Title: Authorized Signatory
(Reverse of Security)
This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the
Company designated as RAPIDS(sm), Return Accelerated PortfolIo Debt Securities
Notes Due November 5, 2002 (herein called the "Securities"). The Company may,
without the consent of the holders of the Securities, create and issue
additional notes ranking equally with the Securities and otherwise similar in
all respects so that such further notes shall be consolidated and form a single
series with the Securities; provided that no additional notes can be issued if
an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Securities. This series of
Securities is one of an indefinite number of series of debt securities of the
Company, issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as of September 1,
1987, as amended (herein called the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by
the Company and Citibank N.A., as trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and
all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description
of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities.
The Maturity Payment Amount shall be determined by the Calculation
Agent pursuant to the Calculation Agency Agreement.
All percentages resulting from any calculation with respect to the
Securities will be rounded at the Calculation Agent's discretion.
The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the Calculation
Agent of the Maturity Payment Amount and shall have no duty to make any such
determination.
This Security is not subject to any sinking fund and is not redeemable
prior to its Stated Maturity Date.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall occur and
be continuing, the amounts payable on all of the Securities may be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The
amount payable to the Holder hereof upon any acceleration permitted under the
Indenture will be equal to the Maturity Payment Amount calculated as though the
date of acceleration was the Stated Maturity Date and the date three Business
Days prior thereto was the Calculation Date.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate
principal amount of each series of Securities at the time Outstanding to be
affected (each series voting as a class), evidenced as in the Indenture
provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to, or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or
of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the
holders of the Securities of all such series; provided, however, that no such
supplemental indenture shall, among other things, (i) change the fixed maturity
of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest thereon or reduce any premium payable on
redemption, or make the principal thereof, or premium, if any, or interest
therein payable in any coin or currency other than that hereinabove provided,
without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) change
the place of payment on any Security, or impair the right
2
to institute suit for payment on any Security, or reduce the aforesaid
percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any
such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security
so affected. It is also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration
accelerating the maturity of any series of Securities, the holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series Outstanding may
on behalf of the holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past
default or Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series and
its consequences, except a default in the payment of interest, if any, or the
principal of, or premium, if any, on any of the Securities of such series, or in
the payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect
to Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
holders and owners of this Security and any Securities which may be issued in
exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation
thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal amount with respect to this
Security.
The Securities are issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiples of $1,000.
The Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or of the
Trustee may deem and treat the registered holder (the "Holder") hereof as the
absolute owner of this Security (whether or not this Security shall be overdue
and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the
purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, and for all other
purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or
of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such
payments made to or upon the order of such registered holder shall, to the
extent of the sum or sums paid, effectually satisfy and discharge liability for
moneys payable on this Security.
No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect
hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of
the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any
Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby,
shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as
such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation,
either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance
hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived
and released.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the
Corporate Trust Office or agency in a Place of Payment for this Security, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Securities of
3
this series or of like tenor and of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Company intends to treat and, by purchasing this Security, the
Holder hereof agrees to treat, for all tax purposes, this Security as a
financial contract for cash settlement, rather than as a debt instrument.

of the Maturity Payment Amount, which term shall, unless the context otherwise
requires, include its successors and assigns. The initial Calculation Agent
shall be Lehman Brothers Inc.

of Annex A of the Calculation Agency Agreement.
"Ending Price" shall mean, for each Underlying Equity Security, as
determined by the Calculation Agent based on information reasonably available to
it, subject to any Ending Price Adjustment:
(i) If the Underlying Equity Security is listed on a United States
national securities exchange or trading system or is a Nasdaq security, the last
reported sale price at the Close of Trading, regular way, on such day, on the
primary securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
on which such Underlying Equity Security is listed or admitted to trading or on
Nasdaq, as the case may be.
(ii) If the Underlying Equity Security is listed on a non-United States
securities exchange, trading system (other than a bulletin board) or market, the
last reported sale price at the Close of Trading, regular way, on such day, on
the primary exchange, trading system or market on which such Underlying Equity
Security is listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be. The Ending Price

