest Reset Date, except that the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a LIBOR Note for which the Index Currency is pounds sterling will be such Interest Reset Date.

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned; provided, however, that if as a result of a legal holiday an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction.

Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CD Rate, the CD Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)"), under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 "Certificates of Deposit." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent referred to on the face hereof and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for certificates of deposit in an amount that is representative of a single transaction at that time with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 United States money center banks of the highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the CD Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein) of the rate on such date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper," or if not so published prior to 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Commercial Paper." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers in commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Money Market Yield" shall be the yield calculated in accordance with the following formula: D x 360 Money Market Yield = ---------------- x 100 360 - (D x M) where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof. Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate." If neither of such rates is published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate for such 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 as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date arranged by three leading brokers in Federal funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Federal Funds Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified Designated LIBOR Page (as defined 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 for the period of the Index Maturity each as designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day following such Interest Determination Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, commencing on such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date) that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or if no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), LIBOR in respect of that Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii) below. (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), 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 (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency (if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar)) that is representative of 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 Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. (or such other time specified on the face hereof), in the applicable principal financial center for the country of the Index Currency on such Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in such principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) on such Interest Determination Date for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date) and in a principal amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency (if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar)) that is representative of a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as mentioned in this sentence, "LIBOR" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the LIBOR Notes for which LIBOR is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified as Index Currency on the face hereof. If no such currency is specified as Index Currency on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars. "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency. If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate (and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, Page 3750) had been specified. Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate set forth in H.15(519) for such date opposite the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank named on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page on such Interest Determination Date, or, if fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page for such Interest Determination Date, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by at least two of the three major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent from which quotations are requested. If fewer than two quotations are provided, 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 in The City of New York by the appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, in each case having total equity capital of at least U.S. $500 million and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to quote such rate or rates ; provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as set forth above, the "Prime Rate" in effect for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page" means the display designated as Page "USPRIME 1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the USPRIME 1 Page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks). Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate for the auction held on such date of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Treasury Bills-- auction average (investment)," or if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate on such Interest Determination Date (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 the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Treasury Rate for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate displayed for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof on the Designated CMT Telerate Page under the caption "Daily Treasury Constant Maturities and Money Markets/Federal Reserve Board Release H.15 under the column for the Designated CMT Maturity Index for (i) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such 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 Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the relevant page, or is not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such 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 Interest Determination Date with respect to the related 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 time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for the 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 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 (which may include affiliates of the Issuer) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer), 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 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 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 Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, 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 for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service specified on the face hereof (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 on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index" shall be the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the face amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR, as specified on the face hereof, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate, as specified on the face hereof. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day (other than a day occurring on or after the Fixed Rate Commencement Date) is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). While this Note bears interest at the Fixed Interest Rate, interest payments on this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30- day months. This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, if denominated in U.S. dollars, is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, then, unless a higher minimum denomination is required by applicable law, it is issuable only in denominations of the equivalent of U.S. $1,000 (rounded down to an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency), or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency, as determined by reference to the noon dollar buying rate in New York City for cable transfers of such Specified Currency published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the "Market Exchange Rate") on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, the Market Exchange Rate shall be the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, or any successor publication, on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of issuance. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, in such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions below, the value of the ECU, in which the Notes may be denominated or may be payable, is equal to the value of the ECU that is from time to time used as the unit of account of the EC. If the ECU becomes a currency in its own right in accordance with the Treaty, all references to ECU in the Notes shall be construed as references to such currency. With respect to each due date for the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency"), which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU or U.S. dollars, in which all payments due on or after that date with respect to the Notes and coupons shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall be provided by first class mail to each holder at the address of such holder which appears on the books maintained by the registrar and to the Paying Agent. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall select a Chosen Currency in which all payments with respect to Notes and coupons having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the following basis. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components that composed the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The "Exchange Rate Agent" shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf, provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of securities denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of Notes and coupons. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Senior Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Indenture.

CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By:_______________________________ Authorized Officer REVERSE OF SECURITY MORGAN STANLEY GROUP INC. SENIOR GLOBAL MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES C EQUITY LINKED NOTE DUE 1. General. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series C, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991, and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Payment of the principal of this Note and the interest due, if any, at the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Paying Agent, as defined below, maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other paying agency as the Issuer may determine. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The Issuer has appointed Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated as the Calculation Agent (the "Calculation Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Calculation Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes. The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. 2. Repayment Amount. The Holder of this Note will be entitled to receive an amount (the "Repayment Amount") at the Maturity Date equal to the Principal Amount plus interest, if any (the "Interest Payment), calculated in accordance with the following sentence. The Interest Payment will be equal to the greater of (i) zero and (ii) Principal x Leverage Factor x (Final Value - Initial Value) Amount (if any) Initial Value where Initial Value and Leverage Factor are specified on the face hereof and Final Value is the closing value of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index ("S&P 500 Index") (such value as calculated by Standard & Poor's ("S&P") and published in the Wall Street Journal) at the market close on the Determination Date specified on the face hereof. If the Final Value is equal to or less than the Initial Value, a Holder of this Note will be repaid 100% of the Principal Amount of this Note, but the Holder will not receive any Interest Payment. "Business Day," for purposes of this Note, is a day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "New York Stock Exchange") is open for trading. If any payment under this Note is to be made on a day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or regulation to close, the obligation to make such payment will be satisfied if it is made on the next succeeding day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are not authorized or required by law or regulation to close, and no interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment. If S&P discontinues publication of the S&P 500 Index and S&P or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued S&P 500 Index (such index being referred to hereinafter as a "Successor Index"), then, upon the Calculation Agent's notification of such determination to the Trustee and the Issuer, the Interest Payment shall be determined by reference to the value of such Successor Index at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Amex") or the relevant exchange or market for the Successor Index on the Determination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Calculation Agent determines that a Market Disruption Event) as hereinafter defined) with respect to the S&P 500 Index (or a Successor Index) has occurred and is continuing on the Determination Date, then the Final Value shall be the value of the S&P 500 Index (or the Successor Index) at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange and Amex (or on the relevant exchange or market for any Successor Index) on the next preceding Business Day on which there was no Market Disruption Event. "Market Disruption Event" in respect of the S&P 500 Index (or Successor Index) means either of the following events: (i) the suspension or material limitation of trading in 100 or more of the securities included in the S&P 500 Index (or Successor Index), or (ii) the imposition of material adverse limitations on the prices of 100 or more of the securities included in the S&P 500 Index (or Successor Index), in either case, on the exchange on which or in the market in which such securities are primarily traded, provided, that a limitation on the hours in a trading day and/or number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange or market. All determinations made by the Calculation Agent and the Issuer shall be at the sole discretion of the respective parties and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Issuer, beneficial owners and Holders of this Note. If the publication of the S&P 500 Index is discontinued and S&P or another entity does not publish a Successor Index on the Determination Date, the amount of the Interest Payment, if any, due on the Maturity Date will be computed by the Calculation Agent which will determine a Final Value by reference to the following formula: (1) determining the component stocks of the S&P 500 Index or any Successor Index (the "Component Stocks") as of the last date on which either of such indices was calculated by S&P or another entity and quoted on any quotation system (each such Component Stock a "Last Component Stock"); (2) for each Last Component Stock, calculating as of the relevant Business Day, the product of the market price per share and the number of the then outstanding shares (such product referred to as the "Market Value" of such stock), by reference to (a) the closing market price per share of such Last Component Stock as quoted by the New York Stock Exchange or the Amex or any other nationally recognized stock exchange, or if no such quotation is available, then the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation National Market System ("NASDAQ") together with the NASDAQ, the "Exchanges") and (b) the most recent publicly available statement of the number of outstanding shares of such Last Component Stock; (3) aggregating the Market Values obtained in clause (2) for all Last Component Stocks; (4) determining the Base Value (as defined in the Company's Pricing Supplement referred to on the face hereof to the Registration Statement referred to on the face hereof (the "Pricing Supplement") under "Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index -- Computation of the S&P 500 Index") as of the last day on which either the S&P 500 Index or any Successor Index was published by S&P or another entity, as adjusted thereafter as described below; (5) dividing the aggregate Market Value of all Last Component Stocks by the Base Value (adjusted as aforesaid); and (6) multiplying the resulting quotient (expressed in decimals) by ten. If any Last Component Stock is no longer publicly traded on any nationally recognized stock exchange, major regional stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market, the last available market price per share for such Last Component Stock as quoted by any exchange, and the number of outstanding shares thereof at such time, will be used in computing the last available Market Value of such Last Component Stock. If a company that has issued a Last Component Stock and another company that has issued a Last Component Stock are consolidated to form a new company, the common stock of such new company will be considered a Last Component Stock and the common stocks of the constituent companies will no longer be considered Last Component Stocks. If any company that has issued a Last Component Stock merges with, or acquires, a company that has not issued a Last Component Stock, the common stock of the surviving corporation will, upon the effectiveness of such merger or acquisition, be considered a Last Component Stock. However, in each case, the Base Value will be adjusted in accordance with the formula set forth in the Pricing Supplement in the last paragraph under "Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index -- Computation of the S&P 500 Index." As a result of this adjustment, the Base Value immediately after such consolidation, merger or acquisition will equal (a) the Base Value immediately prior to such event, multiplied by (b) the quotient of the aggregate Market Value of all Last Component Stocks immediately after such event, dividend by the aggregate Market Value for all Last Component Stocks immediately prior to such event. If a company that has issued a Last Component Stock issues a stock dividend, declares a stock split or issues new shares pursuant to the acquisition of another company, then, in each case, the Base Value will be adjusted (in accordance with the formula described below) so that, immediately after the time the particular Last Component Stock commences trading ex-dividend, the time the stock split becomes effective or the time new shares of such Last Component Stock commence trading, the Base Value equals (a) the Base Value immediately prior to such event, multiplied by (b) the quotient of the aggregate Market Value for all Last Component Stocks immediately after such event, dividend by the aggregate Market Value of all Last Component Stocks immediately prior to such event. The Base Value may not be adjusted by the Calculation Agent in all cases in which S&P, in its discretion, would have adjusted the Base Value. If at any time the method of calculating the S&P 500 Index or a Successor Index, or the value thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the S&P 500 Index or a Successor Index is in any other way modified so that such index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the value of the S&P 500 Index or such Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then, from and after such time, the Calculation Agent shall, at the close of business in New York City on each date the closing value with respect to the Final Value is to be calculated, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a value of a stock index comparable to the S&P 500 Index or such Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the Interest Payment with reference to the S&P 500 Index or such Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the S&P 500 Index or a Successor Index is modified so that the value of such Index is a fraction of what it would have been if it had not been modified (e.g., due to a split in the index), then the Calculation Agent shall adjust such index in order to arrive at a value of the S&P 500 Index or such Successor Index as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if such split had not occurred). Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Index, the Calculation Agent shall cause written notice thereof to be furnished to the registered Holder of this Note within three Business Days of such selection. If S&P discontinues publication of the S&P 500 Index prior to the Determination Date and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Index is available at such time, then on each Business Day until the earlier to occur of (i) the Determination Date and (ii) a determination by the Calculation Agent that a Successor Index is available, the Calculation Agent shall determine the value that would be used in computing the Interest Payment as if such day were the Determination Date. The Calculation Agent shall cause notice of each such value to be provided to the registered Holder of this Note on each succeeding Business Day until and including the Determination Date (unless a Successor Index is prior thereto determined to be available). Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, discontinuance of the publication of the S&P 500 Index may adversely affect the value of this Note. 3. Acceleration upon Event of Default. In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration of this Note will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be equal to the sum of (i) the "issue price" of the "noncontingent debt instrument" plus "original issue discount" accrued to the date of acceleration and (ii) the "exercise price" of the "property right" determined as though the Determination Date were the date of acceleration. For these purposes, "issue price," "noncontingent debt instrument," "original issue discount," "exercise price" and "property right" have the meanings and values assigned to them under "Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the Pricing Supplement and apply to any and all Holders of the Note including Holders who are not United States Holders as defined in the Pricing Supplement. 4. Other Provisions. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the Holder or the Issuer prior to the Maturity Date. This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered Holder in person or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any matter the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the written consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the Holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, of this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal and interest, if any, on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered Holder of this Note.

