This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

 

CITIBANK, N.A.
as Trustee
By:  

 

      Authorized Officer


Reverse of Security

This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as 100% Principal Protection Enhanced Participation Notes Linked to a Basket of Asian Indices Due September 28, 2012 (herein called the “Securities”). The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Securities, create and issue additional securities ranking equally with the Securities and otherwise similar in all respects so that such additional securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities; provided that no additional securities 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 Payment at Maturity, at the request of the Trustee, shall be determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the Calculation Agency Agreement. The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the Calculation Agent of the Payment at Maturity and shall have no duty to make any such determination. The Calculation Agent will provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, of the Payment at Maturity on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date.

All calculations with respect to the Basket Ending Level and the Basket Return (including each Index Return) will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., .876545 would be rounded to .87655); all dollar amounts related to determination of the Additional Amount payable at maturity, if any, per $1,000 principal amount Security will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate principal amount of Securities per Holder will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

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 $1,000 plus the Additional Amount. The Additional Amount will be calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Maturity Date and the third Business Day immediately preceding the date of acceleration were the Final Valuation Date. If the maturity of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to, provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to The Depository Trust Company of the cash amount due with respect to the Securities as promptly as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of acceleration.


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 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 Payment at Maturity 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 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 agrees, and by acceptance of beneficial ownership interest in the Securities of this series, each Holder of such Securities will be deemed to have agreed, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) to treat the Securities of this series as indebtedness that is subject to Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.1275-4 (the “Contingent Payment Regulations”) and (ii) to be bound by the Company’s determination of the “comparable yield” and “projected payment schedule,” within the meaning of the Contingent Payment Regulations, with respect to the Securities of this series. The Company has determined that the comparable yield is an annual rate of 5.28%, compounded semiannually. Based on the comparable yield, the projected payment schedule per $1,000 of such Securities is $1,297.68 due at maturity.

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

Definitions

Set forth below are definitions of the terms used in this Security.

Additional Amount”, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, per $1,000 principal amount Security paid at maturity shall equal the product of $1,000 × the Basket Return × the Participation Rate; provided, however, that if the Basket Return is less than zero, then the Additional Amount shall equal $0.

Basket” shall mean the basket consisting of three Basket Indices to which the Securities are linked.

• with respect to each Basket Index for which such day is not a Trading Day or for which a Market Disruption Event has occurred, determine the closing level of such Basket Index for use in calculating the Basket Index Ending Level by reference to the closing level of such Basket Index on the next Trading Day for such Basket Index on which there is not a Market Disruption Event; provided, however, if a Market Disruption Event with respect to such Basket Index occurs on each of the eight Trading Days following the originally scheduled Final Valuation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Closing Level of such Basket Index for use in calculating the Basket Index Ending Level in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the closing index level of such Basket Index last in effect prior to commencement of the Market Disruption Event (or prior to the non-Trading Day), using the closing price (or, if trading in 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 or non-Trading Day) on such eighth scheduled Trading Day of each security most recently included in the Basket Index.

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.

Index Closing Level”, as determined by the Calculation Agent, shall mean, with respect to any Trading Day, the closing level of any Basket Index or any Successor Index, as the

Market Disruption Event”, with respect to any of the Basket Indices (or any Successor Index) shall mean any of the following events has occurred on any day as determined by the Calculation Agent:

(1)    a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of stocks then constituting 20% or more of the level of such Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Index) on the Relevant Exchanges for such securities at any time during the one hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange;

(2)    a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the primary market of any Relevant Exchange as a result of which the reported trading prices for stocks then constituting 20% or more of the level of such Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Index) at any time during the one hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange are materially inaccurate;

(3)    a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on any major securities exchange for trading in futures or options contracts or exchange traded funds related to such Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Index) at any time during the one hour period preceding the close of, the principal trading session on such exchange; or

(4)    a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contracts or exchange traded funds;


For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists at any time, if trading in a security included in a Basket Index is materially suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the level of such Basket Index shall be based on a comparison of:

(1)    the portion of the level of such Basket Index attributable to that security relative to

(2)    the overall level of such Basket Index,

in each case immediately before that suspension or limitation.

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred:

(1)    a limitation on the hours 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;

(2)    limitations pursuant to the rules of any Relevant Exchange similar to NYSE Rule 80B (or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by any other self-regulatory organization or any government agency of scope similar to NYSE Rule 80B as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion) on trading during significant market fluctuations will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading;

(3)    a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts on the Basket Index by the primary securities market trading in such contracts by reason of (i) a price change exceeding limits set by such exchange or market, (ii) an imbalance of orders relating to such contracts, or (iii) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts, will, in each such case, constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts related to the Basket Index; and

(4)    a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on any Relevant Exchange or on the primary market on which futures or options contracts related to the Basket Index are traded will not include any time when such market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances.