U.S. dollars using the Official W.M. Reuters Spot Closing Rate.
(iv) If a Market Disruption Event has occurred for an Underlying Equity
Security on a day on which the Ending Price for such Underlying Equity Security
is to be calculated, the Ending Price for such Underlying Equity Security shall
initially be determined using the Ending Price for such Underlying Equity
Security on the next preceding Trading Day on which a Market Disruption Event
did not occur. Once the Market Disruption Event has ceased, the Ending Price of
such Underlying Equity Security shall then be adjusted to equal the Average
Execution Price of the Underlying Equity Security.
5
"Ending Price Adjustment" shall mean an adjustment made by the
Calculation Agent to an Underlying Equity Security's initial Ending Price due to
the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event three Business Days prior to the

Average Execution Price received upon the sale of that Underlying Equity
Security.
"Ending Value" shall mean the Ending Price, plus any cash or other
equity securities attributable to one share or unit of the Underlying Equity
Security as described in Section 4 of Annex A of the Calculation Agency
Agreement, multiplied by the Ending Multiplier.
"Holder" shall have the meaning set forth on the reverse of this
Security.
"Indenture" shall have the meaning set forth on the reverse of this
Security.
"Market Disruption Event", on any day, shall mean any of the following
events as determined by the Calculation Agent:
(i) A suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in an
Underlying Equity Security has occurred on that day, in each case, for more than
two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the Close of
Trading on the primary organized U.S. exchange or trading system on which that
security is traded or, in the case of an Underlying Equity Security not listed
or quoted in the United States, on the primary exchange, trading system or
market for that security. Limitations on trading during significant market
fluctuations imposed pursuant to the rules of any primary organized U.S.
exchange or trading system similar to NYSE Rule 80B or any applicable rule or
regulation enacted or promulgated by the NYSE, any other exchange, trading
system or market, any other self regulatory organization or the Securities and
Exchange Commission of similar scope or as a replacement for Rule 80B, may be
considered material. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph, a
Market Disruption Event for a security traded on a bulletin board means a
suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of that security for more
than two hours or during the one-hour period preceding the Close of Trading.
(ii) A suspension, absence or material limitation has occurred on that
day, in each case, for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half
hour period preceding the Close of Trading in options contracts related to an
Underlying Equity Security, whether by reason of movements in price exceeding
levels permitted by an exchange, trading system or market on which such options
contracts are traded or otherwise.
(iii) Information is unavailable on that date, through a recognized
system of public dissemination of transaction information, for more than two
hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the Close of
Trading, of accurate price, volume or related information in respect of an
Underlying Equity Security or in respect of options contracts related to an
Underlying Equity Security, in each case traded on any major U.S. exchange or
trading system or, in the case of securities of a non-U.S. issuer, traded on the
primary non-U.S. exchange, trading system or market.
For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has
occurred:
6
(i) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading shall not
constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in
the regular business hours of the relevant exchange, trading system or market;
(ii) any suspension in trading in an options contract on an Underlying
Equity Security by a major securities exchange, trading system or market by
reason of (a) a price change violating limits set by such securities market, (b)
an imbalance of orders relating to those contracts, or (c) a disparity in bid
and ask quotes relating to those contracts, shall constitute a Market Disruption
Event notwithstanding that the suspension or material limitation is less than
two hours;
(iii) a suspension or material limitation on an exchange, trading
system or in a market shall include a suspension or material limitation of
trading by one class of investors provided that the suspension continues for
more than two hours of trading or during the last one-half hour period preceding
the Close of Trading on the relevant exchange, trading system or market, but
shall not include any time when the relevant exchange, trading system or market
is closed for trading as part of that exchange's, trading system's or market's
regularly scheduled business hours; and
(iv) "trading systems" include bulletin board services.
"Maturity Payment Amount" shall equal, for each $1,000 principal amount
of Securities, the sum of the Adjusted Values of each Underlying Equity
Security. In the event that the Calculation Agent makes an Ending Price
Adjustment due to the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event, the payment by
the Company of the Maturity Payment Amount will be postponed until the date
three Business Days after the date of determination of any such Ending Price
Adjustment.

other unit expressed as a decimal) of such Underlying Equity Security included
in the Basket.

"NYSE" shall mean the New York Stock Exchange.