If the publication of the S&P 500 Index is discontinued and S&P or another entity does not publish a Successor Index on the Determination Date, the amount of the Interest Payment, if any, due on the Maturity Date will be computed by the Calculation Agent which will determine a Final Value by reference to the following formula: (1) determining the component stocks of the S&P 500 Index or any Successor Index (the "Component Stocks") as of the last date on which either of such indices was calculated by S&P or another entity and quoted on any quotation system (each such Component Stock a "Last Component Stock"); (2) for each Last Component Stock, calculating as of the relevant Business Day, the product of the market price per share and the number of the then outstanding shares (such product referred to as the "Market Value" of such Stock), by reference to (a) the closing market price per share of such Last Component Stock as quoted by the New York Stock Exchange or the Amex or any other nationally recognized stock exchange, or if no such quotation is available, then the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation National Market System ("NASDAQ") (together with the NASDAQ, the "Exchanges") and (b) the most recent publicly available statement of the number of outstanding shares of such Last Component Stock; (3) aggregating the Market Values obtained in clause (2) for all Last Component Stocks; (4) determining the Base Value (as defined in the Company's Pricing Supplement referred to on the face hereof to the Registration Statement referred to on the face hereof (the "Pricing Supplement") under "Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index -- Computation of the S&P 500 Index") as of the last day on which either the S&P 500 Index or any Successor Index was published by S&P or another entity, as adjusted thereafter as described below; (5) dividing the aggregate Market Value of all Last Component Stocks by the Base Value (adjusted as aforesaid); and (6) multiplying the resulting quotient (expressed in decimals) by ten. If any Last Component Stock is no longer publicly traded on any nationally recognized stock exchange, major regional stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market, the last available market price per share for such Last Component Stock as quoted by any exchange, and the number of outstanding shares thereof at such time, will be used in computing the last available Market Value of such Last Component Stock. If a company that has issued a Last Component Stock and another company that has issued a Last Component Stock are consolidated to form a new company, the common stock of such new company will be considered a Last Component Stock and the common stocks of the constituent companies will no longer be considered Last Component Stocks. If any company that has issued a Last Component Stock merges with, or acquires, a company that has not issued a Last Component Stock, the common stock of the surviving corporation will, upon the effectiveness of such merger or acquisition, be considered a Last Component Stock. However, in each case, the Base Value will be adjusted in accordance with the formula set forth in the Pricing Supplement in the last paragraph under "Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index -- Computation of the S&P 500 Index." As a result of this adjustment, the Base Value immediately after such consolidation, merger or acquisition will equal (a) the Base Value immediately prior to such event, multiplied by (b) the quotient of the aggregate Market Value of all Last Component Stocks immediately after such event, divided by the aggregate Market Value for all Last Component Stocks immediately prior to such event. If a company that has issued a Last Component Stock issues a stock dividend, declares a stock split or issues new shares pursuant to the acquisition of another company, then, in each case, the Base Value will be adjusted (in accordance with the formula described below) so that, immediately after the time the particular Last Component Stock commences trading ex-dividend, the time the stock split becomes effective or the time new shares of such Last Component Stock commence trading, the Base Value equals (a) the Base Value immediately prior to such event, multiplied by (b) the quotient of the aggregate Market Value for all Last Component Stocks immediately after such event, divided by the aggregate Market Value of all Last Component Stocks immediately prior to such event. The Base Value may not be adjusted by the Calculation Agent in all cases in which S&P, in its discretion, would have adjusted the Base Value. If at any time the method of calculating the S&P 500 Index or a Successor Index, or the value thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the S&P 500 Index or a Successor Index is in any other way modified so that such index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the value of the S&P 500 Index or such Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then, from and after such time, the Calculation Agent shall, at the close of business in New York City on each date the closing value with respect to the Final Value is to be calculated, make such calculations and adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be necessary in order to arrive at a value of a stock index comparable to the S&P 500 Index or such Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and calculate the Interest Payment with reference to the S&P 500 Index or such Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the S&P 500 Index or a Successor Index is modified so that the value of such Index is a fraction of what it would have been if it had not been modified (e.g., due to a split in the index), then the Calculation Agent shall adjust such index in order to arrive at a value of the S&P 500 Index or such Successor Index as if it had not been modified (e.g., as if such split had not occurred). Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Index, the Calculation Agent shall cause written notice thereof to be furnished to the registered Holder of this Note within three Business Days of such selection. If S&P discontinues publication of the S&P 500 Index prior to the Determination Date and the Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Index is available at such time, then on each Business Day until the earlier to occur of (i) the Determination Date and (ii) a determination by the Calculation Agent that a Successor Index is available, the Calculation Agent shall determine the value that would be used in computing the Interest Payment as if such day were the Determination Date. The Calculation Agent shall cause notice of each such value to be provided to the registered Holder of this Note on each succeeding Business Day until and including the Determination Date (unless a Successor Index is prior thereto determined to be available). Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, discontinuance of the publication of the S&P 500 Index may adversely affect the value of this Note. 3. Acceleration upon Event of Default. In case an Event of Default with respect to this Note shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration of this Note will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be equal to the sum of (i) the "issue price" of the "noncontingent debt instrument" plus "original issue discount" accrued to the date of acceleration and (ii) the "exercise price" of the "property right" determined as though the Determination Date were the date of acceleration. For these purposes, "issue price," "noncontingent debt instrument," "original issue discount," "exercise price" and "property right" have the meanings and values assigned to them under "Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the Pricing Supplement and apply to any and all Holders of the Note including Holders who are not United States Holders as defined in the Pricing Supplement. 4. Other Provisions. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the Holder or the Issuer prior to the Maturity Date. This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered Holder hereof in person or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered Holder in person or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any matter the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the written consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the Holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, of this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal and interest, if any, on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered Holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal or the interest, if any, on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Senior Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Indenture.

EXHIBIT A [FORM OF CERTIFICATE TO BE GIVEN BY THE EUROCLEAR OPERATOR, CEDEL AND/OR ANY OTHER RELEVANT CLEARING SYSTEM] CERTIFICATE _________________________________________ Morgan Stanley Group Inc. Global Medium-Term Notes, Series [D/E] Represented by Temporary Global Note No __. This is to certify that, based solely on certifications we have received in writing, by tested telex or by electronic transmission from member organizations appearing in our records as persons being entitled to a portion of the principal amount set forth below (our "Member Organizations") substantially to the effect set forth in Appendix 2 to Exhibit B to the Euro Distribution Agreement relating to such Notes, as of the date hereof, __________ principal amount of the above-captioned Securities (i) is owned by persons that are not citizens or residents of the United States, domestic partnerships, domestic corporations or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States Federal income taxation regardless of its source ("United States persons"), (ii) is owned by United States persons that are (a) foreign branches of United States financial institutions (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.165-12(c)(1)(v)) ("financial institutions") purchasing for their own account or for resale, or (b) United States persons who acquired the Securities through foreign branches of United States financial institutions and who hold the Securities through such United States financial institutions on the date hereof (and in either case (a) or (b), each such United States financial institution has agreed, on its own behalf or through its agent, that we may advise the Issuer or the Issuer's agent that it will comply with the requirements of Section 165(j)(3)(A), (B) or (C) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder), or (iii) is owned by United States or foreign financial institutions for purposes of resale during the restricted period (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(7)), and to the further effect that United States or foreign financial institutions described in clause (iii) above (whether or not also described in clause (i) or (ii)) have certified that they have not acquired the Securities for purposes of resale directly or indirectly to a United States person or to a person within the United States or its possessions.

