                               Reverse of Security

                  This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities
of the Company designated as Index-Plus Notes Due November 15, 2009,
Performance Linked to the Dow Jones STOXX 50(SM) Index (SX5P) (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, at the request of the Trustee,
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.

                  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 and the
date three Business Days prior thereto was the Valuation 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, if any, or reduce any premium
payable on redemption, or make the principal thereof, or premium, if any, or
interest thereon, if any, payable in any coin or currency other than that
hereinabove provided, without the consent of





                                       4




the holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) change the place of payment on
any Security, or impair the right 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
whole 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





                                       5




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 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 agrees to treat, for all tax purposes, this Security as a financial
contract for cash settlement, rather than as a debt instrument.

                  THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         contracts relating to the Index or any Successor Index on the primary
         exchange or quotation system on which those futures or options

relevant percentage contribution of a security to the level of the Index or any
Successor Index will be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the level of
the Index attributable to that security and (y) the overall level of the Index,
in each case immediately before the occurrence of the Market Disruption Event.

obligations herein set out upon the terms and conditions hereof, including the
following, to all of which the Company agrees:

                  (a)   in acting under this Agreement, the Calculation Agent is

         assume any obligation toward, or any relationship of agency or trust
         for or with, any of the holders of the Securities;

                  (b)   unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any
         order, certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication
         from the Company or the Trustee made or given under any provision of
         this Agreement shall be sufficient if signed by any person whom the
         Calculation Agent reasonably believes to be a duly authorized officer
         or attorney-in-fact of the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be;

                  (c)   the Calculation Agent shall be obliged to perform only
         such duties as are set out specifically herein and any duties
         necessarily incidental thereto;

                  (d)   the Calculation Agent, whether acting for itself or in
         any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with
         the same rights as it would have had if it were not acting hereunder
         as Calculation Agent; and

                  (e)   the Calculation Agent shall incur no liability hereunder
         except for loss sustained by reason of its gross negligence or willful

by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the
Company and specifying such removal and the date when it shall become effective.
Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment by the
Company, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Calculation Agent and the
acceptance of such appointment by such successor Calculation Agent. In the event
a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed and has not accepted its
duties within 90 days of the Calculation Agent's notice of resignation, the

         of its creditors or consent to the appointment of a receiver or
         custodian of all or any substantial part of its property, or shall
         admit in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as they
         mature, or if a receiver or custodian of it or all or any substantial
         part of its property shall be appointed, or if any public officer
         shall have taken charge or control of the Calculation Agent or of its
         property or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
         or liquidation, a successor Calculation Agent shall be appointed by
         the Company by an instrument in writing, filed with the successor
         Calculation Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor
         Calculation Agent and acceptance by the latter of such appointment,
         the Calculation Agent so superseded shall cease to be Calculation
         Agent hereunder.

         shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor, to the
         Company and to the Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
         hereunder and agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof, and thereupon
         such successor Calculation Agent, without any further act, deed or
         conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights,
         powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor
         with like effect as if originally named as Calculation Agent
         hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and
         disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to
         transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor Calculation Agent
         shall be entitled to receive, all moneys, securities and other
         property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as Calculation
         Agent hereunder.

                  (d)   Any corporation into which the Calculation Agent
         hereunder may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the
         Calculation Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
         from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Calculation
         Agent shall be a party, or any corporation to which the Calculation
         Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the

         Calculation Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing
         of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
         hereto.

                                     ANNEX A
                                     -------


         1.       The Index.

                  The Index is the Dow Jones STOXX 50 Index (the "Index"), as
calculated, published and reported by STOXX Limited, a joint venture of Deutsche
Boerse AG, Dow Jones & Company, Inc. and the SWX Group ("STOXX Limited"). Dow
Jones & Company, Inc. compiles and maintains the Index, as well as the
proprietary data contained therein.