Maturity Date” shall mean September 28, 2012, unless that day is not a Business Day, in which case the amount equal to the Payment at Maturity that would otherwise be made on the scheduled Maturity Date will instead be due on the next succeeding Business Day following such scheduled Maturity Date, with the same effect as if paid on the scheduled Maturity Date; provided, that if due to a non-Trading Day or a Market Disruption Event, the Final Valuation Date is postponed so that it falls less than three Business Days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date, the Maturity Date will be the third Business Day following the Final Valuation Date, as postponed.

NYSE” shall mean The New York Stock Exchange, Inc.

Participation Rate” shall be equal to 115%.


Payment at Maturity”, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, shall equal a cash payment per $1,000 principal amount Security of $1,000 plus the Additional Amount (which may be zero).

Place of Payment” shall mean the place or places where the Payment at Maturity on the Securities is payable.

Trading Day” means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which trading is generally conducted on (i) the Relevant Exchanges for securities included in the Basket Indices (or the relevant Successor Indices) and (ii) the exchanges on which futures or options contracts related to the Basket Indices are traded, other than a day on which trading is scheduled to close prior to its regular weekday closing time.

Trustee” shall have the meaning set forth on the reverse of this Security.

All terms used but not defined in this Security are used herein as defined in the Calculation Agency Agreement or the Indenture.

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine, among other things, the Basket Ending Level, the Basket Return, the Index Return for each Basket Index, the Additional Amount, if any, the amount that we will pay you at maturity, as well as whether the Basket Ending Level is equal to or greater than the Basket Starting Level. The Calculation Agent will also be responsible for determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred, whether any of the Basket Indices has been discontinued, whether there has been a material change in the method of calculation of any of the Basket Indices. All calculations, determinations and adjustments made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Holders and on the Company. The Company may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time after the date of the original issue of the Securities without the Holders’ consent and without notifying Holders.

Discontinuation of a Basket Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation

Nikkei 225SM Index

If Nikkei Inc. discontinues publication of the Nikkei 225SM Index and Nikkei Inc. or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued Nikkei 225SM Index (such index being referred to herein as a “Successor Basket Index”), then any Basket Index Closing Level for such Basket Index will be determined by reference to the level of such Successor Basket Index at the close of trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (2nd session) or the Relevant Exchange or market


for the Successor Basket Index on the Final Valuation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Basket Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.

If Nikkei Inc. discontinues publication of the Nikkei 225SM Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no Successor Basket Index is available at such time, or the Calculation Agent has previously selected a Successor Basket Index and publication of such Successor Basket Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on the Final Valuation Date, or if Nikkei Inc. (or the publisher of any Successor Basket Index) fails to calculate and publish a Closing Level for the Nikkei 225SM Index (or any Successor Basket Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level for such date. The Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish a Closing Level for the Nikkei 225SM Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in 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 the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently included in the Nikkei 225SM Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or a Successor Basket Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Nikkei 225SM Index or a Successor Basket Index is in any other way modified so that the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the Nikkei 225SM Index Closing Level is to be determined, 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 Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Closing Level with reference to the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or a Successor Basket Index is modified so that the level of Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the Nikkei 225SM Index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index in order to arrive at a level of Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM

If Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. (“MSCI”) discontinues publication of the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM and MSCI or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM (such index being referred to herein as a “Successor Basket Index”), then any Basket Index Closing Level for such Basket Index will be determined by reference to the level of such Successor Basket Index at the close of trading on the Relevant Exchange or market for the Successor Basket Index on the Final Valuation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Basket Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.


If MSCI discontinues publication of the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no Successor Basket Index is available at such time or the Calculation Agent has previously selected a Successor Basket Index and publication of such Successor Basket Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on the Final Valuation Date, or if MSCI (or the publisher of any Successor Basket Index) fails to calculate and publish a Closing Level for the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM (or any Successor Basket Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level on such date. The Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish a Closing Level for the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in 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 the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently included in the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or Successor Basket Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or a Successor Basket Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or a Successor Basket Index is in any other way modified so that the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or such Successor Basket Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or such Successor Basket Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM Closing Level is to be determined, 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 MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or such Successor Basket Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Closing Level with reference to the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or such Successor Basket Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or a Successor Basket Index is modified so that the level of the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or such Successor Basket Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM), then the Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or such Successor Basket Index in order to arrive at a level of the MSCI Singapore Free IndexSM or such Successor Basket Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

MSCI TaiwanSM Index

If MSCI discontinues publication of the MSCI TaiwanSM Index and MSCI or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued MSCI TaiwanSM Index (such index being referred to herein as a “Successor Basket Index”), then any Basket Index Closing Level for such Basket Index will be determined by reference to the level of such Successor Basket Index at the close of trading on the Relevant Exchange or market for the Successor Basket Index on the Final Valuation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Basket Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.