By:_________________________ Title: TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Senior Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By: _____________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] \ This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series [D/E], having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank, London Branch, as its principal paying agent for the Notes (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents that it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom Banking Act 1987) and repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under the listing rules of The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited (the "Rules") and that, since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about it, it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any change in circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes as they fall due. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders of the Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses with the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. Notice of redemption to all other holders of Notes shall be published in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below, once in each of the three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date set for redemption. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note so redeemed, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so redeemed and noted. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Principal Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note so repaid, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so repaid and noted. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day. This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note is issued in permanent global bearer form without interest coupons attached (a "Global Bearer Note"). The beneficial owner of all or a portion of this Note may exchange its interest in this Note upon not less than 30 days' written notice to the Principal Paying Agent, in whole, for Notes in bearer form with interest coupons, if any, attached (the "Definitive Bearer Notes," and, together with the Global Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or, in whole or from time to time in part, for Notes in fully registered form without coupons (the "Registered Notes"), in each case, in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof, at the office of the Principal Paying Agent, or, in the case of Registered Notes, at the office of the transfer agent for the Registered Notes in London, which transfer agent will initially be Chemical Bank, London Branch, upon compliance with any procedures set forth in, or established pursuant to, the Senior Indenture; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required (i) to exchange this Note for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding the first publication of a notice of redemption of all or any portion hereof or (ii) to exchange any portion of this Note selected for redemption or surrendered for optional repayment, except that all or a portion of this Note may be exchanged for a Registered Note of like tenor, provided that such Registered Note shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be; and provided, further, that if a Registered Note is issued in exchange for any portion of this Note after the close of business at the office of the Principal Paying Agent on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment of interest on such Registered Note and before the opening of business at such office on the relevant Interest Payment Date, any interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such Registered Note, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date only to the holder of this Note. Upon exchange of this Note in whole for a Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or in whole or in part for a Registered Note or Registered Notes, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of the principal amount hereof by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or such Registered Note or Registered Notes, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and noted. All such exchanges of Notes will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The date of any Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange. All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged for Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the following two sentences as soon as practicable after the first beneficial owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive Bearer Note, provided that a common depository located outside the United States (the "common depository") holding this Note for Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator"), Cedel Bank, societe anonyme ("Cedel") and/or any other relevant clearing system (including Societe Interprofessionelle pour la Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres ("SICOVAM")) instructs the Principal Paying Agent regarding the aggregate principal amount of Definitive Bearer Notes and the denominations of such Definitive Bearer Notes that must be authenticated and delivered to each of the Euroclear Operator and Cedel in exchange for this Note. Thereafter, the Principal Paying Agent, acting solely in reliance on such instructions, shall, upon surrender to it of this Note and subject to the conditions in the preceding paragraph, authenticate and deliver Definitive Bearer Notes in exchange for this Note in accordance with such instructions and shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the further exchange of Definitive Bearer Notes into Registered Notes. This Note may be transferred by delivery; provided, however, that this Note may be transferred only to a common depositary outside the United States for the Euroclear Operator, Cedel and/or any other relevant clearing system or to a nominee of such a depositary. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," then (i) if the principal hereof is declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above. This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of redemption) (the "Amortized Amount")), if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due. Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the Notice. If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note who is a United States Alien (as defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i) directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b) payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note, as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the Amortized Amount), together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, or, at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon as practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice") stating the effective date of such certification, identification or other information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Issuer redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall elect by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Notice of such redemption of this Note will be given to the holder of this Note not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Such redemption notice shall include a statement as to the last date by which this Note to be redeemed may be exchanged for Registered Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall subsequently determine, not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirement, in which case the Issuer shall publish prompt notice of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of no further effect. The right of the holder of this Note to exchange this Note for Registered Notes will terminate at the close of business of the Principal Paying Agent on the fifteenth day prior to the date fixed for redemption, and no further exchanges of this Note for Registered Notes shall be permitted. If and so long as the certification, identification or other information reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay as additional amounts such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United States following the effective date of such requirements by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be disclosed to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with respect to the payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable in the circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result of presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer elects to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the right to redeem this Note as a whole at any time pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and the redemption price of this Note will not be reduced for applicable withholding taxes. If the Issuer elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied, then the Issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note who is a United States Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account of: (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation by the holder of this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization; (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of this Note; (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe; (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or (h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g); nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then with respect to each due date for any such payment on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the European Community ("EC") and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency") which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU basket or U.S. dollars, in which all such payments due on or after that date with respect to this Note shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall, where practicable, be published in the manner described in "Notices" below. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then on the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a Chosen Currency in which all such payments with respect to this Note having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined on the following basis by, or on behalf of, an Exchange Rate Agent appointed by the Issuer. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components composing the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf; provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days in the country of issue before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of notes denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of this Note. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided. If this Note is listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited and such Exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the holder of this Note. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder of this Note as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

By _____________________________ Title: TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Senior Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By _____________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series [D/E], having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes or Coupons and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank, London Branch, as its principal paying agent for the Notes and the Coupons (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents that it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom Banking Act 1987) and repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under the listing rules of The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited (the "Rules") and that, since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about it, it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any change in circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes as they fall due. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders of the Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses with the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. Notice of redemption to all other holders of Notes shall be published in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below, once in each of the three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date set for redemption. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued upon the cancellation hereof. If redeemed prior to maturity, this Note must be presented for payment together with all unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining hereto, failing which the amount of any missing unmatured Coupon will be deducted from the sum due for payment; provided, however, that such deduction may be waived by the Issuer and the Principal Paying Agent if there is furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed, together with any unmatured Coupons appertaining hereto, or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, together with any unmatured Coupons appertaining hereto, will be received by the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note, together with any unmatured Coupons appertaining hereto, and form duly completed are received by the Principal Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued upon the cancellation hereof. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof. In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day. This Note and the Coupons and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note is issued in definitive bearer form with Coupons attached (a "Definitive Bearer Note") and is issuable only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof. Notes also are issuable in global bearer form without Coupons (the "Global Bearer Notes" and, together with the Definitive Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or in definitive registered form (the "Registered Notes"), in each case, only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face thereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face thereof. This Note and the Coupons may be transferred by delivery. At the option of the holder of this Note, and subject to the terms of the Senior Indenture, this Note (with all unmatured Coupons, and all matured Coupons, if any, in default) will be exchanged for a Registered Note of any authorized denomination of like tenor and in an equal aggregate principal amount, in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Indenture, at the office of the Trustee in The City of New York (which initially has been appointed registrar and transfer agent for the Notes) or at the office of the Principal Paying Agent in London (which initially has been appointed transfer agent for the Notes), or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Issuer for such purpose. If this Note is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Note after the close of business at any such office on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment of interest on such Registered Note and before the opening of business at such office on the relevant Interest Payment Date, this Note shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date. All such exchanges of Notes and Coupons will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. None of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be required to exchange this Note for a Registered Note if such exchange would result in adverse United States Federal income tax consequences to the Issuer under then applicable United States federal income tax laws. The Company will not be required (i) to exchange any Bearer Note to be redeemed for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or (ii) to exchange any Bearer Note selected for redemption or surrendered for optional repayment, except that such Bearer Note may be exchanged for a Registered Note of like tenor, provided that such Registered Note shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be. In case any Note or Coupon shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or Coupon or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor, with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons appertaining to the Note so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen or to the Note to which such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertained, will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen or in exchange for the Note to which such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertained, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note or Coupon, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note or Coupon was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note and Coupons, if any, shall be borne by the owner of the Note or Coupon mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," then (i) if the principal hereof is declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above. This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of redemption) (the "Amortized Amount")), if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to the Notes as described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due. Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the Notice. If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note or any Coupon would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note or any Coupon who is a United States Alien (as defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i) directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b) payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note, as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the Amortized Amount), together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, or, at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon as practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice") stating the effective date of such certification, identification or other information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Issuer redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall elect by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Notice of such redemption of this Note will be given to the holder of this Note not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Such redemption notice shall include a statement as to the last date by which this Note to be redeemed may be exchanged for Registered Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall subsequently determine, not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirement, in which case the Issuer shall publish prompt notice of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of no further effect. The right of the holder of this Note to exchange this Note for Registered Notes will terminate at the close of business of the Principal Paying Agent on the fifteenth day prior to the date fixed for redemption, and no further exchanges of this Note for Registered Notes shall be permitted. If and so long as the certification, identification or other information reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay as additional amounts such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United States following the effective date of such requirements by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note or any Coupon of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be disclosed to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with respect to the payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable in the circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result of presentation of this Note or Coupon for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note or any Coupon to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer elects to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the right to redeem this Note as a whole at any time pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and the redemption price of this Note will not be reduced for applicable withholding taxes. If the Issuer elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied, then the Issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note or any Coupon who is a United States Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note or any Coupon to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account of: (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation by the holder of this Note or Coupon, if any, for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization; (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of this Note or any Coupon; (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe; (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note or any Coupon, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or (h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g); nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note or any Coupon to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note or any Coupon. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note or any Coupon by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then with respect to each due date for any such payment on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the European Community and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency") which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU basket or U.S. dollars, in which all such payments due on or after that date with respect to this Note shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall, where practicable, be published in the manner described in "Notices" below. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then on the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a Chosen Currency in which all such payments with respect to this Note having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined on the following basis by, or on behalf of, an Exchange Rate Agent appointed by the Issuer. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components composing the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf; provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of notes denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of this Note. So long as this Note or any Coupons shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note, as herein provided. The Paying Agents initially designated by the Issuer are listed on the reverse of each Coupon. If this Note is listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited and such Exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes or any Coupons that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note, any Coupon or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the holder of this Note or any Coupon. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder of this Note or any Coupon as the owner hereof or thereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note or any Coupon be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note for any claim based hereon or on any Coupon, or otherwise in respect hereof or thereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note and the Coupons shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. As used herein: (a) the term "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York or in the City of London and (i) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or ECUs, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, (ii) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (iii) if this Note is denominated in ECUs, that is not a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris; (b) the term "Market Exchange Rate" means the noon U.S. dollar buying rate in The City of New York for wire transfers of the Specified Currency indicated on the face hereof as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; (c) the term "Notices" refers to notices to the holders of the Notes and any Coupons to be given by publication in an authorized newspaper in the English language and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and London or, if publication in London is not practical, in an English language newspaper with general circulation in Western Europe.