The Index is a free-float, market capitalization-weighted index of 50
securities, and it is currently designed to provide a European blue-chip
representation of market sector leaders on the major exchanges of 17 European
countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland,
Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
and the United Kingdom. Index components are selected from the Dow Jones
STOXX(SM) 600, which represents the 600 largest securities traded on all major
European exchanges. The Index is calculated and reported, in euros, by STOXX
Limited. The Index does not include the value of dividends paid on shares of the
component securities. As of November 10, 2004, the 50 companies included in the
Index were divided into the following market sectors: Consumer Discretion,
Consumer Staples, Energy, Financial Services, Healthcare, Industrials,
Information Technology, Materials, Telecom Services and Utilities (each company
is classified in only one Dow Jones STOXX market sector, such classification
being based on the company's primary revenue source). As of November 10, 2004,
the components comprising the Index came from only 10 of the potential 17
countries: Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

         2.       Determination of the Maturity Payment Amount.

                  The Calculation Agent shall, at the request of the Trustee,
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 be the following:

                  o    If the Final USD Index Level is greater than or equal to
                       the Initial USD Index Level, the sum of:



                               (1)  $1,000, and
                                                        Upside               Final USD             Initial USD
                               (2)  $1,000     x     Participation     x     Index Level     -     Index Level
                                                         Rate                ---------------------------------
                                                                                   Initial USD Index Level



                  o    If the Final USD Index Level is less than the Initial USD
                       Index Level and the Closing USD Index Level is at or
                       above the Threshold Level on all Exchange Business Days
                       during the Measurement Period, $1,000.







                  o    If the Final USD Index Level is less than the Initial USD
                       Index Level and the Closing USD Index Level has fallen
                       below the Threshold Level on any Exchange Business Day
                       during the Measurement Period, the product of:

                        (1)  $1,000, and

                        (2)   Final USD Index Level
                             -----------------------
                             Initial USD Index Level

         3.       Discontinuance of the Index.

         (a)      If STOXX Limited discontinues publication of the Index, and
         STOXX Limited and another entity publish a successor or substitute
         index (the "Successor Index") that the Calculation Agent determines,
         in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be comparable to
         the discontinued Index, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the
         Closing Index Level to be used for purposes of (x) determining whether
         the Closing USD Index Level has fallen below the Threshold Level on any
         Exchange Business Day during the Measurement Period and (y) computing
         the Maturity Payment Amount by reference to the Closing Index Level of
         such Successor Index on the applicable date.

         (b)      Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor
         Index, the Company shall promptly give notice to the holders of the
         Securities.

         (c)      If (i) on any date prior to and including the Valuation Date,
         STOXX Limited discontinues publication of the Index and the
         Calculation Agent determines that no Successor Index is available at
         such time or (ii) STOXX Limited or the publisher of any Successor
         Index, as the case may be, fails to calculate and announce a Closing
         Index Level for the Index or Successor Index, as the case may be, on
         any date when it would ordinarily calculate and announce such Closing
         Index Level in accordance with its customary practice, then, in the
         case of either (i) or (ii), on such date, the Calculation Agent shall
         determine the Closing Index Level to be used for purposes of (x)
         determining whether the Closing USD Index Level has fallen below the
         Threshold Level on any Exchange Business Day during the Measurement
         Period and (y) computing the Maturity Payment Amount. The Closing Index
         Level shall be computed by the Calculation Agent in such circumstances
         in accordance with the formula for, and method of, calculating the
         Index or Successor Index, as the case may be, last in effect prior to
         such discontinuance, using the closing price (or, if trading in any of
         the relevant securities has been materially suspended or materially
         limited, its good faith estimate of the closing price that would have
         prevailed but for such suspension or limitation) at the Close of
         Trading on such date of each security most recently comprising the
         Index or Successor Index, as the case may be, on the Relevant Exchange
         for such security.

         4.       Alteration of Method of Calculation.

                  If at any time the method of calculating the Index, a
Successor Index, the Closing Index Level or the Closing USD Index Level is
changed in a material respect, or if the Index or a Successor Index is in any
other way modified so that the Index or such Successor Index does not,

                                      A-2




in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the value of the Index
or such Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then,
from and after such time, the Calculation Agent will make such calculations and
adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be
necessary in order to arrive at a level of a stock index comparable to the Index
or such Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications
had not been made. The Calculation Agent will then calculate the Final USD Index
Level (and the Maturity Payment Amount) with reference to the Index or such
Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the
Index or a Successor Index is modified so that the level of such index is a
fraction of what it would have been if it had not been modified (for example,
due to a split in the index), then the Calculation Agent shall adjust such index
in order to arrive at a level of the Index or such Successor Index as if it had
not been modified (for example, if such split had not occurred).

         5.       Definitions.

                  Set forth below are the terms used in the Agreement and in

         futures or options contracts are traded, at any time during the
         one-hour period that ends at the close of trading for that primary