If MSCI discontinues publication of the MSCI TaiwanSM Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no Successor Basket Index is available at such time or the Calculation Agent has previously selected a Successor Basket Index and publication of such Successor Basket Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on the Final Valuation Date, or if MSCI (or the publisher of any Successor Basket Index) fails to calculate and publish a Closing Level for the MSCI TaiwanSM Index (or any Successor Basket Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level on such date. The Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish a Closing Level for the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in 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 the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently included in the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or a Successor Basket Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or a Successor Basket Index is in any other way modified so that the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or such Successor Basket Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or such Successor Basket Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the MSCI TaiwanSM Index Closing Level is to be determined, 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 MSCI TaiwanSM Index or such Successor Basket Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Closing Level with reference to the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or such Successor Basket Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or any Successor Basket Index is modified so that the level of the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or such Successor Basket Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the MSCI TaiwanSM Index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or such Successor Basket Index in order to arrive at a level of the MSCI TaiwanSM Index or such Successor Basket Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

Reverse of Security

This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as 100% Principal Protected Monthly Return Notes Linked to a Seasonal Strategy on the S&P 500® Index Due August 3, 2012 (herein called the “Securities”). The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Securities, create and issue additional securities ranking equally with the Securities and otherwise similar in all respects so that such additional securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities; provided that no additional securities 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 Payment at Maturity, at the request of the Trustee, shall be determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the Calculation Agency Agreement. The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the Calculation Agent of the Payment at Maturity and shall have no duty to make any such determination. The Calculation Agent will provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, of the Payment at Maturity on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date.

All calculations with respect to the Monthly Index Return, Final Strategy Return or any Index Closing Level will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., ..876545 would be rounded to .87655); all dollar amounts related to determination of the payment per $1,000 principal amount Security on the Maturity Date, if any, will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate principal amount of Securities per Holder will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

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 Payment at Maturity calculated as if the date of acceleration were the Maturity Date and as if the Trading Day preceding the date of acceleration were the Final Observation Day; provided, however, that if the date of acceleration occurs in a month that is not an Index Observation Month, the Final Strategy Return will be the sum of the Monthly Index Returns for the Index Observation Months that occurred before the date of acceleration. If the maturity of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to, provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to The Depository Trust Company of the cash amount due with respect to the Securities as promptly as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of acceleration.

 

1


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 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 Payment at Maturity 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

 

2


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 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 agrees, and by acceptance of beneficial ownership interest in the Securities, each Holder will be deemed to have agreed, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) to treat the Securities as indebtedness that is subject to Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.1275-4 (the “Contingent Payment Regulations”) and (ii) to be bound by the Company’s determination of the “comparable yield” and “projected payment schedule,” within the meaning of the Contingent Payment Regulations, with respect to the Securities. The Company has determined that the comparable yield is an annual rate of 5.5793%, compounded semiannually. Based on the comparable yield, the projected payment schedule per $1,000 principal amount Security is $1,304.70 due at maturity.

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

The initial Calculation Agent shall be Lehman Brothers Inc.

Closing Price” of a security, on any particular day, means the last reported sales price for that security on the Relevant Exchange at the scheduled weekday closing time of the regular trading session of the Relevant Exchange. If, however, the security is not listed or traded on a bulletin board, then the Closing Price of the security will be determined using the average execution price per share that an affiliate of the Company pays or receives upon the purchase or sale of the security used to hedge the Company’s obligations under the Securities.

The Index Closing Level for a Monthly Observation Day will not be determined on a date later than the eighth scheduled Trading Day after such Monthly Observation Day, as originally scheduled, and if such day is not a Trading Day, or if a Market Disruption Event occurs on such date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Index Closing Level for such day in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Index Closing Level last in effect prior to commencement of the Market Disruption Event (or prior to the non-Trading Day), using the Closing Price (or, if trading in the relevant securities has been materially suspended or materially limited, the Calculation Agent’s good faith estimate of the Closing Price that would have prevailed but for such suspension or limitation or non-Trading Day) on such eighth scheduled Trading Day of each security most recently making up the Index.

Index Observation Month” means any one of the following months of each year: January, March, April, May, July, October, November and December, beginning October 2007 and ending July 2012, inclusively.

For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists at any time, if trading in a security included in the Index is materially suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the level of the Index shall be based on a comparison of:

(1)    the portion of the level of the Index attributable to that security relative to

(2)    the overall level of the Index,

in each case immediately before that suspension or limitation.