By__________________________ Title: TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Senior Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By _____________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series [D/E], having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank, acting through its principal corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as a paying agent for the Notes in the United States and Chemical Bank, London Branch, at its corporate trust office in London, as its principal paying agent for the Notes outside the United States (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor principal paying agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents that it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom Banking Act 1987) and repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under the listing rules of The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited (the "Rules") and that, since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about it, it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any change in circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes as they fall due. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Principal Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months unless indicated otherwise on the face hereof. In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day. This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof. The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York, a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at either the aforesaid New York office or at the London office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Senior Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said offices for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," then (i) if the principal hereof is declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above. This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of redemption)), if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to the Notes as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due. Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in such notice. The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note who is a United States Alien (as defined below) as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account of: (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation by the holder of this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization; (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of this Note; (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe; (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or (h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g); nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then with respect to each due date for any such payment on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the European Community ("EC") and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency") which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU basket or U.S. dollars, in which all such payments due on or after that date with respect to this Note shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall, where practicable, be published in the manner described in "Notices" below. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then on the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a Chosen Currency in which all such payments with respect to this Note having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined on the following basis by, or on behalf of, an Exchange Rate Agent appointed by the Issuer. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components composing the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf; provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of notes denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of this Note. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. If this Note is listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited and such Exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note.

The Notes are issuable under a Subordinated Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Subordinated Indenture"), between the Issuer and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Subordinated Indenture), to which Subordinated Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Trustee has appointed Chemical Bank as Authenticating Agent (the "Authenticating Agent," which term includes any successor authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee) with respect to the Notes, and the Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank, acting through its principal corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as a paying agent for the Notes in the United States and Chemical Bank, London Branch, at its corporate trust office in London, as its principal paying agent for the Notes outside the United States (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor principal paying agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Subordinated Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Subordinated Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents that it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom Banking Act 1987) and repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under the listing rules of The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited (the "Rules") and that, since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about it, it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any change in circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes as they fall due. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Subordinated Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Principal Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months unless otherwise specified on the face hereof. In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day. This Note and all other obligations of the Issuer hereunder will constitute part of the subordinated debt of the Issuer, will be issued under the Subordinated Indenture and will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Indenture, to all "Senior Indebtedness" of the Issuer. The Subordinated Indenture defines "Senior Indebtedness" as obligations (other than non-recourse obligations, the debt securities, including this Note, issued under the Subordinated Indenture or any other obligations specifically designated as being subordinate in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness) of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Issuer for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, and amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness or obligation. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof. Chemical Bank has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the "Registrar," which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Issuer), and the Registrar will maintain at its office in The City of New York, a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at either the aforesaid New York office or at the London office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Subordinated Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said offices for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Registrar, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Subordinated Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Subordinated Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture, including the series of Subordinated Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Subordinated Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," then (i) if the principal hereof is declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Subordinated Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Subordinated Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above. This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of redemption)), if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to the Notes as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due. Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in such notice. The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note who is a United States Alien (as defined below) as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account of: (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation by the holder of this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization; (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of this Note; (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe; (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or (h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g); nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note. The Subordinated Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Subordinated Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected; provided, however, that neither this Note nor the Subordinated Indenture may be amended to alter the subordination provisions hereof or thereof without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then with respect to each due date for any such payment on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the European Community ("EC") and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency") which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU basket or U.S. dollars, in which all such payments due on or after that date with respect to this Note shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall, where practicable, be published in the manner described in "Notices" below. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then on the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a Chosen Currency in which all such payments with respect to this Note having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined on the following basis by, or on behalf of, an Exchange Rate Agent appointed by the Issuer. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components composing the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf; provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of notes denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of this Note. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and an office or agency in said Borough of Manhattan for the registration, transfer and exchange as aforesaid of the Notes. If this Note is listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited and such Exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Subordinated Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the registered holder of this Note. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note, for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Subordinated Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank, London Branch, as its principal paying agent for the Notes (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents that it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom Banking Act 1987) and repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under the listing rules of The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited (the "Rules") and that, since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about it, it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any change in circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes as they fall due. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity.

If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders of the Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses with the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. Notice of redemption to all other holders of Notes shall be published in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below, once in each of the three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date set for redemption. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note so redeemed, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so redeemed and noted. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Principal Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note so repaid, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so repaid and noted. This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date (as used herein, the term "Interest Reset Date" shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next preceding Business Day. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day next preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR shall be the second London Banking Day preceding such Interest Reset Date except that the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a LIBOR Note for which the Index Currency is pounds sterling will be such Interest Reset Date. As used herein, "London Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in the Index Currency (as defined herein) are transacted in the London interbank market. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned; provided, however, that if as a result of a legal holiday an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date" pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CD Rate, the CD Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)"), under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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" (the "Composite Quotations") under the heading "Certificates of Deposit." If such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent referred to on the face hereof and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for certificates of deposit in an amount that is representative for a single transaction at that time with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 United States money center banks; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the "CD Rate" in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the CD Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein) of the rate on such date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper." In the event that such rate is not published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in 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 available in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers in commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting offered rates as mentioned in this sentence, the "Commercial Paper Rate" in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Money Market Yield" shall be the 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 applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof. Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate." If such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate for such 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 as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, arranged by three leading brokers in Federal funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the "Federal Funds Rate" in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified Designated LIBOR Page (as defined below) by its terms provides only for a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, which appear on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, each as designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or if no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), LIBOR in respect of that Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii) below. (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), 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 (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar) that is representative of 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 Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. (or such other time specified on the face hereof), in the applicable principal financial center for the country of the Index Currency on such Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in such principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) on such Interest Determination Date for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date) and in a principal amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar) that is representative of a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as mentioned in this sentence, "LIBOR" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the LIBOR Notes for which LIBOR is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified as Index Currency on the face hereof. If no such currency is specified as Index Currency on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars. "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency. If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate (and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, Page 3750) had been specified. Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate set forth in H.15(519) for such date opposite the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank named on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page on such Interest Determination Date, or, if fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page for such Interest Determination Date, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by at least two of the three major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent from which quotations are requested. If fewer than two quotations are provided, 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 in The City of New York by the appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, in each case having total equity capital of at least U.S. $500 million and being subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to quote such rate or rates; provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as set forth above, the "Prime Rate" in effect for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Reuters Screen USPRIME1 Page" means the display designated as Page "USPRIME1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the USPRIME1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks. Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate for the auction held on such date of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Treasury Bills-- auction average (investment)," or if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate on such Interest Determination Date (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 the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting bid rates as mentioned in this sentence, the "Treasury Rate" for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate displayed for the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined below) under the caption "Daily Treasury Constant Maturities and Money Markets/Federal Reserve Board Release H.15 " 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 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 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 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 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 Interest Determination Date with respect to the related 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 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 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 (which may include affiliates of the Issuer or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer) 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 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 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 Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, 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 not 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 for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service specified on the face hereof (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 on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index" shall be the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1,2,3,5,7,10,20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule A hereto by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR, as specified on the face hereof, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate, as specified on the face hereof. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note is issued in permanent global bearer form without interest coupons attached (a "Global Bearer Note"). The beneficial owner of all or a portion of this Note may exchange its interest in this Note upon not less than 30 days' written notice to the Principal Paying Agent, in whole, for Notes in bearer form with interest coupons, if any, attached (the "Definitive Bearer Notes," and, together with the Global Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or, in whole or from time to time in part, for Notes in fully registered form without coupons (the "Registered Notes"), in each case, in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof, at the office of the Principal Paying Agent, or, in the case of Registered Notes, at the office of the transfer agent for the Registered Notes in London, which transfer agent will initially be Chemical Bank, London Branch, upon compliance with any procedures set forth in, or established pursuant to, the Senior Indenture; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required (i) to exchange this Note for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding the first publication of a notice of redemption of all or any portion hereof or (ii) to exchange any portion of this Note selected for redemption or surrendered for optional repayment, except that all or a portion of this Note may be exchanged for a Registered Note of like tenor, provided that such Registered Note shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be; and provided, further, that if a Registered Note is issued in exchange for any portion of this Note after the close of business at the office of the Principal Paying Agent on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment of interest on such Registered Note and before the opening of business at such office on the relevant Interest Payment Date, any interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such Registered Note, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date only to the holder of this Note. Upon exchange of this Note in whole for a Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or in whole or in part for a Registered Note or Registered Notes, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of the principal amount hereof by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or such Registered Note or Registered Notes, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and noted. All such exchanges of Notes will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The date of any Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange. All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged for Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the following two sentences as soon as practicable after the first beneficial owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive Bearer Note, provided that a common depository located outside the United States (the "common depository") holding this Note for Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator"), Cedel Bank, societe anonyme ("Cedel") and/or any other relevant clearing system (including "Societe Interprofessionelle pour la Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres ("SICOVAM")) instructs the Principal Paying Agent regarding the aggregate principal amount of Definitive Bearer Notes and the denominations of such Definitive Bearer Notes that must be authenticated and delivered to each of the Euroclear Operator and Cedel in exchange for this Note. Thereafter, the Principal Paying Agent, acting solely in reliance on such instructions, shall, upon surrender to it of this Note and subject to the conditions in the preceding paragraph, authenticate and deliver Definitive Bearer Notes in exchange for this Note in accordance with such instructions and shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the further exchange of Definitive Bearer Notes into Registered Notes. This Note may be transferred by delivery; provided, however, that this Note may be transferred only to a common depositary outside the United States for the Euroclear Operator, Cedel and/or any other relevant clearing system or to a nominee of such a depositary. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due. Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the Notice. If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note who is a United States Alien (as defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i) directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b) payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note, as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, or, at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon as practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice") stating the effective date of such certification, identification or other information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Issuer redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall elect by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Notice of such redemption of this Note will be given to the holder of this Note not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Such redemption notice shall include a statement as to the last date by which this Note to be redeemed may be exchanged for Registered Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall subsequently determine, not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirement, in which case the Issuer shall publish prompt notice of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of no further effect. The right of the holder of this Note to exchange this Note for Registered Notes will terminate at the close of business of the Principal Paying Agent on the fifteenth day prior to the date fixed for redemption, and no further exchanges of this Note for Registered Notes shall be permitted. If and so long as the certification, identification or other information reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay as additional amounts such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United States following the effective date of such requirements by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be disclosed to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with respect to the payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable in the circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result of presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer elects to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the right to redeem this Note as a whole at any time pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and the redemption price of this Note will not be reduced for applicable withholding taxes. If the Issuer elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied, then the Issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note who is a United States Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account of: (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation by the holder of this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization; (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of this Note; (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe; (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or (h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g); nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then with respect to each due date for any such payment on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the European Community ("EC") and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency") which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU basket or U.S. dollars, in which all such payments due on or after that date with respect to this Note shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall, where practicable, be published in the manner described in "Notices" below. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then on the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a Chosen Currency in which all such payments with respect to this Note having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined on the following basis by, or on behalf of, an Exchange Rate Agent appointed by the Issuer. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components composing the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf; provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of notes denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency.