ANNEX A
1. The Basket.
The Basket shall be composed of the Underlying Equity Securities (the
"Basket").
2. Determination of the Maturity Payment Amount.
The Calculation Agent shall determine the amount payable on the Stated
Maturity Date for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities (the "Maturity
Payment Amount"). The Maturity Payment Amount shall equal the sum of the
Adjusted Values of each Underlying Equity Security. In the event that the
Calculation Agent makes an Ending Price Adjustment due to the occurrence of a
Market Disruption Event, the payment by the Company of the Maturity Payment
Amount will be postponed until the date three Business Days after the date of
determination of any such Ending Price Adjustment.
3. Multipliers for the Common Stocks in the Basket.
The multiplier for each Underlying Equity Security in the Basket shall
be the number of shares or other units (including ADRs) (or fraction of a share
or other unit expressed as a decimal) of such Underlying Equity Security
included in the Basket (the "Multiplier"). The Multiplier shall be adjusted from
time to time during the term of the Securities to give effect to the
extraordinary corporate transactions described below in Section 4. The price
used to determine the Starting Multiplier for each Underlying Equity Security
shall be determined based on the Average Execution Price for each Underlying
Equity Security. The Starting Multiplier for each Underlying Equity Security in
the Basket will remain constant unless adjusted. No adjustment to a Multiplier
will be required unless the adjustment would require a change of at least 0.1%
in the Multiplier then in effect. Each Multiplier, and any adjustments to a
Multiplier, will be rounded at the Calculation Agent's discretion.
4. Adjustments to the Common Stocks in the Basket.
Adjustments to the Underlying Equity Securities included in the Basket
will be made (i) by adjusting the Multiplier then in effect for an Underlying
Equity Security in the Basket, (ii) by adding new Underlying Equity Securities,
other securities or cash to the Basket and/or (iii) by removing Underlying
Equity Securities in the Basket, each as described below. For purposes of these
adjustments, except as noted below, ADRs are treated like Underlying Equity
Securities if a comparable adjustment to the foreign shares underlying the ADRs
is made pursuant to the terms of the depositary arrangement for the ADRs or if
holders of ADRs are entitled to receive property in respect of the underlying
foreign shares.
o If an Underlying Equity Security is subject to a stock split or reverse
stock split, then once the split has become effective, the Multiplier
then in effect relating to that Underlying Equity Security will be
adjusted. The Multiplier will be adjusted to equal the product of the
number of shares outstanding after the split with respect to each share
immediately prior to effectiveness of the split and the prior
Multiplier.
o If an Underlying Equity Security is subject to an extraordinary stock
dividend or extraordinary stock distribution in common stock that is
given equally to all holders of shares, then once the Underlying Equity
Security is trading ex-dividend, the Multiplier
2
will be increased by the product of the number of shares issued with
respect to one share and the prior Multiplier.
o If the issuer of an Underlying Equity Security, or, if an Underlying
Equity Security is an ADR, the foreign issuer of the underlying foreign
share, is being liquidated or dissolved or is subject to a proceeding
under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, the
Underlying Equity Security will continue to be included in the Basket
so long as the primary exchange, trading system or market is reporting
a market price for the Underlying Equity Security. If a market price,
including a price on a bulletin board service, is no longer available
for an Underlying Equity Security included in the Basket, then the
value of that Underlying Equity Security will equal zero for so long as
no market price is available, and no attempt will be made to find a
replacement stock or increase the Basket to compensate for the deletion
of that Underlying Equity Security.
o If the issuer of an Underlying Equity Security, or, if an Underlying
Equity Security is an ADR, the foreign issuer of the underlying foreign
share, has been subject to a merger or consolidation and is not the
surviving entity and holders of the issuer's common stock are entitled
to receive cash, securities, other property or a combination of those
in exchange for their common stock, then the following will be included
in the Basket:
o To the extent cash is received, the Basket will include the
amount of the cash consideration at the time holders are
entitled to receive the cash consideration, plus accrued
interest. Interest will accrue beginning on the first London
Business Day after the day on which holders receive the cash
consideration until the Stated Maturity Date. Interest will
accrue at a rate equal to LIBOR with a term corresponding to
the interest accrual period stated in the preceding sentence.
o To the extent that equity securities that are traded or listed
on an exchange, trading system or market are received, once
the exchange for the new securities has become effective, the
former Underlying Equity Security will be removed from the
Basket and the new securities will be added to the Basket. The
Multiplier for the new securities will equal the product of
the last value of the Multiplier of the original Underlying
Equity Security and the number of securities of the new
security exchanged with respect to one share of the original
Underlying Equity Security.
o To the extent that equity securities that are not traded or