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred:

(1)    a limitation on the hours 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;

Maturity Date” shall mean August 3, 2012, unless that day is not a Business Day, in which case the amount equal to the Payment at Maturity will be made on the next succeeding Business Day following August 3, 2012; provided, however, that if due to a non-Trading Day or a Market Disruption Event, the final Monthly Observation Day is postponed so that it falls fewer than three Business Days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date, the Maturity Date will be the third Business Day following the Final Observation Day, as postponed.

In addition, the Calculation Agent will determine whether there has been a Market Disruption Event or a discontinuation of the Index, and whether there has been a material change in the method of calculation of the Index. All calculations, determinations or adjustments made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Holders and on the Company. The Company may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time after the date of the original issue of the Securities without the Holders’ consent and without notifying Holders.

Discontinuation of the Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation

If S&P discontinues publication of the 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 Index (an “S&P 500® Successor Index”), then any Index Closing

Level will be determined by reference to the level of such S&P 500® Successor Index at the close of trading on the Relevant Exchange or market for the S&P 500® Successor Index on each applicable Monthly Observation Day. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of an S&P 500® Successor Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.

If S&P discontinues publication of the Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, an applicable Monthly Observation Day, and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no S&P 500® Successor Index is available at such time, or the Calculation Agent has previously selected an S&P 500® Successor Index and publication of such Successor Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, such applicable Monthly Observation Day, or if S&P (or the publisher of any S&P 500® Successor Index) fails to calculate and publish an Index Closing Level for the Index (or any S&P 500® Successor Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Index Closing Level for such date. The Index Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Index or S&P 500® Successor Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish an Index Closing Level for the Index or S&P 500® Successor Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in 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 the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently composing the Index or S&P 500® Successor Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the Index or an S&P 500® Successor Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Index or an S&P 500® Successor Index is in any other way modified so that the Index or such S&P 500® Successor Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Index or such S&P 500® Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the Index Closing Level is to be determined, 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 S&P 500® Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Index Closing Level with reference to the Index or such S&P 500® Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index or an S&P 500® Successor Index is modified so that the level of the Index or such S&P 500® Successor Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the Index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the Index or such S&P 500® Successor Index in order to arrive at a level of the Index or such S&P 500® Successor Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

Reverse of Security

This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as Return Optimization Securities Linked to an International Index Basket Due March 31, 2009 (herein called the “Securities”). The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Securities, create and issue additional securities ranking equally with the Securities and otherwise similar in all respects so that such additional securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities; provided that no additional securities 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 Payment at Maturity at the request of the Trustee shall be determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the Calculation Agency Agreement. The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the Calculation Agent of the Payment at Maturity and shall have no duty to make any such determination. The Calculation Agent will provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, of the Payment at Maturity on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date.

All calculations with respect to the Basket Ending Level and the Basket Return will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., .876545 would be rounded to .87655); all dollar amounts related to determination of the payment per $10 principal amount Security at maturity will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate principal amount of Securities per Holder will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

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 Payment at Maturity calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Maturity Date and the third Business Day immediately preceding the date of acceleration were the Valuation Date. If the maturity of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to, provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to The Depository Trust Company of the cash amount due with respect to the Securities as promptly as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of acceleration.

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 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 Payment at Maturity with respect to this Security.

The Securities are issuable in denominations of $10 and any whole multiples of $10.

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

 

2


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 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 cash-settled financial contract, 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.

Definitions

Set forth below are definitions of the terms used in this Security.

The initial Calculation Agent shall be Lehman Brothers Inc.

Closing Level” of a Basket Index on any Trading Day will equal the official closing level of such Basket Index, or any Successor Basket Index thereto, published following the regular official weekday close of trading for such Basket Index on that Trading Day.

Closing Price” of a security, on any particular day, means the last reported sales price for that security on the Relevant Exchange at the scheduled weekday closing time of the regular trading session of the Relevant Exchange. If, however, the security is not listed or traded on a bulletin board, then the Closing Price of the security will be determined using the average execution price per share that an affiliate of the Company pays or receives upon the purchase or sale of the security used to hedge the Company’s obligations under the Securities.

a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of stocks then constituting 20% or more of the level of such Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index) on the Relevant Exchanges for such securities at any time during the one hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange;

 

   

a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the primary market of any Relevant Exchange as a result of which the reported trading prices for stocks then constituting 20% or more of the level of such Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index) at any time during the one hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchange are materially inaccurate;

 

   

a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on any major securities exchange for trading in futures or options contracts or exchange traded funds related to such Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index) at any time during the one hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such exchange; or

 

   

a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contracts or exchange traded funds;

in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion.

For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists at any time, if trading in a security included in a Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index) is materially suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the level of such Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index) shall be based on a comparison of:

 

   

the portion of the level of such Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index) attributable to that security relative to

 

5


   

the overall level of such Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index),

 

   

in each case immediately before that suspension or limitation.