By _______________________________ Title: TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Senior Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By _______________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series E, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank, London Branch, as its principal paying agent for the Notes (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents that it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom Banking Act 1987) and repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under the listing rules of The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited (the "Rules") and that, since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about it, it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any change in circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes as they fall due. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders of the Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses with the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. Notice of redemption to all other holders of Notes shall be published in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below, once in each of the three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date set for redemption. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note so redeemed, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so redeemed and noted. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Principal Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note so repaid, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so repaid and noted. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Interest payments for this Note will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months unless otherwise specified on the face hereof. In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day, payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date) to such next succeeding Business Day. This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note is issued in permanent global bearer form without interest coupons attached (a "Global Bearer Note"). The beneficial owner of all or a portion of this Note may exchange its interest in this Note upon not less than 30 days' written notice to the Principal Paying Agent, in whole, for Notes in bearer form with interest coupons, if any, attached (the "Definitive Bearer Notes," and, together with the Global Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or, in whole or from time to time in part, for Notes in fully registered form without coupons (the "Registered Notes"), in each case, in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof, at the office of the Principal Paying Agent, or, in the case of Registered Notes, at the office of the transfer agent for the Registered Notes in London, which transfer agent will initially be Chemical Bank, London Branch, upon compliance with any procedures set forth in, or established pursuant to, the Senior Indenture; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required (i) to exchange this Note for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding the first publication of a notice of redemption of all or any portion hereof or (ii) to exchange any portion of this Note selected for redemption or surrendered for optional repayment, except that all or a portion of this Note may be exchanged for a Registered Note of like tenor, provided that such Registered Note shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be; and provided, further, that if a Registered Note is issued in exchange for any portion of this Note after the close of business at the office of the Principal Paying Agent on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment of interest on such Registered Note and before the opening of business at such office on the relevant Interest Payment Date, any interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such Registered Note, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date only to the holder of this Note. Upon exchange of this Note in whole for a Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or in whole or in part for a Registered Note or Registered Notes, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of the principal amount hereof by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, or such Registered Note or Registered Notes, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and noted. All such exchanges of Notes will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The date of any Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange. All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged for Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the following two sentences as soon as practicable after the first beneficial owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive Bearer Note, provided that a common depository located outside the United States (the "common depository") holding this Note for Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator"), Cedel Bank, societe anonyme ("Cedel") and/or any other relevant clearing system (including "Societe Interprofessionelle pour la Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres ("SICOVAM")) instructs the Principal Paying Agent regarding the aggregate principal amount of Definitive Bearer Notes and the denominations of such Definitive Bearer Notes that must be authenticated and delivered to each of the Euroclear Operator and Cedel in exchange for this Note. Thereafter, the Principal Paying Agent, acting solely in reliance on such instructions, shall, upon surrender to it of this Note and subject to the conditions in the preceding paragraph, authenticate and deliver Definitive Bearer Notes in exchange for this Note in accordance with such instructions and shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the further exchange of Definitive Bearer Notes into Registered Notes. This Note may be transferred by delivery; provided, however, that this Note may be transferred only to a common depositary outside the United States for the Euroclear Operator, Cedel and/or any other relevant clearing system or to a nominee of such a depositary. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," then (i) if the principal hereof is declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture prior to the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Senior Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above. This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at the Redemption Price, as specified on the face hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," such redemption price would be limited to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest Accrual Date to the date of redemption, which amortization shall be calculated using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date of redemption) (the "Amortized Amount")), if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due. Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, which date and the formula for determining the applicable redemption price will be specified in the Notice. If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note who is a United States Alien (as defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i) directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b) payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note, as a whole, at the Redemption Price, as specified on the face hereof (except that if this Note is subject to "Modified Payment upon Acceleration or Redemption," such redemption price would be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount) plus the Amortized Amount), together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, or, at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon as practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice") stating the effective date of such certification, identification or other information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Issuer redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall elect by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Notice of such redemption of this Note will be given to the holder of this Note not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Such redemption notice shall include a statement as to the last date by which this Note to be redeemed may be exchanged for Registered Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall subsequently determine, not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirement, in which case the Issuer shall publish prompt notice of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of no further effect. The right of the holder of this Note to exchange this Note for Registered Notes will terminate at the close of business of the Principal Paying Agent on the fifteenth day prior to the date fixed for redemption, and no further exchanges of this Note for Registered Notes shall be permitted. If and so long as the certification, identification or other information reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay as additional amounts such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United States following the effective date of such requirements by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be disclosed to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with respect to the payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable in the circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result of presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer elects to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the right to redeem this Note as a whole at any time pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and the redemption price of this Note will not be reduced for applicable withholding taxes. If the Issuer elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied, then the Issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note who is a United States Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account of: (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation by the holder of this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization; (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of this Note; (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe; (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or (h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g); nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note. The Final Redemption Price or the Redemption Price shall be determined by the Calculation Agent not later than the close of business on the date that is two (2) London Banking Days prior to the Maturity Date or date of redemption as the case may be (the "Determination Date"). For the purpose of determining the Final Redemption Price or the Redemption Price LIBOR shall be determined as follows: (i) As of the Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified Designated LIBOR Page (as defined below) by its terms provides only for a single rate, in which case such single rate shall be used) for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Determination Date, which appear on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, each as designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day following such Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Determination Date), that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Determination Date. If fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or if no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), LIBOR in respect of that Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii) below. (ii) With respect to a Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), 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 (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Determination Date), to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar) that is representative of 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 Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. (or such other time specified on the face hereof), in the applicable principal financial center for the country of the Index Currency on such Determination Date, by three major banks in such principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) on such Determination Date for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Determination Date) and in a principal amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar) that is representative of a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time. "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified as Index Currency on the face hereof. If no such currency is specified as Index Currency on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars. "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency. If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate (and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, Page 3750) had been specified. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new European currency) where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will not constitute an Event of Default. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then with respect to each due date for any such payment on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the European Community and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency") which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU basket or U.S. dollars, in which all such payments due on or after that date with respect to this Note shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall, where practicable, be published in the manner described in "Notices" below. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then on the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a Chosen Currency in which all such payments with respect to this Note having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined on the following basis by, or on behalf of, an Exchange Rate Agent appointed by the Issuer. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components composing the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf; provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of notes denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of this Note. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided. If this Note is listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited and such Exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the holder of this Note. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder of this Note as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. If this Note is denominated in pounds sterling, the Issuer represents that it is not an authorized institution (for purposes of the United Kingdom Banking Act 1987) and repayment of the principal of, and payment of any interest or premium on, this Note has not been guaranteed, that it has complied with its obligations under the listing rules of The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited (the "Rules") and that, since the last publication in compliance with the Rules of information about it, it, having made all reasonable inquiries, has not become aware of any change in circumstances which could reasonably be regarded as significantly and adversely affecting its ability to meet its obligations in respect of the Notes as they fall due. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders of the Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses with the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. Notice of redemption to all other holders of Notes shall be published in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below, once in each of the three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date set for redemption. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued upon the cancellation hereof. If redeemed prior to maturity, this Note must be presented for payment together with all unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining hereto, failing which the amount of any missing unmatured coupon will be deducted from the sum due for payment; provided, however, that such deduction may be waived by the Issuer and the Principal Paying Agent if there is furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require. The Company will not be required (i) to exchange any Bearer Note to be redeemed for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or (ii) to exchange any Bearer Note selected for redemption or surrendered for optional repayment, except that such Bearer Note may be exchanged for a Registered Note of like tenor unless indicated otherwise on the face of this Note, provided that such Registered Note shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption or repayment, as the case may be. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein. On any Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of $1,000 or, if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in increments of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 15 but not more than 30 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note, together with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto, with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed together with any unmatured coupons, will be received by the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note, together with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto, and form duly completed are received by the Principal Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to the Base Rate shown on the face hereof based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date (as used herein, the term "Interest Reset Date" shall include the Initial Interest Reset Date). The determination of the rate of interest at which this Note will be reset on any Interest Reset Date shall be made on the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Reset Dates will be the Interest Reset Dates specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the next preceding Business Day. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate and CMT Rate will be the second Business Day next preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR shall be the second London Banking Day preceding such Interest Reset Date except that the Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for a LIBOR Note for which the Index Currency is pounds sterling will be such Interest Reset Date. As used herein, "London Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in the Index Currency (as defined herein) are transacted in the London interbank market. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date for Notes bearing interest calculated by reference to the Treasury Rate shall be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury bills normally would be auctioned; provided, however, that if as a result of a legal holiday an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding such Interest Reset Date, the related Interest Determination Date shall be such preceding Friday; and provided, further, that if an auction shall fall on any Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date shall instead be the first Business Day following the date of such auction. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Calculation Date" pertaining to an Interest Determination Date will be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (or, with respect to any principal amount to be redeemed or repaid, any redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Determination of CD Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CD Rate, the CD Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for negotiable certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates," or any successor publication of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("H.15(519)"), under the heading "CDs (Secondary Market)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the CD Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date for negotiable certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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" (the "Composite Quotations") under the heading "Certificates of Deposit." If such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent referred to on the face hereof and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date for certificates of deposit in an amount that is representative for a single transaction at that time with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof 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 United States money center banks of the highest credit standing in the market for negotiable certificates of deposit; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the "CD Rate" in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the CD Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of Commercial Paper Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the Money Market Yield (as defined herein) of the rate on such date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as such rate shall be published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper." In the event that such rate is not published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published in 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 available in either H.15(519) or Composite Quotations, then the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers in commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting offered rates as mentioned in this sentence, the "Commercial Paper Rate" in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Commercial Paper Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Money Market Yield" shall be the 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 applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof. Determination of Federal Funds Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate on such date for Federal Funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal Funds (Effective)," or, if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in Composite Quotations under the heading "Federal Funds/Effective Rate." If such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or the Composite Quotations by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Federal Funds Rate for such 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 as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, arranged by three leading brokers in Federal funds transactions in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if the brokers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the "Federal Funds Rate" in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the Federal Funds Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of LIBOR. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the specified Designated LIBOR Page (as defined 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 for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, which appear on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date, if at least two such offered rates appear (unless, as aforesaid, only a single rate is required) on such Designated LIBOR Page, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the rate for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, each as designated on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or if no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), LIBOR in respect of that Interest Determination Date will be determined as if the parties had specified the rate described in (ii) below. (ii) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear (if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof and calculation of LIBOR is based on the arithmetic mean of the offered rates) or no rate appears (if the Reporting Service on the face hereof specifies either (x) "LIBOR Reuters" and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate or (y) "LIBOR Telerate"), 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 (after consultation with the Issuer), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in the Index Currency for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date), to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency if the Index Currency is not the U.S. dollar) that is representative of 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 Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined on such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M. (or such other time specified on the face hereof), in the applicable principal financial center for the country of the Index Currency on such Interest Determination Date, by three major banks in such principal financial center selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) on such Interest Determination Date for loans in the Index Currency to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date (or, if pounds sterling is the Index Currency, commencing on such Interest Determination Date) and in a principal amount of not less than U.S.$1 million (or the equivalent in the Index Currency) that is representative of a single transaction in such Index Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as mentioned in this sentence, "LIBOR" for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the LIBOR Notes for which LIBOR is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Index Currency" means the currency (including composite currencies) specified as Index Currency on the face hereof. If no such currency is specified as Index Currency on the face hereof, the Index Currency shall be U.S. dollars. "Designated LIBOR Page" means either (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is designated as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the applicable Index Currency. If neither LIBOR Reuters nor LIBOR Telerate is specified as the Reporting Service on the face hereof, LIBOR for the applicable Index Currency will be determined as if LIBOR Telerate (and, if the U.S. dollar is the Index Currency, Page 3750) had been specified. Determination of Prime Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate set forth in H.15(519) for such date opposite the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not yet published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate for such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank named on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as in effect for such Interest Determination Date as quoted on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page on such Interest Determination Date, or, if fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen USPRIME 1 Page for such Interest Determination Date, the rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by at least two of the three major money center banks in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent from which quotations are requested. If fewer than two quotations are provided, 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 in The City of New York by the appropriate number of substitute banks or trust companies organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or any State thereof, in each case having total equity capital of at least U.S. $500 million and being subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, selected by the Calculation Agent to quote such rate or rates; provided, however, that if the banks or trust companies selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting rates as set forth above, the "Prime Rate" in effect for such Interest Reset Period will be the same as the Prime Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). "Reuters Screen US PRIME1 Page" means the display designated as Page "US PRIME1" on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the US PRIME1 Page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United States banks). Determination of Treasury Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate for the auction held on such date of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Treasury Bills-- auction average (investment)," or if not so published by 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate on such Interest Determination Date (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 the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not published or reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date or if no such auction is held on such Interest Determination Date, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) calculated using the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting bid rates as mentioned in this sentence, the "Treasury Rate" for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the Treasury Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). Determination of CMT Rate. If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date and shall be the rate displayed for the Index Maturity specificed on the face hereof on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined below) under the caption "Daily Treasury Constant Maturities and Money Markets/Federal Reserve Board Release H.15" 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 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 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 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 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 Interest Determination Date with respect to the related 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 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 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 (which may include the affiliates of the Issuer or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer) 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 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 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 Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Issuer, 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 not 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 for such Interest Reset Date will be the same as the CMT Rate for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable hereon shall be the Initial Interest Rate). If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used. "Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Dow Jones Telerate Service specified on the face hereof (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 on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052, for the most recent week. "Designated CMT Maturity Index" shall be the original period to maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities (either 1,2,3,5,7,10,20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the designated CMT Maturity Index shall be two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the Base Rate is CD Rate, Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, Prime Rate or LIBOR, as specified on the face hereof, or by the actual number of days in the year if the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate or the CMT Rate, as specified on the face hereof. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one- millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). This Note and the coupons appertaining hereto and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note is issued in definitive bearer form with coupons attached (a "Definitive Bearer Note") and, unless otherwise indicated on the face hereof, is issuable only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face hereof. Notes also are issuable in global bearer form without coupons (the "Global Bearer Notes" and, together with the Definitive Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") or in definitive registered form (the "Registered Notes"), in each case, unless otherwise indicated on the face thereof, only in the minimum denominations set forth on the face thereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of the Specified Currency set forth on the face thereof. This Note and the coupons appertaining hereto may be transferred by delivery. At the option of the holder of this Note, and subject to the terms of the Senior Indenture, this Note (with all unmatured coupons, and all matured coupons, if any, in default appertaining hereto) will be exchanged for two or more Definitive Bearer Notes (if this Note is issuable in more than one authorized denomination) or for a Registered Note, in each case, of any authorized denomination of like tenor and in an equal aggregate principal amount, in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Indenture, at the office of the Trustee in The City of New York (which initially has been appointed registrar and transfer agent for the Notes) or at the office of the Principal Paying Agent in London (which initially has been appointed transfer agent for the Notes), or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Issuer for such purpose. If this Note is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Note after the close of business at any such office on any record date (whether or not a Business Day) for the payment of interest on such Registered Note and before the opening of business at such office on the relevant Interest Payment Date, this Note shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date. All such exchanges of Notes and coupons will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. None of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be required to exchange this Note for a Registered Note if such exchange would result in adverse United States Federal income tax consequences to the Issuer under then applicable United States federal income tax laws. The date of any Registered Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange. In case any Note or any coupons appertaining thereto shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or coupon or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, with coupons corresponding to the coupons appertaining to the Note so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, or in exchange for the Note to which such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertained, with coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the coupons so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note or coupon, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note or coupon was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note and coupons shall be borne by the owner of the Note or the coupons mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any Notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due. Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the Notice. If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note or any coupons appertaining thereto would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note or any coupons appertaining thereto who is a United States Alien (as defined below) (other than such a requirement (a) that would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i) directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b) payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note, as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, or, at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon as practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice") stating the effective date of such certification, identification or other information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Issuer redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall elect by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Notice of such redemption of this Note will be given to the holder of this Note not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Such redemption notice shall include a statement as to the last date by which this Note to be redeemed may be exchanged for Registered Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall subsequently determine, not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirement, in which case the Issuer shall publish prompt notice of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of no further effect. The right of the holder of this Note to exchange this Note for Registered Notes will terminate at the close of business of the Principal Paying Agent on the fifteenth day prior to the date fixed for redemption, and no further exchanges of this Note for Registered Notes shall be permitted. If and so long as the certification, identification or other information reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay as additional amounts such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United States following the effective date of such requirements by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note or any coupons appertaining thereto of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be disclosed to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with respect to the payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable in the circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result of presentation of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer elects to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the right to redeem this Note as a whole at any time pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and the redemption price of this Note will not be reduced for applicable withholding taxes. If the Issuer elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied, then the Issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto who is a United States Alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note or in any such coupon appertaining hereto to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account of: (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation by the holder of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization; (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto; (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe; (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or (h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g); nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this Note or any coupons appertaining thereto to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of debt securities of each series or of the coupons appertaining thereto so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. Except as set forth below, if the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars and such Specified Currency is not available to the Issuer for making payments hereon due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Issuer or is no longer used by the government of the country issuing such currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then the Issuer will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto by making such payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the date of such payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not available on such date, as of the most recent practicable date; provided, however, that if such Specified Currency is replaced by a single European currency (expected to be named the Euro), the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note denominated in such currency shall be effected in the new single European currency in conformity with legally applicable measures taken pursuant to, or by virtue of, the treaty establishing the European Community (the "EC"), as amended by the treaty on European Union (as so amended, the "Treaty"). Any payment made under such circumstances in U.S. dollars where the required payment is in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars (or, if applicable, such new single European currency, will not constitute an Event of Default. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then with respect to each due date for any such payment on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the European Community ("EC") and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member States of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency") which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU basket or U.S. dollars, in which all such payments due on or after that date with respect to this Note shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall, where practicable, be published in the manner described in "Notices" below. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. If the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note is payable in ECUs, then on the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the EC and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a Chosen Currency in which all such payments with respect to this Note having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. \ The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined on the following basis by, or on behalf of, an Exchange Rate Agent appointed by the Issuer. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components composing the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf; provided that such quotations were prevailing not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of notes denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of this Note. So long as this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note and the coupons appertaining hereto as herein provided. The Paying Agents initially designated by the Issuer are listed on the reverse of each coupon appertaining thereto. If this Note is listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited and such Exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes or coupons appertaining thereto that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes and coupons that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the holder of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder of this Note or any coupons appertaining hereto as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note or such coupon be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note for any claim based hereon or on any coupon appertaining hereto, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. This Note and the coupons appertaining hereto shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. As used herein: (a) the term "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York or in the City of London and (i) if this Note bears interest calculated by reference to LIBOR, that is also a London Banking Day, (ii) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, Australian dollars or ECUs, in the principal financial center of the country of the Specified Currency, (iii) if this Note is denominated in Australian dollars, in Sydney and (iv) if this Note is denominated in ECUs, that is not a non-ECU clearing day, as determined by the ECU Banking Association in Paris.