listed on an exchange, trading system or market or non-equity
securities or other property (other than cash) is received,
the calculation agent will determine the fair market value of
the securities or other property received and the Basket will
include an amount of cash equal to the product of the
Multiplier and the fair market value. The Basket will also
include accrued interest on that amount. Interest will accrue
beginning on the first London Business Day after the day that
an affiliate of the Company sells the securities or other
property used to hedge the Company's obligations under the
notes until the Stated Maturity Date. Interest will accrue at
a rate equal to LIBOR with a term corresponding to the
interest accrual period stated in the preceding sentence.
3
o If all of the shares of the class of common stock of which an
Underlying Equity Security is a part are converted into or exchanged
for the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of
common stock other than that class of common stock of which the
Underlying Equity Security is a part, whether by capital
reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification, then, once the
conversion has become effective, the former Underlying Equity Security
will be removed from the Basket and the new common stock will be added
to the Basket as an Underlying Equity Security. The Multiplier for each
new Underlying Equity Security added to the Basket will equal the
product of the last value of the Multiplier of the original Underlying
Equity Security and the number of shares of the new Underlying Equity
Security issued with respect to one share of the original Underlying
Equity Security.
o If the issuer of an Underlying Equity Security in the Basket, or if an
Underlying Equity Security is an ADR, the issuer of the underlying
foreign share, issues to all of its shareholders common stock or
another equity security that is traded or listed on an exchange,
trading system or market of an issuer other than itself, then the new
common stock or other equity security will be added to the Basket as an
Underlying Equity Security. The Multiplier for the new Underlying
Equity Security will equal the product of the last value of the
Multiplier with respect to the original Underlying Equity Security and
the number of shares of the new Underlying Equity Security issued with
respect to one share of the original Underlying Equity Security.
o If an ADR is no longer listed or admitted to trading on a United States
securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 or is no longer a security quoted on the Nasdaq, then the foreign
share underlying the ADR will be deemed to be a new common stock
included in the Basket. The initial Multiplier for that new Underlying
Equity Security will equal the last value of the Multiplier for the ADR
multiplied by the number of underlying foreign shares represented by a
single ADR.
o If an Underlying Equity Security is subject to an extraordinary
dividend or an extraordinary distribution (including upon liquidation
or dissolution) of cash, equity securities that are not traded or
listed on an exchange, trading system or market, non-equity securities
or other property of any kind which is received equally by all holders
of the class of common stock of which the Underlying Equity Security is
a part, then the Basket will include the following:
o To the extent cash is entitled to be received, the Basket will
include on each day after the time that the Underlying Equity
Security trades ex-dividend until the date the cash
consideration is entitled to be received, the present value of
the cash to be received, discounted at a rate equal to LIBOR,
with a term beginning that day and ending on the date that the
cash is entitled to be received. When the cash consideration
is received, the Basket will include the amount of the cash
consideration, plus accrued interest. Interest will accrue
beginning the first London Business Day after the day that
holders receive the cash consideration until the Stated
Maturity Date. Interest will accrue at a rate equal to LIBOR
with a term corresponding to the interest accrual period
stated in the preceding sentence.
o To the extent that equity securities that are not traded or
listed on an exchange, trading system or market or non-equity
securities or other property (other than cash) are received,
the Calculation Agent will determine the fair market value of
the securities or other property received and the Basket will
include an amount of cash equal to the product of the
Multiplier and the fair market value. The Basket will also
include accrued interest on that amount. Interest will accrue
beginning on the first London Business Day after the day that
an affiliate of the Company sells the securities or other
property used to hedge the Company's obligations under the
notes until the Stated Maturity Date. Interest will accrue at
a rate equal to LIBOR with a term corresponding to the
interest accrual period stated in the preceding sentence.
4
o If similar corporate events occur with respect to the issuer of an
equity security other than an Underlying Equity Security that is
included in the Basket, adjustments similar to the above will be made
for that equity security. In addition, if any other corporate events
occur with respect to the issuer of an Underlying Equity Security
included in the Basket, adjustments will be made to reflect the
economic substance of those events.
The payment of an ordinary cash dividend from current income or retained
earnings will not result in an adjustment to the Multiplier.

Underlying Equity Security by a major securities exchange, trading
system or market by reason of (a) a price change violating limits set