 

   

For purposes of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred:

 

   

a limitation on the hours 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;

 

   

limitations pursuant to the rules of any Relevant Exchange similar to NYSE Rule 80B (or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by any other self-regulatory organization or any government agency of scope similar to NYSE Rule 80B as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion) on trading during significant market fluctuations will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading;

 

   

a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts on a Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index) by the primary securities market trading in such contracts by reason of:

 

   

a price change exceeding limits set by such exchange or market,

 

   

an imbalance of orders relating to such contracts, or

 

   

a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts

will, in each such case, constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts related to such Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index); and

 

   

a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on any Relevant Exchange or on the primary market on which futures or options contracts related to a Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index) are traded will not include any time when such market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances.

Maturity Date” shall mean March 31, 2009, unless that day is not a Business Day, in which case the amount equal to the Payment at Maturity that would otherwise be due on the scheduled Maturity Date will instead be due on the next succeeding Business Day following such scheduled Maturity Date, with the same effect as if paid on the scheduled Maturity Date; provided that if due to a non-Trading Day or a Market Disruption Event, the Valuation Date is postponed so that it falls less than three Business Days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date, the Maturity Date will be the third Business Day following the Valuation Date, as postponed.

Payment at Maturity”, as calculated by the Calculation Agent for each $10 principal amount Security, shall equal:

 

6


   

If the Basket Ending Level is above the Basket Starting Level, the lesser of:

(1)    $10 + ($10 × Basket Return × Leverage Factor); and

(2)    $12.97

 

   

If the Basket Ending Level is equal to or below the Basket Starting Level, $10 + ($10 × Basket Return).

Place of Payment” shall mean the place or places where the Payment at Maturity on the Securities is payable.

Pricing Date” shall mean September 25, 2007.

Relevant Exchange” for any security (or any combination thereof) then included in a Basket Index or any Successor Basket Index, means the primary exchange, quotation system (which includes bulletin board services) or other market of trading for such security.

Securities” shall have the meaning set forth on the reverse of this Security.

Successor Basket Index” shall have the meaning specified under “Discontinuation of a Basket Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” with respect to each Basket Index.

Trading Day” means a day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which trading is generally conducted (i) on the Relevant Exchanges for securities included in the Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index) and (ii) the exchanges on which futures or options contracts related to the Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index) are traded, other than a day on which trading on such Relevant Exchange or exchange on which such securities, futures or options contracts are traded is scheduled to close prior to its scheduled weekday closing time.

Trustee” shall have the meaning set forth on the reverse of this Security.

Valuation Date” shall mean March 26, 2009; provided, however, that if the Valuation Date is not a Trading Day or if there is a Market Disruption Event on such day, with respect to a Basket Index, the Calculation Agent will:

 

   

with respect to each Basket Index for which such day is a Trading Day and for which a Market Disruption Event has not occurred, determine the Closing Level of such Basket Index for use in calculating the Basket Index Ending Level by reference to the Closing Level of such Basket Index on that Trading Day; and

 

   

with respect to each Basket Index for which such day is not a Trading Day or for which a Market Disruption Event has occurred, determine the Closing Level of such Basket Index for use in calculating the Basket Index Ending Level by reference to the Closing Level of such Basket Index on the next Trading Day for such Basket Index on which there is not a Market Disruption Event; provided, however, if a Market Disruption Event with respect

 

7


 

to such Basket Index occurs on each of the eight Trading Days following the originally scheduled Valuation Date, then the Calculation Agent shall determine the Closing Level of such Basket Index for use in calculating the Basket Index Ending Level in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Closing Level of such Basket Index last in effect prior to commencement of the Market Disruption Event (or prior to the non-Trading Day), using the closing price (or, if trading in 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 or non-Trading Day) on such eighth scheduled Trading Day of each security most recently included in the Basket Index.

All terms used but not defined in this Security are used herein as defined in the Calculation Agency Agreement or the Indenture.

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine, among other things, the Basket Ending Level (including each Basket Index Return and each Basket Index Ending Level), the Basket Return and the Payment at Maturity, if any, on the Securities. In addition, the Calculation Agent will determine whether there has been a Market Disruption Event or a discontinuation of any Basket Index (or the relevant Successor Basket Index) and whether there has been a material change in the method of calculating any of the Basket Indices. All calculations, determinations and adjustments made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Holders and on the Company. The Company may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time after the date of the original issue of the Securities without Holders’ consent and without notifying Holders.

Discontinuation of a Basket Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation

Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index

If STOXX Limited discontinues publication of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index and STOXX Limited or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index (such index being referred to herein as a “Successor Basket Index”), then any Basket Index Closing Level for such Basket Index will be determined by reference to the level of such Successor Basket Index at the close of trading on the Relevant Exchange or market for the Successor Basket Index on the Valuation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Basket Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.