By________________________________ Title: TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION This is one of the Securities referred to in the within-mentioned Senior Indenture. CHEMICAL BANK, as Trustee By________________________________ Authorized Officer [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY] This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes, Series [D/E], having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the "Notes") of the Issuer. The Notes are issuable under a Senior Indenture, dated as of April 15, 1989, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as of May 15, 1991 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 15, 1996 (as so supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), between the Issuer and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Senior Indenture), to which Senior Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Issuer has appointed Chemical Bank, London Branch, as its principal paying agent for the Notes (the "Principal Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor Principal Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer). The terms of individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the Senior Indenture. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Senior Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein. This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs and except as set forth below, will not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to maturity. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on the first Interest Payment Date occurring on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof and thereafter on any Interest Payment Date, on the terms set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). If this Note is subject to "Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of redemption (except as provided below). Notice of redemption shall be mailed to the holders of the Notes designated for redemption who have filed their names and addresses with the Principal Paying Agent, not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the conditions and provisions of the Senior Indenture. Notice of redemption to all other holders of Notes shall be published in the manner set forth in "Notices" as defined below, once in each of the three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the date set for redemption. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note so redeemed, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so redeemed and noted. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee at least 130 days prior to the date fixed for redemption an Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed pursuant to this paragraph. If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the terms set forth herein. On any Interest Payment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in increments of ECU 1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination hereof) at the option of the holder hereof at a price equal to the Optional Repayment Percentage specified on the face hereof of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of repayment (except as provided below). For this Note to be repaid at the option of the holder hereof, the Principal Paying Agent must receive at its office in London, at least 90 but not more than 120 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States, Western Europe or Japan setting forth the name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be received by the Principal Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Principal Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof shall be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, the Principal Paying Agent shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note so repaid, whereupon the principal amount hereof shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so repaid and noted. This Note will bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below by reference to ECU LIBOR based on the Index Maturity, if any, shown on the face hereof (i) plus or minus the Spread, if any, or (ii) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof. Commencing with the Initial Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof and thereafter on each Interest Payment Date (each such date, including the Initial Interest Reset Date, an "Interest Reset Date"), the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Interest Accrual Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date shall be the second London Banking Day preceding such Interest Reset Date. As used herein, "London Banking Day" means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. Determination of ECU LIBOR. ECU LIBOR with respect to this Note shall be determined on each Interest Determination Date as follows: (i) As of the Interest Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the rate for deposits in ECU for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof which appear on Telerate Page 3750 (or such other page as may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks) at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date. (ii) If such rate does not appear on the Telerate Page 3750 (or such other replacement page), the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent (the "Reference Banks"), to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotations for deposits in ECU for the period of the Index Maturity, specified on the face hereof, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are provided, ECU LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. (iii) If fewer than two quotations are provided pursuant to (ii) above, ECU LIBOR in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major banks in Luxembourg selected by the Calculation Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., Luxembourg time, on such Interest Determination Date for loans in ECU to leading European banks, for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a principal amount that is representative of a single transaction in such market at such time. (iv) If fewer than three banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are quoting rates as mentioned in (iii) above, the Calculation Agent will request each of the Reference Banks to provide the Calculation Agent with the offered quotations provided to them by leading banks in each relevant interbank market for deposits in each of the then component currencies of the ECU (the "Relevant Currencies") for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as at 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Interest Determination Date (provided that, if the ECU is not then used as the unit of account of the European Community, the component currencies of the ECU shall be those determined by the Calculation Agent in the manner set forth below in the nineteenth succeeding paragraph with respect to payments in ECU) and the Calculation Agent will determine ECU LIBOR on the basis of the respective offered rates so communicated by the Reference Banks or any two or more of them weighted in the manner provided below, provided that, if on any Interest Determination Date the Reference Banks which are providing quotations do not provide offered quotations for all the Relevant Currencies, but do provide such quotations for Relevant Currencies representing in aggregate 95 percent (determined by the Calculation Agent as provided below) or more of one ECU on such Interest Determination Date, then ECU LIBOR for the applicable Interest Payment Period shall nevertheless be calculated pursuant to this sub-paragraph (iv) on the basis of the quotations so provided and ignoring the Relevant Currencies for which such quotations are not provided. (v) If the Reference Banks or any two or more of them (if only such provide quotations) provide the Calculation Agent with offered quotations pursuant to (iv) above for Relevant Currencies representing in aggregate less than 95 percent (determined as provided below) of one ECU on such Interest Determination Date then, with respect to each of the Relevant Currencies for which quotations are not so provided, the Calculation Agent shall determine such offered rates as are reasonably representative of the rates at which deposits in such Relevant Currency are being offered between leading banks selected by it in the relevant interbank market as of the Interest Determination Date for a period substantially co-extensive with the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof. If on any Interest Determination Date the Relevant Currencies for which quotations are provided by the Reference Banks pursuant to (iv) above and the Relevant Currencies for which rates are determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this sub-paragraph (v) represent in aggregate 95 percent or more (determined as provided below) of one ECU on such Interest Determination Date, then ECU LIBOR for the applicable Interest Payment Period shall be calculated on the basis of such quotations and rates. (vi) If on any Interest Determination Date fewer than two Reference Banks provide the Calculation Agent with offered quotations pursuant to (iv) above or if the Relevant Currencies for which quotations are provided by the Reference Banks pursuant to (iv) above and the Relevant Currencies for which rates are determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to (v) above represent in aggregate less than 95 percent (determined as provided below) of one ECU, then ECU LIBOR for the applicable Interest Payment Period will be the same as ECU LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Payment Period (or if the Interest Determination Date is the Initial Interest Determination Date, the rate of interest payable hereon will be Initial Interest Rate). The weighting to be given to a Relevant Currency, or the percentage which it bears to one ECU, shall be determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the proportion that the amount of such Relevant Currency included in one ECU bears to one ECU and calculated on the basis of the U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Relevant Currencies as at the Interest Determination Date. Such U.S. dollar equivalent shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in the manner provided in the nineteenth succeeding paragraph except that, (i) any reference therein to a Day of Valuation shall be deemed to refer to the Interest Determination Date, (ii) all decisions or choices to be made by the Exchange Rate Agent thereunder shall be made by the Calculation Agent and (iii) if the ECU is being used as the unit of account of the European Community on such Interest Determination Date, the components of the ECU shall be the currency amounts that are components of the ECU on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof. 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 Federal law of general application. At the request of the holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be. Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof shown on Schedule A hereto by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (.0000001), with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, 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 rounded upward). The interest rate in effect on any Interest Reset Date will be the applicable rate as reset on such date. The interest rate applicable to any other day is the interest rate from the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date (or, if none, the Initial Interest Rate). This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency. This Note is issued in permanent global bearer form without interest coupons attached (a "Global Bearer Note"). The beneficial owner of all or a portion of this Note may exchange its interest in this Note upon not less than 30 days' written notice to the Principal Paying Agent, in whole for Notes in bearer form with interest coupons attached (the "Definitive Bearer Notes," and, together with the Global Bearer Notes, the "Bearer Notes") in the minimum denominations set forth on the face hereof or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of ECU 100,000, at the office of the Principal Paying Agent, upon compliance with any procedures set forth in, or established pursuant to, the Senior Indenture; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required (i) to exchange this Note for a period of fifteen calendar days preceding the first publication of a notice of redemption of all or any portion hereof or (ii) to exchange any portion of this Note selected for redemption or surrendered for optional repayment. Upon exchange of any portion of this Note for a Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes, this Note will be exchanged in whole for Definitive Bearer Notes, whereupon this Note will be cancelled. All such exchanges of Notes will be free of service charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Registered Notes will not be issuable in exchange for this Note or for a Definitive Bearer Note or Definitive Bearer Notes. The date of any Note delivered upon any exchange of this Note shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange. All (and not less than all) interests in this Note will be exchanged for Definitive Bearer Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the following two sentences as soon as practicable after the first beneficial owner of an interest in this Note exchanges its interest for a Definitive Bearer Note, provided that a common depository located outside the United States (the "common depository") holding this Note for Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator"), Cedel Bank, societe anonyme ("Cedel") and/or any other relevant clearing system (including "Societe Interprofessionelle pour la Compensation des Valeurs Mobilieres ("SICOVAM")) instructs the Principal Paying Agent regarding the aggregate principal amount of Definitive Bearer Notes and the denominations of such Definitive Bearer Notes that must be authenticated and delivered to each of the Euroclear Operator and Cedel in exchange for this Note. Thereafter, the Principal Paying Agent, acting solely in reliance on such instructions, shall, upon surrender to it of this Note and subject to the conditions in the preceding paragraph, authenticate and deliver Definitive Bearer Notes in exchange for this Note in accordance with such instructions and shall cause Schedule A of this Note to be endorsed to reflect the reduction of its principal amount by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Note. This Note may be transferred by delivery; provided, however, that this Note may be transferred only to a common depositary outside the United States for the Euroclear Operator, Cedel and/or any other relevant clearing system or to a nominee of such depositary. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnify satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. The Senior Indenture provides that, (a) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Indenture) due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture, including the series of Senior Global Medium-Term Notes of which this Note forms a part, or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty of the Issuer applicable to the debt securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series (voting as a single class) may then declare the principal of all debt securities of all such series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately and (b) if an Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Senior Indenture applicable to all outstanding debt securities issued thereunder, including this Note, or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Issuer, shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such debt securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all affected series then outstanding. This Note may be redeemed, as a whole, at the option of the Issuer at any time prior to maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, if the Issuer determines that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the Original Issue Date hereof, the Issuer has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to this Note as described below. Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem have occurred, and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to such effect based on such statement of facts; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obligated to pay such Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of this Note were then due. Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, which date and the applicable redemption price will be specified in the Notice. If the Issuer shall determine that any payment made outside the United States by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note would, under any present or future laws or regulations of the United States, be subject to any certification, identification or other information reporting requirement of any kind, the effect of which is the disclosure to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority of the nationality, residence or identity of a beneficial owner of this Note who is a United States Alien (as defined below (other than such a requirement (a) that would not be applicable to a payment made by the Issuer or any Paying Agent (i) directly to the beneficial owner or (ii) to a custodian, nominee or other agent of the beneficial owner, or (b) that can be satisfied by such custodian, nominee or other agent certifying to the effect that such beneficial owner is a United States Alien; provided that in each case referred to in clauses (a)(ii) and (b) payment by such custodian, nominee or agent to such beneficial owner is not otherwise subject to any such requirement), the Issuer shall redeem this Note, as a whole, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, or, at the election of the Issuer if the conditions of the next succeeding paragraph are satisfied, pay the additional amounts specified in such paragraph. The Issuer shall make such determination and election as soon as practicable, shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof and shall publish prompt notice thereof (the "Determination Notice") stating the effective date of such certification, identification or other information reporting requirements, whether the Issuer will redeem this Note or has elected to pay the additional amounts specified in the next succeeding paragraph, and (if applicable) the last date by which the redemption of this Note must take place, as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If the Issuer redeems this Note, such redemption shall take place on such date, not later than one year after the publication of the Determination Notice, as the Issuer shall elect by notice to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Notice of such redemption of this Note will be given to the holder of this Note not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not so redeem this Note if the Issuer shall subsequently determine, not less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, that subsequent payments would not be subject to any such requirement, in which case the Issuer shall publish prompt notice of such determination and any earlier redemption notice shall be revoked and of no further effect. If and so long as the certification, identification or other information reporting requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph would be fully satisfied by payment of a backup withholding tax or similar charge, the Issuer may elect by notice to the Trustee to pay as additional amounts such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment made outside the United States following the effective date of such requirements by the Issuer or any Paying Agent of principal, premium or interest due in respect of this Note of which the beneficial owner is a United States Alien (but without any requirement that the nationality, residence or identity of such beneficial owner be disclosed to the Issuer, any Paying Agent or any governmental authority, with respect to the payment of such additional amounts), after deduction or withholding for or on account of such backup withholding tax or similar charge (other than a backup withholding tax or similar charge that (i) would not be applicable in the circumstances referred to in the second parenthetical clause of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, or (ii) is imposed as a result of presentation of this Note for payment more than 15 days after the date on which such payment becomes due and payable or on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. In the event the Issuer elects to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer shall have the right to redeem this Note as a whole at any time pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph and the redemption price of this Note will not be reduced for applicable withholding taxes. If the Issuer elects to pay additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph and the condition specified in the first sentence of this paragraph should no longer be satisfied, then the issuer will redeem this Note as a whole, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph. The Issuer will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") to the holder of this Note who is a United States Alien as may be necessary in order than every net payment of the principal of and interest on this Note and any other amounts payable on this Note, after withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in this Note to be then due and payable. The Issuer will not, however, be required to make any payment of Additional Amounts to any such holder for or on account of: (a) any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been so imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of such holder, if such holder is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, such holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or having had, a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation by the holder of this Note for payment on a date more than 15 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (b) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (c) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as a corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal income tax or as a private foundation or other tax-exempt organization; (d) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments on or in respect of this Note; (e) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of, or interest on, this Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent in a city in Western Europe; (f) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the holder or beneficial owner of this Note, if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; (g) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such holder's past or present status as the actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Issuer or as a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Issuer; or (h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g); nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment on this note to a United States Alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the holder of this Note. The Senior Indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of all series issued under the Senior Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner the rights of the holders of each series so affected; provided that the Issuer and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby, (a) extend the final maturity of any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or repayment thereof, or change the currency of payment thereof, or impair or affect the rights of any holder to institute suit for the payment thereof without the consent of the holder of each debt security so affected; or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of debt securities the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each debt security so affected. With respect to each due date for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, this Note on or after the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used as the unit of account of the European Community ("EC") and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a substitute currency (the "Chosen Currency") which may be any currency which was, on the last day on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC, a component currency of the ECU basket or U.S. dollars, in which all such payments due on or after that date with respect to this Note shall be made. Notice of the Chosen Currency so selected shall, where practicable, be published in the manner described in "Notices" below. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of the fourth business day in Brussels prior to the date on which such payment is due. On the first business day in Brussels on which the ECU ceases to be used neither as the unit of account of the EC, and has not become a currency in its own right, replacing all or some of the currencies of the member states of the EC, the Issuer shall choose a Chosen Currency in which all payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest with respect to this Note having a due date prior thereto but not yet presented for payment are to be made. The amount of each payment in such Chosen Currency shall be computed on the basis of the equivalent of the ECU in that currency, determined as described below, as of such first business day. The equivalent of the ECU in the relevant Chosen Currency as of any date (the "Day of Valuation") shall be determined on the following basis by, or on behalf of, an Exchange Rate Agent appointed by the Issuer. The amounts and components composing the ECU for this purpose (the "Components") shall be the amounts and components composing the ECU as of the last date on which the ECU was used as the unit of account of the EC. The equivalent of the ECU in the Chosen Currency shall be calculated by, first, aggregating the U.S. dollar equivalents of the Components; and then, in the case of a Chosen Currency other than U.S. dollars, using the rate used for determining the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Components in the Chosen Currency as set forth below, calculating the equivalent in the Chosen Currency of such aggregate amount in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar equivalent of each of the Components shall be determined by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the middle spot delivery quotations prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on the Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in the country of issue of the component currency in question. If for any reason no direct quotations are available for a Component as of a Day of Valuation from any of the banks selected for this purpose, in computing the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component, the Exchange Rate Agent shall (except as provided below) use the most recent direct quotations for such Component obtained by it or on its behalf; provided that such quotations were prevailing in the country of issue not more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation. If such most recent quotations were so prevailing in the country of issue more than two Business Days before such Day of Valuation, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of cross rates derived from the middle spot delivery quotations for such component currency and for the U.S. dollar prevailing at 2:30 P.M., Brussels time, on such Day of Valuation, as obtained by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent from one or more major banks, as selected by the Issuer, in a country other than the country of issue of such component currency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Exchange Rate Agent shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent of such Component on the basis of such cross rates if the Issuer or such agent judges that the equivalent so calculated is more representative than the U.S. dollar equivalent calculated as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Issuer, if there is more than one market for dealing in any component currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or for any other reason, the market to be referred to in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a non-resident issuer of notes denominated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. Payments in the Chosen Currency will be made at the specified office of a paying agent in the country of the Chosen Currency, or, if none, or at the option of the holder, at the specified office of any Paying Agent either by a check drawn on, or by transfer to an account maintained by the holder with, a bank in the principal financial center of the country of the Chosen Currency. All determinations referred to above made by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or by, or on behalf of, the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at such entity's sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on holders of this Note. So long as this Note shall be outstanding, the Issuer will cause to be maintained an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note as herein provided. If this Note is listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland Limited and such Exchange so requires, the Issuer shall maintain a Paying Agent in London. The Issuer may designate other agencies for the payment of said principal, premium and interest at such place or places outside the United States (subject to applicable laws and regulations) as the Issuer may decide. So long as there shall be such an agency, the Issuer shall keep the Trustee advised of the names and locations of such agencies, if any are so designated. With respect to moneys paid by the Issuer and held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption or otherwise), (i) the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall notify the holders of such Notes that such moneys shall be repaid to the Issuer and any person claiming such moneys shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof and (ii) such moneys shall be so repaid to the Issuer. Upon such repayment all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation that the Issuer may have to pay the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on this Note as the same shall become due. No provision of this Note or of the Senior Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the holder of this Note. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the holder of this Note as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on this Note for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Senior Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