If STOXX Limited discontinues publication of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Valuation Date and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no Successor Basket Index is available at such time, or the Calculation Agent has previously selected a Successor Basket Index and publication of such

 

8


Successor Basket Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Valuation Date, or if STOXX Limited (or the publisher of any Successor Basket Index) fails to calculate and publish a Closing Level for the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index (or any Successor Basket Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level for such date. The Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish a Closing Level for the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in 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 the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently included in the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or a Successor Basket Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or a Successor Basket Index is in any other way modified so that the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Successor Basket Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Successor Basket Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Closing Level is to be determined, 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 Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Successor Basket Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Closing Level with reference to the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Successor Basket Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or a Successor Basket Index is modified so that the level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Successor Basket Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Successor Basket Index in order to arrive at a level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Successor Basket Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

FTSE 100 Index®

If FTSE discontinues publication of the FTSE 100 Index® and FTSE or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued FTSE 100 Index® (such index being referred to herein as a “Successor Basket Index”), then any Basket Index Closing Level will be determined by reference to the level of such Successor Basket Index at the close of trading on the relevant exchange or market for the Successor Basket Index on the Valuation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Basket Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.

If FTSE discontinues publication of the FTSE 100 Index® prior to, and such discontinuance is continuing on, the Valuation Date and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no Successor Basket Index is available at such time, or the Calculation Agent has previously selected a Successor Basket Index and publication of such Successor Basket Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Valuation Date, or if FTSE (or the publisher of any Successor Basket Index) fails to calculate and publish a Closing Level for the FTSE 100 Index® (or any Successor Basket Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level on such date. The Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the FTSE 100 Index® or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish a Closing Level for the FTSE 100 Index® or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in 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 the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently included in the FTSE 100 Index® or Successor Basket Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the FTSE 100 Index® or a Successor Basket Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the FTSE 100 Index® or a Successor Basket Index is in any other way modified so that the FTSE 100 Index® or such Successor Basket Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the FTSE 100 Index® or such Successor Basket Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the FTSE 100 Index® Closing Level is to be determined, 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 FTSE 100 Index® or such Successor Basket Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Closing Level with reference to the FTSE 100 Index® or such Successor Basket Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the FTSE 100 Index® or a Successor Basket Index is modified so that the level of such FTSE 100 Index® or FTSE or Successor Basket Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the FTSE 100 Index®), then the Calculation Agent will adjust such FTSE 100 Index in order to arrive at a level of the FTSE 100 Index® or such Successor Basket Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

Nikkei 225SM Index

If Nikkei Inc. discontinues publication of the Nikkei 225SM Index and Nikkei Inc. or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued Nikkei 225SM Index (such index being referred to herein as a “Successor Basket Index”), then any Basket Index Closing Level for such Basket Index will be determined by reference to the level of such Successor Basket Index at the close of trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (2nd session) or the Relevant Exchange or market for the Successor Basket Index on the Valuation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Basket Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.

(or the publisher of any Successor Basket Index) fails to calculate and publish a Closing Level for the Nikkei 225SM Index (or any Successor Basket Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level for such date. The Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish a Closing Level for the Nikkei 225SM Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in 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 the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently included in the Nikkei 225SM Index or Successor Basket Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or a Successor Basket Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Nikkei 225SM Index or a Successor Basket Index is in any other way modified so that the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the Nikkei 225SM Index Closing Level is to be determined, 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 Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Closing Level with reference to the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or a Successor Basket Index is modified so that the level of Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the Nikkei 225SM Index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index in order to arrive at a level of Nikkei 225SM Index or such Successor Basket Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

Reverse of Security

This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as Performance Securities with Partial Protection Linked to a Global Index Basket Due September 30, 2010 (herein called the “Securities”). The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Securities, create and issue additional securities ranking equally with the Securities and otherwise similar in all respects so that such further securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities; provided, however, that no additional securities 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 Payment at Maturity, at the request of the Trustee, shall be determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the Calculation Agency Agreement. The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the Calculation Agent of the Payment at Maturity and shall have no duty to make any such determination. The Calculation Agent will provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, of the Payment at Maturity on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date.

All calculations with respect to the Basket Ending Level and the Basket Return (including each Index Return) will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., .876545 would be rounded to .87655); all dollar amounts related to determination of the Payment at Maturity per $10 principal amount Security will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate principal amount of Securities per Holder will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

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 the Payment at Maturity, which will be calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Maturity Date and the third Business Day immediately preceding the date of acceleration were the Final Valuation Date. If the maturity of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to, provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to The Depository Trust Company of the cash amount due with respect to the Securities as promptly as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of acceleration.


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 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 $10 and any whole multiples of $10.

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 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 cash-settled financial contract, 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.

with respect to each Basket Index for which such day is not a Trading Day or for which a Market Disruption Event has occurred, determine the closing level of such Basket Index for use in calculating the Index Ending Level by reference to the closing level of such Basket Index on the next Trading Day for such Basket Index on which no Market Disruption Event occurs; provided, however, if a Market Disruption Event with respect to such Basket Index occurs on each of the eight Trading Days following the originally scheduled Final Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Closing Level of such Basket Index for use in calculating the Index Ending Level in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the closing index level of such Basket Index last in effect prior to commencement of the Market Disruption Event (or prior to the non-Trading Day), using the closing price (or, if trading in 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 or non-Trading Day) on such eighth scheduled Trading Day of each security most recently included in the Basket Index.

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.

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine, among other things, the Basket Ending Level, the Basket Return, the Index Return for each Basket Index, and the Payment at Maturity, as well as whether the Basket Ending Level is equal to or greater than the Basket Starting Level. The Calculation Agent will also be responsible for determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred, whether any of the Basket Indices has been discontinued, and whether there has been a material change in the method of calculation of any of the Basket Indices. All calculations, determinations and adjustments made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Holders and on the Company. The Company may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time after the date of the original issue of the Securities without the Holders’ consent and without notifying Holders.

Discontinuation of a Basket Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation

S&P 500® Index

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 (an “S&P 500® Index


Successor Index”), then the Index Closing Level for such Basket Index will be determined by reference to the level of such S&P 500® Index Successor Index at the close of trading on the Relevant Exchange or market for the S&P 500® Index Successor Index on the Final Valuation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of an S&P 500® Index Successor Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.

If S&P discontinues publication of the S&P 500® Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date, and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no S&P 500® Index Successor Index is available at such time, or the Calculation Agent has previously selected an S&P 500® Index Successor Index and publication of such S&P 500® Index Successor Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date, or if S&P (or the publisher of any S&P 500® Index Successor Index) fails to calculate and publish an Index Closing Level for the S&P 500® Index (or any S&P 500® Index Successor Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Index Closing Level for such date. The Index Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the S&P 500® Index or S&P 500® Index Successor Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish an Index Closing Level for the S&P 500® Index or S&P 500® Index Successor Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in 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 the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently composing the S&P 500® Index or S&P 500® Index Successor Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the S&P 500® Index or an S&P 500® Index Successor Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the S&P 500® Index or an S&P 500® Index Successor Index is in any other way modified so that the S&P 500® Index or such S&P 500® Index Successor Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the S&P 500® Index or such S&P 500® Index Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the S&P 500® Index Closing Level is to be determined, 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 S&P 500® Index or such S&P 500® Index Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Index Closing Level with reference to the S&P 500® Index or such S&P 500® Index Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the S&P 500® Index or a Successor S&P 500® Index is modified so that the level of the S&P 500® Index or such S&P 500® Index Successor Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the Index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the S&P 500® Index or such S&P 500® Index Successor Index in order to arrive at a level of the S&P 500® Index or such S&P 500® Index Successor Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index

If STOXX Limited discontinues publication of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index and STOXX Limited or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued


Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index (a “Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index”), then the Index Closing Level for such Basket Index will be determined by reference to the level of such Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index at the close of trading on the Relevant Exchange or market for the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index on the Final Valuation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.

If STOXX LIMITED discontinues publication of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date, and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index is available at such time, or the Calculation Agent has previously selected a Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index and publication of such Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date, or if STOXX LIMITED (or the publisher of any Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index) fails to calculate and publish an Index Closing Level for the STOXX LIMITED EAFE Index (or any Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Index Closing Level for such date. The Index Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish an Index Closing Level for the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in 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 the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently composing the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or a Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or a Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index is in any other way modified so that the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the Index Closing Level is to be determined, 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 Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Index Closing Level with reference to the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or a Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index is modified so that the level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the Index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index in order to arrive at a level of the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or such Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index Successor Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).


Nikkei 225SM Index

If Nikkei Inc. discontinues publication of the Nikkei 225SM Index and Nikkei Inc. or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued Nikkei 225SM Index (an “Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index”), then the Index Closing Level for such Basket Index will be determined by reference to the level of such Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index at the close of trading on the Relevant Exchange or market for the Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index on the Final Valuation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.

If Nikkei Inc. discontinues publication of the Nikkei 225SM Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date, and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index is available at such time, or the Calculation Agent has previously selected a Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index and publication of such Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, the Final Valuation Date, or if Nikkei Inc. (or the publisher of any Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index) fails to calculate and publish an Index Closing Level for the Nikkei 225SM Index (or any Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Index Closing Level for such date. The Index Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish an Index Closing Level for the Nikkei 225SM Index or Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in 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 the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently composing the Nikkei 225SM Index or Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or a Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Nikkei 225SM Index or a Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index is in any other way modified so that the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the Index Closing Level is to be determined, 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 Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Index Closing Level with reference to the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Nikkei 225SM Index or a Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index is modified so that the level of the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the Index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index in order to arrive at a level of the Nikkei 225SM Index or such Nikkei 225SM Index Successor Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).

Reverse of Security

This Security is one of a duly authorized series of Securities of the Company designated as Autocallable Optimization Securities with Contingent Protection Linked to The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Due March 30, 2009 (herein called the “Securities”). The Company may, without the consent of the holders of the Securities, create and issue additional securities ranking equally with the Securities and otherwise similar in all respects so that such additional securities shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Securities; provided that no additional securities 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 Payment at Maturity or amount due upon an Automatic Call, if applicable, at the request of the Trustee, shall be determined by the Calculation Agent pursuant to the Calculation Agency Agreement. The Trustee shall fully rely on the determination by the Calculation Agent of the Payment at Maturity or amount due upon an Automatic Call, if applicable, and shall have no duty to make any such determination. The Calculation Agent will provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, of the Payment at Maturity or amount due upon an Automatic Call, if applicable, on or prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day preceding the Maturity Date or applicable Call Settlement Date.

All calculations with respect to the Initial Index Level, the Ending Index Level, the Index Return or any Index Closing Level will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., .876545 would be rounded to .87655); all dollar amounts related to determination of the payment per $10 principal amount Security on the Maturity Date or Call Settlement Date, if any, will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., ..76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate principal amount of Securities per Holder will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

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 Payment at Maturity calculated as though the date of acceleration were the Final Valuation Date. If the maturity of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to, provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to The Depository Trust Company of the cash amount due with respect to the Securities as promptly as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of acceleration.

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 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 Payment at Maturity or amount due upon an Automatic Call, if applicable, with respect to this Security.

The Securities are issuable in denominations of $10 and any whole multiples of $10.

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 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 cash-settled financial contract, rather than as a debt instrument.

All terms used but not defined in this Security are used herein as defined in the Calculation Agency Agreement or the Indenture.

Calculation Agent

The Calculation Agent will determine, among other things, the Initial Index Level, the Index Closing Level on each Observation Date, whether the Automatic Call feature has triggered a mandatory redemption, the Ending Index Level, the Index Return if the Securities are not automatically called, the Call Price and the Payment at Maturity, if any. In addition, the Calculation Agent will determine whether there has been a Market Disruption Event or a discontinuation of the Index, and whether there has been a material change in the method of calculation of the Index. All calculations, determinations or adjustments made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on Holders and on the Company. The Company may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time after the date of the original issue of the Securities without the Holders’ consent and without notifying Holders.

Discontinuation of the Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation

If AMEX discontinues publication of the Index and AMEX or another entity publishes a successor or substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued Index (“The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index”), then any Index Closing Level will be determined by reference to the level of such The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index at the close of trading on the Relevant Exchange or market for The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index on each Observation Date. Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be promptly furnished to the Trustee, to the Company and to the Holders.

If AMEX discontinues publication of the Index prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, a Observation Date, and the Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that no The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index is available at such

 

8


time, or the Calculation Agent has previously selected The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index and publication of such Successor Index is discontinued prior to, and such discontinuation is continuing on, such Observation Date, or if AMEX (or the publisher of any The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index) fails to calculate and publish an Index Closing Level for the Index (or any The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index) on any date when it would ordinarily do so in accordance with its customary practice, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Index Closing Level for such date. The Index Closing Level will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Index or The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index, as applicable, last in effect prior to such discontinuation or failure to calculate or publish an Index Closing Level for the Index or The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index, as applicable, using the Closing Price (or, if trading in 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 the principal trading session on such date of each security most recently composing the Index or The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index, as applicable.

If at any time the method of calculating the Index or The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index, or the level thereof, is changed in a material respect, or if the Index or The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index is in any other way modified so that the Index or such The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, fairly represent the level of the Index or such The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index had such changes or modifications not been made, then the Calculation Agent will, at the close of business in New York City on each date on which the Index Closing Level is to be determined, 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 The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications had not been made, and the Calculation Agent will calculate the Index Closing Level with reference to the Index or such The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index, as adjusted. Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index or The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index is modified so that the level of the Index or such The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index is a fraction of what it would have been if there had been no such modification (e.g., due to a split in the Index), then the Calculation Agent will adjust its calculation of the Index or such The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index in order to arrive at a level of the Index or such The AMEX Gold BUGS Index® Successor Index as if there had been no such modification (e.g., as if such split had not occurred).
